Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, and on this day that forty six
Speaker 1: years ago, he homered off Al Downing and number seven fifteen.
Speaker 1: How are you, Hank? I'm fine, Dan, How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing okay. I actually went back and I listened
Speaker 1: to Vince Scully's call of the home run. When's the
Speaker 1: last time that you sat down and watched that? Oh,
Speaker 1: my goodness, has been a time. It's been a while.
Speaker 1: It has been a long time, Dan, I haven't. I
Speaker 1: haven't watched it that much. What do you remember about
Speaker 1: that night? Like? Is there something that never came out
Speaker 1: or something that just special for you? Something before the game,
Speaker 1: after the game that happened. So you know, the thing
Speaker 1: that I remember most about that night was my mother. Uh.
Speaker 1: She she was, she she was. She was so enthused,
Speaker 1: she was so happy. And and when I hit the
Speaker 1: home run and got around the basis to home fleet,
Speaker 1: she grabbed me. And I had never been hooked before
Speaker 1: in my life like that. I did notice that that
Speaker 1: she was holding on for dear life to you. She
Speaker 1: just didn't want to let you go. No, she didn't.
Speaker 1: She she was quite happy and I was and I
Speaker 1: was thrilled. What did you keep from that night? Uh?
Speaker 1: I think I remember that night. I remember most was
Speaker 1: the fact that what did you keep your uniform, did
Speaker 1: you keep the bat, did you like what? What memorabilia
Speaker 1: did you keep from that night? I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think I kept anything, as so as that's concerned, I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think I kept in it. I
Speaker 1: think I went home, Dan. I think I went home
Speaker 1: my wife and eye bowl and we prayed and and
Speaker 1: I God forgiveness and thanked him for everything that he
Speaker 1: had done for me. And and that's the thing I
Speaker 1: remember most. Did you thank him for that pitch that
Speaker 1: Al threw to you that was up in the strike zone?
Speaker 1: You know, you know a lot of people talk about
Speaker 1: that pitch, but that was you know, you know, he
Speaker 1: was quite a picture. He won twenty games before. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he used to picture to the y anchors,
Speaker 1: and he was quite a picture. And I had never
Speaker 1: had good luck against him, And for some reason, it
Speaker 1: was the night that come calling and I hit the
Speaker 1: home run off of it, and you homered in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: off Jack Billingham. And then I think, did Bowie Que
Speaker 1: and the commissioner want you to wait to go to
Speaker 1: Atlanta or you wanted to wait to go to Atlanta?
Speaker 1: To try to set the record there. He made you
Speaker 1: play that maybe the next day in Cincinnati. Does that
Speaker 1: sound right? Yes? He wanted me. He wanted me to
Speaker 1: play the next day. Yes, he wanted me. And still
Speaker 1: and stood and stood. Hit. I opened the season enough.
Speaker 1: I hit the home run, and then I wanted to
Speaker 1: wait and do the rest of it in mil in
Speaker 1: Atlanta here, and he said no, He said, you buy
Speaker 1: your record. So you played every other day, and said
Speaker 1: you should played the day. How different would your career
Speaker 1: been if you played in a bigger market. I think
Speaker 1: it would have been a lot different. But then I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I kind of were you a
Speaker 1: small market guy like you were in milwalk in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: If if I swapped you and Willie Mays or you
Speaker 1: in Mickey Mantle, what your personality would you've done? Okay?
Speaker 1: In New York as opposed to Atlanta and in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: I think I'd have got along as far as very well,
Speaker 1: But I don't know that I would have. I would
Speaker 1: have been the same type of ball player that I
Speaker 1: was that I was in Milwaukee. Milwaukee was made for me.
Speaker 1: I loved Milwaukee. I was a country boy. Milwaukee was
Speaker 1: a country city, and I just loved being in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: What other sports did you play growing up? I played.
Speaker 1: I played a little basketball. Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: not basketball. Take that back looking at basketball. I played
Speaker 1: a little football, played a little football. But other than that,
Speaker 1: uh Dan, I didn't play any other sport. I played baseball.
Speaker 1: I was strictly a baseball player. I played baseball from
Speaker 1: from eight years old until I got to be twelve
Speaker 1: with eighteen How good a running were you? A running back?
Speaker 1: I could run, I could run pretty well. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't have the the the the feet like some
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers a running back to ad. But
Speaker 1: I could. I could, I could, I could make I
Speaker 1: could make Hay, you can make do things I could.
Speaker 1: I could do things that I wanted to do. But
Speaker 1: I also I think how much it was the most?
Speaker 1: Maybe I waited. I waited the most that we was
Speaker 1: one eight Well that was it. I never waited more
Speaker 1: than one eighty. I always if I got one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty five one hundred and ninety pounds, I was overweak.
