Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our three.
Speaker 2: Where does the time go on this show? Man WHOA
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show August fourteenth is simply irresistible Friday, Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for having me. Man Cave sitting has
Speaker 2: been a dream, and it's been a joy, honestly doing
Speaker 2: it right here, taking your calls eight seven seven three
Speaker 2: DP Show. Go to Danpatrick dot com, Go to DP
Speaker 2: show on Twitter. We're live on Peacock, NBC Sports Network,
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio in four hundred international cities, Country States,
Speaker 2: City States, Ships at Sea, Rockets Canada. Even I think
Speaker 2: they were included in something I just said right there.
Speaker 2: Football's here, guys, first week of preseason football and chance
Speaker 2: to fall in love. I fell in love with Jeremiah
Speaker 2: Love last night. I fell in love with him in college,
Speaker 2: of course. But I saw the vision, and that's what
Speaker 2: preseason week one does. Do you see the vision? Are
Speaker 2: you listening? It's like that little appetizer you have right
Speaker 2: before you sit down for meet Friday, which you're about
Speaker 2: to do later, but meet your new NFL team. Jeremiah
Speaker 2: Love caught my eye yesterday. Joe Burrow getting sacked in
Speaker 2: this first possession with Cincinnati. That caught my eye in
Speaker 2: not so great way and not predicting anything from that.
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson interception first possession, not exactly as false a
Speaker 2: fumble later on. He's making highlights every time he comes
Speaker 2: out on the field, two highlights, one for his team
Speaker 2: and one for the other team. And that's something you
Speaker 2: see in the preseason, and then you don't see it
Speaker 2: too much in the regular season because then you're not playing.
Speaker 2: Fernando mendo is our first look. Lots of light. They're
Speaker 2: throwing the ball in the middle of the fields into
Speaker 2: tight windows. And then we had Jeremiah Love, my first love.
Speaker 2: Gave me a little Isaiah Pacheco with his disgust for
Speaker 2: the dirt, trying to step as hard as he can,
Speaker 2: and the little Adrian Peterson. There would be one more Paulie.
Speaker 2: You know he's a Pennsylvania guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think high school in Ohio, plays at penn State.
Speaker 3: Got him late in the draft of Steelers. We were
Speaker 3: at the draft and when the Steelers picked them, they're like,
Speaker 3: there was a mark. There was an ovation, a bit
Speaker 3: of a mild ovation, Yes, absolutely mild.
Speaker 2: Can you have a mild ovation?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was a smattering of a movation, right, I mean
Speaker 2: you would call that highly touted. Things went sideways for
Speaker 2: Penn State so fast last year. Now, he dropped in
Speaker 2: the draft, but he only dropped at third round. Wasn't
Speaker 2: he dropped to the fifth round and it was a freebie.
Speaker 2: But his final numbers at Penn State we heard him
Speaker 2: before he went on the show, and it was over
Speaker 2: sixty touchdowns and low teens interceptions, And I said, that
Speaker 2: can't be right. It didn't feel like that got injurted
Speaker 2: his senior year. That team went sideways. But Drue Ell
Speaker 2: or somebody maybe to watch going on in the rest
Speaker 2: of this preseason. That's what we have here around the
Speaker 2: man Cave. I've been waiting for this. We're gonna set
Speaker 2: the rules here because this is gonna maybe resemble a
Speaker 2: program you have seen on a mother in law ship
Speaker 2: network for many years. But let's branch out a little
Speaker 2: bit here. This is gonna be head to head, one
Speaker 2: to one matchup, and I'm viewing the matchups now before me.
Speaker 2: Paul versus Marvin Fritzy verse Dylan first round. Around the
Speaker 2: man Cave, the man making the argument can choose his
Speaker 2: best take football related for fifteen seconds. So Paulie, Marvin,
Speaker 2: you can take your own take. You don't have to
Speaker 2: argue the same topic. Just give me your best fifteen seconds.
Speaker 2: Remember this is round one because round two is gonna
Speaker 2: have a wrinkle. And around the man cave, let's get
Speaker 2: a on the clock, Paulie, your best football take fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3: I saw an article the other day who is the
Speaker 3: Indiana Hoosiers of college football this year? And I got
Speaker 3: the answer to that. Nobody remember what the Hoosiers did
Speaker 3: last year. I still can't believe it happens. Sixteen to
Speaker 3: zero Heisman winner Kurt Signetti. It's one of the great
Speaker 3: stories in sports history. They you know, many ten win
Speaker 3: seasons they had in the last one hundred and twenty years.
Speaker 3: None none, ten win seasons before Signette got there. There
Speaker 3: is no next Indiana. It's one of one.
Speaker 2: I was gonna try to ring the gong for the
Speaker 2: end of that, but that's fine. Yes, okay, Marvin, around
Speaker 2: the man Cave to you, fifteen seconds, your best, Prince take.
Speaker 5: The Houston Texans are going to the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 5: I think they're very reminiscent of the two thousand Ravens
Speaker 5: or maybe the eighty five bears for Paulie. I think
Speaker 5: that CJ. Stroud's gonna have a big year. He's going
Speaker 5: into a year where he needs to play big to
Speaker 5: get that big extension that he wants. And with Will Anderson, Junior, Stingley,
Speaker 5: all those guys, they are ready and they are poised
Speaker 5: to make a big play this year.
Speaker 2: Hot take round one, score Marvin one, Paulie zero. Paulie's
Speaker 2: strong argument meant to college football, which all allowed still
Speaker 2: in the worlds of football. Could have been an email,
Speaker 2: could have been an email around the man cave, Fritzy
Speaker 2: versus Dylan. Here we go, any take you're fired on
Speaker 2: here fifteen seconds on the clock, Fritzy first to you.
