As we say good morning to Hank Aaron, 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.680 Hall of Famer, and on this day that forty six 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.600 years ago, he homered off Al Downing and number seven fifteen. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.720 How are you, Hank? I'm fine, Dan, How are you? 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.560 I'm doing okay. I actually went back and I listened 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.280 to Vince Scully's call of the home run. When's the 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.840 last time that you sat down and watched that? Oh, 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.440 my goodness, has been a time. It's been a while. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.240 It has been a long time, Dan, I haven't. I 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.040 haven't watched it that much. What do you remember about 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.919 that night? Like? Is there something that never came out 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.720 or something that just special for you? Something before the game, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.680 after the game that happened. So you know, the thing 0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:00.680 that I remember most about that night was my mother. Uh. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.840 She she was, she she was. She was so enthused, 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.639 she was so happy. And and when I hit the 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.040 home run and got around the basis to home fleet, 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.079 she grabbed me. And I had never been hooked before 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.600 in my life like that. I did notice that that 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.440 she was holding on for dear life to you. She 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.600 just didn't want to let you go. No, she didn't. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.639 She she was quite happy and I was and I 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.360 was thrilled. What did you keep from that night? Uh? 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:46.200 I think I remember that night. I remember most was 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.320 the fact that what did you keep your uniform, did 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.240 you keep the bat, did you like what? What memorabilia 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.520 did you keep from that night? I don't. I don't 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.400 think I kept anything, as so as that's concerned, I 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.720 don't think. I don't think I kept in it. I 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.960 think I went home, Dan. I think I went home 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.040 my wife and eye bowl and we prayed and and 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.440 I God forgiveness and thanked him for everything that he 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.120 had done for me. And and that's the thing I 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.640 remember most. Did you thank him for that pitch that 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.400 Al threw to you that was up in the strike zone? 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.320 You know, you know a lot of people talk about 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.240 that pitch, but that was you know, you know, he 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.280 was quite a picture. He won twenty games before. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.960 you know, he used to picture to the y anchors, 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.680 and he was quite a picture. And I had never 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.719 had good luck against him, And for some reason, it 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:54.120 was the night that come calling and I hit the 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.520 home run off of it, and you homered in Cincinnati 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.960 off Jack Billingham. And then I think, did Bowie Que 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.960 and the commissioner want you to wait to go to 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.640 Atlanta or you wanted to wait to go to Atlanta? 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.320 To try to set the record there. He made you 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.520 play that maybe the next day in Cincinnati. Does that 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.279 sound right? Yes? He wanted me. He wanted me to 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.279 play the next day. Yes, he wanted me. And still 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.120 and stood and stood. Hit. I opened the season enough. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.680 I hit the home run, and then I wanted to 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:34.080 wait and do the rest of it in mil in 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:40.479 Atlanta here, and he said no, He said, you buy 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.080 your record. So you played every other day, and said 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.000 you should played the day. How different would your career 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.599 been if you played in a bigger market. I think 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.640 it would have been a lot different. But then I 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.640 don't know, you know, I kind of were you a 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.640 small market guy like you were in milwalk in Atlanta. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.039 If if I swapped you and Willie Mays or you 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:08.160 in Mickey Mantle, what your personality would you've done? Okay? 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.839 In New York as opposed to Atlanta and in Milwaukee. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:18.240 I think I'd have got along as far as very well, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.599 But I don't know that I would have. I would 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.720 have been the same type of ball player that I 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:32.000 was that I was in Milwaukee. Milwaukee was made for me. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:38.880 I loved Milwaukee. I was a country boy. Milwaukee was 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:44.000 a country city, and I just loved being in Milwaukee. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.120 What other sports did you play growing up? I played. 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.239 I played a little basketball. Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:56.440 not basketball. Take that back looking at basketball. I played 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.919 a little football, played a little football. But other than that, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.599 uh Dan, I didn't play any other sport. I played baseball. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:10.480 I was strictly a baseball player. I played baseball from 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:17.240 from eight years old until I got to be twelve 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.120 with eighteen How good a running were you? A running back? 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.560 I could run, I could run pretty well. I didn't. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:31.680 I didn't have the the the the feet like some 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:37.520 of these wide receivers a running back to ad. But 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.800 I could. I could, I could, I could make I 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.240 could make Hay, you can make do things I could. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.880 I could do things that I wanted to do. But 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.520 I also I think how much it was the most? 