Then I would come eventually 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: we played for David Johnson in the major leagues and 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: he would be my manager. And all the different people, 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 4: Jim Fry who had a big impact on me my 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: rookie season and going away and Rookie of the Year 55 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 4: and Bill Robinson coming in and being my hitting coach 56 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: and helping me grow and mature and becoming a dominating 57 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: player I was because he constantly stayed on me about 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: how good I was.

Just 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: you know, with all that you went through, being suspended, 70 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: the substance abuse, all the other stuff that you know 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: is a part of your life story.

But they were a lot older 82 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: than I was, a lot wiser than I was, but 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 4: I knew it was real, you know, when you think 84 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: about it and you see guys like that, and I 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: appreciate them so much because they had a profound effect. 86 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: I mean, and I think that's why I'm standing as 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 4: a man. I am today, because the uniform really doesn't 88 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: define you. It just make your ballplayer athletes, you know, 89 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 4: And I think a lot of guys get consumed with 90 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 4: that and never could take the uniform off and become 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: the man. And as I sit here today, you know, 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: I'm a totally different person, and I love people, and 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 4: I care for people, and I want to help many 94 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: as people as I can before my life is over here. 95 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: And I think that's what what's important, That's what stands 96 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: out in my life more than anything as the things 97 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: that I get to do today. 98 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: Our guest is Darryl Strawberry, who of course won a 99 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: World Series with the Mets in nineteen eighty six, then 100 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: moved on to the Bronx and won two World Series 101 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: with the Yankees. I mean, you know, people in New 102 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: York have viewed his career, seen him play all that, 103 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: all the contributions he's made on the field as well. 104 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: Eight time All Star you. 105 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: Know, did in nineteen eighty four to nineteen ninety one, 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: which was incredible. 107 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: That was the domination, you know, to make. 108 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: The All Star with all the great players, to be 109 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: able to make the All Star team eight years like that, 110 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: I mean that that was another thing. And let me 111 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: take you back to being with the Mets and playing 112 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 2: in New York. You know, New York is a Yankee town. 113 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: They got all the championships and one of the greatest 114 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: franchise in the history of this country. 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: Forget about New York, right, But. 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: During your years with you and Dwight Gooden, when you 117 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: guys came up to the Mets, the Mets used to 118 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: steal a back page. It was about the Mets. The 119 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: Mets were the dominant team during your era. Do you 120 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: remember it like that? 121 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: Of course, it was definitely lights out when we came 122 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 4: to town and started that run. You know, after my 123 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: eighty three Rookie of the Year and Doc coming eighty 124 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 4: four Rookie of the Year. We stopped that Rookie of 125 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: the Year going to the Dodgers. You know I did 126 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 4: in eighty three and Doctor stopped it in eighty four. 127 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 4: So you had two young African American playing in New 128 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 4: York City and Queens at the highest level. And the 129 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 4: expectations were big for me when I came up. I 130 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: think they kind of slid Doc in even though he 131 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 4: was nineteen when he came in. Davy Johnson's kind of 132 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: sliddy Man. They didn't put the heat on him and 133 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 4: the pressure on and they said, well, let's see what 134 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 4: he can do at the major league level. So he 135 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: would go on to be one of the greatest younger 136 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 4: pitchers that you would ever see and major League Baseball 137 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: and the way he control role, uh just everything, not 138 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: just the game but also the fans coming into the ballpark. 139 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 4: I've never seen anything like it. When I when he 140 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: was in eighty five, when he was cy young, when 141 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: he won twenty four games, and you know, I had 142 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 4: a one point three something year, right, one point five three. 143 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: I take him one. 144 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: Point twenty four to anybody and you had a front 145 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: row seat. But anybody who watched him that year, he 146 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: reminded me of just the number of like Bob Gibson domination. 