4:28
6:40
4:28

4:31

4:40
your

father,
4:41
Tony,

he
4:42
worked
4:42
in
4:42
a
4:42
tobacco
4:43
factory
4:43
and
4:44
he
4:44
was

famous
4:45
for
4:45
rolling

5:20
a
5:20
link
5:21
that
5:21
your
5:21
band
5:21
will
5:21
be
5:21
playing
5:22
soon.
5:24
You
5:24
really
5:24
strive
5:25
to
5:25
inspire
5:26
others
5:27
through
5:27
your
5:27
words
5:28
as
5:28
well
5:28
as
5:29
your
5:29
music,
5:29
don't
5:29
you?
5:31
Yeah,
5:32
I
5:32
really
5:32
find
5:33
a
5:33
lot
5:33
of
5:33
enjoyment
5:34
out
5:34
of
5:34
really
5:35
inspiring
5:36
other
5:36
people.
5:37
I
5:37
was
5:37
a
5:37
guitar
5:38
teacher
5:38
for
5:38
a
5:38
really
5:38
long
5:39
time.
5:39
I
5:39
still
5:39
have
5:39
a
5:39
couple
5:40
of
5:40
guitar
5:40
students
5:41
that
5:41
taught
5:42
at
5:43
a
5:43
college
5:43
that's
5:44
no
5:44
longer
5:44
around
5:44
here
5:45
in
5:45
St.
5:45
Paul
5:45
called
5:46
McNally
5:46
Smith
5:47
College
5:47
of
5:47
Music.
5:48
But
5:48
yeah,
5:48
that
5:49
was
5:49
my
5:49
dream
5:49
was
5:49
to
5:50
be
5:50
a
5:50
rock
5:50
star
5:51
and
5:51
to
5:52
be
5:52
on
5:52
stage.
5:53
But
5:53
I
5:53
really
5:54
found
5:54
teaching
5:55
others
5:55
and
5:56
seeing
5:56
that
5:56
light
5:56
bulb
5:57
moment
5:57
where
5:57
they've
5:57
been
5:58
practicing,
5:58
practicing
5:58
and
5:59
all
5:59
of
5:59
a
5:59
sudden
5:59
they
5:59
can
5:59
play
5:59
a
6:00
song
6:01
that
6:01
they
6:02
thought
6:02
they
6:02
could
6:02
do
6:02
before.
6:03
I
6:03
really
6:04
got
6:04
a
6:04
lot
6:04
of
6:04
joy
6:05
and,
6:06
yeah.
6:06
Pleasure
6:07
out
6:07
of
6:07
being
6:07
able
6:07
to
6:07
do
6:08
that.
6:08
Get
6:09
a
6:09
lot
6:09
of
6:09
pleasure
6:09
out
6:10
of
6:10
it,
6:10
Rick.
6:10
That's
6:10
for
6:11
sure.
6:11
We're
6:11
speaking
6:11
with
6:11
Rick
6:12
and
6:12
Tony
6:12
Oliva
6:13
tonight
6:13
on
6:13
Sports
6:14
Talk
6:14
New
6:14
York.
6:16
It's
6:16
either
6:16
a
6:17
bat
6:17
or
6:17
a
6:17
guitar
6:18
is
6:19
a
6:19
kid's
6:19
dream,
6:19
Rick.
6:20
So
6:21
you
6:22
made
6:22
it
6:22
with
6:22
one,
6:23
so
6:23
you're
6:23
doing
6:24
good.
6:24
And
6:24
Tony
6:25
made
6:25
it
6:25
with
6:25
the
6:25
other.
6:25
Now,
6:26
the
6:26
book,
6:27
it's
6:27
currently
6:27
in
6:27
development,
6:28
it
6:28
isn't
6:29
just
6:29
a
6:29
biography
6:30
filled
6:30
with
6:31
facts
6:31
and
6:31
figures,
6:31
is
6:32
it?
6:33
No.
6:33
So
6:34
the
6:34
book.
6:35
And
6:35
I've
6:35
been
6:35
asked,
6:35
you
6:36
know,
6:36
why
6:36
not?
6:37
Why
6:37
a
6:37
children's
6:37
book,
6:38
right?
6:38
And
6:38
the
6:39
thing
6:39
is,
6:39
with
6:40
his
6:40
story,
6:40
there's
6:41
already
6:41
been
6:41
biographies
6:42
written.
6:42
You
6:42
can
6:42
go
6:43
online,
6:43
you
6:43
can
6:44
read
6:44
about
6:44
all
6:44
of
6:44
his
6:44
stats,
6:45
you
6:45
can
6:45
read
6:45
about
6:45
where
6:46
he
6:46
grew
6:46
up.
6:47
And
6:47
like,
6:48
Tom
6:48
Henninger
6:49
just
6:49
did
6:49
a
6:49
biography
6:50
about
6:50
him
6:50
a
6:50
couple
6:50
of
6:51
years
6:51
ago,
6:51
and
6:51
it's
6:51
very
6:52
excellent,
6:52
very
6:52
thorough.
6:53
But
6:53
what
6:54
the
6:54
purpose
6:55
of
6:55
the
6:55
book
6:55
was
6:55
to
6:55
inspire
6:56
young
6:57
kids
6:57
to
6:58
not
6:59
be
6:59
limited
6:59
by
7:00
whatever
7:00
situation
7:01
or
7:01
whatever
7:01
obstacle
7:02
they're
7:02
trying
7:03
to
7:03
overcome.
7:04
And
7:04
so
7:04
for
7:04
me,
7:05
growing
7:05
up,
7:05
hearing
7:06
all
7:06
my
7:06
dad's
7:06
stories
7:06
about
7:07
how
7:07
they
7:08
didn't
7:08
have
7:09
money
7:09
to
7:10
have,
7:10
you
7:10
know,
7:10
they
7:10
didn't
7:10
have
7:11
equipment,
7:11
they
7:11
didn't
7:11
have
7:12
bats
7:12
and
7:12
balls,
7:12
so
7:13
they
7:13
would
7:13
go
7:13
take
7:14
a
7:14
branch
7:15
off
7:15
of
7:15
a
7:15
tree
7:16
and
7:16
carve
7:16
it
7:17
up,
7:17
and
7:17
that
7:17
became
7:17
their
7:17
bat.
7:18
And
7:18
they
7:18
would
7:18
take
7:19
a
7:20
rock
7:20
or
7:21
a
7:22
piece
7:22
of
7:22
cork
7:22
and
7:22
they'd
7:23
wrap
7:23
it
7:23
with
7:23
string
7:24
and
7:24
tape,
7:24
and
7:24
that
7:24
would
7:25
be
7:25
their
7:25
ball.
7:26
And
7:26
I
7:26
heard
7:26
all
7:26
these
7:27
stories
7:27
about
7:27
how
7:28
it
7:28
doesn't
7:28
matter
7:29
what
7:30
you
7:30
have,
7:30
you
7:30
can
7:30
make
7:30
it
7:31
work.
7:31
And
7:31
so
7:31
that's
7:31
where
7:32
no
7:32
I
7:32
pro
7:32
blema
7:33
comes
7:33
from,
7:34
is,
7:34
well,
7:34
no
7:34
problem.
7:35
It
7:35
doesn't
7:35
matter
7:35
that
7:36
we
7:36
don't
7:36
have
7:37
a
7:37
baseball
7:37
bat.
7:38
We'll
7:38
just
7:38
make
7:38
one.
7:38
We'll
7:39
make
7:39
our
7:39
own
7:39
bases.
7:39
We'll
7:40
do
7:40
that.
7:40
And
7:40
so
7:41
that's
7:41
where
7:42
his
7:42
story
7:43
comes
7:44
in
7:44
and
7:45
why
7:45
I
7:45
wanted
7:46
to
7:46
write
7:46
an
7:46
inspirational
7:47
children's
7:47
book
7:48
to
7:48
really
7:49
show
7:49
these
7:49
kids,
7:49
like,
7:50
it
7:50
doesn't
7:50
matter
7:51
if
7:51
I'm
7:52
poor,
7:52
if
7:52
I
7:52
grow
7:52
up
7:53
in
7:53
the
7:53
country,
7:53
or
7:53
if
7:53
I
7:53
grew
7:53
up
7:54
in
7:54
the
7:54
city,
7:54
if
7:55
I'm
7:55
black,
7:55
if
7:55
I
7:55
don't
7:56
speak
7:56
the
7:56
English,
7:57
don't
7:57
speak
7:58
the
7:58
language,
7:58
if
7:59
I'm
7:59
an
7:59
immigrant,
7:59
if
7:59
I'm.
8:00
Whatever
8:01
situation
8:01
you
8:01
find
8:02
yourself
8:02
in
8:02
and
8:02
whatever
8:03
obstacle
8:03
you
8:03
see,
8:04
you
8:04
can
8:04
overcome
8:05
with
8:05
determination
8:06
and
8:06
grit.
8:07
That
8:07
is
8:08
so
8:08
true,
8:08
Rick.
8:08
And
8:08
there
8:09
you
8:09
go,
8:09
folks.
8:10
No
8:10
eye
8:10
problema.
8:11
Tony
8:12
Oliva's
8:12
motto.
8:13
No
8:13
problem.
8:14
As
8:14
you
8:14
say,
8:15
you
8:15
don't
8:15
have
8:15
a
8:15
bat,
8:16
cut
8:16
a
8:17
branch
8:17
from
8:17
a
8:17
tree.
8:18
Tony
8:18
did
8:19
that
8:19
when
8:19
he
8:19
was
8:19
in
8:19
Cuba.
8:20
Now,
8:20
the
8:21
idea
8:21
for
8:21
the
8:22
book,
8:22
you
8:23
came
8:24
to
8:24
you
8:24
in
8:24
2004,
8:25
is
8:26
that
8:26
right,
8:26
Rick?
8:28
Yeah.
8:28
So
8:29
I
8:29
initially
8:30
thought
8:30
about
8:30
writing
8:31
the
8:31
book
8:31
when
8:31
my
8:32
oldest
8:32
son,
8:32
who's
8:33
now
8:33
20,
8:34
was
8:34
born.
8:34
And
8:35
I
8:35
said,
8:35
you
8:35
know,
8:35
all
8:36
these
8:36
stories
8:36
that
8:36
my
8:37
dad's
8:37
been
8:37
telling
8:37
me,
8:38
I
8:38
need
8:38
to
8:38
write
8:38
those
8:39
into
8:39
a
8:39
book
8:40
and
8:40
have
8:40
a
8:40
children's
8:40
book.
8:40
Because
8:41
I
8:41
read
8:41
all
8:41
these
8:41
books
8:42
to
8:42
my
8:42
kid.
8:42
You
8:43
know,
8:43
little
8:44
Johnny
8:44
went
8:44
to
8:45
the
8:45
store,
8:45
little
8:45
Johnny
8:46
saw
8:46
a
8:46
dog,
8:46
little
8:46
Johnny,
8:47
you
8:47
know,
8:47
whatever.
8:48
And
8:48
so
8:48
I
8:48
was
8:48
like,
8:49
I
8:49
could.
8:49
I
8:49
could
8:50
put
8:50
all
8:51
of
8:51
my
8:51
dad's
8:51
stories
8:52
into
8:52
that
8:52
and
8:52
make
8:53
a
8:53
children's
8:53
book.
8:53
And
8:54
so
8:55
it's
8:56
funny
8:56
because
8:56
I
8:57
had
8:57
the
8:57
first
8:57
idea
8:57
of
8:58
it
8:58
20
8:58
years
8:58
ago,
8:59
and
8:59
then
9:00
I
9:00
didn't
9:00
know
9:00
how
9:01
to
9:01
do
9:01
it.
9:01
I
9:02
didn't
9:02
know
9:02
how
9:02
to
9:02
make
9:02
it
9:03
come
9:03
to
9:03
life.
9:03
And
9:03
finally
9:04
in
9:04
2020,
9:05
I
9:05
said,
9:05
you
9:05
know
9:05
what?
9:06
It's
9:06
my
9:06
bucket
9:06
list
9:06
of
9:07
2020.
9:08
No
9:08
one's
9:08
going
9:09
outside.
9:09
I'm
9:10
just
9:10
going
9:10
to
9:10
do
9:10
it.
9:11
And
9:11
so
9:11
I
9:11
wrote
9:11
the
9:12
story
9:12
and
9:13
self
9:13
published
9:13
it
9:14
using
9:14
Amazon
9:15
Kindle
9:16
desktop
9:16
publishing.
9:17
I
9:17
think
9:17
it
9:17
was
9:17
called
9:18
kdp,
9:19
but
9:19
it
9:19
was
9:19
just
9:19
a
9:20
story
9:20
and
9:20
it
9:21
wasn't
9:21
illustrated.
9:22
And
9:22
if,
9:23
you
9:23
know,
9:24
in
9:24
2020,
9:26
he
9:26
wasn't
9:26
in
9:26
the
9:26
hall
9:26
of
9:27
fame
9:27
yet.
9:27
And
9:27
so
9:28
then,
9:28
what
9:28
do
9:28
you
9:28
know,
9:28
I
9:29
released
9:29
the
9:29
book,
9:29
and
9:30
a
9:30
year
9:30
later
9:30
he
9:30
gets
9:31
to
9:31
call,
9:31
oh,
9:31
by
9:31
the
9:31
way,
9:32
you're
9:32
in
9:32
the
9:32
hall
9:32
of
9:32
fame
9:32
now.
9:33
So
9:33
I
9:34
said,
9:34
well,
9:34
we
9:35
need
9:35
to
9:35
update
9:35
the
9:36
book.
9:36
We
9:37
need
9:37
another
9:37
chapter,
9:38
right?
9:39
And
9:39
so
9:40
I'm
9:40
working
9:40
with
9:40
a
9:41
local
9:41
publisher
9:41
here
9:42
called
9:42
Wyzink
9:43
Publishing
9:43
and
9:44
a
9:44
great
9:45
illustrator,
9:45
and
9:46
we're
9:46
making
9:46
the
9:46
book
9:46
come
9:46
to
9:46
Life.
9:47
We
9:47
are
9:48
99%
9:49
of
9:49
the
9:49
way
9:49
done
9:49
with
9:50
it,
9:50
and
9:50
it
9:51
looks
9:51
absolutely
9:52
amazing.
9:52
That
9:53
is
9:53
great.
9:53
That
9:53
is
9:54
great,
9:54
Rick.
9:54
Now,
9:55
as
9:55
you
9:56
say,
9:56
the
9:56
book
9:57
had
9:57
to
9:57
take
9:57
a
9:57
different
9:58
turn
9:58
when
9:59
Tony
9:59
got
9:59
the
10:00
call
10:00
from
10:00
Cooperstown
10:01
that
10:01
he
10:02
was
10:02
an
10:02
immortal.
10:03
And
10:04
I
10:05
just
10:05
want
10:05
to
10:05
say
10:05
that
10:06
Kevin
10:06
Cannon,
10:06
who
10:07
was
10:07
the
10:07
illustrator,
10:08
really
10:08
brought
10:09
your
10:09
father's
10:09
journey
10:10
to
10:10
life
10:11
through
10:11
his
10:12
artwork.
10:12
He
10:12
really
10:12
did
10:13
a
10:13
tremendous
10:13
job.
10:14
Now,
10:15
why
10:15
is
10:15
this
10:16
book
10:16
important?
10:17
Rick,
10:17
give
10:17
us
10:17
a
10:17
rundown
10:18
on
10:18
that.
10:20
For
10:20
a
10:20
lot
10:20
of
10:20
people
10:21
right
10:21
now,
10:21
they
10:21
feel
10:21
like
10:22
the
10:22
American
10:22
dream
10:22
is
10:23
out
10:23
of
10:23
reach
10:23
and
10:24
that
10:25
whatever
10:25
it
10:25
is
10:25
that
10:26
they're
10:26
facing,
10:29
they
10:30
can't
10:30
get
10:30
a
10:31
leg
10:31
up
10:31
in
10:32
this
10:32
life,
10:32
right?
10:32
And
10:33
so
10:33
I
10:34
just
10:34
wanted
10:34
to
10:34
show
10:34
people,
10:35
like,
10:35
look,
10:37
this
10:37
man
10:38
that
10:38
came
10:38
from
10:38
Cuba,
10:39
the
10:39
little
10:39
kid
10:39
out
10:40
in
10:40
the
10:40
middle
10:40
of
10:40
nowhere,
10:41
was
10:42
able
10:42
to
10:42
come
10:42
to
10:43
the
10:43
United
10:43
States,
10:44
was
10:44
stranded
10:45
In
10:45
a
10:45
country
10:46
where
10:46
he
10:46
didn't
10:46
speak
10:46
the
10:46
language.
10:47
He
10:47
came
10:48
in
10:48
April
10:48
of
10:48
1961.
10:50
And
10:50
if
10:50
you're
10:50
a
10:50
history
10:51
buff,
10:51
you'll
10:51
know
10:51
that's
10:53
right
10:53
when
10:53
the
10:53
Bay
10:53
of
10:54
Pigs
10:54
happened,
10:54
he
10:55
was
10:55
actually
10:55
released
10:55
from
10:56
the
10:56
team,
10:56
got
10:57
a
10:57
second
10:57
chance,
10:59
navigated
11:00
through
11:00
those
11:00
waters,
11:01
had
11:01
to
11:01
figure
11:02
out
11:02
the
11:02
language,
11:02
had
11:02
to
11:03
deal
11:03
with
11:03
racism
11:03
and
11:04
segregation.
11:05
You
11:06
know,
11:06
he
11:06
couldn't
11:06
catch
11:07
a
11:07
fly
11:07
ball
11:07
to
11:07
save
11:08
his
11:08
life.
11:09
He
11:09
worked
11:09
and
11:09
worked
11:10
and
11:10
worked
11:10
and
11:10
worked
11:10
and
11:10
worked,
11:11
worked.
11:11
Ended
11:11
up
11:11
getting
11:11
a
11:12
Gold
11:12
glove,
11:13
got
11:13
a,
11:14
you
11:14
know,
11:14
became
11:14
this
11:15
major
11:15
league
11:15
baseball
11:16
legend,
11:17
got
11:17
a
11:17
statue
11:17
in
11:18
front
11:18
of
11:18
the
11:18
stadium
11:18
and
11:18
then
11:18
made
11:19
it
11:19
to
11:19
the
11:19
hall
11:19
of
11:19
Fame.
11:20
So
11:20
it's
11:20
like
11:20
you
11:20
can't,
11:21
no
11:21
matter
11:22
where
11:22
you're
11:23
coming
11:23
from.
11:24
I
11:24
wanted
11:24
to
11:24
show
11:24
people
11:24
that
11:25
there
11:25
is
11:25
a
11:25
pathway
11:26
for
11:26
you.
11:26
And
11:26
so
11:27
that's
11:27
where
11:27
I
11:27
think
11:28
the
11:28
real
11:28
importance
11:28
of
11:28
this
11:29
book
11:29
is.
11:29
It's
11:29
not
11:30
a
11:30
made
11:30
up
11:30
story,
11:30
it's
11:31
not
11:31
a
11:31
fantasy
11:31
story.
11:32
This
11:32
is
11:33
a
11:33
living,
11:33
breathing
11:34
person
11:34
that's
11:35
alive
11:35
today,
11:37
living
11:37
in
11:37
modern
11:38
times.
11:38
Right.
11:39
It
11:39
really,
11:39
it
11:40
really
11:40
shows
11:41
that
11:41
stories
11:41
like
11:42
Tony's,
11:42
they're
11:43
crucial
11:44
in
11:44
inspiring
11:45
young
11:45
folks
11:46
to
11:46
believe
11:47
that
11:47
a
11:48
little
11:48
setback
11:48
here
11:49
and
11:49
there
11:49
won't
11:50
define
11:50
their
11:51
future.
11:51
And
11:51
Tony
11:52
is
11:52
a
11:52
great
11:52
example
11:53
of
11:53
that.
11:53
Tony,
11:54
you,
11:54
you,
11:54
you
11:55
encountered
11:55
racism
11:56
in
11:56
the
11:56
minor
11:56
leagues,
11:57
didn't
11:57
you?
11:58
Yes,
11:59
yes.
11:59
But
11:59
I
12:00
will
12:00
say,
12:03
back
12:03
in
12:03
1988,
12:06
my
12:06
little
12:07
Ricky.
12:09
Ricky
12:09
was
12:10
Rick.
12:11
He
12:12
called
12:12
me
12:12
Ricky.
12:13
Yeah.
12:14
Probably
12:14
went
12:15
to
12:15
Cuba.
12:15
We
12:16
went
12:16
to
12:16
Cuba.
12:16
Yes.
12:17
I
12:17
remember
12:17
the
12:18
first
12:18
day
12:18
we
12:18
went
12:19
to
12:19
Cuba,
12:20
there
12:21
was
12:21
a
12:21
whole
12:22
bunch
12:22
of
12:22
kids,
12:23
you
12:23
know
12:23
what
12:23
you
12:24
say,
12:24
kids
12:24
outside
12:25
the
12:25
house
12:26
between
12:26
the
12:26
two
12:26
apartments
12:27
playing
12:27
baseball.
12:28
And
12:29
they
12:29
don't
12:29
have
12:29
a
12:29
bat,
12:30
they
12:30
have
12:30
a
12:30
branch,
12:31
they
12:31
have
12:31
a
12:31
ball,
12:31
they
12:32
make
12:32
a,
12:33
you
12:33
know,
12:33
piece
12:33
of
12:34
wrap
12:34
and
12:34
that.
12:34
And
12:35
the
12:35
first
12:35
thing
12:35
they
12:35
ask,
12:36
Rick.
12:36
Rick,
12:37
Rick,
12:37
come
12:37
here.
12:37
Play.
12:38
Play.
12:38
For
12:38
most.
12:39
Well,
12:39
Ricky
12:40
never
12:40
hit
12:40
a
12:41
ball
12:41
on
12:41
a
12:42
piece
12:42
of
12:42
bench
12:43
or
12:43
something
12:43
like
12:43
that,
12:43
you
12:44
know.
12:44
Yeah.
12:46
And
12:46
play
12:47
and
12:47
play.
12:47
One
12:47
of
12:47
those
12:48
kids
12:48
and
12:49
play
12:49
and
12:49
try
12:50
to
12:50
hit
12:50
the
12:50
ball.
12:50
He
12:50
got
12:50
a
12:51
hard
12:51
time
12:51
to
12:51
hit
12:51
it
12:52
for
12:52
those
12:52
kids,
12:53
was
12:53
hitting
12:53
the
12:54
ball
12:54
very
12:54
good.
12:55
The
12:55
next
12:56
day,
12:56
this
12:57
hit
12:57
by
12:57
8
12:58
of
12:58
Monday
12:58
morning
12:58
or
12:59
less,
12:59
he
12:59
was
13:00
in
13:00
the
13:00
house
13:00
asking
13:02
to
13:02
play
13:02
baseball,
13:03
to
13:03
play
13:03
baseball.
13:04
But
13:05
then
13:05
they
13:06
found
13:07
a
13:07
bat
13:08
in
13:08
the
13:08
neighborhood.
13:09
Somebody
13:09
let
13:10
them
13:10
a
13:10
bat.
13:11
And
13:11
he
13:11
was
13:12
playing
13:13
for
13:13
those
13:13
kids
13:13
all
13:14
day
13:14
long.
13:15
I
13:15
think
13:16
you
13:16
can
13:16
see
13:17
how
13:17
hard
13:18
is
13:18
sometimes
13:19
if
13:19
you
13:19
want
13:19
to
13:19
do
13:20
a
13:20
song,
13:20
they
13:20
have
13:20
to
13:20
do
13:21
it.
13:22
And
13:23
I
13:23
remember
13:23
those
13:23
days.
13:24
I
13:24
never
13:24
forget
13:24
it.
13:25
Because
13:25
he
13:25
never
13:26
give
13:26
up.
13:26
I
13:26
never
13:27
give
13:27
up.
13:27
Yeah,
13:28
I
13:28
remember
13:28
when
13:28
he
13:28
was
13:29
playing
13:29
and
13:30
I
13:30
Know,
13:31
I
13:31
like
13:32
him
13:32
to
13:32
be
13:32
a
13:32
ball
13:32
player,
13:33
you
13:33
know,
13:33
because
13:34
he
13:34
was
13:34
playing,
13:34
he
13:35
was
13:35
pretty
13:35
good
13:35
ball
13:36
player,
13:36
but
13:36
his
13:37
dream
13:37
was
13:37
music.
13:38
I
13:39
said,
13:39
if
13:39
your
13:39
dream
13:39
is
13:40
music,
13:40
go
13:40
after
13:40
music.
13:41
And
13:42
he
13:43
went
13:43
after
13:43
music.
13:44
And
13:44
he
13:44
did
13:44
it
13:44
very
13:45
well
13:46
in
13:46
New
13:46
City.
13:47
But,
13:48
you
13:48
know,
13:48
I'm
13:48
very
13:48
proud
13:49
of
13:50
Ricky
13:51
try
13:51
to
13:51
write
13:52
this
13:52
book
13:53
because
13:53
this
13:53
book
13:54
I
13:54
think
13:54
is
13:54
very
13:55
important.
13:55
It's
13:56
very
13:56
nice
13:56
for
13:57
the
13:57
kids
13:58
to
13:58
read
13:58
because
13:59
I
13:59
believe,
14:01
I
14:01
believe
14:02
in
14:03
school.
14:03
Education
14:04
and
14:05
baseball
14:05

