So today 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: is five twenty nine, and I always look at Is 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: that a famous number in baseball history? 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: Well, actually it isn't. 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 2: I should have told you that on five twenty one 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 2: May twenty one. That that's the number of home runs 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 2: that Ted Williams, Frank Thomas, and Willie McCovey all hit 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: in their careers. And I just love to look at 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: those numbers and just see if there's anything special today. 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: Five twenty nine. 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: Al Oliver, one of the great hitters, had five hundred 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: and twenty nine doubles in his career three zero three 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 2: career hitter, two thousand, seven hundred and forty three hits. 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: I covered him when on the eighty two Rangers as 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: the beat guy, and they traded him to the Expos 33 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: at the end of spring training and a deal that 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: didn't quite work out for the Rangers. However, they got 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: Larry parrishon the deal that was really good. But I 36 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: saw Al Oliver's nickname was Scoop at the All Star 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: Game in Montreal. So he was with the Rangers in 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: spring training and he had one of the great seasons 39 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: ever with the eighty two Expos. I said, Al, how 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 2: you doing?

You 74 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: just flew to Las Vegas from Philadelphia with your one 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: year old daughter, McKinley, just and you were alone on 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: the flight. Now, trust me, Jeff Lork I travel with 77 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: you and your sister many times alone. 78 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: When you guys were really young. How did it go? 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: How did the flight go with McKinley. 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: I gotta say I was very, very anxious and very 81 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: nervous because Mom comes first. Mom works from home. McKinley's 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: at home all day, and so mom is number one. 83 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: And I'm not afraid to admit that that's okay with me. 84 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: But the flight went, It was spectacular. We had to 85 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: connect in Chicago. We went Philly to Chicago, Chicago to Vegas. 86 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: So two flights never good. But I realized that the 87 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: change of being able to get off the plane and 88 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: reset was was actually really good. Now I did have 89 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of a hack. So I am in 90 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: Las Vegas for work right now because I'm going to 91 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: see Kenny Chesney at Sphere so he's doing a residency 92 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: dad at that giant globe in Las Vegas.

So like if 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: you were, like, I've never heard how you find the 110 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: box scores better because you go to you know, ESPN 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: instead of using the newspaper because they don't print them, 112 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: that's a hack, right, all right? 113 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: Like you had hacks, you know are Stan Hack who 114 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: played in the big leagues and Hack Wilson. 115 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: That's it for me. 116 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: I've never used the word hack in that term. 117 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: All right, good, keep going. 118 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: So it went really well. But my hack was the 119 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: fact that, since I'm traveling for work, I did have 120 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: a coworker who was traveling with me, my friend Rachel, 121 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: who is our digital program director. She was on the 122 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: same flight and she offered to be in the same row. 123 00:05:53,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: So was I really alone? No, but I definitely, I mean, 124 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: and she had to sleep on my arm. This is McKinley, 125 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: not my digital program director, Rachel, And so it went 126 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: really well. 127 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 6: Though. 128 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: McKinley was great. She had a good long nap on 129 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: the second flight and then we're in Las Vegas now 130 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: and she woke up at four thirty local time, so 131 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: because she's still kind of on East coastmind, so we're 132 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: kind of all over the place. Dad, But I'm going 133 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: to see Kenny Chesney at sphere. I know you and Kenny. 134 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Oddly enough, Country star Kenny Chesney have a connection. 135 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 136 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: We met at the White House many years ago for 137 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: a big baseball night he played in the Rose Garden. 138 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: It was tremendous, I imagine in the receiving line, and 139 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: he knew who I was, and he loves baseball, and 140 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: I think he really liked me because I'm shorter than him, 141 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 2: and that's pretty hard to do. 142 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: And the weekend we moved my sister Kelly into Syracuse. 143 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: Kenny Chesney was playing at the New York State Fair 144 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: and we went to go see Kenny. And Dad, I've 145 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: made a living now of being a country music morning 146 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: show host, and that was my first real country concert, 147 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: was a Kenny show at the New York State Fair.

But 154 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: that really kind of jumped started my love of country music. 155 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: And so that show was more than just a cool 156 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: moment to see Kenny live. It really is what got 157 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: me into country music. 158 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: So now here we are. 159 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was fifteen years ago. 160 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: Right and it was pouring rain that night, Jeff and 161 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: we stood in the rain singing songs, the four of us. 162 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: It was absolutely great. 163 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: And Kenny Chesney told me, if you ever need tickets, 164 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: let us know.

