However, we're not quite there yet. 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Once we get into March and things turn over to 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: the regular season, we're going to bring you three episodes 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: a week, including a great interview with somebody across the 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: game of baseball as always, And Dad, I know you 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: and I have already been texting about some exciting guests 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: that we hope to bring in, maybe even before the 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: season starts. But we'll do three episodes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: once the regular season kicks off, but still weekly on 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Tuesdays during the off season, and that in part because 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot of personal things have been happening during this offseason. 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: This is when you seem to get almost as much 22 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: done as you do during the regular season, and you 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: get a lot of baseball done during the regular season, 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: but you get a lot of personal life done during 25 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: this time, well, a lot. 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: Of great things. Your sister Kelly had a baby on 27 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: December twenty third, Casey Robert Kenahan. So now the Keenanans 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: have three children, two parents, so they're at a zone defense. 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: The kids are all the power play then a pop 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: up at Kakat are pretty busy these days trying to 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 2: help out, but it's wonderful. And Carson Keenahan will turn 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: five years old on Thursday, and you'll be coming down 33 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: for his birthday party, which will be held the big 34 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: party on January the seventeenth. I think he'll probably including school. 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: Jeff have like four birthday parties when you were five? 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: Did you have four birthday parties? 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: I think I only had one, and that might have 38 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: been close to my Blues Clues birthday party, where you 39 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: dressed up like Steve from Blues Clues and we're singing 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: all the songs. We just got a lit or we 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: just got a lit or I wonder who it's from. 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: I even I even comb my hair back when I 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: had hair to look like Steve's hair. Yes, she did, 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: and I wore that ridiculous striped shirt to look like Steve. 45 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: We are looking for blues clues, right. 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: That was it, Yeah, I'm looking for blues clues. 47 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: Good memory had their little Sean Reedy had his little 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: notepad and there were clues everywhere. That was really bad, Joe, 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: but it was fun. It was it was great. 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: So let's just be glad Twitter wasn't around at that time. 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: If that photo surfaced, which I still have somewhere in 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: the depths of my world over here, I have, I 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: definitely have a picture of you as Steve. I just 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: got to find it. I know Katkat has it in 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: a scrap book somewhere right. 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Well, thank goodness, we're not showing that. Also, best Chris's present, Jeff, 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: you sent me a video of Emily Kircheon. You guys 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: were so excited about the present that I got you, 59 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: and it was a video of Emily. What was she doing? 60 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Jeff, Dad, you bought us a combo mop vacuum, a 61 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: cordless mop and vacuum. Listen this that you and I 62 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: have the same love language, and that is cleaning. The 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: gift of a vacuum is like the greatest gift you 64 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: can get as an adult. And this thing is got 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: some power, it's got some suction. I mean you barely 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: need to touch it, and it's dragging you across the floor. 67 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: We love it. We cleaned our floors yesterday and Emily said, 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm going to do it again tomorrow. 69 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: It's great. 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: Right, and I did not violate the rule of our 71 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: former next door neighbor, she told us, In no way, 72 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: shape or form is my husband allowed to buy me 73 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: anything that you have to plug in and in with 74 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: a wire. 75 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: You don't have to plug it in, right, Well, you 76 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: have to charge it, but yes, then then it's wireless 77 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: at all. You don't have to plug it in to 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: use it. You just got to plug it in before 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: you use it. 80 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: Well, most people send you this little video of their 81 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: favorite Christmas president. It's you know, it's a it's a shirt, 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: or it's some clothes or some cool thing. But in 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: this case, it was a vacuum floor bop. And I'm 84 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: just thrilled that we got that done. I'm also thrilled, Jeff, 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: that we just picked up Rexy, our dog, who's three 86 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: years old, a rescue and she just got back from 87 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: training she's been officially trained now, so now kat can 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: and I have to make sure we reinforce everything that 89 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Rexy just learned while she was away. So we boot 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: camp at Sodscamp and I love the people there. I 91 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: think they did a great job. She came home as 92 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: a much more train dog. 93 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: I mean, there's did you know, honestly, Dad, did you 94 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: notice a difference in demeanor. 95 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: A little bit? But you really gotta you like, gotta 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: reinforce it immediately. And I was really surprised Jeff that 97 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 2: the word stay is not often used. It's like stop 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: or place or something like that, which of course ruins 99 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: one of Steven Wright's best jokes. He said, I love dogs. 100 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: Stephen Wright loves dogs, but he said, I name my 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: dog Stay. It's really confusing. Come here, stay, Come here, stay, 102 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: come here. I mean, that's not even dog come here, 103 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: place right. 