00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: on my face. So that's it. It's just a guy

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: that puts a smile on my face.

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319

00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: told you to enjoy every single second, every second of it, even.

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: The bad borns. And yet here you are complaining how

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: not the one that's causing my stresses at the moment.

43
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,279
Speaker 6: It's my firstborn.

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, well you're not enjoying all the moments

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 6: It's not that I'm not enjoying them, It's just that.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: Things are very busy, I would say, And like my

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 5: daughter is going to be starting pre K two now,

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: and there's lots of activities that are involved with that,

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: and like she's going to a school that has like

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 5: a big community around it, and like there's lots of

52
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 5: things that go into that. And football season also is

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 5: a big time commitment just because of God Bless. And

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 5: were we supposed to Like I kind of mentioned it

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 5: on the show yesterday, just like in passing and I

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: don't know if I was allowed to or not, but

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 5: like we're going to be doing twice a week now

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: for God Bless. We're going to be doing a reactionary Monday,

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: which I think will be like fun and I'm trying

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 5: to do everything I can to get callers involved and

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: have that implemented and installed in the studio and just

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: you know, general fun and have Monday be different than

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: the Friday episode. Not that the Friday episode isn't fun,

64
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: That's not what I'm trying to say, but just have

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: Monday be its own thing and Friday be its own thing,

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: and you know, kind of recap in preview every week

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: and have a little bit of fun during football season,

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,480

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: Bless football, you know we're going to turn up the

70
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: fun during football season.

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: We're going to turn up the fun. I mean, I

72
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: feel like we're really fun on that show. I don't

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: know how you turn your kids into a thing about

74
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: God Bless football, but God Bless you man.

75
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying like, maybe there won't just be

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: a random golfer on God Bless Football during the football season,

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 7: I feel like we just experienced a whole Billy Gil

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 7: train of thought, like that way.

80
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: Today he went on a journey.

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: You notice your Well, so I because this is what's happening,

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: is that I'm looking I bought a calendar, right and

83
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: everybody on Earth now just uses like a Google calendar

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 5: or whatever. It helps me to write things down. So

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: I have a calendar, and I have a planner, and

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: then I have the calendar on my phone as well,

87
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 5: so I can check that. But when I'm sitting at

88
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: my desk, I have a calendar and I'm just looking

89
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: at every week. And I bought all different color pens

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 5: and I have like color coded systems.

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to take it off the wall.

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 6: I have a belt rode to the wall.

93
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: I have every day a bunch of things in different colors.

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 5: And it's not to say that I'm like busier than

95
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: any of you are, but it's just hitting me how

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 5: busy all of this becomes right because you start factoring

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 5: in two kids now, and this one as a doctor's appointment,

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: and that one has something, you know what I mean.

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to figure out how do we make

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: football season as smooth who is possible for all of us?

101
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Right, Mikey, I don't know how he turned a question

103
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: about parenting and his kids into a calendar and different

104
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: polers and writing things down and we're cranking up the

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: fun on God bless football.

106
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 6: I mean, the show was fun, I know, but it's

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: you know.

108
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: Right, I got you? You know right? You want smooth sailing? Right?

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 5: I have on my calendar a hun day appointment really

110
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 5: two weeks from now? Yeah, there's a recall on my car.

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: All right? Well, I love a good.

112
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 6: Recall, by the way, on a car.

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 5: You know you like that because you take it in

114
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: and it's like you just get anew whatever it is,

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 5: and it's usually free of charge, and I'm kind of

116
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 5: hoping maybe there's like a secondary recall my car right now,

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: not that anyone's asking. My car is a twenty thirteen

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: Hyundai Sonata, right and about I own it. So my

119
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: sister leased it and after the three years she went

120
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: to turn it in. I'm like, I'm going to take

121
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 5: over that car, like I would like to buy that car.

122
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 6: So we bought the car. So it's paid off, which

123
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 6: is like great.

124
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: Like two months after it got paid off, the engine

125
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 5: died like something happened, and I took it to a

126
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 5: Sears Auto center which doesn't exist anymore, and they're like,

127
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 5: you need a new engine, and I'm like, that's not good.