Speaker 6: Since I'm wearing the gear, I'm gonna dive all in.
Speaker 6: And I've seen these tears about the top quarterbacks in
Speaker 6: the league. I think a certain Denver Bronco team was
Speaker 6: the one seed in the AFC. No one's got them anywhere,
Speaker 6: and if you look at any rankings, they're nowhere near
Speaker 6: the super Bowl. They're looked at as a mediocre team.
Speaker 6: I know they have a very tough schedule, especially the
Speaker 6: first half of the season, but I am personally insulted,
Speaker 6: as should Bronco Nation and Bronco maniacs everywhere. The Denver
Speaker 6: Broncos looked at it as a slightly above average team
Speaker 6: that's not going to get anywhere near the super Bowl
Speaker 6: and bo Nicks is maybe put in the middle a
Speaker 6: longrest quarterback.
Speaker 2: I think you went twenty five there, Fritzy. You think
Speaker 2: I went shorted In the other two guys around the
Speaker 2: man Cave, Dylan Grady.
Speaker 7: I think Daniel Jones is going to be an MVP
Speaker 7: candidate this season.
Speaker 2: Oh there is coming off this take.
Speaker 7: Oh, my friend, right now, he probably has the best
Speaker 7: job security he's had in his career. Obviously, we saw
Speaker 7: last night Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard not exactly banging
Speaker 7: on the door.
Speaker 2: They have a great tight end than Tyler Warren.
Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor still a stud, and we saw what they
Speaker 7: were capable of at the beginning of last season when
Speaker 7: they were the best team in the NFL for a bit.
Speaker 7: If they can just maintain that and he cannot fumble,
Speaker 7: I don't know, Patty, thing could happen.
Speaker 2: A working title for Around the Mancave was convinced me.
Speaker 2: I am simply vinced by that not convinced. I'm just vinced.
Speaker 2: Points Fritzy. There we go. Ah, that's round one one
Speaker 2: nothing Fritzy over to three not two rules in round two, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: stay with me. We're around the mancave. Round two. Here's
Speaker 2: the new rule, the wrinkle. The opponent now picks the topic.
Speaker 2: One must argue for their hot take fifteen seconds. Paul's
Speaker 2: going to be making the argument, which means, Marvin, you're
Speaker 2: telling him what he pass through?
Speaker 4: Are you?
Speaker 5: LSU winning the national title in college football this season?
Speaker 2: Ohoa, put it on the clock fifteen seconds, can't even
Speaker 2: think about it.
Speaker 3: Let's go bully the best story in college football. We'd
Speaker 3: be for Lane Kiffin, the villain of the sport, to
Speaker 3: outdo expectations this year and be in the national title game.
Speaker 3: The entire country would line up to root against LSU.
Speaker 3: And you need villains. It doesn't matter who he's facing
Speaker 3: the title game. Most people would root for that team.
Speaker 3: It would be beautiful and it could happen.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 2: And if it did happen, would that make him this
Speaker 2: year's Indiana? No, because you told me that it's not
Speaker 2: even possible. WHOA but no, very strong. I think you
Speaker 2: liked it very strong take here, Marvin, you're up and
Speaker 2: Paul's gonna give you your topic for take around the
Speaker 2: man Cave. Go.
Speaker 3: This is based on Marvin's love for Yukon basketball. Your
Speaker 3: take is Danny Hurley should have left and taken the
Speaker 3: Lakers job when offered.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
Speaker 5: Because you end up seeing what happened, you'll know.
Speaker 2: You have to make the case for it. Marvin, he
Speaker 2: pulled the strategy you were not aware of. Yes, you
Speaker 2: have to convince me, make the case for Danny Hurley
Speaker 2: taking the Lakers job.
Speaker 5: All right, So when he was gonna leave Yu Kond
Speaker 5: and go to the Lakers, he would have Luca Austin
Speaker 5: Reeves and Lebron James and the way.
Speaker 2: He My goodness, this is so tough.
Speaker 5: He con his offenses, Paul, he got in Marvin's kitchen.
Speaker 2: In that right, there is a two point swing. Oh,
Speaker 2: Pops has come on and emerged from his matchup with Marvin. Yes,
Speaker 2: this is you have to convince me. Around the man
Speaker 2: Cave convinced me. Addition, Paul, that was a veteran maneuver
Speaker 2: like like my parent. We've never seen before. Wow, thank you.
Speaker 2: You will advance to the title round here who will
Speaker 2: he meet Fritz or Dylan around the man cave. And
Speaker 2: now we have an opportunity here, Dylan, to throw whatever
Speaker 2: you want at Fritzy and he's got to give you
Speaker 2: a fifteen second convinced me argument.
Speaker 7: Well, Todd, convince me why Peyton Manning should get credit
Speaker 7: for the Broncos Super Bowl win.
Speaker 6: The mere presence of Peyton Manning and the confidence that
Speaker 6: he exudes, and you see him changing the play at
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. As great as the defense was,
Speaker 6: it me need have been overhyped the whole you know.
Speaker 6: And they basically they look at Peyton Manning and they
Speaker 6: know we're gonna score a certain amount of points. He's
Speaker 6: gonna find a way to get us in the end
Speaker 6: zone and we're gonna be just fined because Number eighteen's
Speaker 6: in charge, and just his presence alone is enough to
Speaker 6: make sure you're gonna get one more point than the
Speaker 6: other team.
