We 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: follow Jerry Seinfeld because he's a big Mets fan, and 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: I went back and followed a couple of different celebrities 49 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: at the beginning of this season, just to show them 50 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: that we exist, right, And I guess he had seen 51 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: one of our reels, and I believe it was the 52 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: one where we talked about Pedro Martinez dad and his 53 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: perfect game bid that got taken away in the tenth inning. 54 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: Right. 55 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: We did a reel of that moment, and he followed 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: us from that reel the same day we had done 57 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: the All Seinfeld team. 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: So now with your I mean, we're the only people 59 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: who work here. Is this a great game or what? 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: So? 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: Should I now post the all Seinfeld team you created 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: and then tag him in it? 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it was very strong. Now, let me 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: be clear what I was trying to do, Jeff, I 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: love Seinfeld. It's one of the four greatest sitcoms of 66 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: all time, after Get Smart, All in the Family, and 67 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: Dick Van Dyke. This is my list, Okay, But I 68 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: was just using the primary characters in the TV show. 69 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: So I know, you know, Keith Hernandez should have been 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: the first basement because he appeared in the show. But 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: I was trying to use the people who are constantly 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: on the show. Did I do that incorrectly? 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: Well? 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, but one of our members 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: of our family actually came. 76 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: Up with the all appeared on or. 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: Mentioned in Seinfeld, including George Steinbrenner as the owner, which. 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: I think he's the manager. Yes, yes, I watched all 79 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: of those episodes. I just thought, you know, a one 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: timer does is less important than somebody who's on the 81 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: show all the time. 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: Well, I think you make a good point of it, Dad, 83 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: But I also think that at this point, maybe maybe 84 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: we should check out Jerry Seinfeld post that list up 85 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 2: on our Instagram, and I think that'll make a big difference. 86 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, let's jump right into our takeaway. 87 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: What what happened?

It's the opposite. 178 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: I want to say thank you because in times like that, 179 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: like if I was in my parking lot or something, 180 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: I just change it myself. 181 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: Right. That's what times? Have you successfully changed a tire once? Well, 182 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: that's as many as I have. 183 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: You've done it once, though, I did it once. 184 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: That's it, boy. 185 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: That was yeah, No, I know you have. 186 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: And I was when I was getting ready for the podcast, 187 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: I thought about uh being mean and saying, well you 188 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: never changed a tire, But I mean I didn't change 189 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: mine today. It was too honest to god, too scary, 190 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: too dangerous. They come in with those rocket drills, right, 191 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: you know, the hammer drills, and and here I am 192 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 2: going to be one, right, Jeff, if I can even 193 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: get it off, you know, like sometimes Now, granted it 194 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: is a new truck. I just bought it in April, 195 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: so like hopefully nothing's rusted over at this point.

Gotta buy a new tire, Jeff. 198 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: Triple A is one short of the big leagues. But 199 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: when it comes to car repair like that, it is 200 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame outfit because they show up quickly 201 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: and change your tire on the highway so you don't 202 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 3: get hurt.

Well, we're gonna takeaways from Major League Baseball. Dad, 238 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: What do you mean, Well, cal Rawley is in every episode. 239 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 3: He has to be. Jeff, what a weekend the Mariners 240 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: catcher had at Wrigley Field. He's now got five homers 241 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 3: going in through Monday in his last five games. He's 242 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 3: got thirty one home runs this season, which is the 243 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 3: most at the All Star break by any primary catcher. 244 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: And we're not even at the All Star break. The 245 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: most home runs ever hit by a Mariner before the 246 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: All Star Break is thirty three by Ken Griffy Junior 247 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: and thirty five by Ken Griffy Junior. So the only 248 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: other guy who's even close in Mariner history is cal Raley. 249 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: He's also got Jeff six multi home run games already 250 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 3: this year. The record for multi homer games by a 251 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: catcher in any season by any catcher is eight by 252 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: Jave Lopez in two thousand and three. So just another 253 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: great weekend for cal Raley, the best catcher in baseball. 254 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: Well, that's that that's kind of surprising to me because 255 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: so Mike Piazza has had six multi homer games in 256 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: his career. 257 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: He has the most home runs of any catcher. 