Hopefully snow gets clear. 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: It's still freezing over here on the East Coast for 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: people to get around safely. It's unbelievable how much snow 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and how cold it still is. 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 3: Right Jeff, I had someone at a birthday party tell 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 3: me the other day that he thinks the snow will 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 3: be here until the start of the Olympics, which is 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 3: February the sixth. 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 4: Jeff I told him it's going to. 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 3: Be here to the start of the baseball season, which 16 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: is March twenty seventh. I mean, there is no end 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: in sight here. The high school, the public school kids 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: in our neighborhood where you went to school, we're out 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: of school for six straight days. They might go back 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: today Tuesday, but on Monday they made six straight school 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: days out and the roads are clear, but there's so 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: much ice and snow built up that entire lanes have 23 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: not been completely shoveled off. 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: And I guess it makes it dangerous. 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to see grass in the 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: state of Maryland until March. I really believe that. That's 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: how cold it still is. 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: And it's so bad, Dad, that my wife Emily just 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: instructed me to shovel our grass so that the dog 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: has a place to go pee. 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: She was like, can you shovel a strip of grass 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: out so he can go pea somewhere? Because he's been 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: peeing on concrete and asphalt for the last week and 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: a half and it's getting to the point where it 36 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: rolls down the asphalt onto his paws, and the kind 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: of clean his paws. He's pooping in the middle of 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the road, Dad, I mean, dog owners out there are 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: going nuts. 40 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: Me as well, Jeff. 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 3: I have a dog also, Rex. He's pooping all over 42 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: the place, but not at least not in the house. 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: But you know, these are desperate times. They call for 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: desperate measures. If you have to poop on the top 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: of some snow, that's sorry. Just the way it works. 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: It's just the way I mean. He doesn't even want 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: to go in the snow. And my male dog, Ranger 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: pee is like a girl dog, so he doesn't lift 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: a leg, so he could pee on a little snow mountain, 50 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: but he doesn't know how to. I think he was 51 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: raised by female dogs and so he has to pee 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: like a girl dog. And then he doesn't like his 53 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: you know what, touching the snow. It's a whole thing, right, 54 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: it's driving me nuts. So I'm gonna go after this 55 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: podcast shovel snow off of a grass yard, right, but 56 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to tear up all the grass. 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: Sure I've ever heard that sentence before, go shovel the grass? 58 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: Right, shovel? Can you shovel your front yard for me? 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: So that's what's going on in our Kirkston household, Dad. 60 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: And it was funny because just the other day we 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: were on a phone call with the incredible gentleman of 62 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: the Saber chapter in Las Vegas, that of which we 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: could not at all talk about the snow because they 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: have no relation because the storm that's hit the east coast. 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: How great was that time with them. 66 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: Right, and remember the name of the chapter, Jeff the 67 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: Maddox brothers, Right. 68 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: It was so good. We talked about Mike Maddox. 69 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: We talked about Greg Mannox, baseball in Las Vegas and 70 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: baseball all over the place. Jeff, you were the youngest 71 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: guy there for sure. By how many years would you say? 72 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. There was a gentleman, if I caught 73 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: his name properly, I think it was Brody sitting in 74 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: the front right. He didn't ask any questions, but he 75 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: seemed he seemed right around my age. But yes, a 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: majority of the gentlemen were a little closer to your generation. 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: I'm might say. Let's let's just say there was a 78 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: lot of four oh. 79 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: One k money probably in this in this meeting, but 80 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: they were all really great guys, right. 81 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: There was a lot of talk about Ted Williams and 82 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: Babe Ruth agreed. 