1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what with the Hall 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: of Famer Tim Kirkchen I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshin Dad, 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: we only have two weeks left of the regular season. 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: This is the most exciting time of the year. 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: In all of sports. But across Major League Baseball things 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: are tightening in these races and we're going to jump 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: into it. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: But there's one team that nobody is talking about, and 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: that is my daughter, McKinley Hope's T ball team. She 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: starts te ball at just over two years old. 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 2: Dad two nights, so when. 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: This episode drops, we will have already had our first 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: heavy air quotes here game. 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: But I'm so excited to be coach Dad out there. 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: Jeff, it's wonderful and proud of you for being the 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: coach of your daughter's team. The question is she taller 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: than the tea? Because I think there should be something 18 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: in place. If you're not taller than the tea, you 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: can't play t ball yet. Have you checked that out? 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 3: Because I know, I know this worked when you were 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: a kid. You couldn't play till you were eleven because 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: you were tall as the t. 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: Is she as tall as the t It's arguable you 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: know they build adjustable t's now that are a little 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: bit smaller for the little ones. So we've been practicing. Well, 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: we always swing a bat in the basement. You know, 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: we have a bat and tea and balls down here, 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: but I just brought them out to the backyard. We 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: were ground or we were taking grounders. But the hardest 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: thing for her to understand is, you know, we're trying 31 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: to teach her to run to first base, but she 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: would hit the ball and then she would try to 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: go get the ball. So she didn't realize the offense 34 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: defensive end of things. If you're hitting, you don't want 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: to get near the ball, right and if you're defending, 36 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: you want to get the ball. 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: So we're going to. 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Work through that tonight at our very first T ball 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: heavy quotes. 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: Again game, Well, I can't wait. What about my shirt, Jeff? 41 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: What do you think? 42 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Well? 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: I recognize that shirt because I very selfishly I'm going 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: to take credit here.

I again, Jeff, 58 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: I did not know this till about a week ago. 59 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: Why the Doobie Brothers are called Doobie brothers? Did you 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: know that that? 61 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: It never surprises me when you tell me something like 62 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: how you. 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: Adult w not know the answer to why they're called 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: the Doobie Brothers. 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, isn't it due to marijuana? 66 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: I would think, So that's what I was told, all right. 67 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: I did not know that, Jeff. 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: So all right, let's well, maybe you were just smoking 69 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: too much of the reefer when you were at University 70 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: of Maryland College parking in the seventies. 71 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: Simply no, simply not happening, Jeff, all right, Listen, I 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: every week I come up with a team Tim Jeff 73 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: and you know they're fun. I enjoyed doing them this week. 74 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: It garnered a lot of attention, and I'm really surprised. 75 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: We remember last week we had the all female baseball team. 76 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: You know, names that sound a little bit more female 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: than male. Okay, right, and we haven Moni Mack and 78 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: we have Carol Hardy Kim Battist. You you heard him. 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: So I got a bunch of suggestions from people. Did 80 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: you read some of these? Yeah? 81 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: I think I don't think this is bo Jackson level mistake, 82 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: but we did miss a very big one. 83 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: Well, we missed Christy Matthewson. Right, that's the biggest That's 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: the biggest one we missed. A pointed that out right. 85 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: The biggest one we missed I thought was Jackie Robinson. 86 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: Jackie, Yeah, that's that, that's true. We missed Jackie rob 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: of this is I come up with one of these 88 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: ridiculous lists, and everyone that said something in has something 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: that's better than what I put on the list. 90 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: I forgot. 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: And Nolan Ryan's real first name is Lynn Okay, l 92 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: Y and n Now he goes by Nolan, so we 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: can't call him Lynn Ryan. But the great don't you 94 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: find it odd that the greatest power pitcher of all 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: time his real first name is Lynn and he struck 96 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: out fifty seven hundred batters. 