I'd 174 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: love his big dumper nickname is butt is as big 175 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: as a bus. 176 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: I was told that's where he got the nickname from. 177 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: When I asked him about that, he said, yeah, that 178 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: sounds about right to me and laughed out loud. 179 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: You said his butt was as big as a bus. 180 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: You've been told you're a journalist. Have you confirmed this 181 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: with your eyes? Have you seen the backside of him 182 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: in baseball pants? Can you confirm it's that large? 183 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: It's big? And okay for him to confirm it is fine. 184 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: So eighteen of the home runs Jeff have come as 185 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: a catcher, and he did it in fifty three games. 186 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: So the only other catcher in Major League history hit 187 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: eighteen home runs as a catcher in his first fifty 188 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: three games was Roy Campanella in nineteen fifty five, which 189 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: was one of his MVP seasons. And Jeff, I know, 190 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: I've always tried to teach you lessons in life and 191 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: the things you just need to know. Must have respect 192 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: for people, You must be kind to people, and you 193 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 2: must know the six players who hit forty or more 194 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: home runs in a season with ten or more letters 195 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: in their last name. Roy Campanella is one of them. 196 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: So as long as you remember those three lessons, Jeff. 197 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: You will never get sidetracked. 198 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad, I learned who's on first before the ABC's 199 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: in my household, trust me. I when I got to school, 200 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: I was like, is anybody gonna ask me about Babe 201 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: Ruth seven hundred and fourteen home runs? They said, no, 202 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: count to five. 203 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: Right, I don't know how to do that right. 204 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: Well, just for our listeners, Rico Petrocelli, Carlia Stremsk, Roy Campanella, 205 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: Curtis Granderson, Ted Klezuski, Edwin and Carnacion, the guys who've 206 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: hit forty or more homers with ten or more letters 207 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: in their last name. 208 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: Okay. 209 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: The other thing, Dad, you are the definition of when 210 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: women look at us and say, how do you remember 211 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: these things but you don't remember to take. 212 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: Out the trash, Jeff, I take out the trash, and 213 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: the recycle is better than anyone. 214 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: It's selective pretention. 215 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: I remember what I'm interested in and nothing else. Sorry, 216 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: you know all about this, So show hey Otani through Tuesday. 217 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 2: It hit thirteen homers in May. First player to get 218 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 2: to twenty homers this season, no surprise. So the only 219 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: Dodgers to hit more home runs in any calendar month 220 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: than Otani's thirteen. And he's not done with May yet, 221 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: as we know, Peter Guerrero hit fifteen in June of 222 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: eighty five. Duke Snyder hit fifteen in August of ninety three. 223 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: By the way, Jeff Pedro, Guerrero was a really good hitter. 224 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: I mean a really good hitter. 225 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: He was not as good a defensive player as he 226 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: was a hitter because he was such a great hitter. 227 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 3: So the Dodgers lost the game one night. 228 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: And I'm not hurting anyone's feelings here, but Tommy Losorda 229 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 2: in the postgame meeting, has a postgame meeting because he's 230 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 2: so furious at their defense, and he looks at Guerrero 231 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: and says, what is the first thing that comes to 232 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: your mind after the pitch is thrown? And Pedro Guerrero says, 233 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: don't hit it to me. That's so the sorta screams 234 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: at him and says, well, what's the second thing you think? 235 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: And he says, don't hit it to Sacks. Steve Sachs 236 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: the second basement. So the Dodgers, I'm told, got it 237 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: such a kick out of this story and this honesty 238 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: from Peterro Guerrero that they went on a big winning 239 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: street against Steve Sacks was not a great defensive second baseman, 240 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: but boy did he. 241 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 3: Play hard, and yuh could hear it? 242 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: A couple other things, Jeff, the Rockies have lost twenty 243 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: one consecutive series over two years. 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: That sets a major league record. 245 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: Last year the twenty four White Sox did that and 246 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 2: the eighteen ninety five Louisville Cardinals did that. So we 247 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: never pile on the Rockies. It just serves no point. 248 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: I get no joy out of this. But a major 249 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: league record was set on Tuesday by the Rockies. Another 250 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: one set by the Rockies, unfortunately. And last thing here here, yeah, 251 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: your Phillies. By the way, Jeff started out thirteen and thirteen, whispers, 252 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: what's wrong? Well through Tuesday they had gone twenty two 253 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: and six and they are rolling. So the Philadelphia kirchen 254 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: Holme is a happy one. 255 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: Right, Like that's the truth. I mean our dog Ranger 256 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: named after Ranger Sworez, who's on a four and oh 257 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: start if I'm not mistaken after coming out that injury, right, 258 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: and I mean grant it. He had a great, great 259 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: start to this season or it's a last season, I 260 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: should say, before getting hurt and then now starting this season. 261 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, we're all happy here. 262 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: Dad. 263 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to the I'm going to two games in 264 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: one week. I'm actually really looking forward to this.