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.640 Maybe I waited. I waited the most that we was 0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:00.200 one eight Well that was it. I never waited more 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:05.480 than one eighty. I always if I got one hundred 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.160 and eighty five one hundred and ninety pounds, I was overweak. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.480 But you had those quick risks like Mike Schmidt and 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.960 you were the two guys. I just remember it was 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.040 a flick of the risk because you weren't a big guy. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.880 I think your lower body was a little bigger. But 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.120 how do you explain all of those home runs with 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.800 not being a big guy. I did most of my 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.720 favor with my risks for some reason. I don't know why. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:39.679 But I had very strong hands and I had very 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:45.320 strong risks, and I did everything with my risk. Yeah, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.319 you did it quite well. Forty six years ago, tonight 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.680 he hit home run number seven fifteen. We're talking to 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.560 Hank Karon. You know we've talked about this before. You 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.360 were kind enough to share your feelings going into this 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.320 that you got letters, horrible letters. People didn't want a 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.120 black man breaking Babe Bruce all time home run record. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.160 And then here you are in the South, you hit 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.920 the home run, and then you have these two fans 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:13.600 who run on the field as you're rounding second. What 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:18.160 were you thinking, Yes, yes, these two kids run on 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:23.679 the field. And actually they meant nothing. They didn't mean 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.280 to do in a harm to me. They had fit 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.520 before the game started that if I hit a home run, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.400 time present itself, that they were going to run home 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:40.200 field and make themselves presentable. It looked like they were 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.160 trying to take off your batting helmet. Ye, well, yeah, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.240 I don't know, you know, you know, and one of 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.680 them came out to be a doctor, and then and 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.760 they turn out to be pretty good citizens. Oh man, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.440 I cried that night when you Homer. I was watching 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.920 in Cincinnati, and of course I'm a big red machine guy. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.000 But yeah, I had your poster up on the wall, 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.439 and I just I still have that that. I think 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.080 it was McGregor that had the poster with every one 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.360 of the names of the pictures that you hit home 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.959 runs off of leading up to seven fifteen. Do you 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.160 remember that poster? I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, you 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:23.160 know I should send it to you. Do you wish 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.800 you would? Do you collect memorabili at all? Yeah? If 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.679 I go into a little a little bit, I don't everything, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:36.880 you know, everything that I have, then, everything, everything, worryings, watches, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:42.880 anything that I have, I've given it to Cooperstound. I 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:48.800 give everything I ever add to Cooperstound. I don't own anything. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.440 And somebody said, well, well, why why did you do that? Well, 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.840 I said it belongs to Cooperstound. I said, I played 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:02.320 baseball before people before lots of lots and lots of people, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.839 and I said it belonged for them to enjoy. They 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.320 want to go to the Cooper Sound to look at it, 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.520 That's what they need to do. And I also thought 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.960 at the time when Bonds broke your record, it was 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.520 unfair to bring you into that. I always felt bad 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.800 about that. I don't know how you felt, but it 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.600 was like, who do you think is the old time 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.760 home run champ? Like I always viewed you as the 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.360 old time home run champ. He had more home runs, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.719 You're the old time home run champ. That's the way 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.720 I always answered it. But what thanks very much? Did 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.880 you feel uncomfortable when you were asked about that with Bonds? 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.959 Like you were brought into it somehow, explained Verry Bonds. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.679 I'm sorry, I didn't need you. It felt like, you know, 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.840 they were unfair in saying let me bring you in, 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.400 like and what do you think of Bonds breaking your record? 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.160 And like they were bringing you into a controversy there. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.080 I just the they were they were and I and 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.520 the only way that I could get out of it 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.880 was at that make a statement and get it out 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:08.920 of the way. Yeah, yeah, well it's great doing I'm doing. Okay, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.080 I'm talking you know I've been. I've been watching you 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.680 show you you're doing a magnificent job. Well, I'm during 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.400 the commercial break here, I'm gonna go back and if 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.880 I can get a cameraman, I'm gonna show that poster 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.520 to you, and and I mean it. I'd love to 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.400 send it to you if it but it's you, and 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.880 it's McGregor, uh, Sporting Goods, and it's got all your 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.080 your home runs that you hit. Do you remember that 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:38.000 first one? I do what? Who did you hit it 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:48.640 off of? Big Rash? You? Okay? What did he throw? You? 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.600 I love you. You're a treasure and uh, you know, 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.880 I hope we get many more anniversaries to talk about this. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.400 But thank you again.

