1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what with the Hall

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: of Famer Tim Kirkshon I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshin and Dad,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: we can put a bow on the trade deadline now

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: because we had Steve Phillips making us laugh so much yesterday.

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: In fact, we even admitted at the end of the

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: interview Dad, we like we like barely talk to him

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: about the trade.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we certainly didn't get winners and losers from Steve

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: Phillips on the twenty twenty five deadline. But again, Jeff,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: that's what everyone else does. That's not what we're attempting

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: to do here. We're trying to do some other things.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: Although Jeff, I know I've been over this one other time,

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: but help me. One of the Steve Phillips things that

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: I saw somewhere. I got a two word tweet from

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: this guy and it just said, so dope. That's what

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: it said. Now, would you please explain to me one

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: more time what that means? Is that good? Is that bad?

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 2: So dope? Am I supposed to know what that means?

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: Dad? Well, you are because I taught you what it meant.

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: Well, that was we're all over a year ago, and

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: not like I forgot, But I just need clarification.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Dope is a good thing, Dad, So dope means that's

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: so great. So that was a compliment. You should be honored.

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I'm all right, that's enough enough of that.

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure and I just needed to be one

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: hundred percent certain. Okay, Now, Jeff, A couple things. First off,

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: today is Mike Trout's birthday. He was born in nineteen

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: ninety one, so he is thirty four years old today.

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: Whose other birthday is it today? What other Mike, your Kirkshin,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: your my cousin, cousin, my nephew. Michael Kirkchen born in

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, is thirty six years old today. And

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: so Mike Kirkchin and Mike Trout share the same birthday.

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: How great is that?

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: And it goes Mike Kirkshin, Mike Trout, Jeff Kirkshin, all

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: two years apart from each other.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: Right, just one of us is making I don't know

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: how much does he make in these day? Twenty milliyear?

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: No, Michael Kirchen doesn't make that much, all right? So, Jeff,

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: your birthday is on Saturday at August ninth, and your

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: beautiful daughter McKinley hope. Her birthday is on Sunday, she

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: will turn two, and you're coming to our house for

42
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: the festivities.

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, that's right.

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: So my best friend, one of my closest friends growing up, Jensen,

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: is marrying his beautiful fiance Amy this weekend, this Saturday,

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: and I'm actually officiating their wedding ceremony on my birthday.

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: And it was so funny Dad.

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: I met with them, you know, because I have officiated

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: weddings in the past. I've done it for friends, I've

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: done it for people who listen to the radio station,

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: and it's something I'd love to do. I think it's

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the greatest honor in the world to be asked to

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: be the officiant because they're in trusting you with the

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: biggest day of their lives up until that point.

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: Right.

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: So they had mentioned in our zoom meeting, Hey, like,

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: if you want to mention that it's your birthday, you

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: totally can. And I was like, this is your wedding

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: day is way more important than my little old thirty

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: second birthday, trust me, because you only get one wedding day.

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: Most people only get one wedding day. I hopefully am

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna have eighty six, eighty nine, ninety one hundred of

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: these birthdays, so like, I'm good. We don't need to

64
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: even tell a joke about it, Like it's not about me, Hi, Jeff?

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Is the verb you are going to officiate the wedding?

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Is that it?

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: And you're the official, You're the officiant, So I'm going

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: to officiate the wedding.

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Now.

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I will say I have said before, it's funny you

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: brought this up. I am performing their wedding ceremony, and

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: commonly people go, oh, what are you gonna sing? See no,

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm but Jeff forming the ceremony?

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Is the official would rather you perform it than officiated.

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: It sounds like in the middle of the vows you're

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: gonna determine if it's a block or a charge? Is no? Seriously,

77
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: isn't that an odd word for when for someone who's

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: marrying two people?

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I think so too, But I mean, you know who

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: would be the best officient It's Todd Frasier.

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Yes, two two right, air.

