Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what with the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer Tim Kirkshon. I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshon and Dad.
Speaker 1: This is the most exciting time of the baseball season.
Speaker 2: This week right here.
Speaker 3: Right Jeff Pennant races are great, wild card races are tremendous,
Speaker 3: MVP Cy Young races. It's the best week of the
Speaker 3: regular season. There's no way around this. And we we
Speaker 3: are spending the most important week of the regular season
Speaker 3: at the beach. I went to the Harris teeter here
Speaker 3: the other day to get groceries for the family, and
Speaker 3: a guy comes up to me. I'm in there for
Speaker 3: like thirty seconds. A guy comes up to me, doesn't
Speaker 3: even say lo and just says, shouldn't you be at
Speaker 3: a game? And I'd been on the island for like
Speaker 3: an hour and that's the first thing anybody says to me.
Speaker 3: I feel so bad about this, But Jeff, explain the
Speaker 3: fathers who are here and now the grandfather you caull
Speaker 3: you me. We've been coming here for fifty years.
Speaker 1: It's our family vacation, a great fifty years. Five best
Speaker 1: friends from elementary school. I've been going to the Outer
Speaker 1: Banks and it's just such an important trip. And you know,
Speaker 1: when you're doing with five families, right, that now becomes
Speaker 1: thirty two people in one house because fathers became grandfathers.
Speaker 1: There's a ton of kids running around, so you try
Speaker 1: to find the best time for everybody. And guess who
Speaker 1: had the last vote on when the best time for
Speaker 1: everybody was? Old Tim and Jeff kirkshon over here. So
Speaker 1: we brought our travel equipment with us. We're doing the
Speaker 1: podcast ad in a movie theater that's in the basement
Speaker 1: of this place, which.
Speaker 3: Is not a house, it's a hotel. It seats like
Speaker 3: it sleeps like forty five people, right, And how many
Speaker 3: do we have at the top here? We have thirty I.
Speaker 1: Think when we have the most amount of people, I
Speaker 1: think I did the math. I think it's thirty two.
Speaker 1: I think at the peak of everybody being here. So
Speaker 1: we're just so happy to be here and we're keeping
Speaker 1: up with you.
Speaker 3: We've got a.
Speaker 1: Great interview tomorrow with Kevin Brown. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: in a little bit, so the podcast will still go
Speaker 1: off as usual Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
Speaker 1: You'll just see or hear us from Beautiful Kill Devil Hills,
Speaker 1: North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Right, and in the spirit of where we are, Jeff,
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna elevate the team. Tim we usually
Speaker 3: put it at the end of the episode. We're gonna
Speaker 3: bring it up to the top because we're at the beach.
Speaker 3: So I haven't told you this. What do you think
Speaker 3: the theme is for this week? It's fairly obvious, the Beach,
Speaker 3: the All Beach Team. Okay, We're gonna start with our
Speaker 3: pitching staff because the pictures are best represented the All
Speaker 3: Beach Team. Our first picture is Matt Beach. How about that.
Speaker 3: We've got Ernie Shore perfect. We've got Doc Ellis who
Speaker 3: actually used on the All Dental Team, and I have
Speaker 3: to tell you wait, we're gonna need him next week
Speaker 3: for the All Beach Team. Bobby C s spelled s
Speaker 3: A Y, Stephen schll s h E l L and
Speaker 3: Son Wu Kim. So those are the six pictures that
Speaker 3: we chose. We could have picked a lot more, but
Speaker 3: I've got to keep it six, all right. Chris Coast
Speaker 3: is our catcher perfect. This is where it gets a
Speaker 3: little repetitive. But you know, Jeff, you can't repeat names
Speaker 3: no matter what. Those are the rules of team, Tim.
Speaker 1: Real quick, go through your pictures again, in it with
Speaker 1: your eyes and tell me blank to coast, what would
Speaker 1: be the best picture?
Speaker 2: Catcher sun coast.
Speaker 3: Sun coast, right, might be the best one, right, Sea coast, right,
Speaker 3: shore coast, No, right, all right. Jerry Sands is the
Speaker 3: first basement. Jackson Holiday, you know you're on and Ekle
Speaker 3: Craig and Toronto calls it a holiday. We call it
Speaker 3: a vacation. Same idea. Heine Sand, So we've had Jack Sands.
Speaker 3: Heine Sand is our shortstop. And again we're really pushing
Speaker 3: it here. Sandy Alomar Senior Sandy Yeah, is our third basement,
Speaker 3: even though he was mostly a second baseman. And our
Speaker 3: three outfielders Drew Waters, Champ Summers and Chuck Tanner. I
Speaker 3: look for a guy named tan but I couldn't find him,
Speaker 3: so Chuck Tanner is going to have to do that.
Speaker 3: Jeff is the All Beach team.
Speaker 1: Well done, And I want to give a shout out
Speaker 1: to one lovely couple we go to the beach with
Speaker 1: every year, Tim and Kim daily. They listen to the
Speaker 1: podcast and or watch on YouTube every single week. Dad
Speaker 1: and Kim looked at me and said it brings me
Speaker 1: so much joy. I'm like the crazy woman walking through
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, laughing hysterically listening to the podcast.
Speaker 2: And then she hits me with I don't.
Speaker 1: Understand half the things you're talking about, but boy is
Speaker 1: it fun.
Speaker 3: Well, that's good. And Tim Daly, Kim's husband also goes
Speaker 3: by pop Pop. So his real name is Tim like mine,
Speaker 3: his grandfather name is pop Pop. So the number of
Speaker 3: times I've turned because someone is calling for pop Up
Speaker 3: but they're not calling for me Tim, well, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: three three kids call me pop up, and there's seven
Speaker 3: kids here that call him pop Up. So it's been
Speaker 3: a little confusing, but it's been great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I multiple times when you two have been together,
Speaker 1: I just go pop Pop Pop Pop, because all four
Speaker 1: pops are.
Speaker 3: Taken care of that, right, absolutely.
Speaker 1: All right, dad, Well, let's jump into the takeaways across
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: There is so much happening right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we have to go back a few days
Speaker 3: because it was that important Friday night, Clayton Kershaw pitched
Speaker 3: what will be his final regular season game at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 3: and it was an amazing event. Of course, let's understand
Speaker 3: who Clayton Kershaw is Jeff. He's the best active pitcher.
