00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,359

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: their success this dynasty going in the next segment. But

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 4: right now, it's time for the top story of the

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 4: day to sty of the day.

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: That were Week twelve of the NFL. We're fifteen games

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: into the NBA season. Lebron James is black. Back. He

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: is black, but he's also back at practice.

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: That's just a statement of fact. Lebron James is black.

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: That's like when I told Jim Harb about Toby Gerhart

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: was white, he was shocked. What so, who's on the team. Well,

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: you got that Toby Gerhart guy in the white back

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: he's white.

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's white. Lebron is black. But hey, listen, even

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: with all of that, everything that is happening, Rams tied

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: for first place in the NFC Chargers, in the wild Card,

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: in the AESC, the Dodger light still shines bright.

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: We know where our bread is butter, that's right.

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: And with all the articles out there, with all the

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: belly up to the bar conversations, hopefully that's a solid

79
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: oak bar you've bellied up to. The scrolling through the

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: countless shoulder channels acting as satellites to the Dodgers' central

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: planet slash star stop, We've seen it. We know what

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: this is going to look like. With the exception of

83
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: Shohl Tani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers have always entered

84
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 2: free agency cautiously. And that even goes for Tanner, Scott

85
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: and Blake Snell. Last year, Scott, the best reliever on

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: the market, wanted to surpass Josh Haters five year, nineteen

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: million per deal. The Dodgers waited.

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: He's with the Dodgers till twenty thirty five, so that's good.

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: I think the salary increases too as the years go on,

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: mainking it even better.

91
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: The Dodgers sticking my ass right now.

92
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: He did not get what he was looking for, and

93
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: that's when they decided, all right, value, we'll give him

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: four for seventy two. See if he takes it. He did,

95
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: it's not gone great. Eighteen mil per year. It was

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: four years, not five. So that worked for the Dodgers.

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: But of course it didn't work for the Dodgers. But

98
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: it wasn't the get out there ahead of everybody else

99
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: in hand Kyle Tucker four hundred million dollars, which is

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: some are starting the idea that some are starting to

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: push the idea behind splurging on Scott was kind of

102
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: easy to read, right. They had won the World Series

103
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: the postseason prior, and they did it with a dominant

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: bullpen that had on occasion a little shaky moments that

105
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: could have derailed that path to the World Series, so

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: they shorted up. Same thing with Blake Snell. It was

107
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: the years. He's got the fourth highest average annual value

108
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: thirty six and a half million bucks a season, only

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: to Gram and Zach Wheeler. If you want to include

110
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: a Motani make more, but you look at like Garrett Cole.

111
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: He's got a contract worth three hundred and twenty four

112
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: million bucks. The other pitcher they were recording, Max Freed,

113
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: got eight years, so they went with their Dodger plan

114
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: to save money. He was in air quotes. Here saved money.

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: Offered their deal five years, not eight, five and one

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: eighty two, a higher average, a healthy signing bonus, and

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: a deal that'll end when Blake Snell's thirty six not forty,

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: and he wanted it, and they pulled the trigger. Same

119
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: with Freddie Freeman when they signed him, they jumped at

120
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: it after the Braves botched it so badly it left

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: Freddy in tears for months.

122
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 4: Kershaw had to tell him to snap out of it.

123
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: You would act like a man. Step out of it.

124
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: He took the deferred money. Godfather, I don't know what

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do. Step out of it. Freddy took the

126
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: deferred money. He took the shorter deal. He's got two

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: years left through his age thirty eight season, and he's

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: affordable twenty seven million bucks a year. Is Kyle Tucker

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: really going to give the Dodgers four hundred million bucks

130
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: worth of value. It's an organization that has made a

131
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: fortune on big investments that provide bigger returns. Shoho Tani

132
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: seven hundred million dollar deal, I am not exaggerating here,

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: is worth five hundred percent more to the Dodgers than

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: what Juan sotos seven hundred and sixty five million dollar

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 4: deal is worth of the Mets. When they traded for

136
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: Mooki and made him a three hundred and sixty five

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: million dollar man, it was a signal that the dog

138
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: days of Frank McCourt were well in the past, and