258 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 3: Wrong hand, Yes, he's the greatest hitting catcher of all time. 259 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: For me, he never had more than six right in 260 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: a season. 261 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: In a season, of course, yeah, but you would think 262 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: with all the homers he hit yell all right, way 263 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: to go, big dumper, right. 264 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: Big dumper, way to go, Jacob Mazerowski for the Brewers, 265 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: Jeff just did something that no one's ever been ever done. 266 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: And by the way, we had a bunch of those 267 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: this week. But the first eleven innings that he pitched 268 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: in the big leagues, Jeff, he did not allow a hit, 269 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 3: which is just unbelievable. No one's ever done. That first 270 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 3: start he made, he pitched five hitless innings, and then 271 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: he got a cramp and they had to take him 272 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: out of the game after five hitless innings. His second start, 273 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: he pitched six perfect innings. So his first eleven innings 274 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: in the big leagues, he did not allow a hit. Jeff, 275 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: you got to watch this guy throw. He throws one 276 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour. A lot of people do, but 277 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: his four seemer is straight as uncooks begin, and nobody 278 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: can hit that, and nobody can hit anything he's thrown 279 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: up there. And just another reminder, Jef, how great these 280 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: young pictures are that we see virtually every day, there's 281 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: another guy coming up, like every day, he's throwing one 282 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour with stuff that just makes you wonder, 283 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: how does anyone ever hit this? That's how I had. 284 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: You know, one thing that was mentioned and I posted 285 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: the clip on social media about how you found out 286 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: that one day last week was the most hit batters 287 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: of all time. 288 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: In a single day, right, twenty nine histor right, And 289 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: a lot of. 290 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: People began commenting, and I don't want to go down 291 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: the rabbit hole on here, but I thought it was 292 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: just an interesting point. Was they were saying, is that 293 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: something to even be proud of? Because of the out 294 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: of control nature of pictures these days, they're being told 295 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: they need to throw one hundred, they need to throw 296 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: ninety nine, ninety eight, and so the control and the 297 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: finesse of the game. People saying, we've got throwers now, 298 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: not pictures. 299 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: And that's absolutely true, Jef. With this violent stuff that 300 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: these guys have, and yet they can't command it like 301 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: pictures from a different era. That's why, mostly why so 302 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: many hitters are getting hit, and it's starting to bother 303 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: them that this kid has great stuff, but he doesn't 304 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: know how to pitch. Yet and that's leading to a 305 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: lot of hit batters. So yes, there's a flip side 306 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: to really cool note is that this is the reason 307 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: we're having so many hit batters. Okay, Euhanio Suarez hit 308 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: his three hundredth home run of his career. Pretty cool. 309 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: Let's see if you can remember the distinction that I 310 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: brought up multiple times of euhanium. 311 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: Has every vowel in his first name. 312 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: You don't have to sound so bored by it, Jeff. 313 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: He has all the vowels in his first and last 314 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 3: name in his first and last name. 315 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: Yes, And then I told you one of your favorite 316 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: players of all time also has that, and I actually. 317 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: Stumped the Tim Kirkshin with omarvisk. 318 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: That is correct. You did a great job on that, Jeff. 319 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: I'm very proud of you. Suarez has now in nine 320 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: straight full season so this doesn't count twenty twenty with COVID. 321 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: He's hit twenty or more homers in nine straight seasons. 322 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: That's pretty darn impressive. Speaking of homer's, Jeff, Sunday Night, 323 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor hit a home run and what's the distinction 324 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 3: of that. 325 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: Do you remember the Mets had won a certain number 326 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: of games every time Lindor homerd they'd won that game. 327 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: Was it up in the twenties, tent eight row, So 328 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight straight games in which Lindor Homer the Mets 329 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: had won. 330 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: And then in a blowout to your Phillies, he hits 331 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: a home run in the eighth inning and the streak 332 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: is over. So the Carl Farillo record nineteen fifty one 333 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: to fifty three. The Dodgers won twenty nine straight games 334 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: in which Carl Farillo homer. I'm not sure what that means, 335 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: but it's still pretty cool. And we watched it end 336 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: on Sunday night and last takeaway, Jeff, and there are 337 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: a million of them this week. We're just trying to 338 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: do this for time. Joe Adele of the Angels is 339 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 3: really starting to find his way. You know, he was 340 