  this

  outside.
• 3:10
  My
• 3:11
  uncles
• 3:11
  who
• 3:11
  were
• 3:11
  father
• 3:12
  figures,
• 3:12
  they
• 3:13
  were
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  ones
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  really
• 3:14
  introduced
• 3:14
  me
• 3:14
  to
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  game
• 3:15
  of
• 3:15
  baseball.
• 3:18
  Their
• 3:18
  mother
• 3:19
  was
• 3:19
  my
• 3:20
  chief
• 3:20
  mentor.
• 3:22
  But
• 3:23
  in
• 3:23
  learning
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  game
• 3:25
  itself
• 3:26
  through
• 3:27
  my
• 3:27
  uncles,
• 3:28
  there
• 3:28
  was
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  lot
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  talk
• 3:29
  around
• 3:29
  the
• 3:30
  household.
• 3:31
  The
• 3:31
  names
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  usually
• 3:32
  came
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  forefront
• 3:34
  were
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  Mickey
• 3:35
  Mantles,

• 3:36
  Aarons,

  the
• 3:37
  William
• 3:37
  A's.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  those
• 3:39
  were
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  individuals
• 3:40
  that
• 3:41
  were
• 3:41
  always
• 3:42
  consistently
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  limelight.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:45
  who
• 3:45
  you
• 3:46
  probably
• 3:46
  took,
• 3:47
  or
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  should
• 3:47
  say,
• 3:47
  who
• 3:48
  I
• 3:48
  probably
• 3:48
  took
• 3:48
  a
• 3:49
  special
• 3:49
  liking
• 3:49
  towards.
• 3:51
  Now,

  And

  Now,

• 4:12
  That

  my
• 4:22
  uncles,

• 4:39
  body.
• 4:41
  He
• 4:41
  said
• 4:41
  he
• 4:42
  really
• 4:43
  was
• 4:43
  surprised
• 4:44
  at
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  way
• 4:45
  I
• 4:45
  would
• 4:45
  pounce
• 4:45
  on
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  ball.
• 4:46
  He
• 4:46
  said
• 4:47
  usually
• 4:47
  the
• 4:48
  kid
• 4:48
  would
• 4:49
  be
• 4:49
  a
• 4:50
  kid
• 4:52
  would
• 4:52
  be
• 4:52
  fearful
• 4:53
  if
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  ball
• 4:53
  hit
• 4:54
  them.
• 4:55
  And
• 4:55
  he
• 4:55
  said
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  didn't
• 4:56
  really
• 4:57
  show
• 4:57
  that.
• 4:58
  And
• 4:59
  he
• 4:59
  just
• 4:59
  started
• 4:59
  calling
• 5:00
  me
• 5:00
  Hulk
• 5:00
  for
• 5:00
  whatever
• 5:01
  reason
• 5:01
  that
• 5:02
  it
• 5:02
  stuck
• 5:02
  all
• 5:03
  those
• 5:03
  years.
• 5:04
  For
• 5:04
  me,
• 5:04
  it
• 5:05
  was
• 5:06
  my
• 5:06
  form
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  concentration.
• 5:10
  A
• 5:10
  lot
• 5:10
  of
• 5:11
  people
• 5:11
  thought
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  that
• 5:12
  intense
• 5:12
  scowl
• 5:13
  that
• 5:13
  I
• 5:13
  had,
• 5:13
  they
• 5:14
  said
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  had
• 5:14
  anyway,
• 5:16
  was
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  reasoning
• 5:17
  behind
• 5:17
  it.
• 5:17
  But
• 5:18
  no,
• 5:18
  it
• 5:18
  was
• 5:18
  just
• 5:19
  my
• 5:19
  idea
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  focus
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  concentration.
• 5:22
  My
• 5:22
  family
• 5:23
  nickname
• 5:23
  was
• 5:24
  Pudgy.
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  really
• 5:25
  don't
• 5:25
  know
• 5:25
  why.
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  was
• 5:25
  never
• 5:26
  really
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  fat
• 5:26
  kid.
• 5:27
  But,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  know,
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  Hawks
• 5:30
  just
• 5:30
  seemed
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  stick
• 5:30
  all
• 5:31
  those
• 5:31
  years
• 5:31
  and
• 5:32
  even
• 5:32
  till
• 5:32
  today.
• 5:33
  Yes,
• 5:33
  it
• 5:33
  does.
• 5:34
  That's
• 5:34
  for
• 5:35
  sure.
• 5:35
  And
• 5:35
  Andre,
• 5:36
  now,
• 5:36
  saw
• 5:37
  you
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  other
• 5:37
  night
• 5:37
  at
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  Friendly
• 5:38
  Confines.
• 5:39
  You
• 5:39
  sit
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  crowd
• 5:40
  with
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  folks.
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  thought
• 5:41
  that
• 5:42
  was
• 5:42
  great.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:44
  nice
• 5:44
  throwback
• 5:45
  hat
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  jacket,
• 5:46
  Andre.
• 5:46
  Cool.
• 5:49
  Yeah.
• 5:50
  Well,
• 5:51
  what
• 5:52
  happened
• 5:52
  was
• 5:52
  all
• 5:52
  of
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  boxes
• 5:53
  were,
• 5:54
  I
• 5:54
  guess,
• 5:55
  sold,
• 5:55
  right?
• 5:56
  And
• 5:56
  there
• 5:57
  were
• 5:57
  tickets
• 5:57
  available.
• 5:58
  And
• 5:58
  normally
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  don't
• 6:00
  sit
• 6:00
  out
• 6:02
  because
• 6:02
  for
• 6:03
  one,
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  seats
• 6:03
  are
• 6:03
  too
• 6:04
  tight.
• 6:04
  I've
• 6:04
  had
• 6:05
  three
• 6:05
  different
• 6:06
  knee
• 6:06
  replacement
• 6:07
  procedures,
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  hip
• 6:08
  replacement
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  the
• 6:10
  up
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  down
• 6:11
  is
• 6:11
  something
• 6:11
  that,
• 6:12
  you
• 6:12
  know,
• 6:12
  I
• 6:12
  really
• 6:13
  don't
• 6:14
  take
• 6:14
  a
• 6:14
  special
• 6:15
  liking
• 6:15
  towards.
• 6:16
  But
• 6:17
  it
• 6:17
  was
• 6:17
  fun.
• 6:18
  It
• 6:18
  was
• 6:18
  exciting.
• 6:18
  You
• 6:19
  know,
• 6:19
  there
• 6:19
  was
• 6:19
  40
• 6:19
  plus
• 6:20
  thousand
• 6:20
  people
• 6:21
  out
• 6:22
  there,
• 6:22
  and
• 6:23
  for
• 6:23
  me
• 6:23
  it
• 6:23
  was
• 6:23
  just.
• 6:24
  It
• 6:24
  was
• 6:24
  just
• 6:24
  exciting.
• 6:25
  To
• 6:25
  be
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  part
• 6:26
  of
• 6:26
  the
• 6:27
  fun,
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  jubilation,
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  excitement.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:30
  like
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  say,
• 6:30
  normally
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  don't
• 6:31
  really
• 6:31
  sit
• 6:32
  out
• 6:32
  there
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  great
• 6:32
  deal,
• 6:33
  but
• 6:33
  I
• 6:34
  really
• 6:34
  enjoyed
• 6:34
  that.
• 6:35
  Yeah,
• 6:36
  you
• 6:36
  looked
• 6:36
  great
• 6:36
  in
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  crowd,
• 6:37
  Andre.
• 6:38
  Really
• 6:39
  tremendous.
• 6:40
  And
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  tremendous
• 6:41
  night
• 6:41
  for
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  Cubbies.
• 6:42
  Now,
• 6:42
  your
• 6:43
  hall
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  Fame
• 6:43
  plaque,
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  have
• 6:44
  an
• 6:44
  Expos
• 6:45
  cap
• 6:45
  on
• 6:45
  it.
• 6:46
  We
• 6:46
  know
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  was
• 6:47
  chosen
• 6:47
  by
• 6:47
  the
• 6:48
  hall
• 6:48
  of
• 6:48
  Fame,
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  we
• 6:49
  know
• 6:50
  that
• 6:50
  you
• 6:51
  tried
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  get
• 6:52
  it
• 6:52
  switched
• 6:52
  to
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  Cubs,
• 6:53
  which
• 6:54
  is
• 6:54
  who
• 6:54
  you
• 6:55
  would
• 6:55
  have
• 6:55
  chosen
• 6:55
  to
• 6:56
  go
• 6:56
  into
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  hall
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  Fame
• 6:57
  as.
• 6:58
  Now,
• 7:00
  what's
• 7:01
  happened
• 7:01
  with
• 7:01
  that?
• 7:02
  Did
• 7:02
  they
• 7:02
  ever
• 7:02
  give
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  an
• 7:03
  answer
• 7:03
  on
• 7:03
  that?
• 7:05
  Well,
• 7:05
  their
• 7:06
  answer
• 7:06
  was
• 7:06
  it's
• 7:07
  never
• 7:07
  been
• 7:07
  done
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  they
• 7:09
  don't
• 7:09
  want
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  disrupt,
• 7:11
  let's
• 7:11
  say,
• 7:11
  the
• 7:12
  Montreal
• 7:12
  fan
• 7:13
  base.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:15
  I
• 7:15
  pretty
• 7:16
  much,
• 7:16
  you
• 7:16
  know,
• 7:16
  beg
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  differ.
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  think
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  protocol
• 7:19
  has
• 7:20
  really
• 7:20
  changed
• 7:21
  in
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  sense.
• 7:21
  My
• 7:23
  initial
• 7:23
  preference
• 7:24
  was
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  go
• 7:25
  in
• 7:26
  as
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  Cub
• 7:27
  because
• 7:28
  of
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  lot
• 7:29
  of
• 7:30
  things
• 7:30
  that
• 7:30
  transpired
• 7:31
  off
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  field
• 7:31
  as
• 7:32
  an
• 7:32
  Expo.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:34
  by
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  time
• 7:35
  my
• 7:36
  plan
• 7:36
  days
• 7:36
  were
• 7:37
  over
• 7:37
  with
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  Expos,
• 7:38
  I
• 7:38
  had
• 7:38
  moved
• 7:38
  on
• 7:39
  from
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  organization
• 7:41
  and,
• 7:41
  you
• 7:42
  know,
• 7:42
  felt
• 7:42
  that,
• 7:43
  okay,
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  second
• 7:44
  half
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  my
• 7:45
  career
• 7:46
  is
• 7:48
  non
• 7:48
  related
• 7:48
  to
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  Expos.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:50
  I
• 7:50
  just
• 7:50
  felt
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  had
• 7:52
  really
• 7:52
  a
• 7:53
  rejuvenation
• 7:54
  in
• 7:55
  Chicago
• 7:56
  playing
• 7:56
  on
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  natural
• 7:57
  playing
• 7:58
  surface.
• 7:58
  I
• 7:58
  won
• 7:59
  an
• 7:59
  MVP
• 7:59
  award
• 8:01
  for
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  first
• 8:01
  time.
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  really
• 8:02
  didn't
• 8:02
  think
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  would
• 8:03
  win
• 8:03
  it.
• 8:03
  Playing
• 8:04
  across
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  board,
• 8:05
  you
• 8:05
  really
• 8:05
  don't
• 8:05
  get
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  exposure.
• 8:07
  But
• 8:07
  I
• 8:07
  just,
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  just
• 8:08
  felt
• 8:09
  that
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  had
• 8:09
  moved
• 8:09
  on.
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  had
• 8:10
  moved
• 8:10
  on
• 8:11
  from
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  organization,
• 8:12
  from
• 8:12
  the
• 8:13
  fan
• 8:13
  base,
• 8:14
  and
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  felt
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  I
• 8:15
  should
• 8:15
  have
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  say
• 8:16
  so
• 8:16
  in
• 8:16
  it.
• 8:16
  It
• 8:17
  was
• 8:17
  no.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:17
  you're
• 8:17
  talking
• 8:18
  about
• 8:18
  my
• 8:18
  career.
• 8:19
  Right.
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  feel
• 8:20
  that
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  could
• 8:20
  have
• 8:21
  some
• 8:21
  sort
• 8:21
  of
• 8:21
  say
• 8:22
  so
• 8:22
  on
• 8:23
  how
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  wanted
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  be
• 8:24
  represented.
• 8:25
  Right.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:26
  I,
• 8:26
  I
• 8:27
  look
• 8:27
  back
• 8:27
  at
• 8:28
  what
• 8:29
  they
• 8:29
  say
• 8:29
  the
• 8:31
  protocol
• 8:31
  is
• 8:31
  with
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  committee
• 8:33
  making
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  selection
• 8:35
  and
• 8:36
  I,
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  had
• 8:37
  some
• 8:38
  reservations
• 8:39
  because
• 8:40
  they
• 8:40
  started
• 8:41
  admitting
• 8:43
  players,
• 8:44
  managers
• 8:46
  tell
• 8:47
  them
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  they're
• 8:47
  not
• 8:47
  going
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  wear
• 8:49
  an
• 8:49
  emblem.
• 8:50
  And
• 8:51
  I
• 8:52
  was
• 8:52
  told
• 8:52
  that,
• 8:53
  well,
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  committee
• 8:54
  was
• 8:54
  going
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  be
• 8:54
  the
• 8:55
  one
• 8:55
  that
• 8:55
  makes
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  final
• 8:56
  decision.
• 8:56
  Well,
• 8:57
  have
• 8:57
  five
• 8:58
  individuals
• 8:58
  that
• 8:59
  went
• 8:59
  in
• 8:59
  after
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  did
• 9:01
  and
• 9:02
  they
• 9:02
  didn't
• 9:02
  have
• 9:02
  an
• 9:02
  emblem.
• 9:03
  And
• 9:03
  I
• 9:04
  said
• 9:04
  very
• 9:05
  early
• 9:05
  on,
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  know,
• 9:06
  either
• 9:06
  give
• 9:06
  me
• 9:08
  spee
• 9:08
  or,
• 9:09
  you
• 9:09
  know,
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  blank
• 9:09
  contract.
• 9:10
  And
• 9:11
  they
• 9:12
  just
• 9:12
  said,
• 9:12
  well,
• 9:12
  there's
• 9:13
  nothing
• 9:14
  that
• 9:14
  can
• 9:14
  be
• 9:14
  done
• 9:14
  about
• 9:15
  it.
• 9:15
  And
• 9:16
  what
• 9:16
  I
• 9:17
  was
• 9:17
  led
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  understand,
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  board,
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  committee
• 9:22
  did
• 9:23
  a
• 9:23
  redetermination
• 9:24
  and
• 9:25
  decided
• 9:25
  that
• 9:26
  unanimously
• 9:27
  they
• 9:27
  weren't
• 9:27
  going
• 9:27
  to
• 9:28
  do
• 9:28
  anything.
• 9:28
  So
• 9:29
  that's
• 9:29
  pretty
• 9:29
  much
• 9:30
  where
• 9:30
  it
• 9:30
  is
• 9:31
  at
• 9:31
  this
• 9:31
  particular
• 9:31
  point
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  time.
• 9:32
  Yeah,
• 9:33
  that
• 9:33
  I
• 9:34
  don't
• 9:34
  Agree
• 9:34
  with
• 9:34
  that,
• 9:34
  Andre.
• 9:35
  That's
• 9:35
  terrible.
• 9:35
  I'm
• 9:36
  not
• 9:36
  satisfied
• 9:36
  with
• 9:37
  that
• 9:37
  answer.
• 9:37
  For
• 9:38
  folks
• 9:38
  that
• 9:38
  may
• 9:38
  not
• 9:39
  be
• 9:39
  familiar,
• 9:40
  Andre
• 9:40
  was
• 9:41
  colluded
• 9:41
  against
• 9:42
  by
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  Montreal
• 9:43
  Expos
• 9:44
  during
• 9:45
  that
• 9:45
  whole
• 9:45
  era
• 9:45
  of
• 9:47
  owner
• 9:47
  collusion
• 9:48
  against
• 9:49
  free
• 9:49
  agent
• 9:49
  ball
• 9:50
  players.
• 9:51
  And
• 9:52
  to
• 9:53
  give
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  answer,
• 9:53
  like
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  said,
• 9:54
  there
• 9:54
  have
• 9:54
  been
• 9:55
  several
• 9:55
  guys
• 9:55
  who
• 9:55
  went
• 9:55
  in
• 9:56
  with
• 9:56
  no
• 9:57
  emblem
• 9:57
  on
• 9:57
  their
• 9:57
  cap
• 9:58
  and
• 9:59
  that
• 9:59
  should
• 9:59
  at
• 9:59
  least
• 9:59
  been
• 10:00
  afforded.
• 10:00
  I
• 10:00
  mean,
• 10:01
  if
• 10:02
  it's
• 10:02
  a
• 10:02
  cost
• 10:02
  of
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  plaque,
• 10:03
  I
• 10:03
  think
• 10:03
  Jane's
• 10:04
  got
• 10:04
  enough
• 10:04
  money
• 10:04
  to
• 10:05
  pay
• 10:05
  for
• 10:05
  that.
• 10:07
  Also,
• 10:08
  Tony
• 10:08
  Larousse
• 10:09
  is
• 10:09
  going
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  have
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  get
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  new
• 10:10
  plaque
• 10:10
  done
• 10:11
  because
• 10:12
  everything
• 10:12
  on
• 10:12
  his
• 10:13
  is
• 10:13
  obsolete
• 10:13
  since
• 10:14
  he
• 10:14
  came
• 10:14
  back
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  manage
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  White
• 10:15
  Sox.
• 10:16
  So
• 10:17
  that's
• 10:18
  not
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  satisfactory
• 10:19
  answer
• 10:19
  in
• 10:19
  my
• 10:19
  book.
• 10:20
  But
• 10:21
  that's
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  story
• 10:22
  for
• 10:22
  another
• 10:22
  day.
• 10:23
  Now,
• 10:24
  in
• 10:24
  his
• 10:24
  induction
• 10:25
  speech,
• 10:25
  the
• 10:26
  great
• 10:26
  Ryne
• 10:27
  Sandberg
• 10:27
  really
• 10:28
  pleaded
• 10:29
  your
• 10:30
  case
• 10:31
  to,
• 10:31
  to
• 10:31
  the
• 10:32
  people,
• 10:32
  to
• 10:33
  the
• 10:33
  hall
• 10:33
  of
• 10:33
  Famers,
• 10:34
  and
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  the
• 10:36
  powers
• 10:36
  that
• 10:36
  be
• 10:37
  in
• 10:37
  Cooperstown.
• 10:38
  Talk
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  little
• 10:39
  bit
• 10:39
  about
• 10:39
  Ryan
• 10:40
  Sandberg
• 10:41
  and
• 10:42
  how
• 10:42
  missed
• 10:42
  he
• 10:42
  is
• 10:43
  in
• 10:43
  Chicago.
• 10:46
  Yeah,
• 10:46
  one
• 10:46
  of
• 10:46
  my
• 10:46
  all
• 10:46
  time
• 10:47
  favorite
• 10:47
  teammates.
• 10:48
  And
• 10:49
  as
• 10:49
  you
• 10:49
  mentioned,
• 10:50
  he
• 10:50
  did
• 10:51
  vouch
• 10:52
  for
• 10:52
  me
• 10:53
  during
• 10:53
  his
• 10:54
  hall
• 10:54
  of
• 10:54
  Fame
• 10:55
  induction
• 10:55
  speech,
• 10:56
  and
• 10:57
  I
• 10:57
  felt
• 10:57
  very
• 10:57
  honored
• 10:58
  and
• 10:58
  thrilled.
• 11:00
  I
• 11:00
  walked
• 11:01
  right
• 11:01
  next
• 11:01
  to
• 11:02
  him
• 11:02
  and
• 11:03
  one
• 11:03
  of
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  quietest
• 11:04
  individuals
• 11:04
  that
• 11:05
  I
• 11:05
  had
• 11:05
  ever
• 11:05
  been
• 11:05
  around,
• 11:06
  but
• 11:06
  maybe
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  little
• 11:07
  sneaky,
• 11:08
  Frankie,
• 11:09
  but
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  sense,
• 11:10
  just
• 11:11
  a
• 11:11
  no
• 11:11
  nonsense
• 11:12
  guy,
• 11:13
  terrific
• 11:14
  work
• 11:14
  ethic,
• 11:14
  and
• 11:15
  gave
• 11:15
  it
• 11:15
  his
• 11:16
  all
• 11:16
  each
• 11:16
  and
• 11:16
  every
• 11:17
  time
• 11:17
  he
• 11:17
  was
• 11:18
  out
• 11:18
  there
• 11:18
  on
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  playing
• 11:18
  field.
• 11:19
  And
• 11:21
  so
• 11:21
  sad
• 11:22
  when
• 11:23
  we
• 11:23
  lost
• 11:24
  him
• 11:24
  a
• 11:25
  few
• 11:25
  months
• 11:25
  ago.
• 11:27
  I
• 11:27
  will,
• 11:27
  you
• 11:28
  know,
• 11:28
  again
• 11:28
  say
• 11:29
  he
• 11:29
  was
• 11:29
  one
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  my
• 11:29
  all
• 11:30
  time
• 11:30
  favorites
• 11:31
  and
• 11:32
  his
• 11:32
  work
• 11:32
  ethic
• 11:33
  was
• 11:33
  impeccable.
• 11:34
  And
• 11:35
  he's
• 11:35
  one
• 11:35
  of
• 11:35
  those
• 11:36
  individuals
• 11:36
  that
• 11:37
  you
• 11:38
  marvel
• 11:39
  at
• 11:39
  his
• 11:39
  game
• 11:40
  from
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  distance
• 11:41
  if
• 11:41
  you're
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  opposition
• 11:42
  and
• 11:42
  when
• 11:43
  you're
• 11:43
  his
• 11:43
  teammate
• 11:45
  was.
• 11:46
  That
• 11:46
  was,
• 11:46
  you
• 11:47
  know,
• 11:47
  for
• 11:48
  me,
• 11:49
  I
• 11:49
  really
• 11:49
  enjoyed
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  opportunity
• 11:51
  those
• 11:51
  six
• 11:51
  years
• 11:51
  that
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  was
• 11:52
  able
• 11:52
  to
• 11:53
  be
• 11:53
  in
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  same
• 11:54
  lineup
• 11:54
  with
• 11:54
  him
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  go
• 11:55
  out
• 11:55
  there
• 11:56
  and
• 11:57
  play
• 11:57
  the
• 11:57
  game
• 11:57
  with
• 11:57
  him.
• 11:58
  The
• 11:58
  great
• 11:58
  Ryan
• 11:59
  Sandberg,
• 11:59
  ladies
• 12:00
  and
• 12:00
  gentlemen,
• 12:01
  this
• 12:01
  year's
• 12:02
  postseason.
• 12:03
  Andre,
• 12:04
  we're
• 12:04
  in
• 12:04
  the
• 12:04
  middle
• 12:04
  of
• 12:04
  it
• 12:05
  now.
• 12:06
  It's
• 12:06
  brought
• 12:07
  up
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  topic
• 12:08
  of
• 12:08
  sportsmanship,
• 12:09
  brought
• 12:10
  that
• 12:10
  to
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  forefront.
• 12:11
  I
• 12:11
  mean,
• 12:11
  you
• 12:11
  had
• 12:12
  the
• 12:12
  Toronto
• 12:13
  Blue
• 12:13
  Jays
• 12:13
  singing