104 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: That's not even his best dog related joke. Isn't he 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: the one who wrote I poured spot remover on my 106 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: dog and now he's gone. 107 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: I spilled spot remover on my dog, Now he's gone. Yes. 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: I just read Steven Wright's new novel called Harold, and 109 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: if you haven't read it, you really need to read it. 110 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: It is bizarre beyond words. But he is unbelievably funny, 111 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: smart and thoughtful and clever. My goodness. So that that 112 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 2: was Christmas. So as we finish on into twenty twenty six, Jeff, 113 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to tease the team Tim. We will have 114 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: a Team Tim. I vowed this is one of my 115 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: many New Year's resolutions. We will have a Team Tim 116 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: every week, no matter what, because it's the most pointless 117 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: thing that we do. But people apparently seem to like 118 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: this because they're always chiming in on different team Tims. Well, 119 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: this one is the greatest players ever. We have a 120 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: team catcher through pitcher all the way through of the 121 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: players that were number twenty and number twenty six. Of 122 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: course we have Frank Robinson and Mike Schmidt at twenty 123 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: and you know, Wade Bugs and others at twenty. The 124 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: whole list of Jeff, We're not going to insult our viewers. 125 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: They know who twenty six. Wade bogs the best twenty six, 126 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: and either Mike Schmid or Frank Robbinson is the greatest 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 2: number twenty. So if you want to do your list 128 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: and see where it compares to ours, nobody's right, nobody's wrong. 129 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: Go ahead, We're going to give you the next thirty 130 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: minutes to do that. 131 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Well, before we get to the takeaways, Dad, we have 132 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: one glaring omission. Oh wait, no, did we talk about it. 133 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: We talked about the new TV hanging in your office, 134 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: but now officially it's it's the greatest TV in the 135 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: house because you've got a brand new cable box for it, 136 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: and you can do anything with that. 137 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: Right right now, I can turn the television on and 138 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: I and it just turns on, and I can just 139 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: hit a button and it changes to the station that 140 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: I want, meaning I don't have to go through the 141 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: Internet in order to turn the TV on and switch. 142 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: And now I have this remote control where I can 143 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: this worked on my own little TV. You know, you 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: press a button and say Colombo and all the Columbo 145 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: episodes come up. So finally my office is has a 146 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: great new television. And you helped with that, of course, 147 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: but it's it's a television that I know how to operate, 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: which at age sixty nine is important to me. Agreed well. 149 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: And also Mom logged into Netflix and Disney Plus and 150 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: all this stuff on your thing because you know, national Treasure, 151 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: one of your favorite movies streaming on Disney Plus right now. 152 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Not an ad, but right It also shocks me that 153 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: you've worked technically for the Disney Company for this many 154 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: years and we can't even get my guy a Disney 155 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: Plus account. Well maybe you do, you know, quite frankly, 156 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: you probably do, and you just don't know how to access. 157 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: I'm sure I have a lot of things, Jeff, that 158 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: I don't know how to access. So that's not just 159 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: television either, So we'll leave it at that. So, yeah, 160 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: So it was a great Christmas, it was a great 161 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: New Year, and now everything restarted today January the fifth. 162 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: As we move ahead, all sorts of crazy things are 163 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: going to happen. In baseball. It still amazes me, Jeff, 164 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: that so many important free agents, you know, are still 165 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: out there. We're not gonna mention any of them because 166 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: they might sign tonight. We're going to be too late. 167 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: But you know, here we are, We're less than forty 168 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: days from spring training and some of the best spring 169 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: free agents are still waiting to get signed. It's just 170 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: does that surprise you too, Jeb, wouldn't you want to 171 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 2: know as a team and as a player. Let's go 172 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: where I'm going to be. 173 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: I think so. But I think there's also a lot 174 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: of holding out for money and people are waiting for 175 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: the dominoes to fall. Why sign one guy when another 176 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: guy hasn't signed yet and you have a chance to 177 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: go after him, Or in the case of so many teams, 178 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: they're waiting for their star to sign and if they 179 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: don't get that, then they're going to have to go 180 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: after the smaller guys to fill that hole. So I mean, yes, 181 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: you're right, Dad, It doesn't surprise me, but it makes 182 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: me sad because the days of going to the winter 183 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: meetings and you know, deals in back rooms and in 184 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: the lobby and in the hotel rooms, and that's when 185 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: everything would get done because we couldn't just chext Hey, 186 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: how much money do you want from? You know, all 187 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So it definitely is very, very different, Dad, 188 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: But you know, we're keeping our eyes on it. It's 189 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: an exciting time for baseball with all the signings. One 190 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: signing that I'm really excited about is not actually a 191 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: player at all. It's the new edition of the bench 192 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Coach of the Phillies. We were so excited to talk 193 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: about this. Don Mattingly is going to be the bench 194 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: coach for the Phillies. 