That's Hank Aaron Braves 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.280 Hall of Famer. Yeah, I had that poster. I had 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.160 a couple of posters. I had the poster of the 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.000 home run on my wall growing up, and I don't 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.719 know what it was about Hank Aaron other than there 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:33.640 was a quiet greatness, quiet dignity to him. You never 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.320 read anything about him. And I wonder if I put 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.080 Willie Mays in Atlanta and Hank Aaron in New York. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.560 I mean, Hank was still going to be a great player. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.240 I always wonder about Like, to me, Mickey Mantell would 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.120 have been better in a smaller market. Willie Mays was 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.440 great in New York. Willy Mays was great wherever. But 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.199 you have to have that right personality. And it felt 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.680 like the bigger city was going to do damage to 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.959 Mickey Mantell off the field, and I wonder if he 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.600 would have been in a smaller market. He's from a 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.320 small town in Oklahoma, and Hank Aaron small town guy. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.600 And he played in Atlanta and played in Milwaukee. He's 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.360 eighty six years of age, folks, eighty six years of age, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.600 but not much fanfare. You watch him and you know 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.360 he had thirty seven hundred hits in his career. He 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.080 was a Gold Glove winner. I mean, he was a 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.920 great all around player. He wasn't the athlete that Manlin 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.400 Mays were, or didn't have the flare that they did 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.880 he never hit forty home runs. I don't think in 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.400 a year he may have maybe once. He never hit fifty. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.200 I should say, yeah, Paul, he hit forty one time. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.680 He hit oh boy, forty six another time. But is 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.160 he usually had anywhere between twenty five and thirty five 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.000 home runs but forever, But that's a power hitter. Back 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.720 then he hit twenty five home runs. If you got 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.520 to forty like that was really something special to hear. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.800 Vince Scully with the call, and you know, he talked 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.080 about a black man in the Deep South getting a 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:13.400 standing ovation from a white audience. I mean, Vin captures moments, 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.400 and you know, you just imagine that you got Hank 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.520 Aaron and Vince Scully, two of the great gentlemen in 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.040 the history of baseball, and they're about the same age. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:29.080 And Vin with the call. Uh. I think Milo Hamilton 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.520 had the call on local radio in Atlanta. Kurt Gaudi 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.440 was there, I think for NBC. And then you had 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.040 Vin in town because the Dodgers were in town. Yeah, po, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.720 how want to do this to you? But if I 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.840 told you when you were in high school that Hank 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.720 Aaron will be on saying I love your show. I'm like, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.280 I like, listen to your watching your show. That's that's 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.560 that's nuts. You know what. I've been very very fortunate, 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.800 um that a lot of these guys that I got 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.280 a chance to Jerry West. I mean, I never take 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.440 it for granted when Jerry West comes on. Never Johnny Bench. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:06.160 Never take it for granted because growing up and you're watching, 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.200 have you said to me when I'm in high schooling? 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.040 By the way, you're gonna interview those guys and they're 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.000 going to tell you that they like your show, And 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.160 I'm gonna go, what show. You're gonna have a show. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.840 You're also gonna have these guys called dan Ats, but 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.080 we'll get to that another time. You're gonna have your 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:27.000 own show. Oh, like what my show here in Cincinnati? 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.040 Yeah no, no, Actually you're gonna be in Milford, Connecticut, 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.120 and it's called a man cave. A man cave. Yeah, 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:39.320 you're gonna have a guy named mclovin. All right, Yeah, okay, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.640 I don't sign up for that. All right, We'll talk 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.840 to the best women's college basketball player in the last 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.280 two years, Sabrina I and ask they'll join us on 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.960 loan from Oregon. I gotta find out the jersey that 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.640 somebody sent to me is did somebody take that from 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.400 Oregon Sports Department? Because I have her jersey, it's not signed. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.639 And do you think that Hank Aaron would want that poster? 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.400 Because I got it framed and I I don't want 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.640 to send it, you know, should I should I send it? 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.960 What do you think? Fritzie? Absolutely, I think he genuinely 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.760 would love to have that. Then that was awesome that 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.480 you thought to Kay. All right, then I'll i'll during 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.320 the commercial break, I'll go get that because somebody sent 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.960 me that. I had it in my room growing up, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.400 and I remember when my mom made me clear everything 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.280 out because we had to do something pesky like sell 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.360 the house, and I lost that poster. And then somebody 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.880 sent me that poster. In fact, we're showing it right now. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.720 It's it's Hank turning on a fastball. And though he's 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.720 not big at all, but those wrists, Mike Schmidt and 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.679 Hank Aaron had the two of the more marvelous, effortless 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:57.200 swings in baseball. It was just a quick turn, flip 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.119 of the wrist and it was gone. And Schmidt he 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.440 did that as well. All right, that's fun, great, job 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.520 Fritzie and tracking down Hank Aaron and we'll clean up 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.399 our act. Now we know that Hank's watching. You know, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.399 this is one of those where Seaton's always going. You know, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.960 if I would know that such and such as watching, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.359 you know, i'd watch what I say or what we 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.840 do around here. You know, immediately gets so embarrassed and like, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.760 I think of all the dumb stuff I've done, Oh 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.760 my god, And I think Hank Aaron might have seen that. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:31.160 I know. Yeah, we're doing groin humor and poor Hanks there, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.840 you know, going what's wrong with you? Dan? I'm gonna 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.439 pray he's probably praying for me, all right.