97 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and then when you think about Christy Matthewson, 98 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax, a lot of female names in those spincers. 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 3: That was terrible. Jeremy shapp our dear. 100 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 4: Friend who now apparently this podcast like he's got better 101 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: things to do with his life. 102 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: He mentioned Granny Hamner. Granny Hamner at shortstop, we could 103 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: have used him and Willie weinbab my dear friend from ESPN. 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: He said, well, the sports writer for the team has 105 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: to be Shirley Povich. So oh yeah, I left out 106 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: a lot of names, And thank you to everyone for 107 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: not necessarily correcting me, but adding important names that we 108 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: forgotten to that point, Jeff, somebody called in and said, 109 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 3: how could you leave Babe Ruth out and name? But 110 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: but Jeff, listen, I've given this a little bit of thought. 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: I want you to answer the question. Are more guys 112 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: named Babe who go by the name Babe than women? 113 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: I think more men go by babe. I know they 114 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: are baseball players. Babe Ruth, Babe Herman Babe Dolgren, Babe Adams, 115 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: and a bunch more going by Babe Okay football players, 116 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: Babe Laffenberg, Babe Parilli. I grew up watching him play 117 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: and with girls. I mean, we have Babe Didrison Zaharias, 118 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: who's the greatest probably female athlete of all time. But 119 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: I think there are more babes who are men than women. 120 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: Is that possible that we're right about that? 121 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: I think I don't know enough babes. You just listed 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: every babe and I didn't know most of them. I 123 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: know Babe Herman. I always thought that was a weird 124 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: name though, because Babe Ruth, he's George Herman Ruth. And 125 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: then there's a babe I'm eighteen ninety five, and then 126 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: born in nineteen oh three is Babe Herman. So there's 127 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: no like one would think, oh, what a cool thing, 128 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: we'll call him babe. No, they're unrelated because Babe Ruth 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: was eight years old when Babe Herman was born, So 130 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: there's no way. I mean, he hit a lot of 131 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: home runs, but he didn't start at eight years old, 132 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: that's for sure, right, all right. 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: The other thing that from last week, Jeff, is that 134 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: I said again that Get Smart is my favorite sitcom 135 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: of all time and that will never change. And I 136 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: actually showed my Get Smart lunch box, which I received 137 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: as an adult. 138 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a little bit of a show and 139 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: tell session, and you were such a little proud little 140 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: sports writer walking up there. Hey, guys, today I brought 141 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: in my Get Smart lunchbox. 142 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: I got five emails from friends saying they heard about 143 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: my Get Smart lunchbox. Three of them are wondering where 144 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: can they get one. This is what we've done. And 145 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: Jeff I mentioned Bill Chuck on the air. He's a 146 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: baseball guru. He's a lunatic in the best possible way. 147 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: As a thing called billy Ball. You need to subscribe. 148 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: He's got some good stuff on there. So he texted 149 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: me about the time. He said, do you remember when 150 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: Maury Wills, who was the MVP of the National League 151 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty two, appeared on Get Smart? He said, 152 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: do you remember the episode? And I said, well, of 153 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: course I do. He got killed in the episode. He 154 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: got a banana in the mail. This is how this 155 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: is how all the chaos killed all the control agents. 156 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: If you received a banana in the mail, you were 157 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: the next to be killed by a killer gorilla. So yes, 158 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: And what I didn't know a Bill Chuck reminded me 159 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: is that the Maury Wills's name in Get Smart in 160 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 3: the one episode is Roberts, and the manager of the 161 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: Dodgers is Dave Roberts, who was also a base steeler. 162 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: So we had a lot of we had a lot 163 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 3: of reaction to last year last week's podcast, and it 164 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: was all stupid, but it was all really fun. 165 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: And I mean rumor is that Dave Roberts has received 166 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: a couple of packages with bananas in the mail to 167 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. 168 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: We're not sure what that means.

