1 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Who are the top five players of the twenty first century? 2 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Bron Kratz and top Father. Here will get lists from 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: the two former players. Krats, you get to go first. 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: Top five players in the two thousands. 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: Guys that played in the two thousands a little different, 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 2: the guys that were definitely the best the entire time. 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: Gotta start with Justin Verlander. I have a hard time 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: not putting a pitcher who won an MVP on the list. 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: I get it, sure Zer and him were close but 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: complete games. The fact that he did it at such 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: a dominant level. Justin Verlander. Number five Clayton Kershaw. In 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: my opinion, it's the best left handed pitcher I've ever seen. 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: He even declined with his velocity, and yet his numbers 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 2: stayed the same. People want to hate on different like 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: single pitches that he's thrown in the playoffs. Now he's 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: a three time World Series champion. Goes out on top. 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw, best picture of this center of the twenty 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: first century. Miggy Cabrera, a triple crown, A guy who 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: from the right side is the second best wait, no, 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: look at my list, third best hitter, but maybe the 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: most pure hitter. That's on this list. Obviously, when I 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: get to one, he's going to debate that. But Miguel 23 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: Cabrera could do some things playing against him that you 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: were just like, I get it, like this is not 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: that easy to hit, but he would do it and 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: he made it look that easy. Number two mine and 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: Todd's ex teammate, Mike Trout. What he was doing early 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: in his career was historical and it was kind of 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: ironic that he gets to play with the number one 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: player in the world in Shoheo Tani and he's gotten 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: to play. He got to play with the number one 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: player on my list in aberpool Host. But my Trout's 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: only downfall is that he has not had opportunities in 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I feel like this is a guy who 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: has gone out and was on pace to rewrite the 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: record books and still has an opportunity to have some 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: more years if he can figure out how to stay 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: on the field. And Number one, the best right handed 39 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: hitter that I ever played against, bar Nunn Albert pool Hosts. 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: What he was doing when he first got called up 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: made me question. 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: Is this guy really twenty or twenty one years old? 43 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: And then he played past his forties, he played and 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: hit at a level that if you look at his 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: first ten years, I don't know that we're going to 46 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: see a consistent level of three hundred thirty and one 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: hundred RBIs in consecutive seasons. I don't know that we'll 48 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: see that again because of how hard it is to 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: hit over three hundred and Albert pool host did it, 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: and I know everyone's gonna remember him in this age 51 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: about the Angels career, but when you go and look 52 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 2: at what he did with the Cardinals, it is nobody's 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: touched it in the twenty first century. Todd, I definitely 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: am excited to see your list, but I need I 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: need you to build me up and tell me how 56 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: good list is phenomenal. 57 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 4: I think it's it's a really really good list. I 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: think you put a lot of good heart and thought 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 4: into it. I have a couple that are on there, 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 4: but I also have you might be surprised a couple 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 4: that are not on your list. So if we can 62 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: go to my list first off, I and you're probably 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: gonna look at me funny, but yeah, well I'm gonna 64 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: start with number one because you know this is the 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: goat of all goats. He had five hundred and twenty 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: three saves from two thousand and one on the two 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: time World Series winner with one pitch guys, he threw 68 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: one pitch. It was a cutter that nobody can hit. Unfortunately, 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: and fortunately for me, I never got to face him. 70 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: I was up fifth to one inning and he threw 71 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: seven pitches broke two bats. So I was like, all, 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: at least I got to save my bat. But this guy, 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: when you talk about the best closer of all time, 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: the best one pitch pitcher of all time, Marinovera's number one, 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 4: Albert Polholtz, Like you said, I can go on and 76 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: on about him. At my number two, I mean one guy. 77 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 4: There was only a handful of guys that I was 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: afraid of. This guy was on the top of my list. 79 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 4: When I played third base, I would back up and 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: if he ever tried to bunt, I would give it 81 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: to him. He was just absolutely incredible. His work ethic, 82 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: you know how he held his bat up and down. 83 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: It just everything about him. Each Rosuzuki I thought would 84 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: have been on your list. This guy when you think 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: about the best Japanese ballplayer of all time, right now 86 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 4: to come over to America each Rosuzuki is on top 87 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: of that list. Left handed specialist. They said, this guy 88 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: can hit a home run on demand in batting practice 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: any time he wanted to. I would have loved to 90 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 4: see him do a home run derby or at least 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 4: face him. I thought that would be cool. You talked 92 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 4: about Miguel Cabrera, absolutely phenomenal. I remember my brother Charlie 93 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: play with him in rookie ball. I went down to Florida, 94 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: a real tall, but slender Migy Cabrera a getting after 95 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: playing shortstop. This guy hit the ball to all fields 96 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: a musty TV and yeah, Clayton Kershaw the best left 97 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 4: handed pitcher I've ever seen or ever hit against. You know, 98 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 4: I just can't wait to tell my son one day 99 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 4: as he gets older and understand that all these guys 100 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: are Hall of famers and I got to play against 101 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: a couple of them. So for me, ultimately, this is 102 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: my list, and I got the big male on top. 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: Wow, there you go. I like what both of you did. 104 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: I do have questions, and in order to ask those questions, 105 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to utilize a source. This is 106 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: a hotly debated topic in terms of who we're looking at. 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: And also keep in mind we're looking at twenty first century, 108 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: so what these players did in the nineties doesn't count. 109 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: And that's okay. I mean, for example, with Mo Todd 110 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: father he dominated really starting in nineteen ninety six, but 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: he dominated through the two thousands up until he retired 112 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: after the twenty thirteen season. So yes, you are docking 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: ninety six to ninety nine, but he still had a 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: long run. Let's show ESPN's top ten list when they 115 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: put this out, and I'll give you, maybe verbally a 116 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: little bit more. After that. They went Coohles one, Mike 117 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Trout two, Clayton Kershaw three, Miggy four each row five. 118 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds checks in at six. Again remembering that a 119 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: lot of his work was before the twenty first century 120 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: and a lot of it was after, so or I 121 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: guess less of that after. But still point is you 122 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: got to look at just from two thousand on Justin 123 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Verlanders seven, eight Rod eight, David Ortiz nine, Maxers are ten. 124 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: And for their list, they're just going off statistics. So 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: if you want to start playing the ped suspicion game, 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: they were not playing that. 127 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: Now. 128 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans that watch this show 129 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: and this channel are going to say, excuse me, show, Hey, 130 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: Kannie has been playing for a while at this point, 131 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: racking up MVP awards. Guys, how come he can't crack 132 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: your top five? Is he a guy that could crack 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: your top ten? He's fourteen on ESPN's list, and I 134 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of this just has to do with 135 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: him not compiling the same amount of statistics yet as 136 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: some of the others. I would have him in my 137 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: top five for the uniqueness, the pitching and the hitting, 138 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: the winning. He's got it all. And to me, it's 139 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: been long enough. Where would he be in your mind? 140 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Todd Father, he would be. 141 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: I think he's right where he needs to be right now. 142 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you. There were some guys 143 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: in the two thousands. I mean a Rod Barry Bonds 144 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: was on my list, Mike Trout was a close six 145 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 4: to seven range. Yeah, I think he's about there, a 146 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: little over the ten mark. And I think David Ortiz 147 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: I was thinking about a lot. I mean, how clutch 148 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 4: was that guy? So in due time he will definitely 149 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: be top five, if not, you know, top one or 150 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: two for sure. A Barry Bonds. I mean he what 151 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 4: he had. I mean, yeah, but it's again, it started 152 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 4: in two thousand. But yes, I think he's about exactly 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: where he should be right now. 154 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Okay, And they did have Marianna Rivera at thirteen. You'll 155 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: hear a little bit of pushback Todd father, because you 156 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: went with someone who's not playing every day and he's 157 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: a closer. I'm with you, he's by far the best 158 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: closer of all time. What would be your pushback to 159 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: someone that says, how are you not picking a position 160 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: player like a pool holes or a trout or somebody 161 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: that can do it all on an everyday basis, not pitch, 162 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: but do it all in terms of contributing to the 163 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: lineup and playing every day. 164 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: And listen, I could have easily flip flopped the hitter 165 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 4: in there too. I thought about this when I thought 166 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: about the numbers. I thought about as I said before, 167 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 4: he did it with one pitch, and he got everybody 168 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: out with that one pitch. You know, he had two 169 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: World Series, so did pool hosts. It just every time 170 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: this guy and his music came on, you knew the 171 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 4: game was over? Did you know it was? The game 172 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: was over? When Pulholes is up in the bottom of 173 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: the ninth. No, not all the time. Yeah, you would 174 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 4: most likely think he's gonna do something. Bonds everybody else 175 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: you could think of was the game pretty much ninety 176 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 4: five percent. I don't know the exact statistic, but it's 177 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 4: got to be eighty to ninety in that range game over. 178 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 4: You can't say that about any other person. So that's 179 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: why one pitch and how dominant he was lights that 180 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: that was my decision. 