Speaker 1: of Famer Tim kirkchen I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshon, and dad,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: I love your quarter zip today. That was something I

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: bought to you when we were at Little League World Series.

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: That's a pretty cool jacket. I just got to start

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: by saying that I feel like I comment on what

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: you're wearing in most podcasts to begin.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is really cool and it's really warm

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: because and it's getting a little cool and when they

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: are conditioning in the house, it makes it even cooler.

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: You know how cold I get. This was totally unnecessary

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: to buy old pop pop something else, but it's great,

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: So thanks very much, Jeff.

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Well, number one thing, if you're ever buying anything and

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: your dad is Tim Kirkchhon, it has to be warm.

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't care what month it is, what style it is,

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: if it's a summerwear or winterwear, make it warm.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: That's all he wants in life.

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: Have to be a circulatory issue. I'm sure of it.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: There's no reason to be this cold all the time.

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: But that it's okay. Now, Jeff, what do you have

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: coming up?

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,520

00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: forty the other day. That's so fitting. How bad was that?

Speaker 2: How bad was that?

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,920

61
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: for eating too much. I didn't know it was designed

62
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: just for Emily.

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: Now it was.

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: It was less that it was designed just for Emily.

65
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: It was more that now Emily doesn't have two days

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: of lunches more than one day of the Okay, I.

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Made a mistake and I apologized. Okay, you yelled at

68
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Emily and yelled at you for yelling at me.

69
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Did I said, Dad, only what you ate too? It

70
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: was too lately. Shouldn't have said anything to your dad.

71
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: God knows, he's helped us out along the way in life,

72
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: and he's the best, and he's pop up.

73
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: So you can eat as many lunches as you want.

74
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: I just can't eat any today, which is just a

75
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: lesson on colonoscopies. Okay, the ninth four is way worse

76
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: than the procedure. The procedure is a piece of cake.

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna knock you out. You're gonna wake up, you're

78
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: gonna think it's not even They haven't even started yet,

79
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: and as it turned out, they're finished. So it's gonna

80
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: be fine. They're not gonna find anything, and you're gonna

81
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: be great.

82
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: Okay, let's hope for good news. That's all we can

83
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: pray for.

84
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: Dad.

85
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I know you've been freaking out about the Oriole game

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: from the other night, right.

87
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, let me explain the Oriole game the other night.

88
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: So the Orioles are down three to nothing to the

89
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Yoshi Yamamoto has no hitter going with two

90
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: outs in the ninth inning, Down three to nothing, they're

91
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: one out a way from losing the game and one

92
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: out away from being no hit. Okay, So Jackson Holiday

93
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: hits a home run and they come back to win

94
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: four to three. So we went to Frankett, the Elia's

95
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: first team since nineteen sixty one. That's as far back

96
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: as we can accurately go to be one out away

97
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: from losing the game and one out away from a

98
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: no hitter. And come back to win the game. And

99
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: so it's one of the greatest comebacks in Major League history.

100
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: And of course, Jeff, it came on the same night

101
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: that we celebrated cal Ripkins two, one three one. It

102
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: was the thirty year anniversary. I wrote a really long

103
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: story for ESPN dot com to prepare everyone for what

104
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: Saturday night would be like, going back thirty years to

105
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. That amazing night. Also on September sixth

106
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: in Baltimore at Camden Yards, same date, Eddie Murray hit

107
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: his five hundred home run. So it was quite It's

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: quite a night that night in cause, and I swear Jeff,

109
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 2: twenty thirty close friends of mine, thirty friends of mine

110
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: went to that game, and they all chimed in, like,

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're watching this. I almost saw no hitter.

112
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: It was the greatest comeback I've ever seen, most exciting

113
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: game I've ever seen. This is why baseball is so beautiful.

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: And then I went to church the next morning. Jeff

115
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: and half a dozen people at church had been to

116
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: the game. And get this, I didn't even get to

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: watch it on TV because where was I.

118
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Well, you were watching two grandchildren because Kelly, your daughter,

119
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: and your son in law Mark were at a wedding

120
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, so you were busy watching them.

121
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: You were full on pop pop right.

122
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: And Kat, Kat and I took care of the kids

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: for the weekend. It was so good. It was so

124
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: much fun.

125
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: Eight four and two.

126
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: They run your ragged, but we had the best time.

127
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: But they were both asleep, Jeff at the time that

128
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: Jackson Holiday hit the home run, I had a moment

129
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: to go watch the game on TV, but of course

130
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: I couldn't.

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: Would you explain, please, you couldn't watch it on your TV?

132
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: Why?

133
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh, because you were at Kelly and Mark's house. Would

134
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: you explain, as a young person why I couldn't. Why

135
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: an old man like me couldn't watch a game on TV? Well,

136
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: it's one of two reasons. I mean, they probably have

137
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: cable now that it's football season, right, they have.

138
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: A cecial football package that's not cable TV. Correct.

139
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Oh, so you couldn't watch it at all, but you

140
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: also did. It's not even an old man thing. It's

141
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: impossible to operate another man's television.

142
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: If I walked into your house right now at age.

143
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Thirty two, Dad, I don't think I could figure out

144
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: your TVs and I helped set them all up for you.

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: Jeff, Why are we doing this? Why is it so

146
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: difficult to turn on a television and watch it? I

147
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 2: know this is obvious. This is part of the broadcasting

148
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: issue that we have at ESPN at all over the country,

149
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: all over the world. How do you get the games

150
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: on TV? All I know is I had to watch.

