I'm not sure I've ever seen a more wacky, remarkable, 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: noteworthy first week of a baseball season than what we saw. 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 3: All sorts of bizarre, crazy things happen.

So he 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: so you know you can use your own DH. Adam 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: Dunn is the DH on our team? All right? So Jeff, 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: I want to see how much you were paying attention 28 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: from the first week. Okay, Remember we had to tape 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: on Monday afternoon because it's a two man show here 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: and we don't have enough man power to be doing 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: stuff until midnight and releasing at twelve oh one because 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: you're the only technical advisor, producer and director that we have. 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: Well, even if we had a staff of one hundred, 34 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: I still wake up at three point thirty in the 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: morning to do morning radio country music Morning show in 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Philadelphia on ninety two five XCU, and the show gets 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: played in Boston on Country one oh two five in 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas on one of seven nine Kyoti Country. 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: So I need to go to bed at some point. 40 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, just like today, we might miss some Thursday 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: action because we're doing this kind of during the games 42 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday. But you know, we do the very best 43 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: we can to stay updated. But did something happen on Monday? 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: Now, if you were reading the box scores, there was 45 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 3: one player that stood out on Monday, and I think 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 3: he is the highlight of the rest of the week. 47 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: And I will give you a huge hint. Okay, this 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: is a relationship show, This is personal so this guy 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: is my favorite player in the game today, even though 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: he's not my favorite. I don't have favorite players, I 51 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: don't have favorite teams. I'm not rooting for anyone. But 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: this guy's name alone makes him my pseudo favorite player 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: in the game. And he had a remarkable day. And 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: I'll give you one more clue, Jeb he did it 55 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: in a place that we were talking about on Monday 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: with Dallas Braden. 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah. 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: So we had Dallas Braiden on the show earlier this week. 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: He's a broadcaster for the Athletics, and you have to 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: be talking about Carson Kelly, who hit for the cycle 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: for the Chicago Cubs. 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: I am so proud of you. You're actually watching. They 63 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: said in Ghostbusters, you've never studied, Jeff, you're studying. I 64 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: appreciate it so well. And he also went Kelly to 65 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: our listeners. 66 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: Well, okay, first of all, it's four to four. He 67 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: went four for four, hit for the cycle, had two 68 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: walks as well, So good on him. He in the 69 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: first ever game played for the Athletics. 70 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: In their new temporary home. 71 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: But the reason why Carson Kelly is important to our 72 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: show is because your grandson's name is Carson, and his 73 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: mom's name is Kelly, your daughter, my. 74 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: Sister, So, so my firstny has Carson. Firstborn child is 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: named Kelly. My firstborn grandchild is named Carson. So Carson 76 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: Kelly hit for the cycle. First player ever to hit 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: for the cycle in the month of March, seventeenth catcher 78 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: to hit for the cycle. Fourth number nine hitter to 79 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: hit for the cycle. And let's test you one more time, Jeff, 80 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: Let's see if the studying continues. One more time. Give 81 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: me four guys who never hit for the cycle. Four 82 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: guys who didn't do what Carson Kelly just did. 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: You've got Willie May, Barry By, Yes, hank eras. 84 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: And it's Babe. 85 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: Ruth, Babe Ruth. I thought he did everything. 86 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: It is what team is he on, Babe Ruth? 87 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: For of course he's on the All four by fourteen, 88 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: which we're going to be getting to. 89 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: I have to stand correct. Did I do have a 90 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 3: favorite player in baseball? And I am not hiding this. 91 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: He's been up and down in the big leagues. His 92 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: name is Blake Sable. Blake Sabol. Now, let's see if 93 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: you can remember, as I quiz you for a third 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: time in the first five minutes. What is what differentiates 95 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: Blake Sable from anybody else? And you know how much 96 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: I love Jez, I'm giving it away. How much I 97 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: love anagrams? 