• 12:15
  Vladdy
• 12:15
  Guerrero
• 12:17
  imitating
• 12:18
  John
• 12:18
  Sterling
• 12:18
  with
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  Yankees

• 12:20
  The

  Yankees

  lose.
• 12:21
  The
• 12:22
  brewers
• 12:23
  the
• 12:23
  other
• 12:23
  night
• 12:24
  flew
• 12:24
  the
• 12:24
  L
• 12:24
  flag.
• 12:25
  A
• 12:26
  little,
• 12:26
  a
• 12:26
  little
• 12:28
  knock
• 12:28
  there
• 12:28
  against
• 12:29
  the
• 12:29
  Cubbies.
• 12:30
  It's
• 12:31
  not
• 12:31
  what
• 12:31
  it
• 12:31
  used
• 12:32
  to
• 12:32
  be.
• 12:34
  These
• 12:34
  guys
• 12:34
  make
• 12:35
  all
• 12:35
  kinds
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  motions
• 12:36
  when
• 12:36
  they
• 12:36
  get
• 12:36
  to
• 12:36
  first
• 12:37
  base.
• 12:37
  I
• 12:37
  remember
• 12:38
  Mickey
• 12:38
  Mantle
• 12:39
  once
• 12:39
  said
• 12:39
  he
• 12:40
  ran
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  bases
• 12:41
  with
• 12:41
  his
• 12:41
  head
• 12:41
  down
• 12:42
  after
• 12:42
  a
• 12:42
  Home
• 12:42
  run
• 12:43
  because
• 12:43
  he
• 12:44
  said
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  pitcher
• 12:44
  probably
• 12:45
  felt
• 12:45
  bad
• 12:46
  enough.
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  mean,
• 12:47
  what
• 12:47
  is
• 12:48
  next
• 12:48
  out
• 12:48
  there?
• 12:49
  They're
• 12:49
  going
• 12:49
  to
• 12:49
  be
• 12:49
  taunting
• 12:50
  each
• 12:50
  other
• 12:50
  on
• 12:51
  the
• 12:51
  field.
• 12:51
  How
• 12:52
  do
• 12:52
  you
• 12:52
  feel
• 12:52
  about
• 12:53
  this
• 12:53
  topic
• 12:54
  of
• 12:54
  sportsmanship,
• 12:54
  Andre?
• 12:56
  Well,
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  definitely
• 12:58
  agree
• 12:58
  that,
• 12:58
  you
• 12:59
  know,
• 12:59
  it's
• 12:59
  gotten
• 13:00
  a
• 13:00
  little
• 13:00
  bit
• 13:00
  out
• 13:00
  of
• 13:01
  hand,
• 13:02
  you
• 13:03
  know,
• 13:03
  the
• 13:03
  game
• 13:03
  change
• 13:04
  and
• 13:05
  these
• 13:05
  individuals
• 13:06
  make
• 13:06
  so
• 13:06
  much
• 13:07
  money
• 13:08
  today,
• 13:08
  they're
• 13:08
  allowed
• 13:09
  to
• 13:09
  do
• 13:09
  whatever
• 13:09
  it
• 13:10
  is
• 13:10
  they
• 13:11
  feel
• 13:11
  like
• 13:12
  doing,
• 13:13
  which
• 13:13
  they
• 13:13
  feel
• 13:14
  is
• 13:14
  necessary.
• 13:15
  And
• 13:15
  there's
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  lot
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  taunting,
• 13:16
  a
• 13:16
  lot
• 13:17
  of
• 13:17
  animation
• 13:18
  in
• 13:18
  the
• 13:19
  game
• 13:19
  itself,
• 13:19
  a
• 13:20
  lot
• 13:20
  of
• 13:20
  hot
• 13:20
  dogging,
• 13:21
  which
• 13:22
  really
• 13:22
  wasn't
• 13:23
  quite
• 13:24
  the
• 13:24
  norm
• 13:25
  back
• 13:25
  during
• 13:25
  my
• 13:26
  era.
• 13:26
  But
• 13:27
  I
• 13:27
  look
• 13:27
  at
• 13:27
  it,
• 13:28
  I
• 13:28
  look
• 13:28
  at
• 13:28
  it
• 13:28
  in
• 13:28
  a
• 13:29
  sense
• 13:29
  and
• 13:30
  you
• 13:30
  know,
• 13:30
  it's
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  tri.
• 13:31
  It's
• 13:31
  distracting,
• 13:33
  but,
• 13:33
  you
• 13:34
  know,
• 13:34
  what
• 13:34
  are
• 13:34
  you
• 13:35
  going
• 13:35
  to
• 13:35
  do?
• 13:35
  It's
• 13:35
  just
• 13:35
  where
• 13:35
  the
• 13:36
  game
• 13:36
  is
• 13:36
  today.
• 13:37
  There's
• 13:38
  a
• 13:38
  lot
• 13:38
  of
• 13:38
  it
• 13:38
  that,
• 13:38
  that
• 13:39
  a
• 13:39
  lot
• 13:39
  of
• 13:39
  it
• 13:39
  that
• 13:40
  is
• 13:40
  going
• 13:40
  on
• 13:41
  and
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  just
• 13:43
  think
• 13:43
  that,
• 13:43
  you
• 13:43
  know,
• 13:45
  it's
• 13:45
  a
• 13:45
  bad
• 13:46
  sign
• 13:46
  that's
• 13:47
  sent
• 13:47
  to
• 13:47
  the
• 13:47
  kids,
• 13:48
  you
• 13:48
  know,
• 13:49
  because
• 13:49
  they
• 13:49
  pick
• 13:49
  up
• 13:49
  on
• 13:50
  this
• 13:50
  and
• 13:51
  they
• 13:51
  do
• 13:52
  it
• 13:52
  and
• 13:52
  you
• 13:52
  know,
• 13:53
  they
• 13:53
  find
• 13:53
  themselves
• 13:54
  in
• 13:54
  trouble
• 13:54
  in
• 13:55
  their
• 13:55
  leagues.
• 13:56
  So
• 13:58
  I
• 13:58
  laugh
• 13:59
  at
• 13:59
  it
• 13:59
  in
• 13:59
  a
• 13:59
  sense,
• 14:00
  you
• 14:00
  know,
• 14:01
  because
• 14:01
  like
• 14:01
  I
• 14:01
  said,
• 14:01
  it's
• 14:01
  just
• 14:02
  where
• 14:02
  the
• 14:02
  game
• 14:02
  yesterday
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  you
• 14:04
  know,
• 14:05
  if
• 14:05
  you
• 14:05
  did
• 14:06
  it
• 14:06
  and
• 14:06
  you
• 14:07
  had
• 14:07
  some
• 14:07
  of
• 14:07
  the
• 14:08
  likes
• 14:08
  of
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  NOLAN
• 14:09
  Ryans,
• 14:10
  the
• 14:10
  J.R.
• 14:11
  richards,
• 14:11
  you
• 14:12
  had
• 14:12
  those
• 14:12
  guys
• 14:12
  on
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  mound,
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  tell
• 14:13
  you
• 14:13
  what,
• 14:14
  you'd
• 14:14
  be
• 14:14
  on
• 14:14
  your
• 14:14
  back
• 14:14
  a
• 14:15
  lot.
• 14:15
  That's
• 14:16
  right.
• 14:17
  But
• 14:18
  you
• 14:18
  know,
• 14:18
  as
• 14:19
  I
• 14:19
  mentioned,
• 14:19
  it's
• 14:20
  just,
• 14:20
  you
• 14:20
  know,
• 14:20
  where
• 14:21
  the
• 14:21
  game
• 14:21
  is
• 14:21
  today.
• 14:22
  Right.
• 14:22
  I
• 14:23
  guess
• 14:23
  we
• 14:23
  have
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  roll
• 14:24
  with
• 14:24
  the
• 14:24
  changes,
• 14:24
  Andre,
• 14:25
  as
• 14:25
  they
• 14:25
  say.
• 14:26
  Now
• 14:27
  we're
• 14:27
  speaking
• 14:27
  with
• 14:28
  the
• 14:28
  Hawk
• 14:28
  tonight,
• 14:29
  the
• 14:29
  great
• 14:29
  Andre
• 14:29
  Dawson.
• 14:31
  A
• 14:31
  lot
• 14:31
  of
• 14:31
  questioning
• 14:31
  of
• 14:32
  umpires
• 14:32
  being
• 14:33
  done
• 14:33
  these
• 14:33
  days
• 14:34
  too,
• 14:34
  Andre.
• 14:34
  With,
• 14:35
  with
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  strike
• 14:35
  zone.
• 14:37
  We
• 14:37
  have
• 14:37
  the
• 14:37
  replay
• 14:38
  now
• 14:39
  on
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  calls
• 14:40
  on
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  base
• 14:41
  paths,
• 14:42
  we
• 14:42
  see
• 14:43
  that
• 14:43
  being
• 14:43
  used
• 14:44
  now,
• 14:44
  the
• 14:45
  balls
• 14:45
  and
• 14:45
  strikes,
• 14:45
  we
• 14:46
  don't
• 14:46
  have
• 14:46
  that.
• 14:47
  We're
• 14:47
  going
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  have
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  automated
• 14:49
  ball
• 14:49
  strike
• 14:49
  system
• 14:50
  coming
• 14:51
  our
• 14:51
  way
• 14:51
  in
• 14:51
  2026.
• 14:52
  How
• 14:53
  do
• 14:53
  you
• 14:53
  feel
• 14:53
  about
• 14:53
  that
• 14:54
  being
• 14:54
  implemented
• 14:55
  into
• 14:55
  the
• 14:55
  game?
• 14:57
  Well,
• 14:58
  you're
• 14:58
  going
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  have
• 14:58
  those
• 14:59
  that
• 14:59
  are
• 14:59
  going
• 15:00
  to,
• 15:01
  they're
• 15:01
  going
• 15:02
  to
• 15:02
  have
• 15:02
  their
• 15:02
  reservations
• 15:03
  and
• 15:03
  arguments
• 15:04
  with
• 15:04
  the
• 15:04
  automated
• 15:05
  system
• 15:06
  itself
• 15:06
  because
• 15:06
  they're
• 15:07
  going
• 15:07
  to
• 15:07
  think
• 15:08
  pictures
• 15:08
  above
• 15:09
  and
• 15:09
  it's
• 15:09
  going
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  be
• 15:10
  called
• 15:10
  a
• 15:10
  strike
• 15:11
  and
• 15:11
  vice
• 15:11
  versa.
• 15:13
  So
• 15:13
  I
• 15:13
  like
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  human
• 15:14
  element.
• 15:15
  That's
• 15:15
  why
• 15:16
  I
• 15:16
  say
• 15:16
  it's
• 15:17
  a
• 15:17
  tough
• 15:17
  game
• 15:17
  to
• 15:17
  watch
• 15:18
  today
• 15:18
  because
• 15:18
  of
• 15:18
  all
• 15:18
  of
• 15:19
  the
• 15:19
  changes
• 15:20
  that
• 15:20
  have
• 15:20
  gone
• 15:21
  on
• 15:21
  instant
• 15:21
  replay,
• 15:23
  training
• 15:23
  challenges,
• 15:24
  so
• 15:25
  be
• 15:25
  it.
• 15:25
  Okay,
• 15:26
  I
• 15:26
  can
• 15:26
  understand
• 15:26
  that.
• 15:27
  Because
• 15:27
  you
• 15:28
  want
• 15:28
  to
• 15:28
  make
• 15:28
  sure
• 15:28
  you
• 15:28
  get
• 15:29
  the
• 15:29
  right
• 15:29
  call
• 15:29
  on
• 15:29
  the
• 15:30
  base
• 15:30
  project
• 15:30
  and
• 15:30
  be
• 15:31
  determining
• 15:32
  factor
• 15:32
  in
• 15:32
  a
• 15:32
  game.
• 15:33
  But
• 15:34
  umpires,
• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  know,
• 15:35
  they're
• 15:36
  human
• 15:36
  and
• 15:37
  they're
• 15:38
  going
• 15:38
  to
• 15:38
  make
• 15:38
  mistakes,
• 15:39
  but
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  human
• 15:40
  element
• 15:41
  when
• 15:41
  it
• 15:41
  comes
• 15:41
  behind
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  plate,
• 15:43
  I'd
• 15:43
  rather
• 15:43
  not
• 15:43
  tamper
• 15:44
  with
• 15:44
  that
• 15:44
  because,
• 15:45
  you
• 15:46
  know,
• 15:46
  it's
• 15:46
  not
• 15:47
  that
• 15:47
  big
• 15:47
  of
• 15:48
  a
• 15:49
  difference
• 15:49
  when
• 15:49
  it
• 15:50
  comes
• 15:50
  to
• 15:50
  balls
• 15:50
  and
• 15:50
  strikes.
• 15:51
  I
• 15:51
  just
• 15:52
  to
• 15:52
  make
• 15:53
  you
• 15:53
  more
• 15:53
  aware
• 15:53
  of
• 15:55
  knowing
• 15:55
  the
• 15:56
  plate,
• 15:56
  knowing
• 15:56
  the
• 15:56
  strike
• 15:57
  zone,
• 15:57
  and
• 15:57
  just
• 15:58
  swinging
• 15:58
  anything
• 15:58
  close,
• 16:00
  right?
• 16:00
  And
• 16:01
  speaking
• 16:01
  of
• 16:01
  umpires,
• 16:02
  Andre,
• 16:03
  I
• 16:03
  had
• 16:04
  read,
• 16:04
  now
• 16:04
  I
• 16:04
  want
• 16:05
  you
• 16:05
  to
• 16:05
  confirm
• 16:05
  this
• 16:05
  for
• 16:06
  me
• 16:06
  if
• 16:06
  you
• 16:06
  can.
• 16:07
  You
• 16:07
  were
• 16:07
  called
• 16:07
  out
• 16:08
  on
• 16:08
  a
• 16:09
  call,
• 16:09
  third
• 16:09
  strike,
• 16:10
  by
• 16:10
  Joe
• 16:11
  west,
• 16:12
  famous
• 16:12
  Joe
• 16:12
  west,
• 16:13
  and
• 16:14
  he
• 16:14
  ejected
• 16:15
  you
• 16:15
  for
• 16:15
  arguing
• 16:15
  that
• 16:16
  call.
• 16:16
  Now,
• 16:16
  you
• 16:16
  were
• 16:16
  fined
• 16:17
  $500,
• 16:19
  a
• 16:19
  lot
• 16:19
  of
• 16:19
  money
• 16:19
  back
• 16:20
  then
• 16:20
  by
• 16:20
  the
• 16:21
  National
• 16:21
  League.
• 16:22
  Now
• 16:22
  what
• 16:22
  they
• 16:23
  say
• 16:23
  is
• 16:23
  you
• 16:24
  paid
• 16:24
  by
• 16:24
  check
• 16:25
  and
• 16:25
  you
• 16:25
  wrote
• 16:26
  donation
• 16:27
  for
• 16:27
  the
• 16:27
  blind
• 16:28
  in
• 16:28
  the
• 16:28
  memo.
• 16:29
  Is
• 16:29
  that
• 16:29
  true?
• 16:32
  Yeah,
• 16:32
  that
• 16:33
  was
• 16:33
  just
• 16:33
  a
• 16:33
  list
• 16:33
  like
• 16:34
  that
• 16:34
  Joe,
• 16:34
  Country
• 16:35
  Joe,
• 16:35
  because,
• 16:36
  you
• 16:36
  know,
• 16:36
  Joe
• 16:37
  was
• 16:37
  Joe
• 16:37
  a
• 16:38
  little
• 16:38
  different.
• 16:38
  You
• 16:38
  know,
• 16:39
  he
• 16:39
  kind
• 16:39
  of
• 16:39
  had
• 16:39
  you
• 16:40
  on
• 16:40
  a
• 16:40
  little
• 16:40
  bit.
• 16:41
  And
• 16:42
  even
• 16:42
  when
• 16:43
  you
• 16:43
  know
• 16:43
  you're
• 16:43
  not
• 16:44
  in
• 16:44
  a
• 16:44
  batter's
• 16:44
  box,
• 16:45
  if