151
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: I couldn't even watch it on my phone. All I

152
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: got was the update and I'm watching Jackson Holiday home run,

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: and now, of course I'm saying, Wow, it's gonna be

154
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: a it's gonna be a one hitter. And then I

155
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: watched I'd listen to the I just don't. I watched

156
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: the whole thing happen. It was dead crazy.

157
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to upgrade your cable package at your

158
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,280

Speaker 1: of money, but we make enough money to pay for

162

164
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,360

Speaker 3: The exact date. So here we are talking.

179
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,960

180
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,240

00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: have an anniversary and they might not be home that day,

182
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,520

184
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240

187
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: dates in baseball history. September sixth, nineteen ninety five, My

00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: What Jeff talk about Barry in the lead, I am

191
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: no longer a journalist. I called Emily the morning of September.

192
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: She did, you were one of the first people to.

193
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Reach out to b birthday and I never connect and

194
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: I knew she was thirty. Oh, this is embarrassing. I

195
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: can't do the show anymore.

196
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: After this, I was gonna say, I think we have

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: to retire because both of us swinging and missing at this.

198
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

199
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 3: I'm not even I can't even be mad at you

200
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: for not making the connection. I'm her husband, right, and

201
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: I didn't make the connection.

202
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: Did you just make it? Just now?

203
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: Hand to god?

204
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: I double checked two one, three one. It was September sixth,

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five.

206
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: As we all know.

207
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: I did a Google search in the background of this

208
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: call to make sure I had it right.

209
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just figured it out.

210
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: It just hit me, all right, Speaking for all men, Jeff,

211
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: we are the worst. That is terrible that we didn't

212
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: recognize that.

213
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: So here's not as bad as what I did. Dad.

214
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I had cupcakes for dinner or for dessert because we're

215
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: gluten and dairy free right now, so I knew we

216
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: couldn't do a full cake, and I totally forgot to

217
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: do like a candle blowout situation on Saturday. Just dropped

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: the ball, totally missed it, and so we did it

219
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: last night. This would have been Sunday the seventh, because

220
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: I dely airballed on it.

221
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: I got the dessert. I was prepped for that, but.

222
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: I did not actually make the action in sing Happy birthday.

223
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: So another day fail. Husband failed right there.

224
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an airball from the free throw line. That's

225
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: pretty bad.

226
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: And I got her flowers on Friday home from work

227
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: like birthday weekends, so excited took her out to breakfast

228
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning of her birthday.

229
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: I totally missed it on the cupcakes.

230
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: All right, gar, here's what clever people do. Jeff, this

231
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: guy looks up. I don't know who did it, and

232
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: maybe this is the biggest reach ever. But Jackson Holiday,

233
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: aged twenty one, hit the home run and then the

234
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: game winning hit was given up by Tanner Scott. Who

235
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: is how old is he?

236
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: Jeff thirty one?

237
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: Twenty one? Thirty thirty one? How about that?

238
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a little bit of a reach. However,

239
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: I do think that there's something there, There's some magic there.

240
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 3: Imagine.

241
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I was so sad following that game on my phone.

242
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: They were going to get no hit on two one

243
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: three one, Dad. Yeah, all the bands did to celebrate.

244
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: Cal and then the magic of baseball took over and

245
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: it went from what would have been a no hitter

246
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: into one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history that

247
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a way around that. And Jeff,

248
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: by the way, going back to September sixth, nineteen ninety five,

249
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: I was there. I wrote the whole thing for Sports Illustrated,

250
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: talk about a magical night. I'll just tell you one

251
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: quick story from Bob Elliott, my dear friend, Hall of

252
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Fame baseball writer from Canada. He just parachuted in for

253
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: two to one, three one, so he hadn't been there

254
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: for the amazing build up and everything else, so he

255
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: didn't sense the drama. And it was hard to sense

256
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: the drama because you knew in the fifth inning this

257
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: is going to be official and that's it. So he

258
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: looks at me, and Bob's the greatest guy in the world,

259
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: but he says, tim, I I don't feel it, I

260
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: don't see it. I don't get it. What is the

261
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: big deal here? I said, Boxer, I don't know. Something's

262
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: going to happen tonight. I don't know what it is.

263
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: Check back with me after the fifth inning. And then,

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: of course Ripken is pushed out of the dugout by

265
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: Bobby Benia. It makes this unforgettable twenty two minute tour

266
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: of the stadium looking at people who are weeping in

267
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: the crowd. I mean weeping. He's pointing to people, he's

268
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: shaking hands. It's unbelievable. And he comes back, wife and children,

269
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: big hug and everything else. And after the fifth inning,

270
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: Bob Elliott, my dear friend, comes up to me with

271
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: tears in his eyes, and he says, Okay, Tim, I

272
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: get it. That's what that night was all about. And

273
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: I wish I had been there Saturday night, but if

274
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: I may, I was where I was supposed to be.

275
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: It was way more important for me and your sister

276
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: to take care of our two grandchildren, even though I

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: couldn't watch the game on TV.

278
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: All right, Dad, what do you have in the take? Now?

279
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 2: Sadly, we're gonna start with the death. Davy Johnson died

280
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: at age eighty two. I believe he should be in

281
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame as a manager. You look at

282
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: the teams that he took over and what he did

283
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: with those teams Dodgers, Reds, Mets, of course Nationals. I

284
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: think Davy Johnson deserves it to be in the Hall

285
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: of Fame as a manager. I always loved what a

286
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: rebel he was. He just did things his way. Remember

287
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: when we interviewed Ron Darling about the famous July fourth

288
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: game Davy got thrown out that We said, you know

289
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: where was Davy during the game? You remember what Ron

290
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: Darling said, Davy was he was gone.

