He said, years ago, I was confronted 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: by Tracy Jones at some function and he said, Tracy, 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: this is in nineteen eighty seven. And he said, or 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: he heard an interview is what he did heard you say? 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: And the club was in the astrodome that you said 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: all parks should have AstroTurf as well as a dome stadium. 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: How did that workout? 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: Who said that? This span what's his name? I don't 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 3: know what his name, assume him. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: He said you said that on a postgame as you 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: were star of the game or something. I said, Well, 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: last automatically open to question has been a tough night. 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: You know what, I actually remember saying that because I 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 3: liked play on turf and I don't like to talk 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: about playing on turf. Hey, I had the second highest 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: batting average on turf next to Steve Sachs in nineteen 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: eighty seven. I like turf because I hit a lot 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 3: of balls on the ground, not in the air, which 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: should have hit the ball in the air. And plus 28 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: I like going to the ballpark and knowing you're gonna play. 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: I hate when the weather you know you'll have rain 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: and I'll shut it down for an hour. So I 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: do like dome stadiums and I do like playing on turf. 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to continue this because I want to make 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 2: another point that I think is rather valid. We'll be back, Okay. 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: So you made the comment that you read all clubs 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: should have astro turf and they also should play in 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: the dome stadium. Were you speaking for yourself or whether 37 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: you were speaking for yourself as well as other members 38 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: of the club. No, I only speak for myself. I 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: don't care about the rest of the players. Didn't you 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: like going and playing in a dome stadium where you 41 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: knew you were gonna brought, it was going to be 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: on time and you were going to play the game 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: instead of a rain delay. And they have them all 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: the time, right, and Cincinnati there's always difficult weather. Did 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: you like broadcasting all teams had domes? 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: See right? It makes it so much easier. 47 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: It feels the same way I'm spokes with me. Feels 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: the same way. Uh well, I've often said rain delays 49 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: and doubleheaders were the curses in my job. I did 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: both of. 51 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: Them the worst. Now you enjoyed doing that rain delay, 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: the banana fun I remember that. How about a retractable roof? 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: You know the Red should have probably done that. I 54 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 3: think the cost factor came into play there. The big deal. 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: Just give them a jock tax for the city and 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: county will pick up any jock tax. You know, players 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: get taxed in some cities of the games that they play. 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: It happens, and can't tell me. 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: So the broadcasters, well, who cares about them? 60 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: Well, you guys make too much money in the different states, 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: isn't it crazy? 62 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: Thieves? 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: Well so to entertainers that come into the don't care 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: about the entertain either, do I