She 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:39.040 had to convince Nike to sell these jerseys, and rightfully, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.760 so I mean that they should be selling this, you know, 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.520 with women wanting to have that and having somebody to 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.160 look up to and having jerseys to buy. So she'll 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:53.080 join us. Coming up here, Sam, and California joins us. Hi, Sam, 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.720 what do you have for me today? Hey? I love 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.520 that interview with Hank Karen. I'm in my mid fifties. 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.080 My granddad was day junior high baseball coach, and my 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.120 great grandfathers in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm named 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.439 after him, Wahoo Sam Crawford. So when I was in 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.600 seventh grade, my granddad said, Hey, I'm going to take 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.639 you to Dodger Stadium and get you a ball signed 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.119 by Hank Aaron. Because Bill Crandell, who was a Dodger 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.040 coach of my first base coach, that he was a 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.600 junior high student of my granddad, so they knew each other. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:24.600 So when I told my little league team. Hey, I'm 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.560 going to a Dodger game tomorrow. I'm going to get 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.720 a ball signed by Hank Aaron. One kid said, get 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.119 a ball signed for me, and I said, okay. So 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:36.280 I took two baseballs, one for my friend and one. 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.800 I have a baseball signed by my great grandfather, Sam Crawford, 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.040 who's in the Hall of Fame for the most triples, yes, 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.640 and the most inside the park home run. So there's 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.399 one baseball in the world this guyt Hank Aaron on 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.440 it and Sam Crawford. I thought Sam had like nineteen 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:56.520 triples one year something crazy. Yes, most inside the park 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:00.560 home runs, most triples records that will never ever broken 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.119 in a dead ball era. And I have actually a 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.640 baseball that he gave me, handed down to me. One 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:13.240 baseball tie Cobb, Walter Johnson and my and a few 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.800 other signatures on there. Awesome. Thank thank you for sharing. Sin. 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.400 I appreciate that some nice responses to the Hank Aaron 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:24.159 interview is from A Scott who said, Sir, I'm just 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.200 sitting here in my office listening to your interview with 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.480 Hank Aaron, best long ball hitter ever. Tears are running 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.680 down my cheeks. What an incredibly kind gentle man. Overcame 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.960 so much, What a great interview. Thanks for this special moment. 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.720 You guys, you're truly the best of what you do. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.720 Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed that. I have such 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:46.479 admiration for him. And he talked about this, He's been 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.320 on the show a couple of times, and he talked 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.720 about the hate mail that he got. All he did 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:54.360 is show up and play baseball. You know, there there 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.880 was no reason to ever be a great hankcare ever, 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.399 and all he did is play baseball. But people didn't 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.320 want a black man to pass Babe Ruth because Babe 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.840 Ruth this iconic figure. And all Hank Aaron did to 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:11.800 show up every day then play baseball. But the some 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.840 of the hate mail that he got was that's why 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:19.520 there were snipers at Fulton County Stadium that night and 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.080 they had Stay Troopers to protect him. In fact, you'll 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.119 see in the video when he crossed his home plate 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:28.320 that his security guys there, he's got binoculars and he's 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.840 got a gun. I mean, he's packing. But they had 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.360 snipers on the roof because they and then you see 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:35.560 these two kids run on the field with Hank around 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.320 second base, and they were taking their lives into their 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:42.159 own hands, because how do you know if somebody's going 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:46.080 to do something to Hank? Are Chuck and Kentucky joins us, Hey, Chuck, 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:50.920 what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan, Chuck 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:57.000 and letend in South Carolina. Oh okay, Hie eighties avid listener, 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:02.000 Hey really appreciate your interviews period. I think Hank Inns 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:08.280 probably the most sincere baseball player that I ever saw play. 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:10.439