82
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: Right. We are gonna have Todd on when we get

83
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: to the Little League World Series with Carl Ravitch in

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, and we will demand that he

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: does the block charge and the high school official because

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: it is hysterically funny.

87
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: So, Jeff, this is why I have to confess. I

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: have to confess something really fast.

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: Dad.

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: I just got so energized and so loud. My wife's

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: desk is directly above mine. I'm in the basement studio.

92
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: She's above me in her office. And I heard my

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: dog just losing his mind because I'm in our little

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: studio screaming block block.

95
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: Like an idiot.

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: And now I'm going to hear about this when we

97
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: get done with this. What in the world are you

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: doing down there?

99
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: You could say you were officiating a wedding right here?

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Dad, come here, Emily, come here. She just came downstairs.

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up.

102
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: Come on the screen. I thought, like, get close to

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: the mic. There was a rat in here or something.

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: Sorry.

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: I was doing my block calls because because Dad had

106
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: mentioned that I'm officiating a wedding, and I said, so

107
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to officiate it, and he goes like a referee.

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: Who officiates a game.

109
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: So Emily came down to make sure I was alive.

110
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Say hi to the family.

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Hi, everything's boy. Are we off to a great.

112
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: Start to say downstairs.

113
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow that well, blocks and charges are very controversial.

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell the difference between the two.

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: So with that being said, though, Dad, the ninth is

116
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: my birthday. The tenth is my daughter's birthday, and we

117
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: are throwing a toy story party.

118
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: Wow your house?

119
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Wow? Now?

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: And what did you get her for her birthday?

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: We got her? I'm not sure what we got her.

122
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh, Dad, you're missing the I'm trying to do a

123
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: bit with you. What toy story party? What did you

124
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: get her?

125
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: Oh? I got her bed sheets? Who id that? Kid?

126
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: I got her a lunchbox? Right right? Yes, sorry, Jeff.

127
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: One of the great movies ever, right love.

128
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: One of the greatest lines.

129
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Dad, the amount every birthday we went to growing up, right,

130
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: you would always say, once you get a bed sheets lunchbox?

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't actually want to know what you got our daughter.

132
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: You don't know that.

133
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it arrived today in a gigantic box. I can

134
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: I can promise you it is not bed sheets. Yes, Okay,

135
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: So we're going to have the party for McKinley, and

136
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: let's just quickly retrace, Jeff. When McKinley Hope was born.

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: It was almost certain it appeared that she was going

138
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: to be born on your birthday, but she came about

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: three hours later, which prevented what from happening.

140
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 3: Us sharing the same birthday.

141
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: And what was going on while Emily was in labor a.

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: No hitter from Michael Lorenzen of the Phillies. So here

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: we are in a suburban Pennsylvania hospital, all with Phillies fans.

144
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: We have the TV on and my wife is laboring,

145
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: and I'm saying.

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Hey, keep it down.

147
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Okay, there's two outs in the bottom of the eighth

148
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I gotta check this out.

149
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: So there was a chance that I did not say that,

150
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: by the way, McKinley Hope was gonna be born on

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: your birthday, on the same night that Michael Lorenzen threw

152
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: a no hitter for the Phillies, And we just we

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: missed by like three hours.

154
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, three hours and fifty seven minutes. She was

155
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: born at three fifty seven am. And you know, I

156
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: have to say, my wife has already admitted, who appeared

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: on the podcast just moments ago, that she quote hasn't

158
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: even thought about my birthday end quote, because we have

159
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: a daughter who's turning two, and that's way more exciting,

160
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: and then she goes, but but I mean, we're going to.

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: A wedding with all your So yeah, right, that's a celebration.

162
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: I totally agree if it makes you feel any better, Mom,

163
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: And I haven't thought about your birthday either, so there

164
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: you go.

