1 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what with the Hall 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: of Famer Tim Kirkshin, I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshen and Dad, 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: what are. 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: You wearing for the podcast today? All right, this is 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: my Applebee's shirt with the name Timmy on it. Now, 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: the quick story behind that is that Julie Chevodi and 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: Julie Townsend, my cousin. We did a shout out to 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: her the other day and she just texted me back 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: to say, like, my twenty twenty five year is now 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: complete because she got a shout out on the podcast. 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: Her sister is Amy Chevodi, one of the one of 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: her two sisters, and Amy listens to the podcast every time. 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: So when I was in an airport, I want to 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: say twenty years ago, some guy like tackled me at 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: the baggage claim. He looked me in the eye and 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: he goes, I've seen you before. Where where have I 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: seen you? I know you from somewhere. Don't tell me 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: where I've seen you. And then he looks at me 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: and he goes, you work at Applebee's, right, So I 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: have to explained though I actually don't work at Applebee's, 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: even though I love Applebee's. So Amy my cousin. Here's 22 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: the story, and for a Christmas present, she gets this 23 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: shirt made Applebee's with the name Timmy on the top. 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: So I thought we needed to do a shout out 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: to Amy to keep things equal after giving a great 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: shout out to Julie the other day. Is that fair? 27 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: Do you think? I think that's totally fair. I didn't 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: realize that that. 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Are you going to your lunch with your friend wearing 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: that shirt? 31 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: Lady? No, no, no, no, this is going to change. 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: This is just for the podcast. 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: I've only had one mistaken identity. Remember that summer I 34 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: lived in New York and I worked for MLB dot com. 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: It's a true story. I don't know if I've ever 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: told you this. 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: I was at a bar and these group of girls 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: came up to me, and this one girl goes, my 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: friends are too nervous to ask you. 40 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: Are you Jake Jillenhall? 41 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: And I'm with a group of guys that live in 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the same building I am, and I laugh and I 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: say no, and they're all they're all so upset. They're like, Jeff, 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: these beautiful girls just they're giving me the looks like 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: you should have said yes. They would have hung out 46 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: with us all night, so I said no, I am 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Jeff Jillenhall, Jake and Maggie's little. 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 2: Brother, and they proceeded to follow us. 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: Kind of invited them to the next bar, uh, and 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: I kind of was able to slip away from them. 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: So I still don't know to this day if they 52 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: think they met a Jeff Jillenhall, Jake and Maggie's little brother, 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: and we were in the world of Google at the time. 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: It's not like they couldn't have googled. They probably have 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: since then and said that guy was messing with us. 56 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the looks like I've gotten before. 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: Dad. 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: I've gotten it a couple of times. I don't see it, 59 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: but that's where we're at. 60 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: It looks like I love it. Jeff, you look a 61 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: little bit like Jake Jillenhall. And as we know, he's 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: in one of my favorite movies, October Sky. 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm not nearly as talented as he is or as 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: good looking, but I take it as a compliment. 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: Every time it was down in the bathroom in our 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: house where you used to live, and you occasionally come back, 67 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: I should tell you first we've rented out your room. Uh, 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: so you're gonna have to sleep somewhere else if you 69 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: come back home. That's a good tone. But I was 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: down in the bathroom on the low level of the house, 71 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: and as you know, there's a basket full of baseball cards, 72 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: just random cards as part of the baseball motif in 73 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: the basement, right. I went in to wash my hands 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: in there, and there was the card sticking out above 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: all the others. I'm not making this up, and I 76 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: just took a casual look at it, and look who 77 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: it is. It's Jim de Chay's. 78 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: Jim decha Jim show. 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: The show a few weeks ago, good major league picture, 80 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: great major league broadcaster. I'm gonna go see him tonight 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: at Nationals Park, Cubs against the Nationals. But how rare 82 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: is that that? Jim de Ches's card. A guy who 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: was our guest three weeks ago, was the one sticking 84 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: out like it was like coming out saying, recognize me, 85 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: see me, and there was it was Jim to chayes. 86 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: How great is that? Are you going to bring the 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: card with you tonight when you see him? Yes, I 88 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: am absolutely, because Jim de Chay's, as we found out, 89 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: which I already do one of the funniest people tells 90 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: a great story. So I'm going to bring this baseball 91 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: card tonight to see my friend Jim Dechaes. 