139
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: that superstars would be paid to play the games on

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: the biggest stage, Dodger Stadium. They knew the value of

141
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: the ace because they inherited one, and Clayton Kershaw every

142
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: fifth day was worth more than any position player they

143
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: could have made the face of the franchise, So they

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: offered Garrett cole As three hundred million. He took the

145
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: Yankees three hundred million instead. And when they found another

146
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: true ace finally become available, Yamamoto, they quickly right recognized

147
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: he's not just going to be our next Clayton Kershaw

148
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: for Dodger fans. Getting the thirty some million Dodger fans

149
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: is great, but he's going to be the equivalent of

150
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: Clayton Kershaw in Japan.

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Yama, mote to your scroute, straight to your scroute. One

152
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million eyes they got on baseball over there.

153
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: If Otani's out, you got Yama. If Yama's out, you

154
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: got otom.

155
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: One hundred and twenty million eyes.

156
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: And now it's a little more. Every Japanese player that

157
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: has the ability to make a choice of where to

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: play has the Dodgers on top of their list. Why

159
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: wouldn't they? What team is going to be more popular

160
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: in Japan than the one that has its greatest baseball

161
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: export in show A and its greatest pitcher in Yamamoto.

162
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: Yamam to your scrout and speaking to Yama, mote to

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: your scroat sidebar on that he's thinking about. What David

164
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: Vesse was saying to us when he got all defensive

165
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: about the WBC, the World Baseball Classic.

166
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: Well he doesn't want anybody playing.

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: We're all gonna play. If I say, might hate it,

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: the Dodgers might be in fear of it. But you

169
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: bet your ass. All three of those guys, Yamamoto all

170
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: worn out from his complete games and bullpen heroics in

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: the postseason, Otani with two Tommy Johns and two Way

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: playing through the postseason, Roki Sasaki out all year with

173
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: his shoulder issue, yet a postseason hero. Oh, they're playing.

174
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: I did not realize that the Pool C, which features

175
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: or Pool D, whichever pool they're in. Those games are

176
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: being played in Tokyo. They are being played against Chinese, Taipei,

177
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: and Korea. And if you think for a freaking second,

178
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: those three dudes aren't playing in the World Baseball Classic

179
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: because the Dodgers are worried about injury and wear and tear.

180
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: They're playing. And if they do what they did in

181
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three with Roki Sizzlin as a kid with

182
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: Yamamoto as their age, with Otani authoring the event's signature

183
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: moment when he struck out Mike Trout to win the

184
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, even the Dodgers would acknowledge it'll be

185
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: worth tens of millions of dollars in Japanese tourists to

186
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers don't want the US to win.

187
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: They want the Team Japan to win because it is

188
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: a bigger deal over there than the World Series. Yet,

189
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: when you combine it with the World Series, the amount

190
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: you think there have been tour buses going to top

191
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: of the World and letting people out at that accessible

192
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Dodger store top of the World, there will be triple,

193
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: quadruple the tour buses coming up vin Scully Way off

194
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: a sunset to spend thousands and thousands of dollars in

195
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: both WBC, and there'll be a package deal. Hey, get

196
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: your WBC jersey, your Dodgers World Series MVP had get

197
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: it all right here, one sweet package.

198
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: You do want these guys play?

199
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: Oh yes they do. You bet you're ass they do,

200
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: and they're gonna want them to win the whole freaking thing.

201
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: Maybe we could have a showdown with Dave about it

202
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 4: this week or next week. We could use the content.

203
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: He'll be heard tomorrow, He'll be heard tomorrow, all right,

204
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: So perfect well, layyuh, we are planting.

205
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: Seeds, nefarious seeds.

206
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: Based on what David wants to see all right, back

207
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: to the free agents. Here be yet.

208
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: Trades. Let's not forget.

209
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: Trades are a big part of what the Dodgers use

210
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: to put together their roster. Depending on how the player

211
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: fits the clubhouse, they're either back or they're a sloppy

212
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: seconds in San Diego, you Darvish Manny Machado, Trey Turner,

213
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer, see you later, Tommy Edmund Tyler Glasnow Max Munsey.