181 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: Hey Kratz, where's Otani for you? Since you've been I 182 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: would say a huge proponent of him basically racking up 183 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: any award possible. Right, we have the famous Otani versus 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: a Kunya overall Player of the Year from several years back, 185 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: where you're like, how do you go against shoh and 186 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: he continues to get overlooked sometimes when the players are 187 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 1: voting and those players choice the word votes when they 188 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: picked Kyle Schorber this past season over show Aotani. But 189 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: how come Otani doesn't crack your list versus Trout As 190 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: we speak right now, I'm trying to pull up the 191 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: season by season comparison for them, because clearly Otani is 192 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: doing things that we have never seen before. So is 193 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: he just not giving you enough length yet? Because it's 194 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: not like Mike Trout had this super long peak we're 195 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: going to look back and say Hall of Fame, Locke, 196 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: but it did tail off. So for Trout, you're really 197 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: looking at twenty twelve through twenty nineteen, right, that's the peak. 198 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two was pretty solid too, So if you 199 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: want to count, what is that eight seasons or so? 200 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Showy Otani as of when we're doing this is about 201 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: to enter his ninth season. So the body of works 202 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: getting there, man. 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 2: It is, but it's more recent. And I have show Hey. 204 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 2: I had show Hey at nine. No chance David Ortiz. 205 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: Is up there. 206 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: Sorry, there's just no don't. I also don't have show 207 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: Hey above a rod Or Bonds. Bonds won second place 208 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: in the MVP in two thousand and then he went 209 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: two thousand and one to two three and four, he 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 2: was MVP, and so yeah, I have I have those 211 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: guys above him. And today, I know this might get 212 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: some controversy, but Shoelo Town, he's not a Hall of 213 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: Famer today. If he never plays another game, he's not 214 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. 215 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: That's so wrong Wright, because he doesn't hit the number. 216 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: I think the winds above replacement number. But a lot 217 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: of stat nerds go off these days. I want to 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: say it's like fifty ish and Otani is at thirty 219 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: five point four, although I got to make sure I'm looking. Oh, 220 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the batting side side. 221 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: Statistically impossible, shoe halo Tony doesn't play another game. He 222 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: falls short because you need ten years of service time. 223 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 2: So that's why I say he's not a Hall of 224 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: Famer yet do. 225 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: You need one? Regardless? So if you're the best player 226 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: on the planet for nine years, you can't make the 227 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. 228 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: Unless they change the rules. 229 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 4: I sure didn't know that. I didn't know that. 230 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 2: Wow, I wouldn't I wouldn't push all in on that. 231 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 2: But that's what I was doing. 232 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: Well, well, he does, Todd Filer give him thirty seconds 233 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: of crap so I can look it up. 234 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: Listen, sho Otani is a Hall of Famer right now. 235 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 4: He is truly remarkable. He's the best hitter in our 236 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 4: generation besides Barry Bonds. As I've said this before, Barry 237 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: was the best show. Hey, he's a pitcher, he's a 238 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: hitter coming off surgeries and coming out and still dominate 239 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: and finding ways to get m vps a couple time 240 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: World Series champ Ah. I don't know anybody in their 241 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: right mind right now, take the rules out of it, 242 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: that wouldn't take him as a Hall of Famer right now. 243 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's right as far as the quick 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: AI check us, but I'm not that that is not 245 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: the eligibility for this list. So I go very much 246 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: against you both show hey would be. 247 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: I didn't say he wasn't. 248 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: I didn't say, but he's not in either of your 249 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: top five. But top fathers telling me how he's one 250 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: of the best players he's seen, and then you're saying 251 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: he's amazing and he should be winning Player of the 252 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: Year for anything anytime he can. And yet neither of 253 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: you can put him in the top five because he's 254 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: only played for seven or eight seasons. 