That's where Dad is able to access those emails. 177 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: So if you ever have a. 178 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Question, Dad, I just I've said it before, I said. 179 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: It multiple times. 180 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I love that you're able to now have this direct 181 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: line with members of our family that want to listen 182 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: and want to chat with you. 183 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: So, great game or what dot com? 184 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: Scroll down and I'll say, you know, reach out to 185 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: us or whatever it's there, you can find it and 186 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: message us there. 187 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: All right, takeaway, stab, what do you have? All right? 188 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: Well? Cal Rowley leads to takeaways again. How many times 189 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: do you think he has led the take this year? 190 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: Five more? What do you think? 191 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: I think there's at least two titles of episodes that 192 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: involve him, right, he has been huge this season. 193 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 3: Well, this time he tied through Sunday Mickey Mantle with 194 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: the most homers in a season, fifty four by a 195 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: switch hitter, Mickey Mantle, Jeff, He's the greatest switch hitter 196 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: of all time. So it got me to thinking, I 197 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: did this pretty much off the top of my head. 198 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: So I don't want anyone screaming at me, even though 199 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: you're allowed to. There's a Hall of Famer at every 200 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: switch hitting Hall of Famer at every position from what 201 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: I can tell, Catcher, So this is a team tim 202 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: top of my head, Ted Simmons, Eddie Murray at first base, 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: Frankie Frish or Roberto Alomar at second base. Ozzie Smith 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 3: is my shortstop. I'm going to pick one at each position. 205 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: There are multiple guys. Alfield, a third base, of course, 206 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 3: is Chipper Jones. Altfield is Pete Rowe, Mickey Mantle to repeat, 207 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: the greatest switch hitter of all time, and Tim Raids, 208 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: who was a great, great, great player. And that doesn't include, 209 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: of course, Carlos Beltron and Lance Berkman, who I think 210 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: both someday will be in the Hall of Fame. I 211 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: think they both belong. And I did not think of 212 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 3: a pitcher. I figured it out. I was very proud 213 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: of myself. Mordecai three Finger Brown was a switch hitter, 214 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: and I'm sure there are others switch hitting Hall of 215 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: Fame pitchers, but he's the first one I could think of, 216 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 3: and I stopped right there. And also Jeff Vita Blue, 217 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: a non Hall of Famer but a great pitcher in 218 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: his day, is still the answer to a very fun question, 219 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: who is the last American League switch hitter to win 220 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: the MVP? The answer Vita Blue in nineteen seventy one, 221 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: but no one really knew because he is the pitcher. 222 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: But that was pre designated hitter, so he had to bat. 223 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: Dad. 224 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a great team, Tam, And I know 225 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: you kind of did it on a whim there, but 226 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. 227 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: Well, it's important and it's relevant because people ask me today, 228 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: is Cal Rawley the greatest switch hitting catcher of all time? 229 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: Well he might be someday, but we have a switch 230 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: hitting catcher at least one Ted Simmons in the Hall 231 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: of Fame. So yeah, I enjoyed putting that together at 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: the last minute. Jeff. The A's can really really hit. 233 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: They don't pitch very well, and obviously they're not going 234 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 3: to the playoffs, but I saw this. I got a 235 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: kick out of this. So Sunday Jacob Wilson, Nick Kurtz, 236 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: who is an amazing player. He's got over thirty homers 237 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: and eighty RBIs. Only two other A's rookies have ever 238 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: done that, hose Can Seko and Mark maguire, and they 239 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: both won the Rookies of the Year that year. Brent 240 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: Rooker and Colby Thomas, the two through five guys in 241 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: the order on Sunday for the A's all hit home 242 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: runs and that's the I'm shocked to hear this. It's 243 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: the first time that the A's can say that since 244 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: nineteen thirty when Mulebaas, Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons and Jimmy 245 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: Fox all did it from the two through five spots 246 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: in the orders. That's a long time. Given how good 247 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: the A's were Carne Lanford, you know, Conseko Maguire, David Henderson, 248 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: they never did that. I was really surprised to hear that. Also, 249 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: speaking of really good catchers, Sal Perez of the Royals 250 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: hit home run number three hundred and drove in his 251 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: one run number one thousand. Remember we went over this, Jeff, 252 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 3: how one thousandth I have a lot of trouble saying. 