Now Dad, 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: before we jump into takeaway and Cork Jens and Team Tim, 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: we have a lot of great stuff playing for you today. 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: The big news story coming out of Major League Baseball 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: was an announcement made on Tuesday night which was about 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson, among many others, have been 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: taken off Major League Baseball's banned list. This is a 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: huge story, obviously. 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: Yes it is. 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: And I got a text message from a friend of mine, 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: dear friend of mine, who's a grew up in Ohio, 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: huge Reds fan, and he wrote to me, my prayers 29 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: have been answered. 30 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: Pete Rose is in the Hall of Fame. 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: Wow. 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people out there who 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 2: feel exactly the same way, especially those who grew up 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: around the Reds and all. But there are also a 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: lot of people who feel kind of the exact opposite 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: of that. But the one thing we have to make 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: clear here, Jeff, is that Pete Rose is not in 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. He's going to get a chance, 39 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: likely to go on a special Hall of Fame committee ballot. 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: And I've been on those committees, Jeff, four different times. 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: It is a fascinating process. There are sixteen people in 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: the room, and the years that I did it, there 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: were eight former players, like, four executives, and four writers 44 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: flash historians, so it was an eclectic mix of people. 45 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: And the mix is the most important thing. The mix 46 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: will determine whether Pete Rose gets into the Hall of 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: Fame on that ballot, And of course, Jeff, you have 48 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: to get twelve out of sixteen votes seventy five percent 49 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: in order to get in. And let's not forget Jeff, 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: and this is important. Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds went 51 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: on this special committee ballot and they got fewer than four. 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: Votes for the Hall of Fame. 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Wow, after getting in their tenth and final year on 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: the writer's ballot sixty five and sixty six percent of 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: the vote. The point is, former players look at steroid 56 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: users in a more harsh way than maybe even the 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: writers do. 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: And it's I think everyone. 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: Needs to be prepared that if there are indeed eight 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: former players on the committee, they may look at Pete 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: Rose's violations, number one being he bet on baseball as 62 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: something to keep him out of. 63 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: The Hall of Fame. 64 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: So this this point that Pete Rose is now in 65 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame or a slam dunk that he's 66 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: going to get in, I'm not so sure about that. 67 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: So we'll have to be on the lookout. But this big, 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: big news is incredible. Can I ask you said not 69 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: so sure about that? Shoeless Joe Jackson though, I mean 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: that was over one hundred years ago. Do you think 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: he has a chance on this special ballot? 72 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: Well, I think he's going to get strong consideration. And 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: the question is is going to be on the ballot. 74 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: My guess is he will. But back to Pete for 75 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: just a second. Jeff, twenty years ago, I went on 76 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: TV on the ESPN and said I would vote for 77 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: Pete Rose if he were on the Hall of Fame ballot, 78 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: and Frank Robinson, who I had a tremendous relationship with, 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: came up to me and started screaming at me. Screaming 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: at me. He said, I can't believe that you said 81 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: you would vote for that guy for the Hall of Fame. 82 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: He said he violated the number one rule in baseball. 83 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: You do not bet on baseball, period. 84 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: That's it. 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: And he said, if Pete Rose ever gets in the 86 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, I will never go back to the 87 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame for any reason because I will not 88 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: want to be in the same club as him. And again, 89 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Pete and Frank Robinson were teammates with the Reds. The 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: point of this, Jeff, is just to tell you that 91 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: former player have a slightly different look at this than 92 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: the average fan does, certainly. 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: So this is a story that is very, very difficult 94 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: to put together. 95 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: And we're gonna have to go through two years of 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: this now because that ballot is going to be December 97 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty seven before we get a vote on 98 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Pete Rose and shoeless Joe Jackson. 