  you
• 16:46
  get

  jammed
• 16:47
  on

  a,
• 16:48
  on
• 16:48
  a
• 16:48
  pitch,
• 16:49
  you
• 16:49
  get
• 16:49
  a
• 16:49
  base
• 16:49
  hit
• 16:50
  here,
• 16:50
  that
• 16:50
  would
• 16:50
  be
• 16:51
  a
• 16:51
  comment
• 16:52
  made
• 16:52
  when
• 16:52
  you're
• 16:52
  going
• 16:52
  out
• 16:53
  to
• 16:53
  your
• 16:53
  position.
• 16:53
  But
• 16:54
  yeah,
• 16:55
  I
• 16:56
  did
• 16:56
  make
• 16:56
  the
• 16:58
  check
• 16:58
  made
• 16:58
  out
• 16:59
  donation
• 17:00
  for
• 17:00
  the
• 17:00
  blind.
• 17:01
  And
• 17:03
  I
• 17:03
  just,
• 17:03
  you
• 17:03
  know,
• 17:04
  when
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  thought
• 17:04
  about
• 17:04
  that,
• 17:05
  I
• 17:05
  said,
• 17:05
  do
• 17:05
  I
• 17:05
  really
• 17:05
  want
• 17:05
  to
• 17:06
  do
• 17:06
  this?
• 17:07
  And
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  said,
• 17:07
  you
• 17:08
  know,
• 17:08
  you
• 17:09
  know,
• 17:09
  why
• 17:09
  not?
• 17:09
  I'll
• 17:09
  just
• 17:10
  have
• 17:10
  a
• 17:10
  little
• 17:10
  fun
• 17:10
  with
• 17:11
  it.
• 17:11
  Yeah,
• 17:12
  it
• 17:13
  just
• 17:13
  something
• 17:14
  that
• 17:16
  filled
• 17:16
  out,
• 17:17
  put
• 17:17
  a
• 17:17
  stamp
• 17:18
  on
• 17:18
  the
• 17:18
  envelope
• 17:18
  and
• 17:19
  mailed
• 17:19
  it
• 17:19
  to
• 17:19
  Major
• 17:19
  League
• 17:20
  Baseball
• 17:20
  officers.
• 17:21
  There
• 17:22
  you
• 17:22
  go.
• 17:22
  So
• 17:22
  that
• 17:23
  is
• 17:23
  a
• 17:23
  true
• 17:23
  story,
• 17:24
  a
• 17:24
  great
• 17:24
  story
• 17:25
  from
• 17:26
  Andre
• 17:26
  Dawson.
• 17:27
  Now,
• 17:27
  we
• 17:27
  talked
• 17:28
  a
• 17:28
  little
• 17:28
  bit
• 17:28
  earlier,
• 17:29
  Andre,
• 17:29
  about
• 17:29
  the
• 17:30
  collusion
• 17:30
  situation,
• 17:31
  Major
• 17:32
  League
• 17:32
  Baseball.
• 17:32
  Now,
• 17:33
  Marvin
• 17:34
  Miller
• 17:34
  said
• 17:35
  that
• 17:36
  it
• 17:36
  was
• 17:36
  an
• 17:37
  agreement
• 17:37
  not
• 17:37
  to
• 17:38
  improve
• 17:38
  your
• 17:39
  team.
• 17:39
  That's
• 17:39
  the
• 17:39
  way
• 17:40
  Marvin
• 17:40
  Miller
• 17:41
  put
• 17:41
  it.
• 17:42
  Now,
• 17:42
  they
• 17:43
  wouldn't
• 17:43
  improve
• 17:43
  their
• 17:44
  offer.
• 17:44
  And
• 17:44
  I
• 17:44
  speak
• 17:44
  of
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  Montreal
• 17:45
  Expos
• 17:46
  there,
• 17:47
  and
• 17:47
  no
• 17:47
  other
• 17:47
  team
• 17:48
  was
• 17:48
  making
• 17:49
  offers
• 17:49
  to
• 17:50
  you
• 17:50
  because
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  owners
• 17:52
  were
• 17:52
  in
• 17:53
  cahoots
• 17:53
  and
• 17:54
  they
• 17:54
  were
• 17:54
  colluding
• 17:55
  against
• 17:55
  free
• 17:55
  agent
• 17:56
  ballplayers.
• 17:57
  You
• 17:57
  wanted
• 17:58
  to
• 17:58
  go
• 17:58
  where
• 17:59
  there
• 17:59
  was
• 17:59
  natural
• 17:59
  grass.
• 18:00
  Of
• 18:00
  course,
• 18:00
  Montreal
• 18:02
  did
• 18:02
  wrong
• 18:03
  by
• 18:03
  you.
• 18:03
  So
• 18:04
  you
• 18:04
  visited
• 18:05
  the
• 18:05
  Cubs
• 18:06
  in
• 18:06
  spring
• 18:07
  training
• 18:07
  and,
• 18:08
  and
• 18:08
  tell
• 18:08
  us
• 18:08
  what
• 18:08
  happened.
• 18:11
  Well,
• 18:11
  my
• 18:11
  agent,
• 18:12
  the
• 18:13
  late
• 18:14
  Dick
• 18:14
  Moss,
• 18:15
  and
• 18:15
  I
• 18:15
  sat
• 18:15
  down
• 18:16
  and
• 18:18
  we
• 18:19
  decided,
• 18:19
  you
• 18:19
  know,
• 18:20
  no
• 18:20
  one's
• 18:20
  going
• 18:20
  to
• 18:20
  make
• 18:21
  us
• 18:21
  an
• 18:21
  offer.
• 18:22
  And
• 18:22
  the
• 18:23
  best
• 18:23
  way
• 18:23
  for
• 18:24
  me
• 18:24
  to
• 18:24
  get
• 18:25
  out
• 18:25
  of
• 18:25
  Montreal,
• 18:26
  off
• 18:26
  the
• 18:26
  Asper
• 18:27
  turf,
• 18:27
  they
• 18:28
  were
• 18:28
  offering
• 18:28
  me
• 18:29
  an
• 18:29
  extension
• 18:30
  as
• 18:31
  a
• 18:31
  free
• 18:31
  agent.
• 18:31
  But
• 18:32
  for
• 18:33
  $200,000
• 18:34
  couldn't
• 18:34
  pay.
• 18:34
  And.
• 18:35
  And
• 18:36
  I
• 18:36
  made
• 18:36
  the
• 18:37
  comment,
• 18:37
  you
• 18:37
  know,
• 18:38
  it's
• 18:38
  a
• 18:38
  slap
• 18:38
  in
• 18:39
  the
• 18:39
  face.
• 18:39
  It's
• 18:39
  not
• 18:40
  going
• 18:40
  to
• 18:40
  happen.
• 18:41
  The
• 18:41
  Astroturf
• 18:42
  is
• 18:43
  starting
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  take
• 18:44
  its
• 18:44
  toll.
• 18:45
  And
• 18:45
  I
• 18:46
  can
• 18:46
  see
• 18:46
  the
• 18:46
  writing
• 18:47
  on
• 18:47
  the
• 18:47
  wall.
• 18:47
  It's
• 18:48
  probably
• 18:48
  time
• 18:49
  for
• 18:49
  me
• 18:49
  to
• 18:49
  move
• 18:49
  on.
• 18:50
  And
• 18:50
  it
• 18:51
  pretty
• 18:51
  much
• 18:51
  held
• 18:51
  their
• 18:51
  ground.
• 18:52
  They
• 18:52
  didn't
• 18:53
  budge.
• 18:54
  I
• 18:54
  met
• 18:54
  with
• 18:56
  the
• 18:56
  president,
• 18:57
  the
• 18:58
  late
• 18:58
  John
• 18:59
  McHale,
• 18:59
  in
• 19:00
  West
• 19:01
  Palm
• 19:01
  Beach.
• 19:04
  He
• 19:04
  said
• 19:04
  the
• 19:04
  office
• 19:04
  still
• 19:05
  stood.
• 19:05
  And
• 19:05
  I
• 19:06
  made
• 19:07
  a
• 19:07
  comment
• 19:07
  to
• 19:07
  him,
• 19:07
  thank
• 19:08
  you
• 19:08
  very
• 19:08
  much.
• 19:08
  No,
• 19:09
  I
• 19:09
  haven't
• 19:09
  entertained
• 19:10
  it
• 19:10
  at
• 19:10
  all.
• 19:11
  I
• 19:11
  understand
• 19:12
  it's
• 19:12
  probably
• 19:12
  time
• 19:13
  for
• 19:13
  me
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  move
• 19:13
  on.
• 19:14
  And
• 19:15
  that
• 19:15
  meant
• 19:15
  that
• 19:16
  I
• 19:16
  didn't
• 19:16
  have
• 19:16
  a
• 19:16
  job.
• 19:17
  And
• 19:18
  my
• 19:18
  agent
• 19:19
  and
• 19:19
  I
• 19:19
  went
• 19:19
  out
• 19:19
  to
• 19:20
  his
• 19:20
  home
• 19:20
  in
• 19:21
  California.
• 19:22
  We
• 19:23
  tossed
• 19:23
  around
• 19:23
  a
• 19:24
  few
• 19:24
  things,
• 19:24
  and
• 19:25
  he
• 19:25
  came
• 19:26
  up
• 19:26
  with
• 19:26
  the
• 19:26
  idea
• 19:27
  that,
• 19:28
  you
• 19:28
  know,
• 19:29
  I
• 19:29
  noticed
• 19:30
  you
• 19:31
  have
• 19:31
  two
• 19:31
  teams
• 19:32
  in
• 19:32
  particular
• 19:33
  that
• 19:33
  you
• 19:34
  really
• 19:34
  would
• 19:34
  like
• 19:35
  to
• 19:36
  join
• 19:36
  forces
• 19:36
  with,
• 19:37
  that
• 19:37
  being
• 19:37
  the
• 19:37
  Cubs
• 19:38
  and
• 19:38
  the
• 19:38
  other,
• 19:38
  the
• 19:38
  Atlanta
• 19:39
  Braves
• 19:39
  because
• 19:40
  they
• 19:40
  were
• 19:40
  both
• 19:41
  still
• 19:41
  in
• 19:41
  the
• 19:42
  National
• 19:42
  League.
• 19:42
  A
• 19:42
  natural
• 19:43
  playing
• 19:43
  surface.
• 19:45
  Atlanta
• 19:45
  because
• 19:45
  it
• 19:46
  was
• 19:46
  closer
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  my
• 19:46
  home,
• 19:47
  but
• 19:47
  Chicago,
• 19:48
  because
• 19:49
  I
• 19:49
  always
• 19:49
  enjoyed
• 19:50
  daytime
• 19:50
  baseball
• 19:52
  and
• 19:52
  rigged
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  field
• 19:53
  and
• 19:53
  that
• 19:53
  whole
• 19:54
  fan
• 19:54
  base.
• 19:55
  And
• 19:56
  we
• 19:56
  just
• 19:57
  came
• 19:57
  up
• 19:57
  with
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  idea
• 19:58
  where
• 19:58
  we
• 19:58
  can
• 19:58
  go
• 19:58
  out
• 19:59
  to
• 19:59
  spring
• 19:59
  training,
• 19:59
  which
• 20:00
  had
• 20:00
  already
• 20:01
  started
• 20:01
  in
• 20:01
  Arizona.
• 20:03
  We
• 20:03
  could
• 20:03
  show
• 20:04
  up
• 20:04
  on
• 20:04
  announce
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05
  request
• 20:06
  a
• 20:06
  meeting
• 20:07
  with
• 20:07
  Dallas
• 20:07
  Green.
• 20:09
  And
• 20:10
  that's
• 20:10
  kind
• 20:10
  of
• 20:10
  how
• 20:10
  it
• 20:11
  played
• 20:11
  itself
• 20:11
  out.
• 20:11
  We
• 20:12
  were
• 20:12
  standing
• 20:12
  outside
• 20:12
  of
• 20:13
  the
• 20:14
  fences,
• 20:14
  and
• 20:15
  Summer
• 20:15
  Nova,
• 20:15
  one
• 20:16
  of
• 20:16
  the
• 20:16
  security
• 20:16
  people,
• 20:17
  and
• 20:18
  mentioned
• 20:18
  that
• 20:18
  we
• 20:18
  would
• 20:19
  like
• 20:19
  to
• 20:19
  go
• 20:19
  in
• 20:19
  and
• 20:19
  speak
• 20:20
  with
• 20:20
  Mr.
• 20:20
  Green.
• 20:20
  And
• 20:21
  we
• 20:21
  went
• 20:21
  in.
• 20:22
  Dallas
• 20:22
  was
• 20:22
  surprised.
• 20:23
  He
• 20:23
  didn't
• 20:23
  know
• 20:24
  what
• 20:24
  was
• 20:25
  going
• 20:25
  on.
• 20:25
  And
• 20:25
  I.
• 20:26
  I
• 20:27
  mentioned
• 20:27
  to
• 20:27
  him,
• 20:27
  I
• 20:27
  said,
• 20:27
  Mr.
• 20:28
  Green,
• 20:28
  I'm.
• 20:28
  I'm
• 20:29
  here
• 20:29
  not
• 20:29
  to
• 20:29
  take
• 20:30
  up
• 20:30
  too
• 20:30
  much
• 20:30
  of
• 20:30
  your
• 20:31
  time,
• 20:31
  but
• 20:32
  have
• 20:32
  a
• 20:32
  blank
• 20:32
  contract.
• 20:33
  I
• 20:33
  want
• 20:33
  you
• 20:34
  to
• 20:34
  look
• 20:34
  at
• 20:34
  and
• 20:35
  consider
• 20:36
  making
• 20:36
  me
• 20:36
  an
• 20:36
  offer.
• 20:37
  I
• 20:38
  would
• 20:38
  like
• 20:38
  to
• 20:38
  be
• 20:38
  a
• 20:38
  part
• 20:39
  of
• 20:39
  the
• 20:39
  Chicago
• 20:39
  club
• 20:40
  organization.
• 20:40
  And
• 20:41
  he
• 20:41
  really
• 20:42
  didn't
• 20:42
  know
• 20:42
  what
• 20:42
  to
• 20:42
  make
• 20:43
  of
• 20:43
  it.
• 20:43
  He
• 20:44
  made
• 20:44
  a
• 20:44
  comment
• 20:45
  that,
• 20:46
  well,
• 20:46
  he
• 20:46
  has
• 20:47
  young
• 20:47
  individuals
• 20:48
  that
• 20:48
  you
• 20:49
  need
• 20:49
  to
• 20:49
  give
• 20:49
  a
• 20:49
  look,
• 20:50
  give
• 20:50
  an
• 20:50
  opportunity
• 20:51
  to
• 20:52
  make
• 20:52
  that
• 20:52
  ball
• 20:52
  club.
• 20:53
  And
• 20:53
  I
• 20:53
  fully
• 20:54
  understood.
• 20:55
  And
• 20:55
  I
• 20:55
  say,
• 20:55
  I
• 20:56
  know,
• 20:56
  but
• 20:56
  I'm
• 20:56
  going
• 20:56
  to
• 20:57
  only
• 20:57
  leave
• 20:57
  this
• 20:57
  offer
• 20:58
  on
• 20:58
  the
• 20:59
  table
• 20:59
  for
• 21:00
  24
• 21:00
  hours.
• 21:01
  I'm
• 21:01
  going
• 21:01
  to
• 21:01
  West
• 21:02
  Palm
• 21:02
  Beach.
• 21:02
  I'm
• 21:02
  going
• 21:02
  to
• 21:03
  do
• 21:03
  the
• 21:03
  same
• 21:03
  thing
• 21:03
  with
• 21:03
  the
• 21:03
  Atlanta
• 21:04
  Braves.
• 21:04
  And
• 21:05
  at
• 21:05
  that
• 21:06
  point,
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  was
• 21:07
  on
• 21:08
  my
• 21:08
  way
• 21:08
  back
• 21:08
  home.
• 21:08
  And
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  next
• 21:09
  day
• 21:09
  I
• 21:09
  got
• 21:10
  a
• 21:10
  call,
• 21:11
  actually,
• 21:12
  as
• 21:12
  I
• 21:12
  was
• 21:12
  about
• 21:13
  to
• 21:13
  get
• 21:13
  in
• 21:13
  my
• 21:13
  vehicle
• 21:14
  and
• 21:14
  go
• 21:14
  to
• 21:14
  West
• 21:14
  Palm
• 21:15
  Beach.
• 21:15
  And
• 21:15
  it
• 21:15
  was.
• 21:16
  It
• 21:16
  was
• 21:16
  Dallas
• 21:16
  Green.
• 21:17
  And
• 21:17
  he
• 21:17
  said,
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  best
• 21:18
  offer
• 21:19
  that
• 21:19
  we
• 21:19
  can
• 21:19
  make
• 21:20
  you
• 21:20
  is
• 21:20
  $500,000,
• 21:22
  which
• 21:22
  was
• 21:22
  500,000
• 21:23
  less
• 21:24
  than
• 21:24
  what
• 21:24
  Montreal
• 21:25
  was
• 21:25
  offering.
• 21:26
  And
• 21:26
  I
• 21:26
  said,
• 21:27
  Mr.
• 21:27
  Green,
• 21:27
  I
• 21:28
  said,
• 21:29
  thank
• 21:29
  you
• 21:30
  very
• 21:30
  much.
• 21:30
  I'll
• 21:31
  accept
• 21:31
  the
• 21:31
  offer.
• 21:32
  And
• 21:33
  he
• 21:33
  got
• 21:33
  quiet.
• 21:33
  I
• 21:34
  didn't
• 21:34
  really
• 21:34
  hit
• 21:34
  anything
• 21:34
  for
• 21:35
  about
• 21:35
  15
• 21:36
  seconds.
• 21:36
  And
• 21:37
  finally
• 21:37
  I
• 21:37
  said,
• 21:37
  hello.
• 21:38
  And
• 21:38
  he
• 21:38
  said,
• 21:38
  I'm
• 21:38
  here.
• 21:39
  And
• 21:40
  I
• 21:40
  called
• 21:40
  you
• 21:40
  back
• 21:41
  in
• 21:41
  about
• 21:41
  an
• 21:41
  hour.
• 21:42
  I
• 21:42
  know
• 21:42
  at
• 21:43
  that
• 21:43
  point,
• 21:43
  you
• 21:43
  know,
• 21:44
  he
• 21:44
  probably
• 21:44
  had
• 21:45
  to
• 21:45
  clear
• 21:45
  it
• 21:46
  with
• 21:46
  the
• 21:46
  commissioner's
• 21:47
  office
• 21:47
  because
• 21:48
  he
• 21:48
  wasn't
• 21:49
  supposed
• 21:49
  to
• 21:49
  make
• 21:50
  me
• 21:50
  an
• 21:50
  offer.
• 21:51
  And
• 21:52
  sure
• 21:52
  enough,
• 21:53
  he
• 21:53
  did
• 21:53
  call
• 21:53
  me
• 21:53
  back
• 21:54
  and
• 21:54
  he
• 21:54
  said,
• 21:55
  welcome
• 21:56
  aboard.
• 21:56
  We're
• 21:56
  glad
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  have
• 21:57
  you.
• 21:57
  I
• 21:57
  know
• 21:57
  you
• 21:57
  was
• 21:58
  just
• 21:58
  here
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  take
• 21:59
  your
• 21:59
  time
• 22:00
  and
• 22:00
  get
• 22:00
  back
• 22:00
  out,
• 22:00
  but
• 22:00
  spring
• 22:01
  training
• 22:02
  had
• 22:02
  already
• 22:03
  started,
• 22:03
  I
• 22:03
  should
• 22:03
  say,
• 22:04
  and
• 22:05
  I
• 22:05
  was
• 22:05
  on
• 22:05
  my
• 22:05
  way
• 22:05
  back
• 22:06
  out
• 22:06
  the
• 22:06
  next
• 22:07
  day.
• 22:08
  Nice.
• 22:09
  Yeah.
• 22:09
  And
• 22:10
  the
• 22:10
  rest,
• 22:10
  they
• 22:10
  say,
• 22:11
  is
• 22:11
  history.
• 22:11
  Dallas
• 22:12
  Green
• 22:13
  gave
• 22:14
  you
• 22:14
  the
• 22:14
  contract
• 22:14
  and
• 22:15
  you
• 22:15
  went
• 22:15
  on
• 22:15
  to
• 22:16
  have.
• 22:16
  Have
• 22:16
  great,
• 22:17
  great
• 22:17
  days
• 22:18
  for
• 22:18
  the
• 22:18
  Chicago
• 22:19
  Cubs.
• 22:19
  The
• 22:19
  fan
• 22:19
  base,
• 22:20
  as
• 22:20
  you
• 22:20
  say,
• 22:20
  really
• 22:21
  took
• 22:21
  to
• 22:21
  you.
• 22:21
  The
• 22:22
  bleacher
• 22:22
  bums
• 22:22
  out
• 22:22
  in
• 22:23
  the
• 22:23
  outfield
• 22:24
  and
• 22:25
  great
• 22:25
  days
• 22:26
  at
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  Friendly
• 22:27
  Confines.
• 22:27
  Now,
• 22:28
  you
• 22:29
  are
• 22:29
  one
• 22:29
  of
• 22:29
  only
• 22:29
  eight
• 22:30
  players,
• 22:30
  Andre,
• 22:31
  Andre
• 22:31
  Dawson
• 22:32
  with
• 22:32
  us
• 22:32
  tonight
• 22:33
  to
• 22:33
  record
• 22:34
  300
• 22:34
  homers,
• 22:35
  300
• 22:35
  stolen
• 22:36
  bases.
• 22:38
  One
• 22:38
  of
• 22:38
  the
• 22:38
  other
• 22:39
  players
• 22:39
  to
• 22:39
  do
• 22:39
  that
• 22:40
  is
• 22:40
  Carlos
• 22:41
  Beltran.
• 22:42
  Now,
• 22:43
  There
• 22:43
  are
• 22:43
  only
• 22:44
  five
• 22:44
  members
• 22:44
  of
• 22:45
  the
• 22:45
  400
• 22:45
  Homer,
• 22:46
  300
• 22:47
  stolen
• 22:47
  base
• 22:48
  club.
• 22:48
  One
• 22:49
  of
• 22:49
  those
• 22:49
  is
• 22:49
  Carlos
• 22:50
  Beltran.
• 22:51
  Now,
• 22:51
  we
• 22:52
  have
• 22:52
  an
• 22:52
  interest
• 22:52
  in
• 22:53
  him,
• 22:53
  Andre,
• 22:53
  because
• 22:54
  he
• 22:54
  played
• 22:54
  for
• 22:54
  the
• 22:55
  Mets
• 22:55
  and
• 22:55
  he
• 22:55
  probably
• 22:56
  would
• 22:56
  go
• 22:56
  into
• 22:56
  the
• 22:57
  hall
• 22:57
  if
• 22:57
  elected
• 22:58
  as
• 22:58
  a
• 22:59
  New
• 22:59
  York
• 22:59
  Met.
• 23:00
  And
• 23:01
  I
• 23:01
  don't
• 23:01
  know
• 23:01
  how
• 23:01
  you
• 23:01
  feel
• 23:02
  about
• 23:02
  his
• 23:02
  candidacy,
• 23:03
  but
• 23:04
  I'd
• 23:04
  like
• 23:04
  to
• 23:04
  ask
• 23:04
  you
• 23:05
  about
• 23:05
  the
• 23:05
  candidacy
• 23:06
  of
• 23:07
  Pete
• 23:07
  Rose
• 23:07
  or
• 23:08
  Joe
• 23:08
  Jackson.
• 23:09
  What
• 23:09
  do
• 23:10
  you
• 23:10
  think
• 23:10
  of
• 23:10
  their
• 23:11
  chances
• 23:11
  to
• 23:12
  get
• 23:12
  in
• 23:12
  the
• 23:12
  hall
• 23:13
  when
• 23:13
  their
• 23:13
  committee
• 23:14
  votes?
• 23:16
  Well,
• 23:17
  Carlos
• 23:18
  Beltran,
• 23:18
  first
• 23:19
  of
• 23:19
  all,
• 23:19
  he's
• 23:20
  definitely
• 23:20
  going
• 23:20
  to
• 23:20
  get
• 23:20
  in.
• 23:21
  And
• 23:22
  I
• 23:22
  was
• 23:22
  amazed
• 23:23
  if
• 23:23
  you
• 23:23
  Google
• 23:26
  Beltran
• 23:26
  and
• 23:26
  you
• 23:27
  look
• 23:27
  at
• 23:27
  his
• 23:27
  career
• 23:28
  numbers,
• 23:29
  I'm
• 23:29
  amazed
• 23:30
  at
• 23:30
  how
• 23:30
  close
• 23:31
  and
• 23:32
  how
• 23:32
  very
• 23:32
  similar
• 23:34
  our
• 23:34
  careers
• 23:35
  are.
• 23:36
  I
• 23:36
  mean,
• 23:36
  numbers
• 23:37
  wise,
• 23:37
  it's
• 23:38
  like
• 23:38
  almost
• 23:39
  identical.
• 23:41
  And
• 23:41
  then
• 23:41
  when
• 23:41
  you
• 23:42
  talk
• 23:42
  about
• 23:44
  Julius,
• 23:45
  Joe
• 23:45
  and
• 23:46
  Pete,
• 23:47
  it's
• 23:47
  going
• 23:47
  to
• 23:47
  be
• 23:48
  up
• 23:48
  to
• 23:48
  the
• 23:49
  committee,
• 23:49
  I
• 23:49
  think.
• 23:51
  Well,
• 23:51
  I
• 23:51
  don't
• 23:51
  really.
• 23:52
  The
• 23:52
  committee
• 23:53
  I
• 23:53
  really
• 23:54
  can't
• 23:54
  speak
• 23:55
  volumes
• 23:55
  for
• 23:57
  because,
• 23:58
  you
• 23:59
  know,
• 23:59
  they're
• 24:00
  kind
• 24:00
  of
• 24:00
  all
• 24:00
  over
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  place.
• 24:01
  And
• 24:01
  I've
• 24:02
  been
• 24:02
  a
• 24:02
  part
• 24:02
  of
• 24:02
  that.
• 24:02
  I
• 24:03
  witness
• 24:03
  it
• 24:04
  firsthand.
• 24:05
  I
• 24:05
  was
• 24:05
  a
• 24:05
  part
• 24:06
  of
• 24:06
  Marvin
• 24:06
  Miller
• 24:07
  not
• 24:08
  getting
• 24:08
  in
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  then
• 24:09
  later
• 24:09
  on
• 24:09
  getting
• 24:09
  in.
• 24:12
  So
• 24:13
  I
• 24:13
  just
• 24:13
  think
• 24:14
  that,
• 24:14
  you
• 24:14
  know,
• 24:15
  that's
• 24:15
  going
• 24:15
  to
• 24:15
  be
• 24:16
  the
• 24:16
  determinant
• 24:17
  factor,
• 24:17
  where
• 24:17
  they
• 24:17
  are
• 24:18
  when
• 24:19
  it
• 24:19
  comes
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  who
• 24:19
  they're
• 24:20
  going
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  select
• 24:20
  to
• 24:21
  be
• 24:21
  a
• 24:21
  part
• 24:21
  of
• 24:22
  that
• 24:22
  process.
• 24:23
  But
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  just
• 24:26
  feel
• 24:26
  that
• 24:28
  the
• 24:28
  hall
• 24:29
  being
• 24:30
  a
• 24:30
  museum
• 24:30
  of
• 24:31
  history
• 24:31
  and
• 24:31
  artifacts,
• 24:32
  that's
• 24:33
  in
• 24:33
  general
• 24:33
  what
• 24:34
  it
• 24:34
  is.
• 24:35
  And
• 24:35
  you
• 24:36
  know,
• 24:36
  when
• 24:36
  you
• 24:36
  talk
• 24:36
  about
• 24:36
  these
• 24:37
  individuals,
• 24:38
  they
• 24:39
  provide
• 24:39
  so
• 24:40
  much
• 24:40
  history.
• 24:41
  They
• 24:42
  do,
• 24:42
  yeah.
• 24:42
  And
• 24:43
  as
• 24:43
  you
• 24:43
  say,
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  committee
• 24:45
  will
• 24:45
  have
• 24:45
  to
• 24:46
  deal
• 24:46
  with
• 24:46
  that
• 24:46
  and
• 24:47
  give
• 24:47
  them
• 24:48
  the
• 24:48
  consideration
• 24:49
  due
• 24:50
  to
• 24:50
  them.
• 24:50
  Now,
• 24:50
  I
• 24:51
  want
• 24:51
  to
• 24:51
  talk
• 24:51
  about
• 24:51
  something
• 24:52
  quickly,
• 24:53
  Andre.
• 24:54
  One
• 24:55
  of
• 24:55
  the
• 24:55
  best
• 24:55
  signatures
• 24:56
  of
• 24:56
  any
• 24:56
  athlete
• 24:57
  you
• 24:58
  can
• 24:58
  get
• 24:58
  is
• 24:58
  Andre
• 24:59
  Dawson.
• 25:00
  So
• 25:00
  I
• 25:00
  advise
• 25:01
  you
• 25:01
  guys
• 25:01
  go
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  a
• 25:02
  card
• 25:02
  show
• 25:02
  and
• 25:03
  get
• 25:03
  him
• 25:03
  at