14:05
a
14:05
lot
14:06
in
14:06
common.
14:06
You

14:06
to
14:07
do
14:07
the
14:07
homework,
14:08
you
14:08
have
14:08
to
14:08
try
14:09
hard,
14:09
and
14:09
you'll
14:09
be
14:09
able
14:10
to
14:10
achieve
14:11
a
14:11
lot
14:11
of
14:12
stuff
14:12
if
14:12
you
14:12
want
14:12
to.
14:13
You
14:13
know,
14:13
the
14:14
perfect
14:14
example
14:14
of
14:15
that,
14:15
Tony,
14:16

14:20
And
14:20
here's
14:21
a
14:21
gentleman
14:22
released
14:22
by
14:22

14:26
doesn't
14:27
give
14:27
up,
14:27

the
14:29

Hall
14:31

14:32
FAMER
14:32

14:32
2022.
14:33
The
14:33
determination
14:35
and
14:35
the
14:35
resilience
14:36
of
14:36
the
14:37
example
14:37
of
14:37
Tony
14:38
Oliva
14:39
can
14:39
really
14:40
lead
14:40
to
14:40
greatness.
14:41
Tony.
14:42
Well,
14:42
you
14:43
see,
14:43
I
14:44
tell
14:44
you
14:44
one
14:44
thing
14:45
that
14:46
I
14:47
know
14:47
where
14:47
I
14:47
confront.
14:49
Yes,
14:49
thank
14:49
you
14:50
very,
14:50
very
14:51
much
14:51
to
14:51
God
14:52
and
14:53
my
14:53
family
14:53
and
14:53
my
14:54
friends
14:55
for
14:56
that,
14:56
for
14:56
my
14:57
special
14:57
attitude
14:58
that
14:58
I
14:58
was
14:58
able
14:59
to
14:59
have.
15:00
No
15:00
matter
15:01
what,
15:01
you
15:02
know,
15:03
I
15:03
say
15:04
no
15:04
problem.
15:05
Like
15:05
I
15:05
said,
15:06
I
15:06
tried
15:07
to
15:08
avoid
15:09
all
15:09
this
15:10
thing.
15:10
I
15:11
work
15:11
hard,
15:11
I
15:12
started
15:12
doing
15:12
my
15:12
best
15:12
all
15:13
the
15:13
time,
15:14
and
15:14
I
15:14
was
15:15
able
15:17
to
15:18
achieve
15:18
that.
15:19
When
15:19
that
15:19
reached
15:20
me
15:20
and
15:21
the
15:21
general
15:21
manager
15:22
in
15:22
Charlotte,
15:23
he
15:23
said,
15:24
look,
15:24
I'm
15:24
going
15:24
to
15:24
pay
15:25
you
15:25
all
15:25
the
15:25
expenses
15:26
coming
15:26
to
15:26
the
15:26
ballpark
15:27
every
15:27
day.
15:28
We
15:28
have
15:28
to
15:29
come
15:29
here
15:30
and
15:30
run
15:31
it
15:31
and
15:31
come
15:32
back
15:32
to
15:32
the
15:32
hotel
15:33
because
15:33
I
15:33
don't
15:33
speak
15:33
in
15:34
England
15:34
that
15:34
they
15:35
are
15:35
going
15:35
to
15:35
sign
15:36
you
15:36
to
15:36
the
15:36
rookie
15:37
league.
15:37
I
15:38
was
15:38
so
15:38
happy
15:40
when
15:40
he
15:40
gave
15:40
me
15:40
a
15:41
second
15:41
chance.
15:41
And
15:41
it
15:41
was
15:42
unbelievable.
15:42
No
15:43
matter
15:43
what,
15:44
I
15:45
went
15:45
over
15:45
there
15:46
rookie
15:46
league,
15:47
I
15:47
proved
15:48
to
15:48
everybody.
15:49
I
15:49
proved
15:50
to
15:51
the
15:51
guy
15:51
who
15:52
gave
15:52
me
15:52
the
15:52
opportunity
15:53
a
15:54
few
15:54
houses
15:55
General
15:55
man
15:55
Richard
15:56
Roberto
15:57
Mendoza,
15:58
who
15:58
pushed
15:59
me
15:59
a
15:59
lot,
16:00
helped
16:00
me
16:00
a
16:00
lot
16:01
to
16:01
be
16:02
able
16:02
to
16:02
make
16:03
the
16:03
ball
16:03
Club.
16:04
And
16:04
he's
16:04
400
16:05
in
16:05
the
16:05
rookie
16:06
league.
16:06
That
16:06
was
16:06
unbelievable.
16:08
I
16:08
blame
16:09
everything.
16:10
I
16:10
give
16:10
all
16:10
the
16:10
credit
16:11
to
16:11
God.
16:11
I
16:12
say,
16:12
ricasso,
16:13
man,
16:13
I
16:14
come
16:14
from
16:14
Cuba,
16:15
from
16:15
this
16:16
country,
16:17
from
16:17
this
16:18
farm.
16:19
I
16:19
don't
16:19
have
16:20
anything
16:21
be
16:21
able
16:21
to
16:23
make
16:23
it,
16:24
be
16:25
able
16:25
to
16:25
achieve
16:26
all
16:26
this
16:26
stuff
16:26
and
16:27
have
16:27
a
16:27
statue
16:28
in
16:29
Minnesota
16:29
in
16:30
front
16:30
of
16:30
the
16:30
stadium.
16:31
That
16:31
was
16:31
unbelievable.
16:32
Unbelievable.
16:33
But
16:35
you
16:36
have
16:36
to
16:36
believe
16:37
it
16:37
that,
16:37
you
16:38
know,
16:38
if
16:38
you
16:38
try
16:40
and
16:40
you
16:41
get
16:41
lucky,
16:41
you
16:41
have
16:42
some
16:42
people
16:42
to
16:42
help
16:42
you.
16:43
There's
16:43
no
16:44
limit
16:44
what
16:45
you
16:45
can
16:45
do.
16:45
No
16:46
limits
16:46
to
16:46
what
16:46
you
16:47
can
16:47
achieve.
16:47
Yeah,
16:47
go
16:47
ahead,
16:48
Rick.
16:48
Sorry.
16:49
I
16:49
was
16:49
gonna
16:49
say
16:50
I
16:50
wanted
16:50
to
16:50
add
16:51
on
16:51
something
16:51
to
16:52
my
16:52
dad's
16:52
story
16:52
that
16:52
you're
16:53
just
16:53
talking
16:53
about
16:54
is
16:54
that,
16:55
you
16:56
know,
16:56
people
16:57
will.
16:57
Sometimes
16:58
they'll
16:58
give
16:58
up.
16:59
Like,
16:59
they'll.
17:00
They'll
17:00
show
17:00
up
17:00
to
17:00
something
17:01
and
17:01
they'll
17:01
say,
17:01
oh,
17:01
the
17:01
line's
17:02
too
17:02
long.
17:02
I
17:03
don't
17:03
want
17:03
to
17:03
wait,
17:04
you
17:04
know,
17:04
a
17:04
half
17:05
hour
17:05
to
17:05
go
17:05
get
17:06
this
17:06
thing.
17:06
Right.
17:07
So
17:07
my
17:07
dad
17:07
talked
17:08
about,
17:08
oh,
17:08
they
17:08
gave
17:09
him
17:09
a
17:09
second
17:09
chance.
17:10
You
17:10
have
17:10
to
17:11
remember,
17:11
this
17:11
was
17:11
1961.
17:13
He
17:13
black.
17:13
He
17:14
had
17:14
to
17:14
stay
17:14
in
17:14
the
17:14
Black
17:15
hotel,
17:16
which
17:16
was
17:16
five
17:17
miles
17:17
from
17:17
the
17:17
ballpark,
17:18
and
17:18
they
17:19
only
17:19
gave
17:19
him
17:19
$2.50
17:20
a
17:21
day.
17:21
So
17:21
he
17:21
said,
17:21
well,
17:22
had
17:22
a
17:23
choice.
17:23
I
17:23
could
17:23
take
17:24
a
17:24
taxi
17:24
to
17:24
the
17:24
ballpark,
17:25
but
17:26
then
17:26
I
17:26
wouldn't
17:26
have
17:26
food
17:26
to
17:27
eat.
17:27
I
17:27
won't
17:27
eat.
17:28
So
17:28
I
17:28
want
17:28
to
17:28
eat.
17:29
I'm
17:29
walking.
17:30
So
17:30
he.
17:30
He
17:30
walked
17:31
every
17:31
day
17:32
to
17:32
the
17:32
ballpark,
17:32
five
17:33
miles,
17:34
and
17:34
then
17:34
walked
17:34
home.
17:35
Right.
17:35
And
17:35
so
17:35
it's
17:36
like
17:36
those
17:37
types
17:37
of
17:37
things.
17:37
That's
17:37
the
17:38
type
17:38
of
17:38
determination.
17:38
It
17:39
doesn't
17:39
matter.
17:39
Like,
17:39
okay,
17:40
you
17:40
have
17:40
this
17:40
opportunity.
17:41
What
17:41
are
17:41
you
17:41
gonna
17:41
do
17:41
with
17:42
it?
17:42
You
17:42
can
17:42
say,
17:42
well,
17:42
I
17:42
mean,
17:43
I'm
17:43
not
17:43
walking.
17:45
I'm
17:45
not
17:45
gonna
17:45
walk
17:46
five
17:46
miles
17:46
to
17:47
work
17:47
for
17:48
$2.
17:48
Yeah.
17:49
You
17:49
know
17:49
what?
17:50
That's
17:50
what
17:50
it
17:50
took.
17:52
That
17:52
it
17:52
did.
17:53
And
17:53
it
17:53
really
17:53
paid
17:54
off
17:54
for
17:54
you,
17:54
for
17:55
your
17:55
dad.
17:55
Yeah.
17:56
We're
17:56
speaking
17:56
tonight
17:57
to
17:57
Rick
17:57
and
17:57
Tony
17:58
Oliva.
17:58
We
17:59
have
17:59
the
17:59
honor
17:59
of
18:00