Never mind, all right, let's 275 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: get onto the questions. 276 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: Jeff, okay, god, yeah, all right. So Jeff, let's see 277 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: if you follow the thread that I've been talking about 278 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: all year. Jared Duran of the Red Sox, their leadoff 279 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: hitters struck out four. 280 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: Times in a game on. 281 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: Tuesday, So let's see how well you've been listening to 282 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: me this season. That is the fifteenth time that a 283 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: leadoff batter in baseball this year struck out four times 284 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: in a game, and that's the most ever before we 285 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: get to June in major league history. I've been tracking 286 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: this since the first day of the season. Yeah, jose 287 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: L Tuve did it right, a bunch of right. But 288 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: Ellie de la Cruz did it. 289 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 290 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: No, now, O'Neil Cruz did it recently. It started on 291 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: opening Day in the first game of the season between 292 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: the Brewers and the Yankees. Jackson Curio of the Brewers, 293 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: the leadoff hitter, went zero for five with five strikeouts, 294 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: making him the third player ever to strike out five 295 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: times on opening Day. And of course you can't remember 296 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: the other two, just like I can't remember anything other 297 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: than baseball in my entire life. But Ron Carkavie and 298 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: Max Mounsey all years ago the only other guys other 299 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: than Churio to strike out five times on opening Day. 300 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: When when the name Ron Carkavis comes up, which former? 301 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: Is this a great game? Or what guests do you 302 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: always think of? Am I? 303 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: Am I supposed to know this? 304 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: Steve Russian? Oh yeah, yeah, I feel like he references 305 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Ron Carcavis so much. 306 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: Right, well, Steve Rushan is just the funniest. 307 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: Guy in the world. 308 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: I absolutely love him, all right. 309 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: A couple things, Jeff. 310 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: The Cubs still through Tuesday do not have a home 311 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: run from their third baseman. Their third baseman this year 312 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: are hitting two twelve with no homers and thirteen RBIs. 313 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: And the Cubs are not only in first place, but 314 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: they are a really good offensive team and do not 315 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: have a homer from their third basement. Meanwhile, their number 316 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: nine hitters this year are hitting two forty six with 317 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: six homers and thirty RBIs. 318 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: So the last team to go this many games. 319 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: Into a season without a homer from a third baseman, 320 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Marlins, went sixty six games before 321 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: Jean Segura hit one. In twenty thirteen, Marlins went seventy 322 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: seven games in Placido Polanco, so I guess it's not 323 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: as unusual. But Matt Shaw got the big hit on 324 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: third basement on Tuesday night, went to the University of Maryland, 325 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: biggest hit of his major league career, walk off single 326 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: to win that game, a game called by our dear 327 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: friend Jim Deshayes two silhouettes on Dashays, Dad, speaking. 328 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Of University of Maryland, did you see who their commencement 329 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: speaker was?