Speaker 2: You are so strong and then you win double time. Ah,
Speaker 2: do we have to walk that back? We'll see, we'll
Speaker 2: see very strong argument, Dylan. I like the strategy in
Speaker 2: your choice. And now Fritzy, I gotta return fire, return
Speaker 2: fire with fire.
Speaker 6: Make the argument why You're Baltimore Ravens not only will
Speaker 6: not win the AFC North, it could easily finish no
Speaker 6: better than third in the division.
Speaker 2: I can very easily make that argument.
Speaker 7: Last year they lost to the Steelers to miss the
Speaker 7: playoffs on the last second kick. So obviously the AFC
Speaker 7: North it's always a razor thin margin. The Bengals are
Speaker 7: gonna be probably the best they've been in three years
Speaker 7: this season. The Browns don't count. Who cares but the Steelers.
Speaker 7: I think Aaron Rodgers might actually have a little left
Speaker 7: in the tank this year. I could see the Ravens
Speaker 7: finishing third, no problem.
Speaker 2: Dylan. It almost seems like you've mentally prepared yourself for
Speaker 2: that result. I you know, I thought Todd might go
Speaker 2: somewhere in the Ravens department. I didn't know what. But interesting,
Speaker 2: interesting final ruling Fritzy for the win there. I am
Speaker 2: impressed in how much he got to Peyton Manning and
Speaker 2: the real reality of how Peyton did lead that team.
Speaker 2: And now we've got a final championship Paul versus Fritzy.
Speaker 2: Here we're into the third round of Around the man Cave,
Speaker 2: and this is convinced me. Now and once again it
Speaker 2: will be your opponent who tells you the topic. It
Speaker 2: could be football, it could be any sport, it could
Speaker 2: be outside of sports. Question mark Fritzy an opportunity to
Speaker 2: give Paul the question first.
Speaker 6: With the Chicago Bears, his Chicago Bears playing I guess
Speaker 6: in Indiana. Convince us why there might be some Bears
Speaker 6: fans that aren't gonna be as passionate about their Bears
Speaker 6: because they're no longer playing in Chicago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bears fans gonna be quite upset if they go
Speaker 3: to Indiana because that's not the state of Illinois, much
Speaker 3: less the city of Chicago, and exporting this team from
Speaker 3: the beautiful location they have on the Lake is indefensible
Speaker 3: and will be met with despair by Bears fans because
Speaker 3: that's the next fifty years of the team. It's a
Speaker 3: horrible decision, and Bears fans will revolt.
Speaker 4: I was strong.
Speaker 2: There was flames, flames on the side of his face
Speaker 2: coming out of Paul. There. If we can go back
Speaker 2: and look at his face while delivering that, Fritzy had
Speaker 2: released the topic, and within a fraction of a second,
Speaker 2: Paul was locked in mode. All right, Fritzy getta locked
Speaker 2: in here? Paul's gonna give it back to you, and
Speaker 2: this will decide around the man Cave. Any topic in
Speaker 2: the world, and you have to convince me, Paulie. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry for Fritzy, and Paulie's in charge of the topic,
Speaker 2: Paul what will be the job.
Speaker 3: At their peak? The best quarterback I've ever seen playing
Speaker 3: the quarterback position was Dan Marino, not John Elway.
Speaker 6: Dan Marino was extra special. I remember a game on
Speaker 6: Monday Night Football against the Jets where he pretended he
Speaker 6: was gonna snap the ball and I have to take
Speaker 6: a knee, and then he threw a touch on pairs.
Speaker 6: Dan Marino, that look, that smiled, that ten That's all
Speaker 6: you need to know about Dan Marino.
Speaker 4: Elway.
Speaker 2: He granted he brought.
Speaker 6: Some teams that were terrible to the Super Bowl, but
Speaker 6: they also got blown out in all those Super Bowls.
Speaker 6: Dan Marino is sexy with the curly hair, and he's
Speaker 6: all about Miami. And Dan Marino was just the most
Speaker 6: awesome thing that ever played.
Speaker 2: Did you convince me, Fritzy? Do you believe it in
Speaker 2: your heart of hearts? I don't. A wise man once
Speaker 2: said Fritzy, it's not a lie if you believe it.
Speaker 2: You did not believe it. Today's winner, Paul Pops. It's
Speaker 2: a comeback story. He was down in round one. He
Speaker 2: turns it around and he has emerged victorious in today's
Speaker 2: edition of Man Cave thirty seconds now to talk about
Speaker 2: whatever you want, Paulie, Please, floor's yours.
Speaker 3: You know I'm gonna talk about you, Tony Reality. It's
Speaker 3: lovely to have you here in the Man Cave, and
Speaker 3: you're built for TV, and it's great to have you
Speaker 3: on TV. In step taking this moment, I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: a moment to tease the next guest we have on

Speaker 2: sitting in for Dan who's about to walk his daughter
Speaker 2: down the aisle. That's a beautiful thing. And I am
Speaker 2: here for two days. Some man cave sits and defined
Speaker 2: folks here. Paulie Fritzy, Dylan Marvin and everybody have given
Speaker 2: me a gift, an opportunity to talk to my hero
Speaker 2: growing up, and thank you for that. Guys. I don't
Speaker 2: even understand how this came to be, but now I
Speaker 2: have to be professional with a cracked voice and say,
Speaker 2: Dave Winfield, my name is Anthony Joseph Paul really, and
Speaker 2: I am pleasure, is my pleasure to meet.
Speaker 4: You, Tony. How you doing?
