  As

  always
• 0:33
  say,
• 0:34
  I
• 0:35
  would

  remiss

  in

  not

• 0:44
  comprise
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  Class
• 0:46
  of

  two

  former

• 1:00
  They

  are
• 1:02
  Richie
• 1:02
  Allen
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  Dave
• 1:03
  Parker.
• 1:04
  Really
• 1:05
  two
• 1:05
  deserving
• 1:05
  men.
• 1:06
  I
• 1:06
  just
• 1:06
  feel
• 1:07
  bad
• 1:07
  that
• 1:07
  Dick
• 1:07
  Allen's
• 1:08
  election
• 1:08
  comes
• 1:09
  posthumously.
• 1:10
  He
• 1:10
  was
• 1:11
  one
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  most
• 1:11
  feared
• 1:12
  sluggers
• 1:13
  of
• 1:13
  his
• 1:13
  era.
• 1:14
  I
• 1:14
  always
• 1:14
  remember
• 1:15
  him
• 1:15
  killing
• 1:15
  the
• 1:16
  Mets,
• 1:16
  but
• 1:17
  everybody
• 1:17
  killed
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  Mets.
• 1:18
  As
• 1:18
  I
• 1:18
  said
• 1:18
  to
• 1:19
  Mark
• 1:19
  Metcalf
• 1:20
  earlier,
• 1:21
  talking
• 1:21
  about
• 1:21
  Freddie
• 1:21
  Freeman,
• 1:22
  he
• 1:22
  was
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  tremendously
• 1:24
  strong
• 1:24
  power
• 1:25
  hitter,
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  rookie
• 1:25
  of
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  year
• 1:27
  and
• 1:27
  an
• 1:27
  mvp.
• 1:28
  And
• 1:28
  Dave
• 1:28
  Parker,
• 1:29
  again,
• 1:29
  was
• 1:29
  a
• 1:30
  feared
• 1:30
  slugger
• 1:30
  of
• 1:31
  his
• 1:31
  generation.
• 1:32
  He
• 1:32
  had
• 1:32
  a
• 1:33
  cannon
• 1:33
  for
• 1:33
  an
• 1:33

• 1:34

  Now,
• 2:44
  we,
• 2:44
  growing
• 2:44
  up
• 2:44
  in
• 2:45
  California,
• 2:45
  who
• 2:45
  were
• 2:46
  your
• 2:46
  favorite
• 2:46
  players
• 2:47
  and
• 2:47
  teams
• 2:47
  while
• 2:47
  you
• 2:47
  were
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  kid?
• 2:49
  When
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  was
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  kid
• 2:50
  about
• 2:50
  the,
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  games
• 2:51
  you
• 2:51
  saw
• 2:51
  on
• 2:51
  TV
• 2:52
  was
• 2:52
  almost
• 2:52
  always
• 2:52
  the
• 2:53
  Yankees
• 2:53
  in
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  World
• 2:53
  Series.
• 2:54
  So
• 2:54
  obviously,
• 2:55
  like
• 2:56
  all
• 2:56
  my
• 2:56
  buddies,
• 2:57
  Mickey,
• 2:57
  man,
• 2:57
  was
• 2:58
  our
• 2:58
  big
• 2:58
  hero.
• 2:59
  And
• 2:59
  then
• 2:59
  when
• 2:59

• 3:00
  Dodgers
• 3:00
  moved
• 3:01
  West
• 3:01
  in
• 3:01
  57,
• 3:02
  I

• 3:03
  it
• 3:03
  was
• 3:03
  57,
• 3:04
  50,
• 3:05
  58,
• 3:06
  58.
• 3:06
  Then
• 3:07

  Ben
• 3:15

• 3:16
  from

• 3:19
  school.
• 3:19

• 3:20
  so
• 3:21
  the

  Dodgers,
• 3:22
  Dodgers,
• 3:22
  Dodgers.
• 3:22
  And
• 3:23
  also
• 3:23
  listen
• 3:23

• 3:24
  I
• 3:24

  of

  I

  don't
• 4:00

  I
• 4:01
  thought
• 4:01
  of

• 4:03
  country.
• 4:04
  And

  I.
• 4:05
  When
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  see
• 4:06
  some
• 4:06
  of
• 4:06
  these
• 4:06
  kids
• 4:07

• 4:07
  down
• 4:07

• 4:07
  streets
• 4:07
  practicing

• 4:08
  country,
• 4:09
  my
• 4:09
  whole
• 4:10
  body
• 4:10
  hurts
• 4:10
  because
• 4:10
  I
• 4:11
  know
• 4:11
  what
• 4:11
  it
• 4:11
  was
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  run
• 4:11
  in
• 4:11
  one
• 4:12
  of
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12

• 4:12
  And,
• 4:14
  you
• 4:14
  know,
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  played
• 4:15
  basketball
• 4:16
  for
• 4:17
  three
• 4:17
  years.
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  played
• 4:18
  football
• 4:19
  for
• 4:19

