WEBVTT - Sports Talk with Lance McAlister -- 1/20/26 

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>The following takes place between seven pm and eight pm.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to it. Seven eight seven hundred WLW.

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>This is RNL Carrier Sports Talk, presented by Kelsey Chevrolet.

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm Lance Bacalister. I am glad you are here. We've

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>got two hours to get it done tonight. Settle in

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and uh let's get to work.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>On some things. I'm gonna start here.

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I still find it almost impossible to believe the Indiana

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Hoosiers are the national champions in college football after beating

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Miami last night. I mean, we can complain all we

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>want about the state of college football. That was one

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>hell of a football game, and IU is one hell

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>of a story. Kurt Signetti was right. He just wins

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven and two in two seasons.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>How about the.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Fourth and five call pushes all the chips into the middle,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and how about the run? And I still can't believe

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>that the hits he took, the run by Fernando Mendoza

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and the initial hit and then the reach and they

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 2>hit and the touchdown. He had to have needed help

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>getting out of bed this morning because he took an

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 2>absolute beating, including several cheap shots last night. Give Miami Credit.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>They answered adversity with two clutch touchdown drives late. But

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I and maybe maybe my excitement for this topic stems

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 2>from my connection to the state of Indiana and to IU.

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't consider ie you my favorite teams, but I

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>do have a connection to the state of Indiana. I

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>moved to Carmel from Cincinnati in the eighties. I went

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to high school in Indiana. I went to college in Indiana.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I worked four years in Indiana. From a period of

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty to nineteen ninety two, I was in the

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>state of Indiana. My sister went to IU. I spent

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>a summer on the campus of IU for journalism camp

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>when I was in high school.

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Mary Benedict the legend.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I watched as a Bob Knight fan, Perfection as a

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>ten year old in nineteen seventy six, I watched Isaiah

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>lead them. In nineteen eighty one, I was at Butler

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>watching from my dorm room at Ross Hall when Keith

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Smart hit the jumper from the corner of the wing

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>on the pass from Dean Garrett. In college, I traveled

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>to so many games in Bloomington. When I was interning

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.239
<v Speaker 2>at WRTV six, the India ABC affiliate to cover Indiana

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>games to get postgame sound during the Bill Mallory years,

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>he was there for thirteen years. We had season tickets

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>when Sam Weish was their coach in the nineteen eighty

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>three season, and man the football at times, oh man,

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it was tough. And it always seemed like Indiana would

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>be like five and six or six and five and

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>just get into.

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 3>A ball and then lose the bowl game.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And there was just so much that just wasn't happening

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>with Indian footbaul And consider what has taken place in

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the last two years.

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 3>And I looked it up this morning.

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>From here to the Bloomington campus, it is one hundred

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>and twenty eight miles, And I said last night, I

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>tweeted this just before I went to bed. I was

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>going to reserve some time for IU conversation tonight and

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>IU calls. And somebody said to me today, do you

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>think there's any IU listeners? Do you think anybody will call?

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And I said, well, I'm going to find out tonight.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I would think there would be. With the power of

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>a fifty thousand watt blow towards I would think most people.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>If you like sports, I bet you had a conversation

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>today about the IU game last night. If you are

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>an IU fan, the bat signal is officially out to

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you at five one, three, seven four nine, seven thousand,

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 2>one eight hundred, the big one. If you're just a

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>college football fan, if you're just a sports fan in general,

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and stand up and watch last night and have something

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>to say about that game. I thought it was worthy

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>of what we would call in radio terms, a topic

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a tonight. The first thing out of the shoot is

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>IU football, and I don't know if that's gonna net

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of calls. I don't know if it's gonna

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>net no calls. I have no idea. I had the

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>same conversation with my dad on the way in today.

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, I really don't know what to expect. But

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>my sense is the game was so good and the

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>storyline is so good that somebody will want to talk

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>about what has transpired with Indiana basketball. To think that

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty years ago IU basketball was thirty two to h

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>in national champs under Bob Knight, and no college basketball

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>team has gone undefeated since, and that now last night,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the Indiana football team, at sixteen and oho becomes an

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>unbeat national champ and to backpedal to make this a

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit bigger of a picture, to expand rather than backpedal.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 2>The state of Indiana has authored the following Think about

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>this for a second. The nineteen fifty four mile in

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>high school storybook state Championship team, smallest school. They turned

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>it into a movie Hoosiers IU Basketball. Then in eighteen

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventy six, twenty two years later goes thirty two

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to zero. Nobody has done that since. Nobody in college

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>basketball has gone undefeated since My Butler Bulldogs. Yes I'm

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>going to include my Butler Bulldogs. Out of the Horizon League,

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a school of four thousand went not just to the

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>final four, but to the national Championship Game. And then

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to prove it was that a fluke went right back

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the next year to not just the Final four, but

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the national Championship game. Almost won the first one if

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a shot from Gordon Hayward and just like give me

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>three inches to the and then you have the Indiana

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Hoosiers claiming the national championship.

