I think there's 57 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: a spot there for me, But you know, I'm not 58 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: with a first ballot guy, you know what I'm saying. 59 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think there's a spot there for me. 60 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: And uh, I mean, I'm I'm blessed in so many ways. 61 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: It would be an incredible exciting feeling for me and 62 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Nancy and the kids and grandkids and but you know, 63 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: I'm kind of philosophical about it. I would love that honor. 64 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: That would be just it would blow me away if 65 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: it happened. 66 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: I have a question on this. 67 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: So did you ever connect with a writer that didn't 68 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: vote for you and be like just curious, why die 69 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: fall shorty? Did you ever catch an article where they said, yeah, 70 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 3: I'm not voting for him, he's on the cuss. But 71 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: I'm gonna know. And here's why. There are some writers 72 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: that are also just the super small ballot. They put 73 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: one or people on there, they're in another category. But 74 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: was there anything that stood out to you because you're 75 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: looking at your career, your accolades, and you're like. 76 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: What they think? The one thing people mentioned me and 77 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: it is true, my last couple of years there was 78 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: drop off. 79 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: You know. 80 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame typically likes to see, you know, 81 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: a good steady, but you know I can't. There's no 82 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: debating that. But that's all being a human. 83 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 6: By the way, Yeah, get older and off sometimes, you know, 84 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 6: you don't think, Hey, if I retired right now, I'd 85 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 6: have a better shot at getting the big leagues instead 86 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 6: of attacking on these you know what I mean. 87 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a Hall of Fame. 88 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you just play, you play, you let things happen. 89 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, I retired ninety three. I was I was 90 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: ready to retire. But you know, like I say, I 91 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of people support me within the voters, 92 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. This new ballad has helped 93 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: a lot of us guys that played predominantly in the 94 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: eighties and I can't think of him now, but Lee Smith. 95 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: I think Fred McGriff got in on this. Yeah, who 96 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: should have been in Yeah before Harold bains Lee should 97 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: have been you know Harold, and I think Alan Trammel, 98 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you know. So what I guess what I'm trying to 99 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: say is I'm thankful Hall of Fame recognize that and 100 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: change the voting a little bit, because remember what happened 101 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: before you were all lumped in with veterans. There were 102 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: two thousand of us. Now they've split it up into 103 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: eras and they can kind of focus in. 104 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: On what you did. So I'm thankful for that. 105 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: I like that. 106 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: What do you think of this whole area that they 107 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: put together. 108 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: This this battery and the thing the Braves did. 109 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: As you guys know, there's been people from all over 110 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: the world that's seen this is the model. 111 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: What can I say except I've heard the word used earlier. Electric. 112 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: That's right, it's so likely. I was here for the 113 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: World Series in what was it, twenty one, Yeah, twenty one. 114 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: There were fifty thousand people outside and of course forty 115 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: five whatever is inside. I think they bumped it to 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: forty seven. The whole thing, the energy created and just 117 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: the the financial model. Another big stream of revenue around 118 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: the stadium, which you know I played in an air 119 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: with around stadium and ten thousand parking spaces around it. 120 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: This is the model that people are trying to figure 121 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: out that all the next stadiums and of every sport 122 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: are going to be modeled on this, and and people 123 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: if they don't have it, they're going to try to 124 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: retrofit some kind of mixed use facility near near the ballpark. 125 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: There are a lot of very jealous owners's the sport 126 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: that we have heard from that are looking at this 127 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: model and saying, not only is it beautiful and a 128 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: great fan experience, it's a cash cow because you can 129 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: own a small town that is dedicated to the sport. 130 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: Right. 131 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: And another little uh tidbit is is they don't have 132 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: to share that revenue. Yes, everything inside the ballpark is 133 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: shared and this is all Braves and Liberty media. So 134 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: they need to pay you more. Yes me, yes, I 135 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: keep telling people, you know, I played a day for 136 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: half of what they're making. 137 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: Of course half is twenty five million. 138 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 3: But it's also fought for them to be in this spot. 139 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: Well, no, it all, it all works together. They can 140 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: afford to bump their payroll, which when they opened, you know, 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: I don't. They're payrolls steadily gone up now liberty medias 142 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: thoughts about luxury tax and things like that. But the 143 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: point is it doesn't guarantee if you guys know, it 144 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee you a World Series championship. But to be competitive, 145 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: typically your salary structure needs to be near the top 146 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: top ten. There's always some exceptions to that. But since 147 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: the Braves have kind of created this thing, it all 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: blends together to pursuing the best players that they can 149 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and given the people the product that they deserve. There's 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: some other ball clubs I want to talk about that 151 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure how much they're investing in their 152 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: players and the product they're put on the field. 153 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at that. But the Braves are, 154 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: you know. 155 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Doing it great. This is incredible. The old Battery Atlanta. 156 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: And do you ever think when you're at the old 157 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 4: launching pad that this is what the Braves would turn into? 158 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 4: Because yeah, I mean, I told you the story I 159 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: came up one time. I grew up a Braves fan. Yeah, 160 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: And people that don't know this was Myah, you got him. 161 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: I was with my son. 162 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: We're in spring training Atlanta. 163 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: He's on the field and my son's with me, and 164 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 4: I was like, oh my gosh, and my son is like, dad, 165 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: who is that? 166 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: He was done?