Speaker 2: There's a voice? Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Dave Winfield twelve
Speaker 2: times and Major League Baseball All Star, Hall of Famer
Speaker 2: three thousand hits, four hundred and sixty five home runs,
Speaker 2: author of a book which I want to talk about
Speaker 2: and see if I can ask you, if it hasn't
Speaker 2: been done yet, please you have to do the audio
Speaker 2: reading of your book. Okay, because your voice, your voice,
Speaker 2: you did. There we go, Thank you, David. Your voice
Speaker 2: is actually important to me in the origin story of me. Anthony. Really,
Speaker 2: I loved you as a player. You were big, strong,
Speaker 2: and everything athletic. I was little small and I didn't
Speaker 2: grow until I was nineteen years old. I had a
Speaker 2: squeaky voice and glasses that I was Anthony really talking
Speaker 2: about the yikes And that's what I would do with
Speaker 2: a Fisher Price microphone in front of the game every
Speaker 2: day as Phil Rizuta was calling the game and Bill
Speaker 2: White were calling the game, and you were there. You
Speaker 2: were the opposite of me. You were big, strong. I
Speaker 2: heard your voice for the first time in a postgame
Speaker 2: interview and I said, that's what a man sounds like.
Speaker 2: And I say that, and I had my dad and
Speaker 2: my grandparents my life. They had beautiful voices too. But
Speaker 2: thank you. Thank you. Sometimes with heroes, of course, they
Speaker 2: never know the impact that they have on people. Now
Speaker 2: have a chance to tell you that. I want to
Speaker 2: tell you that you showed me the opposite side of it,
Speaker 2: and that helps me grow up to the man I
Speaker 2: am today. That there's Tony.
Speaker 4: I appreciate. I appreciate hearing that. Really, you know, I've
Speaker 4: been fortunate in life, blessed that I was able to
Speaker 4: do something for a career and a life that I
Speaker 4: always dreamed about doing. And you know, not only just
Speaker 4: as a player, but I guess maybe it was where
Speaker 4: I come from, my hometown, my family upbringing. The career
Speaker 4: was about doing things for other folks, too, service to others.
Speaker 4: It wasn't just about me. I mean, I wanted to
Speaker 4: reach my potential and I always knew that. You know,
Speaker 4: if I hit two ten or two twenty, ain't nobody listen.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe now Dave. Dave, that would be enough to
Speaker 2: enough to get you through an All Star appearance.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, yeah, But I did have the career even
Speaker 4: more than I ever dreamed of. And as you say,
Speaker 4: as you see we're talking here today where we do
Speaker 4: mention my book, man, I have an interesting life, and
Speaker 4: I never really shared all of the intimate stories and
Speaker 4: things that make up my life. People think they know it,
Speaker 4: people in New York because that was in the headlines
Speaker 4: all the time, and there was conflicts with George Steinberner
Speaker 4: and that time. But I cover those kinds of things,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna take you behind the curtain, you know,
Speaker 4: into the rooms where those intimate discussions were had and
Speaker 4: we were with square off in the squares circle and
Speaker 4: do what we had to do.
Speaker 2: I was always with you, Dave. I was on your
Speaker 2: side no matter I appreciate it. The book is Touching
Speaker 2: All the Bases. A story of Power, Purpose and Surviving
Speaker 2: the Bronx by Dave Winfielden's released September fifteenth. Wherever you
Speaker 2: get books. You said something, Dave, that is my code
Speaker 2: in life. We are sympotical in this. You want to
Speaker 2: feel better about yourself, do something for other people. And
Speaker 2: how you have had an opportunity through your skill as
Speaker 2: a baseball player, through your literal voice as a man
Speaker 2: now who has been through things in life and wants
Speaker 2: to share and make the road easier for other people.
Speaker 2: That's so admirable and I adore that in anybody now.
Speaker 2: To know that my hero does that makes my life
Speaker 2: feel even more full circle. Can you take me back
Speaker 2: to the eighties with the I didn't know you in
Speaker 2: the seventies with the pods, and at that point you
Speaker 2: had already proven yourself to be one of the great
Speaker 2: athletes in the game. But the eighties in New York,
Speaker 2: for me, the coverage around you and I was firmly
Speaker 2: on your side, But I never understood why it was
Speaker 2: so conflicted as a young man. What was that.
Speaker 4: The guy I worked for who on the team the Yankees,
Speaker 4: was just a mercurial type of guy who was used
Speaker 4: to running the show and bullying people. And you know
Speaker 4: when I do I mentioned this, Look, there's some tough
Speaker 4: things that I had topics that I cover here. I
Speaker 4: but it's also it's not about me ripping somebody a
Speaker 4: new backside, because there's a lot of things about redemption
Speaker 4: in here and you know, discussions that we've had beyond
Speaker 4: what you saw in the newspapers. But George Steinbern and
Speaker 4: he just he told me early on basically, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to respect the contract that we have and if
Speaker 4: you don't like it, sue me. I can't. I can't.
Speaker 4: I'm going to give it to you, just straight up.
Speaker 4: And that's a month into it, and so I had
Speaker 4: to live with the consequences and the things for almost
Speaker 4: ten years after that. So it was a kind of
Speaker 4: a toxic, very toxic workplace. Every day I went to
Speaker 4: work hard to believe really putting up those numbers, and
Speaker 4: people always ask me, Dave, how did you survive? How
Speaker 4: did you thrive? Why did you stay? What enabled you
Speaker 4: to stay and ultimately become the player that you were,
Speaker 4: you know you set out to be. So I cover
Speaker 4: a lot of ground in this, but overall, I'll just
Speaker 4: say this, My book will cover sports, business, philanthropy, family
Speaker 4: and community. So I'm touching all the bases and I
Speaker 4: think it's going to be inspiring, motivational, celebratory, and I
Speaker 4: look forward to it being on the market.