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 3: a top, top top prospect, kind of banged around, struggled 341 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: a little bit here and there, but he recently had 342 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: a stretch of ten home runs in nineteen games for 343 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 3: Joe Adele. Oh my god, he set fire to the rain. 344 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: Nice dad, what did you just drop an Adele reference 345 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: to me? 346 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 3: Two of them? 347 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 1: I was very I mean, hello, how go easy? 348 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: On me, right, Jeff, how about that poor pop pop 349 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 3: who doesn't know anything about music actually looked up adele 350 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 3: songs and came up with two of them. Oh my god, 351 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: set Fire to the Rain. Yeah. 352 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: I just don't think someone like you would be making 353 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 2: a reference like that. I mean, you must have been 354 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: really rolling in the deep to find it. 355 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: I'm starting to I'm starting to get a little bit 356 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: more like you. That much, but a little bit more 357 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 3: like you. You am starting to come up with quirchins, 358 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: and I'm coming up now with musical references. For the 359 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 3: first time in my life. 360 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: I've never been prouder after a year and a half 361 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: of the pod. Look at us, we're turning into each other. 362 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 3: Jeff. I've told you a million times, don't grow up 363 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: to be like me. You can do way better than this. 364 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: I think this is what it's coming to at this point. 365 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 2: All right, Dad, Well, you mentioned quarchins speaking up. 366 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: You were very involved in the quirk chins this week, Jeff, 367 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 3: because you sent along some quirkchins to me things that 368 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: you saw. One was about the Tigers doing something in 369 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 3: the first five innings. What did they do? 370 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: Oh? First five innings? They had how many sacrifice flies. 371 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: They hit four sacrifice flies in the first five innings 372 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 3: of a game. So since I wrote a book called 373 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: I'm Fascinated by sacrifice Flies, and I have to explain this. 374 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: So the last time team hit four sacrifice flies in 375 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 3: the first five innings of the game was in two 376 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: thousand and eight. The Mariners hit four against the Royals 377 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: in the first five innings, and that was the game 378 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 3: that Jose Lopez of the Mariners had three sacrifice flies 379 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 3: in one game, which is in my last book. I 380 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 3: was explaining how unusual this is since then Rowdy Talez 381 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 3: he had a three sacrifice fly game. But it's pretty 382 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 3: hard to do that. But so thank you for the 383 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 3: because I didn't notice it. You said it to me first. 384 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: That was great. 385 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I actually was tracking it because I started 386 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 2: looking at sackflies for something like that, and one of 387 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: our members of our family, two of them actually had 388 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: shouted it out via email. So I love when people 389 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: are on top of this. 390 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 3: Right, And what else did you send me about a 391 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: Cardinals reliever, so Andre Gernillo Jeff recorded his first win 392 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 3: of his major league career and his first save, you remember. 393 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: In a double in the same day. 394 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: Same day in a double header. He pitched a third 395 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: of an inning in the first game of the doubleheader 396 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 3: to get the victory, and then he pitched the second game. 397 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: He pitched an inning and got the victory. Yeah, I 398 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: got the save. Sorry. So he threw eighteen pitches and 399 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 3: got a save and a win in a doubleheader, and 400 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: never had the reason one of those. 401 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: The reason why I couldn't remember it is because that 402 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: was a lot of members of our family, including Catherine Icing. 403 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: She sent that over to us because she was so 404 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: excited to share that. Also Joel Schanker, I'm trying to 405 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: read these names here to get them out. And Tad 406 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: Todd Addington, who has sent us a lot of great stuff, Dad, 407 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: all of them, and Tyler sie Low. 408 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: I was all over that from the beginning, but I 409 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: had to go to Frank from the Elias to double check. 410 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: That's the first time in major league history that anyone's 411 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: ever done that. Speaking of which, first time ever? Give 412 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 3: me the Christian Yellowich note that you sent to me. 413 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: Yes, Christian Yelich had eight RBIs but didn't score a 414 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: single run. And I texted you and I said, one, 415 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: has that ever happened? And two I don't know if well, 416 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: maybe I was just thinking this. Did I ask you 417 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: how many RBIs most RBIs without a run scored? 