255 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: And he's really only had twenty one to twenty five 256 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: of dominance. Now, the fact that he pitched during that 257 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: entire time, he was getting his feet wet and he 258 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: was impressive to watch. But when you talk about the 259 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: fact that what those guys did that are on my list, 260 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: I think I have him above him. Like, right now, 261 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: he's Bonds. He tied Bonds with the same MVPs. He 262 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,479 Speaker 2: tied Barry Bonds, the greatest hitter of all time in MVPs. 263 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: At this point he's tied. So today I have him 264 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: still in my top ten, not. 265 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 4: My Scout or five Scootera. To finish it off, it's 266 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 4: ten seasons, not ten years. It says ten seasons. Okay, 267 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: so I still have I had eleven seasons. It's a joke. 268 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: But seriously, no, you're right there. You just got up here, 269 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: gotta up here, right, I mean, hey, Trout's not putting 270 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: together monster numbers anymore, but you're looking back at the 271 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: career and of course he's played more than ten years 272 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: at this point. Anyway, just slice and dice, do what 273 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: you want with this or having fun. Comment below on 274 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: what you're watching, who we missed, and how you would 275 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: rank your list. We love you and we'll keep doing 276 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: this if you like it, nice and simple. Top five 277 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: stadiums of all time? AJ lay out your list. 278 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: I mean, if we're going all time, we're going baseball 279 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: obviously for me. And if I have them going Wrigglelyfield, 280 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 5: why now I have to I have to understand you 281 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 5: have to I have to kind of quantify or I 282 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 5: don't know, qualify this a little bit. 283 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: Wrigley Field before they redid. 284 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 5: It with the scoreboards and all that, because it was 285 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 5: just a cool place to go in Chicago. Plus, say, 286 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 5: budde the hell out of me, and I love going 287 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 5: there every time and breaking their hearts. 288 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: So number five for me is Wrigley Field. Number four for. 289 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 5: Me is whatever the heck they call San Francisco's Park now, 290 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: just because it's a beautiful view. 291 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: I love playing there. It's one of the best ballparks. 292 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 5: Once you're in the ball field and you're on the 293 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 5: field and you look out and you see the water. 294 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 5: Plus I got to see Barry Bonce at six hundred 295 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 5: and sixty homers. Barry Bonce hit seven home runs, seven 296 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 5: hundred home runs. And also Greg Maddox got just three 297 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 5: hundred to win there against US, and I was the 298 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 5: last hitter. I got a hit and they took him 299 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 5: out of the game. We didn't score and we lost. 300 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 5: So yes, I've seen some special moments there for me. 301 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 5: Then number three for me is Safego Slash t Mobile 302 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 5: Park out in Seattle. Why I loved hitting there I 303 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 5: love going to Seattle, and I got my first big 304 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 5: league homer there, and it's where Phil Hummer through a 305 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 5: perfect game and I got to catch it. So there's 306 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 5: special memories for me in Seattle, and it's where I 307 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 5: kind of felt like I became a big. 308 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: Leader when I hit my first time run. 309 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 5: Number two for me, you best cellular field now called 310 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 5: Rate Field, Why because I played there for eight years. 311 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 5: It was my longest ten your home stadium. We won 312 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 5: a World Series there, we want playoff games there, and 313 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 5: it was always just a great place to go. And 314 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 5: then last, but not least for me, Number one is 315 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 5: Old Yankee Stadium. I don't even have to explain why 316 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 5: Old Yankee Stadium was the best, just because it was 317 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 5: Old Yankee Stadium and every great player almost of all 318 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 5: time got to step foot on there. 319 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: It had the best atmosphere. 320 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 5: I was fortunate enough to play playoff games there, one 321 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 5: of the coolest places you just walked around. 322 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: You felt historic just stepping in the batter's box. 323 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 5: And plus when I got to play there, I mean 324 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: they had Jeter and Bernie and the Core four and 325 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 5: you're facing Mariano within her sammn so just an awesome place. 326 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 5: And by the way, honorable mentioned Metronome. Why was my 327 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 5: first home stadium in the big leagues. I know it 328 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 5: wasn't iconic, but it was just a cool place to 329 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 5: say you got to play. 330 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: So those are my five. If you don't like them, 331 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: I don't care. Those are my five. 332 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: You don't like him, I don't care. 333 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: I love them. 334 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: I love talking about stadiums like aj Aj didn't even 335 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: get He probably talked twenty minutes on why each stadium 336 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: and stories and all that stuff. But like when he 337 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: was mentioning his stadiums, they're not on my list, but 338 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: I get like chills on my neck because even as 339 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 2: a kid going to these stadiums, going to different stadiums, 340 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: it's like imprinted in my brain when you walk into 341 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: a stadium and you like, look out over the field. 