291
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: Like he left.

292
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: He was still there, but he wasn't exactly managing from

293
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: his office, because that is how Daviy did. Davy also

294
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: was a great basketball player in high school and a

295
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: really good golfer. And I like to ask Jeff the

296
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: average golfer, the question, if you had a you know,

297
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: a five shot lead on Tiger Woods going into eighteen

298
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: at Augusta, could you hold the lead, a five shot

299
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: lead with all the pressure. And I didn't ask Davey

300
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: that question. I asked him if he could win with

301
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: a with a two shot lead, and he was so

302
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: insulted that I asked him that. He said, I would Birdy,

303
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: that son of a bitch. That's what he said about

304
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: the eighteenth at Augusta. That's who Davy was. I love

305
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: Davy for that. And you know he's also a math major, Jeff,

306
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: just like your grandfather Pop was a PhD in mathematics

307
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: MIT undergrad. Davy Johnson had a great mathematical mind, so

308
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: you would think that he would engage with the metrics

309
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: more than anyone, and sometimes he did. But he once

310
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: told me, look, I can watch a player for five

311
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: minutes and I'll tell you whether he can play or

312
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: not five minutes. That's what great baseball people can do.

313
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: I also told you the story, Jeff, that when Davy

314
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: Johnson met Brooks Robinson for the first time in spring training,

315
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: you know, mid sixties whatever, he notices that Brooks Robinson

316
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: writes and eats with his left hand, and Davey goes,

317
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: wait a minute, the greatest defensive third basement of all

318
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: time writes and eats with his left hand. So Davy

319
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: told me that he wrote and ate with his left

320
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: hand for a year to see if it would make

321
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: him a better second basement. Wow, he said, it didn't work.

322
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: But I.

323
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: Had to try it. And as far as being a

324
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: rebel goes I'd never heard this story till a few

325
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: years ago. Bob Clappish, my good baseball friend for New York.

326
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: What a great writer he is. So Clapp told me

327
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: a story that it was six thirty before a seven

328
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: o'clock game, and Clapp is still in the clubhouse. Jeff

329
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: in today's day, at age, they let you in at

330
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: three and kick you out at three forty five, and

331
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: that's it. It's six thirty and he's still in there.

332
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: And Davy sees a writer in the clubhouse with thirty

333
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: minutes before the game and says, Clap, you got to

334
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: get out of here, man, We've got a team meeting.

335
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: So then he looks at Clap and goes, I never

336
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: buy you could stay. So Bob Clappers, beat writer for

337
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: the team, stayed and watched the team meeting in the

338
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: Mets clubhouse because Davy Johnson didn't give a darn that

339
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: there was a writer in there, because he knew what

340
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: he was doing, and it didn't bother him that somebody

341
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: knew what he was doing. That's who Davy Johnson was.

342
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: A rebel in every form and rest in peace, and

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: someday I believe he'll be in the Hall of fame

344
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: as a manager.

345
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, what other takeaways do you have right now?

346
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: Right? A couple things, Jeff, Bryce Terrang I've told you

347
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: multiple times with the Brewers has really become a good

348
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: offensive player. I told you what an elite defensive second

349
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: basement is. He's a magician out there. But since August,

350
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: this was as the other day he had a one

351
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: point one four to six OPS was the highest OPS

352
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: in the Major League since August the first. We're talking

353
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: about five weeks here, and it's just so beautiful that

354
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: the light goes on for somebody offensively and suddenly he's

355
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: got it. It's really cool to watch. Also, Jeff, the

356
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: stolen base thing is really getting interesting. As of the

357
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: other day, most stolen bases in the second half of

358
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: the season for any player is Juan Soto was seventeen. Now,

359
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: Jan Soto has never stolen seventeen bases in a season

360
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: in his career, and now he's got seventeen the second

361
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: half of the season. Again, Jeff, we know how much

362
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: easier it is to steal a base now, bigger bases.

363
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: You know the engagement rule you can't throw over all

364
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: the time. It's easier to steal a base but I

365
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: do you find it interesting that Juan Soto, who is

366
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: here mostly to hit, has the most steals of anyone

367
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: the second half of the season.

368
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: I mean, are they just he's giving him the green light? Well,

369
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: what's the change in there?

370
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: You know?

371
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 3: And I mean he clearly can run.

372
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: The bases, right, He's a smart player. He knows what

373
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: he's doing, and guys are picking and choosing a little

374
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 2: bit more. Jeff, do you know who Josh Naylor is

375
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: of the Mariners?

376
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

377
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

378
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: Do you know what he Cleveland Gardens?

379
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: Do you know what he looks like? Big dude, big dude.

380
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: How many steals has he got? Twenty four stolen bases? Unbelievable, unbelievable.

381
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: Never stolen more than ten in any season. Now he's

382
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: got twenty four. I mean keep in mind Joe Demaggio

383
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: stole thirty bases in his career. I mean, yeah, back

384
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: then on those teams, there was no reason to run.

385
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: It was a mistake to run because the next guy

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: was gonna hit a three run homer. Anyway, But I

387
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: found that interesting. And Trevor Story, who runs pretty well.

388
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: The Red Sox shortstop is twenty seven for twenty seven

389
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: and steals, so he's got twenty seven steals, no caught stealings.

390
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: That the twenty seven ties his career high. But he's

391
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: never had twenty seven steals in a season without getting caught.