99 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: So this is this is difficult stuff, Jeff. And that's 100 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: the way it works. 101 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: All right, Dad. So now that we've got that out 102 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: of the way and we've discussed that big news, let's 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: go right into the takeaways of what's going on in 104 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Major League. 105 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: He's just a couple of them. 106 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: The Tigers, as you know, have the best record in 107 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: the American League, and one reason. 108 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: Is Hovey Baiez. 109 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: Last year, Hobby Baiez hit one eighty four with an 110 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: OPS of five sixteen. He used to be a really 111 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: good player, Jeff, and then his. 112 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: Career completely derailed. 113 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 2: And now it appears he is making a comeback because 114 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: this year he's hitting three nineteen with an eight seventy OPS. 115 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 2: And on Tuesday night he hit two three run homers, 116 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: including a walk. 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: Off, to beat the Red Sox. This is why baseball 118 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: is so great, Jeff. 119 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: This guy used to be such a good player and 120 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: then kind of disappeared. 121 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: But now he. 122 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: Seems to be back, and he's playing center field every 123 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: day instead of shortstop. So this is why baseball is 124 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: so beautiful. The light goes on, the light goes off, 125 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: there's no telling when, but it looks like he has 126 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: had a rejuvenation of his career. And I love to 127 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: see things like that, and it has really really helped 128 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: the Tigers and speak. 129 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah and yes. I think it's just speaks to the 130 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: difficulty of this game down. Of course, what it comes 131 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: down to is sometimes the best players can have a 132 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: great year and then kind of fade into obscurity right 133 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: after it. 134 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: Again, I mean, it's amazing how difficult this game is 135 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: to play. I try to tell people that, and I'm 136 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: not sure everyone's listening, but it's the one thing that 137 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: I will never ever forget. 138 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: This is the hardest game in the world to play. 139 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'm listening to it. I'm always listening. 140 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: Tuesday night, Jeff, you know, I have nothing else to do. 141 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: I only have one TV. 142 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: In my house, in our house that I can really 143 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: trust on how to find all the channels, because there's 144 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: still three televisions in our house that I don't know 145 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: how to operate, Okay, because poor pop Up is sixty 146 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: eight years old and he just doesn't understand stuff. 147 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: You understand that. 148 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, one hundred percent. 149 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: Okay. 150 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: So I was watching Tuesday night and we had three 151 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: walkoffs in a five minutes span. So I'm jumping from 152 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: game to game looking for games that are in the 153 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: ninth inning. And of course Hobby Bayaz, who we said 154 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: isak Parades, hit a walk off homer for the Astros, 155 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 2: and Justin Turner, the oldest position player in the major leagues, 156 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: hit a walk off for the Cubs. Three walkoffs in 157 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: a five minutes span. This is the point, Jeff, if 158 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: you're really watching closely enough, no matter what night of 159 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 2: the week it is, something crazy might happen. And I'm 160 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: sure this has happened before, but three walk offs in 161 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: a five minutes, man, and I got to see all 162 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: three of them. 163 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: My timing was perfect. It was incredible. 164 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen with your NLB package flipping through those games. 165 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: Let's just say I'm very jealous that I couldn't do that. 166 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great deal and I would be dead 167 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: without it because I'm watching constantly in here. 168 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Well, you'd be dead with that or without your Sirius 169 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: XM in the car.

In fact, 200 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: four of them hit in a row in order. The 201 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: other day Alex called James Wood, Nathaniel Lowe, and Josh Bell. 202 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: So we had four straight guys with four letters in 203 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: their last name.

He is, he is one of the 230 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: captains of the team. 231 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: Well, when we had him on the show, you basically 232 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: crowned him with seamheadedness and he was honored. I thought 233 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: he almost was going to go into tears right right. 234 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: And we have I Am a Seamhead coming up later. 235 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: And last thing for the Corkins Jeff. And again these 236 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: things tickle me more than most.