98 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: Oh does his name go into baseball or something like that? 99 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 3: Blake Sable has the word baseball in his name when 100 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: it's an anagram, so you can either say okay baseball 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 3: or baseball okay when you use Blake Sable's name, Dad. 102 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: The things that keep you going throughout the day I love. 103 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: It's like when my daughter gets a new toy. I'm like, 104 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: this is so look how excited she is. It might 105 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: not excite me, but seeing her excited gets me excited. 106 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: And that's the way I feel about your antecroth. 107 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: Yep. Again, these were things that I was doing when 108 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: I was seven years old, and I'm now sixty eight 109 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: years old and I'm still doing them and I'm not 110 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: apologizing for him because they make me happy and baseball 111 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: should make you happy. And that's what we do on 112 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: this show. Hopefully we make people happy. We make them smile, 113 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: and we make them laugh and they learn something while 114 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: they listen to our podcast. 115 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Before we get to the takeaways, Dad, I want to 116 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: do a quick announcement and this is kind of down 117 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: the realm of poor pop pop really fast.

With one 153 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: full week of Major League Baseball regular season under the 154 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: belt held you have, there are. 155 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: A million ways to go, but the low hanging fruit 156 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: is the only place to start. The Dodgers through Wednesday. Now, okay, 157 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: we're not going to update through Thursday night. We don't 158 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 3: have time. The Dodgers are eight and oh so this 159 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 3: is the best start ever for a defending world champion, 160 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: and it's not just that they've won eight in a row. 161 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: It's the way they have won. Look at wednesday Nights game. 162 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: They win, you know, way behind the Braves early five, 163 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: nothing after two, come back and beat the Braves six 164 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: to five on a walk off homer of course by 165 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: Shohei Otani. We've been talking about this, Jeff for three weeks. 166 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: The Dodgers are one of the deepest teams I've ever seen. 167 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: And even though they're in a division right now with 168 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: the Podres and the Giants. So this is the first 169 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: division since divisional play began in nineteen sixty nine where 170 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: this many games into a season a Division one division 171 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: has twenty five victories and no more than seven losses 172 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: as an entire division. That's how good the Padres have been. 173 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 3: That's how good the Giants have been. And even even 174 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: the Rockies have won a couple games. So this is 175 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: the point with the Dodgers, how great they are. The 176 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: depth in their starting rotation is preposterous. The depth in 177 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: their everyday lineup is the same. And show hey now, 178 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: speaking of the Rockies, the Rockies have scored ten runs 179 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: this year. Sho Hay has scored eleven by himself, so 180 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: he has outscored the Rockies. The Astros have scored twelve 181 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: runs this year. They've been they go to the LCS 182 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 3: every year, and they've only scored one more run than 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: Sho he O Tani and the Braves have only scored 184 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: fourteen runs. And they're supposed to be a great offensive team. 185 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: Of course they're not because of all their injuries. But 186 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: it just shows you how dominant Sho Hay has been. 187 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: But the entire team, Tommy, Edmund, Moky, bets everybody. It's 188 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: really just been breathtaking to watch that. Everyone was wondering 189 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: how great is this team gonna be, and under that 190 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 3: kind of pressure they're eight No. 191 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: Incredible, Yeah, and you know, talk about the Braves. I've 192 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: brought some stats to the table, Dad. No team has 193 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: ever made the playoffs in Major League Baseball history after 194 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: starting with seven straight losses, no team ever. 195 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: They are the thirtieth team ever to start out zero 196 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: to seven, and none of those thirty has ever made 197 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: the playoffs. 