195 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: And you know, his son, Preston is the general manager 196 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: of the Phillies, So this is really great news. We're 197 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: going to get Don Mattingly on the podcast to be 198 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: interviewed this month, at least that's part of the plan. 199 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: And Don Mattingly is one of the great players that 200 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: I ever covered. Nobody played the game better, you know, 201 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: with more respect, more dignity the way the game is 202 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: supposed to be played than Don Mattingly. Preston Mattingly, his 203 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 2: son is a great kid, so this is great. This 204 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: is something he's always wanted to do, is work with 205 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: his son. I know he was privately hoping that the 206 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: Blue Jays would play the Phillies in the World Series 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, which was a possibility because then 208 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: one of the matting leaves was guaranteed to win the 209 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: World Series. Didn't happen, but it's all good, and I 210 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: love this for the Madding League family. 211 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: Another father and son duo. Maybe we should think about 212 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: having on the shell maybe before the season starts too, 213 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: because they're going to both be very very busy with 214 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: this Phillies team. Come March. What does the takeaways to you? 215 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: We only have a couple, Jeff. There's no reason too, 216 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: because it's been the quietest week between New Year's. But 217 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays did it again. They signed third baseman 218 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: Kazuma Okamoto, who's a power hitting third baseman twenty nine 219 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: years old. And this just is another reminder, Jeff, the 220 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: Blue Jays are all in Okay. They have the fifth 221 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: highest payroll in baseball. They have money to spend. You know, 222 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: the Rogers family which owns, of course, the team Rogers Center. 223 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: They have a lot of money to deal with. And 224 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: as I told you once they played in the World 225 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: Series and they saw what that atmosphere was like at 226 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: the Rogers Center, they said, this is it. You know, 227 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: this team has arrived and they've only gotten better in 228 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: the offseason. Now Akamodo can hit with power, and we'll 229 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: see they gave him a four year deal. Then they 230 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: can move Ernie Clement to second. You know, Akamoto is 231 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: not the defensive player that Ernie Clement is, but they'll 232 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: take the home run. Believe me, the Blue Jays hit 233 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: the ball out of the ballpark last year. They weren't 234 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: just some pesky little put the ball in play, but 235 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: I really like where they are. I think the reigning 236 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: American League champions have really gotten better, and we'll see 237 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: what this kid can do at third base. 238 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: What about any Hall of Fame updates, Dad, you can 239 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: jump in. 240 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta be careful with that, Jeff. I hand 241 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: it in my ballot and instead of letting everybody know 242 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: who I voted for, I keep it secret until the 243 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: announcement is made on January twentieth who made it to 244 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame because we have these guys who 245 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: are great at this. They do Hall of Fame trackers, 246 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: and they're really good and they're really important. I love 247 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: these guys, don't get me wrong, But I'm just not 248 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: going to join in and tell everyone who I voted for. 249 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: And I've been a voter for thirty five years for 250 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, because I still think there should 251 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,239 Speaker 2: be some drama on January the twentieth when Jack O'Connell, 252 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: our friend, gets on the phone and calls, well, I 253 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: think this year Carlos Beltron and says, congratulations, you've made 254 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,119 Speaker 2: it to the Hall of Fame. I mean, if everyone 255 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: already tells you who they voted for, that there might 256 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: not be any drama on January twentieth. Does that make 257 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: sense to you? 258 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: And we know you, Dad, you love some drama, Jeff. 259 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: A Secret Live of Mormon Wives is your favorite show? 260 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: Right again? Another series, Jeff, that I have never seen. 261 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: I watch baseball for the entire baseball season. I never 262 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: watch anything else. And when basketball comes around, I mean 263 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: when off season comes around, I watch a lot of basketball. 264 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: I'm pretty pretty narrow minded when it comes to what 265 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: I watch. 266 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: It's just my choice and it's understandable, Dad, absolutely, But 267 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: one show you need to watch this is an aside. 