Speaker 1: But you had those quick risks like Mike Schmidt and
Speaker 1: you were the two guys. I just remember it was
Speaker 1: a flick of the risk because you weren't a big guy.
Speaker 1: I think your lower body was a little bigger. But
Speaker 1: how do you explain all of those home runs with
Speaker 1: not being a big guy. I did most of my
Speaker 1: favor with my risks for some reason. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: But I had very strong hands and I had very
Speaker 1: strong risks, and I did everything with my risk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you did it quite well. Forty six years ago, tonight
Speaker 1: he hit home run number seven fifteen. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Hank Karon. You know we've talked about this before. You
Speaker 1: were kind enough to share your feelings going into this
Speaker 1: that you got letters, horrible letters. People didn't want a
Speaker 1: black man breaking Babe Bruce all time home run record.
Speaker 1: And then here you are in the South, you hit
Speaker 1: the home run, and then you have these two fans
Speaker 1: who run on the field as you're rounding second. What
Speaker 1: were you thinking, Yes, yes, these two kids run on
Speaker 1: the field. And actually they meant nothing. They didn't mean
Speaker 1: to do in a harm to me. They had fit
Speaker 1: before the game started that if I hit a home run,
Speaker 1: time present itself, that they were going to run home
Speaker 1: field and make themselves presentable. It looked like they were
Speaker 1: trying to take off your batting helmet. Ye, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, you know, and one of
Speaker 1: them came out to be a doctor, and then and
Speaker 1: they turn out to be pretty good citizens. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I cried that night when you Homer. I was watching
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and of course I'm a big red machine guy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had your poster up on the wall,
Speaker 1: and I just I still have that that. I think
Speaker 1: it was McGregor that had the poster with every one
Speaker 1: of the names of the pictures that you hit home
Speaker 1: runs off of leading up to seven fifteen. Do you
Speaker 1: remember that poster? I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know I should send it to you. Do you wish
Speaker 1: you would? Do you collect memorabili at all? Yeah? If
Speaker 1: I go into a little a little bit, I don't everything,
Speaker 1: you know, everything that I have, then, everything, everything, worryings, watches,
Speaker 1: anything that I have, I've given it to Cooperstound. I
Speaker 1: give everything I ever add to Cooperstound. I don't own anything.
Speaker 1: And somebody said, well, well, why why did you do that? Well,
Speaker 1: I said it belongs to Cooperstound. I said, I played
Speaker 1: baseball before people before lots of lots and lots of people,
Speaker 1: and I said it belonged for them to enjoy. They
Speaker 1: want to go to the Cooper Sound to look at it,
Speaker 1: That's what they need to do. And I also thought
Speaker 1: at the time when Bonds broke your record, it was
Speaker 1: unfair to bring you into that. I always felt bad
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know how you felt, but it
Speaker 1: was like, who do you think is the old time
Speaker 1: home run champ? Like I always viewed you as the
Speaker 1: old time home run champ. He had more home runs,
Speaker 1: You're the old time home run champ. That's the way
Speaker 1: I always answered it. But what thanks very much? Did
Speaker 1: you feel uncomfortable when you were asked about that with Bonds?
Speaker 1: Like you were brought into it somehow, explained Verry Bonds.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I didn't need you. It felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: they were unfair in saying let me bring you in,
Speaker 1: like and what do you think of Bonds breaking your record?
Speaker 1: And like they were bringing you into a controversy there.
Speaker 1: I just the they were they were and I and
Speaker 1: the only way that I could get out of it
Speaker 1: was at that make a statement and get it out
Speaker 1: of the way. Yeah, yeah, well it's great doing I'm doing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm talking you know I've been. I've been watching you
Speaker 1: show you you're doing a magnificent job. Well, I'm during
Speaker 1: the commercial break here, I'm gonna go back and if
Speaker 1: I can get a cameraman, I'm gonna show that poster
Speaker 1: to you, and and I mean it. I'd love to
Speaker 1: send it to you if it but it's you, and
Speaker 1: it's McGregor, uh, Sporting Goods, and it's got all your
Speaker 1: your home runs that you hit. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: first one? I do what? Who did you hit it
Speaker 1: off of? Big Rash? You? Okay? What did he throw? You?
Speaker 1: I love you. You're a treasure and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I hope we get many more anniversaries to talk about this.
Speaker 1: But thank you again. I know you're probably being inundated
Speaker 1: with people wanting to talk to you on this anniversary,
Speaker 1: and thank you. You always have a place in my heart.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Danny, good luck to you and
Speaker 1: may God bless you. All right. That's Hank Aaron Braves
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Yeah, I had that poster. I had
Speaker 1: a couple of posters. I had the poster of the
Speaker 1: home run on my wall growing up, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what it was about Hank Aaron other than there
Speaker 1: was a quiet greatness, quiet dignity to him. You never
Speaker 1: read anything about him. And I wonder if I put
Speaker 1: Willie Mays in Atlanta and Hank Aaron in New York.