214
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: Great to have you. Remember Mookie's a star, a super

215
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: and he was an MVP and a World Series champion

216
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: before he got here. Freddie hometown kid, but an MVP

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: and a World Series champion before the Dodgers handed him

218
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: a pile of money. Kyle Tucker, I would assume that's

219
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: going to be a Blake Snell Freddie Freeman sort of thing.

220
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 2: Hey you're twenty nine, we're not giving you a ten

221
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: year deal. You want to come here, you want to win.

222
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: We'll give you the higher average value, short term deal,

223
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: just like they offered Bryce Harper, which, by the way,

224
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: for all the incoming the Dodgers took on taking a

225
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: pass on Bryce, who wanted that thirteen year deal, and

226
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: they offered him like six last time I checked. When

227
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 2: the Philly season was over, David Dombrowski, their GM, when

228
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: he met with the assembled media, asked the question aloud,

229
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper.

230
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: Still e lite.

231
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was very awkward.

232
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure Andrew Freedman was like, now you know why

233
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: we offered him six years and not thirteen.

234
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: And that's the kind of stuff that ends you up

235
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: in a ditch, don't.

236
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: You effor talk to the commission to like that again.

237
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: You can't come to Las Vegas and talk to Moke

238
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: Green like that.

239
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: So I would assume that that will be the approach

240
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: to Tucker. If you want it, take it, If not, whatever,

241
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: here's five years, one hundred and ninety million bucks. But

242
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: signing Kyle Tucker is not going to put a single

243
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: extra ass in a seat, or put one more eyeball

244
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,479
Speaker 2: on Spectrum, or one more ear on a five Sea

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: Sports or have one more Japanese tourist walking through the

246
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,119
Speaker 2: Top of the World Dodger Store, Top.

247
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: Of the World once again. What a time. It will not.

248
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: What it could do is maybe give Tao a day off,

249
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: protect yourself from a protracted pa has slump, Maybe allow

250
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund to stay at Second but as we talk

251
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: about one thing that will upset Vessa, one thing that

252
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: we can echo that he shared with us. If you're

253
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: going to circle one guy looks like that Obashett might

254
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: be the one. Seems like a groove fastball right down.

255
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: The d.

256
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: Only twenty seven. It's gonna probably take you less than

257
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: two hundred million bucks. He can play third base now.

258
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: But he's a hated blue Jay. Yeah, but he's a

259
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: hated blue Jay. But you know what, you can't have

260
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: a spy.

261
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: He obviously came up big in the game's biggest moment

262
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: with his three run home run that should have won

263
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays the World Series. Was not his fault.

264
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: The closer couldn't close the door right when they had

265
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: like a ninety six percent chance of winning the World Series.

266
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: But Shett delivered. So he's clutch. He's young, and I

267
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: would assume as much as he loves Toronto, the idea

268
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: of playing with the Dodgers for the next seven eight

269
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: years probably gonna seemed quite enticing compared to what other

270
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: offers might find his way find their way to his

271
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: desk to sign.

272
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: The Dodger Power Hour continue.

273
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,480

00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 5: Are money? Nice to talk to you again, and thank

315
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 5: you for giving me a chance to talk about this book.

316
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: We're looking forward to it. What gave you the idea

317
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: to do this? What made you think the interviews and

318
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: all that stuff would work? I mean, it certainly works.

319
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: What was the inspiration behind it all?

320
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I have two sports websites and one

321
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 5: of the Ross porter Sports I called videos this YouTube

322
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 5: and on that. On that side, I have two hundred

323
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: and twenty interviews wow, that I've done over fifty years.

324
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 5: And people said to me, you've got to do something

325
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: with that before you go, and so I said, okay,

326
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 5: I'll think about it. And I got to put producer

327
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: who said, yeah, let's do it. And so we've worked

328
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: on that. I'd say five months to get it ready.

329
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 5: I chose twenty four different interviews and put them together

330
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: and try to get a good range of players. And

331
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: I'm very, very thrilled with the reception to it so far,

332
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: and I thank you guys very much for giving me

333
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 5: a chance, because it's very simple. All you have to

334
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: do to order it is is go to Rossportersports dot com.