18:00

with
18:01

18:01

18:01
the
18:02
book.
18:02

18:16
to
18:17
keep
18:17
the
18:18
wholesale
18:18
cost
18:19
down
18:19
per
18:19
book,
18:20
I
18:20
decided
18:21
to
18:21
do
18:21
a
18:21
Kickstarter
18:22
campaign
18:22
where
18:22
people
18:23
could
18:23
go
18:24
on,
18:24
they
18:24
could
18:24
make
18:24
a
18:24
pledge
18:25
to
18:25
the
18:25
campaign.
18:25
I've
18:26
had
18:26
a
18:26
few
18:26
people
18:26
actually
18:27
just
18:27
donate.
18:27
They
18:27
said,
18:27
no,
18:28
just
18:28
take
18:28
the
18:28
money.
18:29
But
18:29
I
18:29
do
18:29
have
18:29
rewards
18:30
tiers
18:30
where
18:30
you
18:30
can,
18:32
in
18:32
essence,
18:32
pre
18:33
order
18:33
a
18:34
signed
18:34
copy
18:34
of
18:35
the
18:35
book.
18:35
There's
18:35
even
18:36
rewards
18:36
tiers
18:36
that
18:36
include
18:37
getting
18:37
your
18:37
name,
18:37
putting
18:38
into
18:38
credits.
18:40
I
18:40
looked
18:40
at
18:40
that
18:41
as
18:41
a
18:41
fantastic
18:42
way
18:42
to
18:42
raise
18:42
money
18:43
in
18:43
order
18:43
to
18:44
bring
18:45
down
18:45
the
18:45
cost
18:46
per
18:46
book.
18:46
Because
18:47
if
18:47
it
18:48
cost
18:48
you
18:48
$40
18:49
a
18:49
book
18:49
to
18:49
make
18:50
it,
18:50
nobody's
18:50
going
18:51
to
18:51
pay
18:51
that,
18:51
especially
18:52
the
18:52
retail
18:52
store.
18:53
So
18:53
through
18:53
the
18:53
Kickstarter,
18:54
I've
18:54
been
18:54
able
18:54
to
18:54
get
18:55
the
18:56
cost
18:56
per
18:56
book,
18:57
a
18:57
little
18:57
bit
18:57
of
18:57
inside
18:58
baseball,
18:58
no
18:58
pun
18:59
intended,
18:59
or
18:59
maybe
18:59
a
18:59
pun
19:00
is
19:00
intended.
19:00
So
19:01
that
19:01
way
19:01
I
19:01
could
19:01
bring
19:01
down
19:01
the
19:02
cost
19:02
and
19:02
I
19:02
could
19:02
bring
19:03
the
19:03
book
19:03
to
19:03
market
19:04
at
19:04
a
19:04
reasonable
19:04
price.
19:05
And
19:05
so
19:05
that's
19:06
what
19:06
I'm
19:06
doing
19:06
right
19:06
now.
19:06
It
19:06
goes
19:07
through
19:07
the
19:07
end
19:07
of
19:07
the
19:07
month,
19:08
and
19:08
then
19:09
after
19:10
the
19:10
Kickstarter
19:10
is
19:10
finished,
19:11
we'll
19:11
send
19:12
it
19:12
off
19:12
to
19:12
the
19:12
printers
19:13
and
19:13
hopefully
19:13
I'll
19:13
have
19:14
the
19:14
book
19:14
in
19:14
hand
19:15
sometime
19:15
in
19:15
July.
19:16
Wow.
19:16
Okay,
19:17
that
19:17
sounds
19:17
good.
19:18
Now,
19:18
the
19:19
folks,
19:19
as
19:20
Rick
19:20
said,
19:21
guys,
19:21
you
19:21
can
19:22
get
19:22
your
19:22
name
19:22
immortalized
19:23
in
19:23
this
19:23
book
19:24
if
19:24
you
19:24
choose
19:25
to.
19:25
You
19:25
could
19:26
get
19:26
a
19:26
signed
19:26
copy.
19:27
Is
19:27
there
19:27
a
19:28
website
19:28
the
19:28
folks
19:29
can
19:29
go
19:29
to,
19:29
Rick?
19:30
Yeah.
19:31
So
19:31
the
19:31
easiest
19:32
way
19:32
to
19:32
find
19:33
the
19:33
Kickstarter
19:33
is
19:33

19:34
can
19:34
either
19:34
go
19:34

19:34

19:37
or

19:39
or
19:39

19:39
can
19:39
go
19:39

19:49
And
19:50
that'll
19:50
take
19:50
you
19:50
to
19:50
the
19:51
right
19:51
to
19:51
the

19:51

19:51
where
19:52
you
19:52
can
19:52
learn
19:52
about
19:52
it.
19:52
You

see
19:53
some
19:53

19:54

19:54
the
19:54
COVID
19:55
inside
19:55
of
19:55
the
19:56

19:56
and
19:56
there's
19:56
a
19:56
link
19:57
right
19:57
there
19:57
where
19:57

