- 0:00Speaker 1: Playball, it's our number to our number two, and how
- 0:07Speaker 1: do you sum up Rob Manford and Major League Baseball's
- 0:11Speaker 1: showcase game at Bristol Motors Speedway did not go that well.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Also over the weekend, you had the conversation between Big
- 0:20Speaker 1: Poppy and Derek Jeter on Fox crying about La de
- 0:24Speaker 1: la Cruz being buried in small market Cincinnati, bum that
- 0:28Speaker 1: he's not playing in a place like New York or
- 0:30Speaker 1: LA What is your position on all this? And Ol
- 0:34Speaker 1: fielder Byron Buxton says he's not planning on leaving after
- 0:39Speaker 1: the Twins just traded away almost half the team in
- 0:42Speaker 1: a epic teardown at the trade deadline. Is he serious?
- 0:49Speaker 1: Tackle that as well? Settle in it's our number two.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Put out the caution flag. Welcome in the beginning of
- 1:02Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in
- 1:06Speaker 1: the air everywhere in coats as we are loafing and
- 1:14Speaker 1: trying not to choke, coast to coast, border to border
- 1:18Speaker 1: and beyond on the mast and roudly powerful microphones of
- 1:24Speaker 1: fsre am monating live from the point that's right, the
- 1:31Speaker 1: sailor's vantage point as we swim around the waters at sea.
- 1:36Speaker 1: There the Fox sports radio studios as approved by mister
- 1:41Speaker 1: nice guy Will and his uncle Josh. That's right. All
- 1:46Speaker 1: of that, all of that as we begin anew this hour,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and it's made possible in part by our friends at
- 1:51Speaker 1: tire Rack. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping
- 1:55Speaker 1: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
- 1:57Speaker 1: they drive. Ship fast and free back by the ree
- 2:00Speaker 1: Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile
- 2:03Speaker 1: tire installation, tirerac dot com, the Way Tire Buying showb
- 2:10Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from what I'm calling
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Bristol Boondoggle, the Bristol Boondoggle, the best laid plans
- 2:18Speaker 1: of mice men and Major League Baseball. Now someone named
- 2:22Speaker 1: Eli White. Eli White apparely that's a player for the
- 2:26Speaker 1: Atlanta baseball team. Eli White hit a three run homer,
- 2:29Speaker 1: also had a solo shot and the Atlanta Broos beata
- 2:33Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds forty two. The game on Sunday, the Rain Delade,
- 2:38Speaker 1: the Rain to Laid Major League Baseball Speedway Classic, played
- 2:42Speaker 1: at the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway, the first ever Major
- 2:46Speaker 1: League Baseball game played in Tennessee. It was supposed to
- 2:49Speaker 1: be played on Saturday. Now they say that ninety one
- 2:54Speaker 1: thousand brave souls were in attendance. They showed up men,
- 2:58Speaker 1: women and children to that game on Sunday. However, that's
- 3:03Speaker 1: not the story, all right, that is not the story here.
- 3:07Speaker 1: If you were watching the mess happen in real time,
- 3:10Speaker 1: you likely know what took place on Saturday. If not,
- 3:15Speaker 1: if you missed it because you were out doing stuff,
- 3:17Speaker 1: maybe you didn't hear what happened. Possibly not. So the
- 3:20Speaker 1: game itself, which was the showcase for Baseball, the vehicle
- 3:25Speaker 1: to showcase the Bristol Motor Speedway. Major League Baseball is crossover,
- 3:29Speaker 1: this confab all that. So the game itself took a
- 3:32Speaker 1: back seat to what happened on Saturday. So if you
- 3:36Speaker 1: were there, I'd love to hear from you to either
- 3:38Speaker 1: validate what I'm hearing or to dismiss what I'm hearing.