147 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: I mean, that was the most unbelievable pitching you ever saw. 148 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: It's the most I've never seen anybody even come close 149 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: to that. I mean, because I got a you know, 150 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: like you said, a front seat, a playing underneath it, 151 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: and I thought it was pretty boring playing outfield because 152 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: Doctor never gave you in the action. I mean, he 153 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: just completely dominated major league hitters. You know, I just 154 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: remember guys, you know, major league teams coming to the 155 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: ballpark and being in the lineup starting players, and they 156 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 4: realized Doc was pitching at night. And you would see 157 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: players come out of the lineup and say, something happened 158 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: to my shoulder. They was in the lineup, but they 159 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: just didn't want their three punch outs. You know. It's 160 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 4: like from this young kid, and how could this kid 161 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 4: be that good? And you know, and I just realized 162 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: that we had some special when that team started to 163 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: come together, and myself being a young player, and then 164 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 4: we go on to like the eighty six year and 165 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: when the world here. Yeah, of course the Yankees, we 166 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: just dominated the headlines. And I think that frustrated George, 167 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: you know, the boss of the Yankees, that the Mets 168 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: have came in town and they started to rule and 169 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: reign over the town and take over the papers and 170 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 4: the back pages. And it was all about the Mets 171 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 4: and what we were doing, and we were headed in 172 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: the right direction. And then we ended up getting Carter 173 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: who came over in the trade, and it just really 174 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 4: took us to the next level because we had Hernand 175 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: just come over in the trade from Saint Louis and 176 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 4: then we got Ray Knight, and then we got Carter 177 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 4: blended in with the younger players, and it just allowed 178 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: us to step to the next level and believe in 179 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 4: ourselves as a team that we can win. 180 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: I talked to Cecil Fielder, who of course played on 181 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: the Yankees and won a World Series and he played 182 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: in Detroit a long time, he played in Toronto, and 183 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: he said to me, there's nothing better than winning in 184 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: New York. Do you feel the same way like when 185 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: and you did it three times? 186 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 3: But like that's that's what he always says to me. 187 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: He says, I feel like blessed that I want a 188 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: World Series in New York. 189 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: Bro, There's nothing greater than playing in New York and winning. 190 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 4: You know, a lot of players say they want to 191 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: come there and play. I tell him, be careful what 192 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 4: you ask for it, because you just might get it. 193 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: And you have to deal with the pressure of playing 194 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: in New York. And the fans they know sports. You know, 195 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 4: they're not done to sports. You know you can't fool them. 196 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: And they know if you you know, a sucker and 197 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: you can't play there, they're gonna run you out of 198 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: town and right. And so it's nothing like it. You know, 199 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: when you win there, it's the best, it's forever. The 200 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: town will always celebrate you because you have to become 201 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 4: a war and the biggest city on the biggest stage. 202 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 4: And when you can do that and perform on that stage, 203 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 4: people are always crazy about you. They don't care what 204 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: anyone else has to say. They know that you have 205 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: played here, and they know that you have taken some 206 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: heat playing here, and you understand, you understood what it 207 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: was going to be to be able to play here, 208 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 4: but you got it done. And that's what New York 209 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: fans are all about. 210 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: Uh. 211 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 4: And New York is a challenge because when you look 212 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: at New York City, everybody's got everybody's got some type 213 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 4: of struggle there, and everybody's moving fast, so everybody's trying 214 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: to make it work. You know, the grinding the people 215 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: in New York City. But I tell you they're very 216 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: special people. I always say, I gotta thank God for 217 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 4: giving me the opportunity to be raised up and playing 218 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 4: in a place like New York City. 219 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: And then the flip side is you went to the Bronx, 220 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: which tradition there had big home runs, big hits, won 221 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: the World Series. George Steinbrenner gave you an opportunity there, 222 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: and uh, Yankee fans love you too. It was it 223 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: was not It's not often, you know, it wasn't often 224 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: that a guy was identified as a met goes to 225 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 2: the Yankees, you know, and is a fan favorite as well. 226 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: Well. I think, what's the Yankee fans like about people 227 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: who had challenges in their life and don't quit and 228 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 4: don't give up. I think that's why I was accepted 229 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: so so much over there, because in New Yorkers and 230 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: they realized that this guy here, he persevered, man, he 231 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 4: don't give up. 232 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: Man. 233 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 4: He was great over there in Queens and yeah, he 234 