335
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: Perfect Ross. What's the you mentioned two hundred plus? Look,

336
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: anyone can schedule an interview, but very few can make

337
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: it compelling, can get the subject to open up, to share,

338
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: to provide things that others want to hear or see

339
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: or read. So what was your secret? What led to you?

340
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 5: Mean? That's a very good question. And I thought my

341
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: favorites or Vin Scully number Chapter one twenty one minutes,

342
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 5: and I thought it was probably the best review I

343
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 5: ever did because I got to him talking about things

344
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 5: that he'd never talked about before. And the other woman

345
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 5: that I like Mike Sooshi because Mike Sooshia. I told

346
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 5: the story about Mike Sooshia. That shows you the character

347
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 5: of the man. And it's very good. Now you guys

348
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 5: mentioned I'm glad you did this that the QR code

349
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 5: is on there, and I want to say in chapter four,

350
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 5: I have Ted Williams and Mike Piazza. Ted talking to

351
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: me at Vero Beach after he talked to the Dodger

352
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 5: players one year and then explained him very well what

353
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 5: you should do to be a good hitter. And then

354
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 5: this was interesting. When Mike Piazza was sixteen years old,

355
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 5: Ted Williams was in his hometown in Pennsylvania to do

356
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: a book signing. He had some extra time. He went

357
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 5: out to Piazza's home and Mike's dad had built him

358
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 5: a batting cage, and Mike got in the batting cage

359
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 5: and Ted Williams go there and analyze his hitting, and

360
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: that song there when you go to the XR the

361
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 5: q GAR code to get it. After you see the

362
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 5: two interviews, because right after the Ted Williams interview, I

363
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 5: interviewed Mike about that day, and so you have the

364
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 5: two interviews and then you have Ted Williams talking to him,

365
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 5: and it's very interesting. Mike gave me provision to use

366
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 5: that out of the Piazza family film file, and I

367
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 5: thought it was an outstanding part of the show of

368
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: the book.

369
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 4: Unbelievable, the brattth and the depth of all of this stuff.

370
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: The Ross Porter Chronicles Volume one, the Dodger years, and

371
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 4: I have to imagine Ross that. I mean, like the

372
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: NCAA tournament, this was really hard. They had to be

373
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: a lot of interviews on the bubble that didn't make

374
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: it in. How hard was it to make that decision?

375
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: And obviously Vince Scully's going in there. If you can

376
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: get Piazza's permission, you know that's going in there. But

377
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 4: I mean, how much stuff didn't go in there that

378
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 4: you got to do another one out?

379
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: Petro said, And that's a very good point you bring up,

380
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: because I didn't realize when I started this that I

381
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 5: needed to get permission from people to run the interviews

382
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: and to run any kind of film of them, and

383
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: that took a while. I mean when you have to

384
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 5: contact Sandy Kovax and say can I use this? And

385
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: he wait a few days and he writes back and says, yeah,

386
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 5: go ahead and use it. Same thing with Piat Say

387
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 5: and with others. It takes a while to put it

388
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 5: all together and then you do it. And what I

389
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 5: did was I just took all of the Dodger interviews

390
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 5: I had and said what would be the most interesting

391
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: one for the fans to read about. And that's how

392
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: I came up with the twenty four And Clayton Kershaw

393
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 5: was one of the last ones I did. And of

394
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: course he's the first time.

395
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: Hall of Favor, Yeah, no doubt. And you mentioned Kershaw Ross.

396
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: You know, we think about the greatest player of his air,

397
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: greatest picture of his era. And I was gonna ask

398
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: you because I grew up, you know, in the era

399
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: of this Week in baseball, and you get those great

400
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: interviews and you look forward to, you know, whatever star

401
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 2: they were going to sit down with that week, Ozzie Smith,

402
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Johnny Benshe, Steve Garvey, and it was always you felt

403
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: like it was very thoughtful. Does it feel like in

404
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: the age of these players who now control their own media.

405
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: That the art of the interview that they're just not

406
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: willing to kind of share the way they used to

407
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: share with you. You were their vehicle to kind of share

408
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: their personality with the fans.