19:58
up
19:58
on
19:58
my
19:58
mailing
19:59

19:59
and
19:59
be
20:00
notified
20:00
when
20:01
there's
20:01
more
20:01
updates
20:02
about
20:02
it
20:02
or
20:02
go
20:02
directly
20:03
to
20:03
the
20:03
Kickstarter.
20:04
Outstanding.
20:05
That
20:05
is
20:05
great.
20:06
Now,
20:06
I
20:06
want
20:06
to
20:06
ask
20:07
you,
20:07
Rick,
20:07
with
20:07
all
20:07
the
20:08
things
20:08
Tony
20:08
has
20:09
attained,
20:10
what.
20:10
What
20:11
incident
20:12
or
20:13
what
20:14
makes
20:14
you
20:14
most
20:15
proud
20:15
of
20:15
your
20:15
dad?
20:19
You
20:19
know,
20:19
to
20:20
be
20:20
honest,
20:20
it's
20:21
when
20:21
I
20:22
hear
20:22
the
20:22
stories
20:23
of
20:25
the
20:26
hostile
20:27
environment
20:28
in
20:28
the
20:28
early
20:28
1960s,
20:30
the
20:30
fact
20:30
that
20:31
he's
20:31
been
20:31
able
20:31
to
20:31
keep
20:32
such
20:33
a
20:33
positive
20:33
attitude,
20:34
because
20:35
I
20:36
can
20:36
imagine
20:37
myself
20:37
it'd
20:38
be
20:38
very
20:38
easy
20:38
to
20:39
just
20:39
be
20:39
angry
20:39
and
20:40
bitter
20:41
dealing
20:42
with
20:42
that
20:42
stuff.
20:42
Like
20:42
there
20:43
was
20:43
a.
20:45
He
20:45
could
20:45
tell
20:45
you
20:46
the
20:46
exact
20:46
story,
20:46
but
20:47
like
20:47
there
20:47
was
20:47
a
20:47
place
20:47
where
20:47
they'd
20:48
play
20:48
where
20:49
people
20:49
would
20:49
be
20:49
saying,
20:49
and
20:50
we're
20:50
this
20:50
and
20:50
we're
20:51
that,
20:51
throwing
20:52
stuff
20:52
at
20:52
him,
20:53
yelling,
20:53
go
20:54
back
20:54
and
20:54
play
20:54
with
20:54
the
20:55
monkeys
20:55
in
20:55
the
20:55
jungle.
20:56
All
20:56
this
20:57
kind
20:57
of
20:57
stuff.
20:58
And
20:58
so
20:59
they.
20:59
But
20:59
it
20:59
was
20:59
no
20:59
I
21:00
pro
21:00
blame
21:00
his.
21:00
His
21:01
coach
21:01
said,
21:01
you
21:01
know
21:01
what?
21:01
We'll
21:02
put
21:02
you
21:02
in
21:02
center
21:02
field.
21:02
You
21:02
won't
21:03
be
21:03
bothered
21:03
by
21:03
those
21:03
people.
21:05
For
21:05
people
21:06
that
21:06
are
21:06
fans,
21:06
they
21:06
know
21:06
he's
21:07
a
21:07
right
21:07
fielder.
21:07
And
21:07
I'm
21:07
just
21:07
like,
21:08
could
21:08
you
21:08
imagine
21:10
that
21:10
happening
21:11
today?
21:12
Right?
21:13
Like,
21:13
you
21:14
would
21:14
be
21:14
walked
21:14
out
21:14
of
21:14
the
21:14
stadium,
21:15
banned
21:15
for
21:15
life.
21:16
Like,
21:16
the
21:17
things
21:17
that
21:17
these
21:17
guys
21:18
had
21:18
to
21:18
put
21:18
up
21:18
with
21:18
in
21:19
the
21:19
60s
21:19
is
21:20
just
21:20
absolutely
21:22
insane.
21:22
And
21:22
so
21:23
for
21:23
me,
21:23
the
21:23
thing
21:24
that
21:24
makes
21:24
me
21:24
most
21:24
proud
21:25
is
21:25
I
21:26
look
21:26
at
21:26
it
21:26
as
21:27
his
21:27
way
21:28
that
21:28
he
21:28
still
21:29
has
21:29
a
21:29
smile
21:29
on
21:30
his
21:30
face,
21:30
still
21:31
has
21:31
a
21:31
positive
21:32
attitude.
21:33
And
21:33
is
21:33
able
21:34
to
21:34
not
21:35
hold
21:35
on
21:36
to
21:37
those
21:37
events
21:38
in
21:38
terms
21:38
of
21:39
just
21:40
being
21:40
bitter.
21:40
I
21:40
just
21:41
read
21:41
an
21:41
article,
21:42
someone
21:43
had
21:43
done
21:43
a
21:43
story
21:43
about
21:44
him,
21:45
had
21:45
interviewed
21:46
my
21:46
dad
21:46
and
21:46
he
21:46
said,
21:47
you
21:47
know,
21:47
when
21:48
the
21:48
guys
21:49
and
21:49
I,
21:49
we
21:49
look
21:50
back
21:50
in
21:50
those
21:50
days,
21:50
we
21:50
just
21:51
laugh
21:51
because
21:51
it's
21:51
unbelievable.
21:52
And
21:52
I'm
21:52
like,
21:52
how
21:53
do
21:53
you
21:53
laugh?
21:54
Like,
21:54
I
21:54
look
21:54
at
21:54
it
21:54
and
21:55
I
21:55
have
21:55
tears
21:55
in
21:55
my
21:56
eyes.
21:56
Like
21:56
I
21:56
can't
21:56
believe
21:57
that
21:57
you
21:57
had
21:57
to
21:57
deal
21:57
with
21:58
this.
21:58
And
21:59
so
21:59
that
21:59
for
22:00
me,
22:00
that's
22:00
the
22:00
most
22:00
touching
22:01
part
22:01
of
22:01
the
22:01
story
22:03
is
22:03
that
22:04
is
22:04
what
22:04
he
22:04
had
22:05
to
22:05
go
22:05
through
22:05
and
22:06
he
22:06
made
22:06
it
22:06
out
22:07
still
22:07
positive.
22:08
And
22:08
then
22:09
just
22:09
to
22:09
see
22:09
how
22:09
the
22:09
world
22:10
has
22:10
changed.
22:11
The
22:11
world
22:11
used
22:11
to
22:11
be
22:11
like
22:12
that
22:12
and
22:12
now
22:12
he
22:12
has
22:12
a
22:13
statue
22:14
in
22:14
front
22:14
of
22:14
the
22:14
target
22:15
field.
22:15
I
22:15
mean
22:15
it's.
22:16
Imagine
22:16
that.
22:18
Amazing.
22:20
I
22:20
want
22:20
to
22:21
ask
22:21
Tony
22:22
a
22:22
question,
22:23
Rick,
22:24
if
22:24
you
22:24
don't
22:24
mind.
22:25
What
22:25
pitchers
22:26
gave
22:26
you
22:27
the
22:27
most
22:27
trouble,
22:27
Tony,
22:28
during
22:28
your
22:28
career?
22:29
I
22:29
know
22:29
during
22:30
that
22:30
time
22:30
in
22:30
baseball,
22:31
I
22:31
remember
22:31
it
22:31
when
22:31
I
22:32
was
22:32
a
22:32
kid,
22:32
you
22:33
had
22:33
so
22:33
many
22:33
great
22:34
pitchers,
22:35
some
22:35
hall
22:35
of
22:35
Famers,
22:36
many
22:37
borderline
22:37
could
22:38
be
22:38
in
22:38
the
22:38
hall
22:38
of
22:38
Fame.
22:39
Who
22:39
gave
22:39
you
22:40
fits
22:40
when
22:40
you
22:40
came
22:41
to
22:41
the
22:41
plate?
22:42
Well,
22:44
really
22:45
the
22:46
one
22:46
that
22:48
pitcher
22:48
gave
22:48
me
22:48
hard
22:49
time
22:49
to
22:49
get
22:49
a
22:49
basis.
22:50
But
22:52
the
22:52
tough
22:53
picture
22:53
for
22:53
me
22:53
that
22:54
really
22:54
analyzed
22:55
to
22:55
face
22:56
one
22:56
the
23:01
very,
23:02
very
23:02
hot
23:03
and
23:03
very
23:04
wow.
23:05
And
23:05
the
23:05
next
23:05
speech
23:06
was
23:07
Norah
23:07
Ryan.
23:08
Oh,
23:08
boy,
23:10
you
23:11
know,
23:11
everybody
23:11
know
23:12
he
23:12
was
23:12
very,
23:12
very
23:13
well.
23:14
But
23:14
he
23:14
said
23:14
to
23:14
the
23:14
boy
23:15
for
23:15
120
23:16
miles
23:16
per
23:16
hour,
23:17
the
23:17
boy
23:17
looks
23:18
like
23:18
if
23:18
he
23:18
hit
23:18
you
23:19
and
23:19
go
23:19
through
23:19
your.
23:20
Through
23:20
your
23:20
body.
23:21
Those
23:21
two
23:21
guys,
23:22
I
23:22
don't
23:22
like
23:23
your
23:23
face
23:23
if
23:23
you
23:23
don't
23:24
have
23:24
to.
23:25
But
23:26
in
23:26
those
23:26
days
23:26
you
23:27
don't
23:27
have
23:27
a
23:27
choice.
23:27
You
23:27
have
23:28
to
23:28
face
23:28
it.
23:28
You
23:28
have
23:29
to
23:29
face
23:29
the
23:29
best.
23:30
You
23:30
have
23:30
to
23:30
face
23:30
everybody.
23:31
But
23:32
those
23:32
are
23:32
the
23:33
two
23:33
guys
23:33
I
23:33
say,
23:34
hey,
23:34
if
23:34
I
23:34
don't
23:34
demonstrate
23:35
to
23:35
them
23:36
good.
23:37
Two
23:37
great
23:38
Nolan
23:38
Ryan
23:39
folks
23:39
and
23:39
the
23:40
Great
23:40
sudden
23:40
Sam
23:41
McDowell
23:41
both
23:42
threw
23:42
very
23:42
hard.
23:43
And
23:44
Sam
23:44
has
23:44
an
23:44
inspirational
23:45
story.
23:45
We've
23:46
had
23:46
him
23:46
on
23:46
the
23:46
show.
23:47
A
23:47
great
23:48
man
23:48
who
23:49
goes
23:49
on
23:49
to
23:50
as
23:50
Tony
23:50
does,
23:51
set
23:52
an
23:52
example
23:53
for
23:53
kids
23:53
and
23:54
for
23:54
grownups
23:55
too.
23:56
A
23:56
great
23:56
story
23:57
from
23:57
him
23:57
now.
23:58
You
23:58
guys
23:58
going
23:58
to
23:58
be
23:58
in
23:59
Cooperstown
23:59
this
24:00
summer?
24:01
Yes,
24:02
I
24:03
hope
24:03
so.
24:05
I
24:05
have
24:05
a
24:05
chance
24:06
before
24:06
I
24:06
get
24:07
to
24:07
the
24:07
hall
24:07
of
24:07
Fame.
24:07
I
24:08
have
24:08
a
24:08
chance
24:09
being
24:09
the
24:10
Cooperstown
24:11
a
24:11
few
24:11
times,
24:12
but
24:12
now
24:13
they
24:13
invite
24:13
me
24:13
every
24:14
year.
24:14
I
24:15
can
24:15
go
24:15
and
24:15
relax
24:16
now
24:16
and
24:17
sit
24:17
down
24:17
there,
24:17
enjoy
24:18
myself
24:18
in
24:19
that
24:19
beautiful
24:19
hotel
24:20
on
24:20
Lake
24:21
oh,
24:21
the
24:21
ODA
24:21
saga.
24:22
Yeah,
24:23
my
24:23
dream
24:23
and
24:24
my
24:24
wife,
24:24
we
24:25
want
24:25
to
24:25
get
24:25
into
24:25
the
24:25
ODA
24:26
saga
24:26
someday
24:27
and
24:28
you
24:28
never
24:28
know
24:29
who
24:29
stayed
24:29
in
24:29
the
24:29
room
24:29
you
24:30
were
24:30
in.
24:30
I
24:30
mean,
24:31
every
24:31
year
24:31
it's
24:32
packed
24:32
full
24:32
of
24:32
immortals.
24:33
And
24:34
the
24:35
back
24:35
porch,
24:35
I
24:35
would
24:36
like
24:36
to
24:36
get
24:36
on
24:36
that
24:36
back
24:37
porch,
24:37
sit
24:37
in
24:37
a
24:38
rocker
24:38
and
24:38
just
24:39
dream.
24:42
I
24:42
tell
24:42
you,
24:43
if
24:43
you
24:43
get
24:44
in
24:44
touch
24:44
with
24:44
my
24:45
song,
24:45
I
24:46
could
24:46
be
24:46
there
24:47
and
24:47
maybe
24:47
be
24:48
able
24:48
to
24:48
give
24:49
you
24:49
a
24:49
pass
24:49
or
24:50
something.
24:50
You'll
24:50
be
24:50
able
24:50
to
24:51
go
24:51
enjoy
24:51
that,
24:52
at
24:52
least
24:52
for
24:52
a
24:52
short
24:53
time.
24:53
That
24:53
would
24:54
be
24:54
amazing,
24:54
Tony.
24:55
I'll
24:55
tell
24:55
you
24:55
now,
24:56
Rick,
24:56
what
24:56
is
24:56
the
24:57
next
24:57
step
24:57
for
24:57
no
24:58
Eye
24:58
Problema?
24:59
So
25:00
the
25:00
next
25:00
step
25:01
is
25:02
Friday
25:02
night,
25:02
the
25:03
Kickstarter
25:03
ends.
25:04
We
25:04
will
25:04
compile
25:05
all
25:05
the
25:05
names
25:05
of
25:05
the
25:06
people
25:06
who
25:07
wanted
25:07
to
25:08
get
25:08
their
25:08
name
25:08
put
25:08
in
25:08
the
25:08
book.
25:09
So
25:09
I
25:09
can
25:09
send
25:10
that
25:10
over
25:10
to
25:11
the
25:12
publisher.
25:12
They'll
25:13
finish
25:13
up
25:14
adding
25:14
the
25:14
acknowledgments
25:15
and
25:15
the
25:15
thank
25:16
you
25:16
pages.
25:17
We'll
25:18
go
25:18
through
25:18
with
25:18
a
25:18
fine
25:19
tooth
25:19
comb,
25:19
make
25:19
sure
25:20
that
25:20
we
25:20
dotted
25:21
our
25:21
I's
25:21
and
25:21
crossed
25:21
our
25:22
t's
25:22
and
25:22
dotted
25:23
the
25:23
lowercase
25:23
J's.
25:24
You
25:24
don't
25:24
want
25:24
to
25:24
forget
25:24
about
25:24
those.
25:25
Make
25:25
sure
25:25
that
25:25
everything
25:26
looks
25:26
perfect.
25:26
And
25:26
then
25:27
we'll
25:27
send
25:27
it
25:27
off
25:27
to
25:27
the
25:27
printer.
25:27
I'm
25:28
hoping
25:28
to
25:28
get
25:28
it
25:28
to
25:28
the
25:28
printer
25:30
by
25:30
April
25:30
1st,
25:31
but,
25:31
you
25:31
know,
25:32
it
25:32
will
25:32
happen
25:32
when
25:32
it
25:33
happens,
25:33
but
25:33
it'll
25:33
be
25:34
soon.
25:34
It'll
25:34
be
25:34
within
25:35
the
25:35
next
25:35
six
25:36
weeks
25:36
is
25:36
what
25:36
we're
25:37
shooting
25:37
for.
25:38
And
25:38
then
25:38
once
25:39
it
25:39
goes
25:39
to
25:39
the
25:39
printer,
25:40
we
25:40
wait
25:41
for
25:41
the
25:41
books
25:42
to
25:42
get
25:42
in
25:42
hand.
25:42
And
25:42
if
25:43
you
25:43
don't
25:43
mind
25:43
me
25:43
telling
25:43
just
25:44
one
25:44
last
25:44
story,
25:45
for
25:45
sure,
25:46
go
25:46
right
25:46
ahead,
25:46
Rick.
25:47
Yeah,
25:48
for
25:48
anyone.
25:48
That's
25:49
that,
25:50
you
25:51
know,
25:51
still
25:52
playing
25:52
baseball
25:53
or
25:53
has
25:53
a
25:53
kid
25:53
in
25:54
Little
25:54
League.
25:54
I
25:54
asked
25:54
my
25:54
dad
25:55
once,
25:55
like,
25:56
so
25:56
what
25:56
do
25:56
you
25:57
tell
25:57
as
25:57
a
25:57
coach?
25:58
What
25:58
do
25:58
you
25:58
tell
25:58
someone
25:59
to
25:59
ask
25:59
the
25:59
face
25:59
of
25:59
San
26:00
McDowell
26:01
or
26:01
Nolan
26:02
Pitcher?
26:02
Like,
26:02
how
26:02
do
26:02
you.
26:03
How
26:03
do
26:03
you
26:03
hit
26:03
that
26:03
picture?
26:04
And
26:05
his
26:05
response
26:05
was,
26:06
you
26:06
don't
26:06
hit
26:06
the
26:06
pitcher.
26:07
You
26:07
hit
26:07
the
26:07
ball.
26:07
Watch
26:08
the
26:08
ball.
26:08
You
26:08
hit
26:08
the
26:08
ball,
26:09
right?
26:10
Yeah.
26:11
Well,
26:11
that
26:12
makes
26:12
sense.
26:12
He
26:12
goes,
26:12
don't
26:12
worry
26:13
about
26:13
who's
26:13
throwing
26:13
it.
26:14
Just
26:14
watch
26:14
the
26:14
ball
26:14
and
26:15
swing
26:15
the
26:15
bat,
26:15
like,
26:16
all
26:16
right,
26:16
well,
26:16
I
26:17
can.
26:17
I
26:17
can
26:17
do.
26:18
Well,
26:18
I
26:18
don't
26:18
know
26:18
if

26:36
Thanks

26:37
taking
26:37
time
26:37
out
26:37
of
26:38
your

26:38

26:39
to
26:39
spend
26:39
it
26:39
with
26:39
us
26:40
here
26:40
in
26:40
New
26:40
York.
26:41
Wish
26:42
you
26:42
guys
26:42
all
26:42
the
26:42
best.
26:43
With
26:43
the
26:43
new
26:43
book,
26:44
folks,
26:44
again,
26:44
that's
26:44
called
26:45
Noe
26:45
Problema
26:46
the
26:46
Amazing
26:47
Story
26:47
of
26:48
Tony
26:48
Oliva.
26:48
And
26:49
where
26:49
will
26:49
it
26:49
be
26:50
available?
26:50
Rick,
26:51
Just
26:51
let
26:52
the
26:52
folks
26:52
know.
26:53
Will
26:53
it
26:53
be
26:53
available
26:54
on
26:54
Amazon
26:54
or
26:54
any
26:55
place
26:55
they
26:55
can
26:55
order
26:55
it
26:56
like
26:56
that?
26:57
Yeah,
26:57
it'll
26:58
be
26:58
on
26:58
Amazon
26:59
once
26:59
it
26:59
comes
26:59
out.
27:00
The
27:01
publisher
27:01
works
27:02
directly
27:02
with
27:02
distributors
27:03
to
27:03
get
27:03
it
27:03
into
27:03
bookstores,
27:04
but
27:05
I
27:05
think
27:05
the
27:05
easiest
27:05
place
27:06
would
27:06
be
27:06
to
27:06
either
27:07
check
27:07
back
27:07
on
27:07
my
27:08
website,
27:08
rickoleva.com
27:10
or
27:10
check
27:11
Amazon
27:11
when
27:11
it
27:11
comes
27:11
out.
27:12
That
27:12
sounds
27:13
great.
27:13
Well,
27:13
thanks
27:14
again,
27:14
guys.
27:14
Tony,
27:15

your
27:16
buddy
27:16
Rod
27:16
Careu
27:17
for
27:17
us.
27:17
We'd
27:17
like
27:18
to
27:18
have
27:18
him
27:18
back.
27:19
We'll
27:19
be
27:20
talking
27:20
to
27:20
Rhonda
27:21

27:22
he
27:22
may
27:22
set
27:22
that
27:23
up
27:23
for
27:23
us.
27:23
But
27:23
give
27:24
him
27:24
all
27:24
our
27:24
best
27:25

27:25
enjoy

27:44
Thank
27:44

27:44
Appreciate,

Well,

29:18
it's
29:19
here.
29:20
No,
29:21
not
29:22
the

29:26
It's
29:26
spring
29:27
training
29:28
and
29:28
I
29:28
watched
29:29
two
29:29
games
29:29
on
29:29
SNY
29:30
this
29:30
weekend
29:31
from
29:31
Port
29:31
St.
29:32
Lucie.
29:32
Couldn't
29:33
believe
29:33
it.
29:33
On
29:33
Saturday,
29:34
Juan
29:34
Soto
29:35
goes
29:35
deep
29:36
in
29:36
his
29:36
first
29:37
Mets
29:37
at
29:37
bat.
29:38
That
29:38
was
29:39
worth
29:39
every
29:39
penny
29:40
to
29:40
me,
29:40
folks.
29:40
The
29:40
Grapefruit
29:41
League
29:42
and
29:42
the
29:42
Cactus
29:43
League
29:43
are
29:44
in
29:44
full
29:44
swing.
29:46
Just
29:46
what
29:46
we've
29:46
been
29:47
waiting
29:47
for
29:47
all
29:47
winter.
29:48
The
29:48
countdown
29:48
is
29:49
over
29:49
and
29:50
we
29:50
have
29:50
blasted
29:51
off.
29:51
Baseball
29:52
is
29:52
back
29:53
and
29:53
if
29:53
you're
29:54
heading
29:54
south
29:55
for
29:55
a
29:55
vacation
29:56
and
29:56
if
29:57
you'll
29:57
be
29:57
stopping
29:57
by
29:57
any
29:58
of
29:58
the
29:58
camps,
29:59
let
29:59
us
29:59
know
30:00
here.
30:00
I
30:00
would
30:01
love
30:01
to
30:01
get
30:02
reports
30:02
on
30:02
your
30:03
experience.
30:04
I
30:04
May
30:05
visit
30:06
the
30:06
Mets
30:06
camp
30:06
this
30:07
year.
30:07
Looking
30:08
forward
30:08
to
30:08
it.
30:10
Got
30:12
five
30:12
games
30:13
planned,
30:14
Port
30:14
St.
30:15
Lucie,
30:16
three
30:16
games.
30:17
And
30:18
then
30:19
we're
30:19
going
30:19
to
30:19
hit
30:20
West
30:21
Palm
30:21
beach,
30:21
the
30:22
ballpark
30:22
of
30:22
the
30:22
West
30:23
Palm
30:23
Beaches
30:24
where
30:24
the
30:25
Houston
30:25
Astros
30:26
share
30:26
that
30:27
complex.
30:27
I
30:28
don't
30:28
know
30:29
exactly
30:29
who
30:29
they
30:30
share
30:30
it
30:30
with.
30:31
I'm
30:32
forgetful
30:32
at
30:33
the
30:33
moment.
30:34
We
30:34
also
30:34
plan
30:35
on
30:36
visiting
30:36
Jupiter.
30:37
Not
30:37
the
30:37
planet.
30:39
I
30:39
visited
30:40
Jupiter
30:40
in
30:40
the
30:41
past
30:41
many
30:41
times
30:42
while
30:42
I
30:42
was
30:42
in
30:42
college.
30:44
Jupiter,
30:45
Florida,
30:47
Roger
30:47
Dean
30:48
Stadium,
30:48
which
30:48
is
30:50
the
30:50
home
30:50
of
30:50
the
30:50
St.
30:51
Louis
30:51
Cardinals,
30:52
they
30:52
share
30:52
that
30:52
facility
30:53
as
30:53
well.
30:54
So
30:54
if
30:54
anybody's
30:55
going
30:55
down
30:56
south,
30:57
let
30:57
us
30:57
know.
30:57
Maybe
30:58
we
30:58
can
30:58
meet
30:58
up,
30:59
share
31:00
our
31:00
experiences.
31:00
I
31:01
know
31:01
Dave
31:01