Speaker 3: He's the best pitcher of this generation. With all due
Speaker 3: respect to Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander or our first
Speaker 3: ballot Hall of Famers, the best picture of this era
Speaker 3: that we're in right now is Clayton Kershaw. He has
Speaker 3: the lowest era, Jeff, of any pitcher since nineteen twenty
Speaker 3: live ball era with at least twenty five one hundred innings.
Speaker 3: Pitch wow. And the key is Jeff. He has been
Speaker 3: great this year. This isn't a swan song, and he's
Speaker 3: going out on the bottom. He's going out on top.
Speaker 3: And now we can only hope, for his sake and
Speaker 3: for the Dodger's sake that they have a great postseason.
Speaker 3: But they finished with a wonderful, wonderful tribute to Clayton
Speaker 3: Kershaw and so our cousin, my cousin, your aunt, Julie Schmodian.
Speaker 3: Julie was there, and Julie Townsend her married name, and
Speaker 3: she must have texted me five times during the night,
Speaker 3: and one was just I can't stop crying, mist I mean,
Speaker 3: that's how important this was. And Jeff, again not to
Speaker 3: be corny about this, but he's pitched his entire career
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers. He is one of the greatest pitchers
Speaker 3: in Dodger history. Maybe only Sandy Kofax was better, and
Speaker 3: that's debatable. And he's such a good guy that when
Speaker 3: when he retired, like the final night, you know, people
Speaker 3: came back. You know who hadn't played with him in years.
Speaker 3: Austin Barnes, one of his catcher, came back. Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 3: the quarterback. Whole came because he grew up in the
Speaker 3: same neighborhood and went to the same high school as
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw. So this is why baseball is such a
Speaker 3: beautiful sport. Is we didn't just send off such a
Speaker 3: great pitcher. We sent off such a great guy. And
Speaker 3: that's that was really nice. Oh ye see, and let
Speaker 3: me finish it. Let me let's see if see how
Speaker 3: well you can finish the Remember the anagram that I
Speaker 3: used for Clayton Kershaw, there are two ways to use.
Speaker 3: What's the anagram of Clayton Kershaw's name? Now that he
Speaker 3: became against the Giants in that game, he became the
Speaker 3: all time strikeout leader against the Giants, passing Warren Spawn
Speaker 3: So there's a hook to this ridiculous anagram that I
Speaker 3: came up with.
Speaker 1: Ci Hero wants K right la la ci Hero wants K.
Speaker 3: Jeff very poor la k Hero wants cy. Yes, I
Speaker 3: always forget the la. Yeah, yeah, that's all right, Jeff.
Speaker 3: That was really good. You can remember that. I've only
Speaker 3: used it like ten times.
Speaker 1: I mean I really am a slow to remember these things.
Speaker 1: But when you repeat him, I mean I could. I
Speaker 1: could repeat every line from Get Smart at this point
Speaker 1: because we use him so many times.
Speaker 3: Wait, do we have Jeremy Schappa on the air?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Right, next week?
Speaker 1: That's next week, a week from tomorrow on the podcast.
Speaker 3: Wow, but make sure you tune in for Kevin Brown tomorrow,
Speaker 3: broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles. Hilariously funny, so great, brilliant
Speaker 3: broadcaster and does it's the greatest Jim Palmer impersonation I've
Speaker 3: ever seen, Jeff, Have you and I laughed that consistently
Speaker 3: hard at the same time, And when Kevin Brown did
Speaker 3: Jim Palmer, it's.
Speaker 2: That and Aaron Boone's impressions. Laughing that hard? I mean
Speaker 2: that was last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, so this season, I don't think you and
Speaker 1: I have laughed as hard than we did at that moment.
Speaker 3: Very good.
Speaker 1: Can I also say that Aunt Julie does she miss
Speaker 1: an important game? Wasn't she at the Kobe eighty six
Speaker 1: point game? Eighty one point game?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Her and her son Brett, And Brett heard her son,
Speaker 3: my nephew. I went to his wedding last year. He's
Speaker 3: caught like ten foul balls at a game. Then he
Speaker 3: goes to it, you know, an obscure Laker game, and
Speaker 3: Kobe goes for eighty one and then they show up
Speaker 3: at Otani does these amazing things. So yeah, So Julie
Speaker 3: is a good luck charm. So if she keeps going
Speaker 3: to the games, the Dodgers have a chance to do
Speaker 3: something really good. All right, stay on the West Coast.
Speaker 3: Mike Trout finally hit his four hundredth home run. Mike Trout. Now,
Speaker 3: let's be clear, Jeff, Mike Trout is hitting in the
Speaker 3: two twenties this year, and he's not the player he
Speaker 3: used to be, and he's had injury issues, but let's
Speaker 3: still be clear, he's one of the greatest players we've
Speaker 3: ever seen. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. The
Speaker 3: amazing thing to me is and Bill Chuck pointed this
Speaker 3: out for us. Bill Chuck from Billy Ball, We Love
Speaker 3: Bill that when Trout got to four hundred, he had
Speaker 3: two hundred homers at home and two hundred homers on
Speaker 3: the road. So Neil ay Or, I don't know how
Speaker 3: to pronounce it, sorry Neil, but he also texted us
Speaker 3: a great game or what that? When Fred McGriff and
Speaker 3: Jason Giambi got to four hundred homers, they each had
Speaker 3: two hundred at home two hundred on the road. Now,
Speaker 3: I didn't check with Frank on the Elias. Well, I
Speaker 3: could have checked that in five minutes by myself, but
Speaker 3: that's not the point. We have people calling in on
Speaker 3: these things. And what did you You got an email
Speaker 3: from somebody else?
Speaker 1: Ye Woodward, member of the family, always messaging with us.
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor hit a home run on Sunday for the Mets.
Speaker 1: In his career, he has two hundred and seventy six
Speaker 1: home runs, one hundred and thirty eight with Cleveland and
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight with the New York Mets,
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight at home and one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty eight on the road.
Speaker 3: Jeff, that is so Bisarre.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, John Woodward found that guy is a
Speaker 1: huge for that he is he really.