198 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: And even only fourteen teams in the history of Major 199 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: League Baseball have ever made the playoffs after losing four 200 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: or more games to start the season. So think about 201 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: how many years we've been playing the game. 202 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: Right, it's incredible. And along that line, don't ever forget Jef. 203 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: I covered the nineteen eighty eight Orioles and they lost 204 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: twenty one games in a row to start the season. 205 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 3: So you look again, that team was terrible and the 206 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: Braves are good. But the Braves would have to lose 207 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: fourteen more consecutive games to start the season to match 208 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: what the Orioles did in nineteen eighty eight. 209 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: How do you even write for that team, though? Dad? 210 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: Like, at what point did you write a lead that 211 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: was like when will this end? Like? 212 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: I wrote that multiple times. After game number fourteen in Milwaukee, 213 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: Scott McGregor, one of the pitchers, one of the great 214 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: guys ever, said, why are all these national media with 215 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: us every day? I said, Scottie, just win a Gabe 216 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: and they're all going to go home. And I told 217 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: you the story, Jeff. After lost number eighteen, Frank Robinson, 218 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: the manager, took all the writers out to dinner. I'm 219 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: going to tell you again. Halfway through dinner, I said 220 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: to Frank, has anyone called, you know, to give you 221 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: any support during this streak? And he goes, yeah, the 222 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: President called me today. Now, Frank was a big Kidder. 223 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: So I challenged him three times on this and he said, 224 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: damn it. The President of the United States called me today. 225 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: I said, Frank, what did he say? He said, Frank, 226 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: I know what you're going through. And Frank said, mister President, 227 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: you got no idea what I'm going through. That's how 228 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: bad oh and twenty one was. And the Braves who 229 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: are going to go home to start their home schedule, 230 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: are going to go home oh and seven having gotten 231 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: pounded by the Dodgers and pounded by the Podres. 232 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: Well, you'll be happy to know, Dad that neither do 233 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: the Padres or the Dodgers or the Braves play on Thursday, 234 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: April third, with this releasing on Friday, April fourth, so 235 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: we won't miss anything. 236 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: Right. First, I got to tell you about the Padres 237 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: real quickly. They are seven and oh and the one 238 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 3: thing to keep in mind about the Podres a they 239 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 3: have really good starting pitching. Their bullpen is breathtaking when 240 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: it's going really well. The most important thing, though, they 241 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 3: are not afraid of the Dodgers. They have gone toe 242 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 3: to toe with the Dodgers in that division and multiple 243 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: times in the playoffs in recent years, so I'm not 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: suggesting for a second that they're better than the Dodgers, 245 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: are going to beat the Dodgers, but they are not 246 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: intimidated by the Dodgers. That those are my three takeaways. 247 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: The Dodgers, the Padres, and the Braves pretty easy given 248 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 3: that two teams are undefeated and one team is winless. 249 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say, though, I'm a little disappointed. 250 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule right now. We won't see 251 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: the Dodgers meet the Padres until June the ninth. 252 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: That's that's incredible, But Jeff, this is what happens when 253 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: you're not playing your division nineteen times a year, only 254 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: you know, ten times a year, twelve times a year, 255 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: whatever it is. So keep that in mind. 256 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: All Right, we got the quirk chins for is this 257 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: a great game or what? What do you have dat 258 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: for the. 259 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: Last few days to pick from? Normally I have a week, 260 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: but now we're going every two weeks, so it's a challenge. Well, 261 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 3: first off, Rafael Dever's got a hit finally. Okay, he 262 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: was over nineteen, Jeff with fifteen strikeouts, then he extended 263 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: it to oh for twenty one, and then he finally 264 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: got a hit. So we said last week, through four games, 265 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: he had twelve strikeouts, a record, and that was as 266 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: many as Yogi Bearra had in the nineteen fifty season. 267 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 3: Then he through five games he had fifteen strikeouts, which 268 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: is the most ever in the first five games of 269 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: any season. Tony Gwynn had fifteen strikeouts in the nineteen 270 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: ninety five season. The entire season, Jeb over five hundred 271 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: at bats. I mean, that's just so I bring up 272 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: this point because Raphael Devers is an elite Major league hitter. 