253 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: That one thousand. It's not easy. 254 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: Not easy. Yeah. So George Bratt is the only other 255 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: Royal with three hundred homers and one thousand RBIs and 256 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: the only catchers to get there in their first fourteen years, 257 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: like Sal Perez, are Mike Piazza for me, the greatest 258 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: hitting catcher ever to play in the Major leagues, Johnny Bench, 259 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: greatest catcher ever and in the Major leagues, and Yogi 260 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 3: Berra's second greatest catcher in Major League history, according to me, 261 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: not to anybody else. Josh Gibson. It might be the 262 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: greatest catcher of all time now that we've taken the 263 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: Negro league stats and brought them in. Those numbers are 264 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: just ridiculous. But sal Perez just another step towards making 265 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: it to the Hall of Fame. So, Jeff, on Sunday, 266 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: the Mets won a game they had lost eight in 267 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: a row, and Pete Alonso hit a three run walk 268 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: off homer. He's got five walk off homers now, most 269 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: by any Met ever, and I think it was very 270 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: fitting that he hit the three run homer because he's done. 271 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 3: He's in a lot of home runs, especially in the 272 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: right center field like Sunday to break things open. And again, 273 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 3: I'm a big believer, Jeff. One swing, one event can 274 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: turn the fortunes of a team. So let's just see 275 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: if the big hit by Pete Alonso turns the tide 276 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: for the New York Mets. It might who knows. 277 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: I know, Mets fans are completely tortured, and they do 278 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: have a day off on Monday night, so obviously this 279 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: is released on Tuesday. So they'll play tonight at home 280 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: against the Padres, who you know, another playoff team right there, 281 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: and a potential matchup. You never know how things are 282 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: gonna fall when it comes to the playoffs. The NL 283 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: wild card is just nuts right now. So is the 284 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: AL wild card for that matter. 285 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a great final. Two weeks Anthony Rizzo 286 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: last one announced his retirement. So Anthony Rizzo is one 287 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: of my favorite players, really good guy. And Jeff, remember 288 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: he caught the final out on a ground ball to 289 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: that Chris Bryant to third for the final out of 290 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen World Series. Cubs win for the first 291 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: time in a million years. And you remember what he did, Jeff, 292 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: after he caught the out, caught the ball at first. 293 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, this showed incredible court awareness. He put the 294 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: ball in his back pocket. 295 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: That's right. And I remember I was at that game, 296 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: I remember, right. 297 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: And I thought that was amazing self awareness to understand 298 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: that this is a historic ball and it's staying with me. 299 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 3: So he put it in his back pocket. He ran 300 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: in and jumped on the dogpile. It was pretty cool. 301 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: So Anthony Rizzold not a Hall of Famer, but he 302 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: had a really really good career and among the odd 303 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: things that he did, so he hit over three hundred 304 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 3: homers and got hit by a pitch over two hundred times. 305 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: So he and Don Baylor are the only players ever 306 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: to have three hundred homers and two hundred hit batters 307 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: in their careers. And you know, let's keep in mind, 308 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: you know, Mickey Mantalou we mentioned earlier, got hit by 309 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: a pitch thirteen times in his entire career, and it's 310 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: just this guy got hit all the time and it 311 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: didn't seem to bother him, just like he didn't bother 312 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: Don Baylor. I'll never forget seeing Anthony Rizzo in spring 313 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: training maybe five years ago, still with the Cubs, and 314 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: he interviewed him and I said, so what now, and 315 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: he looked, this is spring training. He looks, and he 316 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: looks at me, and he goes, all right, I'm gonna 317 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 3: go see if I can still hit this spring, because 318 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: this is how hard the skill of hitting is. Jeff. 319 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: Every spring he went to spring training, much like Aaron 320 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: Boone did, wondering am I still going to be able 321 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 3: to do this even in the prime of his career. 322 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: That's how hard hitting a baseball is. 323 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: Dad, did you see the note from a member of 324 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: our family, Eric Hibbler? 325 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: Yes, I did, and I it said, tell everyone what 326 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 3: it said, Jeff. 327 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: So, he's a music teacher and a massive Chicago Cubs fan. 328 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: And well, Anthony Rizzou was in the stands. This is 329 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: so neat at Wrigleyfield on Saturday, just hanging out with fans. 330 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: He had a jersey with all these signatures in the 331 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: back of it. I assume we're fans signing his jersey 332 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: because he loves he the Cubby fans. I mean, it's 333 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: massive and they Eric sent us a kind of a 334 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: cork gin here, which is really neat. He said, only 335 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: two players have three hundred home runs and have struck 336 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: out a former MVP while on the mound. 337 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: Those two day Ruth and Anthony Rizzo. 