Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Tabino and
Rich podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:16):

Speaker 1 (00:22):
We let off Friday show talking about baseballs popping. In fact,
if we were doing a drinking game on Friday, starting
the weekend early, we would have had a drink or
do a shot at least seventy five times. We said
baseball's popping. At least seventy five times in the first
two hours.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Baseball's popping. Baseball's popping.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
We've been abusing, leaning into that baseball's doing everything right.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Treat Deadline.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
You got the Bristol Motor Speedway game, the Superstars bro
they're marketing. We were popping, swinging, swinging, pun intended from
the from the balls of Major League Baseball. There you
go from the Major League base balls and when they're
doing everything right, we're cheering. But when they do something wrong,

(01:10):
we also have to be consistent and bring it up
because it seems like something that was supposed to be awesome,
just wasn't. And is it all Major League Baseball's fault. Yes,
kind of because they weren't prepared. But we can't let
mother Nature off the hook. I mean the Bristol Motor
Speedway game, Danny. I remember when you first sent me
the overhead of what it looked like. I'm like, man,

(01:31):
they fit a baseball field on that racetrack, like, you know,
almost one hundred thousand people.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, very cool visual it.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Looked nout side.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
You have to remember the reasoning, right, they're trying to
do special events.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
They did the field the Dreams game.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
They've done a few different games to bring more fun
to the MLB. So this year they're doing the Bristol
Motor Speedway the first ever Major League Baseball game in
the state of Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
So everybody's all.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, a game of baseball, not horseshoes, game of baseball
in the state of Tennessee, Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Pitbull Worldwide was there helping to open it.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Up, Sae, dude, not only Pitbull eighty five thousand plus
at the Bristol Motor Speedway and it was really cool
how they did it. But again, it was an unconventional field.
It wasn't meant for proper drainage. They weren't expecting this
much rain, and it rained and it rained and it delayed.
And I don't know about you guys, but I was

(02:33):
watching and I felt so embarrassed and so sad for
the fan. I felt embarrassed for MLB, even though it
wasn't their fault, but it was like this big event
and then rain was ruined. It's like a rain on
your wedding day, isn't it ironic, don't you think? And
I'm like, I feel so bad and all the fans
that went there with their kids and families for the
first time ever, and it's raining and it's delayed, and

(02:56):
it starts and it delays again. The field's not draining,
and the glisten they kept talking about the field is glistening,
and I was listening and I was embarrassed for the
whole thing.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
It felt so bad.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
And then no, and then and then they were able
to pick up the game the next day, so it's
already sort of a fail. But again, mother Nature, the
deflated feeling of taking your family there and all the
promotion that was involved in this game to then cancel it,
and I understood they had to, but they canceled the
game and everyone has to go home with their umbrellas,
all sogging, wet and mopi and probably consoling their kids

(03:34):
because they maybe couldn't make it back the next day.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Well, then we saw on social media some fans complaining
because they ran out of hot dog buns right away,
so they were serving hot dogs without the buns. Asked
Joey Chestnut about that, And then what was the other complaint?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Rich? Oh, nachos without cheese.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Without the cheese, without cheese.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
They had cereal without the milk, and without the burger,
peanut butter, no jelly like So then they start getting
criticized for not being prepared. And when you start talking
about no buns, I'm out because Cauzino and Rich love puns,
that is true. And they start comparing it to the
Fire Festival, which was the failed music.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Festival coming in a little too far wheah.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
They were like, remember the gourmet food, It was like
a cheese sandwiches. Then they were sleeping intents just within
the show. We were all tuned in to watch it.
Did you watch it the next day? Because I didn't.
I did not to be honest, That's what I'm saying.
So how many people out of the eighty five thousand
that were there all excited with their cotton candy and