Speaker 3: Are so helpful? Who are are emailing us because they
Speaker 3: have critical information?
Speaker 1: Isn't it great when we don't have to do as
Speaker 1: much prep because they do it for us out.
Speaker 3: On the beach and they're looking up two hundred and
Speaker 3: two hundred.
Speaker 2: So okay, stop burying yourself in the sand. You're okay, feel.
Speaker 3: Terrible about it.
Speaker 2: I know you do.
Speaker 3: Or of course plays for the Mets And at this
Speaker 3: sitting at the moment we are taping this on Monday,
Speaker 3: the Mets would not make the playoffs, which is just inconceivable, Jeff.
Speaker 3: In the middle of June, they had the best record
Speaker 3: in baseball. They were twenty one games for five hundred.
Speaker 3: So the last team to not make the playoffs when
Speaker 3: they were at least twenty one games over five hundred.
Speaker 3: I thought it was further back than this, but the Indians,
Speaker 3: Guardians whatever we're calling them, twenty nineteen were the last
Speaker 3: team to do that, and Jeff, this is amazing. Also,
Speaker 3: the Tigers might not make the playoffs also because now
Speaker 3: they're in a fight to win the division, and if
Speaker 3: they don't win the division. They might not win a
Speaker 3: wild card because they just got swept at home six
Speaker 3: game series first time since twenty nineteen. The Tigers were
Speaker 3: twenty five games over five hundred. So there are two
Speaker 3: teams this year twenty one over and twenty five over
Speaker 3: in theory who might not make the playoffs. It just
Speaker 3: shows you, Jeff, what we were saying right at the beginning,
Speaker 3: how great this last week of the season is. I mean,
Speaker 3: we're not rooting for bad things like this, but this
Speaker 3: is some mild history being made. And you know, the
Speaker 3: Mets fans are going to be outraged they don't make
Speaker 3: the playoffs after being twenty one games over because the
Speaker 3: Reds are tied with them as of Monday morning, and
Speaker 3: the Reds own the tiebreaker over the.
Speaker 1: Over the Mets and nine of the last ten games
Speaker 1: the Guardians have won nine of the last ten games,
Speaker 1: Detroit has lost nine of the last ten games. Seattle
Speaker 1: has won as well.
Speaker 2: So we're seeing.
Speaker 1: This is the time to go on a run. And
Speaker 1: they took over the division from the Astros.
Speaker 3: This is what makes this time so exciting, right And
Speaker 3: in this taping, the Mariners had won fourteen out of
Speaker 3: fifteen to take a three game lead in the division,
Speaker 3: which is amazing. And if the Guardians come back and
Speaker 3: win the division, because they were fifteen and a half
Speaker 3: games back, they will set the record for the furthest
Speaker 3: amount back to come back and win a division or
Speaker 3: a league. How about that? That's what we're talking.
Speaker 1: Incredible. I mean that clubhouse has really turned around. And
Speaker 1: you know, at the trade deadline you kind of looked
Speaker 1: at both THEA and Cleveland and you were like, are
Speaker 1: they not really?
Speaker 2: You know what's going to happen?
Speaker 3: Both out multiple times? Again, this is the beauty of baseball, Jeff,
Speaker 3: But this is the biggest beauty of twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: just how unpredictable it has been.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to throw you, but also the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: we all thought that what is going on there? A
Speaker 2: game out of the wild.
Speaker 3: We talked about them last week. Also, they they traded
Speaker 3: at the they didn't acquire, they traded trade deadline, and
Speaker 3: here they're coming back. Tory Lavello a great job that
Speaker 3: he's done.
Speaker 2: All right, Dad, should we jump into the courtchins?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: So we had this was pointed out by several people,
Speaker 3: including me. We had a three eight six force out
Speaker 3: the other day and people were asking me, have you
Speaker 3: ever seen anything quite like this? And I don't think
Speaker 3: I have. So the Reds are playing the Cubs. Pete
Speaker 3: crow Armstrong is at the plate. He hits a line
Speaker 3: drive that hits off the first baseman's mitt of Spencer Steer.
Speaker 3: What's the US and on mits and gloves.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Only catchers and first basemen have mits. Everybody else
Speaker 1: they don't have what they don't have the fingers fingers
Speaker 1: right if you put on right in.
Speaker 2: The winter, you don't have fingers if you have gloves on.
Speaker 3: So it hits off Spencer Steer's mitt. It then hits
Speaker 3: the runner and then the ball goes into center field
Speaker 3: and TJ. Friedel in center field picks up the ball
Speaker 3: and throws Moises Ballistero's out at second. So Pete crow
Speaker 3: Armstrong gets a rocket to first, doesn't get a hit
Speaker 3: out of it. The ball actually hits the ground, still
Speaker 3: doesn't get a hit out of it because Ballistero's is
Speaker 3: forced out at seconds, so Pete crow Armstrong gets no
Speaker 3: hit on that. It goes as a three eight six
Speaker 3: force out. How weird is that?
Speaker 2: That is very strange?
Speaker 3: And now how weird is this The Royals beat the
Speaker 3: Blue Jays twenty to one in a game just the
Speaker 3: other day, of course, and earlier this year, the Blue
Speaker 3: Jays beat the Rockies twenty to one. So the Blue
Speaker 3: Jays won a game and lost a game by nineteen
Speaker 3: runs in the same season. So I called Frank from
Speaker 3: the Elias. He's so helpful. The twenty eighteen Mets and
Speaker 3: the twenty eighteen Phillies are the only teams ever to
Speaker 3: win a game by nineteen and lose a game by
Speaker 3: nineteen or more in the same season. So it's only
Speaker 3: been done two other times, and it was done in
Speaker 3: the same year twenty eighteen, and the Mets that year
Speaker 3: beat the Phillies in one of those games. Oh wow, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so that's weird. But no team has ever played a
Speaker 3: I mean twenty to one. It is kind of an
Speaker 3: interesting score, right, So no team has ever won a
Speaker 3: game and lost a game by the exact twenty to
Speaker 3: one score in the history.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: And we're saying in the history of baseball, which is
Speaker 1: currently running at seven hundred and ninety four years, right,
Speaker 1: think about that, that's how long the game's been around.