So we 240 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: had a Burger Martini in playing in the same game 241 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: against each other. Okay, I'm sixty eight years old Jeff, 242 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: and I've had a burger before, but I've never had 243 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 2: a martini. I don't even know what a martini is. Seriously, 244 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: I know there's an olive in it, but what goes 245 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: into making a martini? 246 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: Do you know? 247 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen James Bond ask? 248 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: I've seen it. I'm asking. I know what it looks like. 249 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what it tastes like because I've never 250 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: had one.

I'm 253 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: not a martini drinker. I've had one before, so your 254 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: choice is jenn Er vodka and then it's I think 255 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: it's just vermouth at that point. 256 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: Right, all right, last question, Sip. 257 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: What is in a hamburger? 258 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: Because when you were a kid, I'm not sure you 259 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: even remember this. 260 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: You were such a. 261 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: Picky eater as five year old or so, we would 262 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: we would go to McDonald's and you would order a 263 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: hamburger without the hamburger, so you would just order a 264 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: bun with mustard, pickles and ketchup. Bond and what did 265 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: you call that contraption? 266 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Which was a hangerber. 267 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: It was a hangerber because you couldn't even say hamburger, 268 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: so we used to order a hangerber. Believe me, it's 269 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: never happened to McDonald's ever that somebody has ordered a hamburger. 270 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: Hold the hamburger, just give me the bun, the mustard pickle, 271 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: and the ketchup. 272 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: Only you would. 273 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Order that job, Dad, I have a quirk gin great. 274 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: My buddy John Gay, regular listener of the podcast, also 275 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: is a podcast consultant on the side, so check out 276 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Jagging Detroit if you're looking for any sort of consulting 277 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: with your podcast. He sent me this tweet that was 278 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: from an account called not Gottie. It says, there's only 279 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: been two games in the entirety of Major League Baseball 280 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: history wherein a pitcher went exactly two point one innings, 281 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: allowed exactly twelve base runners, and surrendered exactly eleven runs. 282 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: It's only happened twice. Both of them are Tanner how 283 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: this season? 284 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: Is that right? 285 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: That's amazing? Tanner How is the first Red SoC ever 286 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: to give up eleven or more arn runs in a 287 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 2: start in the same season, and the last two guys 288 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: to do that in any season are Brandon Backy and 289 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: Jason Marquis of the last fifteen to twenty years. So 290 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 2: I know exactly what he's talking about, but I was 291 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: unaware that it was eleven earn runs and two and 292 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: a third when you narrow it down to that. If 293 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: that's indeed true, that is really cool. And again, I 294 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: really worry about people who are starting to look up 295 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: this kind of stuff because it's seductive. Once it grabs you, 296 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: you can't look at a box square not ask like, 297 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: when's the last time that happened? 298 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: I do that every day of my life. 299 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: What's going on on this date in baseball history? 300 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: A right, it's George Brett's birthday today, born in nineteen 301 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: fifty three. Let's make sure it's George Brett.

And he said, I want 309 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: to hit a really hard groundball to the second basement, 310 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: and I want to run as hard as I can 311 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: to first base, just so everyone on my team and 312 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: everyone in the stands recognizes this is how you play 313 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: the game. You never loaf to first base. George Brett 314 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: ran hard to first base every single time I saw 315 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: him play. 316 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: Good lesson there, Jeff.

Okay, 324 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: so number eleven. He's playing in a group seventeen. The 325 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: entire match is rolling, is riding on the seventeenth hole, 326 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: a par three.

