Right? I've been in the pool so much 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 3: here at the beach the last three days that I 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: can't hear at either ear. And I lost my glasses 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: for four hours the other day, so I couldn't see 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: and I couldn't hear for a four hour period. It 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 3: made a difficult day at the beach. Every other part 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 3: of the beach has been great. 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: And I asked you while we were on the beach 14 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: earlier today. I said, all right, well, which ear is 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: your bad ear? I'll sit on the opposite side, so 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: at least I'm closer to you. I can tell you're 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: reading my lips right now. And you said they're both terrible, 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: so we just have to shout. And I said, that's 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: gonna be no problem for me, that's for sure. Right. 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: All that matters is we got through the beach this 21 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: morning because the seas were what is rough that day? 22 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: My friend the water was so rough today that here 23 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: I am. It was like we were taught in high 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: school how to play basketball. Always stay between your man 25 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: and the basket. To me, the last couple of days, 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 3: I've had to stay between the children and the ocean 27 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: to make sure nobody gets by. That's how rough things were. 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: And I must say, if it weren't for me, there 29 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: could have been big trouble on the beach today. I 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: had more saves of Mariotta Rivera today, so it's all good. 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're very on Tim Kirkchin Baywatch, right. 32 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: You looked great out there.

Or why are you wearing that here. 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: It's worth noting too that our last episode that we 42 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: recorded here at the beach, we did in this movie 43 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: theater in the basement of this massive house. Because Dad, 44 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: we've the same families have been going to the beach 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: for like fifty years, and now we have kids, have 46 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: kids and grandchildren everywhere, so we need a big, big house. 47 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: But we've reversed our positioning because now instead of sitting 48 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: in the audience, so to speak, of the movie theater, 49 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: we are up at the front because we have some 50 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: friends who wanted to kind of watch along. Hi, everybody, 51 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: some family and. 52 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 3: Your mom, Catcat is here, The Daily Family's here, the 53 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: Gribbles are here, and Sam and Jess are here. How 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: about that, you know. 55 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: Big, big shout out to Dante. 56 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: Dante is the oldest of the third generation to come 57 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: to the beach, the very first one, born in twenty eleven, 58 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and he was watching the podcast on the deck of 59 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the house the other day, watching our interview with Jesse Cole. 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: Right, it must be noted that Dante's dad is Scott Gribble, 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: who's six foot nine. So we asked Frank at the Elias, 62 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: has there ever been two families at the beach with 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: dads one at six to nine, the other's five five 64 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: to five like me.

And by the way we watched this 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 3: must be noted. So we watched Coco in this room, 69 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: as we mentioned on Monday, for the first time. I've 70 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: never seen Coco before. What a great movie that was. 71 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: I cried like a baby at the end. But what 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: I realized when I heard the big song remember Me. 73 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: When you call ESPN Travel to reserve a flight or something, 74 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: you're always put on hold, always, and the song that 75 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: comes up while you're waiting is remember Me. So I 76 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: cry all the time when I hear it when I 77 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: call ESPN. And then I cried for the I didn't 78 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: know that was the song. I didn't know that's where 79 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: it was from. So now I know. 80 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Hopefully you have a better memory of it now instead 81 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: of patiently waiting to get on the line with Travel 82 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: so you can get across the country to. 83 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: Go to whatever playoffs series you're going to. 84 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of Dad, these Pennant races are unbelievably exciting right. 85 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: Now, right So, Jeff I got up at four thirty 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: on in the morning on Wednesday to make sure yesterday 87 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: to make sure I knew everything that was going on, 88 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: and about five things happened in the major leagues. That 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: made me rethink who's making the playoffs, who isn't going 90 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: to make the playoffs, Who's going to win the division? 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: This is how the entire season has gone, a complete 92 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: free for all, a complete fistfight from beginning to end. 93 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: And I still with six days left in the regular season. 