92 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: That's so funny too, because I was using the rest 93 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: just right before we recorded, and look at what card 94 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: I found right on top of the toilet. 95 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: I don't know why what it was doing there right well, Jeff, 96 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: by Tim Kirchen baseball card. 97 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: You know what, Dad, you signed a bunch of these 98 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: for tops and it can't help. But notice mine is unsigned, 99 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: so not even your son got an exclusive autograph of 100 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: the Tim Kirkshen baseball card. 101 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: Jeff, I had to sign twenty five hundred of those cards. 102 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 2: Do you know how long that took? You know how 103 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: tedious that was? So maybe I just quit it twenty 104 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 2: five hundred. I'll make it twenty five oh one the 105 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: next time I come there to tape the podcast. Okay, 106 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: what's more tedious? 107 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Signing twenty five hundred baseball cards of yourself or playing 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Settlers of Katan? 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: Do you have any sheep, Jeff, do you have any 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: that that leave it at that? 111 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,239 Speaker 1: If you know you know right the Settlers of Katan 112 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: no meaning to the word tedious, Yes, let's jump right in, Dad, 113 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Let's get to the takeaways as to what's going on 114 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. 115 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: Okay, the Rockies won a series, Jeff. They beat the 116 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: Marlins two out of three. They had lost twenty two 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: consecutive series going back to last season, which is a 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: record for two season losing streak, and they had lost 119 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: nineteen straight series this year, which is one short of 120 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: the major league record for a single season. So I'm 121 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: happy for the Rockies. Let's be clear. They're a terrible team, obviously, 122 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: but you know, it's a beautiful stadium. We love Denver. 123 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: The fans are great, but they just need to win 124 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: a few more games. But they do have company, Jeff, 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: because the A's, the poor A's just lost nineteen out 126 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 2: of twenty games, and even the Rockies didn't lose nineteen 127 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: out of twenty at any point this season. And the Rangers, 128 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: who I predicted would be the best offensive team in 129 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: the American League this year before the season started, they 130 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: just had their twentieth game scoring fewer than two runs, 131 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: which passed the Rockies for the most games this season 132 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: scoring fewer than two runs. So the point is, we 133 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,119 Speaker 2: get no pleasure in making fun of the Rockies. They're professionals. 134 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: I've been through this with the eighty eight Orioles, so 135 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: it's good to see them win a series and good 136 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: to see that they have company with other teams that 137 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: are struggling almost as much. Also, Jeff, Junior Camenaro, who 138 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: is twenty one years old for the Rays, just hit 139 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: his fourteenth homer and had five homers in six games. 140 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: He is the youngest player ever to drive in six 141 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: runs in a game for the Rays, and we find 142 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: out he's the youngest player since Alex Rodriguez in nineteen 143 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 2: ninety six to have a six game stretch with five 144 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: homers and fourteen RBIs. What he's doing is pretty amazing. Jeff, 145 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: when he was twenty, I went to see the Blue 146 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: Jays and the race in Toronto, and Junior Cameranira, who 147 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: I'd never seen take BP before, put on the one 148 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. And it 149 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: was on the road at the Rogers Center in Toronto. 150 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: And I'm not exaggerating. He got a standing ovation from 151 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: the crowd behind home plate who had just watched him 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: put on one of the great shows ever. So the 153 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: point is, this kid can really hit. I'm not sure 154 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: if he has a position A man, oh man, does 155 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: he have power? Yeah? 156 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: The young guys coming up, I mean the Royals just 157 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: called up a twenty one year old. We talked about 158 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: it on the show on Tuesday. 159 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: Dad. 160 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: I love seeing the youth in baseball. Jackson Holiday leading 161 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: off for the Orioles, It's great to see young guys 162 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: in the game. 163 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: I totally agree. And that was Jack Caglion, who went 164 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: oh for five in his debut but hit four balls hard. 165 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: It's okay, He's going to be a really good hitter. 