409
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 5: That's right, buddy, and I never had anybody really give

410
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 5: any trouble about that. The only thing I remember one

411
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 5: time was I wanted to interview Jay Howell in New

412
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 5: York before a game. And Jay's a wonderful guy, and

413
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: he said, Ross, I want to tell you something. I

414
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 5: don't do pregame interviews because I think it'll just be

415
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: that night, so I can't give you they interviewed. That

416
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 5: was the only one I thought that was really out

417
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: of the way. But you're right, And you know, these

418
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 5: guys have become so good at doing interviews, and they

419
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 5: do so many of them that they're very polished about it.

420
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: You still get the guys that's say, well, I was thinking,

421
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 5: but you know you don't have many of those.

422
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: The Great Ross Porter with us. The book is called

423
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: The Ross Porter Chronicles. We got a copy here. It's fantastic.

424
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: You mentioned Sandy Kofax. I know you don't want to

425
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: put any interview ahead of any other, but obviously a

426
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: special place in Dodger fans hearts and arguably, you know,

427
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: one of the most interesting players in baseball history. Can

428
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: you share anything with the people, Just give them a

429
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: little taste of what they're going to get in the

430
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: book and then what they're gonna see.

431
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: And say, you wanted to talk about the fact that

432
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 5: what he pitched the ballparks were different than than they

433
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 5: are today, and he said, I like old ballparks. And

434
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 5: he then started talking about I asked you about the

435
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 5: fact that you know, you have long fingers and what

436
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 5: does that do for you as a pitcher? And he

437
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 5: talked about that, and he was very, very accurate as usual,

438
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: but it was good. And what I did, guys, was that,

439
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: you know, I devoted it all to the Dodgers in

440
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 5: the first one. We planned to have a second one

441
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 5: and I'm already working on that. I've got Johnny Bench,

442
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: I've got Eric Harris, I've got Jerry West, I've got

443
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: Tom Brokaw, I've got Willie Mays, Ernie Banks.

444
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: Wow.

445
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: And it just goes on and on, and I got

446
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 5: more to do.

447
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: Well. I would imagine that that's intertwined with your time

448
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: as a sports anchor here in La Ross if you

449
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: could maybe tell our younger audience about how you got

450
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 4: into the booth to call Dodger games for almost thirty years.

451
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: That's right, Petros, And what was happening. I was the

452
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: Channel four doing the sports six o'clock and eleven o'clock

453
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 5: news and very happy working with people like Tom Brokaw

454
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 5: and Tom Snyder and Kelly Langen and Brant Gumble and

455
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: Fred Claire said to me today that Tommy Lasori was

456
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 5: named manager and Walt Olson retired. He said, I want

457
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 5: to ask you a question. I said sure. He said,

458
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: then's going to go to CBS and do a lot

459
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: of work and we need a third announcer, and I just.

460
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: Wanted to ask you.

461
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: Do you have anybody who want to recommend? I took

462
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 5: either one or two seconds, and I said me. He

463
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 5: told my wife Lynn later I set him up because

464
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 5: I wanted him all along, and so he said I

465
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: needed an audition tape. I said, Fred, I haven't done

466
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: a baseball game since I was at Oh you twenty

467
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 5: years ago. Well, it was the last four days of

468
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 5: the nineteen seventy sixth season, and what had happened was

469
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 5: and the poverys were going to play a Dodger Stadium,

470
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 5: but they were both out of the race, so it

471
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 5: was Albuquerque versuses Hawaii. We worked it out. This is

472
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 5: a Wednesday, couldn't do it. Wednesday were soon late in

473
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: the day. Thursday was an off day.

474
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: Friday.

475
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 5: I had to catch a red eye that night to

476
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 5: Buffalo to do an NFL game on Sunday. But we

477
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 5: worked it out. That after I did the six o'clock

478
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 5: sports on Channel four in Burbank, I went over to

479
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 5: Dodger City with my tape recorder. They sneaked me in

480
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: the back of the press box, put me in a

481
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: dark room, and I was to do the audition tape.