338 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 3: Right, and that was cool. That was absolutely priceless when 339 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: he struck out Freddy Freeman, who laughed out loud because 340 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 3: it's a blowout game and everything else said it was 341 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 3: a good curveball that Anthony Rizzo threw. So Eric, thank 342 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 3: you so much for that. And look, I'm not disputing, 343 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 3: but I didn't check with Frank from the Elias on this, 344 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: and we have to be accurate on things like this. 345 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: But I did go back through Jimmy Fox's career. Jimmy Fox, 346 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 3: of course, hit five hundred homers and then pitched for 347 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 3: the Phillies at the end of his career in nineteen 348 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: forty five. And I went back through this morning, through 349 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: every pitching appearance by Jimmy Fox, just to make sure 350 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: that Eric was right, wasn't. I wasn't questioning you. 351 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 4: Eric. 352 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 3: I'm sure your son is exactly right, but I have 353 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: to be sure, so I hope this is true. But 354 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: if it is, what a cool dough and it is. 355 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Shout out to his son Grant, and thank you Eric 356 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: for listening and for sending us stuff in. 357 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 2: We love it. Next on is this a great game 358 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: or what? 359 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: Dad? 360 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: We'll get into more quark gins. 361 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: We have another team, tim, because this seems to be 362 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: the popular thing that everybody wants, including. 363 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: On this state baseball history. It's all coming up next. 364 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: All right, Dad, what are your quark chins going into 365 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: this week? 366 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 3: Okay? Well, you know how much I love James Wood 367 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: and his dad, Kenny Wood, so this pains me to 368 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 3: bring this up, but you know, stats are stats, History's history. 369 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: James Wood became the first player two hundred strikeouts this year. 370 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 3: He did it in one hundred and forty four games. 371 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 3: That's not the major league record for fewest games to 372 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: two hundred strikeouts. Chris Carter one hundred and thirty seven 373 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 3: games as the record holder. But James Wood recorded his 374 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: twenty sixth hat trick, so twenty six times this year 375 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: three or more strikeouts in the game. That ties the 376 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: major league record held by Joey Gallo and Mark Reynolds. 377 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: We mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. We have 378 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: to update it because that's our kind of our responsibility, 379 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: at least with the quirt Chins. And speaking of strikeouts, Jeff, 380 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: this is so amazing. But Aaron Judge of course passed, 381 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 3: just passed Yogi Berra on the all time list, and 382 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 3: then he passed Joe DiMaggio on the all time list 383 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: for the Yankees, so he's got the fourth most home 384 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: runs in the history of the New York Yankees. Now, look, Jeff, 385 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 3: you know when I make these apples and oranges comparisons, 386 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 3: that's exactly what they are. It doesn't matter. But it's 387 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: still amazing to me that Aaron Judge hit more home run, 388 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 3: has hit more homers than Joe Demagio, but he has 389 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 3: almost one thousand more strikeouts. Than Joe Demaggio had in 390 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: his career, and Judge has maybe ten years left. I mean, 391 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: that's how good he is. There's no telling how many 392 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: home runs he's going to hit. And I'm still amazed 393 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: by this after all these years. Joe DiMaggio never his 394 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 3: strikeout high in a season is thirty nine. That's the 395 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: most he ever And by the way, in nineteen forty one, 396 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: the year year he hit in fifty six straight games, 397 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 3: he struck out thirteen times. So I used that in 398 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: a notes column in the eighties. In the eighties Jeff 399 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 3: at the Dallas Morning News, and I'm not going to 400 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: say who it was, but one of my broadcast friends 401 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 3: got a little bit confused and he saw what I wrote, 402 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: and he said on the air, this is hard to believe. 403 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: But the year that Babe Ruth hit sixty homers nineteen 404 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: twenty seven, the only struck out thirty times. 405 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 5: So he got the sixty homer mixed up with the 406 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 5: fifty six game hitting street. 407 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean it's a natural mistake. But Joe 408 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 3: Demaggio never struck out more than thirty nine times in 409 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: a season. And Aaron Judge, and I'm only pointing this 410 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: out Jeff to show the difference in the pitching that 411 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 3: we see today. Twenty seventeen, Aaron Judge set the major 412 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: League record, which still stands, of course, for most consecutive 413 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: games with at least one strikeout at thirty seven. So 414 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: DiMaggio's strikeout high was thirty nine, and Aaron Judge struck 415 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: out in thirty seven consecutive games. Pretty incredible. 