31:04
down
31:05
in
31:05
Port
31:05
St
31:05
Lucie
31:06
the
31:06
same
31:06
time
31:06
that
31:07
we
31:07
are
31:07
and
31:08
look
31:09
forward
31:09
to
31:09
meeting
31:09
some
31:09
of
31:10
the
31:10
Met
31:10
fans
31:11
that
31:11
we
31:12
encounter
31:13
online
31:14

31:14
just
31:14

31:14
get
31:15

31:15
meet

be
31:17
a
31:17
lot
31:17
of
31:18
fun.
31:18
So

31:19
look
31:19
forward
31:19
to
31:20
that.
31:21

32:01
Okay.
32:02
Now
32:02
I
32:03
want
32:03
to
32:03
ask
32:03
you,
32:03
growing
32:04
up
32:04
out
32:04
in
32:04
CI,
32:05
who
32:05
were
32:06
your
32:06
sports
32:06
heroes
32:07
and
32:07
teams
32:07
when
32:07
you
32:07
were
32:07
a
32:08
kid?
32:08
We're
32:08
the
32:08
same
32:08
age,
32:09
but
32:09
I'm
32:09
a
32:09
Saint
32:10
John
32:10
the
32:10
Baptist
32:11
guy.
32:11
I
32:12
want
32:12
to
32:12
see
32:12
if
32:12
we
32:12
have
32:13
any
32:13
similarities
32:14
and
32:14
favorites
32:15
when
32:16
you
32:16
were
32:16
a
32:16
kid.
32:17
Well,
32:17
I
32:17
grew
32:18
up
32:18
a
32:18
Giants
32:18
fan.
32:19
My
32:19
dad
32:20
had
32:20
literally
32:21
one
32:21
season
32:21
ticket
32:22
that
32:22
he
32:22
bought
32:22
with
32:23
nine
32:23
other
32:23
friends
32:24
he
32:24
grew
32:24
up
32:24
with.
32:25
They
32:25
all
32:25
had
32:25
one
32:26
season
32:26
ticket.
32:27
So
32:28
we
32:28
were
32:28
New
32:28
York
32:29
Giants
32:29
in
32:29
my
32:30
house
32:30
and
32:30
we
32:30
were
32:30
Yankees
32:31
all
32:31
the
32:31
way.
32:32
And.
32:33
But,
32:34
but
32:34
I
32:34
really
32:35
followed
32:35
when
32:36
I
32:36
was
32:36
in
32:36
junior
32:37
high
32:37
and
32:37
high
32:37
school.
32:38
Joe
32:38
Namath.
32:39
I
32:39
love
32:39
Joe
32:39
Namath.
32:40
Oh,
32:40
yeah,
32:40
we
32:41
all
32:41
did.
32:41
And
32:42
we
32:42
remember
32:42
those
32:43
days
32:43
when
32:43
the
32:44
jets
32:44
actually.
32:45
Look
32:46
it
32:46
up,
32:46
folks.
32:47
Look
32:47
it
32:47
up.
32:47
You
32:47
kids
32:48
out
32:48
there.
32:48
They
32:48
actually
32:49
won
32:49
a
32:49
Super
32:49
Bowl.
32:50
And
32:50
Mike
32:51
remembers
32:51
that
32:51
as
32:51
well
32:52
as
32:52
I
32:52
do.
32:52
With
32:53
Joe
32:53
Namath
32:53
at
32:54
the
32:54
helm,
32:54
I
32:54
was
32:55
the
32:55
opposite,
32:55
Mike.
32:56
I
32:56
was
32:57
a
32:57
Mets,
32:58
jets
32:58
guy.
33:00
Yeah.
33:00
So
33:00
was
33:01
my
33:01
wife's
33:01
family.
33:02
Her
33:02
family
33:03
was
33:03
my
33:03
wife
33:04
Is
33:04
also
33:04
from
33:04
Central
33:05
and
33:06
went
33:06
to
33:06
Central
33:07
Isop
33:07
High
33:07
School.
33:08
And
33:09
her
33:09
family
33:09
was
33:09
the
33:10
same
33:10
as
33:10
you?
33:10
Yeah,
33:12
it
33:12
seems
33:12
like
33:13
those
33:13
two
33:14
go
33:14
together.
33:16
Yankees,
33:16
Giants,
33:17
Jets,
33:17
Mets.
33:18
And
33:19
they
33:19
all
33:20
make
33:20
you
33:20
suffer
33:20
at
33:20
one
33:21
time
33:21
or
33:21
another.
33:21
Now,
33:22
your
33:22
high
33:22
school
33:23
days
33:23
at
33:23
CI
33:24
Mike
33:25
getting
33:26
written
33:26
up
33:26
and
33:26
Newsday
33:27
and
33:27
stuff.
33:28
Tell
33:28
us
33:28
about
33:28
your
33:28
high
33:28
school
33:29
days.
33:30
Well,
33:30
I
33:31
was
33:31
blessed
33:32
at
33:32
that
33:32
early
33:33
time
33:33
to
33:33
have
33:33
great
33:34
coaches
33:34
that
33:35
really
33:35
mentored
33:35
me
33:36
and,
33:36
you
33:36
know,
33:36
taught
33:37
me
33:37
how
33:37
to
33:37
do
33:37
things
33:38
right.
33:38
George
33:38
O'Leary
33:39
was
33:40
my
33:40
high
33:40
school
33:41
football
33:41
coach
33:41
and,
33:42
you
33:42
know,
33:42
and
33:42
he
33:42
went
33:42
on
33:42
to,
33:43
you
33:43
know,
33:44
great
33:44
fame
33:44
at
33:44
UCF
33:45
and
33:46
Syracuse
33:47
and
33:48
Georgia
33:48
Tech
33:49
and
33:49
he
33:49
had
33:49
a
33:49
great
33:49
career.
33:50
And
33:52
Ben
33:52
Morrisselli,
33:53
my
33:53
basketball
33:54
coach,
33:54
who
33:54
was
33:55
also
33:55
a
33:55
teacher
33:55
at
33:56
Central
33:56
Isop
33:56
High
33:57
School,
33:57
was
33:57
very
33:57
influential
33:58
to
33:58
me.
33:59
You
33:59
know,
33:59
taught
34:00
me
34:00
how
34:00
to
34:00
work,
34:01
taught
34:01
me
34:01
how
34:01
to
34:01
prepare.
34:03
So
34:03
that's
34:03
what
34:04
I
34:04
remember
34:04
most
34:04
about
34:05
Central
34:05
Isop.
34:05
I
34:06
didn't
34:06
get
34:06
in
34:06
much
34:06
trouble
34:06
in
34:07
school.
34:07
My
34:07
dad
34:07
would
34:07
have
34:08
killed
34:08
me.
34:09
But
34:10
it
34:10
was
34:10
all
34:10
sports
34:11
back
34:11
in
34:11
those
34:11
days.
34:12
That's
34:13
great.
34:13
Now,
34:14
you
34:14
attended
34:15
the
34:15
University
34:15
of
34:15
Maryland,
34:16
College
34:16
Park.
34:17
You
34:17
played
34:18
quarterback
34:18
in
34:18
college.
34:20
I
34:20
did.
34:21
Can
34:21
you
34:21
believe
34:21
that?
34:21
Yeah,
34:23
I
34:23
played
34:23
quarterback
34:24
at
34:25
CI
34:26
Was
34:27
recruited
34:27
by
34:28
a
34:28
good
34:28
number
34:28
of
34:28
schools
34:29
and
34:29
some
34:30
for
34:30
athlete
34:31
and
34:32
some
34:32
for
34:32
quarterback
34:33
and
34:33
some
34:34
for,
34:35
you
34:35
know,
34:35
telling
34:35
me
34:36
right
34:36
away
34:36
they
34:36
were
34:36
going
34:36
to
34:36
move
34:37
me
34:37
to
34:37
a
34:37
different
34:37
position.
34:38
I
34:38
tried
34:38
Maryland.
34:40
They
34:40
were
34:40
close
34:41
enough
34:41
for
34:41
my
34:41
dad
34:42
and
34:42
mom
34:42
to
34:42
drive
34:43
to
34:43
the
34:43
games.
34:43
It
34:43
was
34:43
only,
34:44
you
34:44
know,
34:44
about
34:44
a
34:44
little
34:45
under
34:45
a
34:45
five
34:45
hour
34:46
drive.
34:47
They
34:47
certainly,
34:47
they
34:48
certainly
34:48
weren't
34:48
going
34:48
to
34:48
be
34:49
able
34:49
to
34:49
afford
34:49
to
34:50
fly
34:50
to
34:51
schools
34:51
that
34:51
were
34:51
far
34:52
away.
34:52
So
34:52
we
34:52
kind
34:52
of
34:53
limited.
34:53
I
34:53
limited
34:54
my,
34:54
my
34:55
options.
34:56
I
34:56
really
34:56
enjoyed
34:57
Maryland.
34:57
I
34:58
played
34:58
quarterback
34:58
there.
34:59
I
34:59
got
34:59
hurt
35:00
in
35:00
the
35:01
spring
35:01
game
35:01
of
35:02
going
35:02
into
35:02
my
35:03
junior
35:03
year.
35:03
I
35:03
started
35:04
my
35:04
junior
35:04
and
35:05
senior
35:05
year.
35:05
I
35:05
wasn't
35:06
very
35:06
good.
35:06
I
35:06
wasn't
35:07
as
35:07
good
35:07
as
35:07
Boomer.
35:08
And.
35:09
And
35:09
when
35:09
I
35:10
went,
35:10
when
35:10
I
35:10
went
35:11
to
35:11
the
35:11
NFL
35:12
because
35:12
of
35:12
lack
35:12
of
35:13
arm
35:13
strength,
35:14
they
35:15
moved
35:15
me
35:15
to
35:15
tight
35:16
end
35:16
in
35:16
1981.
35:17
Seattle
35:18
Seahawks.
35:18
Now,
35:19
speaking
35:19
of
35:19
Boomer
35:20
Esiason,
35:20
Mike,
35:21
was
35:21
there
35:21
much
35:22
interaction
35:23
between
35:23
you
35:23
guys
35:24
at
35:24
CI
35:25
and
35:25
Boomer
35:25
at
35:26
East
35:26
Islip?
35:27
Well,
35:28
Boomer
35:28
was
35:28
a
35:28
great
35:29
player.
35:29
Really
35:29
good
35:30
basketball
35:30
player,
35:30
too.
35:31
And
35:31
outstanding
35:32
pitcher.
35:32
Basketball
35:32
too?
35:33
Yeah,
35:34
yeah.
35:34
But
35:34
I
35:34
remember
35:35
my
35:35
brother
35:35
John,
35:36
who
35:36
also
35:36
played
35:36
at
35:36
Maryland
35:37
and
35:37
went
35:37
to
35:37
Central
35:38
Isop.
35:39
We
35:39
recruited
35:40
Boomer
35:40
and
35:40
his
35:40
dad
35:41
down
35:41
to
35:41
Maryland.
35:42
Boomer,
35:42
I
35:42
think
35:43
at
35:43
that
35:43
time,
35:43
and
35:43
he
35:43
could
35:44
correct
35:44
me
35:44
if
35:44
I'm
35:44
wrong,
35:45
you
35:45
know,
35:45
he
35:45
will.
35:46
He
35:47
only
35:47
had
35:47
one
35:47
other
35:47
offer,
35:48
which
35:48
was
35:48
at
35:49
the
35:49
Boston
35:49
University
35:50
to
35:50
play
35:51
baseball
35:51
and
35:51
football.
35:52
But
35:53
we
35:54
hope
35:54
we
35:54
had
35:54
something
35:54
to
35:54
do
35:55
with
35:55
convincing
35:55
him
35:55
to
35:56
go
35:56
to
35:56
Maryland,
35:56
where
35:56
he
35:56
went
35:57
on
35:57
to
35:57
great
35:57
fame.
35:58
And
35:58
he
35:58
went
35:58
on
35:58
to
35:58
great,
35:59
of
35:59
course,
36:00
a
36:00
great
36:00
career
36:00
in
36:00
the
36:00
NFL
36:01
and
36:01
in
36:02
the
36:02
media.
36:02
He
36:03
certainly
36:03
did
36:03
a
36:03
great
36:04
career.
36:04
From
36:04
Boomer
36:05
es
36:05
and
36:05
another
36:06
local
36:06
kid
36:07
now
36:07
going
36:08
on
36:08
to
36:08
coaching.
36:09
Was
36:09
there
36:10
anybody
36:10
that
36:11
you
36:11
met
36:11
along
36:11
the
36:11
way?
36:12
I
36:12
know
36:12
you
36:12
told
36:12
us
36:13
about
36:13
your
36:13
high
36:13
school
36:13
coaches
36:15
who
36:15
influenced
36:16
your
36:16
style
36:17
of
36:17
coaching.
36:17
Was
36:17
it
36:18
those
36:18
guys
36:18
at
36:18
Central
36:19
Islip?
36:20
Well,
36:21
it
36:21
was
36:21
really
36:21
Chuck
36:22
Knox
36:22
at
36:23
Seattle.
36:24
I
36:25
played
36:25
for
36:25
Chuck
36:26
from
36:26
1983
36:27
to
36:27
1990.
36:28
He
36:28
had
36:29
great
36:29
influence
36:30
on
36:30
me
36:31
as
36:31
a
36:32
player.
36:32
I
36:33
was
36:33
an
36:33
average
36:34
player,
36:34
a
36:34
backup
36:35
tight
36:35
end
36:35
for
36:35
many
36:36
years.
36:36
I
36:36
actually
36:37
played
36:37
14
36:37
years
36:37
in
36:38
the
36:38
NFL
36:39
and
36:39
most
36:39
of
36:39
the
36:39
hats
36:40
I
36:40
wore
36:40
were
36:41
backup
36:41
blocking
36:42
tight
36:42
end.
36:43
You
36:43
know,
36:43
quarterback
36:44
to
36:44
blocking
36:44
tight
36:44
end.
36:45
That's
36:45
a
36:45
great
36:45
transition.
36:48
And
36:48
Chuck
36:49
Notch
36:49
really
36:50
mentored
36:50
me,
36:51
too.
36:51
He
36:51
knew
36:52
that
36:52
when
36:52
I
36:52
retired,
36:53
I
36:53
wanted
36:53
to
36:53
be
36:53
a
36:54
coach.
36:54
And
36:54
he
36:54
really
36:55
taught
36:55
me
36:55
how
36:55
to
36:55
prepare
36:56
again,
36:56
how
36:57
to
36:57
prepare,
36:57
how
36:57
to
36:58
work,
36:58
how
36:59
to
36:59
set
36:59
goals,
37:00
you
37:00
know,
37:00
how
37:01
not
37:01
to
37:01
make
37:01
silly
37:02
mistakes,
37:02
mental
37:03
mistakes.
37:03
And
37:04
he
37:04
was
37:04
the
37:05
biggest
37:05
influence,
37:06
I
37:06
believe.
37:06
But
37:06
I
37:06
also
37:07
played
37:07
for
37:07
some
37:08
great
37:09
other
37:09
offensive.
37:10
Worked
37:10
with
37:10
some
37:10
other
37:11
offensive
37:11
line
37:11
coaches
37:12
and
37:12
Joe
37:12
Bugle
37:13
with
37:13
the
37:13
Redskins
37:14
and
37:14
Jim
37:15
Hannifin.
37:15
Those
37:16
are
37:16
two
37:16
great
37:16
names
37:17
in
37:17
the
37:17
offensive
37:17
rank
37:18
offensive
37:18
line