482
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: My thought was, I'll do about a half an inning

483
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: to warm up, and then i'll back it up and

484
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 5: do it for good. Well it did the half ny

485
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 5: and I backed it up. I thought, you know, I

486
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: may be better, I might be worse. This is pretty representative.

487
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: So I took the tape, gave it to somebody, who

488
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: gave it to somebody else who gave it to Fred

489
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: and I was off and he said, when you get

490
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 5: back from Buffalo, called me Monday morning. So I called him.

491
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 5: He said, we like your tape. We're down to two tapes,

492
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 5: you and another guy. We're going to send the two

493
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: tapes after Vin Scully's home and let him listen because

494
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 5: he's going to make the ultimate choice.

495
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: So hours went by phone.

496
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: Rang Freend said they likes your tape because he said

497
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 5: it's closer to what he and Jerry Dugat are doing

498
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 5: than the other guy. So on a Wednesday, I was

499
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 5: thrilled the Channel of four. On Monday, I had a

500
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: new career.

501
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

502
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's it's an incredible story, Ross

503
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: and we're just sitting here with our mouths open listening

504
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: to you tell it. Can you tell us who the

505
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: other guy?

506
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: That's the way it went.

507
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 5: That's the way I went eight wonderful years and it

508
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 5: could not have been better. I was with the greatest

509
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 5: baseball announcer, I think, greatest sportscaster of all time. I

510
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 5: always said I thought he was the most popular man

511
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 5: in California. And the funny thing guys that one time

512
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: he was called to a and asked by a party

513
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 5: leader world of the political parties that they'd like to

514
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 5: have him run for governor. And he said, well, give

515
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 5: me twenty four hours to think about it. He told me,

516
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: I knew in two minutes I wasn't going to do it.

517
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: But I called him back the next day. I said,

518
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 5: thank you very much, but I'm very honored to be

519
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 5: a Dodger announcer. I'm going to.

520
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: Stay with it.

521
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 5: And then he said, what the guy didn't know was

522
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: I'm in the other political party.

523
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: Great Ross Porter and the Ross Porter Chronicles so fun.

524
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: Volume one is out.

525
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: Ross.

526
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 4: We got to ask you your perspective. You've been watching

527
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: the Dodgers in this modern time, went back to back

528
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: World Series, first time the franchise all the way back

529
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: to Brooklyn, and the Superbas have won back to back titles.

530
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: What do you make of this modern Dodger baseball era

531
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: and how much joy they're bringing to the southern California area.

532
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: Well, they really done it in a great way. That PetroSA,

533
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: They've the young guys. I really thought they were in

534
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 5: trouble this year when all of those pictures went down,

535
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 5: and I thought, you know, there's no way they can

536
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 5: get to the playoffs with all those guys down. They

537
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 5: can't count on the bullpen like they did last year. Well,

538
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: you know what happened. Those four starting pitchers gave up

539
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 5: nothing in a couple of those series and they got

540
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 5: to it and then I thought they were in trouble

541
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 5: where they had to win Game six and seven in Toronto,

542
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 5: but they just were able to be resilient and pull that.

543
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 5: To their credit, they did his good job.

544
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

545
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 5: Andrew Friedman, I've never met him, but I want to

546
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: say it on his behalf. After last year, he went

547
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 5: out and got the relief pictures that he thought he needed.

548
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 5: And because they got hurt and didn't do the job,

549
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 5: it's not his fault. I thought he did a good

550
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 5: job of preparing him.

551
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: Last one Ross and again, the book is fantastic. We

552
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: can't recommend enough the Ross Porter chronicles. You mentioned the

553
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: next volume is going to have the likes of Willie Mays,

554
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: Johnny Bench. You know what people are saying after these

555
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: last two World Series championships, show Tony and they've been

556
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: saying it for a while, the best player they've ever

557
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: seen play baseball, and we'll go down as the greatest

558
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: player to have ever played baseball. What he did in

559
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: the postseason with that one particular game against Milwaukee was

560
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 2: just ridiculous. How about you, who was maybe it's your

561
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 2: favorite or who you thought was the best player you

562
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: ever saw play baseball.