Speaker 1: I mean, Hank was still going to be a great player.
Speaker 1: I always wonder about Like, to me, Mickey Mantell would
Speaker 1: have been better in a smaller market. Willie Mays was
Speaker 1: great in New York. Willy Mays was great wherever. But
Speaker 1: you have to have that right personality. And it felt
Speaker 1: like the bigger city was going to do damage to
Speaker 1: Mickey Mantell off the field, and I wonder if he
Speaker 1: would have been in a smaller market. He's from a
Speaker 1: small town in Oklahoma, and Hank Aaron small town guy.
Speaker 1: And he played in Atlanta and played in Milwaukee. He's
Speaker 1: eighty six years of age, folks, eighty six years of age,
Speaker 1: but not much fanfare. You watch him and you know
Speaker 1: he had thirty seven hundred hits in his career. He
Speaker 1: was a Gold Glove winner. I mean, he was a
Speaker 1: great all around player. He wasn't the athlete that Manlin
Speaker 1: Mays were, or didn't have the flare that they did
Speaker 1: he never hit forty home runs. I don't think in
Speaker 1: a year he may have maybe once. He never hit fifty.
Speaker 1: I should say, yeah, Paul, he hit forty one time.
Speaker 1: He hit oh boy, forty six another time. But is
Speaker 1: he usually had anywhere between twenty five and thirty five
Speaker 1: home runs but forever, But that's a power hitter. Back
Speaker 1: then he hit twenty five home runs. If you got
Speaker 1: to forty like that was really something special to hear.
Speaker 1: Vince Scully with the call, and you know, he talked
Speaker 1: about a black man in the Deep South getting a
Speaker 1: standing ovation from a white audience. I mean, Vin captures moments,
Speaker 1: and you know, you just imagine that you got Hank
Speaker 1: Aaron and Vince Scully, two of the great gentlemen in
Speaker 1: the history of baseball, and they're about the same age.
Speaker 1: And Vin with the call. Uh. I think Milo Hamilton
Speaker 1: had the call on local radio in Atlanta. Kurt Gaudi
Speaker 1: was there, I think for NBC. And then you had
Speaker 1: Vin in town because the Dodgers were in town. Yeah, po,
Speaker 1: how want to do this to you? But if I
Speaker 1: told you when you were in high school that Hank
Speaker 1: Aaron will be on saying I love your show. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I like, listen to your watching your show. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's nuts. You know what. I've been very very fortunate,
Speaker 1: um that a lot of these guys that I got
Speaker 1: a chance to Jerry West. I mean, I never take
Speaker 1: it for granted when Jerry West comes on. Never Johnny Bench.
Speaker 1: Never take it for granted because growing up and you're watching,
Speaker 1: have you said to me when I'm in high schooling?
Speaker 1: By the way, you're gonna interview those guys and they're
Speaker 1: going to tell you that they like your show, And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, what show. You're gonna have a show.
Speaker 1: You're also gonna have these guys called dan Ats, but
Speaker 1: we'll get to that another time. You're gonna have your
Speaker 1: own show. Oh, like what my show here in Cincinnati?
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, Actually you're gonna be in Milford, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: and it's called a man cave. A man cave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a guy named mclovin. All right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't sign up for that. All right, We'll talk
Speaker 1: to the best women's college basketball player in the last
Speaker 1: two years, Sabrina I and ask they'll join us on
Speaker 1: loan from Oregon. I gotta find out the jersey that
Speaker 1: somebody sent to me is did somebody take that from
Speaker 1: Oregon Sports Department? Because I have her jersey, it's not signed.
Speaker 1: And do you think that Hank Aaron would want that poster?
Speaker 1: Because I got it framed and I I don't want
Speaker 1: to send it, you know, should I should I send it?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Fritzie? Absolutely, I think he genuinely
Speaker 1: would love to have that. Then that was awesome that
Speaker 1: you thought to Kay. All right, then I'll i'll during
Speaker 1: the commercial break, I'll go get that because somebody sent
Speaker 1: me that. I had it in my room growing up,
Speaker 1: and I remember when my mom made me clear everything
Speaker 1: out because we had to do something pesky like sell
Speaker 1: the house, and I lost that poster. And then somebody
Speaker 1: sent me that poster. In fact, we're showing it right now.