- 3:43Speaker 1: So the Major League Baseball Speedway Classic was promoted as
- 3:47Speaker 1: a spectacle. Oh you had to be there, But they
- 3:51Speaker 1: had this massive rain delay that did not subside on Saturday.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It was supposed to be nationally broadcast on Fox, so
- 3:59Speaker 1: the game was it on hold. But that was just
- 4:02Speaker 1: the tip of the spear. You also had a logistical
- 4:04Speaker 1: nightmare for fans in attendance at the game on Saturday.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Now issues with just about everything from a customer relations standpoint.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question is this, how do
- 4:18Speaker 1: you sum up Rob Manford's Major League Baseball showcase in
- 4:25Speaker 1: Tennessee there and the game at Bristol Motors Speedway. So
- 4:29Speaker 1: I've got bonfire, mumbo and Egyptian linens, and we will
- 4:35Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we will go
- 4:38Speaker 1: bugget and mugging and mugging and mugging and mugging. Let's race,
- 4:41Speaker 1: all right. So first of all, be careful what you
- 4:45Speaker 1: ask for, all right, be careful what you ask for.
- 4:48Speaker 1: That's my first life Major League Baseball. As we said,
- 4:51Speaker 1: they wanted a spectacle. They wanted a spectacle, and oh
- 4:56Speaker 1: did they get a spectacle. Man, did they get a spectacle?
- 4:59Speaker 2: Uh?
- 5:00Speaker 1: And just not the kind they had anticipated they were
- 5:02Speaker 1: going to get. They didn't anticipate this. Major League Baseball
- 5:04Speaker 1: was pumping its chest out. They were all hyped up.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Another great moment, storybook moment for Major League Baseball. Bristol
- 5:10Speaker 1: Motor Speedway, first ever Major League Baseball game build as
- 5:15Speaker 1: this grand genre building moment, and it was a novelty event,
- 5:21Speaker 1: but it was something you'd pass on. So I was there,
- 5:24Speaker 1: and for many people it turned into a very soggy,
- 5:28Speaker 1: stomach turning circus, if you will. On Saturday, and if
- 5:32Speaker 1: you squinted hard enough, very briefly, they tried to play
- 5:36Speaker 1: through the monsoon there in Tennessee and the Appalachian downpour.
- 5:40Speaker 1: They tried to play through. It didn't really work, and
- 5:43Speaker 1: the rain pouring down it seemed like there was some
- 5:47Speaker 1: fog out there. And you might have seen baseball briefly
- 5:51Speaker 1: on Saturday, just a little glimpse of baseball, or at
- 5:54Speaker 1: least the ghost of a baseball game before they pulled
- 5:57Speaker 1: the plug and said that's it. And hecty five broadcast
- 6:00Speaker 1: team didn't even know that the game had been called
- 6:03Speaker 1: for the night. They thought they were still waiting around
- 6:06Speaker 1: to play baseball. So that is part of it. But
- 6:09Speaker 1: what the fan got, the fan got the bird is
- 6:13Speaker 1: what the fan got right. What the fan got was
- 6:15Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival. And that
- 6:19Speaker 1: is the point of demarcation, right that music event where
- 6:22Speaker 1: they didn't have any food and people were sweating and
- 6:25Speaker 1: profusely and then the travel accommodations that were promised were not.
- 6:29Speaker 1: There was a disaster, so this was being compared to
- 6:33Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival. From the
- 6:35Speaker 1: standpoint to be fair, I don't think Jah Rule was
- 6:40Speaker 1: involved in this, so he was not there. He didn't
- 6:43Speaker 1: promise anything. So instead of sandwiches with no meat, they
- 6:49Speaker 1: had nachos with no cheese. What do you call nachos
- 6:53Speaker 1: with no cheese? Chips is what you call it. They
- 6:56Speaker 1: had hot dogs without a bun. They didn't have ran
- 7:00Speaker 1: out of buns apparently for the hot dogs. And the rain.
- 7:04Speaker 1: See like the rain part of it that happens, you
- 7:07Speaker 1: can't really say, well, that's Baseball's fault. I as much
- 7:10Speaker 1: as I love to pick and prod and poke major
- 7:13Speaker 1: League Baseball, you can't really say, hey, you know, this
- 7:17Speaker 1: is the issue here the rain, because that you know,
- 7:20Speaker 1: you can't predict one hundred percent it's going to rain
- 7:22Speaker 1: or it's not gonna rain, and all that stuff. Two
- 7:24Speaker 1: hour delay, zero contingency plan on Saturday. That will make
- 7:29Speaker 1: that a strike. It's not an out, it's a strike.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So that strike one, no contingency plan on Saturday. People
- 7:36Speaker 1: waiting around you had empty concessions. These are boots on
- 7:40Speaker 1: the ground reporting empty concessions before first pitch, running out
- 7:45Speaker 1: of food before first pitch, strike two, and the kicker
- 7:50Speaker 1: of kickers. And this is from people who are in attendance.