Speaker 2: Dave Winfield joining us on the Dan Patrick Show. I'm
Speaker 2: Tony really sitting in for Dan for the day. This
Speaker 2: was a surprise. Dave was my childhood hero and as
Speaker 2: I'm learning now and I can't read wait to read
Speaker 2: the book, were a hero too, as he's talking about
Speaker 2: self growth and redemption and doing things for other people.
Speaker 2: Dave twelve time All Star. Fun questions, how come you
Speaker 2: couldn't keep the bat in your hands when you were swinging?
Speaker 4: Man? I tried to knock the cover off the ball every.
Speaker 2: Time if it was human out, but punts hard didn't
Speaker 2: exist for you.
Speaker 4: You know, Look, Tony, I might have the record for
Speaker 4: heaving that bat pretty far. It could get a lift.
Speaker 4: I one time accidentally threw it, passed the picture. It
Speaker 4: landed in the short center field. Yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 4: that was my swing man. I'm trying to, like I say,
Speaker 4: knock the cover off the ball. Uh, take an extra
Speaker 4: base in someone's face, slide hard, Get dirty out there,
Speaker 4: That's what I mean. Not dirty as a player, but
Speaker 4: dirty dirty.
Speaker 2: Get the uniform dirty, give him a reason to clean it.
Speaker 2: That's why. Another reason why I was drawn to you,
Speaker 2: the athlete that you were, that you had played college
Speaker 2: basketball and college baseball. Now you were drafted. This is
Speaker 2: a famous story Dave. How many sports were you drafted
Speaker 2: into professional leagues?
Speaker 4: I was drafted in three professional sports that of course,
Speaker 4: the NBA, the ABA, Major League Baseball, and the NFL.
Speaker 4: The Vikings, my hometown, drafted me and thought I could
Speaker 4: be a tight end catch some passes from Frank Tarkinton.
Speaker 2: That would work. I could see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I could see that. But I'd probably be
Speaker 4: like this today.
Speaker 2: You know I dover though. Would you do another one?
Speaker 2: Would you consider it? Today's era could allow for you
Speaker 2: to play a little bit longer?
Speaker 4: Both Well, No, No, I would have still played baseball.
Speaker 4: And that was my love. When I grew up. My
Speaker 4: brother Steve and I, you know, he would we would
Speaker 4: go to bed at night and he would think of
Speaker 4: making the greatest catch ever in Major League. You know,
Speaker 4: you'd catch over the show. He could do that. At twelve,
Speaker 4: thirteen years.
Speaker 2: Old, I saw you do that, Dave. You made one
Speaker 2: of the greatest catches of my life in left field.
Speaker 2: You're playing left field that day for the Yankees. You
Speaker 2: know the one I'm talking about?
Speaker 4: Of course, right because the wall, I was stuck in
Speaker 4: the wall.
Speaker 2: He's stuck in the wall. Your head was in somebody's lap. Apparently,
Speaker 2: you know, is amazing your arm, Dave. Now this is
Speaker 2: just going to turn into a Chris Farley as an
Speaker 2: l bed where I'm just like, do you have an arm? Dave?
Speaker 2: Tell me about your arm. You had one of the
Speaker 2: best arms. I used to have fights with people. You know,
Speaker 2: Dave Parker. Dave Parker, I love him, great, nice beautiful eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my man is Dave went Field with the arm.
Speaker 4: You know. I always had a good arm growing up,
Speaker 4: and it was probably from throwing all the rocks in
Speaker 4: the neighborhood anything that moved rackam you know. But I
Speaker 4: was a picture. Most people don't know that. I was
Speaker 4: a pitcher throughout my entire life, all the way through
Speaker 4: college and then I don't go to the minor legs
Speaker 4: and they say, Dave, play the outfield, we want you
Speaker 4: to hit. Think about that. We've so otani.
Speaker 2: Yes, Dave, that's where I wanted to go.
Speaker 4: Dude, he's doing to the greatest extent when I was
Speaker 4: doing for a few years all the way through.
Speaker 2: Co Would you have done that in Major League Baseball?
Speaker 4: I think I could have. I know I could have
Speaker 4: done both. I could have pitched or hit. What he's
Speaker 4: doing is so phenomenal. It's uh, you know who can say.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's never been seen before what he's doing.
Speaker 4: But I did both of those all the way, you know,
Speaker 4: growing up through high school through college and did both.
Speaker 4: I was an MVP of the College World Series.
Speaker 2: I know, Dave Yes.
Speaker 4: When we were eliminated all of a sudden, I'll go
Speaker 4: to left field, played left field, no honor league experience.
Speaker 2: I understand you have a documentary in the works as well,
Speaker 2: but the name of the book, Touching All the Bass,
Speaker 2: is a story of power, purpose and surviving the Bronx.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't feel the author. The Hall of Famerumber fifteenth
Speaker 2: is when it will be available. You've got an opportunity
Speaker 2: to play in the World Series later in your career,
Speaker 2: and that's, of course a wonderful moment. What do you
Speaker 2: appreciate Do you appreciate it more? Maybe that you got
Speaker 2: it in your later stage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, listen, Tony real quick. The first World Series
Speaker 4: I was all prepared for, but it didn't work out
Speaker 4: with the Yankees, the Dodgers beat us in eighty one.
