1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back too.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Is this a great game or what with the Hall

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: of Famer Tim Kirkchen, I'm his son, Jeff Kirkchen, and

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: dad hall of Fame is upon us. I mean, all

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Star has happened. Now we're looking at a Hall of

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Fame weekend. This is so exciting.

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to Cooperstown.

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Are those the greatest words you could ever say?

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 3: My favorite place in the world to go? It is.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: The whole town is just ludicrously charming. The whole weekend

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: is just such an amazing celebration of baseball. I told you,

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 3: Jeff a few years ago. I went there and I

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: was walking to an event and there's just a guy

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: on the street, but you know, wants people to sign autographs.

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: And I just casually met him and said, so, where

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: are you from? He goes, I'm from San Diego. I

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: drove here. So he drove from San Diego to Cooperstown

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: and was standing on a street corner in case somebody

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: walked by, player walked by, that could sign. It's just

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: the best place in the world. It's bustling, you can't

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: find a place to park, but the food is great,

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: the atmosphere is great. And it's a shared love of baseball.

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: So we'll get more about Cooperstown as we have several

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: items today about Cooperstown because it's this weekend, and then

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: on Monday's episode we will wrap up. You know, what

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: the speeches were like and all the people I got

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: to see at Cooperstown. It's the best. It's so so good. Right,

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: But first, Jeff, we have to solve the mystery from

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: last week. Shannon sent in a team tim and it

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: was a great one. The best longest hitting streak at

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: each position. So you know, Benito Santiago the catcher had

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: a thirty Forard and we've got DiMaggio and Rose and

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: we Willie Keeler last two had forty four game hitting streaks. Well, well,

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: it turns out Shannon Harrison is a guy, and he

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: wrote me a very fun email saying, all right, this

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: happens all the time with me, but I'm a guy

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: and I'm going to a stratamatic tournament in Dallas this weekend.

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: So yes, he said, him and seven friends of his

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: are going to a stratumatic tournament. That's incredible. Is that

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: great or what? Jeff? But we love that game. We

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: talk about it all the time. But the number of

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: people that loved that game at the same level that

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: I do, or did when I used to play all

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: the time is just it's really really cool.

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, our friends at Stratamatic.

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: It helped us with so many strat simulations and stuff

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: like that. We still tap into them from time to time.

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: We absolutely love Stratamatic. They're incredible. So to Shannon, kudos,

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: good luck at the tournament. Thank you for the great team. Tim,

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Dad and I just have a small thing I want

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: to celebrate before we I want to do a Hall

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: of Fame moment for the soon to be inductees this weekend.

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: But I have completed the playground in my backyard. Three

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: stories from Costco, three slides, three swings.

55
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: And it is up. And I did it.

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: I built it on my own with my wife's assistance.

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: All throughout that people say it couldn't be done. People

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: say it was the worst decision they'd ever made when

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: they had to build theirs. As I say, I've done

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: it once, I'm glad I did. I will never do

61
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: it again.

62
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: Never do it again. Jeff again, I'm so proud of you.

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: You're so much better than most people are at this

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: and poor pop up wouldn't even have a chance. I

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: couldn't even get through the directions, the instructions, and so

66
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: you were lifting really heavy things, and were you digging

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: stuff into the ground and stuff like that.

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: No, I mean this thing came in boxes, so it

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: was every little piece of the playground had to be

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: put together. So yes, it was heavy at time, sure,

71
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: but the real challenge was just every screw, every nut,

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: every bolt had to go into that thing be screwed

73
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: in properly.

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: It was a ton of work.

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: Dad, my wife and I Emily, we tracked the amount

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: of working hours we both put in. How many hours

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: do you think it took us working hours? So this

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: isn't like it took us three days, So it's seventy

79
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: two no working hours?

80
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: How long.

81
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: Twenty two working hours?

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty close. It's pretty close nineteen.

83
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: Nineteen working hours. And it's well worth it because McKinley

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: Hope is going to love it and when body gets

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: old enough, he's going to love it too, right.