Will 345 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: are we talking about, hey, Zeus or Jesus? 346 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: Right? 347 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Dan Patrick. 348 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: And happy birthday to aj Hinch, the manager of the Tigers. 349 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: Born in nineteen seventy four. 350 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: Jef the only manager in Major league history that it's 351 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: gone by his initials Ajinch. No one else in the 352 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 2: Major League has ever managed a team in the Major 353 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: leagues and gone by his initials. And by the way, 354 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 2: Joey Korra, one of the coaches for the Tigers, told 355 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 2: me in the postseason last year. Aj Hinch is the 356 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: best strategists I've ever seen in my life as a manager. 357 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: And Joey played a long time, he's been a coach, 358 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: He's been around a lot of people. And Alex Kora, 359 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: a great strategist, is Joey's brother, and he still puts 360 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: aj Hinch ahead of himself. Just let's make sure we 361 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: understand the Tigers will never be out foxed or out 362 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: prepared in a game because aj Hinch and his coaching 363 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: staff got this cover. Also nineteen forty one, on this day, 364 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: Joe DiMaggio started his fifty six game hitting streak Jeff, 365 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 2: which will never be approached. Remember Pete Rose we mentioned earlier, 366 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: hitting forty four straight games. It was an amazing accomplishment 367 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 2: and he was still a hit every day for two 368 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: weeks short of Joe Demaggio. 369 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 3: You get that right. 370 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: It's one of those records I think, along with Cal Ripken, 371 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: that's just never going to be touched. 372 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 3: It's never going to be broken. It's too hard to 373 00:18:59,560 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: get hit. 374 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: And in those fifty six straight games, Jeff he struck 375 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: out five times and I believe no times in the 376 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: final thirty two games, of a fifty six game hitting streak. 377 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: How amazing is that? 378 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: That's crazy? 379 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 3: Right? 380 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: And last thing, Nolan Ryan on this date in nineteen 381 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 2: seventy three pitched a no hitter, his first of seven 382 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: no hitters, a record. Nolan Ryan, of course, is the 383 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: greatest power pitcher of all time, the hardest pitcher to hit, 384 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: all time strikeout king, and one of the most beloved 385 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: people ever to play the game, unless, of course, you 386 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: dug in against him and showed him up on the mound, 387 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: then he would buzz the tower as quick as anybody. 388 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: We have a lot coming your way on is this 389 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: a great game or what? We've got a best of 390 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: all ten? Which will be the best player to play 391 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Rays. So we'll dive into that. 392 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: Ozzie de orl the best players at fifteen and sixteen 393 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: on their backs. I am a seamhead and then a 394 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: little special team Tim for us all coming up next 395 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: on it it's a great game? Or what? All right? 396 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: Dad? 397 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: Best of all Tim the Tampa Bay Rays today? Who 398 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: is the best player to play for the. 399 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay This is a huge debate. 400 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: It's either Carl Crawford or Evan Longoria, but I'm going 401 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: with Evan Longoria, and he just signed a one year 402 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 2: deal this week with the Rays so he could retire 403 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: as Ray, because he's told now he played ten years 404 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: for the Rays, had an eight to twenty three ops, 405 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: hit two seventy hit, two hundred and sixty one homers, 406 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: great defensive third baseman, and he basically put the Rays 407 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: on the map. They started to win when he showed up. 408 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 2: Carl Crawford's numbers are probably probably better across the board. 409 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: But Evan Longoria, to me, is the greatest Ray ever 410 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 2: and I love this more than I should. Jeff, but 411 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 2: he told me once that he went to like a 412 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: concert or a play. And you know, when you get 413 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: on your credit card statement, like when you go in, 414 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 2: like you go into an event, sometimes they cut off 415 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: your first name is only three letters, which would be 416 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: no problem, it would be tim if it were me, 417 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: But for him, they cut off the last letter. So 418 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: he went to that concert with a ticket that said 419 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: Eva Longoria, which she, of course is one of the 420 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: most beautiful women ever and a famous actress and everything. 