83 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: Well, there is a couple of jokes that that you 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: landed really great with the crowd that I mean went 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: way over my already really low to the ground head, 86 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean five foot six, but they were they were 87 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: flying right over me. I had some references to players, and. 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: Well, they got it. That's all that mattered. 89 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: They got it. 90 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: There was SABER. 91 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: SABER is a society of American Baseball Research, and you know, 92 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: I pop your grandfather. 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: My dad was a proud member, you know. Big. 94 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: My dad was a PhD in mathematics, loved baseball, so 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: he combined the two. So he got me involved. I've 96 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: been a member for years and years. Those people are 97 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: out of their minds, Jeff, and that is a compliment 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,039 Speaker 3: because they love the game that much. So when you 99 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: you really need to know the deep inside story about 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: the history of the game, you should read things that 101 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: are on Saber because it's just amazing. 102 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Well, Dad, before we get into baseball, the Grammys were 103 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 1: this past Sunday night, and as a morning show host 104 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: for a country music station in Philadelphia ninety two five XCU, 105 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: I watch the Grammys, right, I have to. It's part 106 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: of my job because we're going to talk about it now. 107 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Country music isn't necessarily the biggest thing at the Grammys, right. 108 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: There's plenty of other country music specific award shows that 109 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: obviously are a little bit more up my alley. But nonetheless, 110 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: I came up with a game to play with you 111 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: called Grammy Artist or Farce. Okay, So, Dad, the way 112 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: it works is I'm gonna name something. 113 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: You have to tell me whether it's a Grammy nominated 114 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: or Grammy winning. 115 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: Artist, or if it's if it's if it's farce, if 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: it's a fake that I'm trying to trick you with. 117 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: Guys, I saw one of the the other day and 118 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: it was is this a prescription medicine or is it 119 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: a Pokemon character? That was an interesting juxtaposition, those two 120 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: right next to each other. By the way, Carson, your 121 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: godson just turned five. He loves Pokemon. So we were 122 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: over there for a party the other day and the 123 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: hour half an hour before the party was watching Pokemon. 124 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: You love that too, when you've grown up, right, If. 125 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: You or mom find my Pokemon cards, do not give them. 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: To my nephew, Do not open them. 127 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: Do not do anything with them, Dad, because if there 128 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: are cards in there that, by the way, are worth 129 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of money, because that generation of me growing 130 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: up collecting cards, those cards now are selling for I'm 131 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: not kidding, thousands and thousands of dollars. 132 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: Do not give them to Carson to play with. Give 133 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: them to me. 134 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: I will shop them and I will set that kit 135 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: up for life. I'll buy his first house with those 136 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Pokemon cards. But seemingly we can't seem to find my 137 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: binder of Pokemon cards. 138 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: Well you don't know this yet, Jeff, but I found 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: them and I've already turned him in. I got one 140 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: point two million dollars for those cards. 141 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: Oh, I would be so upset. 142 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: Right, there's a giant box in your closet here at home, Jeff. 143 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: It says baseball cards on it. It could be Pokemon. 144 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Cards, it could be. But right next to it is 145 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: my karate belts. And I'll tell you those are worth nothing. 146 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: They weren't worth anything at the time, Jeff. 147 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: Right, Jeff, No, they weren't. 148 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: Jeff famously broke a board there without hitting it. The 149 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: instructor broke the board when Jeffrey was about eight. 150 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: Great job. 151 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: The guy broke the board for you so you would 152 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: join up for the next year, so we could spend 153 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: some more money on you, being one of the worst 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: martial artists I've ever seen. 155 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet we still went out for ice scream 156 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: to celebrate my board breaking. 157 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: And you never told me to teenage. 158 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: Right next to basket robins.