- 7:53Speaker 1: They said the infrastructure designed to get people into Bristol
- 7:57Speaker 1: Motor Speedway for the baseball game evolved around multiple shuttles
- 8:01Speaker 1: to get in. There was no explanation from anyone wearing
- 8:04Speaker 1: those dopey Major League Baseball polos on how exactly to
- 8:08Speaker 1: do it. So that is strike three, You're out, see
- 8:12Speaker 1: you later, goodbye. Right now. The fans were certainly out
- 8:16Speaker 1: of luck, There's no question about that. They're also out
- 8:19Speaker 1: of food, and many of them, based on the commentary,
- 8:23Speaker 1: very very upset and out of patience with what happened.
- 8:27Speaker 1: So listen, it takes a special kind of hubris from
- 8:33Speaker 1: Rob Manford and all the underlings in the mafioso of
- 8:37Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, the Organized Baseball Committee to cram tens
- 8:42Speaker 1: of thousands of humanity fans into a NASCAR stadium turned
- 8:49Speaker 1: ballpark as Frankenstein set up there for baseball and not consider, hey,
- 8:56Speaker 1: maybe we should go through the logistics on how these
- 8:58Speaker 1: people are going to get in here and get out
- 9:01Speaker 1: of here, or you know what to do if there
- 9:04Speaker 1: is a weather situation, or the bathrooms or the food.
- 9:08Speaker 1: And it looks like either they didn't consider any of
- 9:11Speaker 1: those things or they just didn't care. They just didn't care.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So but hey, they apparently had a lot of beer
- 9:19Speaker 1: and they had peanuts. So that's what they had beer
- 9:22Speaker 1: and peanuts, and that's all you need. And so that
- 9:26Speaker 1: to me is like nineteen eighties style high school football, hospitality, beer,
- 9:32Speaker 1: have beer, nineteen eighties high school football. They had peanuts,
- 9:35Speaker 1: get your peanuts now, but twenty twenty five, so it
- 9:38Speaker 1: doesn't really work. And now the biggest insult though Major
- 9:43Speaker 1: League Baseball, the ham fisted attempt by Major League Baseball
- 9:47Speaker 1: to brand this as a social media spectacle. Now, that
- 9:50Speaker 1: is where this goes next level. That is where this
- 9:53Speaker 1: becomes the fire Festival. Major League Baseball saying, hey, this
- 9:56Speaker 1: is going to be a social media spectacle. So they
- 9:59Speaker 1: handed the fan, they handed the fan the right the cameras.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Everyone's got cameras these days. Forgetting that the phone points
- 10:10Speaker 1: both ways, if you know what I mean, the phone
- 10:12Speaker 1: points both the way. So what Major League Baseball in
- 10:15Speaker 1: the marketing meeting in Manhattan, thought was going to be
- 10:19Speaker 1: in there in their head, this glitzy day of trending topics.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Baseball would dominate the weekend on the Socials, and it
- 10:28Speaker 1: turned out to be a digital bonfire for Major League Baseball,
- 10:33Speaker 1: with photos documenting mile long shuttle lines to get to
- 10:37Speaker 1: the stadium. Fans had the receipts, right, they had the
- 10:41Speaker 1: receipts from the entire event. It was a disaster, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: many people pointing out the way that this sums up
- 10:50Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's operation. People in ankle deep puddles in
- 10:55Speaker 1: the stadium, the nachos without cheese, the hot dogs without buns,
- 11:00Speaker 1: all of that, everything documented for posterity's sake and saved
- 11:04Speaker 1: for time. And so everything's getting frozen in images and
- 11:10Speaker 1: video of the logistical failure, the spectacular debacle of Rob
- 11:16Speaker 1: Manford and Major League Baseball in real time. And this
- 11:19Speaker 1: is not just a one off, mind you, This is
- 11:21Speaker 1: not just one off because the priority is never the fan.