Speaker 2: It At least it feels.
Speaker 3: That long, right, Okay, So in that game, the Royals
Speaker 3: got twenty seven hits. I was surprised by this, and
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays got three. So they got out hit
Speaker 3: by twenty four hits in a game. The last time
Speaker 3: any team did that was in ninety four. The Phillies
Speaker 3: scored twenty eight more runs than the Louisville Colonels ninety four, Jeff, Now,
Speaker 3: what's the answer to that.
Speaker 2: The Colonels, right, what about them?
Speaker 3: Eighteen ninety four?
Speaker 2: Oh eighteen?
Speaker 3: Of course, the Louisville Colonels, as we know, right where
Speaker 3: there were still Civil War colonels alive. The Colonels were playing, right,
Speaker 3: and we have a note that goes all the way
Speaker 3: back to that. All right, speaking of the Phillies, Taiwan Walker,
Speaker 3: Phillies are your team now, Jeff.
Speaker 2: Okay, we've adopted them, right.
Speaker 3: Taiwan Walker started and a newcomer came in to relieve him.
Speaker 3: Do you remember who the the brand new pitcher, that
Speaker 3: the veteran pitcher that they Walker Buller. Yes, yeah, So
Speaker 3: Taiwan Walker was followed by Walker Buller, right, not the
Speaker 3: most unusual thing. My favorite one on all these was
Speaker 3: when the Blue Jays had a bullpen that included David
Speaker 3: Bush and Brandon League. And multiple times David Bush was
Speaker 3: relieved by Brandon League, so we had the Bush Bush
Speaker 3: League bullpen. We love that.
Speaker 2: That's Bush League, right.
Speaker 3: And last thing, Jeff Aaron Judge drew his one hundredth
Speaker 3: intentional walk of his career, all of them of course
Speaker 3: with the Yankees. Now we started charting officially intentional walks
Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty five. So the only two Yankees that
Speaker 3: have had more intentional walks in their career, so this
Speaker 3: doesn't include Ruth or Garriger DiMaggio. John Mattingly had one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six and Mickey Mantle had one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty six. And now Judge has his one hundredth
Speaker 3: intentional walk. All right, Now, let's see if you can
Speaker 3: remember the amazing statistic about Barry Bonds. Just give me
Speaker 3: a rough idea how many intentional walks Barry Bonds had
Speaker 3: in his career? Now again, play this whole career since
Speaker 3: we've been charting, right, Just take a guess, Jeff six,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say three fifty eighty eight.
Speaker 2: Didn't he have one hundred in a season?
Speaker 3: Yes, two thousand and four Jeff, he had one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty wow in one season two thousand and four,
Speaker 3: So airon Judge.
Speaker 1: For people who might not know Dad, give a rough
Speaker 1: estimate roughly of how many at bats a how many
Speaker 1: played appearances an everyday player would have in a season,
Speaker 1: well roughly six hundred, six hundred see one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty in a season. So basically one out of four times,
Speaker 1: one out of five, one out.
Speaker 3: Of five times he gets intentionally walk, not walk. Think
Speaker 3: about no one in the American walked one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty times that season, any in any way walk walked intentionally, unintentionally, combined,
Speaker 3: So that that just shows you who Barry Bonds is
Speaker 3: and as great as Aaron Judges. And we don't intentionally
Speaker 3: walk people today, Jeff, like we used to. But it's
Speaker 3: pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Even though it's easier to do.
Speaker 3: These areas had more twenty more in one season than
Speaker 3: Aaron Judges had in his career. It just shows you
Speaker 3: how amazing it is what Barry Bonds did.
Speaker 1: Coming up next on is this a great game? Or
Speaker 1: what we've got on this date in baseball history, Dad
Speaker 1: brought some cards from the bathroom. Yes, we'll explain we'll
Speaker 1: explain more. And then I finally, one week late, have
Speaker 1: my team Jeff that I have created and hopefully, hopefully
Speaker 1: it lives up to your standard. Dad, we'll find out
Speaker 1: it's all coming up next.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to is this a game or what we
Speaker 2: are recording?
Speaker 1: In a movie theater in the basement of a beach
Speaker 1: house in Outer Banks, North Carolina. Dad, give your little
Speaker 1: disclaimer before?
Speaker 3: Can you give it again? I've already apologized ten times.
Speaker 3: I've already acknowledged my guilt in this room last night.
Speaker 3: This is why coming to the beach matters. I watched
Speaker 3: the movie Coco for the first time. Oh you watched
Speaker 3: I'd never seen that.
Speaker 2: I've been telling you to watch that. Did you watch
Speaker 2: the whole thing?
Speaker 3: I did? And you cried out loud, out loud, out loud.
Speaker 1: Dad, I watched that movie. Emily was my wife. Emily
Speaker 1: was a dog sitting for this one family.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: This was right when we started dating, and I went
Speaker 2: over in.
Speaker 1: The morning and the night before we had started watching Coco,
Speaker 1: but then I had to go, so we cut it
Speaker 1: off halfway through. And then I got there in the
Speaker 1: morning to pick her up, and she was like, I'm
Speaker 1: getting ready, and I said, I'm gonna finish this movie.
Speaker 1: I watched the final thirty minutes and we had just
Speaker 1: started going out, and I am bawling my eyes out
Speaker 1: on a strange couch while my then girlfriend, who I
Speaker 1: don't know that well at this point, is getting ready
Speaker 1: for our day and I am just bawling my eyes out.
Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, it's a story about
Speaker 1: the Mexican tradition of the afterlife right and keeping their
Speaker 1: memory alive, and it all kind of centers around this
Speaker 1: little boy. But the little boy's great grandmother, Coco, is
Speaker 1: she has Alzheimer's or dementia of some sorts, and she
Speaker 1: is having trouble remembering her father's memory. And there's a
Speaker 1: whole backstory as to that.
Speaker 3: But and I watched it, Jeff with Carson, my four
Speaker 3: year old grandson, sitting right in front of me, and
Speaker 3: he came back and sat in my lap briefly, and
Speaker 3: after it was over, walked back to Kelly's room, my
Speaker 3: daughter's room, your sister's room, and Carson told us what happened,
Speaker 3: and she's and he said to Kelly, that reminded me
Speaker 3: of Nana and Pop, just my mother and father, Carson
Speaker 3: knew that. Yeah, he's four years old.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, my grandmother, my dad's mom, moved
Speaker 1: in with us when I was fifteen years old and
Speaker 1: she went through dementia and Alzheimer's and that.