(04:38):
they're a hot dog in their hand? At least I
hope that was a hot dog. How many you think
went back the next day? Was it as packed? From
the footage I saw? It didn't look it.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I mean, I think overall was a great idea.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It was sometimes whether sometimes whether you're taking it like,
all right, how many times have you had a friend
or you know, your buddy and a his wife get
married and they're taking a big chance. They're like, well,
cocktail hours outdoors, and I mean, if it rains, we'll
try to squeeze everyone in the little reception area, but
we're crossing our fingers.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Those scenarios go.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Wrong sometimes, and so I hope they don't, but they do.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
They do.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
And we call this when weather strikes, because it ruined
what was supposed to be a really big weekend for
the MLB and all the fans in Tennessee that went
to see the game Bristol Motor Speedway. And again, is
it all the MLB's fault. No, But they.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Weren't prepared properly.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
So therefore, yes, but you can't control mother nature, and
it really struck down in a big way.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So was it a wedding, was it a big party?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Was it something that was special to you that was
ruined because of the weather, Maybe a vacation Because I
got a story. I know Rich has a story, and
we open it up to everybody at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Anyone that has, you know, any
outdoor event, has has in their life taken the risk
of like, man, I hope it doesn't rain that day.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I mean, that's that's that's normalcy.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
I also think that at least a good thing, if
you want to take a positive out of it, is
again it highlights the fact that hot dog buns are
made in eight and hot dog packages by some companies
are ten. Yes, and so when you see when you
see the no buns hot dog it kind of brings
this topic back to the forefront on why some major

(06:28):
corporations cannot just make packages.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Of eight unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I agree with it's one of the biggest unspoken schemes
it is in life, and people don't realize that no
scrubs actually was no buns, but then they changed it
to Scrubs later on.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
But you didn't know that, Cavino, I don't want no buns. Yes,
that's a little known music fact. Man.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I you know, so no buns bad weather, you know,
I remember back in the day. Now, granted it wasn't
my real only reason to go there, but my wife
and I went with another couple. We were friends with. Ooh,
Swinger Action. I'm just keeping his sports really Oh yeah, yeah.
We went with another couple for a little double date

(07:12):
weekend down to South Beach, and part of the agenda
was to see Lebron James play for the Miami Heat
when he was in his primo days, right when the
Heat was winning and you know it was you know,
Dwayne Wade bosh Lebron, and I said, you know what,
why don't we go see a Miami Heat game? And

(07:32):
then we're in South Beach for the whole weekend. When
I tell you that whole weekend, other than the two
hours I was in the arena watching Lebron James, it
was like a torrential downpour hurricane to the point where
I feel like my wife and I just sat in
like the hotel lobby for three days just having cocktails.
Like weather can ruin a trip. How many times have

(07:53):
you looked at your weather app when you're headed to
an island or something and you're like, oh, dude, I
want you to play a long at home. In fact, everybody,
if you're in the car, you're on the iHeartRadio app.
Wherever you are, pullover to the side, or at your
next stop light, or when you get home, pull it over.
Pull out your phone. Pull out your phone right now,
Rich Danny dB dan Byer on the update, Sam, Everybody

(08:15):
pull out their phone.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, I'm heading to Orlando.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm in New Jersey right now, visiting my family, celebrating
my birthday week, and then I'm heading to Florida with
my daughter on Wednesday. Right Wednesday night, look up the
weather in Orlando, and again it is Florida.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
But please look at the forecast in Orlando for when
I'm there later this week. Do you mean the days
where you're planning on being in an amusement park all day? Everybody,
take out your phone, pull out the weather. It's nothing
but lightning and clouds and rain every day on there.
And I get it, you know, with tropical weather sometimes