268 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: We're watching season two right now of Landman with Billy 269 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: Bob Thornton. Dad. It's amazing. I'm just telling you now. 270 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not an ad paramount plus Landmann, and so the 271 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: guy who did Yellowstone, Taylor Sheriding, created a show called 272 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Landman two seasons now. The second season is week by week. 273 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: I think it's eight episodes in by the time that 274 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about this, and it's about Billy Bob Thornton, 275 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: who runs, you know, helps run an oil company who's 276 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: pumping oil in Texas. And it is so good, it 277 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: is so funny, it is so fun it's enjoyable. Dad, 278 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: you just you gotta watch it, you gotta. We'll get 279 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: it on your new TV. 280 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: All right, yeah, land Man, I got it, Jip, Thank 281 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: thanks very much. We just gotta just gotta get mom interested, 282 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: because right now. 283 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: She's probably I can guarantee. Hey, Siri, text Mom, have 284 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: you watched Landman yet? Question mark? I'll give you an 285 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: update on what she says? 286 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: All right, very good. 287 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: But Dad, the point of this is, you lived in 288 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: Texas for a while. Did you ever run into any landmen, 289 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: any people working in the oil field. Did you ever 290 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: did anybody ever try to poach you from the Dallas Morning? 291 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: No? No, no, no no. But your uncle Andy worked at 292 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: Slumberja for years. Electrical engineer PhD mit he worked in 293 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: the oil business. So that's the closest thing I got 294 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: to that jet is I used to change my oil 295 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: in the car. After I did not put any oil 296 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: in the car, the engine seized, the car was ruined, 297 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: and then for about ten years I changed my oil. 298 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: I wonder how many people out there have actually changed 299 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: their oil. Maybe way more than I think. But I 300 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: do not look like the type of person that could 301 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: change the oil. But I was so embarrassed that it 302 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: was a very old car. But I ruined the car 303 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: by not paying attention to the oil engine light and 304 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: I never put oil in it, and the car just 305 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: stopped one day and that was it. 306 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad, that's something you've brought up a couple times, 307 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: and I have to say, you have changed oil in 308 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: a car more times than I have. Now, granted you 309 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: are twice my age, but nonetheless I've only done it 310 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: one time. And now I just bring it, I bring 311 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: it to the shop. I just I just don't have 312 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the time or the effort or the I get a 313 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: little nervous getting underneath the car like that. It's not 314 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: my thing. So I for somebody who claims to not 315 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: be very handy, that's that's very impressive, Dad, that you've 316 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: changed your oil that many times. 317 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: Claims to not be very handy. Please, Jeff, I am 318 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 2: the worst. 319 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: YEA proof is in the pudding. You're right, A very 320 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: good point, very good point, all right, Dad? On this 321 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: state in baseball history, what do you have for it? 322 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: In nineteen twenty six, where Ralph Branca was born, Ralph 323 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 2: Brank of course, pitched for the Dodgers and gave up 324 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: the home run to Bobby Thompson in the famous Game 325 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: three of the Playoffs in nineteen fifty one. And I'll 326 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 2: never forget this, Jeff. I think I told you this before. 327 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 2: I took your grandfather Pop, who loved baseball and had 328 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: such a wonderful feel for it. I took him to 329 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame for the first time. This was 330 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 2: about thirty years ago. So my dad was about almost 331 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: seventy years old and he had never been to the 332 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. So we pull off the highway to 333 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: go on the road that takes you into Cooperstown, and 334 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: we stop for gas and Pop gets out to get 335 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: something to drink or something like that, and there is 336 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: a man. The first person he sees when he walks 337 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: into goes down that road at the gas station was 338 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: Ralph Branca. And he recognized Ralph Branca and they had 339 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: like a ten minute conversation while pumping gas. How great 340 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: is that? I mean? And that's not a Cooperstown story. 341 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what is. 342 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is either, because also, Dad, 343 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: that your grand your father, my grandfather never met a stranger, 344 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: that's for sure, right, So that could have been Bill Brown, 345 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: some nobody and he still would have had a ten 346 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: minute conversation with him about whatever he wanted. 347 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 2: Right, But my father was thrilled that there was a 348 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: big leaguer right there at the gas station, first person 349 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: he saw when we got on the road to Cooperstown, Okay. 350 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: Also on this date, Jeff, In twenty ten, Andre Dawson 351 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 2: was elected to the Hall of Fame. The Hawk. I 352 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: think he won eight gold gloves. A ton of homers 353 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: could really run, had tremendous power. Let's see if you 354 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: remember my personal connection to Andre Dawson. 355 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: Didn't you score on in the celebrity softball game and 356 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: a ball that hit on top of his head? 357 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: No, Andre Dawson, one of the great one are the 358 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: great defensive center fielders ever played first base next to 359 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: me in this and there was a pop up that 360 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: hit him in the head. And after the game, his 361 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 2: wife told him that's it. You're not playing ever again. 