• 4:22
  hurt
• 4:22
  my
• 4:22
  back
• 4:23
  my
• 4:24
  first.
• 4:24
  The
• 4:25
  first
• 4:25
  week
• 4:25
  of
• 4:26
  practice
• 4:27
  on
• 4:27
  my
• 4:27
  sophomore
• 4:28
  year.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:28
  then,
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  course,
• 4:29
  I
• 4:29
  played
• 4:31
  baseball
• 4:31
  for
• 4:31
  three
• 4:32
  years.
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  kicked
• 4:32
  off
• 4:32
  the
• 4:33
  basketball
• 4:33
  team
• 4:34
  one
• 4:35
  year,
• 4:35
  so
• 4:35
  only
• 4:35
  played
• 4:35
  three
• 4:35
  years
• 4:36
  of
• 4:36
  that.
• 4:36
  But
• 4:37
  baseball,
• 4:37
  I
• 4:38
  quit
• 4:38
  baseball
• 4:38
  my
• 4:39
  freshman
• 4:39
  year,
• 4:39
  go
• 4:39
  off
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  the
• 4:40
  track
• 4:40
  team
• 4:40
  because
• 4:40
  my
• 4:40
  best
• 4:41
  buddy
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  on
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  track
• 4:41
  team.
• 4:42
  So
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  went
• 4:42
  out
• 4:42
  for
• 4:42
  track.
• 4:43
  So
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  was
• 4:43
  just
• 4:44
  doing
• 4:44
  a
• 4:44
  little
• 4:44
  bit
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  everything,
• 4:45
  you
• 4:45
  know.
• 4:45
  Yeah.
• 4:46
  When
• 4:46
  I
• 4:46
  was
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  eighth
• 4:47
  grade,
• 4:47
  eighth
• 4:47
  grade,
• 4:48
  they
• 4:48
  asked
• 4:49
  one
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  questions
• 4:50
  in
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  yearbook
• 4:51
  was,
• 4:52
  what
• 4:53
  do
• 4:53
  you
• 4:53
  want
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  do
• 4:53
  when
• 4:53
  you
• 4:53
  grow
• 4:54
  up?
• 4:54
  And
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  said,
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  want
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  be
• 4:55
  a
• 4:56
  professional
• 4:56
  football,
• 4:56
  basketball
• 4:57
  or
• 4:57
  baseball
• 4:57
  player.
• 4:58
  Now,
• 4:58
  who
• 4:58
  could
• 4:58
  ever
• 4:59
  think
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  that?
• 5:00
  That
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  my
• 5:00
  dream
• 5:01
  from
• 5:01
  those
• 5:01
  days,
• 5:01
  even.
• 5:02
  Well,
• 5:02
  you
• 5:02
  made
• 5:03
  it.
• 5:03
  You
• 5:04
  made
• 5:04
  it,
• 5:04
  George.
• 5:05
  Most
• 5:05
  people
• 5:05
  can't
• 5:06
  say
• 5:06
  that
• 5:07
  you
• 5:08
  turned
• 5:08
  down
• 5:08
  that
• 5:08
  offer
• 5:09
  from
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  Phillies
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  went
• 5:10
  to
• 5:10
  Bakersfield
• 5:11
  College
• 5:12
  for
• 5:13
  two
• 5:13
  years.
• 5:13
  You
• 5:13
  played
• 5:14
  baseball
• 5:14
  there.
• 5:15
  What
• 5:15
  made
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  want
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  turn
• 5:16
  down
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  offer
• 5:17
  from
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  big
• 5:18
  league
• 5:18
  club
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  stay
• 5:19
  in
• 5:20
  college?
• 5:21
  Well,
• 5:22
  first
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  all,
• 5:22
  my
• 5:23
  last
• 5:23
  high
• 5:23
  school
• 5:23
  game
• 5:24
  was
• 5:24
  against
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  team
• 5:25
  from
• 5:25
  Roosevelt
• 5:25
  High
• 5:26
  School
• 5:26
  here
• 5:26
  in
• 5:27
  Fresno.
• 5:28
  And
• 5:28
  they
• 5:28
  had
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  pitcher
• 5:29
  on
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  team
• 5:29
  by
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  name
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  Wade
• 5:30
  Blassian,
• 5:30
  who
• 5:30
  was
• 5:31
  27.
• 5:31
  And,
• 5:31
  oh,
• 5:31
  in
• 5:32
  high
• 5:32
  school,
• 5:32
  he's
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  number
• 5:33
  one
• 5:33
  pitching
• 5:33
  prospect
• 5:34
  in
• 5:34
  America.
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  remember
• 5:35
  him.
• 5:35
  Yeah.
• 5:36
  Yeah.
• 5:37
  Well,
• 5:37
  he
• 5:37
  was
• 5:37
  dynamite.
• 5:38
  And
• 5:38
  so
• 5:39
  we
• 5:39
  played
• 5:40
  him
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  semifinals
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  Valley
• 5:42
  championship.
• 5:43
  There
• 5:44
  was
• 5:44
  30,
• 5:44
  30
• 5:45
  scouts
• 5:45
  at
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  game.
• 5:46
  29
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  them
• 5:46
  watched
• 5:46
  him
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  one
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  them
• 5:47
  watched
• 5:47
  me.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:48
  so
• 5:49
  I
• 5:50
  held
• 5:50
  My
• 5:50
  own
• 5:50
  against
• 5:51
  him.
• 5:51
  We
• 5:51
  both
• 5:52
  pitched
• 5:52
  14
• 5:52
  innings,
• 5:53
  if
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  can
• 5:53
  believe
• 5:53
  that.
• 5:54
  Don't
• 5:54
  ask
• 5:55
  when,
• 5:55
  pitch
• 5:55
  me
• 5:55
  through,
• 5:56
  but
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  wouldn't
• 5:56
  have
• 5:56
  probably
• 5:57
  300
• 5:57
  each.
• 5:58
  We
• 5:59
  played
• 5:59
  14
• 5:59
  innings
• 6:01
  and
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  got
• 6:02
  beat
• 6:02
  42
• 6:03
  and
• 6:03
  14
• 6:04
  on
• 6:04
  a
• 6:05
  kind
• 6:05
  of
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  controversial
• 6:06
  foul
• 6:06
  ball
• 6:06
  called
• 6:07
  by
• 6:07
  our
• 6:08
  own
• 6:08
  Bakersfield
• 6:09
  umpire,
• 6:09
  Bob
• 6:09
  Engle,
• 6:10
  who
• 6:10
  you've
• 6:10
  probably
• 6:10
  heard
• 6:10
  of.
• 6:11
  Yes,
• 6:11
  Bob
• 6:11
  Angle,
• 6:13
  it's
• 6:13
  from
• 6:13
  here.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:14
  so
• 6:14
  anyway,
• 6:15
  so
• 6:16
  later,
• 6:17
  blessing
• 6:18
  him
• 6:18
  signed
• 6:18
  with
• 6:18
  the
• 6:19
  Braves
• 6:19
  for
• 6:19
  150,000.
• 6:21
  So
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Phillies
• 6:21
  called
• 6:22
  me
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  made
• 6:22
  me
• 6:22
  an
• 6:22
  offer
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  1,000.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:24
  I
• 6:24
  thought,
• 6:24
  oh
• 6:24
  God.
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  mean
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  catch
• 6:25
  fortunate
• 6:26
  guy
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  he
• 6:26
  gets
• 6:27
  150
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  get
• 6:28
  one.
• 6:28
  So
• 6:29
  anyway,
• 6:30
  I
• 6:31
  called
• 6:31
  my
• 6:31
  mom,
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  said
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  got
• 6:32
  offered
• 6:33
  $1,000
• 6:33
  on
• 6:33
  my
• 6:34
  ticket.
• 6:34
  And
• 6:34
  she
• 6:34
  said,
• 6:34
  have
• 6:34
  you
• 6:35
  talked
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  baseball
• 6:36
  college
• 6:36
  coach,
• 6:36
  Jerry
• 6:36
  Collis?
• 6:38
  And
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  said
• 6:38
  no.
• 6:39
  So
• 6:39
  I
• 6:40
  called
• 6:40
  Jerry
• 6:40
  and
• 6:41
  told
• 6:41
  him
• 6:41
  or
• 6:41
  talked
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  him
• 6:41
  in
• 6:42
  person,
• 6:42
  I
• 6:42
  can't
• 6:42
  remember.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  I
• 6:43
  told
• 6:43
  him
• 6:43
  about
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  offer.
• 6:44
  He
• 6:44
  said,
• 6:45
  thousand
• 6:45
  dollars,
• 6:45
  there's
• 6:46
  no
• 6:46
  way
• 6:46
  you're
• 6:46
  going
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  sign
• 6:47
  for
• 6:47
  $1,000.
• 6:47
  He
• 6:48
  said,
• 6:48
  you
• 6:48
  come
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  DC
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  I'll
• 6:49
  get
• 6:49
  you
• 6:50
  10,000.
• 6:51
  And
• 6:51
  my
• 6:51
  mom
• 6:51
  said,
• 6:51
  okay,
• 6:52
  you're
• 6:52
  going
• 6:52
  to
• 6:52
  BC.
• 6:53
  So
• 6:53
  that
• 6:53
  was
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  end
• 6:53
  of
• 6:54
  that.
• 6:54
  And
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  best
• 6:55
  thing
• 6:55
  ever
• 6:55
  did.
• 6:56
  Jerry
• 6:56
  College
• 6:57
  was
• 6:57
  absolutely
• 6:57
  the
• 6:58
  greatest
• 6:58
  thing
• 6:58
  ever
• 6:58
  happened
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  me.
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  didn't
• 6:59
  have
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  dad
• 7:00
  growing
• 7:00
  up
• 7:01
  and
• 7:01
  he
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  just
• 7:01
  like,
• 7:02
  just
• 7:02
  like
• 7:02
  my
• 7:02
  father.
• 7:03
  So
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  was
• 7:03
  just
• 7:04
  honored
• 7:04
  to,
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  lucky
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  blessed
• 7:06
  to
• 7:07
  have
• 7:07
  him
• 7:07
  as
• 7:07
  a
• 7:07
  coach.
• 7:08
  All
• 7:08
  worthwhile
• 7:09
  then.
• 7:09
  We're
• 7:09
  speaking
• 7:09
  with
• 7:10
  George
• 7:10
  Culver
• 7:10
  tonight
• 7:11
  on
• 7:11
  Sports
• 7:11
  Talk
• 7:12
  New
• 7:12
  York.
• 7:12
  Now,
• 7:13
  eventually,
• 7:14
  you
• 7:14
  must
• 7:14
  have
• 7:15
  been
• 7:15
  thrilled
• 7:15
  by
• 7:15
  this,
• 7:15
  George.
• 7:16
  You
• 7:16
  got
• 7:16
  signed
• 7:16
  by
• 7:16
  the
• 7:17
  Yankees
• 7:17
  as
• 7:17
  an
• 7:17
  amateur
• 7:18
  free
• 7:18
  agent
• 7:18
  in
• 7:19
  63,
• 7:20
  but
• 7:20
  they
• 7:20
  only
• 7:20
  gave
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  2,500.
• 7:23
  Yeah,
• 7:24
  no
• 7:24
  coach
• 7:25
  lied
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  me.
• 7:27
  Well,
• 7:28
  what
• 7:29
  happened
• 7:29
  was
• 7:30
  when
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  signed
• 7:30
  with
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  Yankees,
• 7:31
  that
• 7:31
  was
• 7:32
  my
• 7:32
  sophomore
• 7:32
  year,
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  wasn't,
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  wouldn't,
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  didn't
• 7:34
  do
• 7:34
  very
• 7:35
  well
• 7:35
  as
• 7:35
  a
• 7:35
  sophomore.
• 7:35
  I
• 7:35
  started
• 7:36
  goofing
• 7:36
  around,
• 7:37
  going
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  parties
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  drinking
• 7:39
  and
• 7:39
  not
• 7:40
  paying
• 7:40
  attention
• 7:40
  while.
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  was
• 7:40
  doing
• 7:40
  it.
• 7:40
  I
• 7:41
  just
• 7:41
  thought
• 7:41
  I
• 7:41
  had
• 7:41
  a
• 7:41
  really
• 7:42
  good
• 7:42
  freshman
• 7:42
  year.
• 7:42
  And
• 7:42
  I
• 7:43
  thought,
• 7:43
  well,
• 7:43
  this
• 7:43
  secondary
• 7:44
  be
• 7:44
  easy.
• 7:44
  Well,
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  was
• 7:46
  not
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  case.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:47
  so
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  lot
• 7:48
  of,
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  lot
• 7:48
  of
• 7:49
  people
• 7:49
  who
• 7:49
  were
• 7:49
  interested
• 7:49
  as
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  freshman
• 7:51
  kind
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  backed
• 7:51
  off
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  me.
• 7:52
  So
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  only
• 7:52
  offer
• 7:53
  I
• 7:53
  really
• 7:53
  got
• 7:53
  was
• 7:53
  from
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  Yankees,
• 7:54
  the
• 7:55
  2500.
• 7:55
  And
• 7:56
  so
• 7:56
  but
• 7:57
  in
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  contract
• 7:57
  he
• 7:57
  said
• 7:58
  if
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  play
• 7:58
  double
• 7:59
  A
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  90
• 8:01
  days,
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  get
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  thousand
• 8:02
  thousand
• 8:03
  dollar
• 8:03
  bonus.
• 8:04
  If
• 8:04
  you
• 8:05
  play,
• 8:05
  I
• 8:06
  guess
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  fifteen
• 8:06
  hundred
• 8:07
  dollar
• 8:07
  bonus,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  play,
• 8:12
  I'm
• 8:12
  sorry,
• 8:12
  triple
• 8:12
  A
• 8:13
  for
• 8:13
  nine
• 8:13
  days
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  get
• 8:13
  2500.
• 8:14
  If
• 8:14
  you
• 8:14
  play
• 8:14
  major
• 8:15
  league
• 8:15
  for
• 8:15
  nine
• 8:15
  days,
• 8:15
  you
• 8:16
  get
• 8:16
  5000.
• 8:16
  So
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  did
• 8:17
  all
• 8:17
  those.
• 8:18
  Guess
• 8:18
  what
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  total
• 8:19
  was.
• 8:19
  $10,000.
• 8:20
  Yeah.
• 8:25
  Now
• 8:25
  do
• 8:25
  you
• 8:26
  remember
• 8:26
  your
• 8:26
  major
• 8:26
  league
• 8:27
  debut,
• 8:27
  George?
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  remember
• 8:30
  very
• 8:30
  well.
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  pitched
• 8:31
  against
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  Boston
• 8:32
  Red
• 8:32
  Sox
• 8:32
  in
• 8:32
  1966,
• 8:34
  Cleveland
• 8:34
  in
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  Mistake
• 8:35
  by
• 8:35
  the
• 8:36
  Lake.
• 8:37
  There's
• 8:38
  probably
• 8:38
  three
• 8:38
  or
• 8:38
  four
• 8:39
  thousand
• 8:39
  people
• 8:39
  at
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  game
• 8:39
  to
• 8:40
  see
• 8:40
  me.
• 8:41
  And
• 8:42
  so
• 8:42
  I
• 8:42
  got
• 8:43
  through
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  first
• 8:43
  four
• 8:43
  innings
• 8:44
  okay
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  then
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  left
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  couple
• 8:46
  guys
• 8:46
  on
• 8:46
  in
• 8:46
  the
• 8:47
  fifth
• 8:47
  inning
• 8:47
  and
• 8:49
  they
• 8:49
  brought
• 8:50
  my
• 8:51
  best
• 8:51
  buddy
• 8:51
  in
• 8:51
  to
• 8:52
  relieve
• 8:52
  me
• 8:52
  and
• 8:52
  he
• 8:52
  served
• 8:53
  up
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  three
• 8:53
  run
• 8:53
  home
• 8:53
  run
• 8:54
  person.
• 8:54
  I'd
• 8:54
  given
• 8:55
  up
• 8:55
  like
• 8:55
  five
• 8:56
  runs
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  I
• 8:57
  really
• 8:57
  pitched
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  lot
• 8:58
  better
• 8:58
  than
• 8:58
  that.
• 8:58
  But
• 8:59
  anyway,
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  got
• 8:59
  lost
• 9:00
  and
• 9:00
  that
• 9:00
  was
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  only
• 9:00
  game
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  got
• 9:01
  start
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  whole
• 9:01
  time
• 9:02
  I
• 9:03
  was
• 9:03
  never
• 9:03
  really
• 9:04
  ever.
• 9:05
  And
• 9:05
  they
• 9:05
  put
• 9:05
  me
• 9:05
  in
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  bullpen.
• 9:06
  Yeah.
• 9:07
  Oh
• 9:07
  boy.
• 9:08
  Now
• 9:09
  I
• 9:09
  read
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  first
• 9:10
  battle
• 9:10
  you
• 9:10
  face
• 9:10
  was
• 9:11
  good
• 9:11
  old
• 9:12
  Jose
• 9:12
  Tartable.
• 9:14
  Yeah,
• 9:14
  Jose
• 9:15
  was.
• 9:15
  I
• 9:15
  played
• 9:15
  against
• 9:16
  him
• 9:16
  in
• 9:16
  winter
• 9:16
  ball
• 9:16
  so
• 9:17
  I
• 9:18
  kind
• 9:18
  of
• 9:18
  knew
• 9:19
  him
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  he
• 9:20
  was
• 9:20
  a
• 9:20
  great
• 9:20
  player.
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  mean
• 9:21
  he
• 9:21
  wasn't,
• 9:22
  you
• 9:22
  know
• 9:22
  a
• 9:22
  hall
• 9:23
  of
• 9:23
  fame
• 9:23
  guy
• 9:23
  or
• 9:24
  he
• 9:24
  probably
• 9:25
  made
• 9:25
  some
• 9:25
  all
• 9:25
  star
• 9:25
  teams,
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  don't
• 9:26
  know.
• 9:26
  But
• 9:26
  he
• 9:26
  was
• 9:26
  tough
• 9:26
  out
• 9:27
  and
• 9:30
  67.
• 9:31
  They
• 9:31
  played
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  World
• 9:32
  Series.
• 9:32
  So
• 9:32
  this,
• 9:33
  this,
• 9:33
  this
• 9:33
  team
• 9:34
  was
• 9:34
  pretty
• 9:34
  good.
• 9:34
  Especially
• 9:35
  that
• 9:36
  left
• 9:36
  handed
• 9:37
  here
• 9:37
  they
• 9:37
  had
• 9:38
  number,
• 9:38
  number
• 9:39
  eight.
• 9:40
  Oh
• 9:40
  yeah,
• 9:41
  wore
• 9:41
  me
• 9:41
  out,
• 9:42
  wore
• 9:42
  me
• 9:43
  out.
• 9:43
  And
• 9:44
  he
• 9:44
  wore
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  whole
• 9:45
  staff
• 9:45
  out
• 9:45
  in
• 9:45
  Cleveland.
• 9:46
  In
• 9:47
  67
• 9:49
  he
• 9:49
  hit
• 9:50
  over
• 9:50
  500
• 9:50
  against
• 9:51
  us.
• 9:51
  Our
• 9:51
  whole
• 9:51
  team
• 9:52
  over
• 9:52
  500
• 9:52
  against.
• 9:53
  So
• 9:53
  he
• 9:54
  was
• 9:54
  in
• 9:54
  that
• 9:54
  lineup.
• 9:55
  It
• 9:55
  was
• 9:55
  a
• 9:56
  good
• 9:56
  lineup.
• 9:56
  Really
• 9:56
  good.
• 9:57
  For
• 9:57
  folks
• 9:57
  who
• 9:57
  may
• 9:58
  not
• 9:58
  know
• 9:58
  who
• 9:58
  you're
• 9:58
  talking
• 9:59
  about,
• 9:59
  George.
• 9:59
  Folks,

• 10:00
  is

  Sox.
• 10:07
  And
• 10:07
  talking

  Tartibel

  also
• 10:09
  was
• 10:10
  a
• 10:10
  member
• 10:10
  of
• 10:10
  that
• 10:10
  67
• 10:12
  Impossible