128
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: I just paid off this car, Like what am I

129
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 5: going to do? And then there was a recall and

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 5: I got.

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 6: A new engine for free in my car.

132
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: So now it's like I have this car that's ten

133
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 5: years old, but really the engine life on it is

134
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 5: like four years old, and I'm going to be driving

135
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: that baby into the ground. I'm telling you, I will

136
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 5: be driving a twenty thirteen a Hundai Sonata until my

137
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: daughters graduate from the school that they're going to start

138
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 5: soon because I'm not going to take on another car payment.

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 6: It's just not happening.

140
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: You still didn't answer my question.

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 7: Well, it's going to be fun.

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter somehow, Football's fun. You love a recall.

143
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: You got a new engine, the Ronse. You have an appointment.

144
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: I have an appointment with Ronsey the Penguin right now.

145
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: Ron say, you are a name and a face. By

146
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: the way, it's great to see you. That makes me

147
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: smile because you bring me back to a better place.

148
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: You bring me back to.

149
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: My childhood in the eighties, growing up when I love baseball.

150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: I don't love it as much as I used to,

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: But you were one of those people that just puts

152
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: a smile on my face the second I hear your

153
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: name or see your name.

154
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: Do you get that a lot?

155
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's very kind of you to say. I suppose

156
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: that you know that has to do probably something with

157
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: the nickname and the success and possibly the way I

158
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: played the game. So thank you.

159
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: He has a new book, app Penguin Power, Dodger Blue,

160
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: Hollywood Lights and a one in a million Big League Journey.

161
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: Why do you decide to write the book? Robbisides money, of.

162
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: Course, well, actually it's not so much about that. It

163
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: was a matter of me kind of breaking down a

164
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: lot of walls over a period of years after I

165
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: retired from baseball when I was around four, and you know,

166
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: I stepped aside a little bit, Uh, played a little

167
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: mister mom for a while, went back to work for

168
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers at the request of Peter O'Malley, and spent

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: all the last year and a half over there doing

170
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: multiple things. But I wasn't sure I had a story

171
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: to tell or that somebody would want to listen. But

172
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: I had a lot of people who were kind of

173
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: prodding me over a period of time, and uh just

174
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: got to a point where I started, you know, knocking

175
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: some of these walls down, and I realized that, you know,

176
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: I did have a story to tell, and uh why not.

177
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Uh it became interesting, you know. And I also had

178
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: to get over the fact that, you know, all you

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: have to do is google me, and you find out

180
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: a whole lot of stuff. And I wasn't sure I

181
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 2: wanted to open up that other side in a book. Uh,

182
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: But I was able to get it to a point

183
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: where I decided to move forward. And I'm also doing

184
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: a podcast now that I've been doing for the past

185
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: eight months called We'll see about that on CRN Talk Radio.

186
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: And we also have Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Roku, and Google,

187
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: and so at seventy five, I've I'm an uncharted territory

188
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: with the book and and the podcast, so you know,

189
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm kind of I'm having fun, not necessarily from the

190
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: business side of things, but I'm having fun doing the interviews,

191
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: and I was happy that I was able to tell

192
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: a story.

193
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: Writing is hard. Did you you enjoyed that process? Huh?

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: Well. I had a ghost writer who came in on

195
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: the second part of this game, Ken Gernet, who was

196
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: a beat writer for the Dodgers back when I was playing,

197
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: and as an accomplished journalist has written books before, was

198
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: a writer for the Dodgers I think online, has a

199
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: very good background of history and tradition, so he was

200
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: the person that helped me reorganize after the first one

201
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: fell apart. We did twenty hours assume during the pandemic.

202
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: I had a pre existing condition with my ghostwriter, and

203
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: it was cancer, and I was not aware of it.

204
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: So we got down near the end and we started

205
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: looking at the transcript and didn't continue it was not

206
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: done as well, so I had to start over, and

207
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: Kenny was the right person to put into paper with it.

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: What were some of the things you said?