342 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: I grew up going to Vet the Vet Veterans Stadium 343 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: in Philly, probably one of the biggest dumps when you 344 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: talk to players of all time. 345 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 3: But walking in and seeing that. 346 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 2: Just burnt bright green turf, the astro turf, it's almost yellow, 347 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: like it just it's imprinted on my mind and something 348 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: about stadiums like I love it. So I don't really 349 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: care what anybody's list is. Your list is your list, 350 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: and there's like nostalgic reasons for all of them. So 351 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm on board with AJ's. 352 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: List, okay, and you crafts are also actually real quick. 353 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: I'll just throw this in there. I love I don't 354 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: know if it's number one for me, but it's high up. 355 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: I two went to Yankee Stadium and I went to 356 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: crappy che Stadium lot both growing up. Yankee Stadium was 357 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: special and it was almost an impossible task for them 358 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: to replicate, and they didn't. They could not replicate it 359 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: almost by any means. It was just so no. 360 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 3: Crutz, no, no, they can't. They can't. But how can you? 361 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: How can you? 362 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: How can you replicate the fact that the upper deck 363 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: was like this steep like it like there's so many 364 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: things that couldn't be replicated safety wise, but also like, 365 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: why do I want to go to a new stadium 366 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: that has the uncomfortablenesses of an old stadium? So, I mean, 367 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: that's true, they tried, but it's just a different atmosphere. 368 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: That's fair. You got to make it bougie for the 369 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: New York crowd. So what's your list? 370 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: My list, and I don't know that this is necessarily 371 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: the order, and they're all different reasons, but I'll start 372 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: with five. I think on my list five is Camden Yards. 373 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: Just yep, the fact, the fact that Camden Yards is 374 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: like kind of like the fourth front of new stadiums 375 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: that came in, and how they've kept it, the way 376 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: that they have something about the whole atmosphere everything there. 377 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 2: I love it, and I got I gotta look back 378 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 2: to see what my number four is here so that 379 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 2: I don't mess it up. Coughton Stadium, you gave it 380 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: to I pick Kaufman because I think it's one of 381 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: the most underrated. You look at it, You're like, eh, 382 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: you know what, it's not nothing crazy, But I mean 383 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: we made two World Series runs when I was there, 384 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: like it was and I got cut halfway through the 385 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: second season when we finally won it. But something about 386 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: that stadium in a playoff atmosphere will always have a 387 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: place in my heart. And I was gonna put I 388 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: was gonna put Miller Park there now American Family Financial 389 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: Field or something, but that's a dome and that's a 390 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: whole another list for me. So number three Fenway Park. 391 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 2: I've never been at Fenway whether the Red Sox are 392 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: in a playoff hunt. I've been there for a wild 393 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: card game. I've been there during COVID when there's no fans. 394 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 2: I've been there when the Red Sox are not in 395 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: the playoff hunt and the team stinks. There's an energy 396 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: in that park that hasn't for me, hasn't been duplicated 397 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: in any stadium. And I've heard the fans crazy, and 398 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: I've heard them booing and hating their team, like it's 399 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: just something about that, like small, quaint feel. It's not 400 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: there's no upper deck. It's for me, there's something. There's 401 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: something really really cool about that place, Citizens Bank Park, 402 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: kind of like AJ and Seattle first ever big league 403 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: homer and the fact that you know, that was my 404 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: opportunity to be in the big leagues and I got 405 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: an opportunity. 406 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 3: I had been in the big leagues the year. 407 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: Before with the Pirates, but it was something that you know, 408 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: wasn't really much of an opportunity. I finally got an 409 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: opportunity with Philly, and I grew up a Phillies fan, 410 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 2: but I grew up a veteran stadium Phillies fan. So 411 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: to play at citizens. I just think you know the 412 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: atmosphere there in the playoffs that we were at, the 413 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: atmosphere in the fact that you know you're a local 414 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 2: kid playing for the team that you grew up watching. 415 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: Always that stadium will always have a place in my heart. 