  Dream

  pennant
• 10:17
  that
• 10:18
  year.
• 10:19
  And
• 10:20
  just
• 10:20
  a
• 10:20
  great
• 10:20
  ball
• 10:21
  club
• 10:21
  now
• 10:21
  you're
• 10:22
  no
• 10:22
  hitter,
• 10:22
  George.
• 10:23
  July
• 10:24
  29,
• 10:25
  1968.
• 10:29
  Yeah,
• 10:29
  well
• 10:29
  that
• 10:30
  I
• 10:30
  was
• 10:30
  sure.
• 10:31
  But
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  know
• 10:31
  what?
• 10:31
  The
• 10:31
  good
• 10:32
  Lord
• 10:32
  looked
• 10:32
  down
• 10:32
  at
• 10:32
  me
• 10:32
  and
• 10:33
  said
• 10:33
  this
• 10:33
  is
• 10:33
  your
• 10:34
  day,
• 10:34
  don't
• 10:34
  screw
• 10:34
  it
• 10:34
  up.
• 10:36
  Everything
• 10:37
  worked
• 10:37
  out.
• 10:38
  I
• 10:38
  mean
• 10:38
  I
• 10:38
  went
• 10:38
  to
• 10:38
  ballpark
• 10:39
  sick
• 10:40
  second
• 10:40
  game
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  double
• 10:40
  header.
• 10:41
  I
• 10:41
  didn't
• 10:41
  go
• 10:41
  out
• 10:41
  for
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  first
• 10:42
  game
• 10:42
  because
• 10:43
  when
• 10:44
  you
• 10:44
  in
• 10:44
  those
• 10:44
  days
• 10:45
  they
• 10:45
  would
• 10:46
  tell
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  to
• 10:46
  stay
• 10:46
  back
• 10:46
  and
• 10:47
  come
• 10:47
  back
• 10:47
  out
• 10:47
  for
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  second
• 10:48
  game.
• 10:48
  So
• 10:48
  I
• 10:49
  came
• 10:49
  back
• 10:49
  out
• 10:50
  for
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  second
• 10:50
  game.
• 10:51
  Well,
• 10:51
  the
• 10:52
  game
• 10:52
  was
• 10:52
  one
• 10:52
  of
• 10:52
  them
• 10:53
  three
• 10:53
  and
• 10:53
  a
• 10:53
  half
• 10:53
  hour
• 10:54
  marathon.
• 10:54
  So
• 10:54
  when
• 10:55
  I
• 10:55
  sat,
• 10:56
  sat,
• 10:56
  sat,
• 10:57
  sat
• 10:57
  and
• 10:57
  finally
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  second
• 10:59
  game
• 10:59
  started,
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  must
• 10:59
  say
• 11:00
  right
• 11:00
  around
• 11:00
  11
• 11:00
  o'clock
• 11:01
  at
• 11:01
  night.
• 11:01
  Oh
• 11:02
  boy.
• 11:02
  And
• 11:03
  warm
• 11:03
  up
• 11:05
  and
• 11:05
  Lee
• 11:06
  May,
• 11:06
  my
• 11:06
  first
• 11:07
  baseman,
• 11:08
  we
• 11:08
  were
• 11:08
  teammates
• 11:08
  in
• 11:08
  winterball
• 11:09
  that
• 11:09
  year.
• 11:09
  He
• 11:09
  stepped
• 11:10
  on
• 11:10
  my
• 11:10
  toe
• 11:10
  in
• 11:10
  winterball
• 11:11
  and
• 11:12
  the
• 11:12
  toe
• 11:12
  kept
• 11:12
  getting
• 11:13
  worse
• 11:13
  and
• 11:13
  worse
• 11:13
  so
• 11:14
  became
• 11:15
  infected
• 11:16
  ingrown
• 11:17
  toenail.
• 11:17
  So
• 11:17
  I
• 11:18
  went
• 11:18
  down
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  warm
• 11:18
  up
• 11:20
  and
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  couldn't
• 11:21
  even
• 11:21
  put
• 11:21
  my
• 11:21
  shoe
• 11:21
  on.
• 11:22
  And
• 11:22
  without,
• 11:23
  without
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  pain.
• 11:24
  So
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  ran
• 11:24
  back
• 11:24
  up
• 11:24
  in
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  locker
• 11:25
  room.
• 11:25
  The
• 11:25
  guy
• 11:26
  trainer
• 11:26
  shot
• 11:26
  me
• 11:26
  for
• 11:27
  Nova
• 11:27
  Cane.
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  go
• 11:28
  back
• 11:29
  down
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  field.
• 11:30
  By
• 11:30
  that
• 11:30
  time
• 11:30
  the
• 11:30
  umpires
• 11:31
  are
• 11:31
  out
• 11:32
  and
• 11:32
  both
• 11:32
  manager
• 11:33
  out
• 11:33
  giving
• 11:33
  up
• 11:33
  the
• 11:33
  lineups.
• 11:34
  I
• 11:34
  ain't
• 11:34
  even
• 11:34
  throwing
• 11:34
  a
• 11:34
  ball.
• 11:35
  And
• 11:36
  so
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  grabbed
• 11:36
  Pat
• 11:37
  Kraus,
• 11:37
  who's
• 11:37
  my
• 11:37
  catcher.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:39
  I
• 11:39
  don't
• 11:39
  know
• 11:39
  if
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  remember
• 11:39
  this
• 11:40
  or
• 11:40
  not,
• 11:40
  but
• 11:40
  in
• 11:40
  those
• 11:41
  days
• 11:41
  a
• 11:41
  lot
• 11:41
  of
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  dugout,
• 11:42
  a
• 11:42
  lot
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  bullpen
• 11:43
  warm
• 11:43
  up
• 11:44
  mounts
• 11:44
  were
• 11:44
  in
• 11:44
  front
• 11:44
  of
• 11:44
  the
• 11:44
  dugout,
• 11:45
  right?
• 11:45
  Yeah,
• 11:46
  I
• 11:46
  remember
• 11:47
  right
• 11:47
  in
• 11:47
  front
• 11:48
  of
• 11:48
  the
• 11:48
  pan.
• 11:48
  And
• 11:49
  so
• 11:49
  I
• 11:50
  grabbed
• 11:50
  him.
• 11:50
  I
• 11:50
  probably
• 11:51
  threw
• 11:51
  15
• 11:51
  pitchers
• 11:52
  and
• 11:52
  then
• 11:52
  the
• 11:52
  game
• 11:52
  started.
• 11:53
  So
• 11:54
  I
• 11:54
  started
• 11:54
  out
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  game
• 11:55
  just
• 11:55
  kind
• 11:55
  of,
• 11:56
  kind
• 11:56
  of
• 11:56
  careful
• 11:57
  about
• 11:57
  how
• 11:57
  I
• 11:57
  was
• 11:57
  doing
• 11:58
  it.
• 11:58
  And
• 11:59
  after
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  first
• 12:00
  inning,
• 12:00
  second
• 12:01
  inning,
• 12:02
  Richie
• 12:02
  Allen
• 12:02
  hit
• 12:03
  a
• 12:03
  ground
• 12:03
  ball
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  Tony
• 12:04
  Perez,
• 12:05
  our
• 12:05
  third
• 12:05
  baseman
• 12:06
  who
• 12:06
  wasn't
• 12:06
  really
• 12:06
  a
• 12:06
  third
• 12:07
  baseman,
• 12:07
  but
• 12:07
  Lee
• 12:08
  May
• 12:08
  was
• 12:08
  our
• 12:08
  first
• 12:08
  baseman.
• 12:09
  So
• 12:09
  they
• 12:09
  got
• 12:09
  them
• 12:09
  both
• 12:10
  in
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  lineup
• 12:10
  that
• 12:10
  way.
• 12:11
  And
• 12:12
  it
• 12:12
  bounced
• 12:12
  off
• 12:12
  of
• 12:13
  Tony
• 12:13
  and
• 12:13
  went
• 12:13
  to
• 12:13
  Woody
• 12:14
  Woodward,
• 12:14
  our
• 12:14
  shortstop.
• 12:15
  And
• 12:15
  Woody
• 12:15
  threw
• 12:15
  in
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  stands.
• 12:17
  So
• 12:17
  Philadelphia,
• 12:18
  Richie
• 12:18
  Allen
• 12:19
  and
• 12:19
  three
• 12:19
  left
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  hit.
• 12:20
  And
• 12:20
  there
• 12:20
  never
• 12:20
  thought
• 12:20
  about,
• 12:21
  never
• 12:21
  thought
• 12:21
  any.
• 12:22
  So
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  think
• 12:23
  third
• 12:23
  or
• 12:24
  fourth
• 12:24
  thing
• 12:24
  I
• 12:24
  look
• 12:24
  up
• 12:25
  and
• 12:25
  they
• 12:25
  don't
• 12:25
  have
• 12:25
  any
• 12:26
  hits
• 12:26
  yet.
• 12:26
  And
• 12:26
  I
• 12:26
  said
• 12:26
  they're
• 12:27
  going
• 12:27
  to
• 12:27
  change
• 12:27
  that
• 12:27
  for
• 12:28
  sure.
• 12:28
  And
• 12:29
  they
• 12:29
  never
• 12:29
  did
• 12:29
  never
• 12:29
  change
• 12:30
  it.
• 12:30
  And
• 12:31
  they
• 12:31
  got
• 12:31
  to
• 12:32
  run,
• 12:33
  they
• 12:33
  got
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  run
• 12:34
  that
• 12:34
  inning.
• 12:34
  And
• 12:35
  there's
• 12:35
  one
• 12:35
  nothing
• 12:35
  for
• 12:35
  a
• 12:36
  couple
• 12:36
  innings
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  we
• 12:36
  finally
• 12:37
  got
• 12:37
  some
• 12:37
  runs
• 12:37
  and.
• 12:38
  And
• 12:38
  now
• 12:39
  by
• 12:39
  the
• 12:39
  sixth
• 12:39
  inning,
• 12:40
  what's
• 12:40
  left
• 12:41
  of
• 12:41
  the
• 12:41
  fans
• 12:41
  there
• 12:42
  probably,
• 12:42
  probably
• 12:43
  maybe
• 12:44
  2,
• 12:44
  2000,
• 12:45
  3000
• 12:45
  most
• 12:46
  at
• 12:46
  1:00
• 12:47
  in
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  morning
• 12:47
  in
• 12:48
  Philadelphia.
• 12:49
  They're
• 12:49
  behind
• 12:49
  our
• 12:50
  dugout
• 12:50
  rooting
• 12:50
  for
• 12:50
  me.
• 12:51
  Nice.
• 12:52
  Yeah,
• 12:53
  so.
• 12:55
  So
• 12:55
  anyway
• 12:55
  it
• 12:56
  was,
• 12:56
  it
• 12:56
  turned.
• 12:56
  I
• 12:57
  just.
• 12:57
  The
• 12:57
  last
• 12:57
  hitter
• 12:58
  was
• 12:58
  Cookie
• 12:58
  Row
• 12:58
  House,
• 12:59
  who
• 12:59
  was
• 12:59
  my
• 12:59
  manager
• 12:59
  in
• 13:00
  winter
• 13:00
  ball
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  year
• 13:00
  before.
• 13:01
  We're
• 13:02
  good,
• 13:02
  we
• 13:02
  just
• 13:02
  go
• 13:03
  drinking
• 13:03
  together
• 13:04
  after
• 13:05
  the
• 13:05
  games
• 13:06
  and
• 13:06
  in
• 13:07
  Puerto
• 13:07
  Rico
• 13:08
  and
• 13:09
  go
• 13:09
  drinking
• 13:09
  beer.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:10
  don't
• 13:10
  mean
• 13:10
  like
• 13:11
  drinking
• 13:11
  drinking,
• 13:11
  but
• 13:12
  we.
• 13:12
  He's
• 13:13
  the
• 13:13
  last
• 13:13
  hit.
• 13:14
  Cookie,
• 13:15
  please
• 13:15
  don't
• 13:16
  screw
• 13:16
  this
• 13:16
  up.
• 13:16
  This
• 13:17
  may
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  only
• 13:17
  chance
• 13:17
  of
• 13:18
  my
• 13:18
  life
• 13:18
  right
• 13:18
  there
• 13:18
  or
• 13:18
  something
• 13:19
  like
• 13:19
  this.
• 13:19
  So
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  tell
• 13:20
  him
• 13:20
  a
• 13:20
  little
• 13:20
  dinky
• 13:21
  little
• 13:21
  slider
• 13:21
  down
• 13:22
  the
• 13:22
  way
• 13:22
  and
• 13:22
  he
• 13:22
  popped
• 13:22
  up
• 13:22
  to
• 13:23
  first
• 13:23
  base
• 13:23
  and
• 13:24
  I
• 13:24
  would,
• 13:24
  I
• 13:25
  could
• 13:25
  have
• 13:25
  Caught
• 13:25
  the
• 13:26
  ball
• 13:26
  in
• 13:26
  midair.
• 13:26
  That's
• 13:27
  how
• 13:27
  high
• 13:27
  I
• 13:27
  was
• 13:27
  jumping.
• 13:28
  And
• 13:28
  so
• 13:29
  tremendous
• 13:30
  thrill.
• 13:30
  I
• 13:30
  mean,
• 13:31
  what
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  thrill
• 13:31
  for
• 13:31
  anybody.
• 13:32
  And
• 13:32
  I
• 13:32
  never
• 13:33
  pitched
• 13:33
  one
• 13:33
  in
• 13:33
  my
• 13:33
  life,
• 13:33
  ever.
• 13:34
  No.
• 13:34
  That's
• 13:36
  great
• 13:37
  feet.
• 13:37
  Yeah.
• 13:39
  And
• 13:39
  so
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  really
• 13:40
  didn't
• 13:40
  know
• 13:40
  how
• 13:40
  to
• 13:41
  act
• 13:41
  going,
• 13:41
  you
• 13:41
  know,
• 13:41
  as
• 13:41
  the
• 13:42
  game
• 13:42
  went
• 13:42
  on,
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  didn't
• 13:43
  know
• 13:43
  you're
• 13:43
  supposed
• 13:43
  to
• 13:43
  act.
• 13:43
  And
• 13:44
  so
• 13:44
  I
• 13:45
  know
• 13:45
  guys
• 13:45
  wouldn't
• 13:45
  talk
• 13:45
  to
• 13:46
  me
• 13:46
  and
• 13:46
  stuff
• 13:46
  like
• 13:46
  that.
• 13:47
  So
• 13:48
  I
• 13:48
  thought,
• 13:48
  well,
• 13:48
  maybe
• 13:48
  I'd
• 13:49
  have
• 13:49
  bad
• 13:50
  breath
• 13:50
  or
• 13:50
  something.
• 13:50
  Nobody
• 13:50
  would
• 13:51
  come
• 13:51
  around
• 13:51
  me.
• 13:52
  And
• 13:52
  so,
• 13:53
  anyway,
• 13:53
  it
• 13:53
  turned
• 13:54
  out
• 13:54
  as
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  big
• 13:54
  blessing
• 13:55
  from
• 13:55
  the
• 13:55
  big
• 13:56
  man
• 13:56
  upstairs
• 13:56
  and
• 13:57
  very
• 13:57
  thankful,
• 13:58
  because
• 13:58
  that's
• 13:58
  what
• 13:59
  people
• 13:59
  kind
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  remember
• 13:59
  me
• 14:00
  for.
• 14:00
  But
• 14:01
  people
• 14:01
  will
• 14:01
  ask
• 14:01
  me
• 14:01
  all
• 14:02
  the
• 14:02
  time,
• 14:02
  what's
• 14:02
  your
• 14:02
  biggest
• 14:02
  drill
• 14:03
  in
• 14:03
  baseball?
• 14:03
  You
• 14:03
  know,
• 14:03
  my
• 14:04
  biggest
• 14:04
  thrill
• 14:04
  was
• 14:05
  saying
• 14:06
  my
• 14:06
  name
• 14:06
  on
• 14:06
  a
• 14:06
  major
• 14:06
  league
• 14:07
  locker
• 14:07
  every
• 14:07
  day
• 14:07
  for
• 14:08
  nine
• 14:08
  years.
• 14:08
  Now
• 14:08
  that's
• 14:09
  a
• 14:09
  thrill.
• 14:09
  How
• 14:09
  many
• 14:10
  people
• 14:10
  get
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  do
• 14:10
  that?
• 14:11
  Not
• 14:11
  many,
• 14:11
  George.
• 14:12
  Yeah,
• 14:12
  that's
• 14:12
  a.
• 14:13
  That's
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  great
• 14:13
  point.
• 14:14
  A
• 14:15
  great
• 14:15
  thing
• 14:15
  to
• 14:15
  mention.
• 14:16
  Now,
• 14:16
  talking
• 14:17
  about
• 14:17
  Lee
• 14:17
  May
• 14:18
  stepping
• 14:18
  on
• 14:18
  your
• 14:18
  toe.
• 14:18
  Lee
• 14:19
  May
• 14:19
  was
• 14:19
  a
• 14:19
  big
• 14:19
  guy.
• 14:21
  Oh,
• 14:21
  yes.
• 14:22
  He
• 14:22
  was
• 14:22
  a
• 14:22
  tough
• 14:23
  guy,
• 14:25
  you
• 14:25
  know.
• 14:25
  So
• 14:26
  he
• 14:27
  stepped
• 14:27
  on
• 14:27
  my
• 14:27
  toe.
• 14:28
  Boy,
• 14:28
  that
• 14:28
  hurt.
• 14:28
  But
• 14:29
  it
• 14:29
  took
• 14:29
  forever.
• 14:30
  We
• 14:31
  kept
• 14:31
  doing
• 14:31
  all
• 14:32
  these
• 14:32
  different
• 14:32
  things
• 14:32
  to
• 14:32
  try
• 14:33
  to
• 14:33
  get
• 14:33
  the
• 14:33
  infection.
• 14:34
  I
• 14:34
  never
• 14:34
  did
• 14:35
  get.
• 14:35
  Never
• 14:36
  did
• 14:36
  get
• 14:36
  it
• 14:36
  out
• 14:36
  until
• 14:37
  then.
• 14:38
  Once
• 14:39
  I
• 14:40
  got
• 14:40
  back
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  Cincinnati
• 14:41
  after
• 14:41
  the
• 14:41
  game,
• 14:41
  they
• 14:42
  took
• 14:42
  me
• 14:42
  and
• 14:42
  did
• 14:42
  surgery
• 14:43
  on
• 14:43
  the
• 14:43
  toe,
• 14:44
  and
• 14:44
  it
• 14:44
  was
• 14:45
  okay
• 14:45
  for
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  rest
• 14:45
  of
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  year.
• 14:46
  So
• 14:47
  it
• 14:48
  wasn't
• 14:48
  really
• 14:48
  a
• 14:48
  big
• 14:49
  surgery,
• 14:49
  but
• 14:49
  it
• 14:49
  was.
• 14:50
  At
• 14:50
  least
• 14:51
  it
• 14:51
  got
• 14:52
  rid
• 14:52
  of
• 14:52
  the
• 14:52
  problem.
• 14:53
  I
• 14:53
  think
• 14:53
  he
• 14:53
  was
• 14:53
  involved
• 14:54
  with
• 14:54
  the
• 14:54
  Joe
• 14:54
  Morgan
• 14:55
  trade,
• 14:55
  bringing
• 14:55
  Morgan
• 14:56
  to
• 14:56
  the
• 14:56
  Reds.
• 14:57
  I
• 14:57
  think
• 14:57
  they
• 14:57
  sent
• 14:58
  Lee
• 14:58
  May
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  Houston
• 14:59
  for
• 15:00
  Joe
• 15:00
  Morgan,
• 15:00
  if
• 15:00
  I'm
• 15:01
  not
• 15:01
  mistaken.
• 15:01
  I'll
• 15:02
  have
• 15:02
  to
• 15:02
  look
• 15:02
  that
• 15:02
  one
• 15:02
  up
• 15:03
  when
• 15:03
  I
• 15:03
  get
• 15:03
  home.
• 15:04
  Yeah.
• 15:04
  Yeah.
• 15:04
  I
• 15:04
  was
• 15:04
  with
• 15:04
  the
• 15:05
  Astros,
• 15:05
  and
• 15:06
  they
• 15:06
  sent
• 15:06
  Lee
• 15:07
  May,
• 15:07
  Tommy
• 15:08
  Helms,
• 15:09
  Jimmy
• 15:09
  Stewart
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  the
• 15:11
  Reds
• 15:11
  for.
• 15:12
  To
• 15:13
  Dennis,
• 15:13
  Mickey,
• 15:14
  Joe.
• 15:14
  Joe
• 15:15
  Morgan,
• 15:17
  Sam
• 15:18
  Fielder,
• 15:19
  I
• 15:19
  can't
• 15:19
  remember
• 15:19
  his
• 15:19
  name,
• 15:20
  who
• 15:20
  left