273 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: He is on a Hall of Fame track, and it 274 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: just shows you again how difficult this game is to 275 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: play when the best players in the game. Granted, he's 276 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: had some elbow issues and he didn't have a complete 277 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: spring training, so their excuses involved, but it just shows 278 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: you again how hard this game is to play. Okay, 279 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: speaking of which, Juhanio Suarez of the Diamondbacks, his first 280 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: five hits this year, Jeff, have been home runs, so 281 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: he doesn't have any other hits other than a home run. 282 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: Rob Deer's first five in nineteen ninety two were home runs, 283 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: and Rudolfo Castro in twenty twenty one his first five 284 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: hits were homers. So no one's ever gone their first 285 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: six hits in a season were all homers. So Eugenio 286 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: Suarez has a chance to do that. And Jeff, he 287 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: has all the vowels in his when you combine his 288 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: first and last name. I love that, although as we know, 289 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: Nelson Figueroa and Ed Figueroa, they had all of their vowels, 290 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: all vwels in their last name. Think about that for 291 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 3: a second. 292 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: I know this is where you live right now. Five homers. 293 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: He as of Thursday, leads the league with the most 294 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: home runs and zero other hits. 295 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: As of Jeff. This is how the game is played today. 296 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: Eugenio Suarez and so many other big power hitters are told, 297 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: we don't need you to hit a line drive single 298 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: to right field. We want you to hit it in 299 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: the stand somewhere. So he's just doing what he's been 300 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: asked to do. Okay. On Opening Day, the home opener 301 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 3: for the Orioles, they grounded into three double plays, Jeff. 302 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: And that's only significant because last year they grounded into 303 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 3: seventy one double plays the whole season, and that was 304 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 3: the fewest gidps in a full season of any team 305 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: in Major league history. And if you don't think that matters, 306 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: just remember, Jeff, what a downer it is when you 307 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: got a rally going and a guy grounds into a 308 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: double play. They set the record last year and they 309 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: already got three in their home opener. I don't know 310 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 3: if that's a sign of anything. And I always remember, Jeff, 311 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 3: a GIDP is different than a hitting into a double 312 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: play because you could line out into a double play. 313 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: GIDP is a separate category where you hit a groundball 314 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 3: and it results in a double play. 315 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: That it's actually something I didn't now like from a 316 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: scoring aspect. 317 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 3: It really it's important that you know this, Jeff. It's 318 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: just I just need to clarify the difference between gidps 319 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: and whatever else. And last thing, Jeff, I got such 320 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: a kick out of this. I'm not sure why, but 321 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: Jack Lighter of the Rangers pitch. He's made two starts 322 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: this year and has pitched really well. And he's the son, 323 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: of course, of Al Lighter and Jack Lighter's I'm getting 324 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 3: to the point. Jack Lighter's grandmother was born in England 325 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 3: and still has a British accent to this day. And 326 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 3: your grandmother, Nana was born in England, and she had 327 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: a British accent until she died at age ninety six. 328 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 3: How cool is that? 329 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: It was definitely cool. 330 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: But I have to and I would never talk badly, 331 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: especially of somebody who's passed. But in the days she 332 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: lived with us, she would sometime sometimes pull out these 333 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: ridiculous words when I would play scrabble with her, claiming 334 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: that they were in like a British slang term. 335 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, no, there's no words that have an 336 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 2: X and a Z next to each other. And she said, yes, 337 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: there is. 338 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: Yes, they're all right, there's seventy four points. And of 339 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: course she's my elder. 