  signings
• 25:04
  up

  in

  going

  to

  guys

  today
• 25:11
  who
• 25:11
  don't
• 25:11
  know
• 25:12
  how
• 25:12
  to
• 25:12
  write
• 25:13
  in

  script.
• 25:15
  To
• 25:15
  what
• 25:15
  do
• 25:15
  you
• 25:16
  attribute
• 25:16
  your
• 25:17
  beautiful
• 25:17
  penmanship,
• 25:18
  Andre?
• 25:20
  Well,
• 25:21
  my
• 25:21
  aunt
• 25:21
  was
• 25:22
  my
• 25:22
  first
• 25:22
  grade
• 25:23
  teacher
• 25:24
  and
• 25:24
  what
• 25:25
  she
• 25:25
  would
• 25:25
  do
• 25:26
  is
• 25:26
  after
• 25:26
  class
• 25:27
  she
• 25:27
  would
• 25:27
  make
• 25:28
  me
• 25:29
  stay
• 25:29
  behind
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  write
• 25:30
  on
• 25:30
  the
• 25:30
  chalkboard.
• 25:31
  And
• 25:32
  I
• 25:32
  thought
• 25:33
  it
• 25:33
  was
• 25:33
  some
• 25:34
  sort
• 25:34
  of
• 25:34
  form
• 25:34
  of
• 25:34
  punishment.
• 25:35
  All
• 25:35
  of
• 25:35
  the
• 25:35
  other
• 25:36
  kids
• 25:37
  were
• 25:37
  gone
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  I
• 25:38
  wanted
• 25:38
  to
• 25:38
  go
• 25:39
  home,
• 25:40
  but
• 25:40
  she
• 25:41
  kept
• 25:42
  me
• 25:42
  behind.
• 25:42
  She
• 25:42
  made
• 25:43
  me
• 25:43
  write
• 25:43
  in
• 25:43
  both
• 25:44
  cursive
• 25:44
  and
• 25:45
  manuscript.
• 25:46
  And,
• 25:47
  you
• 25:48
  know,
• 25:48
  I
• 25:48
  took
• 25:48
  a
• 25:48
  lot
• 25:48
  of
• 25:48
  pride
• 25:49
  in
• 25:49
  it.
• 25:49
  I
• 25:49
  focused
• 25:50
  on
• 25:50
  it.
• 25:51
  I
• 25:51
  tried
• 25:51
  to
• 25:52
  do
• 25:52
  the
• 25:52
  best
• 25:52
  that
• 25:52
  I
• 25:52
  could
• 25:53
  just
• 25:53
  to
• 25:53
  please
• 25:53
  her
• 25:54
  so
• 25:54
  I
• 25:55
  wouldn't
• 25:55
  have
• 25:55
  to
• 25:55
  stay
• 25:55
  and
• 25:56
  do
• 25:56
  it
• 25:56
  so
• 25:56
  much.
• 25:57
  But
• 25:57
  I
• 25:58
  attribute
• 25:58
  that
• 25:59
  to
• 25:59
  her
• 25:59
  because
• 26:01
  I
• 26:01
  was
• 26:01
  inducted
• 26:02
  into
• 26:02
  the
• 26:02
  High
• 26:02
  School
• 26:03
  hall
• 26:03
  of
• 26:03
  Fame
• 26:03
  and
• 26:03
  we
• 26:03
  had
• 26:04
  to
• 26:04
  take
• 26:04
  a
• 26:04
  teacher.
• 26:05
  I
• 26:05
  had
• 26:05
  to
• 26:05
  take
• 26:05
  a
• 26:06
  teacher
• 26:06
  with
• 26:06
  me
• 26:07
  and
• 26:08
  that
• 26:08
  was
• 26:08
  a
• 26:08
  no
• 26:08
  brainer.
• 26:09
  She
• 26:09
  went
• 26:10
  in
• 26:10
  with
• 26:10
  me.
• 26:10
  But
• 26:11
  looking
• 26:11
  back
• 26:12
  at
• 26:12
  my
• 26:13
  signature,
• 26:13
  I
• 26:14
  must
• 26:14
  say
• 26:14
  I
• 26:14
  take
• 26:15
  a
• 26:15
  lot
• 26:15
  of
• 26:15
  pride
• 26:15
  in
• 26:15
  it.
• 26:16
  It's
• 26:16
  just,
• 26:17
  you
• 26:17
  know,
• 26:17
  it's
• 26:17
  just
• 26:17
  the
• 26:18
  flow.
• 26:20
  It
• 26:20
  comes
• 26:20
  out
• 26:21
  pretty
• 26:21
  natural
• 26:21
  and
• 26:22
  automatic
• 26:22
  for
• 26:22
  me.
• 26:23
  And
• 26:24
  people
• 26:24
  always
• 26:24
  and
• 26:25
  continuously
• 26:25
  tell
• 26:26
  me,
• 26:26
  you
• 26:26
  know,
• 26:26
  you
• 26:26
  have
• 26:26
  one
• 26:27
  of
• 26:27
  the
• 26:27
  best
• 26:27
  looking
• 26:28
  autographs
• 26:29
  in
• 26:29
  all
• 26:29
  the
• 26:29
  sports
• 26:30
  and
• 26:31
  do
• 26:31
  I
• 26:31
  cherish
• 26:32
  it?
• 26:32
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  Because
• 26:33
  I
• 26:33
  think
• 26:34
  the
• 26:34
  late
• 26:35
  Herman
• 26:35
  Kindlebrew
• 26:36
  said
• 26:36
  it
• 26:36
  best.
• 26:36
  He
• 26:37
  said,
• 26:38
  you
• 26:38
  know,
• 26:39
  if
• 26:39
  you're
• 26:39
  going
• 26:39
  to
• 26:39
  do
• 26:40
  it,
• 26:40
  you
• 26:40
  know,
• 26:41
  do
• 26:41
  it
• 26:41
  right,
• 26:41
  make
• 26:42
  it
• 26:42
  legible
• 26:42
  so
• 26:43
  that
• 26:43
  people
• 26:43
  can
• 26:44
  understand
• 26:45
  it
• 26:45
  and
• 26:45
  they
• 26:46
  know
• 26:46
  what
• 26:46
  it
• 26:46
  is
• 26:46
  that
• 26:47
  they're
• 26:47
  reading
• 26:47
  right.
• 26:48
  Half
• 26:49
  of
• 26:49
  these
• 26:49
  guys
• 26:49
  today,
• 26:50
  if
• 26:50
  they
• 26:50
  didn't
• 26:50
  put
• 26:50
  their
• 26:50
  number,
• 26:51
  Andre,
• 26:51
  you
• 26:51
  wouldn't
• 26:52
  know
• 26:52
  who
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  heck
• 26:52
  it
• 26:52
  was.
• 26:54
  And
• 26:55
  everybody
• 26:56
  gets
• 26:56
  a
• 26:56
  good
• 26:56
  one.
• 26:56
  With
• 26:57
  you,
• 26:57
  it's
• 26:57
  like
• 26:57
  Mickey
• 26:57
  Mantle.
• 26:58
  I
• 26:58
  keep
• 26:59
  bringing
• 26:59
  up
• 27:00
  Mantle,
• 27:00
  but
• 27:00
  he
• 27:00
  said
• 27:01
  at
• 27:01
  one
• 27:01
  time,
• 27:02
  Andre,
• 27:02
  they're
• 27:03
  paying
• 27:03
  enough
• 27:03
  for
• 27:04
  my
• 27:04
  signature.
• 27:05
  It
• 27:06
  doesn't
• 27:06
  cost
• 27:06
  me
• 27:07
  much
• 27:07
  to
• 27:07
  give.
• 27:07
  Him
• 27:07
  a
• 27:08
  good
• 27:08
  one.
• 27:09
  So
• 27:09
  that's
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  way
• 27:10
  the
• 27:10
  vic
• 27:10
  looked
• 27:10
  at
• 27:11
  it.
• 27:11
  So
• 27:12
  I
• 27:12
  agree
• 27:12
  with
• 27:12
  that.
• 27:13
  What's
• 27:13
  keeping
• 27:13
  you
• 27:13
  busy
• 27:14
  these
• 27:14
  days,
• 27:14
  Andre?
• 27:16
  Well,
• 27:16
  I
• 27:17
  did
• 27:18
  a
• 27:19
  lot
• 27:19
  for
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  Cubs,
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  should
• 27:20
  say.
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  work
• 27:21
  for
• 27:21
  the
• 27:21
  Cubs
• 27:22
  at
• 27:22
  this
• 27:22
  particular
• 27:23
  point
• 27:23
  in
• 27:23
  time
• 27:24
  and
• 27:25
  I
• 27:26
  back
• 27:27
  and
• 27:27
  forth
• 27:27
  to
• 27:27
  Chicago.
• 27:28
  My
• 27:28
  home
• 27:28
  is
• 27:28
  in
• 27:30
  Miami,
• 27:30
  Florida.
• 27:31
  I
• 27:31
  didn't
• 27:31
  really
• 27:31
  have
• 27:31
  to
• 27:32
  relocate
• 27:33
  and
• 27:34
  I'm
• 27:34
  a
• 27:34
  funeral
• 27:34
  home
• 27:35
  owner.
• 27:35
  I
• 27:35
  have
• 27:36
  a
• 27:36
  business
• 27:36
  here
• 27:37
  in
• 27:37
  South
• 27:38
  Florida,
• 27:38
  so
• 27:39
  that
• 27:39
  keeps
• 27:39
  me
• 27:41
  pretty
• 27:41
  busy
• 27:42
  also.
• 27:43
  And
• 27:44
  other
• 27:44
  than
• 27:44
  that,
• 27:45
  just,
• 27:45
  you
• 27:45
  know,
• 27:45
  trying
• 27:46
  to
• 27:47
  enjoy,
• 27:48
  I
• 27:48
  don't
• 27:48
  think
• 27:48
  they're
• 27:49
  with
• 27:49
  such
• 27:49
  a
• 27:50
  thing
• 27:50
  as
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  golden
• 27:50
  years,
• 27:51
  but
• 27:51
  just
• 27:52
  trying
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  enjoy
• 27:53
  day
• 27:53
  to
• 27:53
  day
• 27:53
  lifestyle
• 27:54
  living.
• 27:54
  That's
• 27:55
  the
• 27:55
  way
• 27:55
  to
• 27:55
  do
• 27:55
  it.
• 27:55
  Andre,
• 27:56
  who
• 27:56
  do
• 27:56
  you
• 27:56
  like
• 27:57
  in
• 27:57
  the
• 27:57
  playoffs?
• 28:00
  Well,
• 28:00
  the
• 28:01
  Dodgers
• 28:02
  probably
• 28:02
  will
• 28:03
  have
• 28:03
  to
• 28:03
  be
• 28:03
  dethroned.
• 28:06
  You
• 28:06
  know,
• 28:07
  if
• 28:07
  anybody,
• 28:08
  anybody
• 28:08
  can
• 28:09
  do
• 28:09
  it.
• 28:10
  You
• 28:11
  know,
• 28:11
  I
• 28:11
  don't
• 28:11
  really
• 28:12
  know
• 28:13
  the
• 28:13
  teams
• 28:14
  in
• 28:14
  the
• 28:14
  American
• 28:14
  League
• 28:15
  that
• 28:15
  well,
• 28:18
  but
• 28:21
  I
• 28:21
  think
• 28:21
  Toronto
• 28:24
  wins
• 28:24
  the
• 28:24
  American
• 28:25
  League
• 28:25
  and
• 28:27
  Milwaukee
• 28:28
  is
• 28:28
  feisty.
• 28:30
  You
• 28:30
  know,
• 28:32
  you
• 28:32
  gotta
• 28:33
  be
• 28:33
  careful
• 28:33
  with
• 28:33
  them
• 28:34
  because
• 28:34
  they
• 28:34
  don't
• 28:35
  beat
• 28:35
  themselves.
• 28:36
  They're
• 28:37
  grinding
• 28:38
  out.
• 28:38
  The
• 28:39
  one
• 28:39
  question
• 28:39
  I
• 28:39
  have
• 28:40
  is
• 28:40
  how
• 28:40
  are
• 28:41
  they
• 28:41
  starting
• 28:41
  pitching
• 28:43
  going
• 28:44
  to
• 28:44
  play
• 28:45
  what
• 28:45
  role
• 28:46
  a
• 28:46
  part
• 28:46
  is
• 28:46
  going
• 28:46
  to
• 28:47
  play
• 28:47
  in
• 28:47
  the
• 28:47
  series?
• 28:47
  Because
• 28:48
  the
• 28:49
  Dodgers,
• 28:49
  they're
• 28:49
  loaded.
• 28:50
  They
• 28:50
  can
• 28:50
  throw
• 28:51
  four
• 28:51
  different
• 28:51
  starters
• 28:52
  at
• 28:52
  you.
• 28:53
  Everybody's
• 28:54
  healthy
• 28:54
  for
• 28:55
  the
• 28:55
  most
• 28:55
  part.
• 28:56
  And
• 28:57
  I
• 28:57
  just
• 28:57
  feel
• 28:58
  that,
• 28:58
  you
• 28:58
  know,
• 28:58
  you
• 28:59
  get
• 28:59
  back
• 28:59
  there,
• 28:59
  you
• 29:00
  get
• 29:00
  to
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  point,
• 29:00
  you're
• 29:01
  the
• 29:01
  reigning
• 29:02
  world
• 29:02
  champions.
• 29:04
  Every
• 29:05
  team
• 29:05
  got
• 29:05
  to
• 29:05
  play
• 29:06
  just
• 29:06
  about,
• 29:06
  you
• 29:07
  know,
• 29:07
  as
• 29:07
  perfect
• 29:08
  as
• 29:08
  they
• 29:08
  can
• 29:08
  if
• 29:09
  they're
• 29:09
  going
• 29:09
  to
• 29:09
  determine
• 29:10
  you.
• 29:10
  Right.
• 29:11
  So
• 29:12
  I'm,
• 29:12
  I'm,
• 29:13
  I'm
• 29:14
  pulling
• 29:14
  for
• 29:15
  Christian
• 29:15
  Yellick.
• 29:16
  I
• 29:16
  had
• 29:16
  him
• 29:17
  when,
• 29:17
  you
• 29:17
  know,
• 29:17
  he
• 29:17
  was
• 29:18
  here
• 29:18
  with
• 29:18
  the,
• 29:19
  with
• 29:19
  the
• 29:19
  Florida
• 29:19
  Marlins
• 29:20
  when
• 29:20
  I
• 29:20
  was
• 29:20
  working
• 29:21
  for
• 29:21
  them.
• 29:22
  I'm
• 29:22
  hoping
• 29:23
  that,
• 29:23
  you
• 29:23
  know,
• 29:23
  he
• 29:23
  has
• 29:25
  a
• 29:25
  good
• 29:25
  series
• 29:26
  going
• 29:26
  forward,
• 29:27
  but
• 29:27
  I
• 29:27
  think
• 29:27
  the
• 29:27
  Dodgers
• 29:28
  will
• 29:28
  be
• 29:28
  tough
• 29:29
  and
• 29:29
  it'll
• 29:29
  be
• 29:29
  tough
• 29:30
  to
• 29:30
  dethrone
• 29:30
  them.
• 29:31
  Yeah,
• 29:31
  I
• 29:31
  agree
• 29:31
  with
• 29:32
  you,
• 29:32
  Andre.
• 29:33
  And
• 29:33
  we'll
• 29:34

  It's

• 29:37
  an
• 29:38
  honor
• 29:38
  and

  news

  for

  you,

  This

  The

• 31:34
  Yes,

  yes.
• 31:35
  It's
• 31:36
  hard
• 31:36
  to
• 31:36
  believe,
• 31:37
  but
• 31:37
  they
• 31:38
  played
• 31:38
  over
• 31:38
  in

  Tottenham

  Hotspur

  London.
• 31:42
  They're
• 31:42
  now
• 31:43
  06,
• 31:44
  and
• 31:45
  it
• 31:45
  seems
• 31:45
  to
• 31:46
  me
• 31:46
  they've
• 31:46
  played
• 31:46
  consistently
• 31:48
  well
• 31:48
  enough
• 31:49
  to
• 31:49
  lose
• 31:49
  every
• 31:49
  week.
• 31:50
  Now,
• 31:50
  whatever
• 31:51
  you
• 31:51
  want
• 31:51
  to
• 31:52
  take
• 31:52
  that
• 31:52
  as
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  grain
• 31:53
  of
• 31:53
  salt,
• 31:54
  the
• 31:54
  franchise
• 31:55
  is
• 31:55
  just
• 31:55
  a
• 31:55
  disaster.
• 31:57
  At
• 31:58
  least
• 31:58
  the
• 31:58
  Titanic
• 31:59
  had
• 31:59
  a
• 31:59
  band,
• 32:00
  right,
• 32:00
  Brian,
• 32:01
  when
• 32:01
  they
• 32:01
  went
• 32:02
  down.
• 32:02
  So
• 32:02
  that's
• 32:03
  all
• 32:03
  I'm
• 32:03
  going
• 32:03
  to
• 32:03
  say.
• 32:04
  We're
• 32:04

• 32:12
  It's
• 32:12
  one
• 32:13
  nothing
• 32:14
  Seattle.
• 32:15
  I
• 32:15
  think
• 32:16
  my
• 32:16
  wife
• 32:16
  just
• 32:17
  texted
• 32:17
  me,
• 32:17
  but
• 32:17
  I
• 32:18
  lost
• 32:18
  it.
• 32:20
  North

  It's

  so
• 32:24
  nice
• 32:25
  now
• 32:25
  to
• 32:26
  have
• 32:26
  the
• 32:26

• 32:26
  I
• 32:27
  don't
• 32:27
  like
• 32:27
  and
• 32:28
  would
• 32:28
  not
• 32:28
  want