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: You google your name, and there are things on the

210
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: internet that were annoying.

211
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: To you that you see a whole different side.

212
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: Not necessarily annoying. Not necessarily annoying. No, not in that case,

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: anything upset you, I pissed you off or oh, you know,

214
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you know, I think I'm above board

215
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: on the love hate relationship, whatever it is. But it

216
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: was just a matter of the amount of information that

217
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: was out there at you know, page after page after page,

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: you know, and I didn't realize it until, you know,

219
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: I started to take a look at it. But you know,

220
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to, you know, uh, be my own person,

221
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: you know, do my own thing. I wasn't really too

222
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: worried about, you know, how I was going to do

223
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: all of this. I just felt that there was a

224
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: part of me that I didn't want to expose. And uh,

225
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: there still is a part of me. I'd been exposed.

226
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: So there are things in the book that are there

227
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: because of a purpose, and I did leave some things out,

228
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 2: but you know, that's for obvious production reasons.

229
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: Do you have a great Tommy lessorda story for us?

230
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: Run most of the ones I can't tell you that.

231
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: You know the one that you can tell us well.

232
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Tommy was you know a it's more

233
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: of a combination. Jeff, understand that when we first came

234
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: in to the organization, meaning the nucleus of players that

235
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: were in the most successful infield the major leagu history

236
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 2: of Garvey Looks, Russell and myself were all homegrown guys.

237
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: We all came in within a year or two apart.

238
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: And so Tommy nurtured these guys. He understood who those

239
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: players were going to be. We spent a great deal

240
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: of time with him. I remember in an instruction league

241
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: which is now the Arizona Fall League, way back when

242
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: that Tom Losora would take Billy Buckner and I out

243
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: to dinner at Sir George's. And back then, Sir Georges was,

244
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, like a family Smorgasbord restaurant and had all

245
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: the teckered board tables, and you know, it's like three

246
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: dollars and fifty cents a person. So you know, moth

247
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: Balls flew out of his wallet when he did. But

248
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: I never went to a dinner outside of Sir George,

249
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: they ever paid for Billy.

250
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're kind of place. I mean, I

251
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: love it.

252
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 6: I love what we're talking about.

253
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: I want to get to Colombo. Mikey, Hey, do you

254
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: have your Columbo questions ready? You've been waiting for this

255
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: all day, So here you go.

256
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: Here's your chance. That taught to ron Zay about Colombo.

257
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 7: Honestly, I just want to know what it was like.

258
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 8: I mean, you got to google you and you find

259
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 8: out a bunch of things, and the first thing I

260
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 8: saw was he was on Columbo.

261
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 7: My mother loved that show. I remember watching it with her.

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: What was that like?

263
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it goes back about thirty six thirty seven

264
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: years now, I guess. And I'm still collecting my forty

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: five cent residuals on that on a regular basis. I

266
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: think I've accumulated probably twenty bucks over the course of

267
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: that time. But it was a great time. I had

268
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: an opportunity to do it as there was a friend

269
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: of mine who was a director at the studios there

270
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: at Universal, and he hooked up with Fault and there

271
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: was a two hour segment and I was in both

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: the first hour and the second hour, and in between

273
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: time Peter would take me around and show me the

274
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: sets and we go to his trailer and hang around,

275
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: and he was just great. I had a really terrific

276
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: experience with him. It was a lot of fun. I

277
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: have a greater appreciation for the detail that goes into

278
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: making those things because I think in the card Game,

279
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: we had like maybe six or seven people in it,

280
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: and they had to do individuals for each scene, so

281
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: it was forever monotonous, but you know, and repetitive, but

282
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: really an incredible piece of work with together. Peters was

283
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: terrific and I looked back at those at a very

284
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: fun time.

285
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 7: Did you get one more thing?

286
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

287
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 7: One more thing? And then then he asked you the

288
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 7: one more question that broke it up.

289
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: In you know, he he just had a persona about it,

290
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, and he was It's just a lot of

291
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: fun to be around. I can see why they had

292
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: a good time with that show.

293
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: Ron.