(08:54):
it could be an afternoon shower and then the rest
of the day is beautiful.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
So you never know. But every single gold day.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's like on Monday, it's like you're bringing it with.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You, yo, dude, And then I leave on Monday and
you look at Monday sun sunshine, Dude.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh no, and dude, my daughter never has gone to
Disney World. I'm trying to make this my last h
rack because she's gonna be sixteen and she's not gonna
want to hang with dad anymore. So I'm like, I'm
really gonna make this a special daddy daughter weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's'd be great.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
She shows me the forecast, She's like, Dad, the wather's
gonna suck, And I feel like such an ass hat.
Now you can't predict that, hey, and neither could the
mL BE. See what I'm saying, But it happens, mother
nature strikes. What's your story? Eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. I can't tell you. I'm not exaggerating. You'll
see it later. If you look up the weather in

(09:46):
Orlando next week, every day showers, storms, every day except
for the day I leave. On money, you don't have
to be worried about getting wet on Splash Mountain exactly,
Like how weak is that electrocuted?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:59):
And at least there's only sixty percent of the days
that have thunder and lightning, so you've got that you're
just wet. I'm just not going to be electrocuting, yea dB.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
How many times like I feel like as a kid
that overcast not sure if the baseball game is going
to be played? Was anxiety written as a little kid.
You're a golfrien now missty feeling. How many times have
you been on the fence like do I go?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Do I not?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Is the weather going to hold up?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Like golfing is a big thing because you're committing to
hours on a course.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yes, yes, people plan trips in certain ways. I've thought
about this a lot, like if you go to the
mecca of all golf trips, is you go play Saint
Andrews in Scotland, the home of golf. That's what I
think anybody who loves the game would love to do.
And I've thought about this like what are the odds
that you get a perfect day in Scotland?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Scott I picture Scotland as overcast imminently yes, with winds blowing,
which is the defense of the golf course.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
But you're absolutely right, like you are at the Mercy.
And I've thought about this, whether it be golf or
other stuff I've thought about like you were talking about
my ami. We're all bound to have bad vacations at
some point, but you never ever going in going into them,
think it's going to be that one. And that's the
disappointment of it. So I was thinking to myself, Gosh,

(11:11):
we're gonna plan a vacation and it's gonna stink at
some point, which is going to Yeah, it absolutely is.
But weather is a huge, huge deal, especially when you're
trying to play golf. But that's also part of the
like the genius of it. When I mentioned st Andrews.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
You're you're so right because a lot of times people
chuck up weather to like, you know, like I rolly
small talking oh the weather. But weather does play such
a huge factor in your vacations in sports.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I'm gonna take you back to.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
The only game ever played in Tennessee. Yeah, and the
only game ever played. You remember last year? I know,
I remember you guys probably don't give a crap, but
you remember the last week of the season, the Mets
and Braves were like tied for first place, and they
had a three game series and the whole thing was
washed out.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
They had to do a double hatter.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
So like it could cramp sports, it could cramp a
golf weekend.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Imagine you get so.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Little vacation, You're like, honey, we're going up Ruba, Mexico, Florida,
and you finally have a chance away from the kids.
You're a picture in Romance Sonny Beaches, and you're sitting
in a lobby watching a downpour. I think we've all
been there one time, and if not deep be pointed out,
then you're due.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yes, yes, it's going to happen one time or another
for sure.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Well, I felt so bad for everybody.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I felt bad for the MLB, especially after we were
just singing its praises, how MLB had done no wrong
and they're back in a big way. Now it's getting
all this fire fest stigma stuck to this game. And
it makes me think of another story. Rich you remember
this story. It's my sister's my girlfriend's sister and her
husband went to Chia Chanitza and they went no, not

(12:44):
chea Chinitza Peru, Peru.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Uh, come on, help me out Peru. Everybody. Sam's a
Peru expert.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Sam, Peru, Peru. Would you see in Peru? I think
you're good with I don't think you don't know. It's
a famous lands. Once was a man from Peru. Uh,
Machu Pichuh. Okay, that is correct. I said, you need
to ask Mexico the Pokemon you Machu Pichu. They went