166 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: Speaking of really good hitters, Jeb the Mets. The last 167 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: twenty seven games in which Francisco Lindor has hit a 168 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: home run, the Mets have won. So they won twenty 169 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: seven straight regular season games in which Lindor has hit 170 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: a home run. The record for such things is twenty 171 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 2: nine consecutive games by Carl Farrillo of the Dodgers nineteen 172 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: fifty one through fifty three. How about that? So what? 173 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: It just shows you again how important Francisco Lindor is 174 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: to the Mets. When he gets a big hit, it 175 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: seems like they always seem to win. 176 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm it just kind of baffles me. Dad, 177 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: And you talk about this all the time, like you 178 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: think a record like that would be held by a 179 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: a Joe DiMaggio, a Babe Ruth of whatever it might be. Now, 180 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: obviously they hit a lot of home runs in their career, 181 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: but sometimes the oddest records are held by not no names, 182 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: but you know, not the big names. Right, every record 183 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: is held by Lebron James, and every records hold by 184 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. 185 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: Right, right, but not in this sport. Right, it's beautiful, Yes, 186 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: And Carl Farrilla was a good player and he had 187 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: a great throwing from right field. I heard stories of 188 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: Carl Farillo while I was growing up. Speaking of great players, 189 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: the Mariners retired the number fifty one for both Eachiro 190 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: Suzuki and Randy Johnson. I'm not sure what took so 191 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: long to retire Randy Johnson's fifty one because he was 192 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: so great. Each row, of course, so great. So I 193 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: looked up, Jeff the teams that have the same number 194 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: retired to two different people. Okay, so fifty one is 195 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: now each Row and Randy Johnson. And this doesn't include 196 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: anyone wearing number forty two like Bruce Souiter or Marianna 197 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: Rivera and Jackie Robinson, whose number is retired by every team, Okay, 198 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 2: but Yogi Verra, Bill Dickey number eight for the Expos 199 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: slash Nationals, Rusty stob and Andre Dawson number ten for 200 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: the A's Roley Fingers and Dave Stewart number thirty four, 201 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: and by the Cubs number thirty one, Greg Maddox and 202 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: Fergie Jenkins. So now we have three sets of Hall 203 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: of Famers who have the same number retired by the 204 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: same team. That's Maddox and Jenkins, that is Eachi Row 205 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: and the Big Unit, and that is Bill Dickey and 206 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: Jogi Barum. 207 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: And I think of all of those pairings, none are 208 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: more different than that of Randy Johnson and ich Euro's 209 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: a suit. 210 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are completely different in every single way. But 211 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: that's just another beauty of baseball. And once we get 212 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: closer to the Hall of Fame, we will be talking 213 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: an awful lot about each Row the weekend that he 214 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: goes in well deserved. And if anyone doesn't remember how 215 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: great Randy Johnson was, you need to go back and 216 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: look at those numbers, because he's arguably the greatest left 217 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: handed pitcher ever, and I maintain he's the scariest, most 218 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: intimidating pitcher in Major League history. Six' ten throws as 219 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 2: hard as he did throw down from the. Sides Jep Rich, 220 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: donelly our dear, friend once told me That Randy johnson 221 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: didn't even have a pickoff move to second. Base he 222 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: would just reach out and tag the guy as he 223 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: was really. 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: Child what's really, neat, dad IS i don't know if 225 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: you heard.

Way So George kirby of The mariners 248 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: got hit with a line drive in the mouth last. Night. 249 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 2: Okay it scares.

Head it's just the most terrifying. 252 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: Thing maybe my favorite, Story, jeff THAT i ever wrote 253 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: in my entire career was about the fear of the. 254 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: Ball the infieldersphere of taking a ball in the face 255 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: on a bad, hob a hittersphere of course getting hit 256 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: by a pitch in the head or the, face and 257 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: a pitcher sphere of getting hit with a line drive 258 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: off the bat well over sometimes well over one hundred 259 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: miles an. Hour so it reminds me of a guy 260 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: Named Mike wilson who On april fourth of nineteen ninety, Four, 261 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 2: jeff it was his twenty first.

Day but he's a major league. Prospect and 264 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: he pitched five innings that day in spring, training but 265 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: his pitch count was so. Low pitching coach, said would 266 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: you like to pitch a sixth? Inning he, goes, SURE 267 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: i got nothing to. Lose and in the sixth, inning 268 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: he threw a change up and a hitter Named Boo, 269 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: thompson the aptly Named Boo thompson hit a line drive 270 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: that Hit Mike wilson right in the. Mouth he lost three. 271 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: Teeth he blacked out and went to the ground in 272 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: a bloody.

Mouth So Mike wilson had a surgery that 278 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: lasted like three hours to get his mouth, fixed and 279 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: he never really came. Back his velocity dropped from ninety 280 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: four to eighty five miles an, hour and he couldn't 281 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: finish his curve ball because he was always worried about 282 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: landing and getting himself into fielding. Position he told me 283 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: this whole, Story, jeff AND i was like in tears 284 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: listening to a young guy whose career ended basically by 285 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: being hit with the line.