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 3>In college football, are you kidding me?

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 4>Indiana?

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I entered last season with the most losses in the

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 2>history of college football. They are the national champs tonight.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 2>They were preseason number twenty. If you ever needed another

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>reason and not pay any attention to preseason bowls, they

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 2>were preseason number twenty and they were picked to finish

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>sixth in the Big Ten and their national champs. I

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>believe AU football was established in eighteen ninety nine. They've

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 2>won six bowl games. They won three in the first

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty five years. They've won three in

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 2>the last nineteen days or so, probably more than that.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, think about that for a second. They won

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>six in the history of the school. They won three

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>in this playoff format. So that's our starting point tonight.

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's one person who wants to say, nice job,

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. I just felt it was worthy of conversation

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>because of how good that game last night was and

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>how incredible the story is, because you know his story

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>is good when you're not sure what to compare it to.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I was reading in the Athletic today and the line

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>was Indiana's turnaround is one of the most unlikely stories

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 2>in American sports history. And I started thinking about it,

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and I said, I don't I don't know where to

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>begin on what it would be comparable to. I have

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>no idea, And then I was asked further complicating this,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I was asked last week the question was, well, if

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Indianna wins this, what's more impressive the nineteen seventy six

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>basketball team going undefeated or the twenty twenty five football

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>team going undefeated and claiming a national championship. And I

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>don't even know how to begin to compare that. So

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting with a lot of questions. I guess I'm

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>looking for answers, and I'm giving you a phone number

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>at five one, three, seven four nine, seven thousand, one,

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred, the Big One. We'll see what we got next.

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Right now, Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred.

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 3>WWW. The field and it is and are something.

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 5>By Indiana.

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>A play.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Then it is Tomori Shirk who comes on for.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 3>The bang and he runs in the They're gonna come anally?

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 2>What all the hair standing up on my arms? The

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 2>goat Don Fischer, by the way, Drew Andy Furman, the legend,

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>checked in off air and says, hey, you know, Indiana

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>trailed Old Dominion seven nothing in the first game of

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the season. Think about that, Thank you, Drew, think about it?

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Trailed seven nothing, to Old Dominion in the very first

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>game of the season. In fact, in that game, Indiana fumbled.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>You know what Indiana did not do the rest of

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the year lose a fumble. They lost that fumble in

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the first quarter, did not lose another fumble the rest

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.239
<v Speaker 2>of the year. They went over a thousand offensive plays

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen games and only lost one fumble in the

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>opener to Old Dominion. Incredible statistic. Great to hear from

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Andy Furman. By the way, that voice you heard Don

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Fisher fifty third year as the legendary Hall of Fame announcer,

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight years old, and Don Fisher can lay claim

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to being behind the microphone when Indiana went thirty two

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and oh under the General Robert Montgomery night in nineteen

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh Lance, I am just deliriously happy today.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Man, unbelievable.

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, honestly, everything all season has felt like, Okay, well,

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 4>then you know, they get to this next step, but

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 4>that's you know, that's where this ends, where you know.

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 4>And then they got to the Big Ten championship game,

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 4>and once they beat Ohio State and it wasn't a fluke.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't you know, some crazy play that did it.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 4>It was they stood toe to toe with Ohio State.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 4>That was the turning point for me in terms of

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 4>just Okay, this team can do whatever they want.

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good way to put it, because they

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>became a machine. I mean once they hit, once they

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>hit the playoffs in Steamroll, Alabama, and just I mean,

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, I think in the end I saw they

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 2>outscored their opponents six sixty six to one eighty seven.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Holy cow.

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, just an amazing an amazing, amazing game yesterday was

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 4>a little more tense than I was ready for, but

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, it just it could not have The whole

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 4>ride has been unbelievable.

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Was it to go out to the Rose Bowl?

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh? I saw friends that I haven't seen in twenty

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 4>five years since I was in college. So everything about

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 4>it has been awesome.

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's very cool, Mike. I appreciate you. Listen, thanks

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>for calling. Yep, have a good night. It was one

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of those games, one of those connections. I'm texting my

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 2>sister late last night, who lives in Marietta, Georgia, who's

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 2>an IU grad. I'm texting one of my best friends

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>who I went to high school with, Gary Hamblin, who

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>lives in North Carolina, who went to IU. I spent

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>many weekends on the IU campus in his dorm room,

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>hanging out weekends in Bloomington. It's one of those things

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you start texting everybody you know who has a connection

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to the Indiana Hoosiers. Right, so we got an IU fan.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy about that. I'd certainly take more, but let

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>me take care of some headlines before the bottom of

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the hour and check on news college basketball tonight. Speaking

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of Bloomington, the Indiana Hoosiers the basketball team off to

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 2>a slow start today. Yikes, about nine minutes to go

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 2>in the first half in and Arbor tonight, Indiana trailing Michigan.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk about a good team, Michigan on top of the

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Hoosiers twenty two to eight. The Miami RedHawks have jumped

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 2>out to a twenty two to fifteen leader for Kent State.