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: And it was at Costco for eight hundred dollars, originally

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: on sale for thirteen hundred dollars because they just wanted

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: to get it off the darn floor and it was

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: too heavy for them to get off they needed to set.

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: So we got it at like a huge discount. And

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm too prideful as a man to ask for hell,

93
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: it's one of my many flaws. And I was like, well,

94
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: I saved a bunch of money on the deal. I

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: could hire somebody to help me. Nope, I had to

96
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: do it on my own, and it's done.

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm so happy, Jeh.

98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: I would have paid the thirteen hundred, then I would

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: have hired someone to get a crane and pick it up,

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: fully assembled, and just bring it over to my house

101
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: and drop it in the backyard. That's how bad I

102
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: am at these things. I'm very proud of you, jof

103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: thanks you stuck with it when I would have given up.

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: In the first page of it of instructions.

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you thought those garage racks you were trying

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: to help me hang up were hard, I wish you

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: could have seen the amount. One hundred and twenty eight steps,

108
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty eight different steps to get through.

109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: It was crazy, but we did it. That we got through.

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: Well, good for you, Jeff, really proud of you.

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: All right, So Dad, let's talk a little Hall of Fame.

112
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: We've got three inductees going into Cooper Sound this weekend.

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you.

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 3: Well, first off, we're gonna mention the media members. Joe

115
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: Buck won the Ford Frick Award and he's going in

116
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: in the Broadcast wing and makes you wonder how long

117
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: it took Joe Buck to get in. I think this

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: was the first time he was nominated, which is amazing

119
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: to me. And he was a guest on our podcast

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: this year, as you remember, Jeff, and he was hysterically

121
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: funny but also just so insightful growing up as the

122
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: son of Hall of Famer Jack Buck. So they're the

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: first father son ever to be inducted in the broadcast

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: wing of the Hall of Fame. So good luck to Joe.

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: Can't wait to hear his speech, and I'm sure he's

126
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: going to crush it because his dad was the greatest

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: after dinner speaker apparently in the history of after dinner speakers,

128
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: and Joe Buck is not far behind his dad. So

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: that's really good and even more important to me as

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: writer Hoyns of Cleveland in Cleveland won the Writers Award.

131
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: Hoinsey's been doing this job covering the Indians for you know,

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: forty five years maybe more. He's been a down and

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: dirty beat guy. And that is a compliment. I mean,

134
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: he's not some TV guy on the side. He's just

135
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: covering the team. And every time I've been to Cleveland

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: over the last forty six years to do anything, Hoysey

137
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: is always right there. So congratulations to him. He will

138
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: be honored on Saturday, as will Joe Buck and then

139
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: the real ones come. The real ones. I say that

140
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: you know nothing against, but that's what we're there for

141
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: to see the players beat. Right, they are inducted, the

142
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: writer and the broadcaster are honored. There's a difference there, okay,

143
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: But we'll start with Carlos Beltron, who was one of

144
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: the best players that I've ever seen as far as

145
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: all round players go. He made nine All Star teams,

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: he won three goal gloves, he won the Rookie of

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: the Year, Jeff. He had, you know, fifteen hundred runs, scored,

148
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred RBIs, and three hundred stole more than three

149
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: hundred stolen bases, one of only nine players ever to

150
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: do that. But the separator for Beltron for me, Jeff,

151
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: is he played sixty five postseason games and had an

152
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: OPS of one point zero two one. He was one

153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: of the greatest postseason players I've ever seen, And in

154
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: that series when he just dominated with the Astros, I

155
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: just kept thinking, switch hitting center fielder with power and

156
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: speed and great defense. This is what it must have

157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: been like to watch Mickey Mantle in his prime in

158
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: the fifties. That's how good Carlos Beltron was.

159
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

160
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: Definitely honored this Sunday. It's going to be a special weekend.

161
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: But he's not going in as the only player.

