I've never called in a 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.160 sports show before, but I have. Everybody likes to show 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.680 their greatest baseball memory. There was no sports in my family, 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:15.000 and I found baseball back in nineteen eighty and I 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.680 listened to Hank Greenwald and Mike Cruco, and I was 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.600 heartbroken after all those years of learning about baseball from 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.840 that wonderful man, Hank Greenwald, And when I already was 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.919 going to retire, I just about gave up. And one 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.600 night I was working in a kitchen and I went 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.320 over and I made a phone call to the Giants 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.400 and I said, can I leave a message for Hank Greenwald? 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.240 And this lady says, Hey, what do you want to say? 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.080 I said, well, I just need to tell him that 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.600 I've been on a radio broadcaster before. He made a 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.519 huge difference in my life presenting baseball to me, and 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.200 I would really love to come in and visit him 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.480 in the booth before I before he goes. And she said, okay, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.160 I'll give him a message and I hung up. My 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.519 wife goes, you do that helmets. Thanks God, why do 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.400 you do that? And I said, well, this is me. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.800 And the next night I'm in the kitchen working in 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.000 the phone rings and my wife answers it and she 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:11.560 says it's for you, and I said, who is it. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.760 She says it's Hank Greenwald. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.080 Wow. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.520 And so I said, hey, could I come in just 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.040 sit on one game with you. I told him a 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.320 little bit about myself, and he said, yeah, just tell 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.079 me the game you want to come to. So I 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.120 knew that he and Mike both enjoyed cigars. So I 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.919 went out and bought a fifth full of nice cigars. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.560 And I went and I went into the booth and 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:37.680 Lee j was the Yeah. So I got to see 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.640 all with these guys, and and then I bring out 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.920 this handful of cigars and I said, I brought these 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.640 for you guys. And Mike turns around and goes, Hank 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.560 only smokes Dunhills, And I go, oh, okay, Mike's I've 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:55.080 got huge. He goes, I'll take them. So I had 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.880 a pretty amazing That's that is my baseball story, and 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.520 I'll never forget it as long as I live. 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.480 Steve, that's a great story, man. Yeah, I mean do 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.000 that's that's just hit the right. It's it's really that's 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.720 what it's about. And you said you've done some broadcasting. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.440 We're in broadcasting in the past. Like the fact that 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.120 in your your your wife heard you do that and 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.760 she's like, well, you're crazy, that's nuts. And most of 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.680 the time we do stuff like that and we think, ah, whatever, 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.320 maybe I'll hear back, maybe I won't. But really, to me, Steve, 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.000 it's about the connection you felt, because with baseball, we 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.160 let these guys into our lives seemingly every day, and 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.479 I feel that's a responsibility we carry even on this 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.800 show a little bit. But it's that's a true connection. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.800 That that's the tell of a great broadcaster. That you 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.960 even felt you could reach out and connect that way, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.839 I think is the magic of what this thing is. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.560 Yeah, like I said, it affected me because I know 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.480 he wouldn't have called back if it didn't touch him. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.719 Way to hang out with those guys for a game 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.279 was a uh, you know, a treat that anybody in 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.520 baseball would like to have if you like you guys 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.240 have been saying about those those people that have meant 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.560 so much and you know, hey, not sure and cancer 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.680 with this. But we're sure you're creating some memories and 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:04.520 we're making a difference to one another, and for some reason, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.640 that's the entertainment of sports. Is I'm just a baseball fan. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.280 I don't do other sports. Yeah, like I said, those 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.400 sports in my family. But that was what I found 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.560 by accident, and I'll never give it up. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.279 Well, I'm glad you did, Steve, and I appreciate the 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.240 call man. Thanks so much about that. I mean, seriously, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.159 that's what that is. A guy who has never called 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.920 a sports radiatorship before said, I got to tell a 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.880 story about my Kirk. That's what That's what that means. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.599 That's what that's about. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.599 And that's an amazing story. That's a great story. I 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.560 love that. No, I mean I hear stories all the time. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.359 You to play the high schools like prison, but it 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:32.960 is a good story. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.160 No, I like that, But no, like I hear that 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:35.680 all the time. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.320 Like, uh, you know broadcasters that got their start is 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.240 you know, being inspired by my father, Like you know, 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.000 I think I forgot the name of the guy. But 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.760 he used to be the play by play voice of 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.040 the Chargers back in the day. He used to be 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.719 the voice of the used to be the voice of 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.400 the New York Mets, and he met my dad when 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.120 he was twelve years old and he was so inspired 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.279 that he became a broadcaster. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.560 And those stories, uh from my coaching trade day exactly. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.599 I found him my disciple. Yeah, he's from my staff. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.720 Real cool. I'll tell one more story about Kruco behind 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:02.000 the scenes. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.880 So we're in Colorado and Dave Fleming this is early 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.320 in his career and he got a bloody nose during 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.719 a game in Colorado. Yep, so he calls the game 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.320 with a piece of toilet paper in his nose the 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:15.840 entire time. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.400 Now he's not on TV, so no one cares. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.360 And then when they do the rap, it's John Miller's 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.920 Dave Fleming, it's Kruco. Actually, maybe John Van Miller wasn't 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.520 there because. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.599 It was probably it was probably Dwayne Greg Dwayne, Papa 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.160 Flem and Krug. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:30.440 Yeah. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.080 Yeah, so of course those guys would raz Flem all 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.159 the time, early in his career. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.920 And they come in and I was never forget this 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.560 Cruco going.