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Miami trying to get to twenty and zero in the

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>season I saw yesterday IU. Miami was actually a point

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and a half underdog in that game. This morning, the

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.319
<v Speaker 2>line had flipped in Miami became a one and a

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 2>half point favorite to begin the day. Miami with about

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the eleven minutes to go in the first half, leading

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty make it twenty five fifteen updating before my very eyes,

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>a twenty eight footer by Elmer gives him a ten

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>point lead. What else on the scoreboard? Ohio State at

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the half leading Minnesota in Big twelve Big Ten play

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, twenty eight and the Ohio Bobcats trailing Northern

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Illinois now leading make it thirteen to eleven, about eleven

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes to go in the first half. Rest of the

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 2>games we will monitor and report throughout the evening. The

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Baseball Hall of Fame has two more members, the class

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty six. Couple outfitters Carlos Beltran and Beltron

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 2>ten goal gloves, four hundred and thirty four home runs.

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 3>In fact, what did I see here?

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Beltron got eighty four point two percent of the vote.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Jones got seventy eight point four percent of the vote,

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>seventy five needed for entry. Next in line at fifty

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 2>nine point one percent, Chase Utley leading the way over

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the likes of Pettitt, who got just over forty eight percent.

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 2>King Felix Sernandez got forty six percent, a big jump

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>from last year. Ay Rod got forty percent, Manny Ramirez

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight point eight. Bobby Bray who very underrated in

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, got thirty point eight percent of the vote.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>If U realize, there are now eight braves from those

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 2>nineties teams. Eight braves in fact, all played together, are

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 2>all part of the ninety seven team in the Hall

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.880

<v Speaker 2>Greg Maddox, John Smoltz, the manager Bobby Cox, and the

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>general manager John Shirhols. Holy cow. That a lot of

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 2>that group part of what was fourteen straight division titles

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>during that time frame.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 3>What else?

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow night, Xavier takes on two game winning streak to

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Omaha to take on Creighton at seven. Joe and Byron

<v Speaker 2>Dan and Terry starting at eight thirty. Scott Springer checks

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.280

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 2>John Harbaugh officially introduced as coach of the Giants.

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 3>The Titans tab Robert Sala as their new head coach.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 2>NFL Conference Championship Sunday, Patriots at the Broncos at three,

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Rams at the Seahawks at six thirty. Both games here

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>on seven hundred und up. All right, final thoughts on

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>IU maybe as we hit the bottom of the hour.

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Their most recent bowl win entering this college football playoff

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 2>was the Copper Bowl in nineteen ninety one. That's three

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>straight national titles for the Big Ten Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana.

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody check on Paul Finebaum and Indiana beat Oregon twice,

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State, Alabama, Miami. They won five games against teams

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that finished in the committee's top ten to win the

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>national championship. I'll tell you what that Charlie Becker. All

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 2>he does is make big catch. I've never seen a

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 2>guy make as many tough contested catches as Charlie Becker does.

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>And one final note, this flew me away. Indiana was

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>the first team in thirty years to win a first

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 2>time I'M national championship. That goes back to the Florida Gators.

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Think about that. Everybody else in the previous twenty nine

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 2>years when they won it had won one previously. That

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to me is an incredible stat You know, I you

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 2>multiple national championships, Uh team, multiple teams, Alabama multiple national championships.

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Indiana is the last team to win their first national

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 2>championship in the last thirty years. Unbelievable. All right, Tom,

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe another segment with some Indiana fans. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.679
<v Speaker 2>seven thousand, one eight hundred, The Big One, the idea

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 2>of comparing the two. I don't know where to begin

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to figure that out. Next RNL Carrier Sports

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW, He's.

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.360
<v Speaker 6>Got Ty talks on the nine times up Waves as

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 6>we first time gop diving, Cody all Town tapsdown.

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Trophy.

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I still.

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Won the play call, and you just got the sense

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>that Kurt Signetti did not think the way Miami was

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 2>running the football. He just got a sense that he

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 2>did not think Indiana was going to be able to

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.120
<v Speaker 2>slow Miami and could not kick a field goal at

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that point. He goes for it fourth and five and

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a keeper Mendoza gets hit and then gets hit again

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and reaches out and got clobor to the goal line

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 2>and gets the touchdown. You know, Andy Furman checking it

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 2>off here and mentioning, I you trailed Old Dominion. It

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.360
<v Speaker 2>got me thinking how many times Indiana even trailed this season.

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 2>They trailed in the fourth quarter against Iowa thirteen to ten.

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 2>They trailed in the fourth quarter against Penn State when

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Mendoza comes up with the big touchdown in the catch

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in the back of the end zone, they win the game.