37:19
annals
37:20
of
37:20
the
37:21
National
37:21
Football
37:22
League.
37:22
And
37:23
I
37:23
had
37:23
a
37:23
fortunate
37:24
time
37:24
to
37:25
spend
37:25
with
37:25
those
37:25
two
37:26
guys,
37:26
and
37:26
they
37:26
were
37:26
very
37:26
helpful.
37:27
Well,
37:27
you
37:28
learned
37:28
from
37:28
some
37:28
of
37:28
the
37:28
best,
37:29
Mike,
37:29
that's
37:29
for
37:29
sure.
37:30
Now,
37:30
you
37:30
were
37:31
an
37:31
offensive
37:31
coordinator,
37:33
offensive
37:33
line
37:34
coach,
37:34
also
37:35
a
37:35
head
37:35
coach.
37:36
Now,
37:37
is
37:37
offensive
37:38
coordinator
37:39
any
37:39
more
37:40
difficult
37:40
than
37:40
a
37:41
head
37:41
coach?
37:42
More
37:42
stressful?
37:43
What
37:44
do
37:44
you
37:44
think?
37:45
Well,
37:46
when
37:46
you're
37:46
the
37:46
head
37:46
coach,
37:47
what
37:47
you
37:47
say
37:47
is
37:49
what
37:49
goes
37:50
on
37:50
in
37:50
the
37:50
building,
37:50
what
37:51
goes
37:51
on
37:51
in
37:51
the
37:51
room.
37:52
When
37:53
you're
37:53
an
37:53
offensive
37:53
coordinator,
37:54
you're
37:54
dealing
37:55
with
37:56
offensive
37:56
players
37:57
that
37:58
some
37:58
of
37:58
who
37:59
don't
37:59
like
37:59
the
38:00
way
38:00
you're
38:00
doing
38:00
things.
38:01
And
38:01
when
38:01
you're
38:01
the
38:01
offensive
38:02
coordinator,
38:02
there's
38:03
always
38:03
one
38:03
guy
38:03
above
38:04
you
38:04
that
38:04
they
38:04
could
38:04
go
38:04
to
38:05
if
38:05
they
38:05
don't
38:05
like
38:05
putting
38:05
you
38:06
doing,
38:06
and
38:06
that's
38:06
the
38:06
head
38:07
coach.
38:07
So
38:07
I
38:08
didn't
38:08
really.
38:08
I
38:08
didn't
38:09
really
38:09
enjoy
38:09
being
38:09
an
38:10
offensive
38:10
coordinator
38:11
with
38:11
the
38:11
Bears.
38:12
I
38:12
did
38:13
enjoy
38:13
being
38:13
a
38:13
head
38:14
coach
38:14
for
38:14
four
38:14
years
38:14
with
38:15
the
38:15
Vikings,
38:15
and
38:15
I
38:15
certainly
38:16
enjoyed
38:17
being
38:17
an
38:18
offensive
38:18
line
38:18
coach
38:19
most
38:19
of
38:19
my
38:19
career
38:20
and
38:20
working
38:20
with
38:20
the
38:20
guys
38:21
that,
38:21
you
38:21
know,
38:22
are
38:22
the
38:22
heart
38:23
and
38:23
soul
38:23
of
38:23
the
38:23
offense.
38:24
Yeah,
38:25
I
38:25
can
38:25
see
38:25
how
38:25
it'd
38:26
be
38:26
more
38:26
stressful.
38:27
Mike.
38:27
Mike
38:27
Tice
38:28
with
38:28
us
38:28
tonight
38:29
on
38:29
Sports
38:29
Talk
38:29
New
38:30
York.
38:30
Now,
38:31
among
38:31
other
38:31
guys,
38:32
you've
38:32
Coached
38:33
two
38:33
great
38:34
wide
38:34
receivers.
38:34
Brandon
38:35
Marshall,
38:35
Randy
38:36
Moss,
38:36
to
38:37
name
38:37
two.
38:38
What
38:38
were
38:38
the
38:39
differences
38:39
and
38:40
maybe
38:40
similarities
38:41
in
38:42
the
38:42
styles
38:43
of
38:43
those
38:43
two
38:43
guys?
38:45
Well,
38:46
Randy
38:46
Moss,
38:47
of
38:47
course,
38:47
was
38:47
one
38:47
of
38:47
the
38:47
most
38:48
explosive
38:48
players
38:49
to
38:49
ever
38:49
play
38:49
in
38:49
the
38:50
National
38:50
Football
38:50
League.
38:51
Brandon
38:51
Marshall,
38:52
very
38:52
intelligent,
38:53
great
38:54
size,
38:54
great
38:55
hands,
38:55
knew
38:55
how
38:56
to
38:56
get
38:56
open.
38:57
Both
38:58
players,
38:58
you
38:59
know,
38:59
made
38:59
a
38:59
lot
38:59
of
39:00
plays
39:00
for
39:00
us.
39:01
Randy
39:01
scored
39:01
a
39:01
lot
39:02
of
39:02
touchdowns.
39:02
Yeah,
39:03
and
39:03
that's.
39:04
That's
39:04
really
39:04
big.
39:05
And
39:05
I
39:06
really
39:06
enjoyed
39:06
being
39:06
around
39:07
them.
39:07
I
39:07
was
39:07
around
39:08
a
39:08
lot
39:08
of
39:08
great
39:08
receivers
39:08
in
39:09
my
39:09
career,
39:09
not
39:09
only
39:10
as
39:10
a
39:10
player,
39:10
as
39:11
a
39:11
coach.
39:11
I
39:11
was
39:12
fortunate
39:12
to
39:12
be
39:12
teammates
39:13
with
39:13
hall
39:13
of
39:13
Famer
39:14
Steve
39:14
Large,
39:14
and
39:15
I
39:15
was
39:15
fortunate
39:15
to
39:15
be
39:16
teammates
39:16
with
39:17
Chris
39:17
Carter.
39:18
I
39:18
was
39:18
also
39:18
fortunate
39:19
to
39:19
be
39:19
teammates
39:20
with
39:20
Art
39:20
Monk,
39:21
Washington
39:21
Redskins,
39:22
another
39:22
great
39:22
man.
39:23
And
39:24
so,
39:24
you
39:24
know,
39:25
those
39:25
guys
39:25
are
39:25
the
39:26
cream
39:26
of
39:26
the
39:26
crop,
39:27
and
39:27
those,
39:28
those
39:28
guys
39:28
do
39:29
the
39:29
things
39:29
the
39:29
right
39:29
way.
39:30
Yeah,
39:30
what
39:30
an
39:31
honor
39:31
to
39:31
be
39:31
associated
39:32
with
39:32
those
39:32
guys.
39:33
Mike,
39:33
that.
39:33
That's
39:33
a
39:34
definite.
39:34
Now,
39:35
if
39:35
you
39:35
were
39:36
to
39:36
return
39:36
to
39:37
head
39:37
coaching
39:37
now,
39:38
which
39:38
I
39:38
don't
39:38
think
39:39
you
39:39
do,
39:40
what
39:41
would
39:41
you
39:41
do
39:41
differently
39:42
if
39:42
you
39:42
went
39:42
about
39:43
it
39:43
this
39:43
time?
39:46
Well,
39:47
you
39:47
know,
39:47
we
39:47
had
39:47
a
39:47
good
39:48
run
39:48
there
39:48
in
39:48
Seattle.
39:49
I
39:49
mean,
39:49
Seattle,
39:50
we
39:50
had
39:50
a
39:50
good
39:50
run
39:51
there
39:51
in
39:51
Minnesota.
39:52
We
39:52
just.
39:53
We
39:53
didn't
39:53
have
39:53
the
39:54
ownership
39:54
that
39:54
they
39:54
have
39:55
there
39:55
now
39:55
with
39:55
the
39:56
Wilfs,
39:56
where
39:56
they're
39:56
behind
39:57
the
39:57
coaches
39:58
in
39:58
the
39:58
organization
39:59
monetarily
40:01
in
40:01
a
40:01
big
40:01
way.
40:02
You
40:02
know,
40:02
we
40:02
didn't
40:03
have
40:03
that.
40:03
And
40:03
we
40:03
won.
40:04
You
40:04
know,
40:04
we
40:04
went
40:04
500.
40:05
We
40:05
won
40:05
a
40:05
playoff
40:06
game
40:06
in,
40:07
in
40:07
Green
40:08
Bay.
40:08
And
40:08
I
40:08
was
40:09
proud
40:09
of
40:09
the
40:09
way
40:09
we
40:10
did
40:10
things.
40:10
And
40:10
so
40:11
there's
40:12
probably
40:12
some
40:12
things
40:12
I
40:13
would
40:13
do
40:13
differently.
40:13
But
40:14
right
40:14
now,
40:14
off
40:14
the
40:14
cuff,
40:15
I
40:15
couldn't
40:16
spell
40:16
them
40:16
out
40:16
to
40:16
you.
40:17
Okay,
40:17
now,
40:18
you
40:18
have
40:19
said,
40:19
I
40:19
believe
40:20
you
40:20
said,
40:20
that
40:21
today's
40:21
player
40:22
doesn't
40:22
want
40:22
to
40:23
be
40:23
coached.
40:24
Can
40:24
you
40:24
tell
40:24
us
40:24
about
40:25
that?
40:27
Well,
40:28
it
40:28
is
40:28
what
40:28
it
40:28
is.
40:29
I
40:29
mean,
40:29
young
40:30
kids
40:30
and
40:30
young
40:31
men
40:31
are
40:31
different
40:31
than
40:32
they
40:32
were
40:32
when
40:32
I
40:32
was
40:33
playing.
40:33
When
40:34
coaches
40:34
were
40:35
screaming
40:35
at
40:35
you
40:36
and
40:36
coaches
40:36
were
40:36
yelling
40:37
at
40:37
you,
40:38
you
40:38
know,
40:39
repeating
40:40
in
40:40
pads,
40:41
banging
40:42
on
40:42
Fridays
40:43
in
40:43
pads,
40:44
in
40:44
full
40:44
pads,
40:45
goal
40:45
line.
40:46
It's
40:46
a
40:46
different
40:47
game
40:47
nowadays.
40:48
And
40:48
so
40:49
players
40:49
are
40:50
a
40:50
little
40:50
bit
40:50
more
40:50
temperamental
40:51
when
40:51
you
40:51
try
40:52
to
40:52
correct
40:52
them.
40:52
And
40:53
again,
40:53
I
40:53
haven't
40:54
coached
40:54
in,
40:55
what,
40:55
seven
40:55
years,
40:56
six
40:56
years.
40:56
So
40:57
it's
40:57
hard
40:57
for
40:58
me
40:58
to
40:58
say
40:58
what
40:58
kind
40:58
of
40:59
players
40:59
are
40:59
in
40:59
the
40:59
locker
41:00
room
41:00
right
41:00
now.
41:00
But
41:00
all
41:01
you
41:01
have
41:01
to
41:01
do
41:01
is
41:01
look
41:01
at
41:02
society
41:02
and
41:02
see
41:03
what's
41:03
out
41:03
there.
41:04
It's
41:04
a
41:04
lot
41:04
different.
41:04
You're
41:05
right,
41:05
Mike.
41:06
Now,
41:07
was
41:07
it
41:07
rough
41:08
going
41:08
to
41:08
Chicago
41:09
after
41:09
you
41:10
were
41:10
with
41:10
the
41:11
rival
41:12
Vikings
41:12
for
41:12
so
41:13
long.
41:14
Yeah,
41:15
it
41:15
was
41:15
tough.
41:15
And
41:16
I'm
41:16
still
41:16
a
41:16
big,
41:16
huge
41:17
Viking
41:17
fan.
41:17
That's
41:18
the
41:18
team.
41:18
I
41:18
still
41:18
root
41:19
for
41:19
the
41:19
Giants,
41:19
of
41:20
course.
41:20
I
41:20
root
41:21
for
41:21
the
41:21
Jets.
41:21
My.
41:22
You
41:22
know,
41:22
I'm
41:22
from
41:22
New
41:22
York,
41:23
got
41:23
to
41:23
root
41:24
for
41:24
my
41:24
home
41:24
teams.
41:24
I
41:25
root
41:25
for
41:25
the
41:25
Knicks.
41:25
I
41:25
don't
41:26
wear
41:26
my
41:26
Knicks
41:26
hat
41:27
because
41:27
they
41:27
haven't
41:27
been
41:27
very
41:28
good
41:28
in
41:28
a
41:28
while.
41:29
And.
41:29
But.
41:30
But
41:30
I.
41:30
But
41:31
I.
41:31
I
41:32
do
41:32
root
41:32
for
41:32
the
41:32
Vikings,
41:33
and
41:33
it
41:33
was
41:33
tough,
41:34
but,
41:34
you
41:34
know,
41:34
I
41:35
have
41:35
two
41:35
kids,
41:35
I
41:36
have
41:36
a
41:36
wife,
41:36
I
41:37
have
41:37
homes,
41:37
I
41:38
got
41:38
bills
41:38
to
41:38
pay.
41:38
I
41:39
have
41:39
to
41:39
work.
41:39
And
41:39
so
41:40
at
41:40
that
41:40
point
41:41
in
41:41
my
41:41
career,
41:41
that
41:41
was
41:42
the
41:42
best
41:42
opportunity.
41:43
Right.
41:43
And
41:44
you
41:44
took
41:44
it,
41:44
and
41:44
you
41:45
did.
41:45
Well,
41:45
as
41:45
you
41:45
said,
41:46
good
41:46
memories
41:47
in
41:47
Minnesota
41:48
for
41:48
you
41:48
guys.
41:49
We're
41:49
speaking
41:50
with
41:50
Mike
41:50
Tice
41:51
tonight
41:51
on
41:51
Sports
41:51
Talk
41:52
New
41:52
York.
41:52
Great
41:53
to
41:53
have
41:53
him
41:53
with
41:53
us.
41:54
Anything,
41:56
as
41:56
I
41:56
said
41:57
along
41:57
the
41:57
way,
41:59
who
42:00
really
42:00
had
42:01
a
42:01
deep
42:01
impact
42:02
on
42:02
your
42:02
career,
42:03
it
42:03
would
42:03
be
42:03
those
42:04
guys
42:04
from
42:04
CI,
42:05
right?
42:06
Oh,
42:07
yeah,
42:07
absolutely.
42:07
You
42:08
kidding
42:08
me?
42:08
You
42:09
know,
42:09
I
42:09
was
42:09
born
42:09
and
42:09
raised
42:10
there.
42:10
My
42:10
dad
42:10
was
42:10
born
42:11
and
42:11
raised
42:11
there.
42:11
My
42:12
dad
42:12
graduated
42:13
from
42:13
Central
42:14
Isop
42:14
High
42:14
School.
42:15
I
42:15
did.
42:15
My
42:16
wife
42:16
did.
42:17
My
42:17
brother,
42:17
my
42:18
sister,
42:18
two
42:18
of
42:18
my
42:19
sisters.
42:20
Two
42:20
of
42:20
my
42:20
sisters
42:21
actually
42:21
graduated.
42:22
My
42:22
other,
42:23
my
42:23
youngest,
42:23
two
42:23
sisters
42:24
from
42:24
East
42:24
Eisen
42:24
High
42:25
School.
42:25
Okay.
42:26
Where
42:26
Boom
42:26
was
42:26
from.
42:27
Yeah.
42:27
So,
42:28
yeah,
42:28
those
42:29
guys
42:29
had
42:29
great
42:29
influence
42:30
because
42:30
you're
42:30