Haanio Suarez, who hit 245 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 3: forty nine home runs last year with the Diamondbacks and 246 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 3: Mariners combined, has signed with the Reds. Of course, he 247 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: used to play for the Reds. Reds were a playoff 248 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: team last year. He definitely needed some punch somewhere in 249 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: that order, and he's going to provide it. He's going 250 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 3: to strike out a lot, low batting average, but a 251 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: great teammate, a bet he's gotten much better defensively. And 252 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: Jeff forty nine homers, three hundred and twenty five homers 253 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 3: in his career. 254 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 4: He's thirty four years old. 255 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: He's gonna hit forty more this year, especially playing in 256 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: that ballpark. And the other is Willis Arise, a lifetime 257 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: Jeff three seventeen hitter, got a one year deal from 258 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 3: the Giant. So here's a guy with a three seventeen 259 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: average and another with forty nine homers. Luise Rise won 260 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: three batting titles and just got a one year deal 261 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: from the Giant. 262 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 4: So just shows you it's tough some days. 263 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: It's tough being a free agent if you're not the 264 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: biggest name out there or at the perfect age. 265 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad, Luisa, rise to me is such a question mark. 266 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: I mean, the guy gets on base. 267 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: He batted three point fifty four in twenty twenty three. 268 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: How is he only knocking out these one year deals? 269 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: Like why is nobody locking him down? 270 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: Well again, in today's day and age, Jeff, he just 271 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: doesn't have the same value. He doesn't hit home runs, 272 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: he's not a plus defender, he doesn't run particularly well. 273 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: His on base percentage is good, but it's not great 274 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: for a three seventeen, and he doesn't walk very often. 275 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: But I can tell you when he went to the padres, 276 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: every one of those guys. 277 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 4: Just war By, you know what. 278 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: He brought just an attack mode to the plate, like 279 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: I'm going to get hits today, We're going to put 280 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 3: the ball in play. They followed him and it really worked. 281 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: But in this day and. 282 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: Age, it doesn't work nearly as much as it did, say, 283 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: thirty years ago. Now, obviously the job is to hit. 284 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: The ball out of the ballpark. Right. 285 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: Well, those are some big, big signings, Dad, and I 286 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: know there's still a couple free agents to fall, But 287 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: do you have a countdown of when do pitchers and 288 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: catchers report because everybody. 289 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: I mean February, Dad. 290 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: We have we have baseball this month.

One of 350 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: my favorite players that I ever covered now when I 351 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: got to cover him every day. He was with the Orioles, 352 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 3: and he still had those great hands and he could 353 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: still run the ball down in the outfield. But he 354 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: clearly was not the same player in the mid eighties 355 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: as he was in the mid seventies. 356 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: Let's put it that way. But I'll never. 357 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: Forget this, Jeff, I you shouldn't share this, But he 358 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: yelled at me once in the press in the clubhouse, 359 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 3: he yelled at me over asking him about, you know, 360 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: being injured, and when when do you think we're going 361 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: to be back? 362 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 4: And I guess I asked. 363 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: Him one too many times and he screamed at me 364 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 3: and said I'm tired of you asking me when I'm 365 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 3: going to get back. And it's not like I apologize, 366 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: but I looked at him and then he said, sorry, you. 367 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 4: Didn't deserve that. You didn't deserve that. 368 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 3: It just doesn't happen very often that a writer gets 369 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 3: yelled at by a player, and sometimes deservedly. So I'm 370 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 3: not saying I didn't deserve that, but he apologized to 371 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 3: me for yelling at me in the clubhouse in at 372 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 3: Memorial Stadium, you know, forty years ago almost. 373 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 4: I mean, that's that was Freddy Lynn for you. 374 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 375 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: Do I have this right? 