421 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 2: So he told me that people somehow found this out 422 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 2: and they saw tickets and said, oh my god, Eva 423 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: Longoria is here, and they went right to his seat 424 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: and it wasn't her because it was because they cut 425 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 2: the end. 426 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: Off of his name. 427 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: I don't know why I got such a big kick 428 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 2: out of that, but Eva Longoria is the best Tampa 429 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: Bay ray ever in a huge debate, but that's who 430 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: I'm going with. 431 00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: Dad. 432 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: You watch a little bit of Desperate Housewives with Mom 433 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: back in the day, right, Yes, of course? 434 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 435 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: And I mean I remember, Oh, I missed those days 436 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: of cable television. I know there's still shows coming out 437 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: on cable, but remember how excited you would get when 438 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: a show like it would be Thursday, like our whole family. 439 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: We watched Lost, we watched twenty four. You remember I 440 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: missed those days. 441 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: I'm the same days where I knew how to work 442 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: the television because we have these smart TVs in our 443 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 2: house and I'm so stupid. I don't even know how 444 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 2: to use it. No, Dad, it's an Internet TV. 445 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: What does that mean? 446 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: I just want to turn on and know where the 447 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 2: channel is and hit channel up or channel down. It 448 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: doesn't work that way at several TVs in our house. 449 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: You have never been more relatable than you are right now. 450 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: And I mean that is a compliment. Oh even I 451 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: at age thirty one, Dad, you can never operate another 452 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: man's television. I just don't know how it works. 453 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: In fact, I last time I visited your house, you 454 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: went to bed. I try to work the TV for 455 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: like twenty minutes, had not even come close to getting 456 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: anything on your television other than some menu that I 457 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: couldn't comprehend. 458 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 3: It was so bad. 459 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you ended up on the Nature channel, didn't you, 460 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: or something like that. 461 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 3: It was bad, all right. 462 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: All right, Dad? From Ozzie to Oral, we've been lining 463 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: up every single number one through fifty five, Ozzie Smith, 464 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: fifty five being Oral Hertscheizer. We're now on number fifteen. 465 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: Who is the best player of all time to wear 466 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: number six? 467 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: Acain? 468 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 2: Another really tricky one, and I'm interested in what our 469 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 2: our listeners and our viewers to have to say about this, 470 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: But I'm going with Carlos Beltron, and I'm putting him 471 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: in ahead of Dick Allen, Jim Edmonds, Dustin PEDROI. It's 472 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: a pretty darn good list, which we will list the 473 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: all number fifteen at the end of the show today. 474 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: But I'm going with Beltron based on career value two 475 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: seventy nine hitter fourn thirty five homers, three hundred and 476 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: twelve stolen bases, ops of eight thirty seven Jets, and 477 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: one of the greatest postseason players that I have ever seen. 478 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: His postseason OPS. 479 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 3: Is one point zero two one. 480 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: So based on that, I'm putting Carlos Beltron as the 481 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: greatest Number fifteen ever. If anyone has an argument, please 482 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 2: make your argument. I understand there are about five candidates 483 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: for this, but I'm going with Beltron. 484 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, he's known as the new Mister October, 485 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: so he. 486 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: Kind of send his prime. It was absurd. 487 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 2: It was like watching Mickey Mantle in his prime when 488 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 2: he was tearing it up for especially for the Houston 489 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 2: Astros in the postseason. 490 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: What about number sixteen? Who's the greatest player to wear that? 491 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 3: All right, this is easy for me. 492 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: Uh Whitey Ford, of course, won two hundred and thirty 493 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: six games for the Yankees, two point seven five ERA 494 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: and a winning percentage of six ninety. 495 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: He is the only. 496 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: Pitcher in the history of baseball, Jeff that won that 497 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: many games with an ERA that low, with a winning 498 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 2: percentage that high. It's that's how good Whitey Ford was 499 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 2: and he won ten World Series games all by himself. 500 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: Jeff. 501 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: There are a lot of teams, there are a lot 502 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 2: of franchises that have never won ten World Series games. 