  hitter
• 15:21
  and
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  couple
• 15:24
  other
• 15:24
  guys.
• 15:24
  And
• 15:25
  I
• 15:26
  always
• 15:26
  tell
• 15:26
  people
• 15:26
  that's
• 15:27
  what

  made
• 15:27
  Joe
• 15:27
  Morgan
• 15:27
  a
• 15:28
  Hall
• 15:28
  of
• 15:28
  Famer,

  around
• 15:29
  Pete
• 15:29
  Rose.

  Pete

  One

  Joe

  was
• 15:37
  just.
• 15:37
  He
• 15:37
  was

  a
• 15:37
  good
• 15:37
  player,
• 15:38
  Houston,

• 15:39
  kind
• 15:39
  of

  P.

  Yep.

  You're

  managers
• 16:31
  in
• 16:31
  the

  Pete

  Bobby

  Toland
• 16:40
  actually
• 16:40
  managed
• 16:41
  management.
• 16:41
  And
• 16:41
  we
• 16:42
  had.
• 16:44
  Tony
• 16:45
  Clonje
• 16:45
  was
• 16:45
  a
• 16:45
  major
• 16:46
  league
• 16:46
  pitching
• 16:46
  coach.
• 16:47
  It

  was.
• 16:48
  Lee

  May
• 16:48
  was
• 16:49
  a
• 16:49
  big
• 16:49
  league
• 16:49
  hitting
• 16:49
  coach.
• 16:50
  And
• 16:51
  so
• 16:51
  all
• 16:51
  these
• 16:51
  guys
• 16:52
  were,
• 16:53
  you
• 16:53
  know,
• 16:54
  smart
• 16:55
  guys.
• 16:55
  I
• 16:55
  mean,
• 16:56
  it's
• 16:57
  amazing
• 16:57
  we
• 16:57
  didn't
• 16:57
  win
• 16:57
  more
• 16:58
  because
• 16:58
  we're
• 16:58
  miss.
• 16:58
  We're
• 16:59
  hurt
• 16:59
  for
• 16:59
  pitching.
• 17:00
  And
• 17:01
  they
• 17:01
  didn't
• 17:01
  give
• 17:01
  Dave
• 17:01
  Bristol.
• 17:02
  Dave
• 17:02
  Bristol,
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  greatest
• 17:03
  guy
• 17:03
  ever,
• 17:04
  best
• 17:04
  manager
• 17:04
  ever.
• 17:06
  Dave
• 17:07
  Bristol,
• 17:08
  his
• 17:08
  hands
• 17:08
  were
• 17:09
  tied.
• 17:09
  He
• 17:09
  couldn't.
• 17:09
  He
• 17:09
  couldn't
• 17:09
  do
• 17:10
  anything
• 17:10
  because
• 17:11
  we
• 17:11
  didn't
• 17:11
  have
• 17:11
  enough
• 17:12
  fishing.
• 17:12
  Right.
• 17:13
  And
• 17:14
  you
• 17:15
  know,
• 17:15
  that
• 17:15
  was.
• 17:15
  But
• 17:15
  then,
• 17:16
  remember.
• 17:17
  And
• 17:17
  I
• 17:17
  got
• 17:18
  traded
• 17:18
  in
• 17:19
  70
• 17:19
  to
• 17:19
  the.
• 17:20
  To
• 17:20
  the
• 17:20
  cardinal.
• 17:20
  But
• 17:20
  in
• 17:21
  69,
• 17:22
  that
• 17:23
  was
• 17:23
  really
• 17:23
  the
• 17:23
  makings
• 17:24
  of
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  Big
• 17:24
  Red
• 17:24
  Machine.
• 17:25
  Right.
• 17:26
  And.
• 17:26
  Yeah,
• 17:27
  so
• 17:27
  they
• 17:29
  were
• 17:29
  contenders.
• 17:30
  Did
• 17:30
  you
• 17:30
  play
• 17:31
  with
• 17:31
  Vader
• 17:31
  Penson,
• 17:32
  George?
• 17:33
  Yes,
• 17:33
  I
• 17:33
  did.
• 17:34
  He
• 17:34
  won
• 17:34
  my
• 17:34
  best
• 17:34
  friends.
• 17:35
  Beta
• 17:35
  was
• 17:35
  one
• 17:35
  of
• 17:35
  my
• 17:36
  best
• 17:36
  friends.
• 17:36
  And
• 17:37
  that's
• 17:38
  funny
• 17:38
  because
• 17:38
  every
• 17:39
  time
• 17:39
  I
• 17:39
  pitched,
• 17:39
  he'd
• 17:39
  set
• 17:40
  some
• 17:40
  kind
• 17:40
  of
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  record.
• 17:41
  You
• 17:41
  know,
• 17:41
  we
• 17:41
  should
• 17:41
  laugh
• 17:42
  about
• 17:42
  that
• 17:42
  because
• 17:43
  he
• 17:43
  set
• 17:44
  a
• 17:44
  record.
• 17:44
  His
• 17:45
  individual
• 17:45
  record
• 17:45
  or
• 17:45
  a
• 17:46
  team
• 17:46
  record
• 17:46
  every
• 17:46
  time
• 17:46
  I
• 17:47
  pitched.
• 17:47
  I'm
• 17:48
  surprised
• 17:49
  he
• 17:49
  never
• 17:49
  got
• 17:49
  more
• 17:51
  attention
• 17:51
  from
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  hall
• 17:52
  of
• 17:52
  Fame.
• 17:54
  No,
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  don't.
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  don't
• 17:56
  really
• 17:56
  know
• 17:57
  what
• 17:57
  his
• 17:57
  record
• 17:58
  was.
• 17:58
  I
• 17:58
  saw
• 17:58
  when
• 17:58
  I
• 17:58
  was
• 17:59
  a
• 17:59
  kid
• 18:00
  growing
• 18:00
  up
• 18:00
  here
• 18:01
  in
• 18:01
  Bakersfield,
• 18:01
  he
• 18:01
  played
• 18:02
  in
• 18:02
  the
• 18:02
  California
• 18:02
  League
• 18:02
  for
• 18:03
  Visalia.
• 18:04
  And
• 18:05
  I
• 18:05
  saw
• 18:05
  him
• 18:05
  play.
• 18:06
  He
• 18:06
  was
• 18:06
  a.
• 18:06
  He
• 18:07
  could
• 18:07
  fly.
• 18:07
  Man,
• 18:07
  could
• 18:08
  that
• 18:08
  guy
• 18:08
  run.
• 18:09
  But,
• 18:10
  yeah,
• 18:10
  speaking
• 18:10
  of
• 18:10
  hall
• 18:11
  of

  Fame
• 18:11
  and
• 18:11
  you
• 18:11
  mentioned
• 18:11
  Richie
• 18:12
  Allen.
• 18:12
  There's
• 18:12
  one.
• 18:12
  Another
• 18:12
  one
• 18:13
  of
• 18:13
  my
• 18:13
  teammates.
• 18:14
  Yeah.
• 18:14
  And
• 18:15
  I
• 18:16
  played
• 18:16
  with
• 18:16
  him
• 18:16
  and
• 18:17
  against
• 18:17
  him.
• 18:17
  And
• 18:17
  you
• 18:17
  know
• 18:18
  those.
• 18:18
  Both
• 18:18
  those
• 18:19
  guys
• 18:19
  were
• 18:19
  good
• 18:19
  selections.
• 18:20
  Somebody
• 18:21
  explained
• 18:21
  to