392
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: Pretty impressive, very impressive. And last thing, Jeff, we talked

393
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: about this the other day. Roldis Chapman through Sunday was

394
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: up to seventeen consecutive hitless appearances. Now, Jeff, let's understand

395
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: he's a closer. He's only pitching an inning at a time,

396
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 2: So for those seventeen in a row, the total is

397
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: fourteen and two thirds hitless inning, so he's not throwing

398
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: a whole lot of innings. But the record is twenty

399
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: in a row by Randy Choate, who did that as

400
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: a left handed reliever in twenty eleven. Randy Choate got

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: his twenty in a row over eight and two thirds innings.

402
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: Just to show you, situational relievers don't even pitch a

403
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: whole inning. They just come in and get it out

404
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: and then they get you out. But it's still really impressive.

405
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: Twenty straight appearances without allowing a hit. That's the major

406
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: league record.

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: And Dad, did you hear about this too?

408
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Connor Wong when he first when Chapman first joined the

409
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Wong said in PitchCom fastball inside, right, And

410
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: so Chapman threw a fastball inside. And after that appearance

411
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: he went up to Connor Wong and the coaching staff

412
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: and said, I never really tried to target my fastball.

413
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: What right?

414
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: He just throws so hard that nobody can hit it,

415
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. So I can't help but believe

416
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: that he's having arguably one of the best seasons of

417
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: his career right now at his age, because he has

418
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: a coaching staff and catchers who are helping him be

419
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: better and helping him target a fastball. God forbid we

420
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: decide where to throw a ball, those poor catchers before saying,

421
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where this fastball is gonna go, but

422
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw it right now, right.

423
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: And he's averaged over fourteen strikeouts per nine innings in

424
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: his career. Jeff, just letting it go. I remember when

425
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: David Ross caught him with the Cubs. Of course, the

426
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: Cubs won the World Series with a rold As Chapman

427
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: as their closer, and ROSSI used to tell me, and

428
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: ROSSI was a really good defensive catcher. But Chapman threw

429
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: so hard he used to say to himself behind the plate,

430
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: all right, just catch it. Okay, you don't have to

431
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: frame it, you don't have to be ready to throw,

432
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: just catch it. That's how hard and that's how violent

433
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: the stuff that a role as Chapman has.

434
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: And Jah, do you think that he's making any sort

435
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: of play for the cy Young. I mean, we haven't

436
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: had a closer win a cy Young since Eric Ganye

437
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: twenty plus years ago.

438
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: Is there a play for.

439
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: This if he continues this out through the month of September.

440
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: No, No, because Trek schools in the league, and he's

441
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: had a cy Young season. And when we've had cy

442
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: Young seasons by starters, they always win. And now we

443
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: have a new award Jeb put together. By the way,

444
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: that driving force behind it was our dear friend Jason Stark.

445
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: Next year we're going to have a Reliever of the

446
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: Year in the American League and the National League, voted

447
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: on by the Baseball Writers Association of America. So that's good, Hey,

448
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: Randy Cholate. It brought back some memories for me. One

449
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: of my favorite stories I've ever written was about superstitions

450
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: and I probably talked to thirty different players about their superstitions.

451
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: I was in the Cardinal dugout one at Cardinal Clubhouse

452
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: one day, and I went to Jason Mott, really good

453
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: reliever in his day, and talked to him about superstisions

454
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 2: that he looks at me and says, well, if you're

455
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: going to talk about superstitions, he got to talk to

456
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: Randy Chod. He's all messed up. That was how he

457
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: described He's all messed up. So I went to Randy

458
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 2: Chod and said, tell me about your superstitions. And he

459
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: looked at me and he said, okay, remember you asked me. Okay,

460
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm not volunteering this, but you asked me.

461
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: So.

462
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: Among the many things, when he starts to warm up

463
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: in the bullpen, this is in twenty eleven, I did

464
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: this interview. He said, if there's any gum wrappers or

465
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: empty cups anywhere near the mound, I have to go

466
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: clean them up first, because I can't pitch on a

467
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: cluttered mound. I can't wow. And if a piece of

468
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: paper while he's in the game, a wrapper or a

469
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: piece of paper, anything blows past the bound, he will

470
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: grab it and put it in his back pocket because

471
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: he can't bear to have a messy mound when he's

472
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: working on it. Also, if there are seeds anywhere near

473
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: him while he's pitching bullpen or on the mound, he

474
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: has to pick them up and get rid of them

475
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: because that's an untidy mound. He also told me when

476
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: he comes in from the bullpen, if it's down the

477
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: third base line, he has to enter the game, Jeff

478
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: in between the shortstop and the third baseman has to

479
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: run in between them. If the bullpen is down the

480
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: right field line and he runs into the game, he

481
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: has to run in between the first basement and the

482
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: second basement. So Daniel descalso mischievous second Basement for the Cardinals.

483
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: Once decided to try to get Randy chot All messed

484
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: up by moving around and not allowing him to run

485
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: in between. Mike Matheny, the manager of the Cardinals, screamed it,

486
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't do it. You'll scroll him up. Don't do it.

487
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: That's how messed up. Randy Choate was and again, great guy,

488
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 2: really good relief pitcher, but he had some things that

489
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: he had to take care of. And everything he did

490
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: in his life was even numbered. He wore number thirty six.

491
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: Everything he did was even numbered except for the number

492
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: of warm up pitches in between innings. Seven. That's it. No,

493
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: not eight, not six, has to be seven. So those

494
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: are our superstitions for the day, courtesy of Randy.