418 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 3: No, that was the record. You were right, Jeff, You're 419 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 3: instinctly correct. So he wrote, no one had ever had 420 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 3: an eight RBI game without scoring a run, because no 421 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 3: one's ever had an eight RBI game without hitting a 422 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 3: home run. So wow, Christian Yellow set history in two 423 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 3: different ways, which is pretty cool. So this happened the 424 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 3: other day, Jeff. And you know how much I love 425 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 3: umpiring and official scoring because I used to be an umpire, 426 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: used to be an official scorer. So the other day, 427 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: the Rays scored four runs in the first inning of 428 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 3: a game against the Tigers, and all four runs were 429 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: unearned and the Tigers did not make an error in 430 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: the game. So let's see if you can figure out 431 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 3: how a team could score four unearned runs without benefit 432 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 3: of an error. I found it kind of interesting. I've 433 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: seen this before, but you I was too busy looking 434 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 3: up Adele. Was it like, yes, say past ball? Yes? Yes, 435 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 3: So what happened was Jake Rogers, the catcher for the Tigers, 436 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 3: really good defensive catcher, by the way, he had a 437 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: passball on what would have been strike three on what 438 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: was strike three to Brandon Law who then reached base safely. 439 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: But as we know, a passball is not an error, 440 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: but it is. It does lead to unearned runs because 441 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 3: that guy reached on a pass ball, and then of 442 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: course the way the inning unfolded, there should have been 443 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 3: three outs and all four of those runs scored. So 444 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: I checked the last time any team did that in 445 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: a similar way. It was twenty twenty one. William Contreras, 446 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: the catcher for the Braves at the time, made an 447 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 3: error and led, I mean, had a pass ball and 448 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: it led to six under runs for the Phillies in 449 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: one inning. Yes, so there is precedent for it. So 450 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 3: last Friday night, Jeff I didn't know about this, but 451 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: I was told about it on Sports Center that the 452 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 3: Colorado Rockies, who are everywhere. Of course, they have three 453 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 3: guys named Ryan on their team, so they had a 454 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: Ryan Knight. Are you aware of this? 455 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm very aware of Ryan Knight, right, So explain 456 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: what Ryan Knight is. 457 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 3: That were like seven hundred people that went to the game, 458 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 3: all sharing the name Ryan, and they sat like in 459 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: the same section. Is that right? Yeah? 460 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Tickets started at just twenty seven dollars and six hundred 461 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 2: Ryans were welcome to come in for a Ryan meetup, 462 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: and I mean, yeah, you're right. It was all over 463 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 2: Sports Center, it was all over social media, and I 464 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: think this is genius because there is nothing better than 465 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 2: a themed night at the ballpark. 466 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: Listen. 467 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: I know I'm a traditionalist too. 468 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 2: I go to the game for the game, but if 469 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna throw something fun in there, Bobblehead night, whatever 470 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 2: it might be, might as well have some fun, especially 471 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: for a team that's as bad as the Rockies. They 472 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 2: got national coverage over Ryan Knight, so if your name's Ryan, 473 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: you can got Jeff. 474 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 3: I did a little research on Ryan. The first Ryan 475 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: that I could find who ever played in the major leagues, 476 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: he only played for one year, Ryan Kurasaki in nineteen 477 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: seventy five, so Ryan is very much a name for today. 478 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: So no major league player that I could find with 479 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 3: the first name Ryan played before nineteen seventy five, and 480 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: then after Kurasaki, the next one was in nineteen ninety one, 481 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: so there have been very few Ryan's until like the 482 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 3: nineteen nineties with a first name like that, which is odd. 483 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: So I got a kick out of this, Jeff. In 484 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: twenty eleven, the same Rockies had three pitchers on their 485 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 3: team named Matt with a first name Matt. It was 486 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: Matt Linstrom, Matt Reynolds, and Matt Blile and all three 487 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 3: of them pitched in order in a major league game. 488 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: How about that? Wow, So one Matt replaced another Matt, 489 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 3: who replaced another Matt. 490 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: That's impressive. 