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>And they trailed Ohio State in the third quarter. They

0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 2>did not trail during the playoff runs the Indiana Hoosiers

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>claim the national championship. You know, I was thinking during

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 2>the break I am. In nineteen ninety one, Indiana opened

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the season against Notre Dame in South Bend, and I

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 2>was working at the CBS station in South Bend at

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that point, and we did an hour long season opening

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>special on the game. So they sent me to South

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.919
<v Speaker 2>or to Bloomington for Indiana Media Day to start the season,

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, did a whole bunch of interviews to

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 2>put in the can, as they say, to have them

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.640
<v Speaker 2>ready for our season opening preview and talk with Bill

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Mallory and Trent Green and guys like that. I you

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>lost that opener forty nine twenty seven in South Bend.

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>They wound up going to the Copper Bowl and they

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.120
<v Speaker 2>won that the last time they had won a bowl

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 2>game prior to this run at the end of that

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety one season with Trent Green as a quarterback.

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 2>But man, I incite I you had a running back

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 2>around that time who I watched in high school. Sheared

0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>in Indiana shared in high school, named Brent Law. They

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>had Anthony Thompson at one point, they had Von Dunbar

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 2>at one point who I watched play high school football

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 2>at Fort Wayne Snyder. I think it was I'll never

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>forget when Terry Hepnor took the job there. I remember

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 2>asking him, why are you taking that job? And he said,

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to win. And sadly Terry was there two

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 2>years and then the health issues and then sadly he

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.199
<v Speaker 2>passed away and I'm miss him dearly. When I was

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>at Butler, Butler's coach was Bill Lynch, who eventually took

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>over at IU. Cam Cameron, a quarterback at IU, was

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 2>their head coach for a time in Twine Randall All

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>in the late nineties was a fantastic player for Indiana football.

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the legendary story back to the League Courso

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 2>days is that at one point in Bloomington, with Indiana

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>leading Ohio State, Indiana had not led Ohio State in

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 2>a game in like a quarter of a century. And

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 2>if I remember this correctly, Indiana took the lead one

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Saturday against Ohio States seven to six, and Lee Corso

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>called time out and they took a picture of the scoreboard,

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the team in the sidelines with the scoreboard in the

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.680
<v Speaker 2>background showing that Indiana was leading Ohio State.

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:15.199
<v Speaker 3>I will never forget that.

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>And Sam Wish was there for the nineteen eighty three

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 2>season for his one year and then took over took

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 2>over the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 3>I keep thinking about.

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 2>What the athletic wrote today and trying to put it

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what it is comparable to, and the

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 2>line was Indiana's turnaround is one of the most unlikely

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 2>stories in American sports history. I want to say, like

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Cinderella story, but this isn't. This isn't a worst to

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 2>first story. This isn't like a team that finished last

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 2>one year and then won the Super Bowl the next year,

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 2>or finished last one year and won the World Series

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the next year. This was, to begin the season the

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 2>worst college foot ball team in the history of college

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>football program. I mean, the team last year obviously lost

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 2>to Indiana or at lost to Ohio State in the

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 2>College or Notre Dame Inhio and the college football playoffs.

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 2>But it's the bigger picture of what the program was

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.479
<v Speaker 2>two years ago to winning the national championship. I mean,

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>sure you could say the I guess the eighty miracle

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:27.199
<v Speaker 2>on ice, but I just don't know that there's something

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.919
<v Speaker 2>that I would I would find a fair apples to

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 2>apples comparison of just what the turnound is like. If

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>this is up to date, and I think it is,

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Indiana is one of an eye. I would not have

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>guessed there were this many schools. Indiana is one of

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>eleven schools to win a national championship in both football

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and basketball. And a lot of this goes back to

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 2>teams wanted in the fifties in football, and there were

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 2>there were so many different way whether it was the

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Coach's Pole or the upa United Press International Poll. There

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 2>were different designations for now national championships, national champions and

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 2>that's evolved over the years and computers and bcs and

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to the College Football Playoff. But the list I saw

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>this morning, including Indiana now is UCLA. UCLA won a

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>shared a national championship in nineteen fifty four with Ohio State,

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State, Syracuse, Maryland, Michigan State, cal Florida, Arkansas, Michigan,

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Stanford to go along with Indiana, one of eleven schools

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to lay claim to a national championship in both football

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 2>and basketball. And I'm assuming for the sake of this,

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>none of those other ten, let's see, UCLA would have

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 2>had undefeated. Wait, well, wait a minute, did UCLA's national

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 2>championship football team have an undefeated season? I was wondering

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>if Indiana is the only one to have an undefeated

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>national champ in both sports, but certainly John Woodin's Bruins

0:23:55.960 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 2>had sixty seven seventy two to seventy three unbeaten, and

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that fifty four football team went undefeated from

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>memory of looking it up earlier this morning. The other

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>question I was asked, and I think this is almost impossible,

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 2>is which one's more impressive winning a college basketball national

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 2>championship going thirty two and oh in nineteen seventy six

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 2>or winning the college football national championship going sixteen to

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 2>oh in twenty twenty five twenty twenty six season. No

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 2>one's ever gone sixteen and oh in winning the national

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 2>championship because the season hasn't been that long. For the

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>most part, I think time would be on the side

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 2>of the argument for basketball because it has stood up

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 2>for fifty years nobody's which makes it more impressive. But

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the football team hasn't had years, you know, to add

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 2>to its resume for the argument. But fifty years nobody

0:24:54.840 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>else has finished in undefeated National championship season in college basketball.