162
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: No, no, no, right, he's not going as the only

163
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: center fielder either, because Andrew Jones is going in. He

164
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: won ten goal Gloves, he made five All Star teams,

165
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: and Jeff he hit four hundred and thirty four homers

166
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: and won ten Gold Gloves. So this is the list

167
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: of players who hit that many homers and won that

168
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: many Gold gloves. Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Junior, Mike Schmidt,

169
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: Andrew Jones. That's it. That's the list. And even though

170
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: his career ended a little earlier than it probably should have,

171
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 3: it also started way earlier than most people remember. He

172
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: hit two home runs in the nineteen ninety six World

173
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: Series in one game as a nineteen year old playing

174
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: at Yankee Stadium. But most important, Jeff, when you start

175
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: looking at the greatest defensive center fielders of all time,

176
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: and this is very subjective, but Willie Mays is the

177
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: best I've ever seen. And Andrew Jones is the second

178
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 3: best I've ever seen. And years ago at Sports Illustrated,

179
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 3: I had to do. I wrote a story on the

180
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: most difficult play for each position, Like you know, the

181
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: charging the bunt, bear handing it for a third baseman,

182
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: throwing a across your body, that's the toughest play. And

183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: for a center fielder like Andrew Jones, the question is

184
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: to me, is the ball that has hit directly over

185
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: your head and you gotta go get it? So I

186
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: started checking around on who was the best we'd ever

187
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: seen it that and I was with the Podres, and

188
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: I started with Ken Griffy Junior. A couple of the

189
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: Podres like looked at me like, Ken Griffy Junior was

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: unbelievably good. But on the ball hit over your head, nobody,

191
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: nobody was better than Andrew Jones. He played such an

192
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: amazingly shallow center field, but he just had an innate

193
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: gift on where that ball's going to end up, even

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: when he loses track of it when it goes over

195
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 3: his head. That is a real gift and a real skill,

196
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: and very very few center fielders I've ever seen had

197
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: that agreed.

198
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: Agreed an incredible defensive center fielder. But every time I

199
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: think about that ball over your shoulder, I think of

200
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: Willie Mays, that video of him in centerfield over his back.

201
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, incredible.

202
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: Right, fifty right? That was the fifty four World Series,

203
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: vic words, And again it was at the polo ground,

204
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: so there was so much room to run. So Bob Feller,

205
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: the Great Bob Feller, who we seem to quote almost

206
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: every week, he told me once it wasn't that great

207
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: of a catch. It wasn't that great. He had so

208
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: much room to run. As soon as it was hit,

209
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: we all knew he was going to catch it. Which well,

210
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: we all knew he was gonna catch it because Willie

211
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: Mays is running after it. So to repeat, Willie's the

212
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: greatest defensive centerfielder I've ever seen, and Andrew Jones is second.

213
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: So when you're the second best defensive player, least in

214
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: my mind at a certain position, and you hit four

215
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four homers and you played for a

216
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: lot of winning teams. That's enough to get you into

217
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame.

218
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: And then, last, but certainly not least, your favorite person

219
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 2: named Jeff of all time will be in the Hall

220
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: of Fame.

221
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on, right? Can I third favorite? Because

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: your dad's also Jeff? So me your dad? And then

223
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Jeff Kent right, who was a.

224
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: Member of the All four by four team. He was

225
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: our second baseman. Jeff. Remember four letters in the first name,

226
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: four letters in the last. Look. He got in on

227
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: a special committee ballot, which it doesn't matter to me.

228
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: You're in the Hall of Fame and he's going in

229
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: and he should. He He was an MVP, made four

230
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: All Star teams. But most important, he had three hundred

231
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: and fifty four home runs as the second baseman. That's

232
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: the most home runs ever hit as the second baseman.

233
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: He had a total of three hundred and seventy seven

234
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 3: with three point fifty four as the second baseman, and

235
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: he drove in fourteen hundred and three runs Jeff. The

236
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: only second baseman have more than that was Charlie Garringer.

237
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer with fourteen twenty seven, and Jeff Kent

238
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: was a slightly better defensive player than people gave him

239
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: credit for. So yeah, people look and say, well, he

240
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: wasn't a great defender, and you know, he wasn't the

241
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: friendliest guy in the world. First up, he doesn't care

242
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: about that. He cared about winning, and he showed up

243
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: ready to tear your throat out every day. And that's

244
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: what Jeff Kent did. And with all those power numbers

245
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: at a defensive position like that, good enough for the

246
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame for me, agreed.