94 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: I am not five days left. I'm not sure what's 95 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 3: going to happen. This is the ultimate beauty of baseball. Yeah. 96 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: Shout out to my friend Matt Friedman, big Detroit Tigers fan. 97 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: He said, in the stage of grief, he's in anger 98 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: right now. He texted and said, that's the stage he's. 99 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: In right now. 100 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: Because the Tigers, the Guardians, it's getting the Mariners. Everything's 101 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: getting very exciting across Major My. 102 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: State is incredulous right now, Jeff. On Monday, we did 103 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: the Team Tim and Team Tim was the All Beach team, 104 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: made up of former Major leaguers and current Major league 105 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: It was a pretty easy one to do. Chris cost 106 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: you know, Brett Water, Drew Waters, you know, and we 107 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: got six different lists from people based on our list. 108 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 3: On Monday, all right, we got the for some reason, 109 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: we got the All Pixar list from Craig Cole Coco 110 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: Coco right, That's where it came from. Since we had 111 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: Kevin Brown as our guest yesterday Wednesday, Eric Moyer came 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: up with the all Crayola Team with colors because we 113 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: had Kevin Brown. Because I've mentioned so many times how 114 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: much I love sitcoms from the sixties. We had the 115 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: All Green Acres Team by John Schnitzer, which is ridiculous, 116 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: and the best one, of course, was by Brian Dill 117 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: who wrote to us after he said, how can you 118 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: go to the Outer Banks to Kitty Hawk and not 119 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: do the All Aviation Team. It's a good point. So 120 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: since Brian challenged us and sent us his own list, 121 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 3: which is great, we decided I decided to have a 122 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: little fun with it, and we're going to join forces 123 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: and we will announce the All Aviation Team at the 124 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: end of the episode. 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you did take Carson, age four to the 126 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: Right Brothers, you know, museum and memorial out there with Kakat. 127 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: Kakkat, and I took Carson. We had the greatest time. 128 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: He's only four, and I was amazed how much he 129 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: wanted to learn about the Right Brothers. So he is 130 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: so and the right brothers are very big of course 131 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: in the All Aviation team. 132 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: And not to mention, the only thing he wanted was 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: more airplanes. Yes, so kak An said, we're taking him 134 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: to the Air and Space Museum because there was really 135 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: only one there. And I want to give a shout 136 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: out to Willie Weinbaum as well. I gave my All 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: Theater team and he added to that. So this is 138 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: these are names that kind of lend themselves to musical product. 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: Give kat cat one of the examples. Well, who is 140 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: your Catcher? 141 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: My Catcher? Oh bye bye, Bertie Tebbitt's. So dad has 142 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: a personal story. 143 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: With Right, which we've already said. The point is Jeff 144 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: took all the shows that he like appeared in in 145 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: high school and found major league players to go along with. 146 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: And then our pal Willie Weinbaum, who weighs in on 147 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 3: like every show we've done, making suggestions edits because he's 148 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: a producer at ESPN. He he added a few, give give. 149 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Us a couple that Willy added another show I appeared 150 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: into the Gary Woods, which is pretty great. Eggar Rent Reah, 151 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: great musical of course. 152 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: Lyon King Kelly, My Fair, Lady Baldwin. 153 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: And book of Russ Mooreman, all right, that's it up, 154 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: Boldler on the phil roof Okay, that was. 155 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: That was beautiful. Point is, people are interested in the 156 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: most pointless thing that we do every week. But we 157 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: got to keep it up because this is what people 158 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: really care. 159 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: We were really worried when we would get to the 160 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: end of the from Ozzie to Oral, what are we going. 