495
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: Choke coming up next here on his It's a great

496
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: game or what?

497
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Dad?

498
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna get our quirk gins along with another team Tim.

499
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: These are the most popular things that our members of

500
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: our family who listen to the show love on the

501
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: state in baseball history and another team Tim, what we're

502
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: getting double team Tims.

503
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: Too, Tims and want two team Tyms and one days.

504
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: People seem to enjoy this. I know I enjoy spending

505
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: all day looking up pointless arcane numbers, names, everything. But

506
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a minute.

507
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 3: Is this a great game or what Dad? Let's go

508
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: into the quark gins.

509
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 2: Okay, Jeff, we had twelve saves on Sunday. Do you

510
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: find that fitting that we had twelve saves on Sunday?

511
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

512
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, in theory, only fifteen possible saves if every

513
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: team is playing right, that's a lot of saves, right.

514
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: So the last time we had twelve saves in one day,

515
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: was over a year ago. That was on July tenth,

516
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. But I'm trying to make the point

517
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: about having a save on Sunday, not Saturday, not Friday,

518
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: Sunday makes sense? Or are you not connecting the dots?

519
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: Are you taking me to church right now?

520
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: Or so stupid? Yeah, I'm glad you didn't get it

521
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: because it wasn't good enough for you to get.

522
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: Well, Dad, I'll tell you this much.

523
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: I did not have an opportunity to make it to

524
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: church on Sunday because I was hosting events at the

525
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: Kennett Square Mushroom Festival. True story. I've done it four

526
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: years in a row. I hosted the Fried Mushroom eating

527
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: contest where the winner ate nine pounds of mushrooms in

528
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: ten minutes.

529
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: Really true story.

530
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wasn't able to go to church, but

531
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: I did get a voicemail from you, Dad, while you

532
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: were at church, a butt dial voicemail and on your phone,

533
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: it'll give you the the transcription of what you heard.

534
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: And this morning from Deuteronomy, this dramatic and climactic part

535
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: of the book, Moses is speaking to a new generation

536
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: of Israel born during the forty years Israel has been

537
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: Moses is offering the choice between This is the voicemail

538
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: you left me on Sunday, Dad. I got a little

539
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: bit of the sermon, so I felt like I went

540
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: to church anyway.

541
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, a long button dial voicemail.

542
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: It's okay, Dad, Isn't it all right, Jeff, I'm really

543
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: bad at that.

544
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: No, Dad, don't worry, right, okay.

545
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: Dalen Lyle of the Nationals has eight triples in two

546
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty two at bats. He just had a

547
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 2: two triple game the other day, and he had a

548
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: three triple weekend at Wrigley Field. The last guy's I mean,

549
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: like four guys in history you have ever had a

550
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: three triple weekend at or three game series at Wrigley Field.

551
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: That's how hard it is there. The last guy to

552
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 2: have eight triples in his first two hundred and fifty

553
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: at bats was Starling Marte, who had eight in two

554
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: twenty two. In twenty thirteen, and Starling Martin Tay to

555
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: this day has the most triples of any active player.

556
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: Starling Marte.

557
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: Every time I hear his name now, I think of

558
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: one SNL comedian who did his whole thing was talking

559
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: about how when broadcasters do, like especially PA announcers will

560
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: be like up to the plate, Jeff Kirkschin. But when

561
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: they have somebody of Latin descent, all of a sudden

562
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: they become Latin.

563
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: They say, up to the bait from suntunaming Starling model.

564
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: It's a great, great snl bit And uh, I absolutely

565
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: love it because it's so true as a as a

566
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: white guy myself. When I used to do PA PA

567
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: announcing at the Frederick Keyes, when Edward Rodriguez would come in,

568
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I'd always add a little bit more splash in there,

569
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more.

570
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: All right, I love it. I love it, Jeff. All right.

571
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: So Todd Addington, one of our one of our alert lists,

572
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: went to the game September sixth Cardinals game and gets

573
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: the Giants and the game was won on a walk

574
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: off hit by Jordan Walker, and he the walk off

575
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: came off Ryan Walker, oh pitcher for the Giants. So

576
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: we had a walk off with the pitcher and the

577
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: hitter both named Walker, and as Todd cleverly pointed out,

578
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: it would have been better if it had been a

579
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: walk off walk but we still got a walk off

580
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: hit from Jordan Walker off of Ryan Walker thank you

581
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: very much for that, Todd. I did not notice that

582
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: I love it. I enjoyed talking to people about baseball,

583
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: and when people are reading the box score as much

584
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: like I am every day, that's a you know, that's

585
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: a shared interest. I love that stuff. But I don't

586
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: think anyone looked this up. But I did because our

587
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: buddy Steve Sparks told us last week they had another

588
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: palindrome in the attendance. It was thirty three one thirty three.

589
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: So I looked him up. He's had that, the astros have.

590
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: I've had four palindromic attendances this year and Steve Sparks

591
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: points it out every single time. Sounds like a lot

592
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: to me, doesn't it, Jeff?

593
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: It does?

594
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: But you know Steve Sparks, his seam head mind is

595
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: always on the move, always looking for something.

596
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: He's the best.

597
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: What an understatement. When he asked us earlier this year,

598
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: after we had him on, he was so funny. He goes,

599
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: I just want to be a seamhead someday, and we said, someday.

600
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: You've been a seammed for years. You're the only one

601
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: that looks up this stuff. So all right, Jeff, you

602
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: know how much I love to look at line scores

603
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: and see phone numbers. I saw a couple of them

604
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: this week, which I'm not even going to tell you

605
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: which one, but it's a real bad habit of mine.