340 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: You know, my elder. I'm not gonna tell her. Nos, 341 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: I put it down. I lose by one hundred and 342 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 2: ninety points in scrabble. 343 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 3: Well we like going to get away Fiftiana was one 344 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 3: of the great scrabble players ever. But when you're playing 345 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: scrabble at ninety four, uh, we're gonna get We're gonna 346 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: give a little leeway there. So and last thing about 347 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 3: Jack Lighter, So this one I got a kick out 348 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 3: of them. I'm watching the game on TV and one 349 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 3: of the camera guys at bank in Cincinnati that day 350 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: was named Jack Lighter. So Jack Lighter is the camera 351 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: guy and Jack Lighter is the pitcher. I'm not sure 352 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: we've ever seen anything quite like that. 353 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: Dad, This is a part of the show that's really important. 354 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: So if you're driving right now. 355 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: Or mowing your lawn or whatever, listen careful because we 356 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: want you listening to the show to be a part 357 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: of the show with our I Am a seam Head 358 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: segment that we brought to the podcast this season. 359 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 2: And the point of this is is, you know, Dad, 360 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: we got so. 361 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: Many amazing messages last year, whether it was on our 362 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: website or on social media, of. 363 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: People sharing hilarious things of what makes them big fans 364 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: of this game. So you came up with the great 365 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 2: idea of letting. 366 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: Them send us a voice memo, a message, an audio 367 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: message that we can play on the podcast explaining why 368 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: they are a seam head. Right, And so it would 369 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: sound something like this, I am Jeff Kirkshen, and I'm 370 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: a seamhead because I collected every single rookie card from 371 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: cal Ripken Junior's rookie year and I have them displayed 372 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: above my bed. I'm Jeff Kirkchhen and I am a 373 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: seam head, right Like those kind of things are things 374 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: you can recall and remember. And Dad, you've tapped into 375 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: some of your baseball friends to provide us the first 376 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: couple seam heads. But listen, if you're part of the 377 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: family of is this a great game or what we 378 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: need you and your messages of why you're a seam head. 379 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: So you can reach out to me email Jeff at 380 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: great game or what dot com, or you can just 381 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: go to great game or what dot com and submit 382 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: it there, reach out ask how can I send this? 383 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: And I'll reach out to you personally in order to. 384 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: Get that message your dad, We have a special one 385 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: today from a friend of yours. 386 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 3: Yes, and this is Jeff Bennett. He is probably the 387 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: greatest researcher in the history of ESPN, which is really 388 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: saying something. Since Mark Simon, who did I am a 389 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 3: seam head? Sarah Langs, Who's gonna do imam a seam head? 390 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 3: This time it's Jeff Bennett. And let's take a listen 391 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: to this because this is incredible. 392 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 4: Now, I'm not artistic or musically inclined, so it's possibly 393 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: my greatest talent is my recall fronts and backs of 394 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: baseball cards, my sweet spot being tops from about nineteen 395 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: eighty two to eighty five. So some examples these are 396 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 4: their primary cards, not super veteran or inaction or all 397 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 4: star cards. We'll say nineteen a two Steve Garvey posing 398 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 4: with a bat in a big smile. He's a Dodger, 399 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: very simimuch to his eighty five card when he's a Padre, 400 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: also smiling with the bat. 401 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: He likes to smile. 402 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 4: Tyrapken Junior in eighty three finishing a swing in an 403 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 4: orange top eighty four Don Mattingly. It's a close with 404 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: him fielding stance at first base. Photo looks I could 405 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 4: have been taken for the first base coaching box. Very close. 