Speaker 1: It's it's Hank turning on a fastball. And though he's
Speaker 1: not big at all, but those wrists, Mike Schmidt and
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron had the two of the more marvelous, effortless
Speaker 1: swings in baseball. It was just a quick turn, flip
Speaker 1: of the wrist and it was gone. And Schmidt he
Speaker 1: did that as well. All right, that's fun, great, job
Speaker 1: Fritzie and tracking down Hank Aaron and we'll clean up
Speaker 1: our act. Now we know that Hank's watching. You know,
Speaker 1: this is one of those where Seaton's always going. You know,
Speaker 1: if I would know that such and such as watching,
Speaker 1: you know, i'd watch what I say or what we
Speaker 1: do around here. You know, immediately gets so embarrassed and like,
Speaker 1: I think of all the dumb stuff I've done, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, And I think Hank Aaron might have seen that.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, we're doing groin humor and poor Hanks there,
Speaker 1: you know, going what's wrong with you? Dan? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pray he's probably praying for me, all right. Coming up
Speaker 1: on nineteen after the hour, we'll get some phone calls.
Speaker 1: But that was great, Thanks for allowing me to take
Speaker 1: a trip down memory lane. Nineteen after the hour. This

Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey? I love
Speaker 1: that interview with Hank Karen. I'm in my mid fifties.
Speaker 1: My granddad was day junior high baseball coach, and my
Speaker 1: great grandfathers in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm named
Speaker 1: after him, Wahoo Sam Crawford. So when I was in
Speaker 1: seventh grade, my granddad said, Hey, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: you to Dodger Stadium and get you a ball signed
Speaker 1: by Hank Aaron. Because Bill Crandell, who was a Dodger
Speaker 1: coach of my first base coach, that he was a
Speaker 1: junior high student of my granddad, so they knew each other.
Speaker 1: So when I told my little league team. Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: going to a Dodger game tomorrow. I'm going to get
Speaker 1: a ball signed by Hank Aaron. One kid said, get
Speaker 1: a ball signed for me, and I said, okay. So
Speaker 1: I took two baseballs, one for my friend and one.
Speaker 1: I have a baseball signed by my great grandfather, Sam Crawford,
Speaker 1: who's in the Hall of Fame for the most triples, yes,
Speaker 1: and the most inside the park home run. So there's
Speaker 1: one baseball in the world this guyt Hank Aaron on
Speaker 1: it and Sam Crawford. I thought Sam had like nineteen
Speaker 1: triples one year something crazy. Yes, most inside the park
Speaker 1: home runs, most triples records that will never ever broken
Speaker 1: in a dead ball era. And I have actually a
Speaker 1: baseball that he gave me, handed down to me. One
Speaker 1: baseball tie Cobb, Walter Johnson and my and a few
Speaker 1: other signatures on there. Awesome. Thank thank you for sharing. Sin.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that some nice responses to the Hank Aaron
Speaker 1: interview is from A Scott who said, Sir, I'm just
Speaker 1: sitting here in my office listening to your interview with
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron, best long ball hitter ever. Tears are running
Speaker 1: down my cheeks. What an incredibly kind gentle man. Overcame
Speaker 1: so much, What a great interview. Thanks for this special moment.
Speaker 1: You guys, you're truly the best of what you do.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed that. I have such
Speaker 1: admiration for him. And he talked about this, He's been
Speaker 1: on the show a couple of times, and he talked
Speaker 1: about the hate mail that he got. All he did
Speaker 1: is show up and play baseball. You know, there there
Speaker 1: was no reason to ever be a great hankcare ever,
Speaker 1: and all he did is play baseball. But people didn't
Speaker 1: want a black man to pass Babe Ruth because Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth this iconic figure. And all Hank Aaron did to
Speaker 1: show up every day then play baseball. But the some
Speaker 1: of the hate mail that he got was that's why
Speaker 1: there were snipers at Fulton County Stadium that night and
Speaker 1: they had Stay Troopers to protect him. In fact, you'll
Speaker 1: see in the video when he crossed his home plate
Speaker 1: that his security guys there, he's got binoculars and he's
Speaker 1: got a gun. I mean, he's packing. But they had
Speaker 1: snipers on the roof because they and then you see
Speaker 1: these two kids run on the field with Hank around
Speaker 1: second base, and they were taking their lives into their
Speaker 1: own hands, because how do you know if somebody's going
Speaker 1: to do something to Hank? Are Chuck and Kentucky joins us, Hey, Chuck,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan, Chuck
Speaker 1: and letend in South Carolina. Oh okay, Hie eighties avid listener,
Speaker 1: Hey really appreciate your interviews period. I think Hank Inns
Speaker 1: probably the most sincere baseball player that I ever saw play.