606
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: When you see a five to one to zero area code,

607
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: like if five in the first, one in the second,

608
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: zero the third, you pay attention. And Jeff say Cybold,

609
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: a big Brewers fan, pointed out to me that the

610
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: Brewers got four in the first, one in the second,

611
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: four were in the third. So four four to one four,

612
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: that's Milwaukee's area code. Now it didn't turn out to

613
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: be a phone number, but he just wanted to alert

614
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: me that the Brewers had a four to one four

615
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: to start the game. I love stuff like that. I

616
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 2: love it way too much. I acknowledge.

617
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and Peter Gammons are constantly always tracking this, right, Peter,

618
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: the one that kind of introduced you to it.

619
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Peter called one day and got a warehouse,

620
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: like a working number at a warehouse for like some

621
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: six one seven number, which was the Boston area code,

622
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: which I just I love so much of ur. Last thing, Jeff,

623
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: we had Sunday, we had the Max Freed against Max Scherzer.

624
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: They were the pitchers of record in the game between

625
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays and the Yankees, so this is fairly

626
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: obvious for a team. Tim, What's what what? What is it?

627
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do the all mac?

628
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: Of course? Yeah? Well, Max Stassy is the catcher. Max

629
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: Munsey is the first baseman. Of course, he's played second

630
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: and mostly third now. Max Bishop from a million years

631
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: ago is the second baseman. Max Alvis, who I grew

632
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: up watching when he played for the Indians, it's the

633
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: third baseman. Max Morof is our shortstop. Max Carrey Hall

634
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: of Famer, is one outfielder, Max Venable, who I grew

635
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: up watching on the Giants when I was hopelessly devoted

636
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: to the Giants as a teenager. And his son, of course,

637
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: is Will Vettable, who's the manager of the White Sox,

638
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: And Max Kepler, who plays for the Phillies, is our

639
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: third outfielder. And Max Schurzer is our right handed pitcher,

640
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: and Max fried is our left handed pitcher. I think

641
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: this is fair to say Max Schurzer is the greatest

642
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: Max ever. Again, Max Carrey's in the Hall of Fame,

643
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: but Max Schuerzer is going to the Hall of fame.

644
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: So it's possible that two of the greatest Maxes of

645
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: all time were the pictures of record. Sunday, when the

646
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: Blue Jays played the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

647
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: All right, Dad, what do you have for on this

648
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: state in baseball history?

649
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: On this date September ninth, nineteen forty eight, Rex Barney

650
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: pitched a no hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers. And I

651
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: bring that up because Rex became one of my dear

652
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: friends as the public address voice of the Baltimore Orioles's.

653
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: He was a character of all characters. Give that fan

654
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: a contract, give that fan and error Mac. I'm telling you,

655
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: Rex was one of my favorite people ever and again

656
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: had a great arm. Jeb through really hard and then

657
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 2: sadly he got the yips and really never recovered and

658
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: couldn't throw a strike anymore. He went to see psychiatrists,

659
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: he tried everything. He even put an ad in a

660
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: newspaper saying someone please help me because he got in

661
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: his head. And Rex Barney really never quite recovered from

662
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: getting the yips to speaking again, to the degree of

663
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: difficulty and the mental part of baseball which is so

664
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 2: difficult to get through. Okay, On this date. In nineteen

665
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: sixty five, Sandy Kofax pitched a perfect game, no walks,

666
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: fourteen strikeouts, certainly maybe the greatest game ever pitched. It's

667
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: hard to beat perfect game with fourteen strikeouts. But the

668
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: interesting part is Bob Henley of the Cubs pitched in

669
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: that game, and he pitched a one hitter. Jeff, he

670
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: pitched a complete game, one hitter, eight innings, and he

671
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: lost one to nothing. He threw seventy six pitches in

672
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: that game. So they played a nine inning game at

673
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium and Kofax pitched a perfect game and there

674
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: was one hit total in the game.

675
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: That is so sad because you threw arguably probably his.

676
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: Best outing of the season maybe you are career, yeah.

677
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: Maybe of his career, and you were just overshadowed by

678
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe the greatest game ever pitched of all time.

679
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: Right, that's really say, by one of.

680
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: The greatest pitchers ever. All right, this date in nineteen

681
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: ninety two, robign got his three thousand hit. By the way,

682
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: I really have trouble saying three thousand. I always say

683
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: hit number three thousand, three thousandth hit? Can you say that? No?

684
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 3: And I know three thousandth right, I it's heard, you

685
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: have to over emphasize it.

686
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: I hate that one, right, I'm not free three thousandth

687
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: And you know my least favorite word in the world brewery, brewery, right, gosh,

688
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: I want to throw up, all.

689
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: Right, chef.

690
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 3: It makes me sick, all right.

691
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: So Robigny was, you know, played major league shortstop every

692
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: day at age eighteen, one of the great athletes ever.

693
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: And Dan please act told me a story of years

694
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: ago about he was a teammate with rob Robnell had

695
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: a bruise on like the inside of his thigh that

696
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: was so gruesome, Dan please, that couldn't even look at it.

697
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: And they're in the outfield and he goes up to

698
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: robyne out and he says, are you playing today with

699
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 2: that injury? And Robnet goes, yes, of course I'm playing

700
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: today with that injury. So please, that says Robin, why

701
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: are you playing? And he said, Dan, do you do

702
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: you remember when you faked being sick in like the

703
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 2: third grade and you got away with it? You remember

704
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: and Dan please, that goes yeah, I remember it, he goes.