165
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: You know what, though, Dad, we are taking a trip

166
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: to Boston because my wife's birthday, Emily's birthday is September

167
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: the sixth, I'm August the ninth. It's four weeks apart,

168
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: so in the two week interim between those, we're going

169
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: to Boston with some family and friends, and we're taking

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: a tour of Fenway Park. I already booked my tickets,

171
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: so we're going to get a tour of Fenway Park

172
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: for Emily, her twin brother, his girlfriend, their sister, their

173
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: brother in law, like all these people are coming, their

174
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: best friend and best friend's husband and all that stuff.

175
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: So we're touring Fenway Park in a couple weeks. So

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure i'll talk about it more on the podcast

177
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the month, of course.

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that sounds great, Jeff. We can't wait for

179
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: you guys to come here. This weekend. We have a

180
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: double birthday. We have a wedding. We have McKinley Hope

181
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: turning two. Everyone's going to be here. It's going to

182
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: be great, so really looking forward to it.

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 3: All right, Dad, let's jump in to some baseball.

184
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I forbid we do that on this baseball podcast

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: with the takeaways.

186
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: A couple of quick takeaways, Jeff, how about Kyle Schwarber.

187
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: Just got to forty home runs? Forty home runs, got

188
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: to forty earlier than any Philly has ever done that,

189
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: which is just amazing to me. And in the six

190
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: RBI game the other night, he became the RBI leader

191
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: in the major leagues. Now we don't pay attention to

192
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: that much anymore, which saddens me because it's still a

193
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: very important statistic to me. But how about your boy,

194
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber. I mean you being a Phillies fan, now

195
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: you must be amazed, as are all the Phillies fans. Like.

196
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: He's got like ten homers the second half of the season.

197
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: So Wah wah our local gas station and sandwich shop

198
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: right all across the area, they have Schwarberfest. I think

199
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: it's in the month of June, and he like is

200
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: sponsored by wua Wa, so you can get like Kyle

201
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: Schwarber's HOGI and at a discount when he hits all

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: of his homers usually, but now it's extending it in

203
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: July and August and Dad.

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is he is in a.

205
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Contract year, so people are saying here in the area,

206
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: pay him what he's worth because he's every season he's

207
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: been with the Phillies except for last year, he's had

208
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: over forty homers. He had thirty eight last year, so

209
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: pretty darn close.

210
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: And now he's making.

211
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: A case somewhat to be an MVP this year, but

212
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: also making a case for them to sign him to

213
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: a big, big deal.

214
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: Right. And Jeff, he's the leader of the team too,

215
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: And don't think that's corny. It's all chemistry is so important,

216
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: and he is in charge of that team. He and

217
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper and others, but mostly Kyle Schwarber is in

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: charge of that team. And there's something to be said

219
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: for that, Okay, Jeff, I got to ask the other

220
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: day again, what's the best team in baseball? Not an

221
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: easy question, but I think it's the Brewers. And I'm

222
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: not sure there's a big question, at least for the moment.

223
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: They just finished their best sixty game stretch in the

224
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: history of the team. That's pretty impressive, right, very impressive. Now,

225
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers are coming back, Jeff, and they

226
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: got Max Mounsey back. So Max Munsey just came off

227
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: the injured lives after that horrific ankle injury that he suffered.

228
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: He comes back, he hits two home runs, so he

229
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: now has nineteen multi homer games Max Munsey, which ties

230
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: Mike Piazza for the most multi homer games hit by

231
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: a Dodger since the team moved to LA in nineteen

232
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: fifty eight. That's pretty impressive. Don't you think you.

233
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Would think with the history of all of the Dodgers

234
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: that that would not be the short list.

235
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: But again, Max Munsey has become a really good player,

236
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: and they really hit the skids offensively when he went down.

237
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Now that he's back, it appears they have picked it

238
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: up a little bit. So let's not forget how important

239
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Max Munsey is to the Dodgers.

240
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: It's Babe Ruth who has the most multi homer games, right,

241
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: and then Barry.

242
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: Bonds seventy two. Babe Ruth has seventy two multi homer games.

243
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: I think Gary Bonds just trails him at like seventy

244
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: one or seventy something like that.