416 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: And p and C Park. P and C Park is 417 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: not just my debut, yes, but I've seen thirty thousand 418 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: people in those stands. I've seen three to four thousand 419 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: people in those stands, and just everything about it, the ambiance, 420 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: the place where it sets right next to the river 421 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: when it's freezing, when it's hot. Something about being there 422 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 2: just gives so much energy to me as a player. 423 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: And I've had awesome moments there. I've had some pretty 424 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: crappy moments if you look at my stats, but just 425 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: something about where you make your big league debut. And 426 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing anybody would argue with 427 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 2: me that there's a better like visual esthetic field than 428 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 2: PNC Park. 429 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: That's a good call for number one. Is there aha 430 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: a better visually asthetic pretty field? 431 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 5: I mean, the only one that it comes close is 432 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 5: San Francisco as far as looking out across when you're 433 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 5: sitting there and you can see the water and all that. 434 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: Other than that, PNC Philly's pretty good too. 435 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 5: People don't realize from Philly from the from the press box, 436 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 5: you can see downtown Philly a lot, you know. So 437 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 5: there's there's there's certain ones that have different fields depending 438 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 5: on where you're sitting, and some of them actually the 439 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 5: higher up you go, the better views, you believe it 440 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 5: or not get So, yeah, PNC's up there, San Frans 441 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 5: up there, Philly's up there. As far as views, after that, 442 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 5: you know, you kind of start running. I mean, like 443 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 5: I said, Wrigley was great until they put those scoreboards in. 444 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 5: You can see all the drunk people out there on 445 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 5: the buildings. But uh yeah, those are probably the top three. 446 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: Do you guys want to see the list? Not my list? 447 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: The list top ten? 448 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: It rotten Tomato is. 449 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: It's rotten tomatoes. And every park is the bestest, Every 450 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: park is ninety nine point nine percent. But here it 451 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: is from Fox Sports, and I'll read it too because 452 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: I know there's podcast crowd listening, Citizens Bank ten, Corsfield nine, 453 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: I love Coursefield, Peco Park eight also a great one. 454 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: We talked about Yankee Stadium. That's seven. Six is PNC 455 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: Park we talked about Oracle Park or whatever you call it. 456 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: In San Francisco at five four is Camden Yards Love 457 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: three Dodger Stadium to Wrigley Field and one Fenway Park. 458 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Hey you guys, well, I guess say here's the Dame five. 459 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: You didn't go Camden. You didn't want Camden in there. 460 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: To me, that's probably to me, that's the best, like 461 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: nostalgia kind of old maybe for me growing up. I 462 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: went to the park when it first opened and then 463 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: still feels like it hits in. 464 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 5: Terms, still has the same stuff in Sidastic. It looks 465 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 5: exactly the same scott as it did. The clubhouses and 466 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 5: everything are exactly the same. 467 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 3: I mean it's sometimes you have to ring. 468 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 5: I know, but I but we rate them differently. As 469 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 5: a player, I rate things differently in how they were. 470 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 5: I mean, I listen, I played in old Tiger Stadium right, 471 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 5: like how places iconic as oh. I played an old 472 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 5: County stadium in Milwaukee. I played in Joe Robbie right 473 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 5: in Miami. I played in I mean where else? I mean, 474 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 5: where else. 475 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 3: Did I play? I played the King Doome right, I 476 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: played in the Vet Right. 477 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 5: These places were cool, but they didn't have the History 478 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 5: of a of a Yankee. 479 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 3: Yes, Fenway is cool. 480 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: I I didn't enjoy Fenway, but I didn't do well there, 481 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 5: so I didn't really you know, it wasn't one of 482 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 5: those places where I had great memories of other than 483 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 5: the time we beat them in the playoffs. 484 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: Other than that I didn't have. 485 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 5: I didn't do very well in Fenway, So it's not 486 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 5: like I look back. I always look back at the 487 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 5: places I did well. Those are the ones you enjoyed. 488 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: Montreal. Did you play in Montreal and. 489 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: I played in Puerto Rico? Does that count?

I mean, there's some listen. The old stadiums 542 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 5: were terrible. The vet crowds mentioned. Milwaukee County Stadium was 543 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: the clubhouse was smaller than Wriggly old Wrigley, I mean 544 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 5: Tiger Stadium, old Tiger Stadium because stand up in the dugout, 545 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 5: because the only Ken Rosenthal could stand up because the 546 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 5: dugout was about this high.

I just felt like they had an opportunity 553 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: to put a stadium on the river cool, like you know, 554 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 2: you can kind of see downtown the other way not 555 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 2: looking out through the stadium.