- 11:26Speaker 1: They don't care about the fans. There's seventeen million streaming
- 11:29Speaker 1: services to watch major League Baseball. They're asking you to
- 11:32Speaker 1: pirate major League Baseball because otherwise you gotta pay for
- 11:37Speaker 1: the Hulu game of the week. You gotta get to
- 11:39Speaker 1: the you know, the Peacock game of the week, this game,
- 11:42Speaker 1: that game, all that stuff, and it's not about the
- 11:46Speaker 1: actual fan. You know. It must like a lot of
- 11:50Speaker 1: these places that used to give you something and make
- 11:53Speaker 1: you feel like you were getting a lot more than that.
- 11:54Speaker 1: They've cut back on that. But major League Baseball they
- 11:57Speaker 1: want the headlines. They thought they were gonna get the
- 11:58Speaker 1: hashtags and not have to do the heavy lifting and
- 12:01Speaker 1: all that, and surprise, surprise, surprise, fans there, as we said,
- 12:06Speaker 1: were documenting all of the logistical failures one after another. Right,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and you go back and you talk about Baseball some
- 12:14Speaker 1: of the events they've done. This is the new strategy
- 12:16Speaker 1: to have these one off events. You remember the Field
- 12:18Speaker 1: of Dreams game in Iowa. For a lot of people
- 12:22Speaker 1: was Field of screams. Who attended that game and Baseball
- 12:26Speaker 1: we guarantee they're going to spin this. They said, well,
- 12:28Speaker 1: I was a learning opportunity and acclaim. There was just
- 12:32Speaker 1: overwhelming interest and exceeded expectations until the next Baseball one
- 12:39Speaker 1: off event, which turns out to be Burning Man. The
- 12:42Speaker 1: reenactment of Burning Man with fire included so stag Doum.
- 12:45Speaker 1: But if you were there, I'd love to hear from you.
- 12:48Speaker 1: If you were in attendance. And I'm guessing the amount
- 12:50Speaker 1: of people that were there in ninety one thousand, there's
- 12:52Speaker 1: at least one or two that are listening to me
- 12:55Speaker 1: right now in real time. They can give us some
- 12:57Speaker 1: real time feedback on what your experience was like. Does
- 12:59Speaker 1: it inside with all that took place on the social
- 13:03Speaker 1: media channels and all the reports and the photos and
- 13:05Speaker 1: the video and all that. Now, meanwhile, keeping up with
- 13:08Speaker 1: the Speedway classic theme that we began this hour with
- 13:13Speaker 1: over the weekend, you had a heated conversation in rain
- 13:17Speaker 1: delay filler about Big Poppy and Derek Jeter, the man
- 13:23Speaker 1: that could not attend the Yankee Old Timer game later
- 13:25Speaker 1: this month because his daughter has a birthday party. Anyway,
- 13:28Speaker 1: Big Poppy and El Capatan, Derek Jeter, we're crying on Fox,
- 13:33Speaker 1: crying on Fox about La Dela Cruz being buried in Cincinnati,
- 13:39Speaker 1: Bummed he's not in a big market and essentially claiming
- 13:44Speaker 1: that it's a shame we don't get to see him
- 13:46Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So what is your position? What
- 13:48Speaker 1: is your position on this? So this is with a
- 13:52Speaker 1: capital L, capital L a loser. Take. This is just
- 13:56Speaker 1: a classic example of Major League Baseball not knowing how
- 14:01Speaker 1: to promote the product, is what this one is. And
- 14:05Speaker 1: these old players Big Poppy and Derek Jeter complaining and
- 14:09Speaker 1: all that. They think you've got to be in New York,
- 14:13Speaker 1: LA or Boston to be relevant. Meanwhile, I would argue
- 14:18Speaker 1: it has never been easier in the history of marketing.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It has never been easier to get a guy out
- 14:25Speaker 1: in front of the public and to market them. You've
- 14:28Speaker 1: got all the social media, which again I'm down on.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I think it's the matrix, but you have it as
- 14:32Speaker 1: a tool with TikTok, Instagram, x YouTube. It's not nineteen
- 14:38Speaker 1: eighty nine anymore. And even that, Oh, by the way,
- 14:42Speaker 1: if you want to go down that rabbit hole and
- 14:45Speaker 1: marketing and all this stuff, if you go back to
- 14:48Speaker 1: the nineties in Major League baseball, the biggest start by
- 14:52Speaker 1: far played in a small market, Ken Griffy Jr. In Seattle,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and he was in the air everywhere marketing. Cal Ripkin
- 15:02Speaker 1: in the eighties played in sleepy Baltimore and was a
- 15:05Speaker 1: huge deal. Tony Gwinn Mister Padre was beloved in San Diego.