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: went through some trials and tribulations in his life, but 235 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: we accept him because one thing that they realized that 236 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 4: if the boss wanted me over there, the boss was 237 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: going to get me over there. George. Everybody else was 238 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 4: you know. Their prediction was, he can't play. We don't 239 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: really want him, he don't fit, you know, la la la, 240 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 4: and uh, George made everybody be quiet, and he brought 241 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: me over into the Bronx. And when I got there 242 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 4: and came over there, after that ninety five years I 243 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: played with him and then I ended up going to 244 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 4: Saint Paul Jorce and Geene Michaels, who was who was 245 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 4: Stick down to see me play down there, and Stick 246 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: came and went back to the boss and told him 247 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: this guy got tremendous bass feed and he can play 248 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: it off field. He can play, And I think that's 249 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: why the trigger was pulled. And Georye says, well, I'm 250 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 4: getting him back some kind of way, and I guess 251 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: he kept it quiet to himself and he pulled the 252 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 4: trigger when it was time. And then I gotta say this, 253 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 4: because when I came there, I didn't have to play. 254 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: But you think about it, Joe Torrey saw me, and 255 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 4: Joe Torrey saw what I was capable of doing, and 256 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: he made sure that I was going to be playing. 257 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: He didn't care what anybody else was thinking of saying. 258 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: You know, Lottie, Dottie, do you know media was saying 259 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 4: he couldn't play the off and he can't catch up 260 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 4: with major league pitching. And once Joe put me in 261 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 4: the lineup and saw that that was not true, that 262 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: was far from true, he goes, I need this guy 263 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: in my lineup. So I credit Joe Tory for standing 264 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: up and having faith in me too. 265 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: I give Joe credit as well. In ninety six when 266 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: you guys won the World Series, and remember you were 267 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: down oh two, you got obliterated in the first two 268 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: games in the Bronx went to Atlanta, and Joe did 269 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: something most managers don't do, Straw, which is he sat 270 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: down Tino Martinez, h Wade Boggs, and Paul O'Neill and 271 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: inserted you cecil fielder and Charlie Hayes the sole patrol 272 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: and you guys won the next three games in Atlanta. 273 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: Am I right? 274 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 4: That was a sole patrol team. He put it out there, 275 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 4: regardless of what anybody was gonna think. I know Atlanta 276 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 4: was looking, you know when we were like when they 277 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 4: had the announcers on the line and they were looking 278 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 4: down the line and they probably saying it, these are 279 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 4: all black players, you know, it's just one white player, 280 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: which Joe Girardi was a catcher and and I f 281 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: had it was a pitcher, and they I kind of 282 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: they kind of probably felt we probably in a little 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 4: bit of trouble because these boy here could play. They've 284 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: been playing Major League baseball a long time and they 285 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 4: knew how to play the game and I don't think 286 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: they're going to be you know, tight or anything, and 287 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: we wasn't. You know, we were very loose. I mean, 288 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 4: we sat and we were patient. We played the first 289 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 4: two games and we lost at home, and when he 290 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 4: broke that lineup out, it just it said something. It 291 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: said something to you know, the nation where the Yankees brough. 292 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 4: We're going to play these players here and they all 293 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: of color, and we believed that they get a job 294 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 4: done for us, and we did. You know, it was 295 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 4: a complete team effort. But he had to make a 296 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 4: switch because there was a struggle there in the first 297 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: two games, so he had to do something different. He 298 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: had to sleep on it, and you know, I think 299 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 4: the other players, they they accepted it, you know, because 300 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: they knew they were struggling at the time, and they 301 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: knew that, you know, this was a switch for the 302 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: better because we did have some players on our team 303 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 4: that can't play, that have experienced. Plans'd be a big difference, 304 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 4: Rob if we didn't have that experience, but all the 305 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 4: guys had the experience to be able to play and 306 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 4: go out and get it done. 307 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: Last thing I want to share with people who might 308 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: be listening to the podcasts who don't know the history 309 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: between me and you. And I want to say this 310 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: because I was in college when you came up to 311 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: the big leagues in nineteen eighty three, and I had 312 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: written a letter to Jay Harrowiz was the PR guy 313 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: at the time, and said I wanted to interview you 314 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: for the college newspaper.