245
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: It's close, yes, insane. Last thing on the takeaways, Jeff,

246
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays are the best team in the American

247
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: League East, even though we acknowledge again the Red Sox

248
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: are really charging right now. But I found this interesting.

249
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: So first off, Bob Baschett has made a great comeback

250
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: again now he's leading the league and hits. So they

251
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: gave him a day off from shortstop the other day

252
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: in Colorado, but they kept him in the lineup. It's Colorado,

253
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 2: in the place where his dad played, and as the

254
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: dah he drove in six runs. So the guy who

255
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: played shortstop in his place, Ernie Clement, had five hits.

256
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: So here Bob Bashett gets a day off from playing

257
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: shortstop and the guy who replaces him, Ernie Clement, went

258
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: five for five, which I found So Bob Baschett, by

259
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: the way, has four five hit games in his career,

260
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: and Ryan Goings goins, gi and As also has a

261
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: five hit game as the shortstop for the Blue Jays,

262
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: and now Ernie Clement does. So the Blue Jays, in

263
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: their relatively short history, have three different shortstops who have

264
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: had a five hit game. Do you find that surprising

265
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: at all?

266
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not as surprising as the fact that a

267
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: guy with the name Ernie Clement isn't playing in nineteen twelve.

268
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that just sounds like a name from one

269
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: hundred years ago, right right?

270
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: I totally agree. Okay, Jeff, we're on to the quirk chins.

271
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you got for us?

272
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: So, Shaye Langlers of the A's hit leadoff the other

273
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: day and hit three home runs in a game in

274
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: his first game as a leadoff hitter. Ever. So there

275
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: have been fifty leadoff three homer games or three homer

276
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: games fifty times by a leadoff hitter, but this is

277
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: the first time. It was the player's first game ever

278
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: in the leadoff spot, and then he hit three. So

279
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: the previous fewest games for a three homer game by

280
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: a leadoff guy was done four days earlier, four days

281
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: when Leover Pagero of the Pirates, in his second game

282
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: ever as a leadoff guy, hit three home runs. Jeff,

283
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: what are the chances of that happening? It happened four

284
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: days apart. A guy in his second start ever as

285
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: a leadoff guy hit three homers. So that's the record,

286
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: And four days later the record was broken by Shaye Langeleers,

287
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: who had never hit leadoff in his career. And then

288
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: he goes and hits three homers. And by the way,

289
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: Jeff had fifteen total bases. So Nick Kurtz's teammate, of course,

290
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: had the four homer game with nineteen total bases, you know,

291
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: less than a month ago. So they're the first teammates

292
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: ever with the A's from Sacramento to have two players

293
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: with a fifteen total based game in the same season,

294
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: is it? I mean, how could Ruth and Garrett not

295
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: hold this record, but instead it's Nick Kurtz, a rookie

296
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: and Shaye Langaliers. And this is the other thing, Jeff

297
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: so he is this is his second three homer game.

298
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, We've been over this a million times. Hank

299
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: Aaron had one three homer game. Give me the three

300
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: five hundred home run hitters who did not have a

301
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: three homer game in their career, because Shaye Langleiers now

302
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: has two. Give me the five hundred homer guys.

303
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: Barry Bonds, Oh my.

304
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: God, no, now you're just messing with me. Yeah, I'm

305
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: just messing with David Ortiz, Rafael Palmarow, Gary Sheffield all

306
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: hit five hundred homers in their career and never had

307
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: a three homer game. Shaye Langaliers has two, so he's

308
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: one of four catchers of all time now with two

309
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: three homer games. One is Shay Langliers, two is Travis Darnault,

310
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: three is Gary Carter arguably a top five catcher of

311
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: all time, and Johnny Bench the greatest catcher of all time. Jef,

312
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: this is what's so beautiful about baseball, these crazy lists

313
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: that don't make any sense. You understand Gary Carter and

314
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: Johnny Bench, but Shay Langleiers and Travis Darnaut should not

315
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: leap to mind. But it just shows you the game