  a
• 18:27
  good
• 18:27
  explanation
• 18:28
  because
• 18:28
  I
• 18:28
  don't
• 18:29
  understand
• 18:29
  it.
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  understand
• 18:31
  some
• 18:31
  of
• 18:31
  their
• 18:31
  selections.
• 18:32
  George,
• 18:32
  I
• 18:32
  agree
• 18:33
  with
• 18:33
  you
• 18:33
  100%,
• 18:34
  especially
• 18:35
  with
• 18:35
  Tommy
• 18:35
  John.
• 18:36
  I
• 18:36
  think
• 18:36
  he's
• 18:36
  got
• 18:36
  288
• 18:37
  wins.
• 18:39
  In
• 18:39
  fact,
• 18:39
  I
• 18:39
  have
• 18:40
  written
• 18:40
  down
• 18:40
  here,
• 18:41
  he
• 18:42
  mentioned
• 18:42
  you
• 18:43
  that
• 18:44
  the
• 18:45
  Dodgers
• 18:45
  traded
• 18:46
  you
• 18:47
  because
• 18:47
  you
• 18:47
  didn't
• 18:47
  get
• 18:47
  into
• 18:48
  a
• 18:48
  lot
• 18:48
  of
• 18:48
  games,
• 18:49
  but
• 18:49
  you
• 18:49
  held
• 18:50
  a
• 18:50
  vital
• 18:50
  role
• 18:51
  as
• 18:51
  team
• 18:51
  comic.
• 18:54
  Well,
• 18:55
  you
• 18:55
  know,
• 18:55
  I'm
• 18:56
  a
• 18:56
  big
• 18:57
  country
• 18:57
  western
• 18:57
  fan.
• 18:58
  And
• 18:58
  so
• 18:58
  we,
• 19:00
  the
• 19:00
  Dodgers
• 19:00
  were
• 19:00
  a
• 19:01
  bunch
• 19:01
  of
• 19:01
  milk
• 19:01
  drinkers.
• 19:02
  They
• 19:02
  were
• 19:03
  the
• 19:04
  team
• 19:04
  I
• 19:04
  came
• 19:04
  from
• 19:07
  later,
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  Astros.
• 19:08
  I
• 19:08
  mean,
• 19:08
  these
• 19:08
  guys,
• 19:08
  they
• 19:08
  were
• 19:09
  wild
• 19:09
  Indians.
• 19:10
  And
• 19:11
  so
• 19:11
  the
• 19:12
  Dodgers
• 19:12
  were
• 19:12
  a
• 19:12
  bunch
• 19:12
  of
• 19:12
  milk
• 19:13
  drinkers,
• 19:13
  you
• 19:13
  know,
• 19:13
  so
• 19:14
  we
• 19:15
  just
• 19:15
  on
• 19:15
  bus
• 19:15
  one
• 19:15
  day
• 19:15
  and
• 19:16
  I
• 19:16
  just
• 19:16
  put
• 19:16
  my
• 19:16
  Merle
• 19:16
  Haggard
• 19:17
  thing
• 19:17
  in
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  tape
• 19:18
  and
• 19:18
  started
• 19:18
  playing
• 19:18
  it.
• 19:19
  And
• 19:19
  person
• 19:20
  said,
• 19:20
  hey,
• 19:20
  play
• 19:20
  that
• 19:21
  again.
• 19:21
  So
• 19:21
  we'd
• 19:22
  go
• 19:22
  on
• 19:22
  a
• 19:22
  road
• 19:22
  trip,
• 19:22
  we'd
• 19:23
  win
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  game.
• 19:23
  And
• 19:23
  they
• 19:24
  say,
• 19:24
  hey,
• 19:24
  play
• 19:24
  it
• 19:24
  again.
• 19:24
  That's
• 19:25
  good
• 19:25
  luck.
• 19:25
  So
• 19:25
  we
• 19:25
  start
• 19:25
  playing
• 19:25
  Merle
• 19:26
  Haggard,
• 19:26
  Buck
• 19:26
  Owens
• 19:27
  and
• 19:27
  Glen
• 19:27
  Campbell.
• 19:28
  And.
• 19:28
  And
• 19:29
  so
• 19:29
  I,
• 19:30
  I
• 19:30
  pitched
• 19:30
  quite
• 19:30
  a
• 19:30
  bit.
• 19:31
  I,
• 19:31
  I
• 19:31
  was,
• 19:31
  I
• 19:32
  was
• 19:32
  one
• 19:32
  of
• 19:32
  their
• 19:32
  main
• 19:33
  guys
• 19:33
  out
• 19:33
  of
• 19:33
  the
• 19:33
  bullpen.
• 19:33
  But
• 19:34
  they,
• 19:34
  I
• 19:34
  think
• 19:34
  they
• 19:35
  brought
• 19:35
  up,
• 19:35
  they
• 19:36
  needed
• 19:36
  another
• 19:36
  infielder
• 19:37
  utility.
• 19:38
  They
• 19:38
  traded,
• 19:39
  traded
• 19:40
  me
• 19:40
  for
• 19:40
  Jerry
• 19:40
  Royster,
• 19:41
  brought
• 19:41
  up
• 19:41
  Jerry
• 19:41
  Royce,
• 19:42
  I
• 19:42
  guess
• 19:42
  he
• 19:42
  was.
• 19:42
  So,
• 19:43
  yeah,
• 19:43
  but
• 19:44
  I
• 19:44
  pitched
• 19:45
  quite
• 19:45
  a
• 19:45
  bit.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:46
  that
• 19:46
  was
• 19:46
  a
• 19:46
  heck
• 19:46
  of
• 19:46
  a
• 19:47
  pitching
• 19:47
  staff.
• 19:47
  If
• 19:47
  you
• 19:48
  look
• 19:48
  up
• 19:48
  that
• 19:48
  pitching
• 19:48
  staff,
• 19:50
  that
• 19:50
  starting
• 19:51
  rotation
• 19:51
  was
• 19:51
  Don
• 19:52
  Trenton,
• 19:53
  Claude
• 19:53
  Osteen,
• 19:54
  Andy
• 19:55
  Messerschmitt,
• 19:56
  Al
• 19:57
  Downing
• 19:57
  and
• 19:57
  Tommy
• 19:58
  John.
• 19:58
  Yeah,
• 19:59
  not
• 20:00
  too
• 20:00
  shabby.
• 20:01
  Yeah.
• 20:02
  And
• 20:03
  so
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  Reds
• 20:04
  just
• 20:04
  got
• 20:04
  hot
• 20:05
  towards
• 20:05
  the
• 20:05
  end
• 20:05
  of
• 20:05
  the
• 20:05
  year
• 20:05
  and
• 20:06
  just
• 20:06
  overtook
• 20:07
  them.
• 20:07
  We
• 20:07
  had
• 20:07
  a
• 20:07
  13
• 20:07
  game
• 20:07
  lead
• 20:08
  on
• 20:08
  the
• 20:08
  Reds
• 20:08
  in
• 20:08
  July.
• 20:09
  13
• 20:10
  game
• 20:10
  lead.
• 20:10
  They
• 20:10
  overtook
• 20:11
  us.
• 20:13
  We
• 20:13
  are
• 20:13
  speaking
• 20:13
  with
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  great
• 20:14
  George
• 20:15
  Culver
• 20:15
  tonight
• 20:15
  on
• 20:16
  Sports
• 20:16
  Talk
• 20:16
  New
• 20:16
  York.
• 20:17
  Now,
• 20:17
  George,
• 20:18
  was
• 20:18
  there
• 20:18
  any
• 20:18
  coach
• 20:19
  or
• 20:19
  manager
• 20:20
  that
• 20:21
  you
• 20:21
  met
• 20:21
  along
• 20:22
  the
• 20:22
  way
• 20:22
  who
• 20:22
  really
• 20:23
  had
• 20:23
  a
• 20:23
  great
• 20:24
  impact
• 20:24
  on
• 20:24
  your
• 20:25
  career?
• 20:26
  Well,
• 20:27
  like
• 20:27
  I
• 20:27
  said,
• 20:27
  Dave
• 20:27
  Bristol
• 20:28
  was
• 20:28
  by
• 20:28
  far
• 20:29
  okay,
• 20:30
  because
• 20:31
  you
• 20:31
  know
• 20:31
  why?
• 20:31
  Because
• 20:32
  when
• 20:32
  I
• 20:32
  got.
• 20:32
  I
• 20:33
  was
• 20:33
  told
• 20:33
  you
• 20:33
  I
• 20:33
  was
• 20:33
  a
• 20:33
  starter
• 20:34
  in
• 20:34
  wire
• 20:34
  leaves.
• 20:34
  When
• 20:34
  I
• 20:35
  got
• 20:35
  caught
• 20:36
  up
• 20:36
  by
• 20:36
  Cleveland,
• 20:36
  I
• 20:36
  got
• 20:37
  one
• 20:37
  start.
• 20:38
  When
• 20:39
  I
• 20:39
  first
• 20:39
  come
• 20:39
  up,
• 20:40
  the
• 20:40
  last
• 20:40
  start
• 20:40
  I
• 20:40
  got
• 20:40
  in
• 20:41
  66
• 20:42
  in
• 20:42
  the
• 20:42
  middle
• 20:43
  of
• 20:43
  the
• 20:43
  year.
• 20:43
  In
• 20:43
  67,
• 20:43
  he
• 20:44
  gave
• 20:44
  me
• 20:44
  one
• 20:44
  more
• 20:44
  start
• 20:44
  right
• 20:45
  in
• 20:45
  the
• 20:45
  middle
• 20:45
  of
• 20:45
  the
• 20:45
  year.
• 20:45
  I'm
• 20:46
  the
• 20:46
  closer.
• 20:46
  And
• 20:46
  all
• 20:46
  of
• 20:46
  a
• 20:46
  sudden
• 20:46
  they
• 20:47
  say,
• 20:47
  okay,
• 20:47
  you're
• 20:47
  going
• 20:47
  to
• 20:47
  start
• 20:47
  again.
• 20:48
  And
• 20:49
  so
• 20:49
  now
• 20:50
  back
• 20:50
  to
• 20:50
  the
• 20:50
  bullpen
• 20:51
  I
• 20:51
  went.
• 20:52
  And
• 20:52
  I
• 20:52
  wanted
• 20:53
  to
• 20:53
  start.
• 20:53
  I
• 20:53
  don't
• 20:53
  want
• 20:54
  to
• 20:54
  be
• 20:54
  in
• 20:54
  the
• 20:54
  bullpen.
• 20:54
  I
• 20:54
  wanted
• 20:54
  to
• 20:55
  start.
• 20:55
  So
• 20:55
  when
• 20:55
  I
• 20:55
  got
• 20:55
  to
• 20:56
  the
• 20:56
  Reds,
• 20:57
  Dave
• 20:57
  Russell
• 20:57
  gave
• 20:57
  me
• 20:58
  an
• 20:58
  opportunity
• 20:58
  to
• 20:58
  start.
• 20:58
  And
• 20:59
  so
• 20:59
  that's
• 20:59
  when
• 20:59
  some
• 20:59
  of
• 20:59
  the
• 20:59
  good
• 21:00
  things
• 21:00
  happened
• 21:00
  for
• 21:00
  me.
• 21:01
  And
• 21:02
  unfortunately,
• 21:03
  in
• 21:03
  69,
• 21:04
  I
• 21:04
  got
• 21:04
  sick
• 21:05
  halfway
• 21:05
  through
• 21:06
  the
• 21:06
  season.
• 21:06
  And
• 21:06
  so
• 21:07
  I
• 21:08
  was
• 21:08
  doing
• 21:08
  okay
• 21:08
  in
• 21:08
  66.
• 21:10
  I'm
• 21:11
  sorry,
• 21:11
  60,
• 21:12
  69,
• 21:13
  I
• 21:13
  was
• 21:13
  in
• 21:13
  okay
• 21:13
  in
• 21:13
  69,
• 21:14
  I
• 21:14
  got
• 21:14
  sick
• 21:15
  and
• 21:16
  so.
• 21:17
  But
• 21:17
  Bristol
• 21:18
  was
• 21:18
  by
• 21:18
  far
• 21:18
  the
• 21:18
  best.
• 21:19
  I
• 21:19
  mean,
• 21:20
  there's
• 21:20
  not
• 21:20
  even.
• 21:21
  I
• 21:21
  had
• 21:21
  a
• 21:21
  lot
• 21:21
  of
• 21:22
  respect
• 21:22
  for
• 21:22
  Walter
• 21:22
  Austin.
• 21:24
  He
• 21:24
  was
• 21:24
  terrific.
• 21:25
  And
• 21:26
  but
• 21:27
  those
• 21:27
  two
• 21:27
  guys
• 21:27
  really
• 21:28
  say
• 21:28
  they're
• 21:29
  top
• 21:29
  of
• 21:29
  the
• 21:29
  list
• 21:30
  for
• 21:30
  me.
• 21:30
  Both
• 21:30
  those
• 21:30
  guys,
• 21:31
  great
• 21:31
  baseball
• 21:32
  men,
• 21:32
  George.
• 21:32
  That
• 21:33
  is
• 21:33
  for
• 21:33
  sure.
• 21:34
  Now,
• 21:34
  when
• 21:34
  you
• 21:35
  first
• 21:35
  came
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  the
• 21:35
  big
• 21:36
  leagues,
• 21:36
  was
• 21:36
  there
• 21:36
  ever
• 21:36
  a
• 21:37
  time
• 21:37
  that
• 21:38
  you
• 21:38
  were
• 21:38
  really
• 21:39
  in
• 21:39
  awe
• 21:39
  of
• 21:40
  somebody?
• 21:40
  Like,
• 21:41
  holy
• 21:41
  crap,
• 21:41
  that's
• 21:42
  so
• 21:42
  and
• 21:42
  so
• 21:42
  and,
• 21:43
  and
• 21:43
  I'm
• 21:43
  playing
• 21:43
  with
• 21:43
  them
• 21:44
  or
• 21:44
  against
• 21:44
  them
• 21:44
  and
• 21:45
  anybody
• 21:45
  like
• 21:45
  that?
• 21:46
  George.
• 21:47
  Oh
• 21:47
  yeah,
• 21:48
  because
• 21:48
  when
• 21:48
  I
• 21:48
  was
• 21:48
  a
• 21:48
  kid,
• 21:49
  I
• 21:49
  used
• 21:49
  to
• 21:50
  say
• 21:50
  baseball
• 21:50
  cards,
• 21:51
  like
• 21:51
  everybody,
• 21:51
  they
• 21:51
  call
• 21:51
  them
• 21:51
  bubblegum
• 21:52
  cards
• 21:52
  in
• 21:52
  those
• 21:53
  days.
• 21:53
  And
• 21:54
  so
• 21:54
  like
• 21:55
  I
• 21:55
  said,
• 21:55
  my
• 21:55
  big
• 21:55
  hero
• 21:56
  is
• 21:56
  Mickey
• 21:56
  Mantle.
• 21:57
  And
• 21:58
  the
• 21:58
  first
• 21:58
  time
• 21:58
  we
• 21:59
  go
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  Yankee
• 21:59
  Stadium,
• 22:00
  I'm
• 22:00
  in
• 22:00
  the
• 22:00
  bullpen
• 22:01
  and
• 22:01
  the
• 22:01
  game's
• 22:01
  late
• 22:02
  in
• 22:02
  the
• 22:02
  game
• 22:03
  and
• 22:03
  they
• 22:03
  bring
• 22:03
  me
• 22:03
  in
• 22:04
  the
• 22:04
  pitch
• 22:05
  and
• 22:05
  so
• 22:06
  I'm
• 22:06
  warming
• 22:06
  up
• 22:06
  and
• 22:07
  then
• 22:07
  that's
• 22:07
  my
• 22:07
  name.
• 22:07
  And
• 22:08
  everybody
• 22:08
  started
• 22:09
  applaud.
• 22:09
  And
• 22:09
  I
• 22:09
  said,
• 22:09
  how
• 22:10
  the
• 22:10
  heck
• 22:10
  do
• 22:10
  people
• 22:10
  know
• 22:10
  me,
• 22:11
  you
• 22:11
  know?
• 22:11
  And
• 22:11
  so
• 22:12
  I
• 22:12
  heard,
• 22:13
  I
• 22:13
  looked
• 22:13
  on
• 22:13
  my
• 22:14
  shoulder
• 22:14
  and
• 22:14
  the
• 22:14
  Yankee
• 22:14
  dugout
• 22:15
  and
• 22:15
  there's
• 22:15
  this
• 22:15
  guy,
• 22:17
  looked
• 22:17
  like
• 22:17
  a
• 22:17
  weightlifter,
• 22:18
  swinging
• 22:19
  about
• 22:19
  eight
• 22:19
  bats
• 22:20
  and
• 22:21
  getting
• 22:21
  ready
• 22:21
  to
• 22:21
  come
• 22:22
  to
• 22:22
  that.
• 22:23
  And
• 22:24
  I
• 22:24
  think
• 22:24
  his
• 22:24
  name
• 22:24
  was
• 22:25
  Mantle.
• 22:25
  I
• 22:25
  think
• 22:25
  it
• 22:25
  was
• 22:26
  Mickey
• 22:26
  Mantle.
• 22:27
  Yeah,
• 22:27
  number
• 22:28
  seven.
• 22:29
  So
• 22:29
  here
• 22:29
  I
• 22:30
  am,
• 22:30
  this
• 22:30
  is
• 22:31
  my
• 22:31
  childhood
• 22:32
  idol
• 22:33
  and
• 22:33
  I'm
• 22:33
  going
• 22:33
  to
• 22:33
  get
• 22:34
  to
• 22:34
  face
• 22:34
  this
• 22:34
  guy
• 22:34
  in
• 22:34
  a
• 22:34
  major
• 22:35
  league
• 22:35
  game.
• 22:35
  What
• 22:35
  are
• 22:35
  the
• 22:36
  odds
• 22:36
  of
• 22:36
  that
• 22:36
  happening?
• 22:37
  What
• 22:37
  are
• 22:37
  the
• 22:37
  odds?
• 22:37
  That's
• 22:38
  why
• 22:38
  in
• 22:38
  my
• 22:38
  book,
• 22:39
  right
• 22:39
  near
• 22:39
  the
• 22:39
  title
• 22:40
  Earl
• 22:40
  of
• 22:40
  old
• 22:40
  is
• 22:41
  why
• 22:41
  me.
• 22:42
  And
• 22:42
  that
• 22:42
  is
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  true
• 22:42
  story.
• 22:43
  Why
• 22:43
  me.
• 22:44
  So
• 22:44
  he
• 22:44
  comes
• 22:44
  up,
• 22:45
  tie
• 22:45
  game,
• 22:46
  Bob
• 22:46
  and
• 22:46
  ninth
• 22:47
  inning,
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  I
• 22:48
  can't
• 22:48
  even
• 22:49
  the
• 22:49
  ball
• 22:49
  feels
• 22:49
  like
• 22:49
  a
• 22:50
  20
• 22:50
  pound
• 22:50
  shot
• 22:50
  put.
• 22:51
  I
• 22:51
  can't,
• 22:51
  I
• 22:51
  can't
• 22:51
  even
• 22:52
  reach.
• 22:52
  Don't
• 22:52
  play
• 22:52
  with.
• 22:53
  So
• 22:53
  I
• 22:53
  throw
• 22:54
  ball
• 22:54
  one,
• 22:55
  ball
• 22:56
  two,
• 22:57
  ball
• 22:57
  three.
• 22:58
  And
• 22:58
  I
• 22:59
  said,
• 22:59
  okay,
• 22:59
  now
• 22:59
  just,
• 22:59
  just
• 23:00
  throw
• 23:00
  us,
• 23:00
  just
• 23:00
  throw
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  strike.
• 23:01
  Don't
• 23:01
  walk
• 23:01
  the
• 23:02
  guy.
• 23:02
  So
• 23:03
  I
• 23:03
  threw
• 23:03
  a
• 23:03
  strike
• 23:03
  and
• 23:04
  he
• 23:04
  hit
• 23:04
  the
• 23:04
  ball
• 23:04
  about
• 23:05
  700ft
• 23:05
  up
• 23:06
  in
• 23:06
  the
• 23:06
  air
• 23:06
  and
• 23:07
  about
• 23:07
  380ft
• 23:08
  towards
• 23:08
  center
• 23:09
  field.
• 23:09
  Our
• 23:09
  center
• 23:10
  fielder
• 23:11
  snagged
• 23:11
  it
• 23:12
  up
• 23:12
  against
• 23:12
  the
• 23:12
  wall.
• 23:13
  Wow,
• 23:13
  right
• 23:14
  out.
• 23:14
  And
• 23:15
  so
• 23:15
  he's
• 23:15
  limping
• 23:16
  around
• 23:16
  the
• 23:16
  bases
• 23:16
  and
• 23:16
  I
• 23:16
  look
• 23:16
  at
• 23:17
  him.
• 23:17
  You're
• 23:17
  not
• 23:18
  that
• 23:18
  bad.
• 23:18
  I
• 23:18
  wasn't
• 23:18
  that
• 23:18
  tough,
• 23:19
  you
• 23:19
  know,
• 23:19
  I
• 23:19
  scared
• 23:22
  to
• 23:22
  death.
• 23:23
  And
• 23:24
  so
• 23:24
  that
• 23:24
  was,
• 23:24
  I
• 23:25
  mean,
• 23:25
  there
• 23:25
  was
• 23:25
  a
• 23:25
  lot
• 23:25
  of
• 23:25
  guys
• 23:26
  that,
• 23:26
  you
• 23:26
  know,
• 23:26
  I
• 23:26
  got
• 23:26
  to
• 23:26
  pitch
• 23:27
  against
• 23:27
  Maze.
• 23:28
  Well,
• 23:28
  I
• 23:28
  played
• 23:28
  with
• 23:29
  or
• 23:29
  against
• 23:29
  41
• 23:30
  hall
• 23:30
  of
• 23:30
  Famers.
• 23:31
  So
• 23:31
  you
• 23:31
  can
• 23:31
  imagine
• 23:33
  how
• 23:33
  much
• 23:34
  money
• 23:34
  would
• 23:34
  somebody
• 23:34
  pay
• 23:35
  for
• 23:35
  that
• 23:35
  much?
• 23:35
  Yeah,
• 23:36
  there
• 23:36
  were
• 23:36
  Some
• 23:37
  great
• 23:37