705
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: Robnet goes, you remember how much easier it was getting

706
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: away with it? The second time because you got away

707
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: with it the first time, and please that goes. Yeah,

708
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 2: it was even easier the second time. You out looked

709
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 2: at his teammate and said, and don't ever do it

710
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: the first time. So the first time you acknowledge this

711
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 2: hurts too much for me to play, it's going to

712
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: be easier to I'll Jeff the second time. Don't do

713
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: it the first time. Does that tell you who robin

714
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: you out is? Jeff?

715
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: It's so fitting.

716
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so perfect, and it's great for like

717
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: normal people like us, right, Like, if you think you

718
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: can get by calling in, calling out sick to work

719
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: when you're not really sick, if you do it once,

720
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna think you can get away with it all

721
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the time, not just twice, but a hundred times, and

722
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: then not good, not a good lesson for life.

723
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: Right, Jeff, Your second colonoscope will be much easier than

724
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: your first one because you'll know what to deal with correct.

725
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.

726
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: So, thanks for bringing such an unpleasant subject up again.

727
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm starving over here, I'm so hungry, I'm so low energy.

728
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: But hopefully on the third well, on the Thursday episode, obviously,

729
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: I'll be back and better than ever, so we'll be

730
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: able to handle that.

731
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: Right On this day. In two thousand and seven, Ricky Weeks,

732
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: JJ Hardy, and Ryan Braun let off game first three

733
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: hitters in the game for the Brewers with a home run.

734
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: Third time in major league history that the first three

735
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: batters had hit a home run in order to start

736
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: a game. And the interesting part is JJ Hardy did

737
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: it again, only he did it well. He was a

738
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: member of the Orioles, so I just love that that

739
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: he was a part of that in two different teams.

740
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's been done a bunch of times now,

741
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: but when Hardy and Weeks and Brown did it in

742
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, it was only the third time

743
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: in major league history. First time, of course, was Marvell Win,

744
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: Tony gwyn and John Cruck, which I always thought the

745
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: win Gwynn Kruck was just beautiful, so perfect. All right,

746
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: let's see nineteen. On this date, in nineteen fifty nine,

747
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: Tom Foley was born. Tom Foley was a pretty good

748
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 2: major league infielder who could do a lot of things

749
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: and became a really good coach who I got very

750
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: close to over the years as a coach, especially with

751
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Rays. What I always found interesting with

752
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: him was when he was a coach with Rays, I

753
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: found out through him that he, you know, he's the

754
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: right handed player. Jeff shortstop, second baseman. He played quarterback

755
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: in high school and he threw a football with his

756
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: left hand. So here we have a right handed baseball

757
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: player who played quarterback in high school and he threw

758
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 2: a football with his left hand. I've never understood how

759
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: it's a very similar motion Jeff. And on the same

760
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay team, the first baseman Travis Lee, a left

761
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: handed thrower in baseball, played quarterback in high school and

762
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: he threw a football with his right hand. So on

763
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 2: the same team we had two guys who played quarterback

764
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: in high school but used the other hand to throw

765
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: than the one they throw a baseball with. And if

766
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: that's not amazing enough, Tom Foley also played for the

767
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates. And on that team was a pitcher named

768
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: Steve Cook who was a left handed pitcher. And what

769
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: did he do, Jeff in high school?

770
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 3: Quarterback with the right hand.

771
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: Yes, So Tom Foley has been part of this bizarre

772
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: you know this bizarre what's.

773
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: The string of amid dexterity?

774
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I couldn't even think of it. Yes, Jim Morrison,

775
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: former Major leaguers said he was amphibious. He got amd dexterity,

776
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: and yeah, so we used to joke that he could

777
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: throw with both hands underwater. Amphibious. Yes, so I love

778
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 2: that about Tom Foley. And the last thing Todd Todd

779
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: Zeal on this date in nineteen sixty five was born. Now,

780
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: Todd Zeal was a really good major league player for

781
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: a long time, hit a bunch of home runs, and

782
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 2: I always got a kick out of the fact that

783
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: he used to be a catcher. And one day he

784
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: caught Dan Quizinberry. So what's what's that, Jeff? You got

785
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: figure it out. Todd Zeal caught Dan Quizonberry QZ QZ.

786
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 2: So it took many, many, many more years when Barry

787
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: Zito pitched to some guy forget his name, not important.

788
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 2: His name began with a Q. But the last time

789
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: that had happened was when a Q Dan Quisenberry threw

790
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: to a Z Todd Zeal. Those are the things I

791
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: pay attention to again, the reason I have nothing else

792
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: to do with my life. And let's quiz you, Jeff

793
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: Todd Zeal hit two hundred and fifty three homers in

794
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: his career, so at one point, what was the distinction

795
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 2: of the two fifty three? Since replaced by a guest

796
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: of ours last year, he.

797
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: Has the most home runs with the last name Z

798
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: until Ryan Zimmerman.

799
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: Jeff, you are really getting good at this. I am

800
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: so proud of you. Thank you. I appreciate that.

801
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: All right, Dad, Well, tomorrow on the podcast, we have

802
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: a very special guest. Jim Abbott is going to be

803
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: joining us. We had him as a little sneak preview

804
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: last week celebrating the anniversary of his no hitter for

805
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, and now we have forty minutes

806
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: of talking with him.

807
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 3: That was so inspirational and so fantastic.

808
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: It was.