416 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 2: That is pretty incredible, all right. 417 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 3: Speaking to the Yankees, Luis Heal had an interesting line 418 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: the other day, six innings, pitched no hits, and they 419 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 3: took him out after six innings, which is not a 420 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 3: surprise anymore that a guy has taken out with a 421 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: no hitter going. But he also had four walks in 422 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: that game. He had two while pitches at a bock, 423 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: which I thought was kind of odd. A guy pitches 424 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 3: six no hit innings, but he walks for guys, shows 425 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: two wild pitches, and has a box. So I checked 426 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: with Frank from the Elias and I said, Frank, tell me, 427 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: has anyone ever had a line quite like this? And 428 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: Frank rode back, No, not since the mound was moved 429 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: to its place in ninety three, of course, Jef, that's 430 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: eighteen ninety three where they moved the mound to sixty 431 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: feet six inches and so no one has other than 432 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 3: Louise Heel has ever done that. And you don't even 433 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: need two wild pitches, you only need one in that 434 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: and he got two. So that just shows you how 435 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: odd that was. And speaking about odd, jeff Yvonne Herrera, 436 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: catcher for the Cardinals, got hit by a pitch twice 437 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 3: in consecutive games. Two hit by pitches. Then the next 438 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: game he got hit twice. Again. That sounds like a lot. 439 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: Right, it does. Sounds painful, r all right. 440 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 3: So Willie Castro did that last year. I was surprised. 441 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 3: And the last guy to do that before that was 442 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: Derek Dietrich in twenty nineteen. So it's a bit odd, 443 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: but I you know, we we had a lot of 444 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: hit by pitches in this season and a lot of 445 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 3: hit by pitches of the show, so we thought we'd 446 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: bring it up. And the last one, Jeff Cody Clemens 447 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 3: hit three home runs in a game. That is Roger 448 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: Clemens's son, So I checked. Roger Clemens gave up three 449 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: homers in a game seventeen times and four or more twice, 450 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: so Cody Clement. I was just wondering how it compared 451 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 3: to his famous father's home runs. You know, Clemens for 452 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 3: is one of the great pitchers of all time. 453 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny. 454 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: I actually interviewed Cody Clemens at spring training when he 455 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: was with the Phillies, and I thought it was so funny. 456 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: And the first thing we remarked about was the fact 457 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: that how many times is my dad. 458 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: Talk to your dad? We thought that was really really 459 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: great and both in the same position. And also, Dad, 460 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: if you were calling. 461 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: I know I've told this on the podcast before, but 462 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: when I talked to Dicky Knowles, I said, how many 463 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: times have. 464 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 2: You chatted with my dad? And you guys go way back? 465 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: So here I am interviewing him and you interviewed him 466 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: a million times. 467 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: Yes, the early eighties Dicky Knowles, Yeah, really really enjoyed him. 468 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: He's a funny dude and he does some really good 469 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 3: things to help people who need help. Good for Dickie, even. 470 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: Even he joked about it. 471 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: Early eighties Dicky Noles to today Dicky Knowles are two 472 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: very different interviews, and I definitely got the easier one 473 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: of the two. 474 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was afraid of Dickey knowles in the mid eighties, 475 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: believe me. 476 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 4: But that's another story for another day. 477 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: What did you just get up to get d Did 478 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: you go get baseball cards or something? 479 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 3: What is Jeff? I'm we're gonna do this very organically, 480 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: and you didn't even know this is coming, as you know, Jeff, 481 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: down in the downstairs basement. In the basement there's a 482 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: bathroom and I went in there and I just said, 483 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 3: all right, I'm going to pick out three cards and 484 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 3: we're going to use him on the air this week. 485 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 3: I don't care what three they are. If I don't 486 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 3: have a story, we're not using it. Boy, did I 487 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 3: ever get lucky? So the first one is Jim Dwyer. 488 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: So I covered Jim Dwyer when he played for the Orioles. 489 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 3: He was a really good pinch hitter. He was a 490 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 3: he could really hit, but he didn't play every day 491 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 3: because he hit left hand and he didn't play much 492 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 3: against left handers. But the note on him is he 493 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 3: told me once when he plays golf, he carries certain 494 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 3: clubs that are left handed and others that are right handed, 495 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 3: and he hit some shots right handed and some shots 496 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: left handed. That's pretty weird, don't you think, But. 497 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 2: I mean, does he do it in the sense of convenience? 