294
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you played for the best infield

295
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: of all time? Because that infield was great.

296
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: I like to take it down just a notch. I

297
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: think it's fair because it's valid and it's factual. It

298
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: is the most successful infield and major history because nobody

299
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: else came close to what we were doing. There may

300
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: have been an infield that for one season, maybe two,

301
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: that accomplished a great deal, but when you look at

302
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: eight and a half years together, the number of games

303
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: we won, every member of the infield was a multiple

304
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: time all star, four World Series of World championship, were

305
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: the nucleus of the team for ten years. You can't

306
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: touch it, and so more successful, most successful sets better

307
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: with me than claiming the top spot that I would

308
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: have to say that you know we're in the mix

309
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: of that too.

310
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 6: Ron You obviously have retired from Major League baseball.

311
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: You haven't appeared on screen in some time as an actor,

312
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 5: But would you say you're retired from acting as well,

313
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: or do you want to.

314
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: Make I have have I have been in a movie,

315
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: I have done television. I have written a book, I

316
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: have a podcast, I have I've recorded a baseball dingle

317
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: back in nineteen seventy six.

318
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 6: Come again a song? You wrote a song?

319
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, google it, you'll find it. Billy one game

320
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: at a time and playing the third base bag. And

321
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: it was supposed to be in fun, but of course

322
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: some people said you ought to stick to your night job.

323
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Mike.

324
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, your conditioned to hate Dodgers because you're a Yankee fan,

325
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: but you find yourself liking Ron.

326
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: Say, don't you.

327
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 7: That's like ten years before my time.

328
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. He took four I mean, he took

329
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 4: four World Series from the Yankees.

330
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 7: What's the matter with you?

331
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: No, you know the Yankees actually took one from us

332
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight. YEA pains me to speak about even today.

333
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: It's the most painful loss I had in my career,

334
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: and I wish we had had instant replay back then.

335
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: Ron do like we talked to David Wells recently on

336
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: the show, he doesn't watch baseball.

337
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: He doesn't like today's baseball. Do you like baseball?

338
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: I like baseball, but I don't watch much baseball. I've

339
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: kind of been the same category that you guys might be.

340
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: The game has changed too much for me. I think

341
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of manipulation the game that you know,

342
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: my fan base grew up with, loving the strategy, knowing

343
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: how the games played, what to expect, anticipate, the names

344
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: of the players doesn't exist anymore. You know, guys are

345
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: trading places, you know, regularly you just saw Erlander and

346
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: Sure's or go to the Mets last winter, and now

347
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: they're both with different teams chasing, you know, a world

348
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: championship for somebody in the moment, and it's an easy

349
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: way to pick up a World Series ring. I guess,

350
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 2: but I don't know. The game that we played back

351
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: then just doesn't exist anymore. It's a striking out home

352
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 2: run game. By changing the size of the bases, they

353
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: invited old school baseball back in for this year because

354
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: they weren't attempting many stolen bases anymore. And now because

355
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: of this base that was you're out, now you're safe,

356
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: being a game of inches. That's all it took for

357
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: some of these people who run the show to decide

358
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: that we're going to go back and pelvin old school

359
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: baseball and basis.

360
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: There's too many stats now, too right, we're ruining base

361
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 5: o with there. How about home runs RBIs and you

362
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 5: know batting average, We're good with that, right Ron.

363
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm all for the statistical breakdown, the metrics,

364
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: but it's a matter of how you use it. Okay,

365
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: the information is valuable, it's a matter of how you

366
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: use it. I don't want it to be something that

367
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: is mandatory, and that is one of the things that

368
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: I felt was an issue when they had the switch

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: in here. You know, the everybody would ship to the

370
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: other side of the field, primarily for left hand hitters,

371
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: and I had a hard time trying to justify that

372
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: to myself and a lot of the other metrics that

373
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: go along with you know, you get a guy to

374
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: face left handed pitching and he's over twenty five against

375
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: this one left handed pitcher, but he's playing today because

376
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: he's due. Okay, not because he can't hit the guy,

377
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: but because he's due. And so you know it. It