362 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: You're gonna get hurt because this great center fielder got 363 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: hit in the head on a pop up in the 364 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: We laughed, he laughed so hard, it was the funniest 365 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: thing ever. But yes, in that game, Andre Dawson singled 366 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: and I scored from second on a single hit by 367 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: the Hawk. And you know who the left fielder was 368 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: who tried to throw me out at the plate. Who 369 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: I can't believe you don't remember me? Fuck Jamie Fox. 370 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: That's right, Okay, pretty good. Most talent man in Hollywood, 371 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 2: isn't that what you call him? 372 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he is just unbelievably talented. I can do voices, 373 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: he can sing, he can perform. Dad. This is so pathetic. 374 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: But like you ever, like tap into a weird memory 375 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: where you're like, why in the world would I remember 376 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: this name or this moment? But every time I think 377 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: of that Andre Dawson hit off the top of his head, 378 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: I think of Neil Hendron. Do you remember Neil Hendron. 379 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: I used to play baseball with him. Of course, he 380 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: was playing first base. I was dinky little second baseman 381 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: as always, and he was under a ball at first base. 382 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,239 Speaker 1: It bounced off of his head and I caught it 383 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: behind him because I was backing him up. I will 384 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: never I don't have a lot of good memories of 385 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: baseball besides hitting that ball over third baseman's head off 386 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: Nick Pack at Darnstown Park. I remember that. But Neil 387 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: Hendron bounced the ball off of his head and I 388 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: caught it behind him, backing him up because I at 389 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: the moment it was not confident if he was going 390 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: to catch it. 391 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: Her right, Jeff, that would have been scored seven and 392 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: a eighth to four because it hit him in the 393 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: head and you caught it at second base. That would 394 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: have been the official scoring on that Also on this 395 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: date in nineteen seventy eight, Casey Fossum was born. You 396 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: don't remember him, Jeff, You shouldn't. He was a very 397 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: good pitcher for a very short time, but hung around 398 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: for a while. Was incredibly thin, so he got traded 399 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: to the Red Sox. He meets Grady Little, the manager 400 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 2: of the Red Sox, for the first time, and someone 401 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: asked him, I know, what'd you think of the first 402 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: time when Casey showed up? He said, I asked him 403 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: when the rest of him was going to show up? 404 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: Because he was so thin. He thought, like, this is 405 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: only half of a person, But it just shows you 406 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: as thin and as skinny as Casey Fossen was, Lefty, 407 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: he could really throw hard. He was a good major 408 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: league pitcher, and I remember him. I remember him well. 409 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 2: And also on this date in nineteen ninety one, Kevin 410 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: Gossman was born. Of course, blue Jay's pitcher as one 411 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: of the great split fingers fastballs in the game. And 412 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: I've said this to you before, Jet, but it just 413 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: amazed me. You know, when you throw that split, especially 414 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 2: with the odd grip that he uses, it can cause blisters. 415 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: So he chooses not to throw his split in between 416 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 2: starts most of the time because he doesn't want to 417 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: aggravate and get a blister in between starts. So here 418 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: it's clearly his number one pitch and he only he 419 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 2: almost never practices it. He just throws it in the game. 420 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: Do you find that interesting, because I do. 421 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it. It would be like not working 422 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: out legs if you're a runner, you know what I mean, 423 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: you only do upper body. But it makes sense because 424 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: if you start to get calloused and everything, it's going 425 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: to change the direction of the pitch and how it performs. 426 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: Okay, So those are this date in baseball history, January 427 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: the sixth. 428 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: Three cards in the bathroom, Dad, with that big bathroom 429 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: in the basement that has all those baseball cards displayed, 430 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: You grabbed a couple from the mint that's down there, 431 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: tell and it is a mint. 432 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: Play. The difference, please the right and a first baseman's 433 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: mitt and everything else fingers right, sorry, right, Okay. The 434 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: number one guy I first one I picked out was 435 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: Dan Quisenberry. Dad Quisonberry pitch for the Royals and later 436 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: for the Cardinals, but he was a very underrated closer. 437 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: Saved two hundred and forty four games, led the league 438 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 2: in saves five different times. Go back and look at 439 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: his basically his six year prime. Boy, that was breathtaking 440 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: to watch. And one of his best years, of course, 441 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 2: was nineteen eighty five when the Royals won the World Series, 442 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: so he got the most of the big outs and Jeff, 443 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: you know, he's a submariner. He looked like a librarian. 