Speaker 1: Got to see him play in Pulton County, got to
Speaker 1: watch Kirk back in Drysdale puts a double header when
Speaker 1: I was in Little league. I'm an avid Yankees fan, though,
Speaker 1: but I pull for Hanking to brazen Joe and uh
Speaker 1: really do love your show. And hey, y'all, cut y'all
Speaker 1: cut fixed your little slack there. He takes a lot
Speaker 1: of grief and handles it all right. Well, thank you George,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chunk. I appreciate that. Fritzie. Did you set
Speaker 1: up Chuck to call in so he would say something
Speaker 1: nice about it? Have given him a few buck? I
Speaker 1: didn't want to ask. Jeremy and Texas joins us, Hey, Jeremy, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: that's going man love listening to y'all. Hey, good question
Speaker 1: or a theory here for Brady leaving the Patriots. Maybe
Speaker 1: he wants to go in US. He win a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and be the first quarterback to win a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl in both AFC and NFC, and two continue going
Speaker 1: for the records. You know, he's only one eight touchdowns
Speaker 1: behind Breeze. And I think if if Brady would have
Speaker 1: retired brief while, I would have retired. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think they're both battling now for those those records
Speaker 1: at their end of their career right now. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think that Brady Brady, I think will play two years.
Speaker 1: I think Breeze will play one. I think Breeze will
Speaker 1: go into the broadcast booth. Now, he's competitive, Breeze is
Speaker 1: extremely competitive. But I don't know if he's gonna say
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick right now. He's got a good
Speaker 1: team too. Now, I don't know if it's one of
Speaker 1: those situations where if he wins the Super Bowl, then
Speaker 1: you know, he'll definitely, you know, retire. You know, he
Speaker 1: did a wonderful thing. He donated five million dollars to
Speaker 1: the city of New Orleans, and I you know, helping
Speaker 1: with what's going on with the coronavirus. You know, him
Speaker 1: and his wife donating five five million dollars, which was
Speaker 1: what's pretty awesome there update the poll results if you can, McLevin.
Speaker 1: So I put up the question, if you could go
Speaker 1: back twenty years, would you draft Tom Brady or hire
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick? Seventy eight percent said hire Bill Belichi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that there is not that Brady is a
Speaker 1: sister quarterback, but I think there's a system that Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick creates, and then there's you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to take away from the greatness of Tom Brady, but
Speaker 1: I think Belichick has a way of coaching and what
Speaker 1: he wants and hav but you know, he's changed his philosophy,
Speaker 1: he's changed his rosters. That's the sign of a great coach.
Speaker 1: His ability to adapt is unprecedented in all the sports
Speaker 1: when it comes to coaching. Yes, McLevin, could you ask
Speaker 1: a similar question with Bill Walsh and Joe Montana kind
Speaker 1: of same dynamic. Yeah, I think that that's because then
Speaker 1: Steve Young stepped in and you know, they didn't miss
Speaker 1: a beat, and a lot of that's with the genius
Speaker 1: of Bill Walsh is Sabrina with us my Oregon duck guard. I. Uh, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: I ask you the John Wooden Award winner. I got
Speaker 1: a jersey sent to me, Sabrina. It's it's yours, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's actually yours. So I feel
Speaker 1: bad if somebody sent me the jersey had showed up
Speaker 1: in the mail. So do you know how I got this? How?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I'm asking you. Oh I
Speaker 1: thought even Oh, I mean, and I think it's mine.
Speaker 1: I yeah, just take credit for it. It It says extra large,
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing that that it's gonna fit me. That's
Speaker 1: the reason why I was sent to me. But uh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that Nike did this. Did you have
Speaker 1: to go to Nike and say, you know, why aren't
Speaker 1: we selling my jerseys? Um? I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was in the works or not. Um, but
Speaker 1: I was getting people asking me non stop about the jerseys,
Speaker 1: and so I had tweeted kind of just asking like, hey,
Speaker 1: are there going to be not even for me, but
Speaker 1: just for other people, just because I'm getting asked all
Speaker 1: the time. And then the jerseys are out and selling.
Speaker 1: So it is pretty cool. That's great. What's your trophy
Speaker 1: room look like. Um, I don't really have one, to
Speaker 1: be honest, I usually like give them away or keep
Speaker 1: them at school somewhere just because I don't have room
Speaker 1: for them. Um So they're kind of all over the place.
Speaker 1: I don't really hold on to them. What is the
Speaker 1: one piece of memorabilia that you have sports memorabilia that
Speaker 1: your treasure. Um? I have I like to keep to
Speaker 1: keep jerseys. So I have like a lot of jerseys
Speaker 1: from when I was playing, when I was younger. Um
Speaker 1: My USA basketball jerseys, um My high school jerseys, college jerseys.