So you know, like I. 317 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: Say, every gener is is better. These are better athletes. 318 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: These things these kids do. And and you know, I 319 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: was at the draft last night for a while watching 320 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: these high school kids, and it's a different it's a 321 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: it's a different brand of baseball when you play that 322 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: much as a kid and train you know, we were 323 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: told not to lift weights too heavy because we'd get 324 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: muscle bounds. I mean it was like, finally about mid eighties, 325 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: they got no, we should start lifting weights. 326 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 4: So I tell the story all the time. When I 327 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 4: first came up with the Twins, we didn't have a 328 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: strent coach or a weight room. 329 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, was like, do not touch a weight? 330 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Remember the Nautilus machine. Yeah, well we put some in 331 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: our little lobby area of the We didn't have a 332 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: weight room, but they stuck him in this little room 333 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: and Phil Nekro said on it. He looked around, he goes, 334 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: how do you turn this on? So we didn't even 335 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: know what we were supposed to do with him, but 336 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, so I guess my point is this generation 337 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: of all sports, you know, they train and they're taking 338 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, better care of themselves. They know understand diet 339 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: and hydration. I mean, they know, they know stuff that 340 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: we just you know, didn't think about the fields. Now, 341 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: we did have that technology, you know, we did. I 342 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: was in Fuller County Stadium one night. I looked down 343 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: and I did a double take at the ground. It 344 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: had been spray painted. 345 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: It's just. 346 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: It was dirt until you know, about fifteen minutes before 347 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the game and they spray painted it. So, uh, the 348 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: technology the fields obviously, radar and track man and everything. 349 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: It's completely different. But these athletes, they're they're incredible, all right. 350 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 4: So I have to bring up some that people always 351 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 4: I'm sure they've asked you a million times for another 352 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 4: Braves Hall of Famer Tom Glavin once was given the 353 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: order to hit you. 354 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: Did you have you guys talked about it. 355 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, it was Glad, Like I'm so sorry I had. 356 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: It was luckily Glavin and throw hard. 357 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, particularly I think Glad wanted to hit me, but 358 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: he didn't want to hurt me, I guess. So I'll 359 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 1: try to not make a long story, but my first 360 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: time back here as a Philly they had a thing 361 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: for me, and it was kind of weird because I 362 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: was in the Philly unifor you know, I wouldn't retired, 363 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: but they wanted to have a thing my first day back. 364 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: And we had a fight that night and uh with 365 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: with Otis Nixon. Otis charged mound, you know, spiked spiked 366 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: our picture. Well, we went back to play the Braves. 367 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: I'll try to make this quick went back to play 368 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: the Braids in Philly. 369 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: And it was the last time. 370 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: Remember we weren't in the same division. So we didn't 371 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: play him that much. It was our last thing about 372 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: the eighth inning of our last game of the series. 373 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: Roger McDowell, who, interestingly enough, as you know, ended up 374 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: being loved him. Yes, Roger hits Otis and Bobby, as 375 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Bobby would would do for out. He goes, we're hitting 376 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: the next guy up. We're hitting the next guy up, 377 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: and Glad walks down, looks at the line and he goes, Bobby, 378 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: it's Murph. 379 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: Bobby goes, I don't care who it is. I'm sure 380 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: he might have said something else. 381 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: We're hitt him. So Glam gets out there and I 382 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh. You know, it was just awkward. 383 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think he might throw at me, so, 384 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of kind of hanging loose. 385 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: And then he threw inside. They threw inside again, and 386 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: the third time he tried, I was out of the 387 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: batter spot. He's like, it was awkward. We talked after 388 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: the game. He goes, where if I I go, hey, 389 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: it's over. As one of those weird things that happens 390 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: in baseball. 391 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 4: That's like when Jim Tomy got hit by h a 392 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 4: guy and then he had to charge the Mount and 393 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 4: then they went to dinner because I think it was 394 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: he was with Philly. 395 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: It was Cormier the left hand.