  So

  I
• 32:32
  can
• 32:32
  just
• 32:32
  relax
• 32:33
  and

• 33:31
  can
• 33:31
  be
• 33:31
  and
• 33:31
  be
• 33:32
  the
• 33:32
  best
• 33:32
  teammate
• 33:32
  that
• 33:33
  you
• 33:33
  can
• 33:33
  be
• 33:34
  is
• 33:34
  always
• 33:34
  important.
• 33:36
  Chemistry
• 33:36
  is
• 33:38
  probably
• 33:38
  one
• 33:39
  of
• 33:39
  the
• 33:39
  biggest
• 33:39
  things
• 33:41
  when
• 33:41
  you
• 33:41
  add
• 33:41
  it
• 33:42
  to
• 33:42
  Talent
• 33:42
  chemistry
• 33:43
  will
• 33:43
  take
• 33:43
  you
• 33:44
  a
• 33:44
  long
• 33:44
  ways.
• 33:44
  So
• 33:45
  players
• 33:45
  have
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  really
• 33:46
  get
• 33:47
  together,
• 33:48
  be
• 33:48
  involved
• 33:49
  with
• 33:49
  each
• 33:49
  other,
• 33:49
  do
• 33:50
  things
• 33:50
  together.
• 33:50
  You
• 33:51
  can't
• 33:51
  just
• 33:53
  put
• 33:53
  a
• 33:53
  team
• 33:53
  on
• 33:53
  a
• 33:54
  field
• 33:54
  that
• 33:54
  you
• 33:54
  think
• 33:54
  on
• 33:55
  paper
• 33:55
  is
• 33:55
  the
• 33:56
  best
• 33:56
  team.
• 33:56
  Chemistry
• 33:57
  means
• 33:57
  a
• 33:57
  lot.
• 33:58
  It
• 33:58
  certainly
• 33:58
  does.
• 33:58
  You're
• 33:59
  right
• 33:59
  there,
• 33:59
  Wally.
• 34:00
  Now,
• 34:00
  are
• 34:00
  there
• 34:01
  any
• 34:01
  coaches
• 34:02
  who
• 34:02
  worked
• 34:03
  with
• 34:03
  you
• 34:03
  along
• 34:04
  the
• 34:04
  way
• 34:05
  through
• 34:05
  the
• 34:05
  minors,
• 34:06
  maybe,
• 34:06
  who
• 34:07
  really
• 34:07
  helped
• 34:08
  improve
• 34:08
  your
• 34:08
  game
• 34:10
  on
• 34:10
  the
• 34:10
  road
• 34:10
  to
• 34:10
  the
• 34:11
  bigs?
• 34:13
  Bobby
• 34:13
  Valentine,
• 34:14
  Buddy
• 34:14
  Harrelson,
• 34:15
  Davey
• 34:16
  Johnson,
• 34:16
  Lou
• 34:17
  Pinella,
• 34:18
  Joe
• 34:18
  Torrey.
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  mean,
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  played
• 34:20
  for
• 34:20
  some
• 34:20
  of
• 34:20
  the
• 34:20
  greatest
• 34:21
  managers
• 34:21
  in
• 34:21
  baseball,
• 34:22
  so
• 34:24
  to
• 34:24
  say
• 34:24
  that
• 34:25
  I
• 34:25
  took
• 34:25
  a
• 34:25
  piece
• 34:26
  and
• 34:26
  a
• 34:26
  part
• 34:27
  of
• 34:27
  each
• 34:28
  one
• 34:28
  of
• 34:28
  them,
• 34:28
  I
• 34:29
  listened.
• 34:29
  And
• 34:31
  that's
• 34:31
  what
• 34:32
  players.
• 34:33
  I
• 34:33
  don't
• 34:33
  know
• 34:33
  if
• 34:33
  they
• 34:34
  don't
• 34:34
  do
• 34:34
  that
• 34:34
  today.
• 34:37
  I
• 34:37
  suspect
• 34:37
  that
• 34:38
  they
• 34:38
  don't
• 34:38
  do
• 34:38
  it
• 34:38
  as
• 34:39
  much
• 34:39
  as
• 34:39
  we
• 34:39
  did
• 34:40
  it.
• 34:41
  But
• 34:41
  there's
• 34:41
  always
• 34:42
  good
• 34:42
  things
• 34:42
  that
• 34:43
  come
• 34:43
  from
• 34:43
  those
• 34:43
  guys.
• 34:45
  They're
• 34:45
  always.
• 34:46
  Everybody's
• 34:46
  trying
• 34:46
  to
• 34:47
  help
• 34:47
  you,
• 34:48
  so
• 34:48
  you
• 34:49
  take
• 34:49
  it
• 34:49
  with
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  grain
• 34:49
  of
• 34:50
  salt,
• 34:50
  and
• 34:50
  if
• 34:50
  it
• 34:50
  helps
• 34:51
  you,
• 34:51
  you
• 34:51
  use
• 34:52
  it
• 34:52
  and
• 34:52
  it
• 34:52
  makes
• 34:52
  you
• 34:52
  a
• 34:52
  better
• 34:53
  player.
• 34:53
  And,
• 34:54
  you
• 34:54
  know,
• 34:54
  the
• 34:54
  all.
• 34:55
  All
• 34:55
  those
• 34:55
  managers
• 34:56
  that
• 34:56
  I
• 34:56
  just
• 34:57
  met,
• 34:58
  and
• 34:58
  I
• 34:58
  don't
• 34:59
  even
• 34:59
  think
• 34:59
  I
• 34:59
  said
• 34:59
  Jim
• 35:00
  Leland.
• 35:00
  Those
• 35:00
  guys
• 35:01
  were
• 35:01
  all
• 35:01
  winners.
• 35:02
  Yeah.
• 35:02
  And
• 35:03
  they
• 35:03
  knew
• 35:03
  how
• 35:03
  to
• 35:03
  win,
• 35:04
  and
• 35:04
  they
• 35:04
  knew
• 35:05
  what
• 35:05
  chemistry
• 35:05
  was
• 35:06
  all
• 35:06
  about.
• 35:07
  And
• 35:07
  you
• 35:08
  still
• 35:08
  have
• 35:08
  to
• 35:09
  have
• 35:09
  the
• 35:09
  product
• 35:09
  that
• 35:09
  you
• 35:10
  put
• 35:10
  on
• 35:10
  a
• 35:10
  field
• 35:11
  that
• 35:12
  can
• 35:12
  win.
• 35:12
  But
• 35:13
  the
• 35:13
  chemistry,
• 35:14
  bar
• 35:15
  none,
• 35:15
  goes
• 35:16
  farther
• 35:16
  than
• 35:16
  anybody
• 35:17
  can
• 35:17
  imagine.
• 35:18
  Some
• 35:19
  great
• 35:19
  names
• 35:19
  you
• 35:19
  mentioned
• 35:20
  there,
• 35:20
  Wally.
• 35:21
  One
• 35:21
  of
• 35:21
  them,
• 35:21
  of
• 35:21
  course,
• 35:22
  the
• 35:22
  late
• 35:22
  Davy
• 35:23
  Johnson,
• 35:23
  who
• 35:23
  we
• 35:24
  lost
• 35:24
  a
• 35:24
  few
• 35:24
  weeks
• 35:25
  ago.
• 35:26
  Tremendous
• 35:27
  manager
• 35:27
  for
• 35:27
  the
• 35:27
  New
• 35:28
  York
• 35:28
  Mets.
• 35:28
  But
• 35:28
  when
• 35:29
  he
• 35:29
  came
• 35:29
  to
• 35:29
  Tidewater,
• 35:30
  that
• 35:31
  was
• 35:31
  really
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  big
• 35:31
  plus
• 35:32
  for
• 35:32
  you.
• 35:33
  Oh,
• 35:33
  Davey
• 35:34
  was
• 35:34
  huge
• 35:34
  for
• 35:34
  me.
• 35:34
  You
• 35:35
  know,
• 35:35
  it
• 35:35
  was.
• 35:36
  I
• 35:36
  wasn't
• 35:36
  able
• 35:36
  to
• 35:37
  go
• 35:37
  back
• 35:37
  to
• 35:37
  Florida
• 35:38
  to
• 35:38
  see
• 35:39
  him
• 35:39
  because
• 35:39
  I
• 35:39
  had
• 35:39
  a
• 35:40
  terrible
• 35:41
  kidney
• 35:41
  stone.
• 35:42
  I
• 35:42
  was
• 35:42
  in
• 35:42
  the
• 35:42
  hospital
• 35:43
  because
• 35:43
  it
• 35:43
  was
• 35:43
  so
• 35:43
  big.
• 35:44
  So.
• 35:44
  But
• 35:44
  anyway,
• 35:45
  I'm
• 35:45
  fine.
• 35:46
  But
• 35:46
  no,
• 35:46
  he
• 35:46
  was
• 35:48
  a
• 35:48
  great,
• 35:49
  great
• 35:49
  manager.
• 35:50
  A
• 35:51
  person
• 35:51
  who
• 35:51
  knew
• 35:51
  everything
• 35:52
  about
• 35:52
  chemistry.
• 35:53
  You
• 35:54
  know,
• 35:54
  David
• 35:54
  was
• 35:54
  one
• 35:55
  of
• 35:55
  the
• 35:55
  first
• 35:55
  guys
• 35:56
  that
• 35:57
  really
• 35:57
  used
• 35:57
  the
• 35:57
  computer.
• 35:58
  Right.
• 35:59
  For
• 35:59
  saber
• 36:00
  metrics.
• 36:00
  And,
• 36:01
  you
• 36:01
  know,
• 36:01
  a
• 36:02
  lot
• 36:02
  of
• 36:02
  people
• 36:02
  said,
• 36:02
  I
• 36:02
  never.
• 36:03
  I
• 36:03
  was
• 36:04
  totally
• 36:04
  against
• 36:04
  it.
• 36:04
  I
• 36:05
  was
• 36:05
  totally
• 36:05
  for
• 36:05
  it.
• 36:05
  But
• 36:06
  it's
• 36:07
  what
• 36:07
  it
• 36:07
  is
• 36:07
  today,
• 36:08
  you
• 36:08
  know?
• 36:08
  But
• 36:09
  great
• 36:10
  manager,
• 36:11
  knew
• 36:11
  his
• 36:11
  players,
• 36:12
  knew
• 36:13
  the
• 36:13
  opponents
• 36:13
  as
• 36:14
  well
• 36:14
  as
• 36:14
  anybody,
• 36:15
  and
• 36:15
  knew
• 36:16
  how
• 36:16
  to
• 36:16
  manage
• 36:16
  to
• 36:17
  beat
• 36:18
  those
• 36:18
  opponents.
• 36:19
  He
• 36:19
  really
• 36:19
  knew
• 36:20
  how
• 36:20
  to
• 36:20
  put
• 36:20
  people
• 36:21
  in
• 36:21
  positions
• 36:22
  to
• 36:22
  succeed
• 36:22
  and
• 36:23
  not
• 36:23
  fail.
• 36:23
  So
• 36:25
  we
• 36:25
  all
• 36:25
  know
• 36:25
  baseball's
• 36:26
  a
• 36:26
  big
• 36:26
  failure.
• 36:27
  You
• 36:27
  know,
• 36:27
  three
• 36:27
  for
• 36:27
  10
• 36:28
  is.300,
• 36:28
  and
• 36:29
  that's
• 36:29
  a
• 36:29
  great
• 36:29
  batting
• 36:30
  average
• 36:30
  today.
• 36:31
  It's
• 36:31
  unheard
• 36:31
  of,
• 36:32
  but
• 36:33
  he
• 36:33
  knew
• 36:33
  how
• 36:33
  to
• 36:34
  put
• 36:34
  guys
• 36:34
  in
• 36:34
  a
• 36:34
  position
• 36:35
  to
• 36:36
  succeed.
• 36:36
  Great
• 36:37
  way
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  put
• 36:37
  it,
• 36:37
  Wally.
• 36:38
  Yes,
• 36:38
  that
• 36:39
  is
• 36:39
  for
• 36:39
  sure.
• 36:40
  Great
• 36:41
  second
• 36:41
  baseman.
• 36:42
  He
• 36:42
  helped
• 36:42
  you
• 36:42
  with
• 36:42
  your
• 36:43
  defense.
• 36:44
  Now,
• 36:44
  I
• 36:44
  want
• 36:44
  to
• 36:45
  go
• 36:46
  divert
• 36:46
  a
• 36:46
  little
• 36:47
  bit
• 36:47
  here,
• 36:47
  Wally,
• 36:47
  and
• 36:47
  ask
• 36:48
  you
• 36:48
  about.
• 36:48
  I
• 36:49
  just
• 36:49
  spoke
• 36:49
  to
• 36:49
  Andre
• 36:50
  Dawson
• 36:50
  about
• 36:50
  this.
• 36:51
  The
• 36:52
  idea
• 36:52
  of
• 36:52
  sportsmanship
• 36:54
  in
• 36:54
  Major
• 36:54
  League
• 36:55
  Baseball
• 36:55
  today
• 36:56
  seems
• 36:56
  going
• 36:56
  right
• 36:57
  out
• 36:57
  the
• 36:57
  window.
• 36:57
  I
• 36:58
  mean,
• 36:58
  you
• 36:58
  have
• 37:00
  Vladimir
• 37:00
  Guerrero
• 37:02
  saying
• 37:02
  the
• 37:02
  Yankees
• 37:03
  lose
• 37:04
  after
• 37:05
  they
• 37:05
  beat
• 37:05
  the
• 37:06
  Yankees.
• 37:07
  The
• 37:07
  Blue
• 37:07
  Jays
• 37:08
  singing
• 37:08
  New
• 37:08
  York,
• 37:08
  New
• 37:09
  York
• 37:09
  in
• 37:09
  the
• 37:09
  clubhouse
• 37:10
  to
• 37:10
  give
• 37:10
  the
• 37:10
  Yankees
• 37:11
  a
• 37:11
  little
• 37:12
  poke
• 37:12
  in
• 37:13
  the
• 37:13
  ribs.
• 37:13
  You
• 37:14
  had
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  brewers
• 37:16
  flying
• 37:16
  the
• 37:16
  L
• 37:17
  flag
• 37:17
  after
• 37:17
  beating
• 37:18
  the
• 37:18
  Cubs.
• 37:19
  I
• 37:19
  mean,
• 37:19
  these
• 37:19
  guys
• 37:20
  get
• 37:20
  a
• 37:20
  base
• 37:21
  hit
• 37:21
  and
• 37:21
  they're
• 37:22
  acting
• 37:22
  like
• 37:23
  they
• 37:23
  just
• 37:24
  won
• 37:24
  the
• 37:24
  lottery.
• 37:25
  They're
• 37:25
  making
• 37:25
  all
• 37:25
  kinds
• 37:26
  of
• 37:26
  motions
• 37:26
  and
• 37:27
  stuff
• 37:27
  like
• 37:27
  that.
• 37:28
  And
• 37:28
  I
• 37:29
  think
• 37:29
  taunting
• 37:29
  guys
• 37:30
  right
• 37:30
  on
• 37:30
  the
• 37:30
  field
• 37:32
  can't
• 37:32
  be
• 37:32
  far
• 37:33
  away.
• 37:33
  What
• 37:34
  do
• 37:34
  you
• 37:34
  think
• 37:34
  of
• 37:34
  this
• 37:35
  stuff
• 37:35
  going
• 37:35
  on,
• 37:36
  Bill?
• 37:37
  I
• 37:37
  don't
• 37:37
  like
• 37:37
  it.
• 37:38
  I
• 37:38
  don't
• 37:38
  like
• 37:38
  the
• 37:38
  taunting.
• 37:39
  I
• 37:39
  like
• 37:40
  players
• 37:40
  to
• 37:41
  be
• 37:41
  players
• 37:41
  and,
• 37:43
  you
• 37:43
  know,
• 37:43
  there's
• 37:43
  always
• 37:44
  friendships.
• 37:44
  But
• 37:45
  I've
• 37:45
  always
• 37:45
  said
• 37:45
  if
• 37:45
  I
• 37:46
  was
• 37:46
  playing
• 37:46
  against
• 37:46
  my
• 37:47
  brother
• 37:48
  in
• 37:48
  a
• 37:48
  World
• 37:48
  Series
• 37:49
  and
• 37:49
  he
• 37:49
  was
• 37:49
  playing
• 37:49
  second
• 37:50
  base,
• 37:50
  I'd
• 37:50
  try
• 37:50
  to
• 37:51
  take
• 37:51
  him
• 37:51
  out
• 37:51
  as
• 37:51
  hard
• 37:51
  as
• 37:52
  I
• 37:52
  could.
• 37:53
  And
• 37:53
  that's
• 37:54
  just
• 37:54
  the
• 37:54
  way
• 37:54
  the
• 37:54
  game
• 37:55
  is
• 37:55
  supposed
• 37:55
  to
• 37:55
  be
• 37:56
  played.
• 37:56
  The
• 37:56
  game
• 37:56
  has
• 37:57
  changed.
• 37:57
  You
• 37:57
  can't,
• 37:58
  you
• 37:58
  know,
• 37:59
  there's
• 37:59
  no
• 37:59
  contact
• 38:00
  anymore,
• 38:02
  you
• 38:02
  know,
• 38:02
  with
• 38:02
  the
• 38:02
  catchers
• 38:03
  and
• 38:04
  things
• 38:04
  like
• 38:04
  that.
• 38:05
  So.
• 38:05
  And
• 38:05
  I
• 38:06
  understand
• 38:06
  that
• 38:07
  the
• 38:07
  money
• 38:07
  is
• 38:08
  big,
• 38:08
  and
• 38:09
  so
• 38:11
  it's
• 38:11
  important
• 38:12
  that
• 38:13
  players
• 38:13
  can
• 38:13
  stay
• 38:14
  on
• 38:14
  the
• 38:14
  field
• 38:14
  as
• 38:14
  long
• 38:14
  as
• 38:15
  they
• 38:15
  can.
• 38:15
  But
• 38:15
  you
• 38:16
  know
• 38:16
  what?
• 38:16
  I
• 38:16
  think
• 38:16
  that
• 38:17
  the
• 38:17
  way
• 38:17
  the
• 38:18
  game
• 38:18
  was
• 38:18
  before,
• 38:18
  I
• 38:19
  think
• 38:19
  players
• 38:19
  stayed
• 38:19
  on
• 38:20
  the
• 38:20
  field
• 38:20
  more
• 38:20
  than
• 38:20
  they
• 38:20
  do
• 38:21
  today.
• 38:22
  Yeah,
• 38:24
  Yeah,
• 38:24
  I
• 38:24
  agree
• 38:24
  with
• 38:24
  you.
• 38:26
  One
• 38:26
  thing
• 38:26
  that
• 38:27
  comes
• 38:27
  to
• 38:27
  mind,
• 38:27
  Wally,
• 38:28
  when
• 38:28
  you
• 38:28
  were
• 38:28
  talking
• 38:29
  about
• 38:29
  knocking
• 38:29
  your
• 38:29
  brother
• 38:30
  down,
• 38:31
  I
• 38:31
  think
• 38:31
  it
• 38:31
  was
• 38:31
  Leo
• 38:32
  Durocher
• 38:32
  who
• 38:33
  said
• 38:33
  if
• 38:33
  his
• 38:33
  mother
• 38:33
  came
• 38:34
  into
• 38:34
  third,
• 38:35
  he'd
• 38:35
  knock
• 38:36
  her
• 38:36
  down.
• 38:38
  His
• 38:38
  own
• 38:38
  mother,
• 38:38
  he
• 38:39
  said,
• 38:39
  I'd
• 38:39
  pick
• 38:39
  her
• 38:39
  up
• 38:39
  and
• 38:40
  I'd
• 38:40
  brush
• 38:40
  her
• 38:40
  off,
• 38:41
  but,
• 38:41
  mom,
• 38:41
  don't
• 38:41
  try
• 38:42
  to
• 38:42
  score.
• 38:43
  You
• 38:43
  know,
• 38:44
  I
• 38:45
  agree.
• 38:45
  I
• 38:45
  agree
• 38:46
  with
• 38:46
  him.
• 38:47
  He's
• 38:47
  absolutely
• 38:48
  100%
• 38:48
  right.
• 38:49
  Yeah.
• 38:50
  And
• 38:50
  that's
• 38:50
  the
• 38:51
  way
• 38:51
  the
• 38:51
  guys
• 38:51
  play
• 38:51
  the
• 38:52
  game
• 38:52
  now.
• 38:53
  Well,
• 38:53
  then.
• 38:54
  Now
• 38:55
  you
• 38:55
  were
• 38:55
  paired
• 38:56
  with
• 38:56
  a
• 38:56
  guy
• 38:57
  by
• 38:57
  the
• 38:57
  name
• 38:57
  of
• 38:57
  Kelvin
• 38:58
  Chapman.
• 38:58
  Only
• 38:58
  Die
• 38:59
  Hard
• 38:59
  Met
• 38:59
  fans
• 39:00
  will
• 39:00
  remember
• 39:00
  Kelvin.
• 39:01
  Then
• 39:02
  they
• 39:02
  brought
• 39:02
  in
• 39:02
  Tuffle
• 39:03
  to
• 39:04
  work
• 39:05
  at
• 39:05
  second
• 39:05
  base
• 39:05
  with
• 39:06
  you.
• 39:06
  How
• 39:06
  did
• 39:06
  that
• 39:06
  make
• 39:07
  you
• 39:07
  feel
• 39:07
  when
• 39:07
  they
• 39:07
  brought
• 39:07
  in
• 39:08
  Tim
• 39:08
  Toufle?
• 39:10
  Well,
• 39:10
  you
• 39:10
  know,
• 39:10
  Frank
• 39:11
  Cassidy,
• 39:11
  when
• 39:11
  he
• 39:12
  did
• 39:12
  that,
• 39:14
  I
• 39:14
  didn't
• 39:15
  really
• 39:15
  like
• 39:15
  it.
• 39:15
  But,
• 39:16
  you
• 39:16
  know,
• 39:16
  as
• 39:16
  I
• 39:17
  look
• 39:17
  over
• 39:17
  time,
• 39:18
  it
• 39:19
  was
• 39:19
  really
• 39:19
  good
• 39:19
  for
• 39:20
  the
• 39:20
  team.
• 39:21
  It
• 39:21
  made
• 39:22
  the
• 39:22
  team
• 39:22
  Better,
• 39:23
  you
• 39:24
  know,
• 39:24
  I
• 39:24
  mean,
• 39:24
  if
• 39:24
  you
• 39:25
  look
• 39:25
  at
• 39:26
  Tufts
• 39:27
  and
• 39:27
  my
• 39:27
  numbers
• 39:28
  combined
• 39:29
  as
• 39:29
  a
• 39:29
  second
• 39:30
  baseman,
• 39:31
  we
• 39:31
  probably
• 39:32
  had
• 39:32
  100
• 39:32
  and
• 39:32
  some
• 39:33
  RBIs.
• 39:35
  We
• 39:35
  had
• 39:35
  multiple
• 39:36
  extra
• 39:36
  base
• 39:36
  hits,
• 39:37
  you
• 39:37
  know,
• 39:37
  tough.
• 39:37
  Hit
• 39:38
  more
• 39:38
  home
• 39:38
  runs
• 39:38
  than
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  did.
• 39:39
  I
• 39:39
  didn't
• 39:39
  hit
• 39:39
  many,
• 39:39
  but,
• 39:40
  you
• 39:40
  know,
• 39:40
  you
• 39:40
  look
• 39:41
  at
• 39:41
  the
• 39:41
  stolen
• 39:41
  bases
• 39:42
  and
• 39:42
  you're
• 39:42
  looking
• 39:42
  at
• 39:43
  two
• 39:44
  guys
• 39:44
  that
• 39:44
  are
• 39:45
  playing
• 39:45
  not
• 39:46
  every
• 39:46
  day
• 39:46
  at
• 39:47
  the
• 39:47
  same
• 39:47
  time,
• 39:48
  but
• 39:49
  you're
• 39:49
  looking
• 39:49
  at
• 39:49
  two
• 39:49
  guys
• 39:50
  that,
• 39:50
  you
• 39:50
  know,
• 39:51
  and
• 39:51
  I
• 39:51
  don't
• 39:51
  know
• 39:51
  the
• 39:51
  numbers
• 39:52
  exactly.
• 39:52
  We
• 39:52
  probably
• 39:53
  stole
• 39:53
  40
• 39:53
  bases
• 39:54
  between
• 39:54
  us.
• 39:54
  I
• 39:54
  know
• 39:54
  I
• 39:55
  sold
• 39:55
  32
• 39:55
  that
• 39:55
  year
• 39:57
  when
• 39:58
  we
• 39:58
  probably
• 39:58
  hit
• 39:59
  14
• 39:59
  or
• 39:59
  15
• 40:00
  home
• 40:00
  runs
• 40:00
  and
• 40:00
  drove
• 40:01
  in
• 40:01
  close
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  100.
• 40:04
  So,
• 40:04
  you
• 40:04
  know
• 40:06
  that
• 40:06
  at
• 40:07
  that
• 40:07
  time,
• 40:07
  you
• 40:08
  know,
• 40:08
  Davey
• 40:08
  was
• 40:08
  one
• 40:09
  of
• 40:09
  the
• 40:09
  big
• 40:09
  guys
• 40:09
  that
• 40:10
  tried
• 40:10
  to
• 40:11
  platoon
• 40:12
  and
• 40:12
  get
• 40:13
  the
• 40:13
  most
• 40:13
  out
• 40:13
  of
• 40:14
  two
• 40:15
  guys
• 40:15
  in
• 40:15
  one
• 40:15
  position.
• 40:17
  And
• 40:17
  it
• 40:18
  worked.
• 40:19
  It
• 40:19
  definitely
• 40:19
  worked.
• 40:20
  I
• 40:20
  don't
• 40:20
  think
• 40:20
  Tuff
• 40:20
  was
• 40:20
  happy.
• 40:21
  I
• 40:21
  don't
• 40:21
  think
• 40:21
  I
• 40:21
  was
• 40:21
  happy.
• 40:22
  And
• 40:22
  I
• 40:22
  know
• 40:22
  I
• 40:22
  wasn't
• 40:23
  happy.
• 40:23
  I
• 40:24
  wanted
• 40:24
  to
• 40:24
  play
• 40:24
  every
• 40:24
  day.
• 40:25
  I
• 40:25
  think
• 40:25
  I
• 40:25
  played
• 40:25
  every
• 40:26
  day
• 40:26
  the
• 40:26
  year
• 40:26
  before
• 40:26
  and
• 40:27
  hit.270
• 40:27
  something,
• 40:28
  but.
• 40:29
  Which
• 40:29
  would
• 40:30
  be
• 40:30
  good
• 40:30
  today.
• 40:32
  But,
• 40:33
  you
• 40:33
  know,
• 40:34
  it
• 40:34
  worked.
• 40:34
  It
• 40:35
  made
• 40:35
  us
• 40:35
  a
• 40:35
  better
• 40:35
  team.
• 40:37
  And
• 40:37
  we
• 40:37
  bought
• 40:37
  into
• 40:38
  Davey's
• 40:38
  system
• 40:40
  about
• 40:40
  the
• 40:40
  way
• 40:40
  that
• 40:40
  we
• 40:41
  played
• 40:41
  the
• 40:41
  game.
• 40:42
  And,
• 40:42
  you
• 40:43
  know,
• 40:44
  Davey
• 40:44
  created
• 40:45
  championships,
• 40:45
  so
• 40:46
  did
• 40:46
  Frank
• 40:46
  Cassin.
• 40:46
  Frank
• 40:47
  Cassian
• 40:47
  brought
• 40:47
  in
• 40:47
  the
• 40:48
  right
• 40:48
  people
• 40:49
  and,
• 40:50
  you
• 40:50
  know,
• 40:50
  that's
• 40:51
  how
• 40:51
  we
• 40:51
  won
• 40:51
  a
• 40:51
  championship.
• 40:52
  I
• 40:52
  just
• 40:52
  wish
• 40:53
  the
• 40:54
  playoffs
• 40:54
  were
• 40:54
  the
• 40:55
  same
• 40:56
  today
• 40:57
  as
• 40:58