younger,
42:31
you're
42:32
more
42:32
impressionable,
42:33
and
42:35
you
42:35
tend
42:35
to
42:36
take
42:36
what
42:37
your
42:37
coaches
42:38
are
42:38
saying
42:38
for
42:38
word.
42:39
And
42:39
fortunately,
42:40
those
42:40
guys
42:40
were
42:41
good
42:41
and
42:41
they
42:41
were
42:41
right.
42:42
And
42:42
it's
42:43
probably
42:43
as
42:43
you
42:44
say
42:44
with
42:45
today's
42:45
NFL
42:46
players,
42:47
the
42:47
halls
42:47
of
42:48
CI
42:48
High
42:48
School
42:49
are
42:49
probably
42:49
much
42:49
different
42:50
than
42:50
they
42:50
were
42:50
when
42:50
we
42:51
roamed
42:51
our
42:51
respective
42:52
schools.
42:53
You
42:54
got
42:54
that
42:54
right.
42:54
I've
42:54
been
42:55
up
42:55
there
42:55
a
42:55
few
42:55
times
42:55
over
42:56
the
42:56
last
42:56
number
42:57
of
42:57
years,
42:57
and
42:57
it's
42:57
definitely
42:58
different.
42:58
Yeah,
42:59
but
43:00
that's.
43:01
That's
43:01
just.
43:01
Like
43:01
I
43:01
said,
43:02
that's
43:02
society
43:03
things,
43:03
man.
43:04
I
43:04
just
43:04
turned
43:05
66
43:05
years
43:06
old.
43:06
Things
43:06
have
43:06
changed.
43:07
Oh,
43:08
you're
43:08
telling
43:08
me.
43:08
Yeah,
43:09
I
43:09
know
43:10
you're
43:10
still
43:11
15,
43:11
20
43:12
years
43:12
old
43:13
upstairs,
43:13
but
43:13
the
43:14
rest
43:14
of
43:14
it
43:14
ain't
43:14
doing
43:15
the
43:15
same
43:15
thing,
43:15
Mike,
43:16
is
43:16
it?
43:17
No,
43:17
you
43:18
got
43:18
that
43:18
right.
43:18
Yeah,
43:19
you
43:20
got
43:20
that
43:20
right,
43:20
Bill.
43:21
Oh,
43:21
no,
43:22
the
43:22
rest
43:22
of
43:22
it
43:22
doesn't
43:23
follow
43:23
suit,
43:23
that's
43:24
for
43:24
sure.
43:25
Now,
43:26
a
43:26
player
43:27
who's
43:27
under
43:27
your
43:28
tutelage,
43:28
Mike,
43:28
all
43:29
the
43:29
guys
43:29
you
43:29
coached,
43:30
what
43:30
would
43:31
you
43:31
expect
43:31
them
43:31
to
43:32
say
43:32
about
43:32
you?
43:34
That
43:34
I
43:35
was
43:35
a
43:35
pain
43:35
in
43:35
the
43:35
ass.
43:37
Okay.
43:38
Yeah,
43:39
but
43:39
that's
43:39
good.
43:40
That's
43:40
good.
43:40
Like
43:40
you
43:41
said.
43:41
No,
43:41
that's
43:41
good.
43:42
And
43:42
guys
43:42
don't
43:43
want
43:43
it.
43:43
Don't
43:43
Want
43:43
to
43:43
have
43:43
a
43:44
pain
43:44
in
43:44
the
43:44
ass
43:44
today?
43:45
Well,
43:46
you
43:46
know,
43:46
the
43:47
one
43:47
thing
43:47
they'll
43:47
say
43:47
is,
43:48
I
43:48
was
43:48
honest.
43:49
Whether
43:49
they
43:49
liked
43:49
it
43:49
or
43:50
not,
43:50
I
43:50
told
43:50
them
43:51
the
43:51
truth.
43:51
I
43:51
told
43:51
them
43:51
the
43:52
way
43:52
it
43:52
was.
43:52
And,
43:53
you
43:53
know,
43:54
I
43:55
guess
43:55
that's
43:55
the
43:55
New
43:55
Yorker
43:56
in
43:56
me.
43:56
But
43:56
if
43:57
they
43:57
didn't
43:57
like
43:57
it,
43:57
it
43:58
was,
43:58
you
43:58
know,
43:58
it's
43:59
tough,
43:59
it's
43:59
too
44:00
bad,
44:00
but
44:00
I
44:00
gotta
44:00
tell
44:00
you
44:01
how
44:01
I
44:01
feel.
44:01
I'm
44:01
trying
44:02
to
44:02
make
44:02
you
44:02
better.
44:02
I'm
44:02
your
44:03
teacher.
44:03
I'm
44:03
your
44:03
mentor.
44:04
If
44:04
you
44:05
play
44:05
better,
44:05
I
44:05
look
44:06
better,
44:06
so
44:06
you
44:06
got
44:06
to
44:07
play
44:07
better.
44:07
If
44:07
you
44:07
play
44:08
better,
44:08
we
44:08
win.
44:09
So,
44:10
you
44:10
know,
44:11
hopefully
44:11
that's
44:11
what
44:11
they'll
44:12
just.
44:12
They'll
44:12
say,
44:12
and
44:13
they'll
44:13
describe
44:14
me
44:14
as.
44:15
Do
44:15
you
44:15
still
44:16
walk
44:16
around
44:16
with
44:16
a
44:16
pencil
44:17
in
44:17
your
44:17
ear?
44:18
No,
44:18
I
44:19
wear
44:19
glasses
44:19
now,
44:20
so
44:20
I
44:20
can't
44:20
put
44:20
it
44:20
over
44:21
my
44:21
ear.
44:24
Oh,
44:25
man.
44:25
Do
44:26
you
44:26
miss
44:26
anything
44:27
about
44:27
the
44:27
island?
44:29
Oh,
44:29
yeah.
44:29
I
44:29
was
44:30
back
44:30
last
44:30
year
44:30
for.
44:31
We
44:31
had
44:31
like
44:31
a
44:32
five
44:32
year
44:32
reunion
44:33
where
44:33
my
44:33
class
44:33
was
44:34
the
44:34
youngest
44:34
and
44:34
there
44:34
was
44:35
only
44:35
a
44:35
couple
44:35
of
44:35
us
44:36
from
44:36
my
44:36
class.
44:37
But
44:37
we
44:37
went
44:37
back
44:37
and
44:38
saw
44:38
some
44:38
dear
44:38
friends.
44:39
I
44:39
have
44:39
two
44:39
aunts
44:39
that
44:40
live
44:40
there.
44:40
My
44:40
mother's
44:41
two
44:41
sisters
44:41
still
44:42
live
44:42
in
44:42
East
44:42
Islip.
44:43
And,
44:45
you
44:45
know,
44:45
it
44:45
was
44:45
just
44:45
great
44:46
to
44:46
see
44:46
so
44:47
many
44:47
great
44:47
friends
44:48
and
44:48
eat
44:48
the
44:48
great
44:48
food
44:50
that
44:50
I
44:50
grew
44:50
up
44:51
eating.
44:51
And
44:52
I
44:53
do
44:53
miss
44:53
it.
44:53
And
44:54
we
44:54
had
44:54
a
44:54
great
44:54
time.
44:54
We
44:55
stayed
44:55
over
44:55
in
44:55
Bayshore.
44:56
We
44:56
rented
44:56
a
44:56
house.
44:57
It
44:57
was
44:58
really
44:58
nice.
44:58
Yeah,
44:59
the
44:59
pizza
45:00
is
45:00
something
45:01
you
45:01
would
45:01
miss.
45:02
A
45:02
bagel,
45:04
a
45:04
bacon,
45:04
egg,
45:04
and
45:05
cheese
45:05
on
45:05
a
45:05
roll.
45:06
Something
45:06
like
45:06
that,
45:06
right?
45:07
On
45:07
a
45:07
hard
45:07
roll.
45:08
Nobody
45:08
knows.
45:08
When
45:08
we
45:08
say,
45:10
you
45:10
got
45:11
bacon,
45:11
egg
45:11
and
45:11
cheese
45:11
on
45:12
a
45:12
hard
45:12
roll,
45:12
people
45:12
are
45:13
like,
45:13
what?
45:13
Yeah,
45:13
no
45:14
idea.
45:14
What
45:14
do
45:14
you
45:14
mean,
45:14
a
45:14
stale
45:15
roll?
45:15
No,
45:15
not
45:15
a
45:16
stale
45:16
roll.
45:16
A
45:16
hard
45:16
roll.
45:17
I
45:17
even
45:17
was
45:17
down
45:18
in
45:18
Gettysburg
45:18
in
45:19
Pennsylvania,
45:19
and
45:20
I
45:20
ordered
45:20
a
45:20
bacon,
45:21
egg
45:21
and
45:21
cheese
45:21
on
45:21
a
45:21
roll.
45:22
They
45:22
gave
45:22
it
45:22
to.
45:24
No,
45:24
I'm
45:25
kidding,
45:25
right?
45:26
I
45:26
said,
45:26
no,
45:26
no,
45:27
no.
45:27
That's
45:27
the
45:27
way
45:27
it
45:27
is.
45:28
That's
45:28
not
45:28
what
45:28
I'm
45:28
talking
45:29
about.
45:31
And
45:32
then
45:32
the
45:32
pizza.
45:32
Just
45:33
give
45:33
me
45:33
a
45:33
good
45:33
slice
45:33
of
45:34
cheese
45:34
pie,
45:34
would
45:34
you,
45:35
please?
45:35
That's
45:35
all.
45:36
Don't
45:36
put
45:36
all
45:37
this
45:37
stuff.
45:37
Don't
45:37
put
45:37
all
45:38
this
45:38
stuff
45:38
on
45:38
top
45:39
of
45:39
it.
45:39
No
45:40
pineapple,
45:40
right?
45:41
No,
45:41
that's.
45:42
Oh,
45:42
my
45:42
God.
45:42
No
45:43
pineapple.
45:43
No
45:43
jalapenos.
45:44
No
45:44
jalapenos.
45:46
No
45:47
barbecued
45:47
chicken.
45:49
It's
45:49
even
45:49
changed
45:50
around
45:50
here.
45:51
You
45:51
saw
45:51
it,
45:51
Mike,
45:52
when
45:52
you
45:52
were
45:52
here.
45:52
It's
45:52
not
45:53
the
45:53
same
45:53
place
45:53
it
45:54
was
45:54
when
45:54
we
45:54
were
45:54
in
45:55
high
45:55
school.
45:58
The
45:58
people
45:58
are
45:58
changing.
45:59
Society
46:00
has
46:00
changed.
46:00
People
46:01
have
46:01
changed.
46:02
Yeah,
46:02
I
46:03
Mean
46:04
Fire
46:04
Island.
46:05
The
46:05
whole
46:05
place
46:06
is
46:06
different
46:06
now.
46:06
There's
46:07
a
46:07
different
46:07
head
46:09
ruling
46:09
these
46:09
days.
46:10
And
46:10
like
46:11
you
46:11
say,
46:11
you
46:11
gotta
46:12
adjust
46:12
with
46:12
it.
46:13
And
46:13
that's
46:14
just
46:14
the
46:14
way
46:14
it
46:14
is
46:15
now.
46:16
How
46:16
about
46:16
this,
46:16
Mike?
46:17
Get
46:17
ready
46:17
for
46:17
this
46:17
one.
46:18
If
46:18
they
46:19
offered
46:19
you
46:19
the
46:19
jets
46:20
job,
46:20
would
46:20
you
46:20
take
46:21
it?
46:22
In
46:22
a
46:22
minute.
46:23
Yeah.
46:24
Yeah.
46:25
But
46:25
I'm
46:25
not
46:25
qualified.
46:27
I've
46:27
been
46:27
out
46:27
of
46:28
the
46:28
game
46:28
too
46:28
long.
46:28
I'm
46:28
not
46:29
qualified.
46:29
But
46:30
that
46:30
would
46:30
be
46:31
quite
46:31
the.
46:32
I
46:32
interviewed
46:32
for
46:32
the
46:32
jets
46:33
job
46:33
one
46:33
time
46:33
and
46:33
I
46:34
didn't
46:34
get
46:34
it,
46:34
but
46:35
it
46:35
would
46:36
have
46:36
been
46:36
great.
46:37
Who
46:37
did
46:37
they
46:37
give
46:37
it
46:37
to
46:38
at
46:38
that
46:38
time?
46:38
Do
46:38
you
46:38
remember
46:40
Mangini?
46:41
Oh,
46:42
okay.
46:42
Yeah.
46:43
Mangenius.
46:44
The
46:44
guy
46:44
they
46:44
thought
46:44
was
46:44
the.
46:45
The
46:46
one
46:46
to
46:46
lead
46:46
them
46:47
into
46:47
the
46:47
promised
46:47
land,
46:48
as
46:48
we
46:49
say.
46:49
I
46:49
never
46:49
met
46:49
him,
46:50
so
46:50
I
46:50
can't
46:50
say
46:50
a
46:50
word
46:51
about
46:51
him.
46:51
I
46:51
don't
46:51
know
46:52
him.
46:52
I
46:52
don't
46:53
know
46:53
him.
46:53
To
46:53
say
46:53
hi.
46:54
Yeah,
46:54
exactly.
46:55
Well,
46:55
Mike
46:56
Tice,
46:56
it's
46:56
been
46:57
a
46:57
pleasure.
46:57
I
46:57
thank
46:58
you
46:58
for
46:58
taking
46:59
the
46:59
time
46:59
out
46:59
of
46:59
your
47:00
Sunday
47:00
night
47:00
to
47:00
spend
47:01
it
47:01
with
47:01
us
47:01
back
47:01
here
47:02
in
47:02
New
47:02
York.
47:03
Wishing
47:03
you
47:03
all
47:04
the
47:04
best,
47:04
you
47:04
and
47:04
the
47:05
family.
47:05
Mike,
47:05
take
47:06
care.
47:06
We
47:07
look
47:07
forward
47:07
to
47:08
the
47:08
next
47:08
time
47:08
we
47:08
speak.
47:09
And
47:09
I
47:09
thank
47:10
you
47:10
once
47:10
again,
47:11
Bill,
47:12
my
47:12
pleasure.
47:13
Hey,
47:13
Bill,
47:13
let
47:14
me
47:14
plug
47:14
my
47:14
foundation
47:15
real
47:15
quick.
47:16
I
47:17
forgot
47:17
to
47:17
mention.
47:17
Yeah,
47:18
let's
47:18
talk
47:18
about
47:18
the
47:19
foundation.
47:19
Mike.
47:20
Go
47:20
ahead.
47:20
That's
47:20
all
47:20
right.
47:21
We
47:21
only
47:21
have
47:22
one
47:22
event.
47:22
We
47:22
have
47:22
a
47:22
golf
47:23
tournament
47:23
July
47:24
13th
47:24
and
47:24
14th
47:25
in
47:25
Seattle
47:25
near
47:26
Bainbridge
47:26
island,
47:27
which
47:27
is
47:27
a
47:27
beautiful
47:27
location.
47:28
And
47:29
our
47:29
website
47:29
is
47:30
themiketicefoundation.com.
47:32
people
47:32
can
47:32
go
47:32
on
47:32
there
47:33
and
47:33
keep
47:33
up
47:33
with
47:33
what's
47:34
going
47:34
on,
47:34
but
47:35
that's
47:35
about
47:36
it.
47:36
We
47:36
raised
47:36
a
47:36
lot
47:36
of
47:37
money.
47:37
We
47:37
gave
47:37
away
47:38
the
47:38
last
47:38
two
47:38
years
47:38
over
47:39
$160,000
47:40
a
47:40
kids
47:41
charities.
47:41
And
47:41
we'll
47:42
continue
47:42
to
47:42
do
47:42
it.
47:43
And
47:43
we