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>That was an experienced Indiana team in seventy six. You

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 2>can talk about the age of this IU team, but

0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I would I would argue it would have been easier

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 2>from a basketball standpoint with four year players that you

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:17.199
<v Speaker 2>recruited and developed and there wasn't the transfer portal and

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Nil and Jez. That team in seventy six would have

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 2>been Scotty May would have been a senior, Quinn Buckner

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 2>would have been a senior, Bobby Wilkerson a senior, Tom

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Abernathy a senior, Jim Cruz a senior, and I think

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Kent Benson was a junior on that team, So that

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>it was easier that you that Bob Knight had a

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 2>group that he he groomed and developed and coached up.

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Signetti added what twenty two players in the transfer

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>portal this year. I still find it amazing that he

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:54.120
<v Speaker 2>added last season he had added I think fourteen players

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 2>from James Madison, his previous school as part of the

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 2>foundation for all of this. You know, somebody on my

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Facebook page asked answered this question by simply saying, do

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>we have to choose?

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 3>And I said, if you're an IU fan.

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't have to because you've got a national

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 2>champion in both So maybe that ultimately is the best answer.

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, Heading down the Stretch on Saturday night, it's

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.000

<v Speaker 5>comments this Saturday, it's a four pm puck trop And

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 5>those that don't know what the teddy Bear toss is.

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 5>Once the Cyclones score their first goal of the game,

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.199
<v Speaker 5>you can bring as many bears as you like to

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 5>the building and you throw them over the glass, throw

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:12.439
<v Speaker 5>them at the opposing goalie if you like, and all

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 5>those bears go to a great cause. They benefit our

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:19.680
<v Speaker 5>Cincinnati Police Cincinnati FD and it's all amazing. Matthew twenty

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 5>five minutes. Striies also in the mix.

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Have you been hitting the head by a stuffed animal

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>while broadcasting?

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:26.160
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 5>But I'm not sure if you remember this, But last

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 5>year I said that broadcast is before me. What warned

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 5>me that if they if people don't like you, they'll

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 5>turn around soll bears at you. So I must be

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 5>doing a pretty good job because nobody throw a bear

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 5>at me last year.

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right.

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So so backtrack a little bit here, refresh my memory.

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Does this take place when a goal is scored or

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 2>when the game is over? What's the moment that triggers it?

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 5>All? The Cyclone's first goal, so it could happen at

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 5>any point.

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Last year we got down to the wire.

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 5>It's like five minutes to go in the game, but

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 5>it could happen as soon as the Cyclone score.

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that it's a matt and Ay I

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>love because you can go late afternoon and still have

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the rest of your Saturday night to enjoy as well.

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, and it's a day full of hockey because earlier

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 5>in the morning we have our frozen five K ten K,

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 5>so I'll have all the hot chocolate, all the marathon,

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 5>all the runners want to come down, and so it

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 5>could be a whole day at the bank. So you

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 5>can run for a couple of minutes and then you

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 5>can go go enjoy a meal and then come on

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 5>back to the rinks.

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of meals, I must ask were did you happen

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>to be part of the meal the team meal at

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Ruby's where the chef prepared a goalie mask cake.

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 5>I've seen it. It is awesome. It is fantastic, and

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm jealous. I kind of want my own. My parents

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 5>are coming in town for the first time next month,

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 5>and that's the first place I'm going to take them to.

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to make sure we get the goalie helmet.

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 3>That was awesome.

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Go back to yesterday if we could, because it was Kids'

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Day so that was an early start. Lost a while

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>one six', Five but the scene in that place with

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the vie of kids must be really.

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:09.160

<v Speaker 2>great to. Me you could feel there was a lot more,

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:29.959
<v Speaker 2>room if that makes, Sense and specifically when you walk

0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 2>in and go left that giant elevator in that concourse

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 2>area that was, gone and it was really. Cool casey

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 2>had a. Blast he was there with his. Friends he

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 2>sent me a, Text i'm in line For Alfredo duno's,

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 2>autograph and he bought an, album A Bronson arroyo record

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 2>album That bronson, signed and got a cool sweatshirt and

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:50.359
<v Speaker 2>some other.

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:52.319
<v Speaker 3>Stuff so had a great.