Thanks so much, and 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.920 there's so many Yeah, eliminad me Kruk. We talked about 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.320 gamer Babe. We talked about as Patty's just said, dropped round, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.520 hogged out, maybe maybe his last Great's that's where you're like, dude, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:19.640 Kirk still got the fastball. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:20.440 Oh yeah, you know what I mean. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.520 That's really like And I gotta tell you, like brod like, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.600 just like in anything, I think broadcasters can lose a step. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.600 I don't think Kirk's lost a step. No, I don't 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:29.480 think Kirk has at all. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.120 I think Kirk's been honest a game, and as difficult 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.480 as it's been, I'm sure for him, because that's the 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.920 thing is crooks. He grew up in big league clubhouses, right. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.560 He was a minor leaguer who went to a couple 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.560 of different teams, the Cubs first and the Phillies. Then 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.800 he ends up coming to the Giants and winning twenty 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.040 games with the Giants. And one of my other favorite 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.520 moments is is in two thousand and two, I remember 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.680 listening to the postgame rap after they won the pennant 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.520 and Kruko, I just remember this. He told a story, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.880 and I remember it said, because now it is like this, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.800 this series will end or whatever, and teams will like 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.439 fly out that night, or you know, you lose a 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.560 series and you just leave, just go, Kruk said when 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.080 they lost the pennant the Giants in nineteen eighty seven 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.160 to the Cardinals, he said they stayed in Saint Louis 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.400 that night, and he said it was miserable. He said, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.280 they drove around all night around the team hotel, celebrating, honking, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.160 making sure we knew the Cardinals were going to the 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.200 World Series. And he said in two thousand and two, 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.920 and the Giants wanted, he said, I want you to 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.560 pay that back tonight if you're in San Francisco, you 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.680 drive around, you honk, you make sure that the Saint 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.960 Louis Cardinals who are here and lost the pennant, that 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.320 they know we want payback for nineteen eighty seven. 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.120 And that was one where I'm like, this guy knows, 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.600 he gets it. He feels what we as fans are feeling. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.240 And that's something that was always uniquely special to me 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.400 and something I really don't think he ever lost. And 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.040 so as hard as it's been, I'm sure for him 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.320 to not get to travel to all these ballparks, to 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.680 have to sometimes call these games from a booth where 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.560 he's not sitting next to his partner in Dwayne Kuiper 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.200 and still do the job that he does, it's it's incredible, 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.080 It really is what he's been able to do, and 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.280 I commend him for it. I thank him for it 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.920 because he did it for you know, I don't know, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.360 I don't know exactly how difficult that is, but it's 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:57.840 not the same way he was calling games for a 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.200 long time. So I'm I'm appreciative that he's done for 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.800 as long as he has in the way that he has. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.800 No absolutely, and I think that fans have a connection 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.280 to the local broadcasters, you know, like for me doing 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.960 this radio show, I know we're on locally, but I 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:09.760 don't want to be a homer win anything because I'm 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.200 not a fan of these teams. But when you want 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.720 to play by play guy or an analyst for a team, 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.600 then yeah, you got to be a homer. I think 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.480 that people love that. That's why they want to hear 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.240 their guys during the postseason. Like Bob Costas when he 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.200 came on with us, he was talking about I think 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.920 Apple TV gives you the option to listen to the 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.800 radio call if you have it on your TV, but 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.000 he's doing Sunday Night Baseball now and he wants there 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.680 to be an option in all broadcasts where it's on 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.960 streaming that you can do that because fans want to 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:36.760 hear the emotion. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.520 They want to hear that. And yeah, I mean also 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.320 to Bob Costas. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.120 I remember him being coming on with us and saying 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.240 like he doesn't want to do play by a play 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.520 anymore because he thinks he lost his step a little bit, 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.080 which is crazy to me. But my Kruco has been 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.720 unbelievable in the all thirty six years. He's thirty six 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.600 seasons he's done played by our analyst sports Yeah, Virgiants Baseball. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.320 He's he's been unbelievable. And there's only one person I 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.360 want to hear when it's a weekend after a series 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.760 and he's on with Murphy Marcus and giving the breakdown, 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.320 and you know he's captivating even when the team gets 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.320 swept or whatever happens. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.720 You want to hear from Kruco. So now we'll miss him. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.320 We'll miss him, and he'll be on tomorrow. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.160 No, not tomorrow, not tomorrow. So next week, Monday, Monday, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.280 he'll be on with Murph and Marcus seven thirty a 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.240 Monday morning. Anyway, came to ours, I'm going to call 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.720