Speaker 2: Story was just so it was just so emotional.
Speaker 3: It's so close to Homer year old connecting the dots
Speaker 3: there and recognizing that Pop Pop has something to do
Speaker 3: with this movie because his mom is Nna and his
Speaker 3: dad was Pop.
Speaker 1: How about that, Dad, I'm telling you, how many years
Speaker 1: have I told you to watch that?
Speaker 3: I know?
Speaker 2: And I'm so glad you did.
Speaker 3: I know we were watching it. I just they said
Speaker 3: we're watching a movie. So I took over. All right,
Speaker 3: you're not that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to start Pop. I love that movie and
Speaker 2: the music of the movie is great.
Speaker 3: Okay. This day in baseball history, Chuck Klein, Philly's right fielder,
Speaker 3: recorded his forty fourth outfield assist. So nineteen thirty that
Speaker 3: was the first year that we had a forty forty guy.
Speaker 3: Forty homers, forty outfield assists that no one counts those things.
Speaker 3: But the interesting part of that, the first forty forty
Speaker 3: guy in Major league history was Jose Knseko forty homers,
Speaker 3: forty steals, the more traditional forty forty. And he got
Speaker 3: to forty forty on this date in nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 3: So fifty eight years after Chuck kleinb became well, he
Speaker 3: was already a forty forty guy. Jose Kinseco became the
Speaker 3: first official forty forty guy in Major league history. And
Speaker 3: this is amazing too, Jeff, speaking of two hundred. Okay,
Speaker 3: on this date in nineteen ninety, Gary Gayetti hit his
Speaker 3: two hundredth major league home run, and he hit it
Speaker 3: off of Charlie Huff. Nine years four days earlier, Gary
Speaker 3: Gayetti hit his first homer. And who do you think
Speaker 3: he hit it off? Now, Charlie Huff.
Speaker 2: He's got his number?
Speaker 3: How great?
Speaker 1: Is this?
Speaker 2: So crazy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And I was at the one when he hit
Speaker 3: the one off of Charlie Huffs, So that was pretty
Speaker 3: yeah all right? And on uh this, we have a
Speaker 3: couple of birthdays this state. In nineteen fifty two, Jim
Speaker 3: Morrison was born. Pretty good major league infielder. He could hit.
Speaker 3: Not Jim Morrison get this from the doors?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah?
Speaker 3: How about that Pop Pop Wait to Go Dad musical reference? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Jim Morrison loved Jim Morrison, but he's the one that
Speaker 3: got Ambidextra's and Amphibious mixed up. So he said, oh,
Speaker 3: that guy's amphibious. And then he I'm not sure if
Speaker 3: he was joking, but he said I think he can
Speaker 3: throw underwater, which is not the definition of right. All right.
Speaker 3: Nineteen sixty nine, Jeff Cirillo was born really good hitter
Speaker 3: for the Brewers and then for the Rockies. He was
Speaker 3: a really good hitter. And you're if you if you
Speaker 3: get this, I've told you this multiple times, I'll give
Speaker 3: you one thousand dollars. Jeff Cirillo went to the All
Speaker 3: Star Game the first time and till he got on
Speaker 3: the wrong plane on the wrong plan.
Speaker 2: He said, hey, aren't you Jeff Soirillo? He said yeah.
Speaker 2: He goes, aren't you playing for the All Star Game?
Speaker 3: And he goes yeah.
Speaker 2: He says, well, this plane's going to New York. You
Speaker 2: got to go to Cleveland.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, Jeff. You're actually listening to all of
Speaker 3: my stupid stories and all you need is a brief clue.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Jeff Sorilla, poor Jeff Sorilla, was so excited.
Speaker 1: To just get recognized on the plane.
Speaker 2: So his highest moment was led his lowestue.
Speaker 3: Going to the All Star Game. He goes, yeah, well
Speaker 3: it's in Cleveland. This play is going to New York. Yes,
Speaker 3: I've told that story probably too many times, I know,
Speaker 3: but I finally locked in. You get this one. I'm
Speaker 3: not kidding. I'm on a high right now. I remember
Speaker 3: you left some million dollars if you can get this
Speaker 3: phone in this story, the story I have. Nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 3: Pete Harnish was born former Major league pitcher, went to Fordham,
Speaker 3: played for the Orioles Astros, Reds, few others. Pete Harnish,
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a giant clue. How did
Speaker 3: he earn extra money in college?
Speaker 2: Pete Harnished? He didn't cut hair.
Speaker 3: He went to Fordam, so that's a downtown New York college.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what he did.
Speaker 3: Dad good, you just saved me a millillion dollars to
Speaker 3: make extra money in college or somebody. Pete Hardish, I
Speaker 3: love this used to appear in police lineups. Oh that's right.
Speaker 3: So he would go in like eleven o'clock at night
Speaker 3: and face the camera, then face the other way, as
Speaker 3: he told me, he said, he said, thirty bucks for
Speaker 3: regular case, fifty bucks for a murder case. Can't make
Speaker 3: this stuff up now, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's like there's so many great side hustles. I
Speaker 1: know my father in law he gave plasma all the time,
Speaker 1: and he would use that as you know, money to
Speaker 1: go join his pickleball league or whatever it might be.
Speaker 2: Getting in a police lineup though, and maybe being wrongly
Speaker 2: accused of murder. I don't know, I'm doing that looks
Speaker 2: for a murder case.
Speaker 3: I love it. It's so good. All right, Jeff, we
Speaker 3: have a new feature we've only used once, and I
Speaker 3: have to explain it. You know, Three Coins and a
Speaker 3: Fountain is a famous song Steve Martin sings at others,
Speaker 3: of course. So I was going through the bathroom at
Speaker 3: home in the basement the other day and there's a
Speaker 3: stack of baseball cards. There must be three hundred of
Speaker 3: them in the bathroom. So I just reached in and
Speaker 3: picked out three. So that's the new This is the
Speaker 3: new segment we're gonna do at least once a week.