563
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 5: I really couldn't. I've been asked that a lot. And

564
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: what I have said is the best hitter I think

565
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 5: I ever saw was Tony Gwynn, because he won eight

566
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 5: National League batting titles. He had the great ability to

567
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: go the other way and get base hits, played with

568
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 5: one team for what twenty years now, I say that.

569
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 5: And on the other hand, I have to say this.

570
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 5: There was no interleague baseball in those days, so I

571
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: didn't see George Brett, and I didn't see good hitters

572
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: Wade Boggs like that of the other league. So that's

573
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: that's not fair to say. I guess. Pitching wise, I don't.

574
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

575
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: There were so many.

576
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: Good ones, so many good ones that would be hard

577
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 5: to say. Nolan Ryan has seven no hitters. I mean,

578
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 5: that's unbelievable. And the Dodgers had excellent pitching, as they

579
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 5: did so many years. So Vin told me the best

580
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 5: player he ever saw with Willie Mace and I didn't

581
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: get to see Willie h Well, I guess you know

582
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: I didn't. He was gone by the time I got

583
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 5: third seventy seven, The.

584

00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 4: If you're taking high end hooker money, though, it's got

636
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: to be a frontal Ross Porter headbutt. Just blast off Fred,

639
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 4: of people don't know this, but when Fred Rogan went gray,

640
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: Matt said something on the air like oh you going

641
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 4: gret Ah, and Fred got very upset, saying that he

642
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: screwed up the soft launch that Fred was launching his

643
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 4: gray hair on KNBC.

644
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: He was really upset, I believe he mf me and said,

645
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: you have no idea what went into this and how

646
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: this was supposed to roll out, and you've just ruined

647
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: it all. You've ruined it all and he stormed out

648
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: of the studio, and I was didn't you have like

649
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 2: a follow up where he told you like what they're Yeah,

650
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 2: well that's what he said. He didn't give me the details,

651
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: and he came back and explained to me that.

652
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 4: It was going to be a soft, slow, gray gray

653
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 4: on and then you ruined it on the radio.

654
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: Yes, because I would assume there's such a crossover audience

655
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: between our fusion, no doubt into his five o'clock news.

656
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 4: Why is it so offensive to be called a woman?

657
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 4: Draymond exactly right. Thought we were all in the same gang, right,

661
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 2: Calling me a woman.

662
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,800

Speaker 2: Mayor Sosa.

681
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,040

682
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: is not a lily, but is the official flower, not

683
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 4: a lily, of the city of Irvine. And this says,

684
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 4: my company's headquarters is in Irvine. I know several Egyptian

685
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:07,440

691
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: with all those trouser and eaters ha ha. We should

692
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 4: maybe do some more UC Irvine fanfare next time we're

693
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 4: in Irvine.

694
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

695
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 2: The basketball team, good baseball team.

696
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Petros, I have to text you. I have

697
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 4: no friends and I don't have Money's number. I tried

698
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 4: watching the Manning cast for a few minutes and it's unwatchable.

699
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: I mean, they're interviewing George W. I switched it over

700
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 4: and it was three people not knowing when to speak

701
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: or speaking at the same time. It's like when Chris

702
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 4: Farley was interviewing Paul McCartney on SNL Softball questions about sports.

703
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 4: Peyton is watching the game. What a dumb idea. Sorry

704
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 4: to bother you, I had to vent now. I did

705
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: not watch that, but I did see the clip where

706
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: they asked George W. Bush if his father pushed him

707
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 4: into becoming president or to get into the family business,

708
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: because Peyton and Eli, of course, you know, followed their

709
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 4: father's footsteps. And George W. Bush said no, if I

710
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 4: knew I was gonna follow my father's footsteps, I would

711
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 4: have behaved like much less of an idiot in college,

712
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: which I thought was a great, honest answer. And that's

713
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: all they're looking for. Just that one viral clip and

714
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: we'll be right back with more Petrosen money. We'll have

715
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 4: the fun fact and quick hits, and we'll get the

716
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 4: dead and a live guy. That is the Dodger Power

717
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: Hour on PMS. I hope you enjoyed it.