0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Time if IF i, could if there were if there

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:57.840
<v Speaker 2>were two THINGS i had the power to change about Reds,

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:03.320
<v Speaker 2>FEST i would make it brighter inside Of Reds, fest

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 2>like in the interior of. It for whatever, reason it

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 2>always seems dark to. ME i would lighten things, that

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>like put a spotlight on everything that's inside. There it's so,

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 2>big and it always seems to be like there's a

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 2>light turned, Off LIKE i want to look for a

0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:21.719
<v Speaker 2>light switch and like flip a. Switch AND i would

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:27.279
<v Speaker 2>dramatically change the ratio of autograph. LINES i would dramatically

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>reduce autograph opportunities for adults and dramatically increase the opportunities for.

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:36.360
<v Speaker 2>KIDS i, MEAN i might have like two lines for

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 2>adults and every other line would be for kids IF

0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 2>i were in, charge But i'm.

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Not BUT i had a great time On friday.

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>NIGHT i want you to take a listen to SOMETHING

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:47.479
<v Speaker 2>a couple of things That Emilio pagan told, me WHICH

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:50.760
<v Speaker 2>i found really, cool about one of the Newest reds

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 2>about what it means To emilio to be back and

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:59.880
<v Speaker 2>what that new addition means to their, bullpen WHICH I

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 2>i don't think there's enough attention paid to stuff like.

0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 2>This let's pick it up WITH i Ask, amelia who

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Remember Emelio pagan was a free. Agent we did a

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 2>topic what of our early questions in the offseason was

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 2>would you re Sign Emilio pegan who had a fantastic

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 2>season but was a free agent and the thought was

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 2>he might command upwards OF i don't, know twelve, thirteen

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 2>fourteen million dollars multi year.

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 3>Deal would you do something like?

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:31.399
<v Speaker 2>That they wind up getting him for it's a one

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 2>year with an. Option it's one year at ten, million

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and then an option for a second year with a bio.

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Attached BUT i Asked emelio On friday, night up on

<v Speaker 6>Yeah so he, uh he had a club option With

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 6>atlanta coming into this, season AND i thought it was

0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 6>a no brainer that they was gonna get picked.

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Up and so when it wasn't.

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Obviously you, KNOW i called him. Immediate well actually he

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:51.919
<v Speaker 6>he called me probably five minutes after it was declined and, said,

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:53.960

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 6>Well i'm going To. Cincinnati they don't know that, yet

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 6>But i'm that's Where i'm. Going and uh SO i.

0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 6>WAS i was in his e all off season AND i,

0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 6>had you, know my, Wife jordan was talking to his

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 6>Wife christina and talking about, like, hey we could do.

0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 3>This you guys can live, here we can live.

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 6>There our kids get along, great and so you, know

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 6>aside from, that he's a super talented pitcher that has

0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:17.359
<v Speaker 6>a pitch that we don't, have you, know we don't

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 6>we don't have a curveball in our bullpen that he.

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 6>Has and so it adds a different, wrinkle a different

0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.880
<v Speaker 6>look from our team That tito can go to h

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 6>so that the you, know the opposing hitters aren't seeing

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:32.400
<v Speaker 6>the same pitch twice in a game where in a, series,

0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 6>yeah which just you, know gives us a better opportunity

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:37.640
<v Speaker 6>to come away with series. Wins and so, yeah, Him

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:41.759
<v Speaker 6>Caleb ferguson Brought. BURKE i, mean our bullpen has a

0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 6>chance to be, really really, good and so you know

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:46.920
<v Speaker 6>it's our job to got there now and execute at

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 6>a high.

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Level you, know it's funny you mentioned the curve Because

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:51.319
<v Speaker 2>i'm a big baseball savant, dork AND i noticed he

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:52.840
<v Speaker 2>throws it about eighty two percent of the.

0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Time that's a nasty curve.

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 6>Ball, yeah it's you, know it's arguably one of the

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:00.400
<v Speaker 6>best curveballs in the. World and so to have that

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:03.880
<v Speaker 6>that weapon added to our, group you, know it's unique

0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:06.719
<v Speaker 6>to him and we don't have. That and so you,

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:09.920

<v Speaker 2>and the addition to the bullpen and a different look

0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:08.919

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 2>tommy john. Surgery sort of interesting how they ultimately use,

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:48.080

0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:28.600
<v Speaker 2>line and area WHERE i think Of Andre, dawson Not

0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:32.239
<v Speaker 2>andrea at the, time but that ball dropped down that

0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 2>line for a double IF i, remember for his four thousand.

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Hit but back to my original point, Here Pete rose

0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 2>in An expos uniform was always like a like a

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>trigger for me of something that just didn't look. Right

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and it leads me to a topic we've done certainly

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:51.799
<v Speaker 2>in the. Past AND i think of every TIME i

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.240
<v Speaker 2>think Of pete in An expos uniform looking at his baseball,

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.880
<v Speaker 2>card AND i said that it doesn't look, right and

0:48:56.920 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 2>it's uniform cameos in the idea of an athlete who

0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 2>wound up on a, team and it just you think,

0:49:05.040 --> 0:49:07.280
<v Speaker 2>back and it just never looked.