491 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: Now did you hear about the legal fallout of Ryan Knight. No, 492 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: supposedly Ryan Sandberg showed up, but they said no, no, no, close, 493 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 2: but not the same turn around, so. 494 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: Right, And it bothers me, Jeff, when people call him 495 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 3: Ryan Sandberg, that's just completely botching his name. And by 496 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: the way, twenty eleven, same year that the Rockies used 497 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 3: three Mats, the Astros used three pitchers named Rodriguez in 498 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: the same game, in the same game. So it's the 499 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 3: first time since nineteen hundred that any team used three 500 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: pitchers with the same name in the same game. So, 501 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 3: as you know, Jeff, I love baseball names, and those 502 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 3: are just a few. So Jeff, Steve Sparks, our dear 503 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: friend who made us laugh so loud about two months 504 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 3: ago on the podcast, sent me a note the other day, 505 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: and again, Jeff, people are helping out with the quirk 506 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: chins like this week. Even though I was all over 507 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff, I didn't see this. But 508 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: jose Altuvey struck out his first four times to the 509 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 3: plate this was Friday night, and then the fifth time 510 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: he was intentionally walked. Now just think about that for 511 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 3: a second, all right, But we had to go looking 512 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: for this. So I went to Frank at the Elias 513 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 3: and said, when is the last time anybody had ever 514 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: struck out his first four plate appearances and then in 515 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: his fifth plate appearance he was intentionally walked. And intentional 516 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: walks became official in nineteen fifty five. So Sam Hoff, 517 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 3: of all people, did in twenty twenty two for the Rangers, 518 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 3: and Jay in twenty ten for the Reds. So it's 519 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: only the third time since nineteen fifty five that anyone 520 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 3: has ever struck out in four consecutive plate appearances and 521 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 3: then been intentionally walked in the next roue. 522 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: I'm surprised it's happened at all before. 523 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I for out that odd, but you know, intentional 524 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 3: walks are done strategically. It's not necessary. I mean, Sam 525 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 3: Hoff wasn't a good enough hitter. Frankly, no offense attended 526 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: to be intentionally walked, but the situation calls for it sometimes. 527 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 3: And last of the quirk, jins Keik a Hernandez pitched 528 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 3: again the other day, Jeff. He has now pitched in 529 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: a victory for the Dodgers four times this year. Wow. 530 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 3: Which Usually a position player pitches when your team is 531 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 3: way behind, right, but when you're winning a game, it's 532 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 3: not often that you see a position player pitching. But 533 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 3: it's happening way more often these days as we try 534 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: to protect our pitchers, which we do a little bit 535 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 3: too much so in the last fifty years, the only 536 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 3: position player who's pitched in four victories or more in 537 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 3: one season is hands Or Alberto with the Rangers in 538 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. He pitched in eight victories that year. 539 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: I was really surprised. I remember it. I didn't know 540 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 3: he had pitched in eight And I repeat, there are 541 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 3: a lot of clever people out there who are looking 542 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 3: this stuff up, and it's really really impressive what people 543 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 3: are finding out there. It's making my job way harder 544 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: to come up with something that nobody else has, But 545 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: I love it. That people love the game enough to 546 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: be looking for odd things like this. 547 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: Coming up next on is this a great game? Or 548 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 2: what we've got on this state in baseball history? Another 549 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: team ten? And then a little bit of excitement surrounding 550 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: tomorrow's guest's coming up next, Welcome back to is this 551 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: a great game? Or what dad on this state in 552 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: baseball history? 553 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: What do he got? Just a couple for this week, Jeff. 554 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: On this date in nineteen seventy nine, Ricky Henderson made 555 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 3: his major league debut. He had a single, he had 556 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: a double, and he stole his first major league bass. 557 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: Of course, he went on to become the greatest bass 558 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 3: stealer of all time. He's the greatest leadoff hitter of 559 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: all time. He's one of the greatest left fielders of 560 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: all time, one of the fifteen greatest players for me, 561 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 3: at least of all time. And let's see if you 562 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: can remember the note that we came up that my 563 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: friend Craig Wright came up with about Ricky's leadoff walks. 564 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: Do you remember he walked to lead off an inning. 565 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: I'm going to be close on this, like seven hundred 566 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: and sixty two times, and Craig Wright looked up that 567 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: forty five percent of the Hall of Fame position players 568 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 3: didn't walk as many times in their career as Ricky 569 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 3: Henderson did leading off an inning. It's stunning, right, it's 570 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: an amazing note, right. 571 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: It is impressive, And he's the last guy you want 572 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: on the basse pas. 573 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 3: Right, And that's exactly he recognizes that. He recognized that also, Jeff. 574 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 3: And when he came up with runners on scoring position 575 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: runners on base, he's not up there thinking I gotta 576 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 3: get a walk here, I gotta drive these guys in, 577 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 3: because he was such a good hitter. But when he 578 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: leads off an inning, he's first thinking I just got 579 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 3: to get on base. I gotta get a walk here, 580 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: because anyway I can, I'm gonna steal second. I might 581 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: steal second and third. That's how great Ricky Henderson was 582 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 3: and the only other one, Jeff. Twenty twenty three, we 583 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 3: played the London Series between the Cubs and the Cardinals, 584 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: and poor pop Up got to go cover that for ESPN. 585 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: What a great trip that was to England. It was fantastic. 