247
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,080

267
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: All right, dad, let's jump into the takeaways.

268
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, others. So, speaking of great third basemen and guys

269
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: with great numbers, Nolan Arenado of the Diamondbacks just got

270
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: his two thousand hit, So he's got two thousand hits,

271
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty five homers, and ten gold gloves.

272
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: So the list of those guys to have two thousand hits,

273
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty homers, ten gold gloves, Ken Griffy Junior,

274
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: Willie Mays, Mike Schmidt, Johnny bench, Al k Line and

275
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: now Nolan Aernato pretty impressive. Like Andrew Jones, for instance,

276
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: didn't get two thousand hits he came really close. So

277
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: when you get that many, you hit that many homers

278
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: and you play that kind of defense. Just another reminder,

279
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: Nolan Aernauto someday likely will be in the Hall of Fame.

280
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: And it's so interesting that we have two other third basemen,

281
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Manny Machado and Jose Ramirez, who are climbing up these lists. Also,

282
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: so fewer third basemen in the Hall of Fame than

283
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: any other position, and you know, maybe in the next

284
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: ten to fifteen years we're going to have three more

285
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: of them, and Aeronauto's got a real shot to be

286
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: one of them. All right. Jacob Mazerowski pitched four innings

287
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: the other night as they ease him back into the

288
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: rotation to make sure that he doesn't get hurt. And

289
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: they because they're going to the playoffs and they're going

290
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: to be a dangerous team in October. But the best

291
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: way to do that is to have their a's throwing

292
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: one hundred and four miles an hour in October, so

293
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: they're being extra cautious with him. But Gus Ramsey, our

294
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: dear friend from ESPN, who you know exceptionally well, he

295
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: pointed out that in nineteen starts this year, Jacob Mizerowski,

296
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: and not one of those nineteen starts allowed more hits

297
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: in the start than he had strikeouts. Think about that

298
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: for a second. He has allowed JEF sixty one hits

299
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: this year and struck out one hundred and seventy three,

300
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: so it's not quite three times as many strikeouts as hits.

301
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: But that is really hard to do. And he's a

302
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: and we're going to talk a little bit later about

303
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: another guy, the hardest pitcher to hit in major league history,

304
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: but Miserowski nineteen straight starts and every one of them

305
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: he had more strikeouts or as many strikeouts as he

306
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: had hits allowed in that game. Does that impress you, Jeff?

307
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: Nothing fails to impress me when it comes to the

308
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: miz because he's that good, he's that electric, he's that

309
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: fun to watch.

310
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: Right and again, he throws one hundred and four and

311
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: he throws a lot of strikes. To command it like that,

312
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: you have to swing at it because it's going to

313
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: be in the strike zone and he just throws too

314
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: hard to hit it. I mean, that's how good he's been,

315
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: all right, Jeff. We're getting close to the trade deadline

316
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: at this moment. At this taping here on Wednesday, the

317
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: Twins had lost four games in a row, and if

318
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: they fall out of the Pennant race the trade deadline

319
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: August third, they may be moving pitchers or players. And

320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan remains, even though he was an All Star

321
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: this year, a really valuable guy for the Twins, but

322
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: may bring a lot in return because we don't see

323
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: a whole lot of really good starting pitchers out there.

324
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: But Joe Ryan the other night, Jeff, and he's really good,

325
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. He gave up six homers in

326
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 3: one game to the Guardian. Six homers, so that ties

327
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: a major League record for most home runs given up

328
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: in one game. Eleven others have done that. But so

329
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan didn't exactly make a case for, Hey, go

330
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 3: trade for me. I'll help you down the stretch. But

331
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: that was just one start. If the Twins move him,

332
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: he's really gonna help some Tea and Jeff I hesitate

333
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: to bring this up because we can't follow exactly what

334
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: happened on Wednesday because of deadlines and everything else. But

335
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: the Red Sox, Jeff, were thirty two and forty six

336
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: at one point this year, and we know at this

337
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: taping they won fourteen in a row. They won nineteen

338
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: out of twenty one, so they went thirty two and

339
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 3: forty six, and now they've gone through Tuesday nineteen and two.

