And I looked at you 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.200 and I said, how about a shot? Well at that 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.200 point I realized he's had a beer before. Right now, 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.360 I was at a shot before. Now I found out 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.160 he's had more shots in Steph Curry. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.959 But I didn't know that. But Jeff, yeah, that was 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.160 a great night and your birthday. We had your big 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.920 celebration on Friday night, which was great, even though they 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.840 closed down your favorite Mexican restaur Listen. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.920 So there's this great Mexican restaurant in one town over 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.080 from me that listen. It's just great food, great. It's 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.440 not the most romantic place, it's not the most fancy place, but. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:47.440 You picked it. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.040 I love this place. And we did my birthday there 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.520 two years ago. So here we are. We put my 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.800 in laws, my parents, my two kids, and my wife 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.840 and two different cars were driving down and we pull 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.160 up and says its opening soon this other rest. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:02.360 Borge. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.280 But we did eat at a cool spot in skip Back, Pennsylvania, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.640 Basta Pasta. I've eaten there one hundred times and it 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.840 is it was so delicious, so great. He had two 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.359 bottles of wine like it was a very special evening 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.839 to reminisce.

And so and I'm not trying 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.359 to be funny and I'm not trying to play victim, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.760 but now because my daughter, you guys are gonna be 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.880 in town for like every one of my birthdays, which 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.000 as an adult, most adults can't say that their parents 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.200 come into town when they're in their thirties or forties, right, right. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.240 And Jeff, yesterday, of course Saturday, we're taping here on 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.440 Sunday for today's team. Tim has something to do with 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.880 your birthday August the ninth, right, special little occasion there. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.960 But yesterday, August the eighth, we celebrated McKinley Hope's birthday here. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:56.320 That's right. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.880 How many people were here for her birthday? She's three? 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:00.800 She's three. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:01.200 Yeah. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.160 Well, we just moved into a neighborhood with like one 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.760 hundred families. I mean, it's like the greatest thing ever. So, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.640 I mean we had I think our number was like 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.239 thirty adults and fifteen kids. There were like fifty people. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.160 He's like the size of some people's weddings. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.440 I think, yes, I think. I asked the question, is 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.239 this their third birth? There is this a wedding. That's 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.280 how much food we had and cakes and everything else. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.320 Well, just like every other wedding, we had Costco pizza 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.680 and a blow up bouncy house. Every wedding has it. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.040 Giant castle of the backyard. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:30.840 It was cool. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.040 And Jeff built the whole swing set by himself, twenty 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:34.480 man houts. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.320 You see how many kids were on that swing set. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:37.760 Jeff, was that not? 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.880 I mean, I've never related to dad's more than when 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.720 you have that moment when your hard work pays off, right. 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.600 And I looked at kids climbing, jumping up and down, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.440 all of her friends on her playground, and I said, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.360 my wife was right. I didn't want a playground. We 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.200 have a playground across the street in the neighborhood. So 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.400 it's by across the street. I mean, it's one hundred 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.600 yards away. And I said, why do we another one? 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.640 And I found out yesterday why right? 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.960 And then we set up a tent that took four 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.720 adult males and set up a tent in the backyard. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.000 But it was great. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.040 We figured it out. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.680 And then when we closed up the tent and put 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.000 it back and it's holder Chris from next door. We 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.040 had a high five because we got it back. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.919 Into the It was a miracle, right, And then we 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.600 played maybe the most intense game of cornhull Logged did 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.240 the cornhole game last? I mean, I couldn't see. We 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.279 had to turn our and I respectfully, Dad, listen, my 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.680 eyes are not the same as they were ten years ago. 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.520 You're going to be seventy this year. I had trouble 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.680 seeing the board, so I recommended let's put in. You're 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.279 my partner, so I said, I don't know how he's seeing, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.200 and he doesn't want to admit it, but I put 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.880 the light, my phone light hovering over the board so 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.000 we could at least see where the bag is going. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.919 Loggedd one game to twenty one teen. Keep in mind 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.600 we went over twenty one. I didn't even know this 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.480 was a rule yet in twenty one exactly. So we 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.400 went back to thirteen. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.440 But that game to at least an hour, right, Oh, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.520 I mean it felt like it, that's for sure. And 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.360 two resets back to thirteen, and then the most unceremonious 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.119 win in the history of cornhole. We did the math 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.719 incorrectly briefly, and we go, oh wait, we won after 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:16.120 all that. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:16.840 We didn't even know. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.040 We didn't even know we won. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.040 Right, So then this morning, so again we're taping on 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.400 August the ninth, your birthday. We opened up McKinley's presence, 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.000 right and the president that well, Mom and I got 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.560 her at several presents, but the one that came specifically 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.360 for me was one of these little cameras that you 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.440 could take a picture and then the print out comes 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.679 out and all that. So that was the first present 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.520 she opened up was a pink camera from pop Up. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.400 The second present she opened up was a pink camera 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.640 for somebody else, one of the chances. There were twenty 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.599 presents for her, the first two the same thing. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.000 It's so funny. I mean, great minds think alike. So 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.080 that gift was great, Dad, and she's taken picture and 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.560 it's one it's like what's old is new? It like 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.040 prints out the photo for you, just like the old Polaroid. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.960 But then when you realize you can put an SD 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.919 card in there and you got to charge it with 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.279 a USB C charger, then the technology takes over. It 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.160 was great and for my birthday today, what I'm planning 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:22.360 on doing is adding garage storage to my walls, because 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.080 that was a You're. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.400 Going to do that on your birthday. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.080 That's all I want, really, and that's what I got 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.680 you music in my garage whilst hanging things, while keeping 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.960 my garage more and more organized. That's what I want 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:40.280 to do for my birthday. And then Phillies baseball Sunday afternoon. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.000 I said, I don't need the kids to be out 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:43.560 of the house. I don't even need the kids to 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.560 be off the couch. I just I just I want 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.520 to be not taken away from the room that the 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.520 Phillies are on.

I'm now thirty three years old. My 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.080 daughter turned three. Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.160 of all time. He wore number three, and. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.440 Who's the greatest number thirty three of all time baseball? 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:41.480 We went over this. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.200 Last we went over this, but I still have to. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.800 I meant to tell you a lot of people are 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.200 still I put the social media clip up of Warren 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.560 Spawn versus Vertical Mene and they're still angry, the people, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.240 but they're angry for other reasons. They said, how could 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.440 you ever consider anybody but Warren Spawn? And then some 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.280 people were saying it's vertical mane you moron right. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.040 I told you it is a great question that all 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.520 it does is anger people, and that's. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.880 What our show is all about. Oh no, it's not 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.040 what our shows. What we're here, That's what I have 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:12.360 to say. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:12.640 Dad. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.120 You know, we had a bunch of neighbors and we're 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.440 gonna we're gonna end. We're gonna go into baseball. I promise, 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.360 I promise, I promise, our promise. But we had a 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.960 bunch of neighbors over for my my daughter's birthday, and 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.240 a lot of baseball fans, right, Dad, A lot of 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.560 fans of baseball were over at our house. And the 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.720 funniest part is half of them didn't even know my 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.480 dad was Sim Kirkshon, which makes for a very funny 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.679 conversation when they walk in and go, happy birthday. Mckinn 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:39.000 Is that Sim birksh What is going on here? But Dad, nonetheless, 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.240 you know this podcast. I'm so proud to tell people 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.079 about it. Not that I'm not proud to tell them 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.480 about the radio show I work for or anything like that, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.280 but because you know, we're gonna have this for the 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.880 rest of our lives.