  Now,

• 23:43
  who
• 23:44

  Well,

• 23:59
  Got
• 23:59
  a
• 23:59
  lot
• 23:59

  He's

  And.
• 24:19
  And
• 24:20
  so
• 24:20
  the

  And
• 24:32
  McCurvey.
• 24:32
  McCubey
• 24:33
  was
• 24:33
  a
• 24:33
  terror.
• 24:34
  I
• 24:34
  mean,
• 24:34
  you
• 24:34
  saw
• 24:34
  him
• 24:35
  down
• 24:35
  Dexter
• 24:35
  where
• 24:35
  he
• 24:35
  was
• 24:36
  already
• 24:36
  shaking,
• 24:36
  you
• 24:36
  know,
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  then.
• 24:38
  I'm
• 24:39
  serious.
• 24:39
  And
• 24:39
  then
• 24:40
  Kliment.
• 24:40
  You
• 24:41
  never
• 24:41
  know
• 24:41
  what
• 24:41
  pitch
• 24:41
  he's
• 24:41
  going
• 24:41
  to
• 24:41
  hit.
• 24:42
  He
• 24:42
  hit
• 24:42
  the
• 24:42
  ball
• 24:42
  over
• 24:42
  his
• 24:42
  head
• 24:43
  one
• 24:43
  time,
• 24:43
  it
• 24:43
  went
• 24:43
  down
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  dirt
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  next
• 24:44
  time.
• 24:45
  So
• 24:46
  he
• 24:46
  just
• 24:46
  didn't
• 24:47
  know
• 24:47
  really
• 24:47
  what
• 24:47
  pitch
• 24:47
  to
• 24:48
  throw
• 24:48
  him.
• 24:48
  He
• 24:48
  was
• 24:48
  a
• 24:49
  tremendous
• 24:49
  bad
• 24:49
  ball
• 24:50
  hitter.
• 24:50
  Yeah.
• 24:51
  Oh,
• 24:52
  God.
• 24:52
  And
• 24:52
  he
• 24:52
  was
• 24:53
  such
• 24:53
  an
• 24:53
  outfielder
• 24:54
  and
• 24:54
  great
• 24:54
  arm
• 24:55
  and
• 24:55
  he
• 24:55
  could
• 24:55
  fly
• 24:56
  and
• 24:56
  I
• 24:56
  mean,
• 24:56
  this
• 24:56
  guy
• 24:57
  was.
• 24:57
  He
• 24:57
  could
• 24:58
  dominate
• 24:58
  a
• 24:58
  game.
• 24:59
  Yep.
• 25:00
  And
• 25:00
  the
• 25:00
  great
• 25:00
  one.
• 25:01
  I
• 25:01
  just
• 25:01
  admired
• 25:02
  him
• 25:02
  so
• 25:02
  much.
• 25:03
  And
• 25:04
  I
• 25:04
  think.
• 25:05
  I
• 25:05
  can't
• 25:05
  find
• 25:05
  out.
• 25:06
  I
• 25:06
  can't
• 25:07
  find
• 25:07
  out
• 25:07
  anywhere.
• 25:07
  But
• 25:08
  I
• 25:08
  think
• 25:08
  I
• 25:08
  gave
• 25:08
  up
• 25:08
  his
• 25:09
  last
• 25:09
  home
• 25:09
  run.
• 25:10
  I
• 25:10
  think
• 25:10
  he
• 25:10
  pinched
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  against
• 25:11
  me.
• 25:12
  I
• 25:12
  can't
• 25:12
  find
• 25:12
  out.
• 25:13
  I
• 25:13
  know
• 25:13
  I
• 25:14
  gave
• 25:14
  up
• 25:14
  a
• 25:14
  home
• 25:14
  run
• 25:14
  in
• 25:15
  the
• 25:15
  last
• 25:15
  game
• 25:15
  of
• 25:15
  the
• 25:16
  year
• 25:16
  to
• 25:16
  him
• 25:16
  or
• 25:16
  lass
• 25:17
  at
• 25:17
  bat,
• 25:17
  but
• 25:19
  I
• 25:19
  know
• 25:19
  he
• 25:19
  got.
• 25:20
  His
• 25:20
  last
• 25:20
  hit
• 25:20
  was
• 25:20
  against
• 25:21
  Wayne
• 25:21
  Simpson.
• 25:21
  That
• 25:21
  was
• 25:22
  a
• 25:22
  3,000
• 25:22
  hit.
• 25:23
  And
• 25:24
  I
• 25:24
  think
• 25:25
  the
• 25:26
  series
• 25:26
  before
• 25:27
  that
• 25:28
  I
• 25:28
  was
• 25:29
  with
• 25:29
  the
• 25:29
  Astros.
• 25:29
  I
• 25:30
  think
• 25:30
  he
• 25:30
  hit
• 25:30
  a
• 25:30
  pension
• 25:31
  home
• 25:31
  run
• 25:31
  against.
• 25:32
  I
• 25:32
  think
• 25:32
  that
• 25:32
  was
• 25:32
  his
• 25:32
  last
• 25:32
  home
• 25:33
  run.
• 25:33
  So,
• 25:34
  yeah,
• 25:35
  he
• 25:36
  was
• 25:36
  something
• 25:36
  out
• 25:36
  there.
• 25:36
  Those
• 25:37
  guys.
• 25:37
  Like
• 25:37
  you
• 25:38
  said,
• 25:38
  there's
• 25:38
  so
• 25:38
  many
• 25:38
  great
• 25:39
  players.
• 25:40
  Mid
• 25:40
  60s
• 25:41
  to
• 25:41
  mid
• 25:41
  70s.
• 25:42
  Yeah.
• 25:44
  Just
• 25:44
  an
• 25:44
  honor
• 25:45
  to
• 25:45
  be

• 25:45
  the
• 25:46
  same
• 25:46
  ballpark
• 25:46

• 25:47

  pleasure.
• 29:17
  Now,
• 29:17
  what
• 29:18
  was
• 29:18
  the
• 29:18
  impetus
• 29:19
  for
• 29:19
  this

  book?
• 29:21
  Somebody
• 29:22
  bugging
• 29:22
  me
• 29:22
  to
• 29:23
  do
• 29:23

• 29:25
  I

  Didn't

  that,
• 29:36
  and

  didn't
• 29:37
  want
• 29:37
  to
• 29:37
  start
• 29:37
  writing
• 29:38
  again,

  like,

• 29:47
  know,
• 29:47
  if
• 29:47
  we
• 29:48

• 29:48
  figure
• 29:48
  out
• 29:48
  a
• 29:48
  way

  to

  my

  was
• 30:59
  obviously
• 30:59
  older
• 31:00
  than
• 31:00
  he
• 31:00
  was,
• 31:00
  but
• 31:01
  he