Speaker 2: You know what's also in that bathroom?
Speaker 3: In the bathroom, what.
Speaker 1: Is a picture of cal Ripken's two one, three, one
Speaker 1: three one taken on my wife's actual birthday.
Speaker 2: We learned that the hard one.
Speaker 3: Have you told Emily that we forgot as we did
Speaker 3: this cal Ripken podcast that she was actually born? That
Speaker 3: was she offended.
Speaker 2: Guess how much she cares?
Speaker 1: Not as much, she said, Jeff, great, can you go
Speaker 1: pick that up for me? I said, okay, Now she
Speaker 1: thought it was crazy too, And then I talked to
Speaker 1: her parents about it, and they said, yeah, we were
Speaker 1: a little occupied having twins that day.
Speaker 2: So I understand.
Speaker 3: Okay, understood.
Speaker 1: And they're San Diego people. They're Tony Gwynn threw and through.
Speaker 1: They're San Diego Padre fans. That's what they love.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right. Three cards in a fountain, Jeff, Okay,
Speaker 3: these are the These are the three that I picked out.
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't go through twenty and say, let
Speaker 3: me pick out three that I can tell a story about.
Speaker 3: These are the three cards I picked. Now, the first
Speaker 3: one involves a swear word, but we're gonna have to
Speaker 3: bleep it out. But the first one is ron Oster.
Speaker 3: Ron Oaster was a good second baseman for the Reds
Speaker 3: for several years, but one year he well, he didn't
Speaker 3: draw a whole lot of walks. And one year he
Speaker 3: had a really long stretch without drawing a walk, and
Speaker 3: one of the writers went to him and said, Ron, like,
Speaker 3: you don't walk very often. It has been X number
Speaker 3: of it bats since you walked. And he looked at him,
Speaker 3: and Ron Oster is a great dude, but he says,
Speaker 3: if I wanted a walk, I would have been a
Speaker 3: fucking postman. Pretty good comeback.
Speaker 2: That's all right, Well, we'll bleep it out.
Speaker 3: You get it's bleeped. Sometimes the F word must be used.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was younger, your your second book,
Speaker 1: What You're did your second oh four, yeah sounds right.
Speaker 3: I forget ish okay.
Speaker 1: Around two thousand and four, so I was like ten
Speaker 1: or eleven years old, and I remember reading it and
Speaker 1: you quoting baseball players or managers saying bad words, F words,
Speaker 1: and so, because you're right, dad, you're a journalist.
Speaker 3: Times it is important to the sentence.
Speaker 1: And I remember because I had never heard you curse
Speaker 1: at that point, because.
Speaker 3: I wasn't I was quoting somebody I know. Well, that's
Speaker 3: what you explained to me. You said, Jeffrey, I didn't
Speaker 3: say the word. I was quoting somebody else. Say it,
Speaker 3: and then our dog ate your baseball glove. And then
Speaker 3: I heard you say multiple curse words all back to
Speaker 3: back to back to bad. That was bad again. The
Speaker 3: F word is important only like in important times like
Speaker 3: for for for emphasis or pain, right, and nobody uses
Speaker 3: the F word better than al Pacino better. Sometimes you
Speaker 3: just have to use all right.
Speaker 2: Enough of that because we don't know with fingernails right, right.
Speaker 3: It's the difference.
Speaker 1: Between between winning and losing and dying.
Speaker 3: That's a great movie. It was a great speech, what
Speaker 3: a great movie, all right.
Speaker 1: The last guy who should be just looking at him
Speaker 1: as a football coach, he didn't even look like a
Speaker 1: football coach.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. Our second one is Dante Boschettember
Speaker 3: of the Angels. That's when he started his career. Of course,
Speaker 3: went on to the Rockies and had a really boy,
Speaker 3: he had some great years with the Rockies.
Speaker 2: Of course, he's the dad of Bobachett.
Speaker 3: And I remember I was doing a story for Sports
Speaker 3: Illustrated on Dante Bochette and I was kind of following
Speaker 3: him around for a little while. So I said, so
Speaker 3: can I where are you going after the game? You know,
Speaker 3: and he goes, I'm going to a I'm going to
Speaker 3: a matchbox car like fair, like a collector's thing, and
Speaker 3: he says, of matchbox cars, it's a major league player
Speaker 3: who just got three hits and hit a homer in
Speaker 3: a major league game and he went to a matchbox
Speaker 3: card display and like bought a bunch of cars. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is refreshing because you hear stories like Dante Bishet,
Speaker 1: great Major League baseball player, Keith Hernandez who should be
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, playing stratamatic by himself like these
Speaker 1: just because they play the game doesn't mean they aren't
Speaker 1: as nerdy as we are when it comes to certain things.
Speaker 3: He really personalizes these guys. But I remember more in
Speaker 3: doing that story with Dante Bichett. This is in the
Speaker 3: middle of his great years with the Rockies. He looked
Speaker 3: at me and he was dead serious. He goes every
Speaker 3: day that I come to the ballpark, I wonder, is
Speaker 3: today the last day that I'll be able to hit
Speaker 3: in the big leagues. That's how hard the skill is. Jeff,
Speaker 3: And maybe this was just his defense mechanism to just
Speaker 3: make sure he showed up and not take this for granted,
Speaker 3: but he really believed it. Today might be the last
Speaker 3: day that I'll be able to hit in the big league,
Speaker 3: so I better make the best of it. Do you
Speaker 3: really think a great NBA jump shooter ever goes to
Speaker 3: the arena in his prime and says, boy, I hope
Speaker 3: I can make it three tonight and nothing against NBA
Speaker 3: three point shooters. Like nobody, very few people love basketball
Speaker 3: as much as I do. I understand the science and
Speaker 3: the philosophy of shooting a basketball. It's like two things
Speaker 3: in the world I understand. But I'm telling you, the
Speaker 3: degree of difficulty of baseball is what makes Dante Boschett
Speaker 3: go to the ballpark and say, is today the last
Speaker 3: day I'll be able to hit in the big league.
Speaker 1: Who was the player who was on a really, really
Speaker 1: bad streak and said I didn't think I was ever
Speaker 1: going to get a hit.