378
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: talks out of both sides of their mouth and I

379
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: and I have trouble with that. I have trouble with

380
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: the open game because I think it's nothing more than

381
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: a glamorized exhibition game. And they all these games count,

382
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, they all count. And you've seen through the

383
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: alignment with you know, postseason play and you get the

384
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: wildcard teams that you know, you are now seeing this

385
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: thing come down to you know, last day a lot

386
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: of times, and it's pretty exciting. And that's the smart

387
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: part about baseball. You know, beforehand, you know, we were

388
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: losing our fan base before September because so many teams

389
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: are out of the race and now they've turned ourselves

390
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: to football. And now when you have more teams buying

391
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: for that wildcard spot, you keep your your fans invested

392
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: in the game through September. So that part is good,

393
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: you know. I don't really want it to expand to

394
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: be any more than that, because I don't want it

395
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: to look like football and basketball.

396
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 5: It's Bill James, though, I mean, he's too far. Every

397
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 5: every week it's a new statistic with him that he

398
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: just kind of makes up, and it's just enough. The

399
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 5: nerves of taking over the game, it's too much.

400
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: I agree that there's too much of it out there

401
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: because you can paralyze yourself by overanalyzing things. And it's

402
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: hard for me to come to terms with a lot

403
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: of this because it has to be simple. You know,

404
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: you can go look at the tapes. We didn't have

405
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: much of that going on when I was playing. It

406
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: was more about feel and you get into a place where,

407
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're thinking too much of the plate

408
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: when you're in the box, you're going to get paralyzed.

409
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: You know, go with your spread too cute.

410
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: I mean, how about just try it out, say Russell

411
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: Garvey and lobes every single day for ten years.

412
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: That's what you do, right Ron.

413
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 2: Well, you know it worked, and it would have been

414
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: a very difficult thing to enforce, I think with a

415
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: group of guys that I played with, and we had

416
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: Dusty Baker, Brick Monday, and Reggie Smith in the outfield.

417
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine what what Losorda's line in front

418
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: of his door would have been if one of those

419
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: guys wouldn't have been playing, because he would have been

420
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: knocking on it saying, who's better than I am? That's

421
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: playing today?

422
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: I had been told stories of Steve Garvey, who was

423
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 4: like a playboy back in the eighties.

424
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: Okay, like everyone loved Garvy. But I was told that

425
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: that Garvey would hit on women during the game. Is

426
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: that accurate?

427
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Rod, I have no idea. He was on the other

428
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: side of the enfield.

429
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever he was doing happened on that side. Stays

430
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: on that side.

431
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: Is saying that's correct.

432
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, But he was a good looking son of a bitch,

433
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: wasn't a Apparently he was, and he wasn't shy about

434
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: telling you.

435
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: That he Well, yeah, let's you know we should move on.

436
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, Rod saying is with us. Check

437
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 3: out his new book book It is out right now.

438
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 4: Also it was a podcast as well, Penguin Power, Dodger Blue,

439
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 4: Hollywood Lights at a.

440
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: One in a million Big League Journey? Why is your

441
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: journey one in a million? Run?

442
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: Because my father in law quoted was quoted by my

443
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: wife by saying, what are you doing hanging out with

444
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: this guy? These guys one in a million makes it?

445
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: And so that's kind of where that came from. And

446
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: the story to that is that we had a very

447
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: short time together before we decided to get married, and

448
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: I had gotten called up my first call up to

449
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: the big leagues the week before we were supposed to

450
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: be getting married in Chicago at the Drake Hotel, and

451
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: I hadn't even met the parents. And here I am,

452
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: and her conversation with her father says, Hey, listen, he's

453
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: not in the major leagues, yet I believe in him.

454
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 2: I know he's going to accomplish this goal that he's

455
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: had since a kid. He says, yeah, but he says,

456
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: these guys all have that same goal, and there's only

457
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: one in a million that ever make it. So that's

458
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: kind of how that got stuck in there.

459
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Ron, you had that last laugh, right, I

460
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: mean you did.