  they
• 40:58
  were
• 40:58
  back
• 40:58
  when
• 40:59
  we
• 40:59
  played,
• 40:59
  because
• 41:00
  everybody
• 41:01
  thought
• 41:01
  we
• 41:01
  had
• 41:02
  a
• 41:02
  dynasty.
• 41:02
  And
• 41:03
  we
• 41:03
  really
• 41:03
  did.
• 41:04
  You
• 41:04
  know,
• 41:04
  I
• 41:05
  remember
• 41:05
  we
• 41:06
  won
• 41:06
  90
• 41:06
  some
• 41:06
  games,
• 41:07
  99
• 41:07
  games
• 41:08
  or
• 41:08
  whatever
• 41:08
  one
• 41:08
  year,
• 41:09
  or
• 41:09
  97
• 41:09
  or
• 41:10
  whatever
• 41:10
  it
• 41:10
  was.
• 41:10
  And
• 41:11
  we
• 41:11
  didn't
• 41:11
  even
• 41:11
  go
• 41:11
  to
• 41:12
  the
• 41:12
  playoffs
• 41:12
  because
• 41:12
  the
• 41:12
  Cardinals
• 41:13
  beat
• 41:13
  us.
• 41:13
  Right?
• 41:14
  Yeah.
• 41:14
  You
• 41:14
  know,
• 41:15
  so
• 41:15
  a
• 41:16
  lot
• 41:16
  of
• 41:16
  things
• 41:16
  can
• 41:16
  happen
• 41:17
  when
• 41:17
  you're
• 41:17
  head
• 41:17
  to
• 41:18
  head.
• 41:18
  So
• 41:20
  I
• 41:20
  think
• 41:20
  that's
• 41:20
  what
• 41:20
  we're
• 41:21
  seeing
• 41:21
  in
• 41:21
  baseball
• 41:21
  today.
• 41:22
  These
• 41:22
  teams
• 41:22
  that
• 41:23
  we
• 41:24
  think
• 41:24
  you're
• 41:25
  going
• 41:25
  to
• 41:25
  win.
• 41:25
  The
• 41:25
  Mets,
• 41:26
  the
• 41:26
  Yankees,
• 41:27
  nobody
• 41:28
  talks
• 41:28
  about
• 41:28
  the
• 41:29
  Blue
• 41:29
  Jays,
• 41:29
  great
• 41:30
  team.
• 41:30
  I
• 41:30
  mean,
• 41:31
  they're
• 41:31
  up
• 41:31
  in
• 41:31
  Canada,
• 41:32
  whatever.
• 41:34
  Milwaukee's
• 41:35
  a
• 41:35
  really
• 41:35
  good
• 41:35
  team.
• 41:36
  You
• 41:37
  know,
• 41:37
  Seattle's
• 41:37
  been
• 41:38
  a
• 41:38
  team
• 41:38
  that's
• 41:39
  busted
• 41:39
  every
• 41:40
  year,
• 41:40
  except
• 41:40
  for
• 41:41
  this
• 41:41
  year.
• 41:41
  They've
• 41:41
  got
• 41:41
  back
• 41:42
  to
• 41:42
  the
• 41:42
  playoffs.
• 41:43
  So,
• 41:44
  you
• 41:44
  know,
• 41:44
  I
• 41:45
  don't
• 41:45
  know,
• 41:45
  you
• 41:46
  just
• 41:46
  gotta.
• 41:47
  You
• 41:47
  gotta
• 41:47
  see
• 41:47
  who
• 41:48
  gets
• 41:48
  hot
• 41:48
  and
• 41:48
  who
• 41:48
  doesn't
• 41:49
  get
• 41:49
  hot,
• 41:49
  who
• 41:49
  plays
• 41:50
  good
• 41:50
  together.
• 41:50
  And
• 41:51
  I
• 41:51
  think
• 41:51
  chemistry
• 41:52
  is.
• 41:52
  I'll
• 41:52
  go
• 41:52
  back
• 41:53
  to
• 41:53
  chemistry.
• 41:54
  Chemistry
• 41:55
  is
• 41:55
  a
• 41:55
  big
• 41:55
  part
• 41:55
  of
• 41:55
  success.
• 41:56
  Yeah.
• 41:57
  And
• 41:57
  all
• 41:58
  those
• 41:58
  teams
• 41:58
  have
• 41:58
  talent.
• 42:00
  So
• 42:00
  how
• 42:01
  they
• 42:02
  intervene
• 42:02
  with
• 42:03
  each
• 42:03
  other
• 42:03
  is
• 42:03
  very
• 42:04
  important,
• 42:04
  I
• 42:04
  think.
• 42:05
  And
• 42:05
  as
• 42:05
  you
• 42:05
  say,
• 42:06
  Wally,
• 42:06
  it's
• 42:06
  Who
• 42:06
  gets
• 42:07
  hot
• 42:09
  that'll
• 42:09
  take
• 42:09
  you
• 42:09
  to
• 42:10
  the
• 42:10
  playoffs.
• 42:10
  Now,
• 42:11
  as
• 42:11
  we
• 42:11
  remember,
• 42:13
  the
• 42:13
  younger
• 42:13
  folks
• 42:14
  may
• 42:14
  not
• 42:14
  know
• 42:14
  the
• 42:15
  1986
• 42:16
  team
• 42:17
  didn't
• 42:17
  shy
• 42:18
  away
• 42:18
  from
• 42:18
  any
• 42:19
  fights.
• 42:19
  We
• 42:20
  know
• 42:20
  that.
• 42:20
  One
• 42:20
  of
• 42:20
  my
• 42:21
  favorite
• 42:21
  games,
• 42:21
  Wally,
• 42:22
  was
• 42:22
  the
• 42:22
  one
• 42:23
  against
• 42:23
  the
• 42:23
  Cincinnati
• 42:24
  Reds
• 42:24
  in
• 42:24
  Riverfront
• 42:25
  Stadium.
• 42:26
  I
• 42:26
  remember
• 42:27
  that
• 42:28
  Eric
• 42:29
  Davis
• 42:30
  slides
• 42:30
  in
• 42:30
  hard
• 42:31
  on
• 42:31
  rain
• 42:32
  night
• 42:32
  at
• 42:32
  third
• 42:32
  base.
• 42:33
  Now,
• 42:33
  Ray
• 42:33
  was
• 42:33
  a
• 42:33
  boxer.
• 42:34
  He
• 42:34
  didn't
• 42:35
  back
• 42:35
  down.
• 42:36
  Eric
• 42:36
  pushes
• 42:37
  Ray,
• 42:38
  so
• 42:38
  Ray
• 42:38
  holds
• 42:39
  off
• 42:39
  for
• 42:39
  the
• 42:39
  right
• 42:40
  cross,
• 42:41
  right
• 42:41
  to
• 42:41
  his
• 42:42
  face,
• 42:42
  and
• 42:43
  the
• 42:43
  bench
• 42:43
  is
• 42:44
  empty.
• 42:44
  Where
• 42:45
  did
• 42:45
  you
• 42:45
  end
• 42:45
  up
• 42:46
  in
• 42:46
  that
• 42:46
  one,
• 42:46
  Wally?
• 42:47
  I
• 42:47
  ended
• 42:48
  up
• 42:48
  in
• 42:48
  the
• 42:48
  middle
• 42:48
  somewhere.
• 42:49
  You
• 42:49
  know,
• 42:49
  I
• 42:49
  didn't
• 42:50
  throw
• 42:50
  no
• 42:50
  punches
• 42:51
  or
• 42:51
  anything
• 42:51
  like
• 42:51
  that.
• 42:51
  But
• 42:52
  you're
• 42:53
  absolutely
• 42:53
  right.
• 42:53
  Ray
• 42:54
  was
• 42:54
  a
• 42:54
  boxer.
• 42:54
  And,
• 42:55
  you
• 42:56
  know,
• 42:56
  we
• 42:56
  had.
• 42:57
  Everybody
• 42:58
  had
• 42:58
  each
• 42:58
  other's
• 42:58
  back,
• 42:59
  so
• 42:59
  there
• 42:59
  was
• 42:59
  no
• 43:00
  worries
• 43:00
  whatsoever.
• 43:02
  And
• 43:02
  I
• 43:03
  think
• 43:03
  when
• 43:03
  Ray
• 43:04
  hit
• 43:04
  Eric,
• 43:05
  he
• 43:05
  basically
• 43:06
  knocked
• 43:06
  him
• 43:07
  out
• 43:07
  on
• 43:07
  his
• 43:07
  feet.
• 43:07
  He
• 43:07
  stayed
• 43:08
  on
• 43:08
  his
• 43:08
  feet,
• 43:09
  but
• 43:10
  it
• 43:10
  was.
• 43:10
  It
• 43:10
  was.
• 43:11
  You
• 43:11
  know,
• 43:12
  I
• 43:12
  look
• 43:12
  at
• 43:12
  that
• 43:13
  stuff
• 43:13
  and
• 43:13
  it
• 43:14
  brings
• 43:15
  back
• 43:15
  great
• 43:15
  memories
• 43:16
  just
• 43:16
  because
• 43:18
  I
• 43:18
  know
• 43:18
  that
• 43:19
  the
• 43:20
  togetherness
• 43:21
  that
• 43:21
  we
• 43:21
  had
• 43:21
  as
• 43:21
  a
• 43:21
  team,
• 43:22
  right?
• 43:24
  And
• 43:24
  that
• 43:25
  was
• 43:25
  the
• 43:25
  game
• 43:25
  I
• 43:26
  tell
• 43:26
  people,
• 43:27
  where
• 43:27
  Davey
• 43:28
  alternated
• 43:29
  left
• 43:29
  and
• 43:29
  right
• 43:30
  hand
• 43:30
  pitchers,
• 43:30
  putting
• 43:31
  Roger
• 43:32
  McDowell
• 43:33
  and
• 43:33
  Jesse
• 43:33
  Orozco
• 43:34
  between
• 43:35
  right
• 43:35
  field
• 43:35
  and
• 43:36
  the
• 43:36
  pitcher's
• 43:36
  mound.
• 43:37
  He
• 43:37
  had
• 43:38
  an
• 43:38
  answer
• 43:39
  for
• 43:39
  every
• 43:39
  batter
• 43:39
  the
• 43:40
  Reds
• 43:40
  put
• 43:40
  up.
• 43:42
  Well,
• 43:42
  they
• 43:42
  were,
• 43:42
  you
• 43:42
  know
• 43:43
  what
• 43:43
  between
• 43:43
  Jesse
• 43:44
  and
• 43:44
  Roger.
• 43:44
  They
• 43:44
  were
• 43:45
  both
• 43:45
  very
• 43:45
  good
• 43:45
  athletes.
• 43:46
  So
• 43:47
  putting
• 43:47
  those
• 43:47
  guys
• 43:48
  in
• 43:48
  the
• 43:48
  outfield
• 43:49
  like
• 43:49
  he
• 43:49
  did
• 43:49
  and
• 43:49
  bringing
• 43:50
  them
• 43:50
  back
• 43:50
  and
• 43:50
  forth
• 43:50
  was
• 43:52
  not
• 43:52
  something
• 43:53
  that,
• 43:54
  as
• 43:55
  a
• 43:55
  player
• 43:55
  that
• 43:56
  we
• 43:56
  would
• 43:56
  think,
• 43:57
  well,
• 43:57
  this
• 43:57
  is
• 43:57
  crazy.
• 43:58
  But
• 43:59
  we
• 43:59
  knew
• 43:59
  that
• 44:00
  they
• 44:00
  were
• 44:00
  both
• 44:00
  good
• 44:00
  athletes.
• 44:01
  These
• 44:01
  guys
• 44:01
  shagged
• 44:02
  in
• 44:02
  the
• 44:02
  outfield.
• 44:02
  They
• 44:03
  did
• 44:03
  everything
• 44:03
  every
• 44:04
  day.
• 44:05
  They
• 44:05
  worked
• 44:05
  their
• 44:05
  butts
• 44:06
  off
• 44:06
  every
• 44:06
  day,
• 44:07
  and
• 44:08
  we
• 44:09
  knew
• 44:09
  that
• 44:09
  they
• 44:09
  could
• 44:09
  do
• 44:09
  it.
• 44:10
  But
• 44:11
  for
• 44:11
  somebody
• 44:12
  to
• 44:12
  actually
• 44:12
  do
• 44:12
  it,
• 44:13
  which
• 44:13
  Davey
• 44:14
  did,
• 44:14
  was
• 44:15
  pretty
• 44:15
  amazing,
• 44:16
  actually.
• 44:16
  Yeah,
• 44:17
  and
• 44:18
  it
• 44:18
  worked
• 44:19
  like
• 44:19
  hell,
• 44:19
  that's
• 44:19
  for
• 44:20
  sure.
• 44:20
  That
• 44:20
  was
• 44:20
  the
• 44:21
  game,
• 44:21
  Wally.
• 44:21
  I
• 44:22
  think
• 44:23
  the
• 44:23
  great
• 44:24
  hall
• 44:24
  of
• 44:24
  Famer,
• 44:24
  Dave
• 44:25
  Parker.
• 44:26
  Fly
• 44:27
  ball
• 44:27
  to
• 44:27
  Dave
• 44:27
  and
• 44:28
  he
• 44:28
  just
• 44:28
  dropped
• 44:28
  it.
• 44:28
  I
• 44:29
  mean,
• 44:29
  you
• 44:29
  didn't
• 44:29
  see
• 44:29
  that
• 44:30
  very
• 44:30
  often,
• 44:31
  right?
• 44:32
  No.
• 44:32
  You
• 44:32
  know,
• 44:33
  he
• 44:33
  used
• 44:33
  to
• 44:33
  always
• 44:33
  try
• 44:33
  to
• 44:34
  snatch
• 44:34
  that
• 44:34
  shit.
• 44:35
  Yeah,
• 44:35
  great
• 44:36
  player.
• 44:37
  And
• 44:38
  he
• 44:38
  tried
• 44:38
  to
• 44:38
  snatch
• 44:38
  it
• 44:39
  and
• 44:39
  threw
• 44:39
  it
• 44:39
  right
• 44:39
  out
• 44:39
  of
• 44:39
  his
• 44:40
  glove
• 44:40
  and
• 44:41
  cost
• 44:41
  him
• 44:41
  the
• 44:41
  game.
• 44:42
  But,
• 44:42
  you
• 44:42
  know,
• 44:43
  it
• 44:43
  happens.
• 44:44
  That's
• 44:44
  it.
• 44:44
  You're
• 44:45
  exactly
• 44:45
  right.
• 44:46
  Now,
• 44:48
  tremendous
• 44:48
  season,
• 44:49
  folks.
• 44:49
  Like
• 44:49
  I
• 44:50
  said,
• 44:50
  the
• 44:50
  kids
• 44:50
  can
• 44:50
  look
• 44:51
  it
• 44:51
  up.
• 44:51
  1986,
• 44:52
  like
• 44:53
  one
• 44:53
  of
• 44:53
  the
• 44:53
  guys
• 44:54
  in
• 44:54
  Twisted
• 44:55
  Sister
• 44:55
  says
• 44:56
  in
• 44:56
  the
• 44:56
  great
• 44:57
  let's
• 44:57
  Go
• 44:57
  Mets
• 44:58
  video,
• 44:59
  even
• 44:59
  if
• 44:59
  they
• 44:59
  lose
• 45:00
  a
• 45:00
  few
• 45:00
  games,
• 45:01
  they're
• 45:01
  so
• 45:01
  far
• 45:02
  ahead,
• 45:02
  it
• 45:03
  doesn't
• 45:03
  matter.
• 45:05
  Well,
• 45:06
  it
• 45:06
  only
• 45:06
  matters
• 45:07
  in
• 45:07
  the
• 45:07
  end,
• 45:07
  you
• 45:08
  know,
• 45:08
  when
• 45:08
  it
• 45:08
  matters.
• 45:09
  It's
• 45:09
  when
• 45:10
  you
• 45:10
  put
• 45:10
  that
• 45:10
  ring
• 45:10
  on
• 45:10
  your
• 45:11
  finger.
• 45:11
  Yeah,
• 45:12
  that's
• 45:13
  when
• 45:13
  it
• 45:13
  matters.
• 45:14
  And
• 45:15
  it
• 45:15
  worked.
• 45:16
  It
• 45:16
  worked
• 45:16
  for
• 45:16
  you
• 45:17
  guys.
• 45:17
  Now,
• 45:18
  social
• 45:18
  media,
• 45:18
  Wally,
• 45:19
  can
• 45:19
  you
• 45:19
  imagine
• 45:20
  that
• 45:20
  team
• 45:21
  with
• 45:21
  social
• 45:21
  media
• 45:22
  around?
• 45:23
  Oh,
• 45:24
  my
• 45:24
  God,
• 45:24
  absolutely
• 45:25
  not.
• 45:27
  It
• 45:28
  would
• 45:28
  have
• 45:28
  been
• 45:28
  crazy.
• 45:29
  You
• 45:29
  know,
• 45:29
  all
• 45:29
  the
• 45:29
  things
• 45:30
  that
• 45:30
  we
• 45:30
  did,
• 45:31
  we
• 45:32
  did
• 45:32
  as
• 45:32
  a
• 45:32
  team.
• 45:33
  And
• 45:34
  I
• 45:34
  believe
• 45:35
  that
• 45:37
  when
• 45:37
  social
• 45:37
  media
• 45:38
  came
• 45:38
  along
• 45:38
  and
• 45:39
  got
• 45:40
  bigger,
• 45:41
  that
• 45:41
  I
• 45:41
  think
• 45:42
  all
• 45:42
  the
• 45:42
  other
• 45:42
  teams
• 45:42
  were
• 45:43
  doing
• 45:43
  kind
• 45:43
  of
• 45:43
  the
• 45:43
  same
• 45:44
  stuff.
• 45:44
  It
• 45:44
  was
• 45:45
  just
• 45:46
  so
• 45:47
  much
• 45:48
  bigger
• 45:49
  in
• 45:49
  New
• 45:49
  York,
• 45:50
  which
• 45:50
  is
• 45:51
  obviously
• 45:51
  the
• 45:51
  greatest
• 45:52
  city
• 45:52
  to
• 45:52
  ever
• 45:52
  play
• 45:53
  in,
• 45:55
  but
• 45:55
  I
• 45:55
  think
• 45:55
  the
• 45:56
  other
• 45:56
  cities
• 45:57
  did
• 45:57
  the
• 45:57
  same
• 45:57
  thing.
• 45:58
  We
• 45:59
  were
• 45:59
  just
• 45:59
  more
• 45:59
  magnified,
• 46:00
  I
• 46:00
  think,
• 46:00
  in
• 46:01
  New
• 46:01
  York.
• 46:02
  Yeah,
• 46:03
  that's
• 46:04
  for
• 46:04
  sure,
• 46:04
  Wally.
• 46:04
  Yeah.
• 46:05
  Now,
• 46:06
  I
• 46:06
  was
• 46:07
  thinking,
• 46:07
  how
• 46:07
  about
• 46:07
  Mike
• 46:08
  Scott
• 46:08
  with
• 46:08
  all
• 46:08
  that
• 46:08
  media
• 46:09
  around,
• 46:10
  right?
• 46:11
  Hey,
• 46:11
  Mike
• 46:12
  Scott
• 46:12
  and
• 46:12
  I
• 46:12
  were
• 46:12
  roommates
• 46:13
  when
• 46:13
  he
• 46:14
  was
• 46:14
  with
• 46:14
  the
• 46:14
  Mets.
• 46:15
  I
• 46:15
  didn't
• 46:16
  know
• 46:16
  that
• 46:16
  in
• 46:16
  the
• 46:16
  structural
• 46:17
  league.
• 46:17
  And
• 46:18
  Scotty
• 46:18
  was
• 46:18
  a.
• 46:20
  He
• 46:20
  was
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  good
• 46:21
  pitcher,
• 46:21
  but
• 46:21
  he
• 46:21
  was
• 46:21
  a.500
• 46:22
  pitcher.
• 46:23
  And
• 46:23
  when
• 46:23
  everything
• 46:24
  started
• 46:24
  to
• 46:24
  happen,
• 46:26
  we
• 46:26
  all
• 46:26
  thought,
• 46:27
  what
• 46:27
  is
• 46:27
  he
• 46:27
  doing?
• 46:27
  You
• 46:28
  know?
• 46:28
  But
• 46:29
  too
• 46:29
  many
• 46:29
  guys
• 46:30
  let
• 46:30
  it
• 46:30
  get
• 46:30
  to
• 46:30
  their
• 46:31
  head.
• 46:32
  And
• 46:33
  you
• 46:33
  still
• 46:33
  got
• 46:34
  to
• 46:34
  play
• 46:34
  the
• 46:34
  game.
• 46:34
  You
• 46:34
  got
• 46:35
  to
• 46:35
  still
• 46:35
  play
• 46:35
  the
• 46:35
  game.
• 46:35
  And
• 46:36
  he's
• 46:36
  still
• 46:36
  got
• 46:36
  to
• 46:36
  make
• 46:36
  his
• 46:37
  pitches,
• 46:37
  which
• 46:37
  he
• 46:37
  did.
• 46:38
  And
• 46:39
  nobody
• 46:39
  wanted
• 46:40
  to
• 46:40
  really
• 46:40
  face
• 46:40
  this
• 46:40
  guy
• 46:41
  in
• 46:41
  Game
• 46:41
  7
• 46:43
  against
• 46:43
  Houston.
• 46:44
  And
• 46:45
  thank
• 46:46
  God
• 46:46
  we
• 46:46
  didn't
• 46:46
  have
• 46:46
  to.
• 46:48
  Well,
• 46:48
  I'm
• 46:48
  always
• 46:48
  reminded,
• 46:49
  I
• 46:49
  think
• 46:49
  it
• 46:49
  was
• 46:50
  Jeffrey
• 46:50
  Leonard
• 46:51
  who
• 46:51
  said
• 46:52
  about
• 46:52
  Doc,
• 46:54
  he
• 46:54
  ain't
• 46:54
  God,
• 46:55
  man.
• 46:55
  It's
• 46:55
  like
• 46:56
  Mike
• 46:56
  Scott,
• 46:57
  he
• 46:57
  can
• 46:58
  still
• 46:58
  be
• 46:58
  beat.
• 46:58
  So
• 46:59
  I
• 46:59
  think
• 46:59
  you
• 46:59
  guys
• 46:59
  would
• 46:59
  have
• 47:00
  done
• 47:00
  well
• 47:00
  against,
• 47:01
  but
• 47:01
  it
• 47:01
  would
• 47:01
  have
• 47:01
  been
• 47:01
  a
• 47:01
  rough
• 47:02
  go.
• 47:03
  Oh,
• 47:03
  no,
• 47:04
  for
• 47:04
  sure.
• 47:04
  I
• 47:04
  mean,
• 47:05
  I
• 47:05
  know
• 47:05
  that.
• 47:06
  I
• 47:07
  remember
• 47:07
  that
• 47:07
  one
• 47:08
  year
• 47:08
  Doc
• 47:08
  had
• 47:08
  a
• 47:09
  great
• 47:09
  year.
• 47:10
  I
• 47:10
  think
• 47:10
  it
• 47:10
  was
• 47:10
  the
• 47:10
  year
• 47:11
  he
• 47:11
  won.
• 47:11
  Might
• 47:12
  have
• 47:12
  been
• 47:12
  his
• 47:12
  rookie
• 47:12
  year,
• 47:12
  when
• 47:12
  he
• 47:13
  won
• 47:13
  24
• 47:13
  games
• 47:13
  or
• 47:14
  whatever
• 47:15
  it
• 47:15
  was.
• 47:15
  And
• 47:16
  we
• 47:17
  went
• 47:17
  to
• 47:17
  St.
• 47:17
  Louis
• 47:17
  and
• 47:18
  he
• 47:18
  was
• 47:18
  getting
• 47:18
  roughed
• 47:19
  up
• 47:20
  and
• 47:21
  he
• 47:22
  came
• 47:22
  out.
• 47:23
  I
• 47:23
  think
• 47:24
  Mel
• 47:24
  Sottlebutter
• 47:25
  came
• 47:25
  out
• 47:26
  to
• 47:26
  talk
• 47:27
  to
• 47:27
  Doc
• 47:27
  and.
• 47:28
  And
• 47:28
  Doc
• 47:28
  says,
• 47:28
  I
• 47:29
  just
• 47:29
  want
• 47:29
  one
• 47:29
  more
• 47:29
  hitter.
• 47:31
  And
• 47:31
  it
• 47:31
  happened
• 47:32
  to
• 47:32
  be.
• 47:34
  What
• 47:34
  was
• 47:34
  the
• 47:34
  kid's
• 47:34
  name?
• 47:36
  I
• 47:36
  can't
• 47:36
  think
• 47:37
  of
• 47:37
  his
• 47:37
  name,
• 47:37
  but
• 47:38
  Doc
• 47:38
  says,
• 47:39
  I'm
• 47:39
  gonna
• 47:39
  hit
• 47:39
  him
• 47:39
  in
• 47:40
  the
• 47:40
  head.
• 47:41
  And
• 47:41
  everybody.
• 47:42
  Keith's
• 47:42
  over
• 47:42
  there
• 47:43
  and
• 47:43
  we're
• 47:43
  saying,
• 47:43
  no,
• 47:43
  you
• 47:43
  can't
• 47:44
  hit
• 47:44
  this
• 47:44
  guy
• 47:44
  in
• 47:44
  the
• 47:44
  head.
• 47:45
  He
• 47:45
  says,
• 47:45
  watch
• 47:46
  this,
• 47:46
  I'll
• 47:46
  break
• 47:46
  his
• 47:46
  leg.
• 47:47
  And
• 47:47
  he
• 47:48
  did.
• 47:49
  And
• 47:49
  it
• 47:49
  was
• 47:49
  a
• 47:50
  rookie.
• 47:50
  Ford
• 47:50
  was
• 47:51
  his
• 47:51
  last
• 47:51
  name.
• 47:51
  Oh,
• 47:52
  all
• 47:52
  right.
• 47:52
  And
• 47:52
  he
• 47:52
  hit
• 47:53
  him
• 47:53
  in
• 47:53
  the
• 47:53
  leg
• 47:53
  and.
• 47:54
  And
• 47:54
  broke
• 47:54
  his
• 47:55
  leg.
• 47:55
  It
• 47:55
  was
• 47:55
  like,
• 47:56
  oh,
• 47:56
  my
• 47:56
  God,
• 47:56
  nobody
• 47:57
  can
• 47:57
  be
• 47:57
  that
• 47:57
  good.
• 47:58
  But
• 47:58
  Doc
• 47:59
  was
• 47:59
  that
• 47:59
  Good.
• 48:00
  Yup,
• 48:01
  he
• 48:01
  was.
• 48:02
  That's
• 48:02
  a
• 48:02
  story
• 48:03
  for
• 48:03
  another
• 48:03
  day,
• 48:03
  Wally.
• 48:04
  That's
• 48:05
  definitely
• 48:06
  now
• 48:06
  the
• 48:07
  two
• 48:07
  game
• 48:07
  sixes.
• 48:08
  I
• 48:08
  remember
• 48:09
  the
• 48:09
  Houston
• 48:09
  game.
• 48:11
  We
• 48:11
  heard
• 48:11
  the
• 48:11
  Mets
• 48:12
  were
• 48:12
  down.
• 48:12
  I
• 48:12
  was
• 48:12
  working
• 48:13
  at
• 48:13
  Merrill
• 48:13
  lynch
• 48:14
  at
• 48:14
  the
• 48:14
  time.
• 48:14
  We
• 48:15
  went
• 48:15
  to
• 48:15
  McCann's,
• 48:16
  which
• 48:16
  there
• 48:17
  were
• 48:17
  like
• 48:17
  50
• 48:17
  McCanns
• 48:18
  in
• 48:18
  Manhattan
• 48:19
  at
• 48:19
  the
• 48:19
  time.
• 48:19
  So
• 48:20
  we
• 48:21
  figured,
• 48:21
  let's
• 48:21
  go
• 48:21
  down
• 48:22
  the
• 48:22
  bar,
• 48:22
  we'll
• 48:23
  watch
• 48:23
  the
• 48:23
  end
• 48:23
  of
• 48:23
  the
• 48:23
  game
• 48:24
  and
• 48:24
  the
• 48:24
  season
• 48:24
  will
• 48:24
  be
• 48:25
  over.
• 48:25
  We
• 48:25
  were
• 48:25
  there
• 48:26
  all
• 48:26
  night.
• 48:27
  Yeah,
• 48:28
  no,
• 48:28
  I
• 48:28
  know.
• 48:29
  That's
• 48:29
  the
• 48:29
  game.
• 48:31
  What
• 48:31
  were
• 48:31
  your
• 48:32
  memories
• 48:32
  looking
• 48:32
  back
• 48:33
  at
• 48:33
  that
• 48:33
  game
• 48:33
  against
• 48:34
  Houston?
• 48:35
  Well,
• 48:36
  the
• 48:36
  memories
• 48:36
  were,
• 48:38
  you
• 48:39