  grew
• 31:01
  up,

  one
• 31:04
  of

  heroes.
• 31:05
  He
• 31:06
  says.
• 31:06
  You
• 31:06
  know,
• 31:06
  they
• 31:06
  used
• 31:06
  to
• 31:06
  call
• 31:07
  him
• 31:08
  Joey
• 31:09
  you
• 31:10
  when
• 31:11
  he
• 31:11
  was
• 31:11
  a
• 31:11
  kid.
• 31:12
  And
• 31:13
  then,
• 31:13
  yeah,
• 31:13
  they
• 31:13
  got
• 31:14
  to
• 31:14
  know
• 31:14
  each
• 31:14
  other
• 31:15
  over
• 31:15
  the
• 31:15
  years,
• 31:15
  played
• 31:16
  against
• 31:16
  each
• 31:16
  other.
• 31:16
  Both
• 31:17
  had
• 31:17
  a
• 31:17
  tremendous
• 31:17
  amount
• 31:18
  of
• 31:18
  respect
• 31:18
  for
• 31:19
  each
• 31:20
  other
• 31:20
  and
• 31:20
  were
• 31:20
  actually
• 31:21
  good
• 31:21
  friends
• 31:22
  off
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  field.
• 31:23
  So,
• 31:24
  yeah,
• 31:24
  I
• 31:24
  mean,
• 31:24
  Joe
• 31:25
  was
• 31:25
  just.
• 31:26
  They
• 31:26
  had
• 31:26
  that
• 31:26
  iconic
• 31:27
  game
• 31:28
  against
• 31:28
  one
• 31:28
  another
• 31:29
  where
• 31:30
  the
• 31:31
  jets
• 31:31
  were
• 31:31
  victorious,
• 31:33
  but,
• 31:34
  yeah,
• 31:35
  I
• 31:35
  know
• 31:35
  Joe
• 31:36
  was
• 31:36
  nervous
• 31:36
  in
• 31:36
  that
• 31:37
  game,
• 31:37
  hoping
• 31:37
  that
• 31:38
  they
• 31:38
  wouldn't
• 31:38
  put
• 31:38
  my
• 31:38
  dad
• 31:38
  in
• 31:39
  at
• 31:39
  all.
• 31:40
  Yeah,
• 31:40
  I
• 31:40
  bet.
• 31:42
  To
• 31:42
  give
• 31:42
  you
• 31:43
  a
• 31:43
  little
• 31:44
  solace
• 31:44
  there,
• 31:45
  Joe,
• 31:45
  the
• 31:45
  Jets
• 31:45
  haven't
• 31:46
  won
• 31:46
  since,
• 31:47
  so.
• 31:48
  Yeah,
• 31:49
  yeah,
• 31:50
  I
• 31:50
  know
• 31:51
  it's
• 31:52
  been
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  tough
• 31:53
  road,
• 31:54
  especially
• 31:55
  these
• 31:55
  last
• 31:56
  two
• 31:56
  years
• 31:56
  of
• 31:57
  how
• 31:57
  excited
• 31:58
  everybody
• 31:58
  was
• 31:58
  with
• 31:59
  Aaron
• 31:59
  coming
• 32:00
  in.
• 32:00
  But
• 32:00
  it's
• 32:00
  a
• 32:01
  shame.
• 32:01
  I
• 32:01
  know
• 32:02
  they
• 32:03
  tell
• 32:03
  me
• 32:03
  it
• 32:03
  builds
• 32:04
  character,
• 32:04
  though,
• 32:04
  Joe,
• 32:05
  so
• 32:05
  that
• 32:06
  I
• 32:06
  have
• 32:06
  to
• 32:06
  have
• 32:06
  more
• 32:07
  character
• 32:07
  than
• 32:07
  anybody
• 32:08
  in
• 32:08
  the
• 32:08
  country
• 32:08
  here,
• 32:09
  because
• 32:09
  I've
• 32:09
  been
• 32:10
  sticking
• 32:10
  with
• 32:10
  him
• 32:11
  ever
• 32:11
  since.
• 32:11
  But
• 32:12
  you
• 32:12
  know,
• 32:13
  the
• 32:13
  deal
• 32:13
  with
• 32:13
  that.
• 32:14
  We
• 32:14
  digress.
• 32:15
  Now,
• 32:16
  as
• 32:16
  a
• 32:16
  football
• 32:17
  player,
• 32:17
  your
• 32:17
  dad,
• 32:18
  of
• 32:19
  course,
• 32:19
  is
• 32:19
  known
• 32:19
  for
• 32:19
  his
• 32:20
  crew
• 32:20
  cut
• 32:21
  and
• 32:21
  the
• 32:21
  black
• 32:22
  High
• 32:22
  top
• 32:22
  cleats.
• 32:23
  And
• 32:23
  now
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  read
• 32:24
  where
• 32:25
  he
• 32:26
  wore
• 32:26
  the
• 32:26
  high
• 32:26
  tops
• 32:27
  when
• 32:27
  cutting
• 32:27
  grass.
• 32:29
  Yes.
• 32:30
  Yeah,
• 32:30
  we,
• 32:31
  we
• 32:31
  had
• 32:31
  a
• 32:31
  few
• 32:32
  pairs
• 32:33
  at
• 32:33
  the
• 32:33
  house
• 32:34
  that
• 32:34
  were
• 32:34
  left
• 32:34
  over
• 32:35
  from
• 32:35
  his
• 32:35
  playing
• 32:35
  days.
• 32:36
  And
• 32:36
  he
• 32:37
  said,
• 32:37
  you
• 32:37
  know,
• 32:37
  they
• 32:37
  were,
• 32:38
  they
• 32:38
  were
• 32:38
  pretty
• 32:39
  broken
• 32:39
  in
• 32:39
  and
• 32:39
  comfortable.
• 32:40
  So
• 32:41
  that's
• 32:41
  what
• 32:41
  he
• 32:41
  did,
• 32:42
  that's
• 32:42
  what
• 32:42
  he
• 32:42
  would
• 32:43
  wear.
• 32:44
  Yeah,
• 32:44
  why
• 32:45
  not?
• 32:45
  Now
• 32:46
  he
• 32:46
  had
• 32:47
  a
• 32:47
  great
• 32:47
  arm,
• 32:48
  of
• 32:48
  course.
• 32:50
  Never
• 32:50
  really
• 32:51
  gave
• 32:51
  into
• 32:51
  the
• 32:51
  pressure.
• 32:53
  He
• 32:53
  remained
• 32:54
  kind
• 32:54
  of
• 32:54
  unemotional
• 32:55
  in
• 32:55
  the
• 32:55
  tensest
• 32:56
  moments.
• 32:57
  To
• 32:57
  what
• 32:57
  do
• 32:58
  you
• 32:58
  attribute
• 32:58
  that,
• 32:59
  Joe?
• 33:02
  Probably
• 33:03
  just
• 33:03
  the
• 33:03
  way
• 33:03
  he
• 33:04
  was.
• 33:05
  He
• 33:05
  was
• 33:05
  raised,
• 33:06
  you
• 33:06
  know,
• 33:06
  they
• 33:06
  had
• 33:06
  a
• 33:06
  tough
• 33:07
  upbringing
• 33:08
  in
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  depression
• 33:10
  era
• 33:11
  and
• 33:11
  his
• 33:11
  dad
• 33:12
  passed
• 33:12
  away
• 33:13
  early
• 33:13
  when
• 33:14
  he
• 33:14
  was
• 33:14
  a
• 33:14
  kid
• 33:14
  and
• 33:15
  mom
• 33:15
  had
• 33:16
  to
• 33:16
  work
• 33:16
  three
• 33:16
  jobs
• 33:17
  to
• 33:17
  support
• 33:17
  the
• 33:18
  family.
• 33:18
  So
• 33:19
  I
• 33:19
  didn't
• 33:19
  think
• 33:19
  it
• 33:20
  was
• 33:20
  that
• 33:20
  big
• 33:20
  of
• 33:20
  a
• 33:20
  deal
• 33:20
  if
• 33:21
  he
• 33:21
  had
• 33:21
  to
• 33:21
  march
• 33:21
  down
• 33:21
  the
• 33:22
  field
• 33:22
  in
• 33:22
  two
• 33:22
  minutes
• 33:22
  and
• 33:23
  get
• 33:23
  a
• 33:23
  field
• 33:23
  goal
• 33:24
  or
• 33:24
  a
• 33:24
  touchdown.
• 33:25
  Right.
• 33:25
  And
• 33:26
  as
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  was
• 33:27
  going
• 33:27
  to
• 33:27
  mention
• 33:28
  my
• 33:28
  next
• 33:29
  question,
• 33:30
  he's
• 33:30
  credited
• 33:31
  with
• 33:31
  inventing
• 33:32
  and
• 33:33
  also
• 33:33
  perfecting
• 33:34
  the
• 33:34
  two
• 33:34
  minute
• 33:35
  drill.
• 33:36
  Yeah,
• 33:37
  they
• 33:37
  spent
• 33:38
  a
• 33:38
  lot
• 33:38
  of
• 33:39
  time
• 33:39
  on
• 33:39
  that.
• 33:40
  Him
• 33:40
  and
• 33:40
  Raymond
• 33:41
  Berry
• 33:41
  and
• 33:42
  Lenny
• 33:42
  Moore
• 33:43
  and
• 33:43
  Jim
• 33:44
  Mutchler
• 33:44
  was
• 33:45
  kind
• 33:45
  of
• 33:45
  in
• 33:45
  the
• 33:46
  early
• 33:46
  part
• 33:47
  of
• 33:47
  his
• 33:47
  career
• 33:48
  and
• 33:48
  John
• 33:48
  Mackey
• 33:49
  came
• 33:49
  along
• 33:50
  later.
• 33:51
  But
• 33:52
  yeah,
• 33:52
  that
• 33:52
  was,
• 33:52
  that
• 33:52
  was
• 33:52
  a
• 33:53
  big,
• 33:53
  big
• 33:53
  thing,
• 33:54
  right.
• 33:54
  You
• 33:54
  got
• 33:54
  to
• 33:54
  know
• 33:55
  how
• 33:55
  to
• 33:55
  get
• 33:56
  it
• 33:56
  done
• 33:56
  that,
• 33:56
  you
• 33:56
  know,
• 33:57
  that's
• 33:57
  a
• 33:57
  part
• 33:57
  of
• 33:57
  performing
• 33:58
  under
• 33:58
  pressure.
• 33:59
  They
• 33:59
  worked
• 33:59
  on
• 33:59
  it
• 33:59
  so
• 34:00
  much
• 34:00
  and
• 34:01
  that
• 34:01
  the
• 34:01
  teams
• 34:01
  do
• 34:02
  it
• 34:02
  nowadays
• 34:02
  as
• 34:02
  well.
• 34:03
  So
• 34:03
  when
• 34:03
  you
• 34:03
  get
• 34:03
  into
• 34:03
  that
• 34:04
  situation,
• 34:05
  right,
• 34:05
  there's
• 34:05
  no
• 34:06
  more
• 34:06
  thinking.
• 34:07
  We
• 34:07
  just
• 34:07
  go
• 34:07
  execute
• 34:08
  and
• 34:08
  win.
• 34:09
  That
• 34:09
  was
• 34:09
  important
• 34:10
  to
• 34:10
  Johnny.
• 34:10
  You.
• 34:10
  I
• 34:11
  know
• 34:11
  winning
• 34:12
  was,
• 34:12
  was
• 34:12
  the
• 34:12
  utmost.
• 34:13
  Now
• 34:14
  John
• 34:14
  Mackey
• 34:15
  is
• 34:15
  a
• 34:15
  local
• 34:15
  kid.
• 34:16
  I
• 34:16
  don't
• 34:16
  know
• 34:16
  if
• 34:16
  you
• 34:16
  knew
• 34:17
  that.

  and
• 34:24
  a
• 34:25
  great
• 34:25
  tight
• 34:25
  end.
• 34:27
  It's
• 34:27
  a
• 34:28
  shame
• 34:28
  the
• 34:28
  way
• 34:29
  his
• 34:29
  life
• 34:29
  turned
• 34:30
  out,
• 34:30
  but
• 34:32
  they're
• 34:32
  making
• 34:32
  strides
• 34:33
  now
• 34:33
  and

• 34:36
  a
• 34:36
  great
• 34:36
  football
• 34:37
  player
• 34:37
  and
• 34:37
  we

  remember
• 34:38
  him

  quite
• 34:39
  often
• 34:39
  here
• 34:40
  on
• 34:40
  the
• 34:40
  program.
• 34:41
  Yeah,

  I
• 34:43
  got
• 34:43
  to
• 34:43
  know
• 34:43
  him
• 34:43
  and

  The

  essence
• 34:58
  of

  man,
• 35:08
  John
• 35:09
  Unitas.
• 35:11
  I

  just

  being

  there
• 35:13
  firsthand
• 35:14
  to

  around,
• 35:17
  you
• 35:17
  know,
• 35:18
  everybody
• 35:18

• 35:19
  you
• 35:19
  know,
• 35:20
  he's
• 35:20
  always
• 35:20
  very

  humble,

  you

  know,
• 35:23

  He

  always
• 35:24
  said,
• 35:25
  you
• 35:25
  know,
• 35:25
  it
• 35:25
  doesn't
• 35:25
  cost
• 35:26
  anything
• 35:26
  to
• 35:26
  be
• 35:26
  Nice.
• 35:27
  You
• 35:27
  know,
• 35:28
  you
• 35:28
  can
• 35:28
  make
• 35:28
  somebody's
• 35:29
  day
• 35:29
  with
• 35:29
  a
• 35:30
  simple
• 35:30
  wave,
• 35:30
  a
• 35:30
  shake
• 35:31
  of
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  hand,
• 35:31
  you
• 35:31
  know,
• 35:32
  taking
• 35:32
  30
• 35:32
  seconds
• 35:33
  to
• 35:33
  listen,
• 35:33
  you
• 35:34
  know,
• 35:34

  story
• 35:34
  they

  thing.

  Yeah.
• 35:43
  Very
• 35:43
  important

• 35:45
  to
• 35:46
  take

  his

• 35:47
  like
• 35:47
  that.
• 35:47
  He

  really
• 35:48
  did.
• 35:48
  And
• 35:50
  as
• 35:51
  you

• 35:55
  as
• 35:56
  valued
• 35:56
  friends
• 35:57
  almost,
• 35:57
  and
• 35:58
  that's
• 35:59
  the
• 35:59
  way
• 35:59
  the
• 35:59
  man
• 35:59
  was.
• 36:00
  Now,
• 36:01
  the
• 36:01
  life
• 36:01
  lessons
• 36:02
  that
• 36:02
  he
• 36:02
  passed
• 36:03
  on
• 36:03
  to
• 36:03
  you,
• 36:03
  Joel,
• 36:04
  give
• 36:05
  us
• 36:05
  an
• 36:05
  example
• 36:06
  of
• 36:06
  some
• 36:06
  of
• 36:06
  the
• 36:06
  things
• 36:07
  and
• 36:07
  how
• 36:08
  would
• 36:08
  he
• 36:08
  incorporate
• 36:09
  this.
• 36:09
  How
• 36:10
  would
• 36:10
  he
• 36:10
  bestow
• 36:11
  upon
• 36:11
  you
• 36:12
  some
• 36:12
  of
• 36:13
  some
• 36:13
  of
• 36:13
  his
• 36:13
  values?
• 36:16
  Well,
• 36:16
  I
• 36:16
  think
• 36:16
  one
• 36:16
  of
• 36:17
  the
• 36:17
  biggest
• 36:18
  ones
• 36:18
  was
• 36:18
  about
• 36:19
  being
• 36:19
  disciplined.
• 36:20
  You
• 36:21
  know,
• 36:21
  most
• 36:21
  kids,
• 36:22
  when
• 36:22
  they're,
• 36:22
  you
• 36:23
  know,
• 36:23
  kindergarten,
• 36:24
  first
• 36:25
  grade,
• 36:25
  they're
• 36:26
  learning
• 36:26
  how
• 36:26
  to
• 36:26
  spell,
• 36:27
  you
• 36:27
  know,
• 36:27
  dog
• 36:27
  and
• 36:28
  cat.
• 36:28
  I
• 36:28
  was
• 36:28
  learning
• 36:28
  how
• 36:29
  to
• 36:29
  spell
• 36:29
  the
• 36:29
  word
• 36:29
  discipline.
• 36:31
  Yeah,
• 36:32
  that
• 36:32
  was
• 36:32
  a
• 36:32
  big
• 36:32
  one.
• 36:33
  That
• 36:33
  was
• 36:33
  a
• 36:33
  big
• 36:33
  one
• 36:33
  for
• 36:34
  him.
• 36:35
  But,
• 36:35
  yeah,
• 36:35
  you're
• 36:36
  not
• 36:36
  going
• 36:36
  to,
• 36:36
  you
• 36:36
  know,
• 36:37
  you're
• 36:37
  not
• 36:37
  going
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  be
• 36:37
  successful
• 36:38
  in
• 36:38
  life
• 36:38
  if
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  don't
• 36:38
  have
• 36:39
  discipline
• 36:39
  to
• 36:39
  put
• 36:39
  in
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  time
• 36:40
  and
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  work
• 36:40
  day

  whatever
• 36:43
  you're
• 36:44
  trying
• 36:44
  to
• 36:44
  achieve.
• 36:46
  Another
• 36:46
  thing
• 36:46
  that
• 36:46
  was
• 36:47
  really
• 36:47
  big
• 36:47
  with
• 36:47
  him
• 36:48
  was,

  quit.
• 36:51
  Right.