I did not know that. 343 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: Now you're on you can say you're on a list 344 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: with Kermit the Frog. You both spoke at the commencement 345 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: at University of Maryland's. That's great company to be a 346 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: part of. 347 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: That is good company. I love Kurmit. 348 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: Are there so many about worrybows? All right, Dad, I'll 349 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: leave you alone on Kermit the Frog here, what do 350 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: you have on this date in baseball history? 351 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: Well, in nineteen forty two, Lefty Gomez Hall of Fame 352 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: pitcher got four hits in a game. In one game, 353 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: he got four hits, pretty rare for a pitcher. Now, 354 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: he always described himself as a terrible hitter, even though 355 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: he hit one forty seven for his career. 356 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 3: Not bad. 357 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: But the point is he got four hits in one game, 358 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: a self described terrible hitter, and then went over twenty 359 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: for the rest of his career. So the final hit 360 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: he got in a major league game was part of 361 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: a four hit game. 362 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: Do you find that interesting? 363 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: I find that interesting. But I find it more interesting 364 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: that I wonder if anybody's ever named their child Lefty 365 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: in hopes that they just will be a hard throwing 366 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: left handed pitcher. Because Lefty Grove's real name is not Lefty. 367 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: I know that. 368 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: I think it's like Robert. 369 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: Right, Robert Moses Grove. 370 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, which makes him sound so much older, by 371 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: the way. 372 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, I totally agree, all right, Jeb. 373 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: Also, on this date in nineteen seventy six, you've heard this. 374 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things. Joe Nicro hit a 375 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: home run. The only home run that pitcher Joe Nicro 376 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: hit in one thy one hundred and sixty five played appearances, 377 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: and he hit it off of his brother, his brother 378 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: what's his brother's name. 379 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: Phil Nicro. 380 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: Way to go, Jeff, you are listening. 381 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: I am so proud of you. 382 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to hope through osmosis that you're picking 383 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: this stuff up. Yes, Joe Nicro hit a home run 384 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: off his brother Phil on this date in nineteen seventy six. 385 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: The only one that. 386 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 2: Joe Neicro ever hit. Today is Paul Skenes's birthday. He 387 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: is twenty three years old today May twenty ninth. Paul 388 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: Skeins was born in two thousand and two and twenty 389 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: years from now, Jeff, we're going to be talking about 390 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: his Hall of Fame career, because I really think, even 391 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: this far in advance, I think that is where he's headed. 392 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: And it's amazing to me, Jeff, that you are nine 393 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: years older than Paul Skeens. 394 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: Do you find that hard to believe? 395 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: It's really saddening, Dad, because what have I done with 396 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: my life? I'm thirty one and if somebody found a 397 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: baseball card of me, it would be in the trash. 398 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: They found a baseball card of Paul Skins, they'd be 399 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: a millionaire. 400 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 2: So your baseball card would say you graduated with honors 401 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: from Syracuse, who went straight from Syracuse to your own 402 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: radio show in Cleveland, and then in Las Vegas and 403 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: now in Philadelphia. 404 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 3: You are doing great, Dad. 405 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: You flatter me so much, but I think you're a 406 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: little bit biased in this situation, being that I am 407 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: your only son. 408 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 3: But thank you.

We were talking about the greatness 504 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: of Ted Williams. 505 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: Ted Williams, Jeff is. 506 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: The second greatest hitter of all time for me, behind Baby. 507 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: His career OPS Jeff is one point one one six. 508 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: So the only active player that has ever had one 509 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: season with an OPS that high is Aaron Judge, who 510 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 2: did it last year. No other active player has ever 511 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 2: had an OPS that high in one year. 512 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: And Ted Williams did that for his career. 513 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 2: And if it weren't for his military service, he would 514 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: have hit instead of five hundred and twenty one homers, 515 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: he would have been closer to seven hundred. He would 516 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: have been the all time RBI guy, and he was 517 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 2: so revered. 518 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 3: Jeff. 519 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: I'll never had Paul Mollador, one of our favorite guys, 520 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: went to a batting title like luncheon where everyone in 521 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 2: there was a great baseball player, and it was like 522 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 2: for batting titleists, only Malader won a batting title. 523 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: Williams won more than one, of course. 524 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: So Malader walks in the room and he sees Ted 525 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: Williams talking to Joe in the corner, and Ted Williams 526 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: blows off Joe Demagio runs over to Paul Mollader and. 527 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 3: Says, I always wanted to talk to you about hitting. 528 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: I love watching you hit, okay, And Paul Mollader is 529 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: like he's speechless. He's one of the great talkers ever. 530 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: He is speechless because Ted Williams now asking him two 531 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 2: O pitch, what are you looking for there? 