809
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 3: I loved our conversation with him.

810
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: Jeff, Inspirational doesn't do it justice. I mean we both

811
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: had tears in our eyes at the end of that podcast,

812
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: and we laughed through most of it because Jim Abbott

813
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: has a great sense of humor. And so when anyone

814
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: can make you think, and he can make you laugh

815
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: and can make you cry all in one interview, that's

816
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 2: what we got from Jim Abbott. So in his honor,

817
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: I decided to let's see if you can figure out

818
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: what the team Tim is with Jim Abbott. Yeah, I mean,

819
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm giving you no clue here, Jeff. And we're not

820
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: going to go Jim's or Abbot's or you know, alphabets

821
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: or anything else. What was one of the distinctions we

822
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: brought up about Jim Abbott that still amazes me to

823
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: this day. What did he not do in his major

824
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: league career?

825
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: Well, okay, right off the bat, I don't think you're

826
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: thinking about a full team of players that only had

827
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: one hand, because I don't think you would field that

828
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: full team.

829
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: No, what did he not do in his career? He

830
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: did not play in the minor leagues? Hello, all right, Jae,

831
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: how we found that out?

832
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: Jeff? You are so you're getting so good at this, Jeff. Someday, Jeff,

833
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to be really good at country music. All right.

834
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: I've already gotten over the country western music thing. But

835
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to be just as good in country music

836
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: someday as you are in baseball, because you're getting better

837
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: every day. So these are the guys I came up

838
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: with who never spent a day in the minor leagues. Okay,

839
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: John Olerude is our first baseman. Wo Frankie Frish whose

840
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 2: birthday is today. Frankie Frish, oh Gas House Gang million

841
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 2: years ago. Highest career batting average of any switch hitter

842
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 2: in Major League history. I believe it's three seventeen. Bob

843
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: Horner is our third baseman. And our dear friend Val Vandaventer,

844
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 2: who played baseball with Uncle Matt at kathak You, who

845
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: got drafted nineteen seventy eight, the same year that Bob

846
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: Horner did. So the Braves brought all of their draft

847
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: choices to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium to take batting practice

848
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: to know this is the final destination. And Val great guy,

849
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 2: great throwing arm. Val told me that he's looking around

850
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: and he said every pitch to Bob Horner's Towell Guy

851
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 2: was overrun in batting practice. And he kept looking at

852
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 2: the other guys who were all drafted the same year

853
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: and said, he's so much better than us, How can

854
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: this be? While Bob Horner went to Arizona State, was

855
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 2: unbelievably strong, short, short arms, really powerful, hit four homers

856
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: in a major League game at but I just thought

857
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 2: that was really cool that another draft choice that year

858
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: looked at Bob Horner and good, oh my gosh, we

859
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: got drafted the same year as that guy did. So cool.

860
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 2: All right. The shortstop is Ernie Banks, and there's a

861
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: bit of Ernie Banks played in the Negro leagues, but

862
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: he never played in the minor league, so there's a

863
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 2: difference there, but technically correct. Al Kayline, of course, won

864
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 2: a batting title at age twenty. And what did I

865
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: tell you once about al Kline? Jeff, what a great

866
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: basketball player he was? Remember what I told you? What

867
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: did he tell me once?

868
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 3: I can't remember, You're gonna have to remind he said.

869
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: He told me he was a better basketball player in

870
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: high school than he was a baseball player. And he

871
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: won a batting title at age twenty and never played

872
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. Dave Winfield never played in the

873
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: minor league. Well Ott never played in the minor leagues.

874
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, though both those guys are Hall of famers.

875
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 2: And of course Jim Abbott did not. Catfish Hunter didn't.

876
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: A bunch of pitchers, including Bob Feller and Sandy Kofax,

877
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: never played in the minor leagues. Our catcher, and I

878
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 2: must say, if someone can help me on this, I

879
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: can really use some help because I could not find

880
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 2: a catcher who never played in the minor leagues. Now,

881
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: I did find Brian Milner, who I remember well coming

882
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 2: up with the Blue Jays. He went straight to the

883
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 2: major leagues, but struggled for a while and went back

884
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: to the minor leagues. I think for a really long time.

885
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 2: It didn't have much of a major league career. But

886
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: if any of our listeners can find a catcher who

887
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: never played in the minor leagues, I'd sure like to

888
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: know that, because I couldn't find it.

889
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: Well, Dad, tomorrow, straight to the big leagues. Jim Abbott

890
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: is going to be joining our podcast. It's going to

891
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: inspire you, it's going to make you smile, it might

892
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: make you cry. And special shout outs to some members

893
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: of our family in that interview.

894
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: And Jeff, let me just say one more time, the

895
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: most underplayed story in all the years that I've covered

896
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: baseball is how good Jim Abbott was playing his entire career.

897
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 2: Of course without his right hand. I still don't think

898
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,479
Speaker 2: people appreciate how he was able to do that. It's

899
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: just incredible. And yet, Jeff, as you know, instead of

900
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: him saying, God, look how great I was. He never

901
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: ever looked at it as a disability. He just said,

902
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to figure this out and he did. And

903
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: that's what's so inspirational about his story, and we have

904
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: him tomorrow.

905
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 1: Wait until you hear what his dad had to say

906
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: about My goodness, you're.

907
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: Going to cry again just thinking about what it's bother said.

908
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:50,959
Speaker 2: So good.

909
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for listening.

910
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: Don't miss the interview tomorrow with Jim Abbott, and as always,

911
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: thank you for being a part of our family.