376 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: That he's only one of two players to win the 377 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: MVP and the Rookie of the Year in the same 378 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: season him and each year. 379 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: Right, I believe that's true. Yes. 380 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: I just did a quick fact check because I thought 381 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: that was the case, and I did a quick fact 382 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: check and it came up clean. 383 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 384 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: Echiro Suzuki and fred Land are the only two players 385 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: both did it in the American League, mind you, to 386 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: win the MVP and the Rookie of the Year in 387 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: the same seaies so Freddy Lynn. 388 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: The reason I because Freddy got hurt quite a bit 389 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 3: and he was a little sensitive to that. But I 390 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: went to him once and I said, Freddie, you know 391 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 3: you at eighty percent is better than so and so 392 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 3: we won't use the name here at one hundred percent. 393 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 3: And he looked at me and he's as humble as 394 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: to get and he goes, yes, I know, but you 395 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 3: don't understand, and please, He's very humble. 396 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 4: He said, you don't understand what it's like to be 397 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 4: like me. 398 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 3: That if I can't get to that ball on the 399 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: inside part of the plate because my wrist is killing me, 400 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: then it it's hard for me to play when I 401 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 3: can't do the things that I'm used to doing really 402 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 3: well because I have a slight hamstring pull. If I 403 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: can't get to that ball in left center field that 404 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 3: I would normally get to with my eyes closed, he said, 405 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 3: I just I have a hard time playing when I 406 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: can't be as good as I can be. Do you 407 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: do you understand I understood that. Do you understand that? 408 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: I understand it, but I've never been good enough at 409 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: anything to feel that way. 410 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 2: But listen, I mean. 411 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good editing a podcast or editing audio. So 412 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: if you told me there was something hindering me from 413 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: being as fast as I possibly can, Like, remember when 414 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: I needed to buy a brand new laptop in order 415 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: to do my job properly when going to Nashville for 416 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: an award show Dad, that laptop was hindering me from 417 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: doing my work quickly and efficiently. And uh, yeah, so 418 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: I guess I guess as nerdy as that sounds. Yes, 419 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: I can relate to MVP and Rookie of the Year 420 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: Fred Lynn. 421 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 4: Right, well, very interesting. Okay. 422 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 3: Also on this date, Jeff in nineteen sixty two. I 423 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: always got a kick out of this. Joe Klink was 424 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 3: born k L I N K. 425 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 4: Now. 426 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 3: When I was growing up, Hogan's Heroes was one of 427 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 3: my favorite sitcoms, not my all time favorite sitcom. 428 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 4: But one of my favorites. 429 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: And of course, Colonel Klink was the guy that ran 430 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 3: the Stalogs Dollarg thirteen. That was where, you know, where 431 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: Hogan's Heroes all operated out of. And I still know 432 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 3: most of the names of all the people in the show, 433 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: like Richard Dawson, who went on to host you Know, 434 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: Family Feud. He played a guy named Newkirk, and I'd 435 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 3: be interested to see how many people know what his 436 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 3: name is. First name is in the show because his 437 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: name is Peter Newkirk. I don't think too many people 438 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 3: knew that because he goes by Newkirk only in the 439 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: show Carter. Another guy, Larry Hovis played him. His name 440 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 3: in the show was Andrew Carter. 441 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 4: So there you go. 442 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 3: These are little things that dopey me remembers from sixty 443 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 3: years ago. Does me absolutely no good? 444 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: Well, I mean we could change our names. Dad, I'll 445 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: be new Kirk. You can be old Kirkin. 446 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 2: What do you think? 447 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 4: Pretty good, Jeff? Pretty good? 448 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 3: Boy? 449 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 4: Pop up is old these days. 450 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 3: Last week I have been moving furniture, huge boxes of 451 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 3: stuff and we won't get into that, and shoveling snow 452 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 3: for the last week. I am absolutely exhausted, but none 453 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 3: of that matters. 