Speaker 1: So I think jerseys are the ones that I'll hold onto.
Speaker 1: What about pro players? Did you collect jerseys from them? No,
Speaker 1: I didn't collect jerseys. I mean I have stuffs jerseys. Um,
Speaker 1: I have Clay Thompson's jersey. So I have some jerseys there.
Speaker 1: I mean a bunch of pictures, banners, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And how did you form the relationship with Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: We became friends a few years ago when he brought
Speaker 1: his daughter to um our game at USC and then
Speaker 1: but that's got to be pretty surreal. Where are you're going? Okay,
Speaker 1: there's Kobe? Okay, he's walking over here, you can't be
Speaker 1: cool under How did you react? Uh? It was really cool. UM.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's always um, it's always humbling and
Speaker 1: you I got goose bumps, and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, is that Kobe and our coaches knew, but
Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't tell us. UM. So it really
Speaker 1: was like a surprise to see him and to just
Speaker 1: like be able to see him in person was crazy.
Speaker 1: And look, I loved watching you play. Uh, certainly with
Speaker 1: your ability to be a you know, a triple double
Speaker 1: machine there, the poise you showed at Kobe's memorial far
Speaker 1: outweighed anything that you did on the basketball floor. You were.
Speaker 1: I don't know how nervous you were. You were unbelievable
Speaker 1: that day. UM, thank you. UM. I was very nervous,
Speaker 1: um before and after. UM. I think just seeing how
Speaker 1: many people were there and obviously all the emotions that
Speaker 1: were filled with being there was tough. But UM, I
Speaker 1: think once I started and finally got up there and
Speaker 1: started speaking, I didn't really think about it too much.
Speaker 1: But I definitely was very nervous. Sabrina I and Askue,
Speaker 1: the former Oregon Duck guard and best college basketball player
Speaker 1: in the country the last two years. What's it been
Speaker 1: like last month? You know this, since they decided they
Speaker 1: weren't going to play the tournament. What have you done? Yeah,
Speaker 1: m just working out and doing stuff at home. There's
Speaker 1: still a private gym that I can get into and
Speaker 1: go to that I worked out with before, and then
Speaker 1: just lifting and doing yoga, reading, still in school and
Speaker 1: so just trying to find things to stay busy and
Speaker 1: stay sharp. Liberty, the New York Liberty have the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick. Is that right? Yeah? Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1: Have you already started looking at what it costs to
Speaker 1: live in New York? I think they pay for housing,
Speaker 1: So I have not looked at the prices of favorite
Speaker 1: player growing up, Steph Curry? And now have you shot
Speaker 1: with him? Yeah? We worked out. We're actually really close
Speaker 1: friends now, so it's kind of a it's kind of
Speaker 1: cool to see the relationship grow. What do you do
Speaker 1: better than Steph Curry? Literally nothing, but you see that range, Sabrina, Like,
Speaker 1: you know we watch on TV, but that's I mean,
Speaker 1: he invented that. You can say that. I mean, Steph
Speaker 1: has had a bigger impact on the game than almost
Speaker 1: anyone in the history of the sport because he allowed
Speaker 1: everybody who is smaller to think that they can play.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be physical. I mean Steph Curry's
Speaker 1: impact on the game cannot be understated. No, it can't.
Speaker 1: And I think people that don't see that and don't
Speaker 1: value that don't really understand the impact that you've had
Speaker 1: on this born. I mean, do you walk into any
Speaker 1: gym and there's there's little kids shooting from half court?
Speaker 1: They're shooting you know, shots like step and it's evolved
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: the three point line gets moved back, you know, moving forward,
Speaker 1: and it's it's because of him and his ability. So
Speaker 1: it's been cool to see that. If you didn't play basketball,
Speaker 1: and what would you be doing? Probably going to work, Uh,
Speaker 1: going to going to college, Uh, living living a life.
Speaker 1: What's your major idea? If I wasn't playing basketball? What? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's your major? Um, it's crime lawn society? Wait what
Speaker 1: is that? Crime lawns? Just like law like crime lawn? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you want to be a police officer? CSI? No, No,
Speaker 1: I just wasn't good at maths. So, uh, it's great
Speaker 1: to have you on. You should be very proud of
Speaker 1: what you did. And I meant what I said about
Speaker 1: what you know to stand up there at Kobe's tribute,
Speaker 1: that that memorial, and I went, I couldn't have done it,
Speaker 1: and I do this for a living. Couldn't have done it.
Speaker 1: But you're a special player and certainly a special person.