503 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: That's how many Whitey Ford won by himself. The chairman 504 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: of the board is what they called. And down the street, Jeff, 505 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: when I was growing up, mister Lynch used to live 506 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: down the street. Love mister Lynch. And when he was 507 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 2: in the army or navy. He actually he was in 508 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: the Navy. I believe he caught Whitey Ford like on 509 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 2: the side in order to keep Whitey's arm So mister 510 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 2: Lynch caught Whitey Ford. 511 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 3: And I once asked him, mister Lynch, what was that like? 512 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: And he said, Tim, it's unbelievable, he said, all I 513 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: would just set up my catcher's mitt wherever I wanted to, 514 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: and he would hit it every single time. He said, 515 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 2: it was like the most amazing thing he's ever seen. 516 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: That's whity for it for you. 517 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: And I mean when you consider the military service as well. 518 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's so hard because you look 519 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: at like Ted Williams and he he would have had, 520 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: you know, seven hundred homers if he hadn't served in 521 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: the war, right, So that's always something to consider when 522 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: going through these players, is those who have served. I 523 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: am a seamhead, Dad. This is one of our new 524 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: segments this season where you can send me a voice memo, 525 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: email me Jeff at Great Game or what dot com. 526 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: You can just record it on your phone and hit 527 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: email Jeff at Great Game or what dot com and 528 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: explain to us why you are a seamhead. Shouting out 529 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: this week Ryan Bauer. So, Ryan left us a voice 530 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: memo about one an insane game that he attended with 531 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: his dad, So you're gonna hear that. But also it 532 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: was a little unclear in the voice memo what exactly 533 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: he was trying to explain, But I want to make 534 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: sure everybody understands just how much of a seam had 535 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: him and his coworker Art Dad, they put together a 536 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: list and he sent me the spreadsheet of the players 537 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: that have the largest year differential playing for the same 538 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: team for one season. So that means basically veteran and 539 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: rookie cross over and the highest year different differential would 540 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: be fifty two seasons. And I'm going to quiz you, Dad, 541 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: see if you know which two players played at least 542 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: one season together, but then a total of fifty two 543 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: years they played Major League Baseball? Am I explaining? 544 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: And I just love that two co workers would spend 545 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: their time on something like this. Okay, I need a clue, jet, 546 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: I need a year, I need a seam a year. 547 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: We'll start with the Chicago White Sox, so before I 548 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: go pretty. 549 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: Much in the news with the pope Leo and everything else, 550 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: right big time. 551 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: I mean, if pope Leo is sixty nine, that means 552 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: he was born in probably fifty five, so he very 553 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: much knows these guys. I'm not going to give you 554 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: too much of a clue, Dad, just the who's a 555 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: guy who played for the White Sox who played in 556 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: an obscene amount of time of Major League baseball? 557 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: Uh? 558 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: Well, Mini Minoso. Mini Minoso played until he was like 559 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: one hundred. He didn't play full time, but so it 560 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 2: has to be Minni Minoso, you got it right? 561 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 3: And so that. 562 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 2: Was nineteen what eighty, nineteen eighty? 563 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he ended in nineteen eighty. He made his debut 564 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty nine, so he technically played in four decades, 565 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: the forties, the fifties, the sixties, to seventy five. 566 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 3: Five in the eighties. 567 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: Okay, that's unbelievable. He crossed paths with a twenty one 568 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: year Major League Baseball veteran. 569 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: Who was started eighty White Sox. 570 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: He was on the eighty White Sox. He was a rookie. 571 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: He started his career for the White Sox. And you 572 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: take a guess, that's that's Harold Baines. Harold bains correct, 573 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: my friend. All right, So glad, fifty two year differential Dad, 574 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: the next being fifty one year differential for the then 575 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians. That would be Tommy John and crossover with 576 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: early win. 577 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: Wow, that is so great. I'd winch stuff like that. 578 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: Also, you need to do a all winning team like 579 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: at all you did the crappy names for a pitcher. 