406 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 3: Those are all stars. Here's a little deeper cut for you. 407 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 4: Mike Flanagan had a great career nineteen eighty four with 408 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: the o's the photos capturing him, he's like mid wind up, 409 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 4: possibly going to throw the first base to pick someone 410 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 4: off if there's anyone on base. But he's perfectly like 411 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 4: a balanced on the rubber. So my memory is a 412 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 4: little fuzzy at this age now of a baseball card front, 413 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 4: but still pretty strong on the backs. I know hundreds 414 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: and hundreds of player birthdays, often their place of birth 415 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: as well, so baseball cards have that little bio date 416 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: at the top. My favorites are Kaya Skremsky eight twenty 417 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 4: three thirty nine, Southampton, New York. Dwight Gooden eleven sixteen 418 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 4: sixty four, Tampa, Florida, Roger Clemens eight four sixty two, Daton, Ohio, 419 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 4: not Texas, Wade Boggs six fifteen fifty eight, Omaha, Nebraska, 420 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 4: not Tampa, and Pete Rose four fourteen forty one, Cincinnati, Ohio. 421 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 4: Now I have to be confused with Correg Mattox of 422 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 4: four fourteen sixty six. 423 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: Of course you get the idea. 424 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 4: It's the only party trick I have. I'm Jeff Bennett 425 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: and I'm a seam. 426 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: Ed, so that could be you send us a voice 427 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: memo of why you are a seam head Dad, Jeff Bennett, 428 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: that was unbelievably I. 429 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 3: Told you, Jeff, it's an obsession. It's unhealthy at times, 430 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: but it's what separates baseball, I believe, from the other sports. 431 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: And if anyone out there actually thinks that Jeff Bennett 432 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: was at home reading that stuff off the back of 433 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 3: Carl Yastremsky's baseball card. Then you don't know Jeff Bennett. 434 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: So I remember we challenged him on this. We found 435 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 3: baseball cards from the eighty two through eighty five, Jeff. 436 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 3: That's four years of baseball cards. And I just challenged 437 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 3: him and said, all right, all right, robbing you out 438 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty two. And he just went like this 439 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: without even hesitating. He said, oh, he had two cards 440 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: that year. One he's like running out of the box 441 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 3: after getting a hit. Second one he's like leading off 442 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 3: of first base. I don't know what it was. We checked. 443 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 3: He was absolutely right. And again, if there any guests, 444 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 3: any listeners, or viewers out there who want to send 445 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: us an iam a seam head, we will take it 446 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: because I will tell you, Jeff, I'm running out of 447 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: obsessed baseball friends. We need some strangers to call in 448 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: and contribute to the show. 449 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: You can send us a voice memo Jeff at Great 450 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: Game or what dot com or at great Game or 451 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: what on social media, and I can pull it directly 452 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: from there. 453 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 2: On this date in. 454 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: Baseball history, Dad, you're already obsessing over April to fourth, 455 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: four to four, right, So what do you got so 456 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: it's a theme this week, three different guys on this date. 457 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: Jeff hit three home runs in a game on opening Day, 458 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: George Bell in nineteen eighty eight, first guy ever to 459 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: hit three. 460 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: Home runs on opening Day.

Now we can go all the 500 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: way back to the A's, back to the Philadelphia's. But 501 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: and it does. I don't think it matters. Ricky Henderson 502 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 3: is the greatest A's player ever and We've been over this, Jeff. 503 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: He's the great leadoff hitter of all time. He is 504 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 3: the all time stolen base leader, and there is not 505 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: a close second. He is at worst one of the 506 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 3: fifteen greatest players of all time, and if he played today, 507 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: he would be even greater. All time run scored leader. 508 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 3: An amazing guy. And remember the stat we use, Jeff. 509 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 3: He walked leading off an inning seven hundred and ninety 510 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: six times. And my friend Craig Wright looked this up. 511 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 3: Forty five percent of the position players in the Hall 512 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: of Fame did not walk as many times total as 513 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson did leading off innings. And that tells me 514 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 3: that Ricky Henderson leads off an inning and that's different 515 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 3: than coming up with runners on base, because with the 516 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 3: runners on base, he's saying, I got to be a 517 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 3: different hitter, I got to drive these guys in. But 518 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 3: when he leads off an inning, he's just saying, if 519 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: I can get on base, I'm gonna steal second. I'm 520 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: gonna cause havoc. That's how great Ricky Henderson was. He's 521 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: the greatest a for me of all time. 522 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: And in tradition, with every Friday from Ozzie to oral 523 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: the best players from one. 524 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: To fifty five. 525 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: We've knocked out one, two, three, and four Dad, but 526 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: we teased it last week. We said number five is 527 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: not going to be an easy one, so we're only 528 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: going to do one today. Who, in your opinion, is 529 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: the greatest player to ever wear the number box and 530 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: reminding everybody, this is your opinion. 