What do you have for us? 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.680 Well, the Red Sox won the other night, twelve to 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.640 eleven in thirteen innings, Jeff, and that gave them twenty 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.800 seven wins in their last thirty games, twenty seven and three. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.960 This is a team that I've said many times was 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.400 thirty two and forty six with no hope of making playoffs, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.400 and then they reeled off twenty seven out of thirty wins. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:56.200 That's the seventh team since in the last one hundred 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.440 years to have a twenty seven and three stretch. The 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.439 last team to do that was the two thousand and 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.480 seventeen then Indians. And then the interesting part, Jeff, is 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.640 I find this fascinating. The next day they lost to 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.800 the Age, who had lost nine games in a row 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.959 and the Red Sox had won nine games in a row. No, 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:22.360 and the last since two thousand, five times has a 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.839 team that's lost nine in a row faced a team 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.760 that's won five in a row nine in a row, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.719 and all five times the nine losses in a row 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.960 team won. No. Yes, how about that? 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.720 Wait, that's incredible. So since nine game winning streak, nine 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:41.440 game losing. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.960 Streak five times since two thousand, every single. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.319 Time it becomes no winning streaks and no losing streaks 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.680 five and zero. What, that's incredible. That never happens. Never happens, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.000 because you see the stats too. Of course, it's like 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.280 when you're in the playoffs, it's like teams that lead 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.760 two to zero or three to zero, one hundred and 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.360 sixty two and oh or whatever. So that's crazy, right. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.719 So, Jeff, that twelve to eleven game. I remember when 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.319 I used to do the beat, Jeff. I used to 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.240 tell you when I would you know, I've covering a 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.360 team every day, and if a game happened that I 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.760 knew might lead to something really big or really bad, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.600 it was called a circle game. Well, this is the 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.080 ultimate circle game for the Red Sox. I mean, they 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.040 were already in a position now, but you circle that 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.920 twelve to eleven game because they became the first team 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:31.640 in history to score in five consecutive innings in the 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.240 ninth inning or later. Oh my god, Jeff, look, we 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.760 all understand, and we're not going to rain on that 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.800 parade because it was one of the greatest games I've 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.040 ever seen. But it really helps. Since you get a 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.640 runner on second base to start with nobody out to 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.960 start all those innings, Does that take away from it. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.520 We have to mention that, But does that take away 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.839 from it at all for you? Given what the Red 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.840 Sox are doing, what's happening at Fenway. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.679 No, it's so special. And a good friend of mine, 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.240 Austin Pollock, who who currently lives in Nashville as a reporter, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.960 he went back to Boston He's from the area, and 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.760 went to a Boston Red Sox game because he had 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.200 to go. He said, the energy surrounding this team right now, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.720 he planned a trip just to go to a Socks game. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.320 Oh yeah, I mean, I guess his White's bridal shower 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.960 was there too, But he made it sound like, right, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.160 I gotta go see the Socks because the energy surrounding 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.640 that team in Fenway Park is I mean, I'm hearing 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.800 from friends and family it's next level because of this 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:29.559 exciting run. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.439 Right, it is so good. It's so good for baseball 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.480 because you know, East Coast buys all that stuff. Look, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.960 any team that wins twenty seven out of thirty, that's 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.720 pretty darn impressive. But when it's the Red Sox and 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.959 when they were that bad, really, and I don't think 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.640 I've ever seen an in season turnaround quite like this one. 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.360 It has been absolutely fat. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:51.560 It's been very fun to watch. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.199 All right. So, Jeff, Max schus Are struck out for 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.679 yesterday on Saturday. So what happened to mac shuers are 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.320 Now that he struck out four more batters? 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:03.760 Who did he pass on the list? 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.720 Well you got to figure that out, Jeff, Jeff. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.840 I can't remember, Jeff, Come on, Walter Johnson? Yeah, no, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:14.880 stop it, Jeff. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.920 Really, three thousand, five hundred and sixteen strikeouts. Max Schurzer 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.640 just passed Walter Johnson into tenth place all time on 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.520 the strikeout list. I ever tell you I went to 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920 Walter Johnson High School? You know how many people wrote 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.120 in this week? We had two. I think we had 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.600 two different people who wrote in they went to a 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.680 high school or a middle school named after somebody named Johnson. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.120 I think, sorry, I should have looked this up. I 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.840 think I think one of them was Fletcher Johnson Junior 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.200 High and the guy wrote, did I ever tell you? 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:46.600 I went to. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.320 Fletcher Johnson Junior High? So Max Schurzer has finally replaced 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.040 Walter Johnson all time strikeout lists. Pretty cool, that is 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.320 pretty He gotta get w J And I've just decided, Jeff, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.360 we have to get into every show that we do. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.360 It's now a requirement, agreed. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.920 Well, Dad, we actually redid our set here and I 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.200 can't help but notice, I mean, who's the old man 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.640 behind you. That's just like kind of like an old 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.600 timey baseball guy. We need to get a Walter Johnson 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.360 thing here in this studio, Joe. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.040 I know books, I got hats.