- 15:10Speaker 1: There was no social media when those guys were playing,
- 15:13Speaker 1: and none of them played in media meccas, and yet
- 15:17Speaker 1: they were able to get hell Cincinnati, and they had
- 15:19Speaker 1: a guy named Barry Larkin who was a very popular
- 15:22Speaker 1: player for the Cincinnati Red small market Cincinnati. The problem
- 15:25Speaker 1: is not Cincinnati, it's major League Baseball being stuck in
- 15:30Speaker 1: the stone age, and Baseball, just in the last couple
- 15:33Speaker 1: of years is realized, well, maybe we should embrace having
- 15:37Speaker 1: our content out there and not send cease and desist
- 15:41Speaker 1: letters to anyone that uses Major League Baseball content. And
- 15:44Speaker 1: so Baseball essentially is blaming the zip code, if you will,
- 15:50Speaker 1: when the reality is they don't know how to sell
- 15:52Speaker 1: the stars of the game. They don't. And La de
- 15:55Speaker 1: la Cruz of the Reds, he is tailor made for
- 16:00Speaker 1: viral highlights. He's a switch hitter, he's got electric speed,
- 16:05Speaker 1: a bazooka for an arm, he's got some swag, he's
- 16:09Speaker 1: got that aura what you're looking for, and he should
- 16:12Speaker 1: be everywhere, should be a household name, but he's stuck
- 16:16Speaker 1: doing the mumbo and the mediocrity mumbo in Cincinnati. That's
- 16:23Speaker 1: where you take a step forward, take a step back,
- 16:25Speaker 1: and shake it all about. That's the Reds. That's the
- 16:28Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds. That's what they do. That's what the Reds do.
- 16:31Speaker 1: So it is inevitable. It is inevitable that he's eventually
- 16:35Speaker 1: going to leave Cincinnati. Why is that not because of
- 16:38Speaker 1: the marketing. It's gonna be because of the the way
- 16:41Speaker 1: the franchises run, the lack of commitment to success by
- 16:44Speaker 1: the ownership. There. You think the Reds are gonna pony
- 16:48Speaker 1: up and put good a good roster together to win.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Then they figured out a way to do it in Milwaukee.
- 16:54Speaker 1: They figured out how to do it in Tampa most
- 16:56Speaker 1: of the time, where they put a competitive team on
- 16:58Speaker 1: the field. But Cincinnati, so yeah, eventually Big Poppy and
- 17:02Speaker 1: Derek Jeeter will get their way and Cruise will end
- 17:04Speaker 1: up in LA or New York or Boston or San
- 17:07Speaker 1: Francisco somewhere like that. And you can blame Major League Baseball.
- 17:11Speaker 1: You blame Rob Man for blame the owners who won't
- 17:15Speaker 1: spend in Cincinnati, and play the blame game all you want.
- 17:19Speaker 1: The league office that still operates offen like it's the
- 17:22Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five season and not the twenty twenty five season.
- 17:26Speaker 1: So it's not a market size issue. I maintain that
- 17:29Speaker 1: it is a marketing issue. And there was a point
- 17:33Speaker 1: when baseball marketed itself as a national pastime. It is
- 17:36Speaker 1: a regional sport, but as a national pastime, they would
- 17:40Speaker 1: have stars everywhere and you'd want to hear about him.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Now you have regional You care about the hometown team
- 17:46Speaker 1: and all that. And here's an example. You have one
- 17:49Speaker 1: of the most electrifying players in baseball and many people
- 17:54Speaker 1: know about them, but they don't know that much about him,
- 17:56Speaker 1: and he's in the league. But that's a failure by
- 17:59Speaker 1: the league, is what that is? All right?