161 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: To talk about it? 162 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: We can just do tims a day. 163 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: We can do I love it right, That's all they 164 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: seem to care about here. Well, what they should be 165 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: caring about are our takeaways. Because the Pennant races, as 166 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: we said, have really heated up. The Guardians from Cleveland 167 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: have caught the Tigers. This is unbelievable. They were fifteen 168 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: and a half games out of first place and now 169 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: they have taken over possession of first place in the 170 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 3: American League Central. No team has ever been fifteen and 171 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: a half games out in a division or league and 172 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: come back to win it. So that's what the Tigers 173 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: are now trying to do. And for the Quirts, we'll 174 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: get into a classic Guardians victory which we'll go into. Also, 175 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: the Padres are now only a game and a half 176 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: through through Tuesday, a game and a half behind the 177 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 3: Dodgers in NL West, the Yankees are only one game 178 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: behind the Blue Jays and the AL East. The Mariners 179 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 3: have come from nowhere now to clinch the AL West. 180 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: It's over. They're going to win that division. And the 181 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: Mets were five runs down against the Cubs in a 182 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: game they absolutely had to win, and they came back 183 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: to beat the Cubs in the biggest victory of the season. 184 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: First time this year that the Mets have been five 185 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: runs down and came back to win, and the first 186 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 3: time this year that the Cubs were up by five 187 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 3: runs in the game. I lost. That's what happens this 188 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: week in baseball. It's been an incredible week for the game. 189 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: And Dad, do you have a couple of quirtchins? I know, 190 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: these Thursday episodes are tough because we only have a 191 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: couple games. 192 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: We have a couple of days to work with. So 193 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: the bottom of the sixth inning in Cleveland the other 194 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 3: night was just ridiculous. Rick Vaughan, my dear friend, he 195 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: texted me and said, are you watching the Cleveland game? 196 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, no, I'm not. I'm at the beach 197 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: with all my knucklehead friends, I'm playing Lifeguards saving lives. 198 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: That right, there's no TV here that's going to get 199 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: the Guardians game. But in the bottom of the sixth inning, 200 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: the Tigers have a lead, and this is so classic 201 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: of the Guardians, who have a terrible offensive team and 202 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: yet they're leading the division. I don't know how they're 203 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: doing it, but it's a tribute to their players, management, 204 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 3: everyone how they're doing this. So first guy gets a 205 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: bunt single, which never happens. Next guy bunts also, which 206 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 3: two bunths in a row you almost unheard of. And 207 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: then Trek Scooble, the pitcher for the Tigers, who's the 208 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: best pitcher in the American League, makes a throwing error 209 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: on the bunch. Then there's an infield hit. So three 210 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: hits and nobody and not one ball has left the 211 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: infield yet. Then Trek Scooble throws a wild pitch to 212 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: score a run. Then he strikes out David Fry, and 213 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: this I'll explain the rest of this. David Fry gets hit, 214 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 3: hit in the face or it bunts it like right 215 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 3: into his head, foul ball, and they have to take 216 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: him out of the game. Okay, so they bring in 217 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: a pinch hitter, but before that happened, or while that happens, 218 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 3: a wild pitch scores a run. And then the next guy, 219 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: George Valera, comes up pinch hitting for David Fry. Okay, 220 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: now he comes in with two balls and two strikes 221 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: and he takes strike three, but he doesn't get credit 222 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: for the strikeout. David Fry gets credit for the strikeout 223 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 3: because he had two strikes on him when they took 224 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: him out of the game. So this poor guy is 225 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: nursing a knot on the top of his forehead and 226 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: a serious face injury, and he gets credit for a 227 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 3: strikeout because George Valera couldn't took strike three. It's amazing. 228 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: He's probably more upset about the strikeout than he was 229 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: about the injury to his head. 230 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: Baseball players aren't messing our. 231 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely, So then Terrek Schoubl balked, and then there was 232 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: an infield ground out that scored a run and then 233 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: a strikeout. So the Indian that Guardians scored three runs 234 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 3: in that inning did not hit a ball out of 235 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 3: the infield, and Trek Schoubl became the second pitcher in 236 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 3: thirty years. Reese Olsen his teammate now is the only 237 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: other one to have a balk a throwing error and 238 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: a wild pitch in the same inning. 239 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: How about that, And he's probably gonna win the al 240 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Cy Young. 