531 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: It might be the best number ever. I haven't done 532 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: that research, but these are the guys who aren't even 533 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 3: in the top three. George Brett, Brooks, Robinson, Jeff Bagwell, 534 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 3: Hankering all were number five and I don't even think 535 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: they make the top three number fives of all time. 536 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: And again, Jeff, this is really important for our listeners 537 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: and our viewers. This is my opinion. Your opinion is valid. 538 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: Whatever you want. If you disagree with me, please because 539 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 3: there are so many great options here. Johnny Bench is 540 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: the greatest catcher of all time for me, he was 541 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: the greatest Cincinnati read for me last week. And it's 542 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 3: anyone who votes for Johnny Bench the greatest Number five 543 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: I'm in. Joe Demaggio is the fourth greatest center fielder 544 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: of all time for me. Again my list, nobody else's 545 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 3: Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mannle, Joe Demagio. Joe Demaggio's 546 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: career was absurdly great. Lifetime three twenty five hitter, three 547 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one homers, three hundred and sixty nine strikeouts, 548 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: never struck out forty times in a season, one of 549 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 3: the great winners, one of the great defensive center fielders ever, 550 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 3: and I cannot believe I'm not putting him as the 551 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 3: number one, number five of all time. I'm going with 552 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: Albert pool Holes. Albert pool Hols did it longer than 553 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: Jo Maggio, and even though he had some bad years, 554 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: unlike Joe Demaggio, who never never had a bad year. 555 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: You look at Albert Pooholes's body of work, he's either 556 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: the second or the third greatest first baseman of all 557 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 3: time behind lou Gehrigg. It's either Garek Jimmy Fox at 558 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 3: pool Holes or it's Gerrek Fox, I mean pool Holes 559 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 3: and Fox. You look at his first ten years in 560 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: the league, and they were arguably the first, the greatest 561 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 3: first ten years that any player has ever had. Six 562 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 3: hundred homers, three thousand hits. Just an amazing player and 563 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 3: a guy who cared about winning. Is about as much 564 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: as anyone I've ever met. So call in and scream 565 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 3: at me, but I'm going pooh Holes as the greatest 566 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 3: number five. It is a fistfight of all fist fights, 567 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: but it's it's a good natured one because there are 568 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 3: great you know, there are great arguments to be made 569 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: for so many number five. 570 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: Johnny Bench mentioned at the end of our interview with 571 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: him last year that he would love to come back 572 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: on the show, and I just, yep, just got an 573 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: Instagram message said he's no longer interested in coming back. 574 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: Dad, what are you doing? No, I'm just kidding. 575 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: That is really tough between just between those three DiMaggio, 576 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: you've got poo Holes, You've got Johnny Bench, but then 577 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: you add the other. 578 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: One at the top, and are you kidding me? 579 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 3: Brooks, Robarts, Brett Brooks, Robinson underrated, Hank Greenberg one of 580 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 3: the great right handed hitters of all time. I'm sure 581 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 3: Lou Boudreau, I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of other 582 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: guys who wear five. But this is the best. 583 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: Jeff Bagwell, not saying he's better than DiMaggio, but still 584 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: another great number five. 585 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's our Ozzie to orro for this week, okay. 586 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: And keeping in mind that if you want to debate yours, 587 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: you can do so on social media and let us 588 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: know what you think at great game or what Dad 589 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: today is April fourth, and only in a way that 590 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: only you can. You have come up with a team 591 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,959 Speaker 1: Tim called the All four four team. Now, when you 592 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: had told me this, you texted me this is what 593 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: Dad does every single week. He texts me a picture 594 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: of his notebook that has the rundown. Because we struggle 595 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: with technology on this podcast. 