Speaker 3: I was Frank Robinson his second year in the major leagues.
Speaker 3: Frank Robinson might be the most confident hitter I've ever
Speaker 3: met in my life. And after one of the great
Speaker 3: rookie years ever, he told me he was zero for
Speaker 3: twenty five his second year, and he looked at me
Speaker 3: and said, I didn't think I was ever going to
Speaker 3: get another hit, And that's that's real life, right, that's
Speaker 3: and mister president, you have no idea, right right. And
Speaker 3: Jeff Sarilla I mentioned earlier. I loved that guy, but
Speaker 3: he he was a little too hard on himself. And
Speaker 3: this is a compliment, but he would go four for
Speaker 3: five in a game, which he did more than once,
Speaker 3: and he would fret about the out that he made.
Speaker 3: Instead of saying, got four knocks today, he would fret,
Speaker 3: like what happened in that fifth at bat? This is
Speaker 3: the difference. This is why these guys are as great
Speaker 3: as they are.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I felt bad for Kyle Schwarber when
Speaker 1: he only hit four homers and and he was facing
Speaker 1: a position player on the final one and he popped
Speaker 1: out to the short stop.
Speaker 2: And all he was thinking was how did I not
Speaker 2: hit that one out of there? He hit four homers?
Speaker 2: Shover It's okay.
Speaker 3: Old pictures, right, all right? Speaking of real pictures, the
Speaker 3: last one is walking Andrew Hard one of one of
Speaker 3: my favorite pictures that I ever covered over the years,
Speaker 3: pitched in the eighty two World Series. FA He was
Speaker 3: a funny guy. He famously said once and I used
Speaker 3: something like this all the time. What makes baseball is
Speaker 3: you just have no idea what's going to happen next.
Speaker 3: So he said you could sum up baseball in one word,
Speaker 3: you never know. So people explained, well, that's actually three
Speaker 3: words walking. Then he said, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: you never know. So back then we used to we
Speaker 3: used to say baseball you never know in one word.
Speaker 3: We love it. So so Joaquin Andahar, all right, what's
Speaker 3: the we talked about Jim Palmer earlier today? What is
Speaker 3: one of Jim Palmer's great claims to fame? Pitched fourth
Speaker 3: almost four thousand innings and.
Speaker 2: Never gave up a Grand Slam?
Speaker 3: Right, Joaquin and Owhar pitched over two thousand innings, never
Speaker 3: gave up a Grand Slam, but he hit one. Wow
Speaker 3: about that. Gary Peters, another pitcher from way back, pitched
Speaker 3: almost pitched two thousand innings and never gave up a
Speaker 3: Grand Slam, but he hit one. I mean, again't, Jeff,
Speaker 3: how did we explain that only in baseball can that happen?
Speaker 1: You know, Dad, one day, if I continue the Baseball
Speaker 1: podcast beyond you being here, these statistics about pictures batting
Speaker 1: for our children are gonna be so foreign it's gonna
Speaker 1: be I mean, what is the comparison. Dad, There is
Speaker 1: no comparison in baseball because the game, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like live ball, dead ball era right the mound. That's
Speaker 1: the old maybe the only comparison, Because in thirty forty
Speaker 1: years from now, when I'm talking to my great grandkids
Speaker 1: about baseball and I say, oll, you know those guys
Speaker 1: they used to hit, I have a feeling it's gonna
Speaker 1: come back.
Speaker 3: I genuinely does, because I wrote a story, you know,
Speaker 3: five years ago, four years ago, and whenever we gave
Speaker 3: up pictures hitting and I said, I'm sorry, we're gonna
Speaker 3: miss this because so many cool things happen in between
Speaker 3: all the strikeouts and the non competitive at bats that
Speaker 3: we get from pictures. We get a grand slam from
Speaker 3: Wasaquin andwhar a grand slam from Gary Peters or oar
Speaker 3: tolo Cologne home run. I mean those are unforgettable things.
Speaker 1: Or an expertly crafted bunt right when a pitcher would
Speaker 1: lay down a great sack bunt or even a bunt.
Speaker 2: For a hit, right, it's baseball magic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that stuff's important. Okay, Jeff, speaking of magic,
Speaker 3: we're on to the end of this podcast. You're from
Speaker 3: the outer Banks in North Carolina. So I am, I
Speaker 3: am really curious what you came up with for the
Speaker 3: team Tim, which we will call the Team Jeff Jeff.
Speaker 3: No matter how good or bad this is, we need
Speaker 3: to do it because we teased it. And if you
Speaker 3: teased it, I'm sure there are people all over the
Speaker 3: country breathlessly waiting to see what Jeff came up with.
Speaker 1: All right, so, Dad, I've come up with a team Jeff.
Speaker 1: I gave you the tease that this was all about
Speaker 1: my life in high school, and you hit the nail
Speaker 1: on the head.
Speaker 2: You said, that was right. It's a theater team. Now.
Speaker 1: I started off by doing it like things at the theater,
Speaker 1: in a musical, in a production, and then I quickly
Speaker 1: pivoted because I couldn't find anything. So then I turned
Speaker 1: towards the all theater production team. So each one of
Speaker 1: these players, their names lends itself to a theater, musical
Speaker 1: or a play. Are you ready the name of the play? So,
Speaker 1: and I apologize if I mispronounced any Namesdad, hopefully you
Speaker 1: can help me out with this.
Speaker 3: I will hopefully be able to help you out.
Speaker 2: With a catcher. Bye bye, Bertie Tebbitts.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Bertie Bertie Tebbitts was the one of
Speaker 3: the he worked for the Rangers. He was a scout
Speaker 3: for the Rangers. And you started out, yeah really, and
Speaker 3: I got to know him really well.
Speaker 2: This is a great start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating man who was a really good hitter in
Speaker 3: his day, managed in the major leagues. And this is
Speaker 3: incredibly self serving, Jeff, but he came up to me
Speaker 3: one day. I'm in spring training. I'm wearing shorts, and
Speaker 3: he looks at me and he goes, you gotta run
Speaker 3: his legs like that.