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: we play today, Jeff, guys are up there trying to

317
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: hit the ball out of the ballpark and they get

318
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: three good pitches to hit and there's no telling what

319
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: might happen. So Langalier's three homer game came off, of course,

320
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: the Washington Nationals, who just had just got their brains

321
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: beat out over the weekend by the Milwaukee Brewers, who

322
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: got fifty six hits in three games against the Nationals,

323
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: and then the A's come to town and get twenty

324
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: four hits. So that's eighty hits allowed in a four

325
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: game stretch. So they're the first team since The Night

326
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 2: eighteen thirty two Indians to give up eighty hits in

327
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: a four game stretch. Jeff, that's gosh, averaging twenty hits

328
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: a game. It's unbelievable. So, Jeff, I found this interesting.

329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: Max Schumann of the Max Schuman of the A's went

330
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: oh for six, batting ninth, by the way, oh for

331
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: six in a game in which his team got twenty

332
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: four hits. Think about that for a second. Your team

333
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: gets twenty four, not only do you get no hits,

334
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: you go oh for six. So the last guy to

335
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: go oh for six in a game in which his

336
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: team got twenty four or more hits was Tyler Saladino

337
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen for the White Sox. He went oh

338
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: for six and the team got twenty five hits.

339
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: That that's just when you know you're not you're not

340
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: drinking out of the same cooler or something.

341
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: There's something wrong with you.

342
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: On that day, right and crazy? All right, So it's

343
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 2: Mike Trout's birthday, so I hesitate to bring this up,

344
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: but I still find it interesting. Through Tuesday, Mike Trout

345
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: had struck out multiple times in seven consecutive games. So,

346
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: and this is Mike Trout, one of the best players

347
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: of all time, just showing you again where the strikeout

348
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: rate is, Jeff right now, So the only position player

349
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: ever to strike out in more than seven consecutive multiple

350
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: times in more than seven consecutive games is Aaron Judge,

351
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: who did it in nine consecutive in his rookie year.

352
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: So we're talking about two of the best players we've

353
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: ever seen, and they hold these strikeout records again because well,

354
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: Judge was a rookie, he was just learning how to play.

355
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: But it just shows you the stuff and the pitching

356
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: that these guys see. It's just ridiculous. Riley Green had

357
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: a seven game stretch if you remember earlier this year,

358
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: with multiple strikeouts in each. That's pretty hard to do, Hi, Jeff.

359
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: So I did some Little League, as I told you,

360
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: and I got a kick out of this. There's a

361
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: kid named Grady thoam eho m e spelt like Jim

362
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: Tomy but pronounced differently. So he had back to back

363
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: games in Little League in which he had a basis

364
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: clearing triple. So back to back games, comes up with

365
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: the bases loaded, and it's a triple to clear the bases.

366
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: So I checked with Frank from the Elias, and the

367
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: last major leaguer to do that was Ty Wiggington two

368
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: thousand and three, his rookie year with the Mets. So

369
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: twenty two years ago a major leaguer did that. The

370
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: last major leaguer to do it. But Grady Thoem did

371
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: it in a little league game. I just love that.

372
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: You know, if he ever makes it to the big leagues,

373
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: he did not change him Tony.

374
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Right, well, I would change my name to Grady Tony.

375
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: I mean that would be pretty nice, don't you think.

376
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: It absolutely would be?

377
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 2: All right?

378
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: All right? Dad?

379
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: On this date in baseball history, Yeah, in nineteen o seven,

380
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: Walter Johnson got his first victory. Did I ever tell

381
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: you I went to Walters? Ye? Yeah, he would win

382
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: four hundred and sixteen more games, Jeff to finish with

383
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: four seventeen. Okay, I love this, Jeff, your your partner

384
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: in karaoke at the Hall of Fame that you're Wade Boggs.