444 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: There was nothing about him that looked athletic. But he 445 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: was a really good pitcher. And I also love when 446 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: he went to the Cardinals. His catcher one game at 447 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 2: least was Todd Zeal So we had a pitcher with 448 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: a Q throwing to a catcher with a Z. That's 449 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: trust me. That was I'm not sure it was the 450 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: first time ever. It was rare that we had a 451 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: Q throw to a Z. It's happened since I can't 452 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: even remember the names of the people involved not important, 453 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: but those are the things that always struck me. We 454 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 2: got a guy with a Q as a pitcher and 455 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: Z as the catcher. Number two is Pat Tabler, very 456 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: good hitter in his day, Indians, a bunch of then Indians, 457 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: a bunch of other teams. But I've really gotten to 458 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: know Pat Tabler in recent years. He's a great broadcaster, 459 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: did pre and posts and games and everything for the 460 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: Blue Jays for years. But what I didn't know until 461 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: a few years ago, Jeff, he is a absolute magician 462 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 2: with baseball statistics, trivia stuff. He's always I asked him 463 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: one day, he and Buck Martinez. I just asked him 464 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: like a trivia question, and they both went like this, 465 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: Oh my god, we love this stuff. And I'm thinking 466 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: baseball players don't love this stuff, but Pat Tabler and 467 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: Buck martinz. But Pat especially loves it and he's really 468 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: good at it. When I gave him you know the 469 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 2: you know the six players who had forty homers in 470 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: a season with ten or more letters of their last name, 471 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: he couldn't wait to attack that. That's what he loved. 472 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: And I asked him once not too long ago, Jeff, 473 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: give me the five greatest players in the history of 474 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: the Reds. Because I was speaking at a banquet in Cincinnati. 475 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 2: This is over a year ago, and I said, because 476 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: Pat Tabler's from Cincinnati, I said, give me the five 477 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 2: greatest Reds in order, because it's not easy in order. 478 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 2: He get in like ten minutes later, he gave me 479 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: the top ten Reds in order, including EPA Rixie, who 480 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: pitched nineteen twenty one to nineteen thirty three. I mean, 481 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 2: he goes back that far. And I said, Pat, how 482 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 2: could you know this? He goes, I've always loved this stuff, 483 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: always said Jeff. When you can find a baseball player 484 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 2: that loves that kind of stuff, count me in. 485 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: Isn't that your dog's name? No, that's Rexy. I'm sorry. 486 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I got those two mixed. 487 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: Steps right, and Rex Rexy's downstairs trying to get ain't 488 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 2: at home. We don't reinforce this. We're in big trouble. 489 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: Last night, your wife has still not responded about Landman. 490 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume she's knee deep in the training right now. 491 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: She's down there saying place or stay. It's like it. 492 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: He revids me of one of the great scenes ever 493 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: from Father of the Bride when Steve Martin runs into 494 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: his future father in law's dog who's like a killer dog, 495 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: and they have a command in order for the dog 496 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: to like leave, and Steve Martin knew what it was, 497 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 2: but then he forgot in his panic and he said 498 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: like repent, release, repeal, reversed, reversed, Like the dog's gonna 499 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: go and reverse and leave him. Oh God, so good. 500 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: So baby, we'll be working on that with Rexy.

Really good player, Jeff, as you know, and 504 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 2: I grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. I was the biggest 505 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants fan on the East Coast. I wasn't 506 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: proud of that, but I loved the Giants and Chris 507 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 2: Spire joined them in the early seventies. He had a 508 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 2: tremendous throwing arm. His nickname was the Alameda Rifle. And 509 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 2: the glove that I wore in high school, I had 510 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: number thirty five Chris Spire written on my glove. That's 511 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: how much I loved Chris Spire. And it's so cool 512 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: because I got to know him really well as a 513 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: major league coach, and he was, you know, on Dusty 514 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: Baker's staff a bunch of times. So I told him 515 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: once that I wrote my name on his name on 516 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: my glove, and he just shook his head, like, what 517 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: is wrong with you? A lot of people have done 518 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: that to me over the years. 519 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Jeff, all right, Dad, We're excited to introduce a brand 520 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: new segment in January that is going to be kind 521 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: of a continuation. We asked our listeners, members of the 522 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: family to tell us what they want to hear when 523 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: it comes to kind of like serial content week by 524 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: week here on the show. And this is not the 525 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: only bit we're gonna do, but we're going to bring 526 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: a couple new ones. But starting this week, we have 527 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: from Burley to Behemoth, the best players from fifty six 528 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: to ninety nine. Now, for perspective, we did from Ozzie 529 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: to Oral one to fifty five, Ozzie Smith being one, 530 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: an Oral Herscheizer being fifty five, and now we have 531 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: Burley to Behemoth fifty six to ninety nine. 532 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: Care to explain, yeah, Jeff, it requires a lot of explanation, 533 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: and this is a gigantic stretch this whole bit, because 534 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to 535 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: find a player for every number out there. Okay, I'm 536 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: not sure there's an all time greatest number seventy two. 537 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: I'm sure there is, but I'm going to really have 538 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: to work at this reason. It's Burley to Behemoth. Why 539 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: why did I mention behemoth? Who's our number ninety nine? 540 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: It's got to be judge right right, And he's gigantic. 