Speaker 2: And that's who said that to you. I've heard you
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I was I'm so honored that a guy
Speaker 3: who is a scout and is looking at body types
Speaker 3: he could tell he could tell an athlete a million
Speaker 3: miles away, just looked at me and goes, you have
Speaker 3: runners had Boston, that you have runner's legs. I was
Speaker 3: so thrilled. Is look at that.
Speaker 1: Well, the next one's gonna insult you. But there's a
Speaker 1: reason why I had to do this, and I know
Speaker 1: you've done it before. In Team Tim, I had to
Speaker 1: put a third baseman as my first baseman.
Speaker 3: He did play first base. Then it's okay, not very often,
Speaker 3: but occasionally. I had Robert Brush, who played one game
Speaker 3: at first base on the All Dental team.
Speaker 1: Well, this guy is a little bit more better known
Speaker 1: than Robert Brush. Sunday's in the Park with George Brett,
Speaker 1: because I had him as my third baseman. All right,
Speaker 1: And I know that's a stretch, but there's a great
Speaker 1: musical Sundays in the Park.
Speaker 3: We'll ask all the time, why didn't you use this
Speaker 3: famous player? Well, I needed a first baseman or I
Speaker 3: needed a third baseman. I'm not trying to come up
Speaker 3: with the perfect team. I'm just trying to get someone
Speaker 3: at each position. Okay, second base is Jose Caballero. Cabaret
Speaker 3: Caballero stretch for sure. All Right, if you grew up
Speaker 3: like I did, you would remember that Greg Caterret c
Speaker 3: A D A R. E. T. Left handed pitcher, pitcher
Speaker 3: in the big leagues for several years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could have used him on my pitching stock right,
Speaker 1: and he had a second base Yeah I'm dead. Wait
Speaker 1: until you see this one. Third is Hello Dolly Stark,
Speaker 1: who played in the early nineteen hundreds. Dolly Stark, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dolly Stark, Hello, Dolly.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: What I went for shortstop and the Quizu Dad is
Speaker 1: a Hall of fame shortstop with a great nickname, the
Speaker 1: arguably one of the best shortstops to ever play the
Speaker 1: game known. I mean Wizard, the Wizard, the Wizard of Oz,
Speaker 1: Ozzy Smith, the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2: Good job, Dad, Okay, we move on to my outfield.
Speaker 1: Jesus Alou right, Jesus christ super star.
Speaker 3: There you go. I love this Christie used Heyesu Salu
Speaker 3: thanks to Dan Patrick, like twenty times on the podcast
Speaker 3: the last two years.
Speaker 1: Also in the outfield, Billy Hamilton Hamilton right.
Speaker 2: And then this one's stretch. Greasey Neil are you familiar?
Speaker 2: He played for the Reds nineteen fifteen to nineteen twenty two.
Speaker 3: Grease gree His name is Grease Neil, Greasey Neil Greasey
Speaker 3: needs Grease the musical right. And then my grace is
Speaker 3: the word my pitcher played for the Twins and others
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Sean Poppin Mary Poppins Right. A little bit of a stretch,
Speaker 1: but that is my all theater production team.
Speaker 3: Nat Jeff, I'm very proud of you for coming.
Speaker 2: Up with this year I would love.
Speaker 3: Now, where did you get the names from? Did you
Speaker 3: just google? Is there a baseball player named Grease? How
Speaker 3: did you do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, that's I thought of a musical first, and
Speaker 1: then so I looked for Bertie, right, and then I
Speaker 1: tagged on Bye Bye Bertie the.
Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 3: The tebbits makes it.
Speaker 2: I started.
Speaker 1: I started with Ozzy Smith. I said the Wizard, the
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz. That makes sense. And then you know,
Speaker 1: George Brett, Sunday's in the park with George Brett. That
Speaker 1: came pretty quickly, right, and then Billy Hamilton, I know.
Speaker 1: So it's so good and Billy Hamilton kind of too,
Speaker 1: because there's musicals.
Speaker 3: That have right. And on this date in lou Brock
Speaker 3: broke the unofficial all time stolen base record held by
Speaker 3: Billy Hamilton. Wow, so there are too, Billy Hamilton. Yes,
Speaker 3: this one played in the eighteen hundreds, sliding Billy Hamilton.
Speaker 3: We just don't have nick names, not that anymore yet.
Speaker 3: But the other Billy Hamilton's play has been active in
Speaker 3: the big leagues in the last few years. So yeah,
Speaker 3: on this date it's an unofficial record because they're stolen
Speaker 3: base back then we're not clear because he really broke
Speaker 3: the record held by Ty Cobb. And then lou Brock,
Speaker 3: of course, was passed by Ricky Henderson. Wait to go,
Speaker 3: whatever Anderson say on base? We had a whole speech
Speaker 3: planned and what did he say?
Speaker 2: Instead?
Speaker 3: He and lou Brock wrote a speech and Ricky was
Speaker 3: supposed to pull it out of his back pocket and
Speaker 3: read the speech. And I love Ricky what a great
Speaker 3: player he was. He held the base above his head
Speaker 3: and said today I am the greatest of all time,
Speaker 3: which he was. And lou Brock, who lou Brock loved
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson. They became really good friends. But lou Brock said, Ricky,
Speaker 3: what about the speech? So what he called him after
Speaker 3: the game?
Speaker 2: Ricky said, sorry, I forgot amazing.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow on the podcast, Kevin Brown, broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles,
Speaker 1: Syracuse Graduate.
Speaker 3: And Jeopardy Well soon to be Jeffrey Jeopardy Champion. I
Speaker 3: think we are going to get him a spot on
Speaker 3: the Celebrity Jeopardy Show.
Speaker 2: I think we need to do that.
Speaker 1: And his impression of Jim Palmer incredible. If you missed
Speaker 1: our interview with Jim Palmer, you can look it up
Speaker 1: on the feed because it's gonna it's gonna help you
Speaker 1: even more if you don't know Jim Palmer's isms, right,
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna tease.
Speaker 3: There's a there's a quark gin in it, and it's
Speaker 3: a name, quark Gin that is impossible to believe that
Speaker 3: Kevin Brown and I share. There's a name, it's like
Speaker 3: a quirk Gin, but it's it has nothing to do
Speaker 3: with baseball except for both of us are in the game.
Speaker 2: So perfect.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening, and thank you again
Speaker 1: for being a part of our family.