461
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah. I mean look when you when when you

462
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: each year, you know, you have the June draft, and

463
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, ninety percent of these guys ninety seven percent

464
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: at least years ago, that was the percentage marker that

465
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: get drafted. Who are the krem and the krame kremin

466
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: la crime of the moment the year? Don't make it?

467
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: Don't make it right, you know, I mean, so you're

468
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: going in with you know, like incredible odds surrounded against you,

469
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: and uh, you know the incredible thing is that, you know,

470
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: the year that I was drafted by the Daughters in

471
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight is herald is the greatest freegent draft

472
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: in major league history. Produced eleven major league players out

473
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: of that draft. Can you imagine that? I mean, that

474
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: breaks every record you could possibly imagine that happened. And

475
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: not only was I the highest war ranked player in

476
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: that group that we had, I was the highest ranked

477
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: player in the entire nineteen sixty eight draft of war.

478
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: So that gave me a lot of a lot of

479
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: pleasure saying that.

480
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 8: Ron, you're kind of an old school guy, and I

481
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 8: love it. So I got to ask you this for

482
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 8: our friend Billy Gil. How do you feel about someone

483
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 8: taking three weeks paternity leave? You think that's too much

484
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 8: or what's the right amount to take the oporternity?

485
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: Well, we didn't have those clauses in our contract back. Yeah,

486
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: so I don't know how they would work. I guess

487
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: depends on who you are in this game, but I

488
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: think three weeks would be a little bit much.

489
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

490
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: I have a bigger problem with the guys that get

491
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: hurt in April and then they tell you they're going

492
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: to be back and after the All Star break. I

493
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: want to know what else happened to them in between times?

494
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: Right back on the field, right right, let's go.

495
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: I mean we didn't have that luxury, uh, owner only

496
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: winners move forward. We had Nationally East, Nationally West, exactly

497
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: one winner move forward, best of five, go to the

498
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: World Series. Uh that first first game of the best

499
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: of five and n LCS uh is a bear. I mean,

500
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: you better get that under your belt because, uh, you

501
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: don't have seven game. Seven games is different. Five is crucial.

502
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 5: Back then you know you feel pain, you just play

503
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 5: through it and then you deal with it in the

504
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 5: offseason and it's Tommy John in the middle throw with

505
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 5: the other arm.

506
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

507
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, I uh, Like I said, we had

508
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys. You check the once again. If

509
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: you have any issues with what I've had to say,

510
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: please fact check them and go and take a look

511
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: at for infielders and the number of games they played

512
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: while we were well, we were in that eight and

513
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: a half year stretch. I mean, everybody was playing one

514
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty games.

515
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you should change the name of your podcast

516
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: to Final Say. You know what I'm saying.

517
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: I like it. Not bad?

518
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, not bad. I mean I listen, we'll have you

519
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: on all the time. You'll have the final say on everything.

520
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: If you liked well, I don't know if I I mean,

521
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: I would be at a stretch around here. My wife

522
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: usually gets the final say on most of that stuff.

523
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: Have you married for fifty years? I know how it works.

524
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: Fifty years with congratulations.

525
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: Manh yeah yeah. I actually it will be fifty years

526
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 2: that I've lived in my home in Woodland Hills, California,

527
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: coming September. So longevity is good to me.

528
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: For those what's the key to a to a long,

529
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: great marriage.

530
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am. When she's happy, I'm happy, trust.

531
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: Me, that is great. Do you enjoy the podcasting run?

532
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: I do? As I mentioned earlier, you know the business

533
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: side of it is really slow. I was on Jim

534
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: Rome show here last week and we had touch base

535
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: on you know, his beginning too, and I and I

536
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: said to him, I said, you probably have some stories

537
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: to tell about you know how rough it goes for

538
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: your first year. You know, it's a it's a very

539
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: slow business and hard to hard to get people to

540
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: get things done on time. So I enjoyed doing the interviews. Uh,

541
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: it's great interviews. I'm having Ashley fred Clair on the

542
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: former general manager of the Dodgers this week. A few

543
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: weeks ago, I had Billy Jean King after she came

544
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: back from the Paris Open in France, and so it

545
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: was fun, you know, and she's a she's a minority

546
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: owner too with the Dodgers. I no longer work for.