- 18:00Speaker 2: Now?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Final fun to Minnesota we go follow up to the
- 18:05Speaker 1: follow up. Follow up to the follow up the Minnesota
- 18:08Speaker 1: Twins who decided to get out of the Major league
- 18:10Speaker 1: baseball business. They're now a bush league, minor league outfit.
- 18:13Speaker 1: The Minnesota Twins trading away almost fifty percent of the
- 18:16Speaker 1: roster at the trade deadline. So Bryan Byron Buxton, the outfielder,
- 18:21Speaker 1: one of the guys that was not traded away. He
- 18:24Speaker 1: was asked whether or not he is looking to relocate.
- 18:27Speaker 1: He said, quote, he is not planning on leaving. After
- 18:30Speaker 1: the Twins traded almost half the team. Is he serious
- 18:35Speaker 1: Byron Buxton? So Buckston, the way I will answer this question,
- 18:39Speaker 1: Buckston is either in denial or he's lying to himself.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Right that Minnesota clubhouse probably sounds like I would think
- 18:48Speaker 1: an echo chamber here at this point. That wasn't fifty percent,
- 18:51Speaker 1: it was like forty percent of the roster. Gonzo see
- 18:54Speaker 1: you later. That is not a retool. That is a
- 18:58Speaker 1: straight up liquidation sale, is what that is. They wave
- 19:02Speaker 1: the white flag with both ants and said that's it,
- 19:06Speaker 1: We're done. And I don't I don't buy Buxton for
- 19:11Speaker 1: a second. I don't. You don't come out and say
- 19:14Speaker 1: I'm gone, because then everyone is boo you the rest
- 19:17Speaker 1: of the year, all the seven people that show up
- 19:19Speaker 1: the Twins games the rest of the year. And he's
- 19:22Speaker 1: saying like, hey, I'm not leaving and all that stuff,
- 19:25Speaker 1: and yeah, he'll be playing for the rest of this
- 19:27Speaker 1: year and likely for years to come, surrounded by Triple A,
- 19:29Speaker 1: Double A players. But the only reason that you would
- 19:35Speaker 1: stay in Minnesota is because you got the bag. What's
- 19:39Speaker 1: in the bag? Seven years? One hundred million dollars. Hello,
- 19:45Speaker 1: that's a big bag, guaranteed money for an outfield, and
- 19:50Speaker 1: we're not talking about Juan Soto or No, we're talking
- 19:52Speaker 1: about a guy and in busting who's good but not
- 19:56Speaker 1: great and guaranteed Mulah and all that stuff. That's a
- 19:58Speaker 1: lot of coin. That's a a lot of money for
- 20:01Speaker 1: a guy who typically spends a good chunk of every
- 20:04Speaker 1: Major League Baseball season in the injury tent, and he's
- 20:07Speaker 1: been that way for some time. But you throw Egyptian
- 20:11Speaker 1: linens and a hot tub in your Minneapolis mansion and
- 20:16Speaker 1: you can deal with a lot of crappy decisions by
- 20:18Speaker 1: the boss. Suddenly that rebuild doesn't feel so bad. But ultimately,

- 27:27Speaker 1: Dodgers we were In milwaukee and Mister, Baseball Bob yuker
- 27:31Speaker 1: went on a rant about one of the. Guys this
- 27:33Speaker 1: is back in the long time, ago in the, nineties
- 27:35Speaker 1: but The brewers had a guy that hit a lot
- 27:37Speaker 1: of home runs every, year drove in a lot of,
- 27:39Speaker 1: runs and they never made the. Playoffs and he and
- 27:42Speaker 1: a couple of the other writers were pointing out that
- 27:44Speaker 1: these guys that loved playing In milwaukee because they called
- 27:48Speaker 1: it a one beat rider. Town at that that's back
- 27:50Speaker 1: when newspapers still. Mattered there was one beat writer that
- 27:53Speaker 1: covered The, brewers and often late in the year when
- 27:56Speaker 1: the team was out of the, race the beat guy
- 27:57Speaker 1: would stop traveling with the team so they wouldn't have
- 27:59Speaker 1: to adend any. Questions and they loved. It that was
- 28:03Speaker 1: the greatest thing you could possibly have because you just played,
- 28:06Speaker 1: baseball got paid major league, money played in big league,
- 28:08Speaker 1: ballparks and there was like no pressure at. All Toomic