596 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 3: So inside stroking it technology, I. 597 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Try to make you feel better by saying we instead 598 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: of typing it and you know, putting it into a 599 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,239 Speaker 1: Google doc and us sharing it. 600 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: This is how we do it when the technology. 601 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: But I had no idea what that meant, because I 602 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: know Carson Kelly went four for four on Monday night 603 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: with a with a cycle. Maybe that was what four 604 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: for four, but I didn't know. But it's first name, 605 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: four letters, last name, four letters. Simple, let's hear it 606 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: all right. 607 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 3: So Tony Payna is the catcher. Tony Payanna caught more 608 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: games nineteen hundred and fifty without catching a no hitter 609 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: than anyone in Major League history, and he was a 610 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: really good defensive catcher. Especially Norm Cash is our first baseman. 611 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: Go back and look at his nineteen sixty one season once, Jeff. 612 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: It was just incredible. And this still amazes me. Norm 613 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 3: Cash drove in one thousand, over one thousand runs in 614 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 3: his career and never had a walk off RBI of 615 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 3: any kind. No walk off homer, no walk off single, 616 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 3: never got hit by a pitch or walked with the 617 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 3: bases loaded, or hit a sacrifice fly to drive in 618 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 3: a run as a walk off RBI, not one. And 619 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: he was a really good player. Don't get me wrong, Okay. 620 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 3: Jeff Kent is our second baseman. I think he should 621 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 3: be in the Hall of Fame, but he's on and 622 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 3: off the ballot. We'll see where he goes from here. 623 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 3: Pete Rose is our third baseman, and Bill Hall is 624 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 3: our shortstop. I was gonna go with Hobby By, but 625 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 3: his real name is hobber Biez, even though he goes 626 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 3: by Hobby. Bill Hall went by Bill Hall and had 627 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 3: some great games. By the way, on Mother's Day. Another 628 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 3: reason we've got Bill Hall as our shortstop, one of 629 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 3: our outfielders, our premier outfielder Dabe Ruth is the captain 630 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 3: of the all four by four. 631 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: Team, okay, and he's coming in in relief as well. 632 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 3: As he can pitch for this team. Also, Juan Soto 633 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 3: very much in the news every day. Four by four. 634 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 3: Fred Linn he went by Freddy sometimes with his fred 635 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 3: Lynne to me, Adam Dunn is our designated hitter and 636 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 3: our pitcher. And this took a little while. Jeff Vida Blue, 637 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 3: and people who forget Vida Blue, Oh my gosh, you 638 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 3: should have seen him in the early seventies. Jeff. It 639 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 3: was absolutely stunning, how hard he threw, how great he was. 640 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: And the owner of the Oakland A's came to him 641 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 3: and said, for marketing purposes, we want you to change 642 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 3: your name, your first name to true so his name 643 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: would be True Blue Blue. Vida said, not a chance. 644 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 3: By the way, how much better name is there than 645 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 3: Vida Blue. I mean, who would want to ever chase 646 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 3: my name was Vita Blue. I'd be the happiest guy 647 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: in the world. I mean, what a name. It's beautiful. 648 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 2: You don't like when people call us cold? 649 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: Calls to say, is mister kajerkchin there? 650 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 3: Jev I did a radio show. This is probably fifteen 651 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 3: years ago. The guy, the the host introduced me as 652 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 3: our guest, Tim Kajerkchen. That's what he said. So, I mean, look, 653 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 3: my name, our name has been butchered more times than anybody. 654 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 3: So but I did have to explain, all right, it's 655 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 3: actually Tim Kirkchin. He goes, geez, I'm sorry, he said, 656 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 3: I thought there was a jerk in there somewhere. That's 657 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 3: what he said about my last about our last name. 658 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 3: So all right, enough of that. 659 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: Would you rather be Tim Kajerkchin or Tom Kirkchin? 660 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 3: Right? Well, Tom Kirchen is another story, and we'll finish 661 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 3: the podcast with this, Okay.