454 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: We got it done. No worries. 455 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 3: I'd last think, Jeff in this is sad. On this 456 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: date in twenty twenty five. 457 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 4: Rich Dower died. 458 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: I covered rich Dower with the Orioles. Rich Dower was 459 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: a great defensive second basement, had a tremendous understanding of 460 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: the game, and he got very sick and died. 461 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 4: Way ahead of time. 462 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 3: But I always loved talking baseball with rich Dower. I 463 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 3: really enjoyed watching him play. And he was also a 464 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: great basketball player, Jeff. Back in the days when teams 465 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: would have like a basketball team for the for the winter, 466 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: you know, Jim Palmer would score thirty eight boys Cal 467 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 3: Rippins dunk it on people. Rich Daut and Mike Flanniano. 468 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: I told you a million times about rich Dauer was 469 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 3: one of the best players on those teams. He could 470 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: really really shoot it. So rest in peace. A year 471 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: ago rich. 472 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: Dower, all right, Dad, from Burley to Behemoth. We did 473 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: one through fifty five, and see in last season. Now 474 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: we're doing fifty six through ninety nine. We're on to 475 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: number sixty of the best players to wear each number. 476 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: Who do you got? 477 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 4: Right? 478 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 3: And Jeff, I'm going to warrant everyone that once we 479 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 3: get to the red season, we may have to suspend 480 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: this and go with some more understandable people, because I'm 481 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: not sure I'm up for the greatest. You know, number 482 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: sixty seven of all time, So but at sixty we 483 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: still have a good picture, a very good pitcher. Dallas 484 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: Kikel won one hundred and three games when the cy 485 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 3: young for the Astros in twenty fifteen and one of 486 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: the best fielding pictures that I've ever seen. So for me, 487 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: the greatest number sixty of all time, Dallas Kikeel and 488 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: Jeff Dallas Kikel leads to. 489 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 4: Our team, Tim, Do you know what that is? 490 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: I have a very good feeling it has something to 491 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: do with his first name. 492 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 2: Are we doing American cities? 493 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: Yes, American cities and everyone I'm using here, Jeff is 494 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 3: a top one hundred at least from Google on American 495 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: cities in population. So I didn't just pick tiny cities. 496 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 3: These are among every name on here is a top 497 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 3: one hundred name in baseball, I mean in population in 498 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 3: the United States. So our catcher, let's see if you 499 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: see how well you do with our catcher, Jeffy had 500 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: a pretty good year last year. 501 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 4: It's sixty home runs. 502 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 3: Cal Raley, there you go, okay, very good. Tyler Austin 503 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: at first base, Ray Durham at second base, Scottie Madison 504 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: at third base, Houston, Amenez at shortstop, Darryl Boston in 505 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 3: the outfield, Claudell. 506 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: Washington's since Washington, d C. Still obviously is the city. 507 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: And David Henderson Henderson, Nevada, right, you lived here there. 508 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 3: I was surprised to hear there that many people. Henderson, 509 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 3: Nevada is one of the one hundred biggest cities population 510 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 3: in the United States. 511 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: Should I not be surprised by that? You should not. 512 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: Be surprised because Las Vegas is like one giant city 513 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: and Henderson is like its own city. Think about how 514 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: big Las Vegas the valley is. 515 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: It's pretty large. 516 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised it made top one hundred. I 517 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: bet it's in the eighties or nineties, but it's in there. 518 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 4: Right, really good. So Dallas Kikeel is one of our pictures. 519 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 3: And it was painful to leave Dallas Braden off of 520 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: this list. But Dallas Braden isn't the greatest number sixty 521 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: of all time. 522 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 4: We needed a jumping off point. 523 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: Orlando Hernandez, of course, John Garland, Reggie Cleveland, Brad Lincoln, 524 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 3: one of the newest pirate pitchers, Bubba Chandler, and Lee Richmond, 525 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 3: who I did not know this was one of his 526 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 3: distinctions is he's apparently pitched in the eighteen hundreds.