385
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: I still cannot get over the fact that I walked

386
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: into the Hawkeye Bar there and you were singing karaoke

387
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: with Wade Boggs, who got over three thousand hits. Well,

388
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: he got number three thousand on this date in nineteen

389
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 2: ninety nine, and Jeff, the day before, Tony Gwyn had

390
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: gotten his three thousand hit. How about that? Isn't that amazing?

391
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: And Boggs was a home run, so he is the

392
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: first player ever to get hit number three thousand with

393
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: a home run. Then Peter do that later, I think, Derek, Yes, Derek,

394
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: Jeter did it later.

395
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously later than Wade Boggs, but yeah, I mean yeah,

396
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: two shortstops at that matter.

397
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing. And also on this date, Jeff, in twenty sixteen,

398
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: each Row got his three thousand hit. Isn't that cool?

399
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: So wayballs and each Row Suzuki each got hit number

400
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: three thousand on August, the seventh one in nineteen ninety nine,

401
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: the other in two thousand and sixteen, and the last

402
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: one Jeff. Don Larson was born on this date in

403
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty nine. I'm just going to see how much

404
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: you remember Don Larson did. What Jeff the.

405
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 3: Only person to throw a perfect game in the World.

406
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Series, right, and there's only been one other, No hitter

407
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: thrown in the World Series. And who attended that game?

408
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: My friend who else?

409
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 3: Emily?

410
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: Right? And Emily. Emily, she's so adorable, Jeff. But you know,

411
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: and she's learning to become a Phillies fan, and she's

412
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: become a very very good baseball fan in a very

413
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: short amount of time. But you know, this was a

414
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and she's just learning the game.

415
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: And I don't blame her for this. But after the game,

416
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: after seeing the Houston Astros pitch a no hitter in

417
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, she says, that

418
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: was the worst game I've ever seen. So I just played, Emily. Look,

419
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: I know the Phillies lost. I'm sorry. I know they

420
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: didn't get any hits. But we've been playing this game

421
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: for one hundred and fifty years, and we've been playing

422
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: the World Series since nineteen oh three, and this is

423
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: only the second time we've ever had a no hitter

424
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: in a World Series game. So, and my friend Nick

425
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Petri Savich, he took his wife Dana to that game.

426
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: I think I told you this, Jeff, but she had,

427
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: so she went to the no hitter also, she has

428
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: been to she had after that game. Been to five

429
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: games in her life and two of them were no hitters,

430
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: Josh Beckett's at in Philadelphia and then the no hitter

431
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: in the World Series. What are the chances of.

432
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: That, Jeff Batten four hundred there. That's pretty darn good, now, Dad,

433
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: I will say. The only thing that made my wife

434
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: more upset. Emily was not happy because the next day

435
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: is the next game of the World Series and Kyle

436
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: Schwarber let it off with a home.

437
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: Run right, well, one batter away from a.

438
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: Home run, right, Just incredible.

439
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: From Ozzie to Oral that we are counting down the

440
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: best players at each number, and we've moved on to

441
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: number thirty four.

442
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: You okay, Jeff. They're all difficult, Jeff. You know, unless

443
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: you're twenty four, unless you're number seven, unless you're number nine,

444
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 2: number four, there's some really hard ones out there, and

445
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: this was hard. But number thirty four, I'm going with

446
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: Kirby Pucket very, very slightly over David Ortiz, in part

447
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: because Kirby Puckett was a great defensive player. Also, he

448
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: won six Gold Gloves, He made ten All Star teams.

449
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: He was the best player on two championship seasons for

450
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Twins hit four twenty nine in the ninety

451
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: one ALCS. Famously, Jeff he had one of the great

452
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: one of the greatest game World Series games ever, Game

453
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: six in nineteen ninety one. He got three hits, made

454
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 2: a great catch to save the game basically, and then

455
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: hit a walk off homer off Charlie Lee Brandt to

456
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: win the game. Now, the night before, when they left

457
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: the workout, he announces to the whole team, he said,

458
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 2: just get on my back, boys, I'm going to take

459
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: us home. And then he goes out and has one

460
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: of the great games in the history of the World Series.