340
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: Is that amazing or what listen? Right?

341
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: When you started to count them out? They turned things around.

342
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Obviously they parted ways with Alex Kora. This has just

343
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: been like such.

344
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: A whirlwind of a year for Boston fans.

345
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: I'm actually wearing my Fenway Park T shirt on the

346
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: podcast today.

347
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Because I'm such a fan of the game.

348
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: And we went to Boston in the fall and we

349
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: didn't get to see the Socks play. We did get

350
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: to see them setting up for the Jonas Brothers concert

351
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: at Fenway Park while we were taking.

352
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: A tour of it. And I mean, dad, if I if.

353
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: I toured Wrigley, I'd get a Wriggly Field shirt. I

354
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: had somebody ask me to work today, why you're wearing

355
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: a Fenway Park shirt? Because I work in Philly, so

356
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: you know they hate everybody else who are Philly fans.

357
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: And I said, it's Fenway Park for goodness sake.

358
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: It's like it's like wearing a National monument on your shirt, right,

359
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: It's that important.

360
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field is the same way.

361
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: So it's like stealing him, right, do you know what

362
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 3: movie that's from?

363
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: Oh he's pointing at Abe Lincoln. You can't do that.

364
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: It's like taking him.

365
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Oh, great movie, I need to do. You know what, Dad?

366
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: We need to do a rewatch of that and then

367
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: go toward the spots. I'm sure there's a National Treasure tour.

368
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: We have an unhealthy obsession with this movie. I don't

369
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: know what it is, but it's a great movie, right right.

370
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: It's a it's a I love that movie. All right. Okay,

371
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: Now what do we got next?

372
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 5: Yep?

373
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: The quirk Gin's Dad, what do you have for us?

374
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: All right? I'm going to start with this. Really shouldn't

375
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: be a quirt Gin should be a takeaway. But Jeff,

376
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: you saw how the Phillies game ended on Tuesday night? Correct?

377
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: I played the fifth I do not want to talk

378
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: about it.

379
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: Okay, now, Jeff, I'm gonna talk about it. Second and third,

380
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: one out, one out, down by one run to the Dodgers. Okay,

381
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: Second and third, no force in play? Okay, Brandon marsh

382
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 3: It's a slow groundball to third. You know, Justin Crawford

383
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: is running on contact, he goes home, they get him

384
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: in a rundown, and then j t royal Muto, who

385
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: was almost at third base, decides to run back to

386
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: second and gets tagged out. So it's one of the

387
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: worst game ending double plays I know I've ever seen.

388
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: And you know we're not hot taking and bashing people

389
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 3: on this podcast. It's just not what we do. But

390
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: I've told you one hundred times yet the base running

391
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 3: in the major leagues is the worst I've ever seen it.

392
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: And it doesn't follow. If the players are bigger, stronger,

393
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: and faster than ever and probably better than ever, then

394
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: they should run the bases better than ever, and they don't.

395
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: But the point of this is the double play. This

396
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: is the courtchain went five to six' four to end a.

397
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: Game so the last time a one run game ended

398
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: in a double play in which there were at least

399
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: three assists on the play was in twenty, seventeen so

400
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: that was almost ten years. Ago, jeff that any game

401
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: ended quite like, that that you can two runners can

402
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: make it out on the bases with no force in,

403
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: play and just another, reminder that is about as bad

404
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: a way as you can end a one run game in,

405
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 3: baseball did. You, Sorry, jeff you don't have to talk about,

406
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: it but you saw it.

407
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: Right, Devastating and you know, what the first THING i

408
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: thought about was you and this darn podcast and you

409
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: looking up who how.

410
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: Many people touched the ball and?

411
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: Won the last time it happened was the only Time

412
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: i've minorly dreaded recording with, you knowing we were gonna

413
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: have to talk about that miserable.