547
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: Right rod Jay is with us before we let you go,

548
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: and we appreciate it. I am wondering, do you have

549
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 4: a mount rushmore of la Dodgers? Who would your Who

550
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 4: are the four people that represent the Dodgers the best.

551
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: Oh my well, Walter O'Malley number one. He was the

552
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: one who had the insight to uh bring the Dodgers

553
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: west from Brooklyn and bring the San Francisco Giants with

554
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: him expand baseball. So that was a major coup back then.

555
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson, Uh, you know, he is part of our

556
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: fifty fifty year group that is extremely elite. You know,

557
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: he opened the doors for some many people. They've retired

558
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: his number for the entire sport. In Scully's career lasted

559
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: sixty six years, so there's another one that's over fifty years.

560
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: And actually, you know, we had we just had our

561
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary for the infield. So we're in a very

562
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: small league group. I don't think that we're in that

563
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: group though. However, I would also put I put Cofax

564
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: really in there too. Yeah, I you know, Tommy, Tommy

565
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: is a baseball icon. He was an ambassador for so

566
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: many years. We can put him in there with a

567
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: tie with Kofax if it's top four, if not top five.

568
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: But look, there's plenty of people who are deserving of

569
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: consideration here.

570
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: But Manny.

571
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Manny, Manny Ramirez.

572
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 6: I mean the modern one.

573
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: Possibly you went to many before Kirk Gibson.

574
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, oh yeah, yeah, Well, I mean, look, that's

575
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: a moment. All due respect to Gibbey, I mean he

576
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: was here for a little bit over a year.

577
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 6: A cup of coffee.

578
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had he had a moment that is recognized

579
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: as the greatest single moment in Dodger history. But outside

580
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: of that, does he qualify to be on our all

581
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: time team?

582
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: No?

583
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. If anybody can play one year expect

584
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: to accumulate enough to be able to be in that stat.

585
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: This is why you have the final say. I'm telling you,

586
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: I am willing.

587
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: I am listen, Ron, if you want to rename the

00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: we go.

Speaker 3: what you're saying?

601
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: I said, the all time Dodger team.

604
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: LA Dodgers all time team is yeah, well Darby Oaks,

605
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Will's myself. Okay, that's how it breaks down. Uh, all

606
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: those guys are Hall of famers. Okay, you can't put

607
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: somebody in there that's not a Hall of Famer. Okay,

608

Speaker 2: you can't do that. Yes, go ahead, take you.

609
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 7: Take you out of it. Who's yeah, was playing third

610
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 7: base on that all time team?

611
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: Take me out of it.

612
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 7: You're You're out.

613
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: You don't get the you don't care for Mikey.

614
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 6: Why would he take him out?

615
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 7: Because I want to see who he thinks his next best.

616
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 7: That's really what I's on his team.

617
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: And well the actual team, I mean you see, you know, I.

618
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Mean, look, this is this has to be done while

619
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: you're a Dodger. Okay, It's not done while you were

620
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: a met like Piazza was. This is done for your

621
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: time as a Dodger. You know in my opinion, Adrian

622
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: Beltrey is going to be a Hall of Fame third

623
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: basement when his time comes around. You know, he had

624
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: an an incredible run in in in Boston and Texas

625
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: in particular. I mean, he was extremely strong down the stretch.

626
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: He didn't have that kind of uh start with the

627
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers and then he went to uh the Mariners for

628
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: a while, and you know, I thought he was very

629
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: uncomfortable up there. It seems he had a first good

630
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: month and a first bad month, a first first and

631
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: last good month, and the rest in between was kind

632
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: of mixed. But overhaul, you know what he has done,

633
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: he is deserving. I mean, he's a top ten all

634
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: time third basement in my he did that much. And

635
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: as far as the rest of them, they weren't here

636
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: long enough to do anything. I don't even know who

637
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: would come after that. You know, Dustin Turner had a

638
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: nice run while he was here, but he's really not

639
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: that kind of a player.