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Right it just never made, sense.

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Like oh, Man and it happens more and more now

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:13.800
<v Speaker 2>there's so much movement in the game and free agency

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and guys skipped from one team to the next. Day, Hey,

0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Kevin i'm watching AN nba right. Now And Kevin durant

0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 2>played for What seattle In Oklahoma, city Then Golden state

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and Then brooklyn and The phoenix and Then houston guys like.

0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 3>That so guys are moving all.

0:49:26.520 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Around but WHEN i think Of Pete, ROSEEN i think

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:30.040
<v Speaker 2>of The montreal EXPOS i think if.

0:49:29.920 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Something just didn't look.

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Right it made me think Of cincinnati athletes that wound

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:38.440
<v Speaker 2>up in another uniform that it just it took a

0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:41.520
<v Speaker 2>while to get used, to never quite looked. Right maybe

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:44.880
<v Speaker 2>you forgot about it even playing for that, team or

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:48.240
<v Speaker 2>an athlete that made a cameo appearance With cincinnati teams

0:49:48.239 --> 0:49:50.160
<v Speaker 2>that were so short you forgot.

0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 3>ABOUT i, MEAN i think of.

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:55.719
<v Speaker 2>He never appeared in a major league, Game but WHEN

0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:58.800
<v Speaker 2>i Watched Joey vado in spring trading wearing A Toronto

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Blue jays, UNIFORM i thought Of pete rose in an exposed,

0:50:02.320 --> 0:50:05.600
<v Speaker 2>uniform not because of The canadian, crossover but because he

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:09.520
<v Speaker 2>just didn't look. Right Joey vado should have only worn

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:12.320
<v Speaker 2>A red's. Uniform AND i know Also pete wore A phillies,

0:50:12.400 --> 0:50:15.400
<v Speaker 2>uniform but That expo's. Uniform there's just something about looking

0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:19.040
<v Speaker 2>At pete in an exposed uniform THAT i think uniform

0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:22.480
<v Speaker 2>cameos is something Like Joe morgan played for The Oakland

0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a's for a time that never looked. Right Rudy johnson

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 2>played for The Detroit. LIONS i think Of rudy In

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:39.000
<v Speaker 2>bengals AND, i, oh that's. Right he did play for

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 2>The lions for a. Time Chad johnson played for The

<v Speaker 2>and less in terms of believability credibility of The Baseball

0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:56.880
<v Speaker 2>hall Of.

0:58:56.920 --> 0:58:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Fame i've been.

0:58:57.520 --> 0:59:00.000
<v Speaker 2>There we were there For King Griffey Junior induction Week

0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:03.919
<v Speaker 2>it's a wonderful town out the middle of. NOWHERE i would,

0:59:03.960 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 2>recommend and if we ever go, back it will be

0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:09.560
<v Speaker 2>outside of an induction, weekend because induction weekend is. Nuts

0:59:09.840 --> 0:59:12.720
<v Speaker 2>we were there For junior along With Mike. Piazza we'll

0:59:12.760 --> 0:59:15.080
<v Speaker 2>never forget that. Weekend it was me and my dad

0:59:15.120 --> 0:59:17.360
<v Speaker 2>And casey and we did a cross country drive and

0:59:17.400 --> 0:59:22.360
<v Speaker 2>it was. Unbelievable but the whole process to, me has

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:28.080
<v Speaker 2>become so just frustrating as the years gone. On from

0:59:28.920 --> 0:59:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's not even as much A peat thing or

0:59:31.840 --> 0:59:35.600
<v Speaker 2>A bonds or A clemens. Thing it starts with the voting,

0:59:35.640 --> 0:59:40.640
<v Speaker 2>process and to, me the process itself needs a complete

0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and total.

0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Overhaul AND i say it this.

0:59:44.760 --> 0:59:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Way if The hall Of fame was introduced today and

0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 2>they revealed a voting process that they currently, use and

0:59:54.920 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 2>you were told that the only people voting for The

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Baseball hall Of fame were, writers what would you think

1:00:05.600 --> 1:00:08.360
<v Speaker 2>about that? PROCESS i think if you're like, me you'd,

1:00:08.400 --> 1:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>say why would you only include? Writers and this started

1:00:13.560 --> 1:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>back in nineteen thirty six when newspapers were king not

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to step on any newspapers collective. Toes but newspapers aren't

1:00:23.320 --> 1:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>nearly the thing today that they once. Were THERE'S, tv there's,

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>radio there's, newspapers there's a lot of outlets covering. Baseball

1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:36.480
<v Speaker 2>so nobody would believe today if the process was unveiled

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>that it should only be writers that vote for The

1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Baseball hall Of. Fame and the way it, is you

1:00:42.080 --> 1:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>have to be a member of The Baseball Writers' association Of,

1:00:44.160 --> 1:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>america you have to have been an active baseball writer

1:00:46.760 --> 1:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>for at least ten, years and that it's been that

1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>way since nineteen thirty. Six, Well i'd argue it might

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:56.120
<v Speaker 2>be time to update the. Process and this is The

1:00:56.160 --> 1:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>hall Of fame who dictates. This And i'm not breaking

1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>news here that media coverage has dramatically changed since nineteen thirty.