541 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: He is a behemoth. So in order to keep the 542 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 2: assie to oral kind of the flow there, number fifty six, 543 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: of course is Mark Burley spelled b u e h 544 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: e l e, not b u r l y. But 545 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 2: you can be Burley, but then something bigger than that 546 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 2: is a behemoth. So if someone's got a better a 547 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 2: better tag line for us, you let us know. But 548 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: for today, we're going with the best number fifty six ever, 549 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: Mark Burley. He won two hundred and fourteen games, Jeff, 550 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 2: He had a three eighty one e er. He worked 551 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: faster than any pitcher I've ever seen, which, of course, 552 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: you know ingratiated him to all sports writers and announcers 553 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: and teammate because he worked so quickly he threw a 554 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: perfect game in the major leagues. And Jeff, I really 555 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: believe this after all these years, that when you work 556 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 2: fast as a pitcher, Now every pitcher has to work fast. 557 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: Mark Burley didn't even need a ten second pitch clock 558 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: because he was getting it and he was strong and 559 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: he did not overpower anyone, but he got people out 560 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: because he knew what he was doing. He was fearless. 561 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: He attacked the strike zone, and he worked quickly. Do 562 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: you remember who I told you? Yes? 563 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: Go well, I was gonna I was going to say 564 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: we need a team tim off Mark Burley because I 565 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: think he could could maybe make it on the All 566 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Tim difficult to pronounce last name team. 567 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's but r l E does not spell. 568 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: Did I spell it incorrectly the first time? I think 569 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: I did? B u e h r l E. 570 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: No, No one's gonna get upset with you. 571 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: You're in the office. It's a hard work. It's a 572 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: hard one. Mark. Let's see if you remember, You'll never 573 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: get this. Jeff, who was the slowest worker that I 574 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: told you I ever. 575 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: Saw pitching on the mound? 576 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 2: Clay buck cults, uh No, clay Buckolts was really slow. 577 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: Steve Traxel is the slowest worker. And Steve Traxel was 578 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: a good Major league pitcher, Don't get me wrong. But 579 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: Mark Grace told me once that he screamed at Steve Traxel. 580 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: Throw the damn ball, it's hot out here, Edie. 581 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: He was his teammate. He was playing first base, yelling 582 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: at his own picture to throw the damn ball. It's 583 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 2: hot out here. Mark Burley was the opposite of that. 584 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: So we'll go. Now, that's the first up through ninety nine. 585 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the only argument Dad, we could make for 586 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: the number ninety nine would be, if I'm not mistaken, 587 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: didn't Manny Ramirez wear ninety nine from the Dodgers. But 588 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: I think Judge would would pass that, right, I mean, 589 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: of coursepectfully, of course, the era of ninety nine, I 590 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: mean yes, and Judge. 591 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 2: Is warned his entire career. Manager just wore it at 592 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: the end. You know, we had mich Williams for a 593 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: while in jen Ryu ninety nine. You know, we've had 594 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 2: a few guys who wore number ninety nine. 595 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: So but we'll get there. When we get there, we'll 596 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: see number ninety nine again in November. 597 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, So we're going to do one per day, 598 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 2: I mean one per week. Next week is fifty seven. 599 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: I got some options there, but it's not going to 600 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: be easy, but we're going to do our best. 601 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Dad, everybody's asking for it. A team 602 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: ten week by week. I've decided I'm going to work 603 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: next week, Dad, on the all impossible to pronounce last 604 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: name team. Okay, I'm taking that one on. 605 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'll be the sports writer. I'll be the 606 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: baseball writer on the all difficult to pronounce team because 607 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: before I went on television, you have no idea how 608 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 2: my name was butcher. But that's either here or there. 609 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: So the team tim for this week, since we just 610 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: got to twenty twenty six, and you know how much 611 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: I love uniform numbers, we're gonna have the greatest players 612 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 2: who wore number twenty and twenty six, So we're sharing 613 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 2: the team between these two great numbers. Okay. So our 614 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: catcher is Jorge Pisada, borderline Hall of Famer War number twenty. 