241 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 3: He is gonna win the al Cy Young. It's that 242 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: was an amazing game, all right now, Jeff, we've been 243 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: doing the hat tricks all seasons, so we got to 244 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: keep updating. Another hat trick for gian Carlos Stanton. That's 245 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: three strikeouts or more in a major league game. So 246 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: that's number one sixty nine in his career. The record 247 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: has won seventy three by Adam Dunn. I think it's 248 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 3: fair to say gen Carlo Stanton has a lot of 249 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: time left in his big league career. He's going to 250 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: demolish that record. Also, Jeff, the Orioles have now are 251 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: the only team without a guy who hit twenty home runs. 252 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: In fact, they don't have anyone who has eighteen home 253 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: runs this year, as many as eighteen their leader through 254 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: Tuesday at seventeen. They had six guys last year that 255 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: had eighteen or more homers. So the last teams that 256 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: didn't have a twenty home run hitter during the course 257 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: of the season was twenty twenty two, the Marlins, the Tigers, 258 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: and the White Sox and the Orioles, who were supposed 259 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: to be a really good offensive team. I think are 260 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 3: going to join that club. That group this year. Isn't 261 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 3: that amazing. 262 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: It's so sad too, because it's such a young team 263 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: and so much hope and a couple of playoff appearances 264 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: in the past, and now they're looking like they're looking. 265 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Orioles, we had a Major League broadcaster, 266 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: Oriols broadcaster Kevin Brown on the podcast yesterday. Dad and 267 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: I received so many text messages, including one from Ben Fontana, 268 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: who also Syracuse graduate, was my roommate in Cleveland. Roommate Ben, 269 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: and he texted me he said Kevin Brown was hilarious. 270 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm just sad we didn't remark on how great of 271 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: a beer pong player he was in college. 272 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: Kevin Brown. Brown was a. 273 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: Great beer pong player, according to Ben Fontana. 274 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: Well, Kevin Brown made us laugh out loud at least 275 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 3: twenty times during that He's so wicked smart and he's 276 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: a Syracuse guy like you. 277 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll see him at Sphere in Las Vegas. 278 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: And the Spear right. We learned that lesson the hard. 279 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, Dad, do you have on this eight 280 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: in baseball history? 281 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of my favorite little things. We look 282 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: at this date in baseball history. So September twenty five, 283 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: on nineteen fifty five, al ka Line won a batting 284 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: title at age twenty.

What did he tell me once about 287 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: his high school basketball career? I can't remember. He's a 288 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: better He told me, Oh, he's a better basketball basketball 289 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: player than a baseball player. And he won a batting 290 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: title at age twenty. On this date. In nineteen sixty three, 291 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: the Cardinals retired number six, which is the number worn 292 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: by Stan Musual. Way to go, Jeff, course learning so much. 293 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: Thank you, Jeff, thank you for podcast. You would not 294 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: for known this. 295 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Right, they said, The Daily Family said, if I got 296 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: like one of your many trivia questions right, they would 297 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: applaud So thank you for that. 298 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: All right, Jeff? What is the statistical anomaly about Stan 299 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 3: Musical which I've used on this podcast multiple time. 300 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: Well, it's funny. 301 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: A lot of people commented about it because and hopefully 302 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm going down the right path here. Mike Trout just 303 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: hit his four hundredth home run, two hundred at home, 304 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: two hundred on the road, and it was Francisco Lindor right, just. 305 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: Hit one sixty eight at home, one sixty eight on 306 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: the road, one sixty eight, No, wait, one thirty eight, yeah, 307 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: one thirty eight at home, one thirty eight on the road. 308 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: One thirty eight for the for the Guardians Indians, and 309 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 3: one thirty eight for the Mets. Seriously, so the statistical 310 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: anomaly for Stan Musical eighteen hundred and fifteen hits at home, 311 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: eighteen hundred and fifteen hits on the road, thirty six 312 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty hits exactly divided between home and road. 313 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: That's that's so impressive. 314 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: Your grandfather Pop was a mathematician. What is the probability 315 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: of that happening? It's almost impossible. 316 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: I can't crunch those numbers without chat ebt all right. 