1:01:06.360 --> 1:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Six think about some of the individuals, that by this

1:01:11.280 --> 1:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>voting process don't have a vote in the.

1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Process Marty.

1:01:16.120 --> 1:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Brenneman does anybody believe That Marty, brenneman having been the

1:01:22.360 --> 1:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>voice of The reds going back to nineteen seventy four

1:01:24.840 --> 1:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>threw up until what five years, ago should not have

1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a vote and a member of The Baseball hall Of

1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>fame should not have a vote for The hall Of.

1:01:33.280 --> 1:01:38.280

1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>for The hall Of? Fame Or George Grand over the,

1:01:42.280 --> 1:01:46.680

<v Speaker 2>up in nineteen thirty. Six, then don't even get me

1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:37.560

<v Speaker 3>Years i'll make him wait for. THREE i said it.

1:03:45.600 --> 1:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Earlier Andrew, jones when he first appeared to the ballot

1:03:49.760 --> 1:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in twenty, eighteen got just over seven percent of the.

1:03:52.840 --> 1:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Vote seven percent of those baseball writers Thought Andrew jones

1:03:57.520 --> 1:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>was A hall Of. Famer now in twenty, twenty seventy

1:04:01.800 --> 1:04:04.600
<v Speaker 2>eight percent of the writers believe he's A hall Of.

1:04:04.640 --> 1:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Famer you know What Andrew jones has not done between

1:04:07.960 --> 1:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen and tonight's reveal in twenty twenty. Six he's

1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>not played a single baseball.

1:04:15.400 --> 1:04:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Game it just.

1:04:19.520 --> 1:04:21.840
<v Speaker 2>That and don't even get me started on the whole

1:04:21.920 --> 1:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>idea Of if The Baseball hall Of fame is a

1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>record of a gallery of the greatest to ever play

1:04:29.760 --> 1:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the game in an institution that tells the history of the,

1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Game i'm sorry this will not sit well with, some probably.

1:04:37.560 --> 1:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Many there is no way you can tell the history

1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:43.440
<v Speaker 2>of the game and not include the greats that include

1:04:43.480 --> 1:04:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the man who won the MOST Mvp, Awards Barry, bonds

1:04:46.480 --> 1:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the most Cy Young, Awards Roger, clemens and who has

1:04:49.280 --> 1:04:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the most hits In Pete. Rose AND i will till

1:04:52.240 --> 1:04:55.520
<v Speaker 2>the DAY i die believe that you should be able

1:04:55.560 --> 1:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>to have those players in The hall Of fame and

1:04:59.360 --> 1:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>on their include their. Transgressions and if that means dad

1:05:05.320 --> 1:05:08.160
<v Speaker 2>or grandfather with son or grandson in The hall Of,

1:05:08.200 --> 1:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>fame taking the, tour looking at that plaque and having

1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Little johnny, Say, dad tell me About Barry bonds and

1:05:14.480 --> 1:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Saying Barry bonds was one of the most dominant players

1:05:17.360 --> 1:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>in the history of the, game who also was accused

1:05:19.640 --> 1:05:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of steroid use during an embarrassing era of the. Game

1:05:23.360 --> 1:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>then so be. IT i think we will survive because

1:05:27.680 --> 1:05:33.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, what the records that are held By Barry

1:05:33.120 --> 1:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>bonds And Roger clemens And Pete, rose they are all

1:05:37.360 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>recognized By Major League. Baseball those records haven't been scrapped

1:05:42.560 --> 1:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>from the record, books washed from the record.

1:05:44.680 --> 1:05:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Books they are recognized.

1:05:47.920 --> 1:05:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Today and to do that and not include them in

1:05:51.320 --> 1:05:53.200
<v Speaker 2>The Baseball hall Of fame tells me there's a whole

1:05:53.200 --> 1:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>bunch of people at The hall Of fame who need

1:05:55.120 --> 1:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>to get over, themselves because in the, end it's just

1:05:59.000 --> 1:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>The Baseball hall Of, fame and that tells the tale

1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest to ever play and at the same

1:06:06.560 --> 1:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>time the history of the. Game and there's a lot

1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>of embarrassing. Things there's a lot of different eras that

1:06:11.640 --> 1:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>baseball has gone through over the. Years there was a

1:06:14.640 --> 1:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>period where blacks were not allowed to. Play there was

1:06:17.920 --> 1:06:20.840
<v Speaker 2>a period of, steroids there was a period of, expansion

1:06:20.880 --> 1:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>there was a period of the dead ball, era on

1:06:23.720 --> 1:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and on and, on and it JUST i don't know

1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:30.480