Two

47:45
New

York
47:46

47:51

47:51
I
47:51
was
47:51
looking
47:52
at
47:52
the
47:52
guys
47:52
that
47:52

47:53
Oh,

yeah,
47:54
we
47:54
get
47:54

47:55

47:55
Yeah,

47:57
We

47:57
a
47:57
heavy
47:57
hit
47:58
of
47:58

our

48:00
F5

48:01
They're

a
48:02
big
48:02
company,
48:03
so
48:03
we're
48:03
excited.
48:05
Good

right
48:18
back
48:19
after
48:19
these
48:19
fine
48:20
words.
48:20
You
48:20

48:21

48:21
Be
48:22

And
48:43
now
48:44
back
48:44
to
48:44
the
48:44

48:51
All
48:51
right,
48:51
folks,
48:52
ladies
48:52
and
48:52
gentlemen,
48:53
boys
48:53
and
48:53
girls,
48:54
children
48:54
of
48:54
all
48:55
ages,
48:56
I
48:56
would
48:56
just
48:57
like
48:57
to,
48:58
in
48:58
a
48:58
few
48:58
minutes
48:59
we
48:59
have
48:59
left,
49:00
we
49:00
spoke
49:00
about
49:01
spring
49:02
training,
49:03
how
49:03
great
49:03
that
49:04
is
49:04
to
49:04
experience
49:05
whether
49:05
you
49:05
go
49:05
to
49:06
Florida
49:06
or
49:07
whether
49:07
you
49:07
visit
49:07
the
49:07
teams
49:08
out
49:08
in
49:08
Arizona.
49:10
Another
49:11
place
49:11
dear
49:12
to
49:12
me,
49:12
as
49:12
you
49:12
know,
49:12
is
49:13
Cooperstown,
49:14
the
49:14
home
49:14
of
49:14
the
49:14
Baseball
49:15
hall
49:15
of
49:15
Fame.
49:16
And
49:16
as
49:17
I
49:17
spoke
49:17
to
49:17
Tony
49:18
and
49:18
Rick
49:18
Oliva
49:19
about,
49:20
the
49:20
Odessaga
49:21
Hotel
49:22
is
49:23
off
49:23
limits
49:24
to
49:25
everyone
49:25
during
49:26
hall
49:26
of
49:26
Fame
49:26
weekend
49:27
because
49:27
that's
49:27
where
49:28
all
49:28
the
49:28
hall
49:28
of
49:28
Famers
49:29
and
49:29
their
49:29
families
49:30
stay.
49:31
It's
49:31
this
49:32
amazing
49:33
vintage
49:34
hotel,
49:36
something
49:36
out
49:37
of
49:37
the
49:37
turn
49:37
of
49:38
the
49:38
century,
49:38
the
49:38
turn
49:38
of
49:39
the
49:39
last
49:39
century,
49:40
not
49:40
this
49:40
century.
49:43
And
49:43
it's
49:43
just
49:44
got
49:45
personality
49:47
all
49:47
over
49:47
it.
49:48
The
49:48
hall
49:48
of
49:48
Famers
49:49
stay
49:49
there.
49:49
They
49:50
meet,
49:50
they
49:50
talk,
49:51
they
49:52
eat
49:52
together,
49:53
they
49:53
laugh
49:53
together.
49:54
And
49:54
there's
49:54
a
49:54
back
49:55
porch
49:55
of
49:55
this
49:55
hotel
49:56
made
49:57
out
49:57
of
49:57
wood
49:58
and
49:59
rocking
49:59
chairs
49:59
there.
50:00
And
50:00
you
50:00
can
50:00
just
50:00
sit
50:01
there
50:01
and
50:01
rock
50:02
and
50:02
look
50:02
out
50:02
at
50:03
beautiful
50:03
Odessauga
50:04
Lake
50:04
and
50:05
just
50:05
soak
50:06
in
50:06
the
50:06
ambiance.
50:07
And
50:07
who
50:08
knows,
50:08
maybe
50:10
Paul
50:10
Molitor
50:11
is
50:11
sitting
50:11
next
50:11
to
50:12
you
50:12
or
50:12
Ferguson
50:13
Jenkins
50:13
or
50:14
some
50:14
other
50:14
storied
50:15
hall
50:15
of
50:15
Famer.
50:17
As
50:17
we
50:18
know
50:18
through
50:18
the
50:18
elections,
50:19
the
50:20
hall
50:20
of
50:20
Famers
50:21
going
50:21
into
50:21
the
50:21
class
50:22
of
50:22
2025
50:24
originally
50:26
elected.
50:29
Mike
50:29
Tice
50:30
is
50:30
texting
50:30
me.
50:30
I'll
50:31
get
50:31
back
50:31
to
50:31
him.
50:33
Ritchie
50:34
Allen,
50:34
Dave
50:34
Parker
50:35
going
50:35
in,
50:36
elected
50:37
by
50:37
the
50:37
Veterans
50:37
Committee,
50:38
both
50:39
worthwhile
50:40
guys.
50:41
And
50:42
of
50:42
course,
50:43
elected
50:43
by
50:43
the
50:44
Baseball
50:44
Writers
50:45
association
50:45
of
50:46
America.
50:47
Ichiro
50:48
Suzuki,
50:48
Cece
50:49
Sabathia
50:50
and
50:50
Billy
50:51
Wagner
50:51
voted
50:52
into
50:53
The
50:53
Class
50:53
of
50:54
25
50:54
Baseball
50:55
hall
50:55
of
50:55
Fame.
50:56
I
50:57
should
50:57
mention
50:57
also
50:57
that
50:58
the
50:58
Odessauga
50:59
Hotel,
50:59
the
50:59
reason
50:59
they
51:00
can
51:00
clear
51:01
the
51:02
unwashed
51:02
masses
51:03
like
51:03
you
51:03
and
51:03
I
51:04
out
51:04
of
51:04
there
51:04
is
51:04
because
51:04
it's
51:05
owned
51:05
by
51:06
Jane
51:07
Forbes
51:07
Clark,
51:08
who
51:09
is
51:09
the
51:10
chairman
51:10
of
51:11
the
51:11
Baseball
51:11
hall
51:12
of
51:12
Fame
51:12
in
51:12
Cooperstown.
51:13
The
51:14
hall
51:14
of
51:14
Fame
51:14
was
51:14
started
51:15
by
51:15
her
51:15
grandfather,
51:17
I
51:17
believe.
51:17
It
51:18
was
51:18
not
51:18
her
51:18
father.
51:19
Her
51:19
grandfather
51:20
started
51:20
the
51:20
Baseball
51:21
hall
51:21
of
51:21
fame
51:21
in
51:22
1939.
51:23
She
51:24
More
51:24
or
51:24
less
51:24
owns
51:25
Cooperstown,
51:26
and
51:26
she
51:26
owns
51:27
that
51:27
hotel.
51:28
And
51:28
she
51:28
could
51:28
give
51:29
you
51:29
and
51:29
I
51:29
the
51:29
boot
51:30
so
51:30
they
51:31
can
51:31
bring
51:31
in
51:31
people
51:32
like
51:32
Ferguson
51:33
Jenkins
51:33
and
51:33
Paul
51:34
Maldeigner
51:34
and
51:34
Chipper
51:35
Jones
51:36
and
51:36
Dave
51:37
Winfield
51:39
for
51:39
that
51:39
weekend.
51:40
So
51:40
it
51:41
turns
51:41
into
51:41
a
51:41
magical
51:42
place
51:43
that,
51:43
as
51:44
we
51:44
said,
51:44
you
51:44
and
51:45
I
51:45
are
51:45
not
51:45
allowed
51:46
into
51:46
the
51:46
inner
51:47
sanctum.
51:47
But
51:47
if
51:47
you
51:48
ever
51:48
are,
51:49
it's
51:49
an
51:49
amazing
51:50
treat,
51:51
and
51:51
we
51:51
look
51:52
forward
51:52
to
51:52
seeing
51:52
Antonio
51:53
Oliva
51:53
there
51:54
this
51:54
year.
51:56
Great
51:56
man.
51:58
Great
51:58
interview.
51:59
It
51:59
was
51:59
with
52:00
he
52:01
and
52:01
his
52:01
son
52:01
Rick
52:02
about
52:02
the
52:02
book.
52:03
No,
52:03
I
52:03
problema
52:04
which
52:05
means
52:05
no
52:06
problem
52:06
with
52:07
Tony
52:07
Oliva,
52:08
who
52:08
faced
52:09
so
52:09
much
52:09
adversity
52:10
in
52:10
his
52:11
youth
52:11
and
52:12
in
52:12
his
52:12
early
52:13
career
52:13
in
52:14
the
52:14
minor
52:14
leagues,
52:15
staying
52:16
at
52:16
all
52:17
black
52:17
hotels,
52:18
walking
52:18
five
52:18
miles
52:19
to
52:19
the
52:19
ballpark
52:20
on
52:21
250
52:21
a
52:21
day.
52:22
Like
52:22
his
52:22
son
52:23
Rick
52:23
said
52:23
he
52:23
could
52:24
take
52:24
a
52:24
cab
52:24
to
52:24
the
52:24
ballpark,
52:25
but
52:25
then
52:25
he'd
52:26
have
52:26
no
52:26
money
52:26
to
52:26
eat.
52:27
So
52:28
it's
52:28
an
52:28
easy
52:29
choice
52:29
there
52:30
to
52:30
see
52:31
that
52:32
he
52:32
walked
52:32
the
52:32
five
52:33
miles
52:33
back
52:33
and
52:34
forth
52:34
to
52:34
and
52:35
from
52:35
the
52:35
ballpark.
52:36
The
52:37
great
52:37
Tony
52:37
Oliva,
52:38
and
52:38
he's
52:39
in
52:39
Red's
52:39
camp
52:40
and
52:40
spring
52:40
training
52:40
himself
52:41
this
52:41
week.
52:43
The
52:43
Twins
52:44
train
52:44
in
52:45
Fort
52:45
Myers
52:46
on
52:47
the
52:47
west
52:47
coast
52:47
of
52:48
Florida.
52:49
I
52:49
believe
52:50
they
52:50
share
52:50
that
52:50
town
52:51
with
52:51
the
52:51
Boston
52:51
Red
52:52
Sox.
52:53
And
52:54
Tony
52:54
is
52:54
down
52:54
there
52:54
with
52:55
Rod
52:55
Carew
52:55
and
52:56
many
52:56
other
52:56
Twins
52:56
alumni
52:58
at
52:59
spring
52:59
training
53:00
giving
53:00
instruction,
53:02
wisdom
53:03
to
53:03
the
53:03
younger
53:03
ball
53:04
players.
53:05
Hopefully
53:05
they're
53:06
able
53:06
to
53:06
drink
53:06
that
53:07
in
53:07
and
53:07
know
53:08
exactly
53:08
who
53:08
they're
53:09
speaking
53:09
with
53:09
when
53:10
they
53:10
talk
53:10
to
53:10
a
53:10
guy
53:11
the
53:11
caliber
53:11
of
53:11
Tony
53:12
Oliva
53:12
and
53:12
Rod
53:13
Carew,
53:14
and
53:15
hopefully
53:16
everybody
53:16
can
53:16
benefit
53:17
from
53:17
it.
53:18
As
53:18
I
53:18
said,
53:19
coming
53:19

53:19
we
53:20

53:20
to
53:20
visit
53:21
Port
53:21
St.
53:21
Lucie
53:22
and
53:23
take
53:24
in
53:25
the
53:25
ambiance
53:26
there
53:26
with
53:26

53:26
New

great
53:33
Mets.
53:34
And
53:34
my
53:34
wife
53:35
has
53:35
messaged
53:36
me
53:36
to
53:36
say
53:36
hello
53:38
to
53:38
Sherry
53:39
in
53:39
Iowa,
53:40
a
53:40
very
53:40
faithful
53:41
listener
53:41
of
53:42
the
53:42
program
53:43
and
53:44
just
53:44
want
53:44
to
53:44
send
53:44
our
53:45
regards
53:45
out
53:45
to
53:45
her.
53:46
She's
53:46
going
53:47
to
53:47
spring
53:47
training
53:48
in
53:48
Arizona.
53:49
She's
53:49
a
53:49
big
53:49
Cubs
53:50
fan
53:50
and
53:51
she'll
53:51
be
53:51
taking
53:52
in
53:52
the
53:53
sites
53:53
out
53:53
in
53:54
Arizona
53:54
where
53:54
the
53:54
teams
53:55
are
53:55
really
53:55
bunched
53:56
all
53:56
together
53:56
and
53:56
you
53:57
could
53:57
see
53:59
anybody
53:59
you
54:00
want
54:00
out
54:00
there
54:01
within
54:02
close
54:02
proximity.
54:03
So
54:03
we
54:04
look
54:04
forward
54:04
to
54:04
hearing
54:05
the
54:06
stories
54:07
from
54:07
her
54:07
on
54:08
spring
54:08
training
54:09
in
54:09
Arizona.
54:10
And
54:11
just
54:11
about
54:12
that'll
54:13
do
54:13
it
54:13
for
54:13
me
54:13
tonight
54:14
on
54:15
Sports
54:15
Talk
54:15
New
54:16
York.
54:16
I
54:16
would
54:16
like
54:17
to
54:17
take
54:17
the
54:17
time
54:17
to
54:18
thank
54:18
my
54:18

54:19
once
54:19
again,

54:24

54:28

Next
54:30

54:30
Sunday,
54:31
March
54:31
2nd.
54:31
I
54:32
believe
54:32
that's
54:32
next
54:32
week,
54:33
isn't
54:33
it,
54:33
Brian?
54:34
Yes.
54:34
So
54:34
we'll
54:34
be
54:34
back
54:35
next
54:35
week
54:36
for
54:36
more
54:36
Sports
54:37
Talk
54:37
New
54:37
York.
54:38
Till
54:38
then,
54:39
be
54:39
safe,
54:39
be
54:40
well.
54:40
Bill
54:41

54:42
wishing
54:42
you
54:42
a
54:42

54:52

54:52
expressed
54:53
in
54:53
the
54:53
previous
54:53
program
54:54
did
54:54
not
54:54
necessarily
54:55
represent
54:55
those
54:56

54:56