317 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: On this date in nineteen eighty four, Russ Steve stob 318 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: hit a home run and he became the first player 319 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: since Ty Cobb she had a home run as a 320 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: teenager and then as a forty year old. Wow. So 321 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: Gary Sheffield has since done that. So russy Stab used 322 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: to play for the Montreal Expos where, of course they 323 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: speak French in Montreal back then. So Gene Mauk was 324 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: the manager of the Expos and he said, I knew 325 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: that Rusty Stob had boku power before I even knew 326 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: what the word boku meant. That's how strong russy Stob was. 327 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 3: He was a great player. On this date, in two 328 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: thousand and three, Carlos Delgado hit four home runs in 329 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 3: one game. What is the distinction of Carlos Delgado? 330 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: He has the most home runs of anybody with the 331 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: last name. 332 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: D Right, jeff you are learning so much from Poppycue. Damn. 333 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting for a second that this is healthy now. 334 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 3: I'm just it is showing that Jeffrey is listening and 335 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 3: he's learning. I'm learning about music. It's not country Western music. 336 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: It's country music. 337 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I taught you that like eight years ago. 338 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 3: We started to still I still stumble with it once 339 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: in a while. But we had Kenny Chesney out at 340 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 3: the pool the other day. 341 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: Playing on the speaker, not playing in person. 342 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been pretty good, all right. Twenty fourteen, 343 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 3: Derek Jeter played his final home game do you remember 344 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: what happened in Derek Jeter. Jeter's final regular season home game. 345 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: He had a walk off single. 346 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: You got a walk off single against the Oreos. How 347 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: great is that? 348 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: In a very Derek Jeter way, right, like it was 349 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: just a Derek Jeter hit single to the opposite field. 350 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: It was incredible. And three thousands hit was a home run, 351 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: that is correct? 352 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, have a fun fact. 353 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: You're not supposed to stump the master here didn't. 354 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: Hit a lot of home runs in his career, so 355 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting Barry Bonds hits. 356 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: It's three hundred hit, it's a home run. It makes sense. 357 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: And who else hit a home run for his three 358 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: thousand hit? You sang karaoke with him? Oh wait box 359 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: right For those of you who don't know.

Well, I'm guessing you had thirty beers 364 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: at the time. It's pretty sure, and you were probably 365 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: not that far behind that night. 366 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: It was my it's my claim to fame. I mean 367 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: I want that on my tombstone. Father, you know, son, husband, 368 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: karaoke partner with Wavebox. 369 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: What do you think? I love it all right? Last one? 370 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: On this date in nineteen fifty two, Sal but Terra 371 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: was born. He had a son, Drew but Terra, who 372 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: played in the major leagues, and they are the only 373 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: father son position players in Major league history to have 374 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: both pitched in a major league game. I find that interesting. 375 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: You know a lot of position players pitched in the 376 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: major leagues now because you're running out of pitchers. Only 377 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: fathers and son to do that. So I saw Sal 378 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: but Terra in spring training last year and I reminded 379 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: him of that, and he told me the whole story 380 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: of the day he pitched. You remember the day son 381 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 3: Drew pitched more than once, but he told me the 382 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 3: whole story about the day they brought him into pitch. 383 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: It's amazing what people remember. 384 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the recall of these players is kind of insane. 385 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: It's like Jim Palmer is able to tell you what 386 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: he threw on an O two count bag in nineteen 387 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: god knows what, right, And I wish I had Kevin 388 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: Brown right now to do the impression is that impression 389 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: of Jim Palmer. 390 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 3: Unbelievably right, Jeffrey and I laugh for what was it, 391 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: three minutes straight as Kevin Brown went on with the 392 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 3: Jim Palmer impersonation. If you haven't heard it and you 393 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: know Jim Popper at all, it's worth the price of 394 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 3: listening to this episode just for Kevin Brown on Jim Palmer. 395 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: We had somebody message us and say they went back 396 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: and listen into our interview with Jim Palmer just to 397 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: hear how accurate the impression was, and they said it 398 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: was spot ony.