  know,
• 48:39
  Lenny
• 48:40
  got
• 48:40
  the
• 48:40
  big
• 48:40
  hit.
• 48:41
  You
• 48:41
  know,
• 48:42
  we
• 48:42
  scored
• 48:43
  those
• 48:43
  runs
• 48:43
  and
• 48:44
  we
• 48:45
  didn't.
• 48:45
  The
• 48:46
  biggest
• 48:46
  memory,
• 48:47
  I
• 48:47
  think
• 48:47
  is
• 48:49
  for
• 48:49
  most
• 48:49
  of
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  players
• 48:50
  is
• 48:50
  we
• 48:51
  didn't
• 48:51
  want
• 48:51
  to
• 48:51
  go
• 48:51
  to
• 48:51
  Game
• 48:52
  7
• 48:52
  because
• 48:52
  we
• 48:52
  didn't
• 48:53
  want
• 48:53
  to
• 48:53
  have
• 48:53
  to
• 48:53
  face
• 48:53
  Mike
• 48:54
  Scott.
• 48:54
  We
• 48:54
  knew
• 48:54
  how
• 48:54
  good
• 48:54
  he
• 48:55
  was.
• 48:55
  Right.
• 48:56
  And
• 48:56
  I
• 48:56
  can't
• 48:57
  remember
• 48:58
  who
• 48:58
  was
• 48:58
  supposed
• 48:59
  to
• 48:59
  pitch
• 48:59
  game
• 49:00
  seven,
• 49:01
  but
• 49:01
  I
• 49:01
  don't
• 49:01
  think
• 49:02
  it
• 49:02
  was.
• 49:02
  I
• 49:02
  don't
• 49:03
  think
• 49:03
  it
• 49:03
  was
• 49:03
  Doc.
• 49:03
  I
• 49:04
  don't
• 49:04
  think
• 49:04
  it
• 49:04
  was
• 49:04
  a
• 49:05
  good
• 49:05
  matchup
• 49:06
  with
• 49:06
  Mike
• 49:06
  Scott,
• 49:07
  but
• 49:08
  the
• 49:08
  way
• 49:08
  that
• 49:08
  he
• 49:08
  had
• 49:09
  pitched
• 49:09
  that
• 49:09
  year.
• 49:09
  Because
• 49:09
  I
• 49:10
  believe
• 49:10
  Scott
• 49:10
  won
• 49:11
  the
• 49:11
  cyan
• 49:11
  that
• 49:11
  year.
• 49:12
  I
• 49:12
  believe.
• 49:12
  Didn't
• 49:13
  he?
• 49:13
  I
• 49:13
  think
• 49:14
  so,
• 49:14
  yeah.
• 49:14
  Why
• 49:15
  not?
• 49:15
  Yeah.
• 49:17
  So
• 49:18
  it
• 49:18
  was,
• 49:19
  you
• 49:19
  know,
• 49:19
  nobody
• 49:20
  wanted
• 49:20
  to
• 49:20
  have
• 49:21
  to
• 49:21
  play
• 49:21
  that
• 49:21
  Game
• 49:21
  seven.
• 49:22
  And
• 49:22
  so
• 49:22
  we
• 49:22
  just
• 49:23
  kind
• 49:23
  of
• 49:23
  turned
• 49:24
  it
• 49:24
  around
• 49:24
  and
• 49:26
  we
• 49:26
  played
• 49:26
  our
• 49:26
  game.
• 49:27
  I
• 49:27
  mean,
• 49:27
  it
• 49:27
  was
• 49:27
  the
• 49:28
  most
• 49:28
  stressful
• 49:28
  games
• 49:29
  that
• 49:29
  we
• 49:29
  played
• 49:29
  the
• 49:29
  whole
• 49:30
  season.
• 49:30
  I
• 49:30
  know
• 49:30
  when
• 49:31
  we
• 49:31
  played
• 49:31
  Boston
• 49:31
  in
• 49:32
  the
• 49:32
  World
• 49:32
  Series,
• 49:32
  the
• 49:32
  last
• 49:33
  first
• 49:33
  few
• 49:33
  games,
• 49:34
  it
• 49:35
  was
• 49:35
  like
• 49:35
  we
• 49:35
  were
• 49:36
  in
• 49:36
  a
• 49:36
  daze
• 49:36
  because
• 49:37
  it
• 49:37
  was
• 49:37
  a
• 49:37
  sigh
• 49:37
  of
• 49:38
  relief
• 49:39
  that
• 49:39
  we
• 49:39
  beat
• 49:39
  Houston
• 49:40
  in
• 49:40
  that
• 49:40
  series.
• 49:41
  So
• 49:42
  we
• 49:43
  woke
• 49:43
  up.
• 49:43
  We
• 49:44
  woke
• 49:44
  up
• 49:44
  and
• 49:44
  finished
• 49:45
  the
• 49:45
  deal.
• 49:45
  So.
• 49:47
  It
• 49:48
  was
• 49:48
  a
• 49:48
  great
• 49:48
  year,
• 49:49
  a
• 49:49
  great
• 49:49
  time.
• 49:51
  I
• 49:51
  couldn't
• 49:51
  tell
• 49:51
  you
• 49:52
  that
• 49:52
  I
• 49:52
  ever
• 49:52
  played
• 49:52
  with
• 49:52
  that
• 49:53
  great
• 49:53
  of
• 49:53
  players.
• 49:54
  Now
• 49:54
  looking
• 49:55
  at
• 49:55
  the
• 49:55
  next
• 49:55
  Game
• 49:55
  6
• 49:56
  against
• 49:56
  the
• 49:56
  Red
• 49:56
  Sox.
• 49:57
  Wally
• 49:57
  Backman
• 49:58
  with
• 49:58
  us
• 49:58
  tonight
• 49:59
  on
• 49:59
  Sports
• 49:59
  Talk
• 50:00
  New
• 50:00
  York.
• 50:01
  So
• 50:01
  much
• 50:01
  controversy.
• 50:02
  You
• 50:02
  had
• 50:02
  the
• 50:02
  Dave
• 50:03
  Stapleton
• 50:04
  coming
• 50:04
  in
• 50:05
  for
• 50:05
  Billy
• 50:05
  Buck.
• 50:06
  You
• 50:06
  had
• 50:06
  Roger
• 50:07
  Clemens,
• 50:07
  whether
• 50:07
  he
• 50:08
  wanted
• 50:08
  to
• 50:08
  come
• 50:08
  out
• 50:09
  or
• 50:09
  not.
• 50:09
  You
• 50:10
  guys
• 50:10
  knew
• 50:10
  Schiraldi,
• 50:11
  though.
• 50:13
  Giraldi
• 50:13
  was
• 50:14
  the
• 50:14
  net.
• 50:14
  We
• 50:14
  knew
• 50:14
  that.
• 50:16
  And
• 50:16
  I'll
• 50:16
  say
• 50:16
  it
• 50:17
  to
• 50:17
  the
• 50:17
  late
• 50:19
  Bob
• 50:19
  McNamara,
• 50:20
  that
• 50:22
  he
• 50:22
  brought
• 50:22
  Dave
• 50:23
  Stapleton
• 50:23
  in,
• 50:23
  who
• 50:24
  I
• 50:24
  played
• 50:24
  against
• 50:24
  in
• 50:24
  a
• 50:24
  minor
• 50:25
  leagues.
• 50:26
  He
• 50:26
  brought
• 50:26
  him
• 50:26
  in
• 50:27
  almost
• 50:27
  every
• 50:27
  game
• 50:28
  for
• 50:28
  defense
• 50:28
  because
• 50:29
  Buck
• 50:30
  had
• 50:30
  the
• 50:30
  bad
• 50:30
  Achilles
• 50:31
  tendons.
• 50:32
  Right.
• 50:32
  And
• 50:35
  I
• 50:35
  could
• 50:36
  see
• 50:36
  as
• 50:36
  a
• 50:36
  manager
• 50:37
  why
• 50:37
  he
• 50:37
  didn't
• 50:38
  bring
• 50:38
  Stapleton
• 50:39
  in.
• 50:40
  But
• 50:40
  I
• 50:40
  can
• 50:40
  also
• 50:41
  see
• 50:41
  as
• 50:41
  a
• 50:41
  manager
• 50:42
  why
• 50:42
  you
• 50:42
  should
• 50:42
  have
• 50:43
  brought
• 50:43
  him.
• 50:43
  In.
• 50:45
  For
• 50:45
  defense
• 50:46
  because
• 50:46
  that
• 50:46
  was.
• 50:47
  I
• 50:48
  Mean,
• 50:48
  we've
• 50:48
  all
• 50:48
  seen
• 50:48
  it
• 50:49
  a
• 50:49
  million
• 50:49
  times.
• 50:50
  That
• 50:51
  was
• 50:51
  the
• 50:51
  most
• 50:51
  routine
• 50:52
  play
• 50:52
  that
• 50:52
  there
• 50:52
  was,
• 50:54
  and
• 50:54
  Billy
• 50:55
  just
• 50:55
  couldn't
• 50:55
  bend
• 50:56
  over.
• 50:57
  And
• 50:58
  I
• 50:58
  think
• 50:58
  McRamil
• 50:59
  wanted
• 50:59
  him
• 51:00
  in
• 51:00
  there
• 51:01
  because
• 51:01
  he
• 51:01
  was
• 51:01
  a
• 51:02
  veteran
• 51:02
  and
• 51:04
  wanted
• 51:05
  him
• 51:05
  to
• 51:05
  be
• 51:05
  on
• 51:05
  the
• 51:06
  field
• 51:06
  when
• 51:06
  they
• 51:06
  won
• 51:06
  the
• 51:06
  World
• 51:07
  Series.
• 51:07
  And
• 51:09
  you
• 51:09
  know
• 51:09
  what?
• 51:09
  Sometimes
• 51:11
  I
• 51:11
  won
• 51:11
  a
• 51:11
  championship
• 51:12
  before
• 51:12
  that.
• 51:14
  My
• 51:14
  number
• 51:14
  one
• 51:15
  starter,
• 51:15
  and
• 51:15
  this
• 51:15
  was
• 51:15
  in
• 51:16
  the
• 51:16
  minor
• 51:16
  leagues,
• 51:16
  my
• 51:17
  number
• 51:17
  one
• 51:17
  starter
• 51:17
  was.
• 51:18
  He
• 51:19
  got
• 51:19
  crushed
• 51:19
  by
• 51:19
  a
• 51:19
  team,
• 51:20
  and
• 51:20
  so
• 51:20
  I
• 51:20
  wouldn't
• 51:20
  start
• 51:21
  him
• 51:21
  in
• 51:21
  the
• 51:22
  final
• 51:22
  game
• 51:22
  in
• 51:23
  the
• 51:23
  championship.
• 51:23
  And
• 51:24
  I
• 51:24
  pitched
• 51:24
  the
• 51:24
  bullpen
• 51:25
  and
• 51:25
  we
• 51:25
  won
• 51:27
  and
• 51:27
  we
• 51:27
  were
• 51:27
  ahead,
• 51:28
  and
• 51:28
  I
• 51:28
  let
• 51:28
  him
• 51:28
  come
• 51:29
  in
• 51:29
  for
• 51:29
  the
• 51:29
  last
• 51:29
  three
• 51:30
  outs
• 51:30
  and
• 51:30
  get
• 51:30
  the
• 51:30
  save,
• 51:31
  and
• 51:31
  he
• 51:32
  hated
• 51:32
  me
• 51:33
  for
• 51:33
  the
• 51:33
  whole
• 51:33
  game
• 51:33
  until
• 51:34
  the
• 51:34
  end.
• 51:35
  Yeah.
• 51:35
  So
• 51:36
  you
• 51:36
  just.
• 51:37
  You
• 51:37
  do
• 51:37
  what
• 51:37
  it
• 51:37
  takes
• 51:38
  to
• 51:38
  win.
• 51:39
  And
• 51:39
  it
• 51:40
  takes
• 51:40
  25
• 51:40
  guys
• 51:41
  to
• 51:41
  win.
• 51:41
  You
• 51:41
  can't
• 51:42
  win
• 51:42
  with
• 51:42
  one
• 51:42
  or
• 51:42
  two
• 51:42
  guys.
• 51:43
  I
• 51:43
  don't
• 51:43
  care
• 51:44
  how
• 51:45
  much
• 51:45
  you
• 51:45
  pay
• 51:45
  somebody
• 51:46
  or
• 51:46
  whatever.
• 51:47
  Two
• 51:47
  guys
• 51:47
  don't
• 51:47
  want
• 51:48
  a
• 51:48
  championship
• 51:48
  for
• 51:48
  you.
• 51:49
  No,
• 51:50
  we
• 51:50
  saw
• 51:50
  that
• 51:51
  with
• 51:52
  the
• 51:52
  Mets
• 51:52
  this
• 51:52
  year,
• 51:53
  Wally.
• 51:54
  We
• 51:54
  know
• 51:54
  that
• 51:54
  now.
• 51:56
  They
• 51:56
  wanted
• 51:57
  to
• 51:57
  give
• 51:57
  Greg
• 51:58
  Jeffries
• 51:58
  a
• 51:59
  shot
• 51:59
  at
• 51:59
  second
• 51:59
  base.
• 52:00
  So
• 52:00
  they
• 52:00
  send
• 52:00
  you
• 52:01
  to
• 52:01
  Minnesota.
• 52:03
  Thoughts
• 52:03
  about
• 52:04
  leaving
• 52:04
  the
• 52:04
  Mets?
• 52:09
  I
• 52:09
  hated
• 52:10
  it.
• 52:10
  I
• 52:10
  thought
• 52:10
  I
• 52:10
  went
• 52:10
  back
• 52:11
  to
• 52:11
  the
• 52:11
  minor
• 52:11
  leagues.
• 52:12
  Oh,
• 52:13
  boy.
• 52:13
  You
• 52:13
  know,
• 52:13
  and
• 52:14
  partly
• 52:15
  my
• 52:15
  fault.
• 52:15
  Joe
• 52:15
  McIlvaine
• 52:16
  was
• 52:16
  the
• 52:16
  assistant
• 52:17
  GM,
• 52:17
  and
• 52:18
  he
• 52:19
  called
• 52:19
  me
• 52:19
  into
• 52:20
  the.
• 52:21
  Into
• 52:22
  his
• 52:22
  suite
• 52:22
  in
• 52:22
  Houston
• 52:23
  and.
• 52:25
  Told.
• 52:25
  Me
• 52:25
  what
• 52:26
  they
• 52:26
  were
• 52:26
  going
• 52:26
  to
• 52:26
  do.
• 52:26
  And
• 52:27
  I
• 52:27
  told
• 52:27
  Joe
• 52:27
  I
• 52:27
  would
• 52:28
  rather
• 52:28
  move
• 52:28
  on
• 52:30
  because
• 52:30
  I
• 52:31
  wasn't
• 52:31
  going
• 52:31
  to
• 52:31
  play
• 52:31
  behind
• 52:32
  this
• 52:32
  guy.
• 52:34
  And
• 52:35
  they
• 52:36
  accommodated
• 52:36
  me.
• 52:37
  But
• 52:37
  it's
• 52:37
  the
• 52:37
  biggest
• 52:38
  mistake
• 52:38
  that
• 52:39
  I
• 52:39
  made.
• 52:39
  I
• 52:39
  wish
• 52:39
  I
• 52:40
  would
• 52:40
  have
• 52:40
  stayed
• 52:40
  in
• 52:40
  New
• 52:41
  York
• 52:42
  and.
• 52:42
  And
• 52:42
  just
• 52:43
  thought
• 52:43
  through
• 52:44
  it,
• 52:44
  and
• 52:44
  I
• 52:44
  would
• 52:45
  have
• 52:45
  got
• 52:45
  my
• 52:45
  job
• 52:45
  back.
• 52:46
  I
• 52:46
  wasn't
• 52:46
  worried
• 52:46
  about
• 52:47
  that.
• 52:48
  But
• 52:48
  it
• 52:48
  was,
• 52:49
  you
• 52:49
  know,
• 52:49
  it
• 52:49
  was
• 52:49
  a
• 52:50
  different
• 52:51
  time,
• 52:52
  you
• 52:52
  know,
• 52:53
  that
• 52:53
  they
• 52:53
  were
• 52:54
  doing
• 52:55
  different
• 52:55
  things,
• 52:56
  and
• 52:58
  it
• 52:58
  just
• 52:58
  didn't
• 52:59
  sit
• 52:59
  well
• 52:59
  with
• 52:59
  me.
• 53:00
  And
• 53:01
  I
• 53:01
  don't
• 53:01
  think
• 53:01
  it's
• 53:02
  that
• 53:02
  well
• 53:02
  with
• 53:03
  a
• 53:03
  lot
• 53:03
  of
• 53:03
  players,
• 53:03
  but,
• 53:04
  you
• 53:04
  know,
• 53:05
  that's.
• 53:05
  It's
• 53:05
  part
• 53:05
  of
• 53:06
  baseball
• 53:06
  that
• 53:07
  stuff
• 53:07
  happens.
• 53:08
  Right.
• 53:08
  It's
• 53:09
  time
• 53:09
  to
• 53:09
  say
• 53:09
  goodbye.
• 53:10
  Sometimes,
• 53:10
  unfortunately,
• 53:11
  that
• 53:11
  happens.
• 53:12
  I
• 53:12
  mean,
• 53:12
  the
• 53:13
  guy
• 53:13
  could
• 53:13
  hit,
• 53:14
  but
• 53:14
  there.
• 53:14
  There
• 53:15
  wasn't
• 53:15
  really
• 53:15
  any
• 53:15
  position
• 53:16
  for
• 53:16
  him.
• 53:18
  Well,
• 53:19
  defensively
• 53:20
  he
• 53:20
  stuck.
• 53:21
  Right.
• 53:23
  You
• 53:23
  know,
• 53:23
  but.
• 53:24
  But
• 53:24
  he
• 53:24
  could
• 53:24
  hit.
• 53:25
  There's
• 53:25
  no
• 53:25
  doubt
• 53:25
  he
• 53:26
  could
• 53:26
  hit.
• 53:26
  His
• 53:26
  offense
• 53:27
  was
• 53:29
  probably
• 53:30
  almost
• 53:30
  second
• 53:31
  to.
• 53:31
  Nobody's
• 53:31
  on
• 53:32
  the
• 53:32
  team
• 53:32
  at
• 53:32
  that
• 53:33
  time,
• 53:33
  but
• 53:33
  he
• 53:33
  had
• 53:33
  no
• 53:34
  position
• 53:34
  to
• 53:34
  play.
• 53:35
  Now,
• 53:36
  if
• 53:36
  it
• 53:36
  was
• 53:36
  in
• 53:37
  today's
• 53:37
  world
• 53:37
  and
• 53:37
  there
• 53:38
  was
• 53:38
  a
• 53:38
  dh,
• 53:38
  he
• 53:38
  would
• 53:39
  have
• 53:39
  been
• 53:39
  a
• 53:39
  huge
• 53:39
  asset.
• 53:40
  Yeah,
• 53:41
  but
• 53:41
  there
• 53:42
  wasn't
• 53:42
  that
• 53:42
  Austin
• 53:43
  back
• 53:43
  then,
• 53:43
  so.
• 53:44
  Not
• 53:44
  in
• 53:44
  The
• 53:45
  National
• 53:45
  League?
• 53:46
  No.
• 53:46
  So,
• 53:47
  you
• 53:48
  know,
• 53:48
  Jeffries
• 53:49
  is
• 53:49
  a
• 53:49
  good
• 53:50
  guy.
• 53:51
  He
• 53:52
  didn't
• 53:52
  mean
• 53:52
  any
• 53:53
  harm.
• 53:53
  He
• 53:53
  did
• 53:53
  some
• 53:55
  different
• 53:55
  things
• 53:56
  throughout
• 53:56
  the
• 53:56
  course
• 53:57
  of
• 53:57
  the
• 53:57
  season.
• 53:57
  You
• 53:58
  know,
• 53:58
  everybody
• 53:58
  put
• 53:58
  their
• 53:58
  bats
• 53:59
  in
• 53:59
  it
• 54:00
  in
• 54:00
  a
• 54:00
  bag
• 54:00
  and
• 54:01
  they
• 54:01
  rev
• 54:02
  up
• 54:02
  against
• 54:02
  each
• 54:02
  other,
• 54:03
  whatever.
• 54:03
  And
• 54:03
  he
• 54:03
  wouldn't
• 54:04
  put
• 54:04
  his
• 54:04
  bats
• 54:04
  in
• 54:05
  the
• 54:05
  same
• 54:05
  bag.
• 54:06
  He
• 54:07
  had
• 54:07
  his
• 54:07
  own
• 54:07
  bag.
• 54:08
  So
• 54:08
  I
• 54:08
  mean,
• 54:08
  there
• 54:08
  was
• 54:09
  some
• 54:09
  different
• 54:09
  things
• 54:09
  that
• 54:10
  happened
• 54:10
  back
• 54:10
  then,
• 54:10
  but
• 54:11
  maybe
• 54:12
  that
• 54:12
  was
• 54:13
  the
• 54:13
  point
• 54:13
  of
• 54:14
  the
• 54:15
  turning
• 54:15
  for
• 54:16
  the
• 54:17
  different
• 54:17
  stuff.
• 54:18
  I
• 54:18
  don't
• 54:18
  know.
• 54:18
  Yeah,
• 54:20
  yeah.
• 54:21
  Whatever
• 54:21
  happened,
• 54:22
  happened
• 54:22
  then.
• 54:23
  That's
• 54:24
  that.
• 54:24
  Now,
• 54:25
  the
• 54:25
  great
• 54:25
  Sandy
• 54:26
  Alderson.
• 54:26
  Wally,
• 54:27
  you
• 54:27
  had
• 54:27
  differences
• 54:28
  with
• 54:28
  him,
• 54:29
  to
• 54:29
  say
• 54:29
  the
• 54:29
  least.
• 54:29
  Have
• 54:29
  you
• 54:30
  mended
• 54:30
  any
• 54:30
  fences
• 54:31
  with
• 54:31
  Sandy
• 54:31
  Alderson?
• 54:33
  Absolutely
• 54:34
  not.
• 54:34
  Gotcha.
• 54:35
  Okay.
• 54:36
  Bad
• 54:36
  person.
• 54:37
  Yeah,
• 54:38
  bad
• 54:38
  person.
• 54:40
  Yeah.
• 54:40
  I
• 54:40
  remember
• 54:41
  I
• 54:41
  wanted
• 54:42
  to
• 54:42
  get
• 54:42
  you
• 54:42
  on
• 54:43
  the
• 54:43
  show
• 54:44
  when
• 54:44
  you
• 54:44
  were
• 54:44
  managing
• 54:45
  the
• 54:46
  51s
• 54:47
  and
• 54:47
  they
• 54:47
  wouldn't
• 54:48
  let
• 54:48
  me
• 54:48
  have
• 54:48
  you
• 54:49
  because
• 54:49
  they
• 54:49
  were
• 54:49
  afraid
• 54:50
  of
• 54:50
  what
• 54:50
  you'd
• 54:50
  say.
• 54:51
  I
• 54:51
  remember
• 54:51
  that
• 54:52
  that
• 54:52
  was
• 54:52
  the
• 54:52
  reason.
• 54:53
  Well,
• 54:53
  you
• 54:54
  know
• 54:54
  what,
• 54:54
  I
• 54:54
  retired
• 54:55
  for
• 54:55
  a
• 54:55
  couple
• 54:55
  years.
• 54:55
  I
• 54:55
  think
• 54:56
  I'm
• 54:56
  coming
• 54:56
  back
• 54:56
  this
• 54:57
  year.
• 54:57
  But
• 54:57
  bad
• 54:58
  person.
• 54:58
  I
• 54:59
  would
• 54:59
  tell
• 54:59
  him
• 54:59
  straight
• 55:00
  to
• 55:00
  his
• 55:00
  face
• 55:00
  he's
• 55:00
  a
• 55:00
  bad
• 55:01
  person.
• 55:01
  I'm
• 55:01
  telling
• 55:02
  you,
• 55:02
  he
• 55:02
  was
• 55:03
  a
• 55:03
  military
• 55:03
  man
• 55:04
  I
• 55:04
  wouldn't
• 55:04
  get
• 55:04
  in
• 55:04
  a
• 55:04
  foxhole
• 55:05
  with.
• 55:06
  Yeah,
• 55:07
  okay,
• 55:08
  enough
• 55:08
  said
• 55:08
  on
• 55:09
  that
• 55:09
  one,
• 55:09
  Wally.
• 55:10
  Now,
• 55:10
  as
• 55:11
  we
• 55:11
  were
• 55:11
  talking
• 55:12
  before
• 55:13
  texting
• 55:13
  each
• 55:14
  other,
• 55:15
  you're
• 55:15
  coming
• 55:15
  out
• 55:16
  back
• 55:16
  to
• 55:16
  Long
• 55:16
  island
• 55:17
  this
• 55:17
  weekend.
• 55:18
  I
• 55:19
  am
• 55:19
  coming
• 55:19
  back.
• 55:19
  I'm
• 55:20
  going
• 55:20
  to
• 55:20
  go
• 55:20
  to
• 55:22
  shoot.
• 55:22
  I'm
• 55:23
  trying
• 55:23
  to
• 55:23
  remember.
• 55:23
  I
• 55:23
  think
• 55:24
  it's
• 55:24
  Aiders.
• 55:24
  It's
• 55:25
  the
• 55:25
  tavern
• 55:25
  in
• 55:25
  Union
• 55:26
  beach
• 55:26
  in
• 55:27
  Jersey.
• 55:29
  I
• 55:29
  had
• 55:30
  the
• 55:31
  Long
• 55:31
  island
• 55:32
  location
• 55:32
  up
• 55:33
  here,
• 55:33
  but
• 55:33
  I
• 55:33
  lost
• 55:33
  it
• 55:34
  on
• 55:34
  Facebook.
• 55:35
  No,
• 55:35
  that's
• 55:36
  from
• 55:36
  like
• 55:36
  12
• 55:37
  to
• 55:37
  2
• 55:37
  on
• 55:37
  Saturday.
• 55:38
  Then
• 55:38
  I
• 55:38
  go
• 55:38
  to
• 55:38
  the
• 55:39
  Radisson
• 55:39
  Hotel,
• 55:39
  which
• 55:40
  is
• 55:41
  all
• 55:41
  the
• 55:42
  players
• 55:42
  stayed
• 55:42
  at
• 55:43
  on
• 55:43
  Long
• 55:43
  Island.
• 55:44
  Yeah,
• 55:45
  and
• 55:45
  it's
• 55:46
  a,
• 55:47
  you
• 55:47
  know,
• 55:47
  it's
• 55:48
  like
• 55:49
  pictures,
• 55:50
  photos.
• 55:51
  We
• 55:51
  got
• 55:51
  pre
• 55:51
  orders.
• 55:54
  They
• 55:54
  can
• 55:54
  get
• 55:54
  it
• 55:55
  on
• 55:55
  Eventbrite
• 55:56
  or
• 55:56
  they
• 55:56
  can
• 55:56
  go
• 55:57
  to
• 55:57
  wallybackman.com
• 55:58
  and
• 55:59
  the
• 55:59
  one
• 55:59
  thing
• 55:59
  I
• 56:00
  wanted
• 56:00
  to
• 56:00
  let
• 56:00
  you
• 56:00
  know,
• 56:00
  bill,
• 56:01
  is
• 56:02
  over
• 56:02
  80%
• 56:03
  of
• 56:03
  the
• 56:03
  money
• 56:04
  that
• 56:05
  I
• 56:05
  don't
• 56:05
  do
• 56:05
  many
• 56:06
  of
• 56:06
  these
• 56:07
  and
• 56:07
  over
• 56:07
  80%
• 56:08
  of
• 56:08
  the
• 56:08
  money
• 56:09
  goes
• 56:10
  to
• 56:10
  tunnel
• 56:10
  to
• 56:10
  towers
• 56:11
  into
• 56:11
  St.
• 56:11
  Jude.
• 56:12
  So
• 56:12
  it's
• 56:13
  not
• 56:13
  something
• 56:14
  I'm
• 56:14
  trying
• 56:14
  to
• 56:14
  make
• 56:14
  money
• 56:15
  at.
• 56:15
  Trust
• 56:15
  me,
• 56:16
  if
• 56:16
  I
• 56:17
  was
• 56:17
  trying
• 56:17
  to
• 56:17
  make
• 56:17
  money,
• 56:17
  I
• 56:18
  wouldn't
• 56:18
  be
• 56:18
  donating
• 56:19
  this
• 56:19
  money
• 56:19
  to
• 56:19
  them.
• 56:19
  But
• 56:20
  that's
• 56:20
  what
• 56:20
  I
• 56:20
  do.
• 56:20
  I
• 56:20
  mean,
• 56:21
  it's
• 56:22
  few
• 56:22
  and
• 56:22
  far
• 56:23
  between.
• 56:24
  If
• 56:24
  the
• 56:24
  radisson
• 56:25
  on
• 56:25
  the
• 56:25
  18th
• 56:26
  is
• 56:26
  that
• 56:26
  Saturday