640
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we need to fill out the outfield. Is

641
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 3: that okay?

642
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: Well you have you have Snyder in center field right.

643
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: Oh god, there was a guy I can't remember his

644
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 2: name off I played back in the nineteen twenties or

645
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty as a camera who was right now? And

646
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: I should know because I know that much about it.

647
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: Who would who would you know? Uh, Carl Ferrillo comes

648
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 2: to mind.

649
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 3: Gil Gil Hodges was first base.

650
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: Right correct? Yeah? Yeah, first base? Yeah?

651
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: And uh, you said Duke Snyder. I was thinking of.

652
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: Guerrero. Yeah, he wasn't here long enough. I don't think,

653
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: like I said, Pedro had some really good years. I mean,

654
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: he had some really good years here, no question about it.

655
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: Uh.

656
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: Uh. He did really well with the Cardinals too. I

657
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: think that's when he kind of peaked. If I'm not mistaken, Uh,

658
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: he would be in the mix. But you know, when

659
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: you look at Dusty and Reggie, uh, you know, they

660
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: were really good players for us. But Matt camp was

661
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: very good.

662
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: Uh.

663
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: Andre Ethier, Oh yeah, you know, he had a really

664
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: strong career as a Dodger, and that would that would

665
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: put him, uh in the mix as well. I would

666
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: have to look at that a little bit more thoroughly.

667
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, all those guys in there, you know, there's

668
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: you know, Mookie Bets right now. Uh certainly, Uh, you

669
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: know he's most likely going to fit in rather well

670
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: when his career is done there. I mean, if he's

671
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: going to play the entire contract out, you know he's

672
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: going to have statistics that will to push him up

673
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: at number one. Who knows the rest of it, You know,

674
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: I would have to analyze it a little bit more.

675
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: But darnn, I can't remember that guy's name. That was, Yeah,

676
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: was good. Willie Crawford was was an in between kind

677
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: of player. Will will he You know, he'd hit ten

678
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: home runs, he hit two ninety to eighty five, driving

679
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: sixty runs. And you know it's a little of this

680
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: and a little of that. Uh rev though, yes, reliable

681
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: and uh extremely talented uh athletes. Uh could have played football,

682
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 2: could have played baseball. Uh he and Willie Davis. Willie

683
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: Davis is also, by the way, Willie Davis is the

684
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: highest ranked position player in Los Angeles Dodger history. You

685
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: know that by war. And I'm number two and I'm

686
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: the number one infielder and he's the number one outfielder.

687
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: Were you asking me about Willie Keeler? Is that who

688
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: we were thinking of?

689
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I just wee there you go exactly exactly.

690
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 2: Zach we is a Hall of Famer and and yes

691
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 2: he would be in the outfield.

692
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 3: How about mom to see of Sean Green.

693
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: Huh Sean Green. Sean Green, I had on my podcast

694
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: we relived that day that he hit four home runs

695
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 2: and just said, probably the greatest day in Dodger history. Uh,

696
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: what an amazing day that was.

697
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

698
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: You know, Mondesy certainly made a mark. He was a

699
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 2: terrific player. I think he was also the second group,

700
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: in the second group that the Dodgers had that had

701
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: four guys who had thirty home runs in one one year,

702
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: and I think that was Montessee's zeal Carrolson Piazza, I'm

703
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: not mistaken. And montesssee, you know, eventually got himself in

704
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 2: hot water going back to Dominican and so that hasn't

705
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: fared too well with him. But yeah, Sean Green, Sean

706
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: Green hit forty forty nine home runs that year, I

707
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 2: think it was. And you know, he's he's another player

708
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: that you know, is kind of stuck in between. You

709
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: don't have really a team that you played long enough

710
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: that you can be identified with, you know, for something

711
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: like that. As a matter of fact, going back to Paltre,

712
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: he he told me that he was going to hang

713
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: his hat in Dexas when he when he takes the

714
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: takes the Hall of Fame.

715
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:12,879