And we had a great, great 421 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: listener who was listening saying, what is Ozzy to Oral? 422 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: Thinking it was like Australian to some sort of dental procedure. 423 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: Now it's from Ozzy Smith, the greatest number one of 424 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: all time to Oral Herscheiser, the greatest fifty five of 425 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: all time. We're counting down the greatest players to wear 426 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: each number, according to the Hall of Famer Tim Kirksten. 427 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: So from Ozzy to Oral. We are now on number 428 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: forty eight. 429 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: And we always make this clear, this is my choice 430 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: for the greatest player at each It's not the right choice. 431 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: It's not the correct choice. If you have a different guy, 432 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: give it to me. I'm just saying this is who 433 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 3: I would choose. And there were two really difficult ones 434 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 3: this week, number forty eight. I'm taking Tory Hunter, really 435 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 3: good outfielder, over the Gator, the Gator Ralph gar who 436 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: could really hit. But Tory Hunter made the All Star 437 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: team five times. He won eight gold gloves. One of 438 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 3: the great defensive center fielders I've ever seen. And you 439 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: saw him make a great catch. I believe it was 440 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: in Seattle, right, it was not now Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Milwaukee, 441 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 3: or the for the All Star Game. You hit it? 442 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: He hit it? 443 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Barry Bonds, Yes, Barry did Barry Bonds do? 444 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: When he ran out to the field for the next city, 445 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 3: he picked Tory over his shoulder, like, how dare you 446 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: rob a home run for me? 447 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistaken too, there was a display 448 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: and I remember it like it was yesterday, despite being 449 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: like only eight years old. A display of a player 450 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: on the outfield wall like stretching to make a catch, 451 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: and then Tory Hunter basically did that right next to 452 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: the display. 453 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 3: Bers. 454 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: It was perfect. 455 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 3: It was incredible. So Tory Hunter did a lot of 456 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 3: great things with the Twins. He's one of the leaders 457 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: of the team. He learned from Kirby Puckett and then 458 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: he taught all the young twins. Then he went to 459 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: the Angels and Mike Trout will tell you Albert Poolholes, 460 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: and Tory Hunter really taught him how to play the game, 461 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 3: which is another reason we have him its number forty eight. 462 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 3: But in one of my super Stick stories that I 463 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 3: wrote Tory Hunter, I said to him, I said, what's 464 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 3: your superstition? He goes, my spikes have to be completely 465 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 3: polished before every game. And he said, and I don't 466 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: let the clubhouse kid polish my spikes. I do it 467 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 3: myself because I need my spikes to look great. And 468 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 3: he goes, if I hit say it double in the 469 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: first inning and I have to slide into second. When 470 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 3: I come running off the field, I will take out 471 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 3: my shoeshine kit and shine my shoes before I go 472 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 3: out in the bottom of the first inning. That's how 473 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 3: much it meant to him. As he once told me, 474 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 3: I'm quoting here. This is Tory trying to be funny. 475 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: He said, if you look good, you play good. If 476 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: you play good, they pay good. So thank you Tory 477 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 3: for that, all right. Number forty nine. This was another 478 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: really difficult one. I'm taking Hall of Fame pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, 479 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 3: who wore a bunch of other numbers, but forty nine 480 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: was the first one that he wore and I picked 481 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 3: him over Ron Guidry. And you know what, his nickname 482 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 3: was Jeff the Gator. So the two guys that I 483 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: have in second place on from Ozzy to Oral, both 484 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 3: are nicknamed Gator. 485 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: And you just said see you later, Alligator. Sorry, you're 486 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: not winning this one, all right. 487 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: So Wilhelm saved two hundred and twenty eight games, He 488 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 3: had a two point five two ERA, He made eight 489 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: All Star teams. He pitched until he was forty nine 490 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 3: years old. He won a World Series ring with the 491 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 3: fifty four Giants. He got voted part He got MVP 492 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 3: votes in four different seasons, which is really hard for 493 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: a relief pitcher to do. And Paul Richards one of 494 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 3: the great old baseball guys ever, former catcher, former manager, 495 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: former executive. He was with the Rangers when I started 496 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 3: covering them in eighty two. He told me, the hardest 497 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: pitch of any pitch in the history of baseball, the 498 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: hardest pitch to hit was Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckleball, because it 499 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 3: just the catcher couldn't catch it, the umpire couldn't call it, 500 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: and the hitter couldn't hit it. That's how good his 501 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 3: knuckleball was So this is a terrible story, but I 502 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 3: would tell it anyway. So I'm doing a story. This 503 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 3: is a true story, and this almost killed me. I'm 504 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: doing a story on knuckleball pictures, like how important they 505 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 3: are and how difficult it is to throw a knuckleball. 