So, Tim Stoddard played for the 604 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: North Carolina State national championship basketball team, and he pitched 605 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: for the Orioles, and I covered him when he pitched 606 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: for the Orioles. So he was like six seven to sixty. 607 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 3: And I was just telling you, Jeff that, you know, 608 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: the basketball teams that. 609 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: Were there were really good, Like I told you. 610 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 3: Jim Palmer, Rich Dower, Mike Flanagan, Cal Rippen, those guys 611 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 3: were really good. But when Tim Stoddard, who played at 612 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: NC State, showed up, it was like a man among boys, 613 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 3: because not only was he bigger than everyone else, but 614 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: he was a polished college basketball player on a championship 615 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 3: collegiate team, the NC State Wolfpack. 616 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 4: Tim Stoddard love It. 617 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: Number two, a personal favorite. I can't believe I have 618 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 3: this card. This is Jack Lozorko. Now, if anyone remembers 619 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: Jack Lozorko, tip of the cap. But Jack Lozorko was 620 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: very good friends with a buddy of mine, Doug Tornese, 621 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 3: now the late Doug Tornes. And in spring training of 622 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: eighty two, I'm covering the Rangers and I meet Jack 623 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 3: Lozorko and Doug calls me to say, Hey, my boy, 624 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: Jake is going to be there. You gotta go say 625 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 3: hi to him. So I got to know Jack Lozorko 626 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 3: pretty well. And he's one of the great He didn't 627 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 3: end up having a very long major league career, but 628 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: he's one of the greatest fielding pitchers I've ever seen, 629 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 3: even better than Dallas Kichel, who was great. And you 630 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: know why, Jeff, he was a hockey goalie in high 631 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: school and and you know, balls would come shooting up 632 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: the middle against him and he would, you know, kick it, 633 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 3: he would knock it down with his glove. He would 634 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: catch it because he was a hockey goalie. And then 635 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: he became a major league baseball pitcher. 636 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 4: Does that Does that add up to you? Well? 637 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: I would think, I mean, obviously, I think he'd be 638 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: a better catcher at that point, being able to block 639 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: the plate and move like that. 640 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: Then to become a pitcher. 641 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: Dad, I looked up Jack Lozorko on Baseball Reference. I 642 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: don't know if this is obscure, but you know, he 643 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: was drafted five times. 644 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a great high school player, and this happens, Jeff. 645 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: Guys get drafted and they don't get drafted high enough, 646 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 3: or they want to go to college, so they go 647 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 3: to college. I did not know he had been drafted 648 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: five different times, but. 649 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, nineteen seventy five in the regular phase of the draft, 650 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: seventy six twice in the regular phase, secondary phase, seventy 651 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: seven in the secondary phase, and then seventy. 652 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 2: Eight in the amateur draft. 653 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: So I mean he went eighth round, first, first, second, eleventh. Oh, 654 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: I mean kind of crazy when you really think about it. 655 00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: Drafted five times. 656 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: He finally said, all right, I'm coming, don't worry about it. 657 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 3: So good and speaking a good third one Will Clark 658 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 3: borderline Hall of Famer Will Clark. Will Clark's first major 659 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 3: league get bat he hit a home run off Nolan Ryan. 660 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 4: How about that? 661 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: And he's one of the greatest hitters in the history 662 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: of college baseball, at absolute star at Mississippi State. And Jeff, 663 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: that swing that he had, it looked like somebody opening 664 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 3: up a cape because he had such a high swing 665 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 3: and a high finish, it looked like someone opening a cape. 666 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 3: So when he would hit us a home run off 667 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: of somebody with more colorful leg whige, he would say, 668 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 3: I caped that guy. You know, because that's what he 669 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 3: used for. I got that guy hit a home run 670 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 3: off that guy. I took that guy deep. He would say, 671 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: I caped that guy. He was he played with, of course, 672 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 3: for the Giants and the Orioles and the Rangers and 673 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 3: a bunch of teams Cardinals. 674 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 4: He was a really good hitter. 675 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 3: And I did a game at Candlestick Park where they're 676 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 3: playing the Cubs, Giants and Cubs in the playoffs, and 677 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: the Cubs brought Mitch Williams into pitch and Kevin Mitchell 678 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: walks to the on deck circle because Will Clark is 679 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 3: coming to the plate and he says to him, you 680 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 3: know what you have to do, meaning you got to 681 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 3: get a hit here, And will Clark just looks at 682 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 3: Kevin Mitchell and says it's done, and he had a 683 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 3: line drive up the middle, and the Giants end up 684 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 3: winning that game.