615 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 2: Our first basement is Boog Powell, MVP of the nineteen 616 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 2: seventy season, one of the great big men ever to 617 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 2: play the game. Earl Weaver told me in the seventy 618 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 2: season when Boog won the MVP, Earle told me he 619 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 2: was the manager of the team at Boog weighed three 620 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 2: hundred pounds and he could really move. Jeff. He had 621 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: great hands, he had great feet. But he was an 622 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 2: enormous man who had great power and still runs Boog's 623 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 2: Barbecue at Camdo Yards in Baltimore. Still one of the 624 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: great figures in majorly history. And I usould tell you, Jeff, 625 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: he would come home after an Orioles game, like a 626 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: night game, and he would cook out on his back 627 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 2: porch until like three o'clock in the morning, and he's 628 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 2: drinking beer and he's cooking out because he loves to eat, 629 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 2: and people at some point would yell to him, even 630 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: though they loved it. Book, it's three o'clock in the morning. 631 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: We got to get up in the morning, unlike you 632 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 2: you have a night game. You know. That's incredible, All right, 633 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 2: Number second base was hard. I'm going with Chase Utley 634 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: number twenty six over Frank White of the Royals, one 635 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: of the great defensive second basemen ever who wore number 636 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 2: twenty A debatable case, but I'm going by all the 637 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 2: slightest of margins. I'm going with Chase Utley at second 638 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 2: number twenty six. Mike Schmidt obviously is our third baseman 639 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 2: number twenty. It's either he or Frank Robinson is the 640 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: greatest number twenty of all time. During last season during 641 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 2: Ozzie to Oral, I named Frank Robinson by the slimmest 642 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 2: of margins, the greatest number twenty ever. So Frank is 643 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 2: one outfielder. Billy Williams number twenty six is another outfielder 644 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 2: Hall of famer, So our third outfielder for number twenty 645 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 2: also a Hall of famer. And I'm going to give 646 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 2: you a clue that you have met him once, and 647 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: not not just in passing. He gave you twenty minutes 648 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 2: one day when you were ten. Was this old? 649 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? Was this after I shot one hundred and forty 650 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: at the Oda Saga as a ten year old. On 651 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: the course I met lou Brock. 652 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: No, Jeff, you shot one hundred and forty at age thirty. 653 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 3: If I remember, hey, I played good, then you played 654 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 3: well that day nine nine, Jeff, you shot a ninety four, 655 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 3: and at that course, that's pretty darn good. 656 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: I think Jeff, you had forty six on the back nine. 657 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: Really got to get to lou Brock. 658 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 2: Lou Brock, Yes, and remember what he said to you, Jeff, 659 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 2: you were ten years old and lou Brock, who's one 660 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 2: of the nicest men in the world. Do you remember 661 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 2: what he said to you? Remember what the piece of 662 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 2: life advice he gave you? 663 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: And he told me you got you got a great 664 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: smile and never stop smiling at people. It's a great 665 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: thing to do. It's very disarming, and it's a good 666 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: way to show respect and to have a conversation. It 667 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: was very flattered. 668 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 2: It was really really cool. So lou Brock is our 669 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 2: third outfielders or outfielder all Hall of famers, Billy Williams, 670 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 2: Frank Robinson, lou Brock. Our dh is Wade Boggs. For me, 671 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 2: the greatest number twenty six ever, But we can't put 672 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 2: him at third base because as great as he was, 673 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 2: Mike Schmidt, number twenty was even better. And Don Sutton 674 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: number twenty was our all time starting starting pitcher for 675 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. He wore number twenty and recently, you know, 676 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, Clayton Kershaw passed him 677 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 2: for the most strikeouts in the history of the Los 678 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. DoD Sutton was in many ways underrated, won 679 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: over three hundred games and took several years to get 680 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame, thinking people just thought he 681 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 2: was a compiler. I thought he was good enough to 682 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: go out there every you know, for twenty straight years, 683 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 2: make twenty five starts a year, at least for twenty years. 684 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 2: Pretty darn impressive, DoD Sutton number twenty. 685 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a great team, Tim, the twenty 686 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: twenty six team. 687 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: Tim now and now again. If anyone has a better 688 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six if you have, Oh, oh, I even 689 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 2: forgot somebody. Oh my gosh, Jeff, I've done this before. 690 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 2: Why do I do this? My shortstop? I left out 691 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 2: my shortstop? Oh like yeah, yeah, so Bucky Dent is 692 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 2: my shortstop. Now, maybe there's somebody else, But Bucky Dent 693 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 2: wore number twenty when he played for the Yankees. He 694 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,479 Speaker 2: was a good player for the Yankees, and of course 695 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 2: he hit one of the biggest home runs in Major 696 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: League history, three run home off Mike Terrez playoff game 697 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight against the Red Sox. I got to 698 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 2: know Bucky really well, and I really enjoyed being around him. 699 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: He's really funny, really smart and just a down to 700 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 2: earth Guide Number twenty Bucky Dent is my shortstop. 701 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: Now that is a complete and perfect list. Well, well done, well, 702 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: good dad. Well, I'm glad that we've wrapped up this 703 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: because it's been a minute. Because the last two episodes, 704 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: if you haven't watched or listened to them yet, go 705 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: back and do so.