506 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 3: So I arranged to call Weate Wilhelm on the phone. 507 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: He's a crusty old man on a good day, okay. 508 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: So he says, call me at seven o'clock in my 509 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 3: hotel room. So I call him at seven, no answer. 510 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 3: I call seven, fifteen, seven point thirty, all the way 511 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: up until ten o'clock at night. Now I'm thinking he 512 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: must be out, something must be wrong. So finally, at 513 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: ten o'clock at night, I ring through to wit Wilhelm's room, 514 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 3: and of course I wake him up, and he starts 515 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: screaming at me, how dare you wake me up? You 516 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: were supposed to call me at seven o'clock tonight. I said, 517 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 3: oh wait, I've called you every fifteen minutes since seven pm, 518 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: and he says, well, I'm going back to sleep. I 519 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 3: ended up fighting him later, and I got the story. 520 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 3: I called the front desk of the hotel and said 521 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 3: what happened? I called every fifteen minutes looking for this 522 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: guy because this is pre cell phone, right, And he says, sorry, sir, 523 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: we have two Hoyt Wilhelms in the hotel town. Are 524 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 3: you kidding me? Hoitt Willhelm That nobody in the world 525 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 3: has that name. They're two in the same hotel on 526 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 3: the same night. He screamed at me, and I deserved 527 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: every bit of it. 528 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: His name is my name, Tim. 529 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was so bad. 530 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: All right, dad, Well you were going through all of 531 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: I don't even know how many of these we've done 532 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: this season. We have three to go, with three to go, yeah, 533 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: you know the perfect time. 534 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: Pop Pop figured this out, all right. 535 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: Best of all, Tim the best player at every single organization, 536 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: and today we have the Athletics, right. 537 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 3: And this was really hard because the Athletics are no 538 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: longer the Oakland A's, but they were the Oakland A's, 539 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: then they were the Kansas City A's, then they were 540 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 3: the Philadelphia A's, which goes way back to the early 541 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: nineteen hundred. So I had a lot of people to 542 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 3: choose from. I should probably have taken Eddie Plank, who 543 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 3: was a great pitcher, won over three hundred games, but 544 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 3: we need him for the All Pirate team and we 545 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: get there, walk the Eddie pisk Right. Okay, so I 546 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 3: picked Ricky Henderson, pretty safe choice. Ricky Henderson played fourteen 547 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: years for the A's, stole eight hundred and sixty seven 548 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 3: bases at an eight thirty nine ops. We've been over. 549 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 3: Ricky Algrady is one of the fifteen or twenty greatest 550 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: players of all time, greatest leadoff man ever. 551 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: In I would say of season two of is this 552 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: a great game or what jokes aside? Maybe the most 553 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: mentioned player former player. 554 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 3: I should say, other than Walter Johnson. 555 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: Other than Walter Johnson of course, right, And I didn't 556 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: go to Rickey Henderson High School. 557 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: How many weeks in a row do you think we've 558 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: had Walter Johnson some met that of him on the show. 559 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: You know, I think we everyone committed a grave error 560 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: this this week on Tuesday not mentioning him for the 561 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: Tuesday episode. 562 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: I don't think we mentioned really. 563 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: Tim Daily, who's here right up there, went to Walter 564 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: Johnson High School? I think we did. 565 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: We must have go check the tape, were check the tape? 566 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll send our We'll send our staff and our 567 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: interns on that. 568 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 2: That's just me, that's my job. 569 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Dad, Well. 570 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: You promised it the All Aviation Team, which was challenged 571 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: to you from a member of our. 572 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 3: Family of our listeners, Brian Dill. We love Brian dial. 573 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 3: He writes in and says, how could you leave out 574 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: the All Aviation Team when you go on vacation to 575 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: the Outer Banks to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Brian, You're right. 