But just to 339 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: be able to sit down and you know, break bread 340 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: with brother and just talk about things, and you know, 341 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 4: we just we became friends over that, and that's important. 342 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 4: I think that's important in the game of sportune. You know, 343 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 4: it's not just because of our color. Well, it's only 344 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 4: so many of us, you know, that are around, you know, 345 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: and when you see one, you know, it's refreshing. And 346 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: I thought it was very refreshing. And and of course 347 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 4: you were young, you know, it was crazy. 348 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: It's so crazy, I know I was. I think I 349 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: might have been nineteen. I was young, because yeah, I 350 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: was nineteen years old. 351 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. Crazy. 352 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 4: And then you go back to see some of those 353 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 4: pictures over the past year, and then you go back 354 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 4: to see something like me, you and Eric at the 355 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 4: New Year's. 356 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, indeed, that's right, which was also another great picture. 357 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: Great times when we used to have those New Year's 358 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 2: Eve parties in Los Angeles, I used to fly out. Yeah, ma'am, 359 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 2: this is great. I can't wait for the induction ceremony 360 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: at City Field and this coming the twenty twenty four season, man, 361 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: I will be there front and center, just like I 362 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: was forty years ago when you first came up to 363 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: the Big League. So it's only fitting. And I just 364 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: want you to know on that black and white picture, 365 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: my guns are about the same size as you was back. 366 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we were thin. Run. I was paper too, 367 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 4: you were thin. 368 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 3: We were thin back then, no doubt about it. 369 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 4: Yeah I was paper ten, but most people didn't know. 370 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: I not only I could hit the loan, but when 371 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 4: I could fly, I used to be able to can 372 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: run like a d er. So it was good to 373 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 4: be paper thin like that, you know, just blow by 374 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 4: like the wind, no doubt. 375 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: His name is Daryl Strawberry. Thanks for joining us here 376 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: on Inside the Parker. 377 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: It's time for the Pocket Protector Centro. The analytic numbers 378 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: you need to know, well, maybe. 379 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: Anthony Masterson is his name. BS analytics is his game. 380 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 3: What do you got for me? 381 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: Anthony? 382 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 5: Last week I mentioned the NL MVP race coming down 383 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 5: to the wire, but now we can shift our focus 384 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 5: to the men on the mound. The NL cy Young 385 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: is turning into a three horse race, all with their 386 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 5: own interesting cases. Let's break it down, starting with the 387 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 5: odds on favorite at this point, the Padres Blake Snell. 388 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 5: Snell would become just the seventh pitcher in MLB history 389 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 5: to win the cy Young in both leagues after his 390 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 5: spell in twenty eighteen with Tampa, and just the second 391 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 5: lefty ever, joining Randy Johnson. His two fifty ERA leads 392 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: the league, as well as his one ninety one opponent average, 393 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 5: but Snell also leads a circuit and walks by a 394 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 5: wide margin. Only two pitchers have ever won the SI 395 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 5: while leading in walks, and none since early win in 396 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 5: nineteen fifty nine. The Braves Spencer Strider is a strikeout 397 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 5: maven who by September first was tied for the league 398 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 5: lead in wins and leading the circuit in strikeouts and whip. 399 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 5: In fact, Stryder's thirty eight percent strikeout raid would be 400 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 5: the highest by an NL starter in history, and the 401 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 5: second highest in a full season ever, only behind Garrett 402 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 5: Coles twenty nineteen with Houston. The final standout is the 403 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 5: Cubs Justin Steele, who finds himself in the top three 404 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 5: in the league and wins ERA and home run rate 405 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 5: all while throwing just a fastball and a slider. He 406 