532 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 3: Ninth inning? All this, and and Paul Moller said, I 533 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 3: didn't even know what to say. 534 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: It was like, how about Ted Williams just blew off 535 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 2: Joe DiMaggio to come over and speak to me. That's 536 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: how revered Ted Williams. And let's see if you can 537 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: remember Dan Shaughnessy last year on our podcast when he 538 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 2: sat down in Cooperstown with Ted Williams the day after 539 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: the induction, not Ted's induction, another induction, and there were 540 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: like six people at the table and no one said 541 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 2: a word correct. 542 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: What it said because everybody was scared to say anything 543 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: to Ted Williams. 544 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: Right, because Ted Williams looked at the six people around 545 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 2: the table and said, scared to death, aren't you and 546 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: they all went yep or afraid to talk to you. 547 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: You're damn right we are. And Dan Shaughnessy is has 548 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: is one of the most brave journalists everless wonderless. 549 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: He ain't Boston roots, but even he had trouble coming 550 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: up with the first question for Ted Williams. 551 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: Scared to death? Aren't you love it? Dad? 552 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: Let's jump into from Ozzie to Oral. We're counting down 553 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: the best baseball players from one to fifty five Ozzie 554 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: Smith to orl Herscheizer. You just let out a sigh. 555 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: We're on number nineteen. 556 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: Was impossible, jeff I, I'll just tell you who I 557 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 2: left out. I left Robin out on this list. 558 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 3: You know how hard that was for me to do. 559 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: You know how much harder even it was to leave 560 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: Tony Gwynn off the greatest nineteen of all time list. 561 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: Now anyone who votes for Robin Young, you will get 562 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: no r argument from me, and he won. Who votes 563 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 2: for Tony Gwynn no argument for me. But I chose 564 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: Bob Feller as the greatest nineteen of all time, Jeff. 565 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: He won two hundred and sixty six games, had a 566 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: six twenty one winning percentage, and of course, if he 567 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: hadn't given up all those years to military service, he 568 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: was a war hero. He would have won well over. 569 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 3: Three hundred games, Jeff. Remember I told you, at. 570 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: Age seventeen he struck out seventeen batters in a Major 571 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: League game. Carrie Wood had twenty as a twenty year old. 572 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 2: Those are the only two as far as I know, 573 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: And I just always amazed that Bob Feller is pitching 574 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: in the major leagues at age seventeen. He's striking out 575 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: seventeen and then when the season's over, he goes back 576 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: to high school and he's in you know, chemistry class, 577 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: geography class. So he led the league in strikeouts from 578 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: age nineteen through twenty two, that's four years in a row. 579 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: Then he went into the service for three years. 580 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 2: He missed forty two, forty three, and forty four, and 581 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: then he led the league in strikeouts nineteen forty six 582 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: through forty eight. 583 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: That's who. 584 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: Bob Feller was one of the great pitchers of all time. 585 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: But he was an irascible sort Jeff. 586 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: He was tough. 587 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: And do we have a clip on Bob Feller somewhere? 588 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: Yes, we do. 589 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: So we had Steve Sparks on a couple of weeks ago, now, Dad, 590 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: fantastic interview. If you missed it, it was hilarious. 591 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 3: We got all the laughs. 592 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: You can scroll back in. 593 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 3: The feed to check it out. 594 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: Steve Sparks was pitching in the miners and Bob Feller 595 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: was there. And I'm gonna mis recalling exactly why he 596 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: was there, but he met. 597 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 3: He was doing a book signing, and yes, and was 598 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 3: throwing out the first. 599 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: Ball and ed Steve's Steve Spark's basest laugh out loud 600 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: with the first time he ever met Bob Feller. 601 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 6: Bob Feller was gonna promote a book that he had written. 602 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 6: I was pitching for the Stockton Courts in the California 603 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 6: and Bob Feller, He's going to throw up the first 604 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 6: pitch and he was in the locker room on a 605 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 6: day I was started.

That's been that's been the 624 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: highlight of the podcast year for me, was that little 625 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: story he told about Bob Feller. 626 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, at the end of last year we did 627 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: a best of episode where he played the best moment 628 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: from every interview and we didn't award the best of 629 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: the best, but I mean, I think the Jeff Frank 630 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: or Tiger Woods clip where he faked an injury. Bobby 631 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: Cox made him fake an injury in spring training to 632 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: go play golf with Tiger Woods. We've said the story 633 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: a million times, but I think this is very much 634 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: in the running for the best clip of the year. 635 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 3: Right. 636 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm glad we could bring it back up for the podcast. 637 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: Right all right, Dad, I am a seamhead.