Speaker 1: I wish you luck in the w NBA and with
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty. Thank you so much for having
Speaker 1: me and for the opportunity. I appreciate it. That's a Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I'd ask you. The Oregon two time wood An Award winner,
Speaker 1: she has the old time record in career triple doubles
Speaker 1: men or women with twenty six but first NCAA player
Speaker 1: two thousand career points, one thousand assists, one thousand rebounds. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like that. W NBA puts people up. No, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for an athlete. Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that they're gonna pay for your housing there.
Speaker 1: She's gonna need that. It's gonna be expensive. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I mentioned this to you, because you
Speaker 1: know how much I stink at basketball. I used to
Speaker 1: work at a health club that you've actually been in
Speaker 1: a New York city back in the late nineties, and
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty players in the offseason would come
Speaker 1: there and play pickup and they would take any live
Speaker 1: bodies they could just to play five on five. And
Speaker 1: I was one of those live bodies. Remember at Teresa Weatherspoon,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah Spoon, Kim Hampton who was a power for
Speaker 1: They used to kick our butts for two hours. And
Speaker 1: I mean I was there are better obviously better players
Speaker 1: than me, but it was a lot of fun. Well,
Speaker 1: you'll find a lot of the college teams, women's college
Speaker 1: teams will scrimmage against men. I had a nephew who
Speaker 1: scrimmaged against a women's college basketball team, and he was
Speaker 1: a good athlete, probably six five or so six six,
Speaker 1: And you know, they wanted that, they wanted that competition.
Speaker 1: And also I've been to a practice before where a
Speaker 1: women's college basketball team they had they scrimmage against six guys,
Speaker 1: not five, six, just and they were full court pressure,
Speaker 1: and they wanted to just give the feeling of you know,
Speaker 1: there's nowhere to go, like, how do we break the press?
Speaker 1: If we can break the press here with six eyes
Speaker 1: against us. We'll break the press against this team that
Speaker 1: they were going to face in the tournament. Yeah. Point,
Speaker 1: as we're playing pick up, the games would change, would
Speaker 1: switch team. So at one point I found myself on
Speaker 1: Teresa Weatherspoon's team, and she's like an All star for
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty. And you know, I can't shoot,
Speaker 1: and don't shoot when I play basketball, try not to
Speaker 1: because I can't. I just get the ball around and
Speaker 1: she goes shoot a little bit, make them so they
Speaker 1: don't back off you. And I took a shot with eight.
Speaker 1: I changed my mind. She saw me this one shot.
Speaker 1: If you get to see the women of Troy on
Speaker 1: USC basketball, it's you know, Cheryl, the McGee twins and
Speaker 1: uh and Teresa Witherspoon. Spoon is she's grew up in
Speaker 1: a tough, tough environment, but wonderful person. Really a great documentary.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break here. Oh I watched
Speaker 1: a documentary Sundlin Till I Die Soccer, Yes, a soccer documentary,
Speaker 1: and it's about this team that's been relegated. They used
Speaker 1: to be really good in the Premier League. I watched
Speaker 1: that last night. It was good. Yeah, but they talk
Speaker 1: about how you know, this is used to be the
Speaker 1: biggest shipping city in the world, and you know they've
Speaker 1: fallen on hard times, but they have this beautiful stadium
Speaker 1: there the soccer team, so I was watching that. It's
Speaker 1: about really the fan base, the players, management, the city itself.
Speaker 1: So there's probably I think six or eight episodes there.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break, last call for phone calls,
Speaker 1: what we learned, what's in store tomorrow, and we'll come
Speaker 1: back to you about all that right after this. Thanks

Speaker 1: slash The Dan Patrick Show. Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network analyst,
Speaker 1: he'll be work in the draft. He said, if Tom
Speaker 1: Brady had played for the Ravens and not the Patriots,
Speaker 1: the Ravens would have won ten Super Bowls in those
Speaker 1: twenty years. I wanted to have Stats Inc. Go back
Speaker 1: and tell me how many Pro Bowls selections the Ravens
Speaker 1: had over that same time period. With the Patriots, the
Speaker 1: Patriots from two thousand until last year had ninety four
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selections, fourteen of which were Tom Brady. So
Speaker 1: if I take Brady out of this, Patriots had eighty
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selections. The Ravens had one hundred and seven.