  evening,
• 56:27
  it
• 56:27
  starts
• 56:28
  at
• 56:28
  5
• 56:28
  o'
• 56:28
  clock
• 56:29
  and
• 56:29
  they
• 56:30
  can
• 56:30
  watch
• 56:30
  the
• 56:30
  game.
• 56:31
  There's
• 56:31
  free
• 56:31
  orders
• 56:35
  and,
• 56:35
  you
• 56:35
  know,
• 56:36
  they
• 56:36
  can
• 56:36
  take
• 56:36
  pictures
• 56:37
  with
• 56:37
  me,
• 56:38
  whatever.
• 56:38
  I
• 56:39
  can
• 56:39
  sign
• 56:39
  autographs
• 56:40
  for
• 56:40
  them.
• 56:41
  I
• 56:41
  don't
• 56:42
  know
• 56:42
  what
• 56:42
  they're
• 56:42
  charged.
• 56:42
  I
• 56:43
  think
• 56:43
  they're
• 56:43
  charged
• 56:43
  like
• 56:44
  50
• 56:44
  bucks
• 56:44
  a
• 56:44
  person.
• 56:45
  But
• 56:45
  they
• 56:45
  can
• 56:45
  get
• 56:45
  it
• 56:46
  all
• 56:46
  on
• 56:46
  Wallybacklin.com
• 56:47
  or
• 56:48
  they
• 56:48
  can.
• 56:50
  They
• 56:50
  could
• 56:50
  also
• 56:51
  send
• 56:51
  it
• 56:52
  to
• 56:54
  Tyler
• 56:59
  Onslaught
• 57:00
  on
• 57:02
  social
• 57:02
  media
• 57:02
  om
• 57:04
  that
• 57:05
  they
• 57:05
  could
• 57:05
  send
• 57:05
  it
• 57:05
  to
• 57:05
  him.
• 57:06
  And
• 57:06
  he's
• 57:07
  the
• 57:07
  one
• 57:07
  that
• 57:07
  tried
• 57:08
  to
• 57:08
  set
• 57:08
  this
• 57:08
  up.
• 57:09
  But
• 57:10
  it's
• 57:11
  not
• 57:11
  a
• 57:11
  money
• 57:11
  maker.
• 57:12
  It's
• 57:12
  more
• 57:12
  a
• 57:13
  fundraiser
• 57:14
  for
• 57:15
  those
• 57:15
  two
• 57:15
  people.
• 57:15
  And
• 57:17
  it's
• 57:17
  just
• 57:17
  something
• 57:19
  we
• 57:19
  all
• 57:19
  know
• 57:19
  how
• 57:20
  the
• 57:20
  world
• 57:20
  is.
• 57:20
  So
• 57:21
  it's
• 57:21
  all
• 57:21
  something
• 57:21
  about
• 57:21
  giving
• 57:22
  back.
• 57:22
  And
• 57:23
  you
• 57:23
  do
• 57:23
  that.
• 57:23
  Wally
• 57:24