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 5: throws his fastball, which sits at just ninety two miles 407 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 5: an hour sixty five percent of the time, highest among 408 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 5: any starter, but only the Phillies Zach Wheeler gets more 409 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 5: chases from his fastball than Steel. We've got three more 410 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 5: weeks to see who has their eye on the side. 411 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 4: That ball. 412 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: It was a big week in the big leagues? Who's 413 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: a believe? Is it foul? Or is it fair? And 414 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: now from mlbdbro dot com, here's Jrgamball Jr. 415 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: Is it foul or fair? 416 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 2: To say that Jose al Twove's recent home run outburst 417 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: is the most explosive offensive display up to twenty twenty 418 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: three season? 419 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 6: Fair? 420 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: It's a fair ball. 421 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 6: Jose Altuve hasn't had the best season, but then again, 422 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 6: October is coming and future Hall of famers and multiple 423 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 6: World champions like Altuve, who's also battled aging and injuries 424 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 6: this year. When they are locked in, you tend to 425 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 6: get prolific streaks like this one that only great players provide. 426 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 6: You can't be fluky and mashed like our Tuove and 427 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 6: have a tear like this. It's just a credit to 428 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 6: his professionalism. As he said, he approached every at back 429 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 6: the same this year, regardless of whether or not he 430 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 6: was one for thirty or on a tear like he 431 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 6: is now his recent woodwacking exhibition. So Wookie Betts had 432 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 6: an historical month of August and that can't be denied, 433 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 6: becoming just the third person in history to hit at 434 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 6: least four fifty with fifty hits and ten homers. But 435 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 6: check this out. Al Tuove had homered in four consecutive 436 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 6: at bats going back to houston thirteen to six win 437 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 6: in the series opener on Monday that ended with the 438 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 6: groundout in the fifth inning. He tied the MLB record 439 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 6: with five homers in a two game span, and it 440 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 6: is the first player since nineteen sixty one to homer 441 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 6: in four consecutive innings. According to the Elias sports Zuro 442 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 6: at MLB dot com, that's Reggie Jackson's stuff. So there's 443 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 6: been some great offensive feats this season. But as far 444 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 6: as power surgeons go, the diminutive Altuve takes the cake. 445 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: Go figure, turn money into more money. Now it's time 446 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: for betting on the basis with Dave Gascott. 447 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: Love that money, Love that money. Rob. 448 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 7: What's up man? I am geared up for a frantic 449 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 7: finish as we get our way towards the end of 450 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 7: the regular season. Now fishing in the month of September. 451 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 7: There's a bunch of teams I'm looking at over the weekend. 452 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 7: So this is what I got. First off, Toronto Blue 453 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 7: Jays are at home against the lowly Kansas City Royals. 454 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 7: I will take Toronto Friday night. Meanwhile, different scene in Atlanta, 455 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 7: Braves and Pirates. Atlanta probably the favorite in the nationally. 456 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 7: They took a part the Dodgers over the weekend, probably 457 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 7: the Braves and the Orioles at least when you're looking 458 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 7: at things when it's all said and done. But I'll 459 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 7: take Atlanta Friday night as well. And the other one 460 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 7: Rangers and Athletics Texas. Right now, keep in toes with 461 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 7: the Astros and also the Seattle Mariners. They need to 462 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 7: win this ballgame because you just don't know who's gonna 463 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 7: be in the outside looking in. And if you want 464 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 7: to obviously get a little crazy, you want to do 465 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 7: a three team parlay Rangers, Braves, Blue Jays. That's it, Robin, 466 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 7: take it away. 467 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: In the words of New York TV legend the late 468 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: Bill Jorgensen, thanking you for your time this time until 469 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 2: next time, Rob Parker out d can't Gavin. 470 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: This could be an inside of Parker. 471 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: See you next week, same bat time, same Matt's station.