498 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: Like there are times when I'm playing golf and I 499 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: get myself in a situation where I wish I was 500 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: left handed because I'm I'm gonna hit a tree or 501 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit what or is it really like one 502 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: hundred yards out? 503 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: I like hitting my fifty. 504 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: Six here, just more comfortable hitting some shots left handed 505 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 3: and other shots right handed. 506 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: So maybe I should try that, yeah, Because I mean, 507 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: have you ever thought about. 508 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 3: Adam done? Adam Dunn's wife asked after his terrible, terrible, 509 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: terrible season, have. 510 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 4: You ever considered batting left handed? And he said, no, 511 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 4: that's not how it works, all right. 512 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 3: The second one, this is incredible. This is R. J. 513 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: Reynolds who played for the Pirates million years ago, and 514 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: when I was so I got to know the Pirates 515 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: really well nineties because they were always in the playoffs. 516 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: But R. J. Reynolds went to R. J. Reynolds High School, 517 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 3: I believe in North Carolina. So what are the chances 518 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 3: of a guy who goes by his initials. R. J. 519 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: Reynolds went to R. J. Reynolds High School. I mean, 520 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 3: that would be like my name being Walter Johnson. And 521 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: I went to Walter Johnson High School. Speaking of which, what. 522 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 2: Jeff, That just like blows my mind. 523 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: And there was a guy when you were wearing a 524 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: Walter Johnson sweatshirt who thought your name. 525 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: Was Walter Jratz Jef. 526 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 3: I went to miss Sandwich shop wearing my fleece pull 527 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 3: over with Walter Johnson on it, and he said to 528 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 3: me name and then he looks at my shirt and 529 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 3: he goes, so you are Walter, And. 530 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 4: I said, know that that's the school I went to. 531 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 4: I don't walk around with with sweaters with my name 532 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: on them. 533 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: Well, one of my favorite like connections between school and 534 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: kid is my cousin Lane Kirkchen, your niece. 535 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: She went to Jones Lane. 536 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: And her second grade teacher was Missus Jones, right, so 537 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: she had Lane had Missus Jones at Jones Lane, right. 538 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just like Kelly Kirkchen had miss Kelly in 539 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: the fourth grade. So what you were supposed to do 540 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: was give your teacher's name and then your last name. 541 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 3: So so Kelly says Kelly because it's the teacher Kirkchin. 542 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: And three times she got corrected by the person saying no, no. 543 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: No, I don't want your name. 544 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want your name. So Kelly Finance. My 545 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 3: teacher's name is miss Kelly, and my last name is Kirkchin. 546 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: Kelly Kirchin. All right, last one. Jeff is one of 547 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 3: my favorite players I ever covered. Mitch Williams. I picked 548 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 3: out three names. I got Jim Dwyer, RJ. Reynolds, and 549 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: Mitch Williams. So Mitch Williams is, you know, one of 550 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: the hardest throwing closers ever. He was a very successful closer, 551 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 3: but he was also one of the wildest pictures of 552 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: all time. Jeff, go back and look. He gave up 553 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: more walks than hits aloud in his career. I mean, 554 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 3: he was so hard to hit because he had great stuff. 555 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: He threw hard, and he was the wildest man in 556 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: the world. Although he told me once that his brother Bruce, 557 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 3: his older brother Bruce, was a pitcher also and he 558 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 3: was wilder than Mitch was. 559 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: Wow. So Mitch saying something, Miss Mitch Williams nickname was wild. 560 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 3: Wild saying right, he said. He famously said he said, 561 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 3: I pitched like my hair is on fire, and that 562 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 3: was almost a literal distinction. So Mitch Williams told me once. 563 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 3: He said, I said, your brother Bruce was wilder than you. 564 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, well, we would play catch in the 565 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 3: front yard in the high school. In high school, he said. 566 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 5: Like parents would come running out of their house and 567 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 5: scream to the kids get off the street. The Williams 568 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 5: boys are playing. 