I'm gonna put the details in the show 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.040 notes so you can check it out. It's a live event. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.240 It's called a Night with Tim Kirkshen that starts at 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.200 two pm. Interesting I named it not thinking, oh my gosh, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.440 we're doing an afternoon event and I just called it 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.040 a Night with Tim Kirkshon. Doesn't make any sense. But nonetheless, 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.200 it's gonna be great chat with Baseball Q and A. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.880 There's gonna be great giveaways. It's gonna be a fun time. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.760 So come on down. And most importantly, because I understand 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.840 most people don't live in this area who listen to 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.640 our show, you can donate. So in the link below 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.080 there's a donation link.

So again, look below, help 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.120 out our friend Michael Brown because we know he needs that, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.960 his family needs it, and we're always here to help 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.560 those with als. So all right, dad, thanks for letting 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.000 me do that. Aside, I'm sorry, Okay. A couple other things. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.400 Jeff Jordan Walker hit his first home run since winning 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:11.399 the home run Derby. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.040 He'd gone eighty three at bats Jeff without a home 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.760 run after winning the home run Derby. So that is 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:22.440 that sets a record for the longest streak without a 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.320 home run after the derby by. The Derby winner, Vladimir 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.200 Guerrero Senior had seventy five at bats without a homer 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.600 after he won the home run Derby. Jordan Walker finally 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.119 hit the first one, and people always odd it's a 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.480 ridiculous excuse. I think there's something to it. James Wood 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.840 went through a very similar period. Kyle Schwarber has one 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.199 home run since the home run Derby. So you know, 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.000 you say, now, it's just baseball. It probably is, but 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.480 there are too many situations where the home run derby 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.520 guy has a difficult time hitting homers after the home 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:58.119 run Derby. 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.000 Makes sense, it's not quite the Curse of the Man 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.600 and cover, but there's a little something there because you 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.000 kind of get your mindset different and then you feel 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.920 the pressure on the back end and the season to 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.160 still be that home run hitter. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.000 Right, Okay. Matt Olsen of the Braves played in his 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.440 eight hundred and ninety sixth consecutive games. Wow, it's now 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.520 the eighth longest of all time. He passed Stan Musial 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.640 on that list. And anytime you can bring up Stan Musial, 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.440 you do it because it's one of the great players ever, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.159 the most underrated superstar for me ever, and one of 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.879 the great people I've ever met in the game. And Jeff. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.320 A lot of honorees this week. Number one Chase Utley 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.200 Hall of Fame for the Phillies. We watched the tribute 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.919 that the Phillies do a really good job on this. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:42.680 You were riveted, correct. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.080 Yeah, you know, I really think it's so important for 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.920 these teams to honor their legends, right because Chase Utley, Dad, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.480 you and I have discussed this will be a Hall 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.080 of Famer one day, right, Maybe not next. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.960 Year, maybe two years. I would say in two years. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.119 That's your prediction. And I totally agree but you know 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.399 these when when Eachi Ro went in with Seattle, Randy 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.119 Johnson and all the it's just so cool because it 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.040 gets those teams a chance to honor them. Not every 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.960