580 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: You need to do a positive names for pictures and 581 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: matters because early win. 582 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: Right, early win win Remerswaal, Yes, I can do that, Jeff, 583 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: that's amazing. 584 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 585 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: I have nothing else to do. So those are the 586 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 2: things I do. 587 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: And I want to pay attention to one he put up, 588 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: which I believe is forty seven years, which would be 589 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: the crossover. This one just blows my mind. Making his 590 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: debut nineteen sixty six, played until nineteen ninety three. It 591 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: was Nolan Ryan crossing over with Jamie Moyer. 592 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I love. 593 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: That for forty seven years, So let's throw it over 594 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: to our seam heead. Today it's Ryan Bauer to explain 595 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: that game with his dad and a little bit more 596 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: about his seam headedness. 597 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 4: My story goes like this. I called my dad on 598 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 4: a Tuesday and asked him if he wanted to go 599 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 4: to that Knight's Braves game since Randy Johnson was pitching 600 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 4: for the Diamondbacks. My dad taught me to keep scorer 601 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 4: of games as a child, and I decided I wanted 602 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: to do that as a twenty four year old. I 603 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 4: enjoyed that, but I looked down at my scorecard in 604 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 4: the sixth and said, Wow, Randy Johnson is pitching a 605 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 4: no hit a perfect game. That night, Randy was perfect. 606 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: My dad is thankfully still with us, but that will 607 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 4: go down as one of my favorite memories with him, 608 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 4: and only a game like baseball could have that impact. Additionally, 609 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 4: a coworker and I put together a game to see 610 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: what two players careers could span together the longest. Jeff 611 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 4: may have referenced it, but only a game like baseball 612 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: could do that. My name is Ryan Bauer, and I 613 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 4: am a seam head. 614 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 3: See. 615 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to go into a little more detail than 616 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: he was able to because I tell people try to 617 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: keep your messages short, and he did just that. So Ryan, 618 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: you are and your coworker are seam heads. 619 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: And sure, thank you for your contribution.

This is what separates baseball from a lot 623 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: of other sports, maybe all other sports. 624 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: You know, I need to ask Ryan what he does 625 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: for a living, because I'm not surprised that that happens 626 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: at ESPN with your and I mean this respectfully, nerdy 627 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: other seam head friends like yourself, like those of Mark 628 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Simon and these guys who love the game as much 629 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: as you do. But I mean, I would love to 630 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: hear that he works at a pharmaceutical company. 631 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 3: Yes, who knows? Who knows? All right? 632 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Dad, So you have a team tim planned for us. 633 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: Well, it's May the fifteen, and today we had Carlos 634 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: Beltron as the number one fifteen of all time very debatable, 635 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: So I came up with the All fifteen team catcher 636 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: Thurman Munson. Also in the discussion for the greatest fifteen ever, 637 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: Thurman Munson won an MVP. One of the great players, 638 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: one of the great catchers we've ever seen. Life cut 639 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: short as we know.

We say 644 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: Carlos Beltron, Jim Edmonds.

Tim Salmon 647 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: wore number fifteen for his entire career among the fifteens. 648 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: Jeff Okay, just among the fifteens, all right, so he 649 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: never wore another number other than fifteen. And tell me 650 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: about Tim Salmon, what you know about him relating to 651 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: your wife, Emily.

So that's my fifteen on May the fifteen, 661 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: all fifteen teen. 662 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: I love that. 663 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: This is and last thing, Jeff, before we go. We 664 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: don't have a show on May the seventeenth, which is 665 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: this week is a Saturday. But since we've been talking 666 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: so much about the White Sox with Harold Vains and 667 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: Minnie Minoso and Pope Leo and you know all this, 668 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: we have to mention that Saturday is Carlos May's birthday. 669 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 2: Carlos May wore number seventeen when he played for the 670 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: White Sox and his birthday is on May seventeen. So 671 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: what is that optic for you. 672 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: Jeff, Well, his jersey on the back would say May, 673 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: his last name, and seventeen, which is his birthday. 674 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: So Carlos May had his name, his number, and his 675 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: birthday on his back.