Speaker 4: It took me to nineteen ninety two in Toronto to
Speaker 4: be able to win at all. And then my very
Speaker 4: last year in ninety five, I tore a rotator cuff
Speaker 4: and I was unable to play in the World Series
Speaker 4: when Cleveland played Atlanta in Atlanta won their first So
Speaker 4: I won one, lost one and was injured for them.
Speaker 4: But just to have that experience, that's the way you
Speaker 4: endo practice every day of growing up. Men on base,
Speaker 4: game on the line, you know, for all the money
Speaker 4: or whatever the case may be, and then you end
Speaker 4: up with a git, and then you go home and
Speaker 4: you're happy. You don't go home happy if you Oh
Speaker 4: I swung a mist I struck out and the bats
Speaker 4: stuck up on your backside, you know.
Speaker 2: So look at the smile of my hero here too.
Speaker 2: I mean you talked about the voice. You never fix
Speaker 2: the teeth. I loved that about you too, you see.
Speaker 2: I mean that's just the gaff between the teeth and everything.
Speaker 2: There's a thing about meeting your hero or talking to
Speaker 2: your hero. You get a chance to tell them what
Speaker 2: they mean to you, you know. And I do a
Speaker 2: thing with my kids, Dave. You know who helped you
Speaker 2: today and who did you help?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: You end the day with like so you don't ask
Speaker 2: them how was your day? You asked them, who helped
Speaker 2: you today? And who did you help? You helped me
Speaker 2: today by a period of the show, you had no business.
Speaker 2: You're to be honest, You're surprised me and you helped me,
Speaker 2: like I told you, because you showed me what the
Speaker 2: height of sports was is and I was a man
Speaker 2: who wanted to do sports or at least talked about sports.
Speaker 2: Who was your hero?
Speaker 4: It would truly be. It would start with my family.
Speaker 4: My mother. I raised my brother and myself. We didn't
Speaker 4: have much. My parents were divorced when I was young,
Speaker 4: so I appreciate everything she poured into us. And I,
Speaker 4: of course I had a great couple of coaches as
Speaker 4: young people. As a young man. I will give this
Speaker 4: guy named Bill Peterson great. He's still alive today. He
Speaker 4: helped me. He helped Paul Molitor to another Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna I'll tell you this, The Parks and
Speaker 4: Rec Department in Minnesota was great, and Saint Paul was great.
Speaker 4: But as far as who I helped, all the guys
Speaker 4: you see today that have foundations and subsequent to I
Speaker 4: was the first in all sports to create a nonprofit
Speaker 4: operating foundation five oh one c three, Derek g who's
Speaker 4: having his thirtieth annual dinner on the tenth in New York.
Speaker 4: They're going to honor me. Derek Jeter's one of the
Speaker 4: guys that I influenced who wanted to be a Yankee
Speaker 4: and who wanted to have a foundation. So we're very
Speaker 4: good friend. You never know who you're going to.
Speaker 2: You never know, and that's the wonderful thing when you
Speaker 2: lead by example like the way you do, or when
Speaker 2: you share your story. And that's precisely what you did
Speaker 2: in the book, Touching All the Bases, a story of power,
Speaker 2: purpose and surviving the Bronx. I'm gonna love it for
Speaker 2: the baseball. I'm gonna love it for the self growth,
Speaker 2: I think is how I would describe I'm not saying
Speaker 2: it in your words, and how you talked about learning
Speaker 2: and leaning into philanthropy. I'm gonna enjoy that part in
Speaker 2: the business sense. The book comes out September fifteenth, Dave.
Speaker 2: It's been outstanding, haven't you.
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 2: We have one more thing, Paulie, mister.
Speaker 3: Winfield, just from us guys here today is the four
Speaker 3: the anniversary August fourteenth, nineteen ninety one of you hitting
Speaker 3: home run number four hundred when you're with the Angels.
Speaker 2: I was with California. Yeah, yeah, I remember, Yeah, it
Speaker 2: wasn't with the Yankees. I wanted four hundred for you
Speaker 2: and the Yankees. You had the back issue in eighty nine.
Speaker 2: And then the trade, which was just I mean, I
Speaker 2: mean Mike Witt was the picture. I believe trade four yeah,
Speaker 2: West trading history for me. In my house, it was
Speaker 2: for me. I would read this is back when we
Speaker 2: read newspapers every day. I'm still young to see what
Speaker 2: you had done with the Angels, and most of those
Speaker 2: games weren't in time for the paper. And then I'd
Speaker 2: always try to make sure, you know, like when you
Speaker 2: hit a home run, you fill out the whole line,
Speaker 2: you know, four lines. I was looking for those four
Speaker 2: lines and you hit I think twenty five home runs
Speaker 2: that year with California, California.
Speaker 4: You know. I do have to say it was good
Speaker 4: that I was able to leave the age.
Speaker 2: I think so too.
Speaker 4: A lot in the tank. And I say this from
Speaker 4: the standpoint that same year I was traded or accepted
Speaker 4: the trade, I was comeback player of the Year. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I go to Toronto, I win a world.
Speaker 2: Champion, made it possible, and then go.
Speaker 4: To minnister, I get three thousand hits and so it
Speaker 4: enabled me to get out from under this cloud and
Speaker 4: fulfill my destiny. Happy to go to the other place.
Speaker 2: You needed that, and that is a story. I'm living
Speaker 2: through this right now. Sometimes you have to go through
Speaker 2: that and it's a wonderful And I just remember that
Speaker 2: that hit you had with Toronto. You can hit any pitch.
Speaker 2: Your exit philosophy would be John Carlos Stanton right now.