461
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: That's who Kirby Puckett was. And Randy Bush, who used

462
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: to play for the Twins, love Randy Bush. He told

463
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: me the greatest thirty minutes of every night that Randy

464
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: Bush was on the Twins was from six thirty to seven,

465
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: like half an hour before the game starts. No meeting

466
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: in the room, and it's just the players getting ready.

467
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: And Kirby Puckett would walk through that clubhouse and talk

468
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: about the game like we're playing tonight. Let's go. We're

469
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: gonna beat these guys. Let's go. And Randy Bush said

470
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: this happened every night for a half an hour that

471
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: Kirby Puckett would walk through the clubhouse and get everyone

472
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: ready to play. So that's among the many reasons I

473
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: pick him as the greatest number thirty four of all time.

474
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 4: And it was hard.

475
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Let's move on number thirty five. Who's the greatest baseball

476
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: player to wear that number?

477
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: Okay, it's really hard to because Mike Sina war thirty five,

478
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: Phil Nicro wore thirty five, vastly underrated Phil Nicro, and

479
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: Ricky Henderson, of course, wore thirty five with the Oakland

480
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: A's to start his career, and anyone who wants Ricky

481
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: Henderson here, I'm going to give you that. But he

482
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 2: also wore twenty four a bunch of times for the

483
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: Yankees and the Blue Jays and others. So I'm gonna

484
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: go with Frank Thomas, the Big Hurt, who wore thirty

485
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: five for his entire Hall of Fame career with the

486
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: White Sox. He went back to back MVPs. And and

487
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: by the way, Jeff, what's the MVP note with him and.

488
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: Jeff Bagwell, they won the MVP the same year AL

489
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: and NL and they have.

490
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: The same birthday right, born on the same day in

491
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: the same year. How about that? And they won the

492
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: MVP that year, nineteen ninety four. That is just so cool.

493
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: Five hundred and twenty one homers for the big hurt

494
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: ops of nine seventy four. Jeff, he's six'. Five he

495
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: played tight end At. Auburn i'm always amazed how big he.

496
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: Was it's hard to be a big hitter and be

497
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: really good when you're that, tall arms are that, Long

498
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: Aaron judge. Type but that's how Great Frank thomas. Was

499
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: and let me ask you, This. Jeff he holds the

500
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: major league record with ten, thousand seventy five played, appearances

501
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: but never had one of. These think about, it great

502
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: Hitter jeff six foot, five two hundred and sixty, pounds

503
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 2: had ten thousand and seventy five played, appearances never had

504
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: a trip one one of, these not a triple good, tryitch, no, yeah, no,

505
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 2: no you. Know Mark lemke holds the record thirty or

506
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: thirty three hundred plate appearance without being hit by a. Pitch,

507
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: jeff think about what a big man who hit five

508
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one homers probably would never be asked to.

509
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 2: Do pinch run, no, well that's that may be. True, Also,

510
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: JEFF i don't know, that BUT i know that he

511
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: had the most played appearances of anyone in history without

512
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: a sacrifice butt zero oh second bunt yeah, right, yeah,

513
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: yeah because why would they Ask Frank thomas to butt

514
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: A he's gonna hit a home run or he's gonna

515
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: hit the ball hard. Somewhere So i've got him as

516
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,960

550
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,600

551

Speaker 2: Story oh, yeah. Yeah but when he used to go To,

552
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: FENWAY i don't know if he still does, It but

553
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: he would be out in the outfield and there was

554
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: like a little hole in the, scoreboard like and it

555
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: didn't really signify anything in the really old scoreboard on

556
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: the left field, wall and he would, love while shagging

557
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: balls in the, outfield he would love to try to

558
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: throw from thirty forty to fifty sixty feet, away whatever

559
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,800

Speaker 2: through that little hole in the. SCOREBOARD i mean the

561
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: ball all barely fit through. It but those are the

562
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: things That Mike trout just loves to do and still

563
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