414
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: Ending they're playing The dodgers at. Home this could be

415
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: AN nlcs. Preview, sorry My philly fandom is. SHOWING i, apologize,

Speaker 3: Right, So, jeff we talk a lot About Luisa rise

419
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: because he's so different than everyone else in the major

420
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: leagues with strikeout rate where it, is and all he

421
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 3: does is get hits and not. Strikeout so the other

422
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: day he struck out twice in a. Game it was

423
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: his first multi strikeout game Since july third of twenty twenty.

424
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: Four SO i.

425

00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: No, Yeah so he went over two years in this

427
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: strikeout environment without striking out two or more times in a.

428
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: Game and during that, Time James, wood who we, love

00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: the first week of the, season AND i would still

443
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: be impressed if he hadn't had one Since.

444
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,920

461
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,639

709
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: Jeff with our pitcher whose last name starts WITH, r

00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: a tremendous issue with, this but there is an, issue

712
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 3: and we'll get to that in a. Minute But Nolan

713
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: ryan is the greatest power pitcher. Ever he's the hardest

714
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: pitcher to hit In Major league, History. Jeff for his,

715
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: career which is over five thousand, innings he averaged six

716
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: point six hits per nine innings during his, career and

717
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 3: he pitched for twenty five. Years that is a record

718
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: of for anyone who's pitched that you, know anywhere close

719
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: to that many innings to have that kind of hit

720
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: per nine inning. Rate and no one could get a

721
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: hit off Of Nolan, ryan AS i told, you and

722
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,640

724
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: of my. Favorites but they Asked Rance mallinicks of The Blue,

725
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: jays you, know forty years, ago what would it be

726
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: like if everyone in the world was Like Nolan. Ryan

727
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 3: and he, said everyone would love each other and no

728
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: one would get a. Hit that's how Good Nolan ryan.

729
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: Was and he, Again, jeff he led the league in

730
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 3: strikeouts eleven different. Times he struck out eight hundred and

731
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: thirty nine more batters than the next guy on the,

732
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: List Randy. Johnson and he threw baseball basically as hard

733
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 3: as any man alive for a twenty five year. Period

734
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: there was nobody quite like. Him he had a bionic,

735
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: army had those big old, legs he had a perfect,

736
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 3: delivery and he was a. Nightmare BUT i chose, Him,

737
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 3: Jeff and this is worth mentioning BECAUSE i think it's.

738
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: Debatable BUT i Picked Nolan. Ryan But Mariano rivera is

739
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: also on that. List, Okay And Mariano rivera is the

740
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: greatest closer of all. Time there is not a closed.

741
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: Second AND i think the gap between him and second

742
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 3: best at his, position closer has been a position since

743
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty. Nine that gap is as wide as almost

744
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: any gap in position in baseball. History so do you

745
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: THINK i did the right thing Taking Nolan ryan Over Marianno.

746
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 3: RIVERA i, Mean i'm gonna get people In New york.

747
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: ANGRY i, means, yeah but, unanimous the only, right, Right.

748
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: Jeff first, Off i'm not a big war. Guy But

749
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 3: Nolan ryan's war was eighty one point three And nolan

750
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 3: r And Marianna rivera's war was fifty six point, three

751
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: so that's a pretty big. Gap but this is HOW

752
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: i have to look at this Jet Nolan ryan through five,

753
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: thousand three hundred and eighty six innings And Mariano rivera

754
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 3: and this is not a, criticism please through twelve hundred

755
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 3: and eighty three, innings so he threw basically four thousand

756
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: more innings Than Marianna revere and that bulk innings is

757
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 3: WHY i have to select. Him, now you could tell,

758
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 3: Me jeff If i'm wrong, here and, LISTENERS i get.

759
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: IT i thought this was difficult because of the greatness

760
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 3: Of Marianna. Riverta But i'm sticking With Nolan. Ryan DID

761
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: i do the right? Thing?

762
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: JEFF i think you.

763
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: Did And i'm not a big war guy, either but

764
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 2: IF i were to pick, ONE i Think i'd picked.

765
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: The, first.

766
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: Right, well, yeah, yeah very, Good. Jeff but and the

767
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,200

Speaker 1: American but you know it's close.

769
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: Enough so the other REASON i did it just for