569 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 570 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: Only Mitch Williams would share a story like that. 571 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: I love it. Okay, So those are my baseball cards 572 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: from nowhere, Jeff. I just picked it. I just picked 573 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: them up this morning. I'm just wid in there and 574 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: went to the bathroom, said I'm picking three hour. We're 575 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: going to use it on the podcast. And those were 576 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: the three Jim D RJ. Reynolds and Mitch Williams. How 577 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: great is that? 578 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: I love that, Dad, and I love that. You kind 579 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: of surprised us with that. 580 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: We haven't done it. It's in the cards in a while, 581 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: and that was a little bit of a take on it. 582 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: I start doing this every week now, Jeff. Three cards 583 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 3: from the bathroom. How about that? 584 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 2: It has. 585 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: That's a great ring to it for a segment. Dad, 586 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: three cards from the bathroom. 587 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 3: All right, I got it. 588 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: As long as you don't do the show from the bathroom. 589 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a successful segment, right, right. 590 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: Okay, Jeff, this date in baseball history is that? Right? 591 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 3: Is that? Where we are? 592 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: What do you have on today? September the sixteenth? 593 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 3: Okay, On this date in nineteen eighty eight, Tom Browning 594 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 3: pitched a perfect game for the Cincinnati Reds. Tom Browning 595 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 3: was a really good the late Tom Browning was a 596 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 3: really good pitcher, had a great change up and through 597 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 3: a perfect game in the major leagues. And I'm going 598 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 3: to tell you the story again though, Jeff. In nineteen 599 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: ninety two years later, he is pitching for the Reds 600 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 3: and they are in the World Series and they are 601 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: playing in Oakland, and his wife is pregnant and she's 602 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 3: ready to give birth any second. But he's at the game. 603 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: He's in full uniform and then he and he's a 604 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: starting pitchers, so chances are they won't need him. But 605 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 3: the game goes late, it's going to extra innings, and 606 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: Louke Penela calls down looking for Tom Browning and he's 607 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 3: not in the bullpen because he has left as he 608 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 3: should have to go be with his wife who was 609 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: giving birth to their first child. And he went and 610 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 3: he went to the hospital in full uniform. So the 611 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 3: next day I asked him, I said, Tom, did anybody 612 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 3: ask you, like, what are you doing in the hospital 613 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 3: in a full uniform? And he said, I think they. 614 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 5: I guess they think thought I was just like a 615 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 5: really big fan of the Reds. He came straight from 616 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 5: the bullpen to the hospital and everything turned out well 617 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 5: with his wife. 618 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 3: We love that. 619 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: A dear friend of mine, Donnie, he says that he 620 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: has his own problems with grown men wearing jerseys. 621 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 2: It's kind of a hymn thing. 622 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it, but I would 623 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: have a problem with a grown man wearing a full 624 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: baseball uniform doesn't play for the team right to a game. 625 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that's for fans. Let's keep the pants 626 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: on the players. 627 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: You can wear the jersey though. 628 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 3: I'm good with that, all right on this dage. In 629 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, Jim Tomy, one of my favorites, 630 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 3: hit home run number five hundred of his career. Of course, 631 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 3: he hit over six hundred home runs before he was done, 632 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 3: and he was a big Cubs fan. He grew up 633 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 3: in Illinois and he loved, loved Dave Kingman. So when 634 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: he was like, I don't know, eight, nine, ten years old, 635 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 3: somehow right before the game, Jim Tomy somehow got over 636 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 3: the rail and went into the dugout, like five minutes 637 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: before a major league game, to go up and say 638 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 3: hello to Dave, and Dave give. 639 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 4: Me it had to say, look, kid, you got to 640 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 4: get out of here. 641 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 3: The game's going to. 642 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 4: Start in five minutes. But I just love how resourceful. 643 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 3: Jim Toby was that he could get down into the 644 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 3: Cubs dugout at say hello to Dave Kingman, his baseball hero. 645 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 3: And now, all these years later, over six hundred homers. 646 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it is impressive too, because even Jim Tony 647 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: as a kid was probably very big something. He's not 648 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: like this, probably a big, little dodgy kid who's sneaking through. 649 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's probably seven years old, five to six. 650 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 4: Right, it's a big kid, yes, all right. 651 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 3: On this date in nineteen twenty four, Hank Peters was 652 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 3: was born Jeff Hank Peters was the general manager of 653 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 3: the Orioles during the time that I covered them late seventies, 654 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 3: early eighties, but mostly eighty six through eighty nine.