Speaker 1: And what Daniel Jeremiah was saying that the Ravens have
Speaker 1: had as much, if not more more talent than any
Speaker 1: team in the last twenty years. They got two Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: But he thinks if Brady would have been on that
Speaker 1: team where you got Ed Reid, you got Ray Lewis,
Speaker 1: you got Jonathan Ogden, I mean they had hello No,
Speaker 1: I mean they had great, great players on that team,
Speaker 1: whereas the Patriots didn't have those kind of Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame like players, but they had great teams. Final results
Speaker 1: of the poll question, McLevin, so, if you'd go back
Speaker 1: twenty years, would you hire Belichick or draft Brady? Seventy
Speaker 1: four percent say hire Belichick. Man, it's a little more
Speaker 1: overwhelming than I thought. But thanks for everybody who voted
Speaker 1: on that, also voting for the Meat Friday songs the
Speaker 1: mesquite sixteen. Let me see coming up tomorrow. Myron Roll

Speaker 1: Let me see this day in sports history. Paul by
Speaker 1: the way, this has been a great show. Cal Ripken
Speaker 1: always great to talk to. Rip Jeremiah gave us something
Speaker 1: going viral. Hank Aaron and Sabrina. I ask you that
Speaker 1: that was great, a lot of fun. It's it's great
Speaker 1: to come into work and get the opportunity to do this.
Speaker 1: What do you have sports history? By nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron hit a seven hundred fifteenth home runs. We
Speaker 1: should get him on today. We should get him perfect timing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy five, Frank Robinson to the Cleveland Indians, first
Speaker 1: African American major manager of a Major League Baseball team.
Speaker 1: Well was the Indians? Right? Yes? Okay, wow, that's a shot. Um.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety one, the Oakland A Stadium became the first
Speaker 1: outdoor arena to ban smoking. A random who was I'd
Speaker 1: like to know who was laughing? Like, you know what?
Speaker 1: We cannot give up the heaters all right? Uh? Let
Speaker 1: me see Mark in Florida. Hey, Mark DP, are you doing,
Speaker 1: Buddy good Sir? Uh? First time long time or long
Speaker 1: time first time? Six five two twenty Uh, Dayton Flyer
Speaker 1: ninety six alum nine. I heard you guys talking about
Speaker 1: scout team against the whim's teams. Uh, My buddy was
Speaker 1: a manager for the men's team. But UD when I
Speaker 1: was there, we used to play a scout team against
Speaker 1: the Whim's team there. One time was the day after
Speaker 1: Halloween where we were actually beating him pretty good. Coach
Speaker 1: Blew the whistle stopped practice and be rated a team
Speaker 1: because they were losing. To quote, five drugs from the ghetto,
Speaker 1: one of which had silver paint on his face. My
Speaker 1: buddy Ad dressed up as a tinman the night be
Speaker 1: four for Halloween and partied in the ghetto all night long.
Speaker 1: So that was just one of a great times of
Speaker 1: ute basketball history. All right, no, thank you, thanks for
Speaker 1: the phone call. Mark. Now they called it the ghetto.
Speaker 1: This was the the housing, the off campus housing at
Speaker 1: the University of Dayton, So not truly a ghetto, but
Speaker 1: that's the houses were in some in disrepair, disrepair because
Speaker 1: of you. No not, I mean I was there a specifically, No,
Speaker 1: well maybe, but I yeah, I could have. But my
Speaker 1: brothers went there too, so I'm going to put some
Speaker 1: blame on them. My three other brothers went there. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the room and find out what we learned
Speaker 1: on this program. Todd, what did you learn today? The
Speaker 1: iron Man cat ripton Junior did not have perfect attendance
Speaker 1: of school. I was surprised. He struck me as the
Speaker 1: guy who would be there every day, going to class,
Speaker 1: showing up teacher's pet, don't sitting in the front row,
Speaker 1: all of those things mclovin probably did. McLevin, what did
Speaker 1: you learn today? I learned that Tom Brady was basically
Speaker 1: Jeff s Piccolion. Yeah, I haven't heard. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: seen the headlines. The Mothership says Brady spills all. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think he was spilling a
Speaker 1: lot unless he spilled actually spilled something, But I don't
Speaker 1: think that he was spilling a lot. With Howard Stern
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, he said he smoked pot occasionally in
Speaker 1: high school and he knew that started last year that
Speaker 1: he wasn't going back to the Patriots. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's anything else that's juicy in there, any quotes
Speaker 1: about Gizelle, because I figured that's what Howard wanted to
Speaker 1: know about. Yeah, mcclub, Yeah, he actually did say some
Speaker 1: stuff that he had to stop going off season workouts
Speaker 1: to save his mayor and something like that. There's some
Speaker 1: there's some heavy stuff coming out of that. Actually, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, I think he Howard did a good
Speaker 1: job as what we're reading. Oh, I'm sure he did
Speaker 1: the best you can with Brady. But you know, I
Speaker 1: do think that Giselle wanted him to retire a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. I really do. Seaton, would you learn
Speaker 1: there's a slight chance that the Great Hank Aaron is
Speaker 1: a member of chat rowan you very slight, Paul Possible, Paully,
Speaker 1: what did you learn? This is easy living? Getting an
Speaker 1: interview Hank Aaron, that's cool what we learned. Brought to