Speaker 2: But that was a ball that was getting away. But
Speaker 2: you did anything to put the bat and the ball
Speaker 2: hit that double down the line. Dave Winfeld, thank you
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 4: Bucket we'd say, yeah, you've put that hockey stick out there.
Speaker 3: And and last thing, mister Winfield, Tony's not going to ask,
Speaker 3: but do you have an autograph book for Tony coming
Speaker 3: this way?
Speaker 2: Oh, we don't have to do that. I'll go to his.
Speaker 4: House and well, look you, I'll sign this one.
Speaker 2: And you owed me up, you know a guy. Thank
Speaker 2: you very much, Dave. You broke my voice here my voice,
Speaker 2: Thank you did it? Dave Winfield. Everyone Baseball Hall of
Speaker 2: Faper twelve time All author book comes out in September
Speaker 2: and my surprise for work here for two days. You
Speaker 2: guys give me thanks for coming on. Dave oh Man,
Speaker 2: that voice, Can I bottle that voice? H Well, I
Speaker 2: need to be down here too. I was. I was
Speaker 2: Anthony Reelling talking about the Yankees, fake Fisher Price microphone
Speaker 2: calling the Yankee games, and Dave Winfield was my star.
Speaker 3: I know we're gonna break, but I wish you could
Speaker 3: have saw your face during that interface. You had a
Speaker 3: smile that like it.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing it in my voice.
Speaker 3: Your cheeks couldn't hold in your teeth. It looked awesome,
Speaker 3: just like when I.
Speaker 2: Talked to Fritzi for the first time. You meet Friday
Speaker 2: here on the Damn Patrick Show. We're gonna eat some
Speaker 2: meat here and we are gonna recap the great stories
Speaker 2: of today and my two days here. I have a
Speaker 2: couple more observations about Paulie and about Marvin that we
Speaker 2: haven't done yet, and we'll do it all on the
Speaker 2: other side for Damn Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.
Speaker 2: Marvin, you just said it it's different with your first
Speaker 2: baseball player, and Dylan you said it as well. You know,
Speaker 2: it's different with your first athlete. I met so many
Speaker 2: people I admire in our industry, and that's really great.
Speaker 2: You know, Dan is an example number one. You know,
Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, I watched it, the dream was there.
Speaker 2: I put the cardboard box over my head and pretended
Speaker 2: like I was Dan Patrick in history class every year
Speaker 2: to be Dan Patrick as I did my report. That's
Speaker 2: an important thing for me. But there's something different about
Speaker 2: the athlete because you're a little bit younger and they're
Speaker 2: everything that you know. They're big, strong on what you
Speaker 2: want to be. Who is your your sports heroes Marvin.
Speaker 5: As far as first favorite athlete, Yeah, sure, outside of
Speaker 5: pro wrestling because I was a pro wrestling fan when
Speaker 5: I was a kid. Chris Weber okay, Fab five, Michael
Speaker 5: Jordan was two ubiquitous, everyone loved him. But Chris Weber
Speaker 5: made me fall in love with basketball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dylan, Yeah, my first sports here is also baseball.
Speaker 7: That was the first sport I fell in love with.
Speaker 7: And Mike Piazza was everything to me.
Speaker 2: And a heavy metal fan too, which is you know,
Speaker 2: a nice little comedy Manah that Fritzy Nolan, Ryan and
Speaker 2: John Elway.
Speaker 4: I like the Astros and Broncos.
Speaker 6: And then once you know they were part of those
Speaker 6: two teams with the rainbow stripe jerseys and something about
Speaker 6: the orange and blue. All about Ryan and Elway.
Speaker 3: Fully and of course it's Walter Payton. But actually before that,
Speaker 3: for me in Chicago, it was Mark Aguire of DePaul University,
Speaker 3: the basketball player. I just loved him, and then Patrick Ewing.
Speaker 3: I loved Ewing and baseball wise for the Cubs. My
Speaker 3: first Cubs game, we were in pretty decent seats and
Speaker 3: I was watching Bill Buckner and the mustache, and I
Speaker 3: love Bill Buckner. He was my first favorite.
Speaker 2: Cup The man came on an interview with no notice
Speaker 2: to sit down with me, and the words that came
Speaker 2: out of his mouth saying, I wrote a book about
Speaker 2: doing stuff for other people. And it's just like, come on,
Speaker 2: may get out of my head? What if I said?
Speaker 2: I mean, I believe sports is about connection. I think
Speaker 2: it's Sports is the greatest thing we got, and it's
Speaker 2: great because the athleticism is amazing, and because you know,
Speaker 2: it's exciting, and competition is great and you want to
Speaker 2: root and yeah, you can roof for your team and
Speaker 2: maybe you don't want the other team to win, but
Speaker 2: I hope you keep it positive. I like to keep
Speaker 2: it positive, right, Yeah, I want this to so that's great.
Speaker 2: But then it's the connection. It's the connection you have
Speaker 2: with the person you're sitting next to watching those games.
Speaker 2: That's and if I can now spread this out to
Speaker 2: my two day experience here, you know the connection. This
Speaker 2: show is about connection. This show is about companionship. This
Speaker 2: is why I've loved it before I was privileged to
Speaker 2: appear on it, and now I love it as I'm
Speaker 2: hosting it. Right, I mean, I think we need places
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get myself in trouble on sports media.
Speaker 2: Sports is the greatest, most joyful, positive, unifying thing we have.