576 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 3: I I picked the All Beach Team first. I thought 577 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: it was even more relevant, so I added some of 578 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 3: my I can't let we can't just use his I 579 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: think I made it slightly better, even though he is great. Okay, 580 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 3: So his catcher on the All Aviation Team is Jet 581 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: Bandy perfect. The first baseman is Kitty Brandsfield. He played 582 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 3: in the early nineteen hundreds. Where are we Jeff Kitty Hawk? 583 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: Kitty Hawk, Kitty Brandsfield Genius. Pat Rocket is our second basement. 584 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: So we've gone from the right brothers to a rocket. 585 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: Pat Rocket was really a shortstop. We had to fudge 586 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: this well. 587 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna use Roger the Rocket Clemmens. 588 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 3: We thought about that too, but no nicknames, no nicknames, 589 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: but we're trying not to. The third basement was a 590 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: real stretch. It's Jan Brewthers. It sounds like brothers, almost 591 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: smelled like spell like brothers. And the brothers, of course 592 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: are huge here in. 593 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: The right brothers, right brothers. 594 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 3: So our shortstop is George Wright, who's a Hall of Famer. 595 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: Wait, so you're telling me you got right and brothers 596 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: next to each other short stop, third range? 597 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: Excellent? 598 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: Right now, Now, Dan Brewthers was really a first basement. 599 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: We played two games at third base. So we have 600 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: Dan Bruthers a third. Our shortstop is George Wright, hall 601 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 3: of Famer, and our first outfielder is Harry Wright, who 602 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: is George Wright's real brother, and they played in the 603 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 3: Major League. So we have the right brothers lined up, 604 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: I mean seriously. So Brian Dill's list was way better 605 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: than mine. He provided most of these, but I thought 606 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: we had to get the right brothers in there somehow. 607 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: Then we have sky Bolt, also a Brian Dill. We 608 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 3: had Wilbur Howard outfielder. Orville Jurgens is one of our pitchers, 609 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 3: So we had Wilbur and Orville right, and then we 610 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: have Ken Cloud and then our last one. I had 611 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: no idea, but Brian came up with this ed Hawk, 612 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: so we have Kitty Hawk represented on the all So 613 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 3: Brian Dill, thank you very much for that. 614 00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: That was excellent. 615 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: Brian dyl has sent us quite a few messages. If 616 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: you ever want to message us, you can do so 617 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: great game or what dot com. It's that easy you 618 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: scroll down. We finally figured out Dad's phone in order 619 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: to allow him to respond to messages, which is great. 620 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: You're doing a great job. 621 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: I always get a message when you respond to them, 622 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and I'm as you would. 623 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: Say, I'm so proud of you. So way to go, Dad, 624 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: You figure out the technology right. 625 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: So the last segment of the show is a new one. 626 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: It's called three Cards in the Bathroom, not to be 627 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 3: confused with three Coins in a Fountain, which is a 628 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 3: favorite song. But Katcat Kathy, my wife, your mother, she 629 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: set up our entire basement with just a tribute to baseball. 630 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 3: It's an incredible thing that she did, decorating the entire 631 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 3: basement with pictures and pennants and everything else. Well, in 632 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: the bathroom, and I just noticed this recently. There's a 633 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: stack of baseball cards, maybe three hundred of them, in 634 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: the bathroom. 635 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: And it's worth noting too the mirror which was like 636 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: a builder grade, very generic eror which if you know 637 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: my mother, nothing can be generic or builder grade around 638 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: her home. So she decided instead of replacing it with 639 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: some fancy looking mirror, she kind of like paper machede 640 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: I guess you could say, kind of like glued down 641 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: cards around the border of the mirror. Because it's a 642 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: baseball theme bathroom. It's orange. 643 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: There's a picture of Cowrypken Jr. 644 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: One thirty one, which we just found out my wife, 645 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: Emily was born on the day that cow Ripken Junior 646 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: broke Luke Griggs record September sixth nineteen. 647 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: We did a whole show on it, We led with it, 648 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 3: and then he finally says, oh, my gosh, Emily is 649 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 3: born on this state on her birthday. 650 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm watching the Orioles through this whole presentation for the 651 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary, and it was my wife's thirtieth birthday. I mean, 652 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: just talk about over our heads. We almost retired from. 653 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,479 Speaker 3: Podcasting that we are terrible.