  There's.
• 36:52
  He
• 36:53
  was.
• 36:53
  His
• 36:53
  line
• 36:54
  was,
• 36:54
  you
• 36:54
  know,
• 36:55
  quitting
• 36:56
  is
• 36:56
  a
• 36:56
  horrible
• 36:56
  habit.
• 36:57
  People
• 36:57
  do
• 36:57
  it
• 36:57
  every
• 36:58
  single
• 36:58
  day.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:00
  So
• 37:00
  don't
• 37:01
  even
• 37:01
  get
• 37:01
  into
• 37:01
  it.
• 37:02
  No,
• 37:03
  that's.
• 37:03
  That's
• 37:04
  why
• 37:04
  I've
• 37:04
  been,
• 37:04
  you
• 37:04
  know,
• 37:05
  started
• 37:05
  working
• 37:06
  on
• 37:06
  this
• 37:06
  movie
• 37:06
  back
• 37:07
  in
• 37:07
  06
• 37:07
  when
• 37:07
  I
• 37:08
  wrote
• 37:08
  the
• 37:08
  script,
• 37:08
  and
• 37:08
  it's
• 37:09
  20,
• 37:10
  24,
• 37:10
  almost
• 37:10
  25
• 37:11
  now,
• 37:11
  and
• 37:12
  haven't
• 37:12
  quit
• 37:12
  and
• 37:12
  won't
• 37:13
  quit.
• 37:13
  There
• 37:14
  you
• 37:14
  go.
• 37:14
  We're
• 37:15
  all
• 37:15
  looking
• 37:16
  forward
• 37:16
  to
• 37:16
  that,
• 37:16
  Joe.
• 37:17
  Now,
• 37:17
  many
• 37:18
  of
• 37:18
  your
• 37:18
  successes
• 37:19
  in
• 37:19
  life,
• 37:20
  and
• 37:20
  there
• 37:20
  have
• 37:21
  been
• 37:21
  many,
• 37:22
  have
• 37:22
  been
• 37:22
  built
• 37:23
  upon
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  foundations
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  Johnny
• 37:25
  laid
• 37:25
  for
• 37:26
  you.
• 37:26
  Give
• 37:27
  us
• 37:27
  an
• 37:27
  example
• 37:27
  of
• 37:28
  something
• 37:28
  there.
• 37:31
  I
• 37:32
  would
• 37:32
  say,
• 37:34
  one
• 37:35
  is
• 37:35
  just
• 37:36
  how
• 37:37
  important
• 37:38
  getting
• 37:39
  your
• 37:39
  education
• 37:40
  is.
• 37:41
  He
• 37:41
  was
• 37:42
  very,
• 37:42
  very
• 37:43
  big
• 37:43
  on
• 37:44
  grades
• 37:44
  because
• 37:44
  he
• 37:44
  wasn't
• 37:45
  the
• 37:45
  best
• 37:45
  student.
• 37:45
  There
• 37:46
  were
• 37:46
  a
• 37:46
  couple
• 37:46
  of
• 37:46
  schools
• 37:46
  he
• 37:47
  couldn't
• 37:47
  get
• 37:47
  into
• 37:48
  for
• 37:48
  college
• 37:48
  because
• 37:49
  of
• 37:49
  his
• 37:49
  academics.
• 37:51
  He
• 37:51
  would
• 37:51
  tell
• 37:51
  us
• 37:52
  that
• 37:52
  you
• 37:52
  can
• 37:52
  get
• 37:52
  a
• 37:53
  lot
• 37:53
  of
• 37:53
  things
• 37:53
  taken
• 37:54
  away
• 37:54
  from
• 37:54
  you
• 37:54
  in
• 37:54
  your
• 37:54
  lifetime,
• 37:55
  but
• 37:56
  your
• 37:56
  education
• 37:56
  isn't
• 37:57
  one
• 37:57
  of
• 37:57
  them.
• 37:58
  So
• 37:58
  get
• 37:58
  that.
• 37:59
  Use
• 37:59
  it
• 37:59
  to
• 38:00
  build
• 38:00
  upon
• 38:00
  whatever
• 38:01
  you
• 38:01
  want
• 38:01
  to
• 38:01
  do
• 38:02
  after
• 38:02
  that.
• 38:03
  And
• 38:03
  then
• 38:03
  implementing
• 38:04
  the
• 38:05
  don't
• 38:05
  quit
• 38:05
  being
• 38:06
  disciplined.
• 38:07
  You'll
• 38:07
  be
• 38:08
  super
• 38:08
  successful
• 38:08
  if
• 38:08
  you
• 38:09
  kind
• 38:09
  of
• 38:09
  do
• 38:10
  those
• 38:10
  things.
• 38:11
  And
• 38:11
  now
• 38:12
  it's
• 38:12
  not
• 38:13
  so
• 38:13
  much
• 38:13
  for
• 38:14
  me
• 38:14
  about
• 38:14
  implementing
• 38:15
  those
• 38:15
  now.
• 38:15
  It's
• 38:16
  trying
• 38:16
  to
• 38:16
  instill
• 38:17
  those
• 38:17
  in
• 38:18
  my
• 38:18
  three
• 38:18
  boys
• 38:19
  to
• 38:19
  hope
• 38:19
  that
• 38:20
  they
• 38:20
  can
• 38:20
  go
• 38:20
  on
• 38:21
  to
• 38:21
  be
• 38:21
  successful.
• 38:23
  Now,
• 38:23
  when
• 38:23
  he
• 38:23
  was
• 38:24
  with
• 38:24
  you,
• 38:24
  Joe,
• 38:25
  maybe
• 38:25
  in
• 38:26
  the
• 38:26
  off
• 38:26
  season,
• 38:27
  would
• 38:27
  he
• 38:28
  talk
• 38:28
  football
• 38:29
  to
• 38:29
  you
• 38:29
  or
• 38:29
  would
• 38:30
  he.
• 38:32
  Was
• 38:32
  he
• 38:33
  more
• 38:33
  open
• 38:33
  to
• 38:33
  other
• 38:34
  things
• 38:34
  maybe
• 38:34
  that
• 38:34
  you
• 38:35
  were
• 38:35
  interested
• 38:35
  in?
• 38:36
  Did
• 38:36
  he
• 38:36
  talk
• 38:37
  football
• 38:37
  a
• 38:37
  lot
• 38:37
  to
• 38:38
  you?
• 38:38
  No,
• 38:39
  never.
• 38:40
  Not
• 38:41
  unless
• 38:41
  we
• 38:41
  brought
• 38:41
  it
• 38:41
  up.
• 38:42
  If
• 38:42
  we
• 38:42
  came
• 38:42
  to
• 38:42
  him
• 38:43
  with
• 38:43
  questions
• 38:44
  and,
• 38:44
  you
• 38:44
  know,
• 38:45
  we
• 38:45
  needed
• 38:46
  answers
• 38:46
  or
• 38:46
  advice
• 38:46
  on,
• 38:47
  you
• 38:47
  know,
• 38:47
  things,
• 38:47
  then
• 38:48
  he
• 38:48
  would
• 38:48
  talk
• 38:48
  about
• 38:48
  that
• 38:49
  specifically.
• 38:49
  But
• 38:50
  football
• 38:51
  was
• 38:51
  not
• 38:51
  something
• 38:52
  that
• 38:52
  he
• 38:52
  would
• 38:52
  push
• 38:52
  on
• 38:52
  us.
• 38:53
  He
• 38:53
  actually
• 38:54
  discourage
• 38:55
  us
• 38:55
  from
• 38:55
  playing
• 38:56
  football.
• 38:57
  He
• 38:57
  wanted
• 38:57
  us
• 38:58
  to
• 38:58
  play
• 38:58
  other
• 38:58
  sports.
• 38:59
  He
• 38:59
  said,
• 38:59
  you
• 38:59
  know,
• 38:59
  football,
• 39:00
  it's
• 39:01
  going
• 39:01
  to
• 39:01
  beat
• 39:01
  you
• 39:01
  up,
• 39:02
  right?
• 39:03
  You're
• 39:03
  going
• 39:03
  to
• 39:04
  have
• 39:04
  to
• 39:04
  deal
• 39:04
  with,
• 39:04
  you
• 39:05
  know,
• 39:05
  things
• 39:05
  down
• 39:05
  the
• 39:06
  road.
• 39:06
  He
• 39:07
  was
• 39:07
  always
• 39:07
  like,
• 39:07
  play
• 39:08
  golf.
• 39:08
  The
• 39:09
  sun
• 39:09
  is
• 39:09
  shining,
• 39:10
  the
• 39:10
  weather's
• 39:11
  nice.
• 39:11
  There's
• 39:12
  usually
• 39:12
  pretty
• 39:12
  girls
• 39:13
  around.
• 39:14
  Yeah.
• 39:15
  So
• 39:15
  good.
• 39:16
  My
• 39:16
  younger
• 39:17
  brother,
• 39:17
  he
• 39:17
  listened.
• 39:17
  He
• 39:18
  went
• 39:18
  and
• 39:18
  played
• 39:18
  golf
• 39:19
  in
• 39:19
  college.
• 39:20
  I
• 39:20
  played
• 39:21
  football,
• 39:21
  obviously,
• 39:22
  and
• 39:23
  lacrosse.
• 39:23
  But,
• 39:24
  yeah,
• 39:24
  anything
• 39:25
  that
• 39:25
  we
• 39:25
  wanted
• 39:25
  to
• 39:25
  do
• 39:26
  as
• 39:26
  kids,
• 39:27
  sports,
• 39:29
  music,
• 39:29
  drama,
• 39:30
  whatever
• 39:30
  it
• 39:30
  was,
• 39:31
  he
• 39:31
  and
• 39:32
  my
• 39:32
  mom
• 39:32
  were
• 39:32
  both
• 39:32
  always
• 39:33
  right
• 39:33
  there
• 39:33
  behind
• 39:33
  us
• 39:34
  to
• 39:34
  support
• 39:34
  us.
• 39:35
  Now,
• 39:35
  the
• 39:36
  book
• 39:36
  is
• 39:36
  really
• 39:37
  a
• 39:37
  collection
• 39:37
  of
• 39:38
  20
• 39:38
  lessons.
• 39:40
  How
• 39:41
  could
• 39:41
  you
• 39:41
  break
• 39:41
  it
• 39:42
  down
• 39:42
  to
• 39:42
  20,
• 39:43
  Joe?
• 39:44
  Were
• 39:45
  they
• 39:45
  clearly
• 39:46
  defined,
• 39:47
  or
• 39:47
  was
• 39:47
  it
• 39:47
  something
• 39:48
  that
• 39:48
  really
• 39:48
  stuck
• 39:49
  with
• 39:49
  you,
• 39:49
  that
• 39:49
  your
• 39:49
  father
• 39:50
  inculcated
• 39:51
  in
• 39:51
  you?
• 39:51
  How
• 39:52
  did
• 39:52
  you
• 39:52
  come
• 39:52
  to
• 39:53
  20
• 39:53
  lessons?
• 39:55
  You
• 39:55
  know,
• 39:55
  it
• 39:55
  was
• 39:56
  just.
• 39:56
  I'd
• 39:56
  never
• 39:56
  ever,
• 39:57
  like,
• 39:57
  written
• 39:57
  anything
• 39:58
  down.
• 39:59
  It
• 39:59
  was
• 39:59
  just
• 40:00
  as
• 40:00
  we
• 40:00
  were.
• 40:01
  I
• 40:01
  was
• 40:01
  going
• 40:01
  through
• 40:02
  my
• 40:03
  life
• 40:03
  knowing
• 40:03
  some
• 40:04
  of
• 40:04
  the
• 40:04
  things
• 40:04
  he
• 40:04
  had
• 40:04
  taught.
• 40:05
  What
• 40:05
  are
• 40:05
  the
• 40:05
  different
• 40:06
  experiences
• 40:06
  we
• 40:06
  had?
• 40:06
  And,
• 40:07
  okay,
• 40:07
  well,
• 40:07
  what
• 40:07
  lesson
• 40:08
  was
• 40:08
  kind
• 40:08
  of
• 40:09
  drawn
• 40:09
  from
• 40:10
  that
• 40:10
  experience?
• 40:11
  That's
• 40:11
  how
• 40:12
  we
• 40:12
  kind
• 40:12
  of
• 40:12
  came
• 40:13
  up
• 40:13
  with
• 40:14
  those.
• 40:16
  I
• 40:16
  think
• 40:16
  there
• 40:17
  was
• 40:17
  maybe
• 40:17
  like
• 40:18
  22
• 40:18
  or
• 40:19
  23
• 40:19
  in
• 40:20
  total,
• 40:21
  but
• 40:21
  the
• 40:22
  publisher
• 40:22
  said,
• 40:22
  you
• 40:22
  know,
• 40:23
  20.
• 40:23
  20
• 40:23
  is
• 40:23
  a
• 40:23
  better
• 40:24
  round
• 40:24
  number.
• 40:24
  So
• 40:25
  that's
• 40:25
  what
• 40:25
  we
• 40:25
  went
• 40:25
  with.
• 40:26
  Yeah,
• 40:28
  why
• 40:28
  not?
• 40:28
  Now,
• 40:29
  did
• 40:30
  Johnny.
• 40:30
  You
• 40:30
  ever
• 40:31
  bring
• 40:31
  the
• 40:31
  game
• 40:31
  home
• 40:32
  with
• 40:32
  him?
• 40:34
  No.
• 40:35
  So
• 40:35
  for
• 40:35
  me,
• 40:36
  I'm
• 40:37
  the
• 40:37
  oldest
• 40:38
  of
• 40:38
  the
• 40:38
  second
• 40:39
  marriage,
• 40:39
  so
• 40:40
  I
• 40:40
  wasn't
• 40:40
  even
• 40:40
  born
• 40:41
  when
• 40:41
  he
• 40:41
  was
• 40:41
  playing.
• 40:42
  He
• 40:42
  retired
• 40:43
  in
• 40:43
  73
• 40:45
  and
• 40:45
  I
• 40:45
  was
• 40:45
  born
• 40:46
  in
• 40:46
  74.
• 40:47
  So
• 40:47
  he
• 40:47
  was
• 40:48
  always
• 40:48
  around
• 40:49
  for
• 40:49
  what
• 40:49
  we
• 40:49
  were
• 40:50
  doing.
• 40:50
  Unless
• 40:51
  early
• 40:51
  on,
• 40:52
  when
• 40:52
  I
• 40:52
  was
• 40:52
  a
• 40:52
  really
• 40:52
  little
• 40:53
  kid
• 40:53
  in
• 40:54
  the
• 40:54
  mid
• 40:54
  to
• 40:55
  late
• 40:55
  70s,
• 40:56
  he
• 40:56
  would
• 40:56
  go
• 40:56
  and
• 40:57
  he
• 40:57

  vote.
• 47:07
  David

  Wright.
• 47:10
  He

  got

  6.2%
• 47:12

• 47:12
  the
• 47:12
  second

  of

• 47:14
  David's
• 47:15
  not
• 47:15
  really
• 47:15
  a
• 47:15
  Hall
• 47:16
  of

  Famer,
• 47:16
  but
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  reason
• 47:17
  I
• 47:17
  mention
• 47:18
  David
• 47:18
  Wright
• 47:18
  is
• 47:19
  because
• 47:19
  he
• 47:19
  is
• 47:19
  a
• 47:19
  New
• 47:19
  York
• 47:20
  Met
• 47:20
  and
• 47:21
  he
• 47:21
  will
• 47:21
  have

  his
• 47:21
  number
• 47:22
  retired
• 47:22
  this
• 47:23
  year.
• 47:23
  I
• 47:24
  believe
• 47:24
  it's
• 47:24
  in
• 47:24
  June
• 47:25
  at
• 47:25
  Citi
• 47:26
  Field
• 47:26
  and
• 47:26
  he
• 47:27
  will
• 47:27
  also
• 47:27
  be
• 47:27
  inducted

• 47:31
  So
• 47:31
  a
• 47:32
  big
• 47:32

• 47:34
  notwithstanding
• 47:35
  for