Speaker 2: Sports media should look like that as well. Not only
Speaker 2: that you could have your drag him out fist fights
Speaker 2: and it could have whatever else is happening, but to
Speaker 2: have companion like this show has the gold standard in
Speaker 2: character and companion. It's It's an observation I had coming in,
Speaker 2: but I feel it even more now. I knew you
Speaker 2: guys were good at this. Pauli, Fritzy, Dylan Marvin mariol
Speaker 2: you know Tyler, Morgan, Criiky, everyone I'd come into it,
Speaker 2: and I always know the names, always know the names.
Speaker 2: I always write them down when no one's looking. You
Speaker 2: to remember that I knew you guys were good. I
Speaker 2: didn't know how good or how easy you would make
Speaker 2: it this chair observations. Fritzy already told you your magnificent
Speaker 2: horned owl look face learning algebra. But beautiful, beautiful, Uh, Dylan,
Speaker 2: We're going to get you to a perfect poll because
Speaker 2: you're a perfect man. Marvin. You have a great ability
Speaker 2: to say six words from across the room and completely
Speaker 2: change a conversation. I say that in a positive way,
Speaker 2: but you beat me in basketball yesterday with one quick
Speaker 2: move and you went left, which is not how it
Speaker 2: should be. Because you're always right. Everything you said today
Speaker 2: was absolutely right. Even when you lost your head to
Speaker 2: head with paul you acknowledge I can't do it because
Speaker 2: I'm right in my belief and I can't take his argument.
Speaker 2: You're always right. And then, Paulie, you know your six
Speaker 2: degrees of Bacon and human form, a pope, a sister,
Speaker 2: and the actual Kevin Bacon could walk into a bar
Speaker 2: and you would know all of them, which is an
Speaker 2: amazing thing. Your forest cup in some ways like that
Speaker 2: you wear glasses on your face and a very nice
Speaker 2: part of your nose. I would like the way. Can
Speaker 2: I say that? When I made that video of that
Speaker 2: thing you do, I originally also did a face swap.
Speaker 2: I had some of my friends who a face swap
Speaker 2: on there. It was two I don't like AI, so
Speaker 2: we didn't want to AI in that way. But it
Speaker 2: was too perfect. You look too much like Steve's on
Speaker 2: cinematic in that way, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2: So I I matt in Aio looks, but I see
Speaker 2: the vision. That's what I was trying to do.
Speaker 4: Mario.
Speaker 2: I love the way you make me look on this show.
Speaker 2: I love the way the show is set. Constant magic hour.
Speaker 2: You know, Christopher Nolan could take some notes. You could
Speaker 2: also get me home quicker than twenty years or four
Speaker 2: and a half hours. That's pretty great. I didn't even
Speaker 2: get to the tip of the museum here, you know, right.
Speaker 2: I did notice one thing though, another one of some
Speaker 2: of these very personal stories for me. I did find this.
Speaker 2: This is Draws and Petrovitch here a player I grew
Speaker 2: up with in Jersey. It's a little figurine. There's a
Speaker 2: Draws and Petrovits playing car here, one of the great games.
Speaker 2: How good would that guy be in this era, right,
Speaker 2: Draws and Petrovitch in today's basketball? Oh, I mean it
Speaker 2: would be till you know Lillard, it would be Karry.
Speaker 2: It would be a little bit of brunche in two
Speaker 2: with the guile that he would have in the court.
Speaker 2: So combo like that, what are we talking about? I
Speaker 2: love sports. I Am never gonna be the guy who's
Speaker 2: gonna be jaded by sports. I'm always gonna find this
Speaker 2: the positivity in sports. That's why we do it for.
Speaker 2: I'm always gonna find the love that we can share
Speaker 2: with sports. I've had a room here that is me
Speaker 2: in room form, you know, personified form.
Speaker 3: It is funny that when guest hosts come in here,
Speaker 3: they look around the studio and they're like, there's a
Speaker 3: Kelly Slater's surfboard. There's the Ties Dan war giving out
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl Trophy. It's just it's we call the
Speaker 3: Dan Sonian because there's just so much stuff in here.
Speaker 2: Football all weekend, pollie, what's on the docket?
Speaker 3: You got preseason games all night tonight, all day Saturday.
Speaker 3: Nothing on Sunday, so it's on Friday Saturday too. Nice
Speaker 3: Slates sports history.
Speaker 2: Anybody got it? I got one for you.
Speaker 3: I got actually two for you This Day in Sports History,
Speaker 3: Dave Winfield.
Speaker 2: Of course, we just did.
Speaker 3: From rund number four hundred. But Bob Gibson nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: one of the Cardinals through a no hitter against the
Speaker 3: Pirates and the player strike there was one in nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy four that ended. And then Mark McGuire set the
Speaker 3: record for home runs by a rookie with forty nine
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2: This Day in sports Yeah, wow, he went bigger than
Speaker 2: that that season. That seems that seems like that would
Speaker 2: be later in the year. Fritzy, what we learned?
Speaker 6: You saw the vision of what Feraniana Mendoza can be
Speaker 6: for the Raiders last night during preseason week one.
Speaker 2: I see the vision and I think that's where we
Speaker 2: want to be here in preseason one. You don't want
Speaker 2: to just fall in love. That would be cheap, right.
Speaker 2: You can fall I can fall in love. I told you.
Speaker 2: I bet you gave you my engagement story in between
Speaker 2: the men's and women's that's how we started today's show Man.
Speaker 2: This is just a really full, full program. You know,
Speaker 2: I saw the vision in that case. But you don't
Speaker 2: always have to fall in love. Just the vision is
Speaker 2: enough when you're watching your games this weekend, fans go
Speaker 2: for just the vision. Do I see it? Can it
Speaker 2: happen for my guy? That's it.