586 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: And my takeaway for that, Jeff, was just how interested 587 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: the Cubs players and the Cardinal players were about visiting 588 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: another country. They recognize this is a baseball game. The 589 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 3: game's count, we have to win, and they you know, 590 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: they really worked at it. But I was really impressed 591 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: with Miles Michaelis, for instance, Cardinal Pitcher, who went all 592 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: over England because he'd been there before, and he had 593 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 3: his wife with him. They went to all these really 594 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: cool places and he told me once, he said, he 595 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: told me there. He said, you know, I played in 596 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: Japan for several years, and he said, I can only 597 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 3: remember like a couple of games that I played in Japan, 598 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 3: he said, but what I'll never forget is what I 599 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 3: saw in Japan. You know, he went to concentration camps, 600 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: he went to Hiroshima, and it's just so it's just 601 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: so encouraging and refreshing when a baseball player goes there 602 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: and instead of thinking about baseball twenty four hours a day, 603 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 3: they think about other things. Do you find that interesting? 604 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's so important, and I think that's 605 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: dynes of a good manager to allow them to take 606 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: their mind off of the grueling season. I mean, when 607 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: these players travel, they get days off before and days 608 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: off after when they travel to you know, the London 609 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: Series for example, and it's one to bake in the 610 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: travel time of course, in the time of or the 611 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: change of time of time zones, but also to go explore. 612 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: So I think that's so special, so cool. 613 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: I'm Paul de Young, who was the Cardinals shortstop at 614 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 3: the time. He was a chemistry major in college and 615 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: at the batting cage in London. I'm sitting there talking 616 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: to him at the batting cage. We're talking about exactly 617 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: what we were talking about, all this cool stuff that 618 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 3: he saw in England and the shortstop for the Cardinals. 619 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 3: Paul Deong looked at me and said, isn't it amazing 620 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: how every great civilization is built on a river? And 621 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 3: I thought, oh my gosh, what a profound statement to bake. 622 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 3: And it was made by a guy in uniform at 623 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 3: the batting cage. I thought that was really cool. 624 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: Got to use those boats to get stuff somewhere, right, 625 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: all those years ago. 626 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: Totally agree. 627 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: Dad. 628 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: You people might not know this, but your mom, my grandmother, Nna, 629 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: was born in English. 630 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: She was from born Withouth, England. 631 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: She had a British accent and everything right, and yeah, 632 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 2: so every time I got to and I went to 633 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: England in twenty twenty four did the Phillies and the 634 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: Mets game. 635 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 3: So no, there was no London trip this year. I 636 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 3: felt a little sad because it would have got me 637 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 3: back to England. Yeah, my mother was. She wasn't a 638 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 3: great baseball fan because growing up in England they didn't 639 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 3: even play baseball. But she became a great baseball fan 640 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 3: in our house. And I've told you I'm going to 641 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: repeat this, Jeff. The only time I ever heard your 642 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 3: grandfather Pop even close to raise his voice at his 643 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 3: wife was when we were sit at the dinner table 644 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight and we just watched Bob Gibson pitch 645 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 3: in the World Series. And my mom, God bless her, 646 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 3: she's the great. She said, you know, the cricket bowlers, 647 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 3: I'm sure throw harder than the baseball pitchers do, to 648 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 3: which your grandfather Pop looked at your grandmother Nedda and said, Joy, 649 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 3: nobody throws harder than Bob Gibson. Do you understand that 650 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 3: no cricket bowler throws harder than Bob Gibson? 651 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: Great on this state and baseball history. Dad, let's go. 652 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: You have a team, Tim, Now, I really thought you 653 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: were gonna do the all Ryan team because of the 654 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 2: Ryan Knight. 655 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 3: Right, Alex Fuse we call him the fuse Box, who 656 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: works at ESPN, said Tim, you've got to do the 657 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 3: All Ryan team out of this, and I chose. I 658 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 3: chose not to. It would have been easy. There are 659 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 3: a million Ryans, Ryan Zimmerman, Ryan Howard, Ryan Brown. It 660 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 3: would have been easy.