(13:17):
all out and I don't know, maybe they went to lake.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
But they were. They were going all out right, and
they went all.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Overboard where they were so involved, and they, oh, we're
gonna go to Machu Pichu and everything. And dude, they
went and got to the top of the mountain on
an overcast, cloudy day. It was full on fog to
the point where they couldn't see their nose in front
of their face.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
They couldn't see anything.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
So you're going there to take pictures and and sight
see if there's any sort of inclement weather or inclement
weather however you want to say it, and there's fog
and mist and rain, it could really put a damper
on everything. So that's what happened this weekend. Our buddy
Mouser us up and he goes. All our friends from
the West coast flew into Kentucky for the derby. We

(14:04):
had a whole day planned. They dressed to the nines
and they were underneath cheapest ponchaws all day. One of
the derbies over the last couple of years was just disgusting.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
So that's misery. It's inevitable that it will happen time
you have.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
To bust out a goofy ass poncho like that at
a game or a vacation. It's like mother nature was
not on your side. The gods were against you. And
that's exactly what happened when weather strikes, and it did
this week and at the Bristol Motor.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Speedway, waw waw.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
And I would love to get this stat if we
could call our friends at the Elias Sports Bureau or
Danny g if you could look this up.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Maybe Dan Byer.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Knows, because he knows all eighty five thousand plus showed
up that first day, how many showed up the second day?
Because they when I saw some of the highlights, it
looked a little sparse. It didn't look as packed as
it did the day before.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
They only have the list of attendance as ninety one thousand,
so I don't know if that's taken from the previous day.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Well that was the first day, eleven and then only
six thousand showed up.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
The next game.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, they're not showing any listing for Sunday's attendance.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
See, because it looked weak. It's so sad, dude, I
felt so bad about that.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
They had an off day. Did they have an off day?

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Was that was scheduled because it was something like that,
like you have to kind of plan for rain. Yeah,
they do it at the beginning of the year, so
I don't think that they were scheduled to play on Sunday.
I will say this, Cavino specifically with your I'm sure
Orlando may not be top three of the places you'd
like to go, But there are times when you go
on a vacation that you aren't necessarily looking forward to,
it turns out better than you expected. So that is

(15:39):
the other side of the coin from what we're talking about.
So as you go in thinking that the forecast is
going to be bad, you could have an entire break
and it could make the day that much better.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Sometimes it chocks you. I mean not that we were
going to play. Uh, let's look at the weather. But
you remember a couple weeks ago, Kavino, I was in
New York with my family. Yeah, leading up to that week,
every day, including the day when I was bringing my
kids City Field to see the Mets for the first time,
that whole week said rain in New York, And somehow,
last minute it just sort of went around.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
So you know, maybe you get lucky, man.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
But again, we've all been If I pray really, really hard,
I could have fun on the tea cups.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well on how we met your mother, Ted prayed for rain.
It happened.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Maybe you pray for rain and it doesn't happen. We'll
see that's but yeah, no weather plays a factor. And
you know, it's an interesting thought. I wonder how many
crucial games were the result of a day they weren't
supposed to happen. And I only know this one obviously
because I'm a Mets fan. But you remember eighty six,
Game six obviously gets by Buckner, the famous Mookie Wilson
ball goes under Bill Buckner's legs. Of course, that was

(16:39):
Game six. Everyone thinks, like, is that when the Mets
won the World Series. Now that was game six. Game
seven was scheduled for the next day, and it was
rained out that Game seven was pushed back a couple
of days. So the reality is at that time, apparently
the sentiment was all right, well, the Red Sox got
a break because they get a chance to sort of

(17:00):
mentally reset met still one game seven, But a lot
of times, like a crucial game will be postponed, then
you don't realize, like what would have happened. Well, props
again to Eli why he hit two home runs and
the Braves beat the Reds four to two Bristol Motor Speedway.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
We'll get the rest of your story. Do you run
it back?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Do you run it back again knowing that the attendance
was there, it was just some missteps. You got to
run that back, right, Yeah, I think you do.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I thought the potential was there. I thought it looked great.
I thought it was amazing how they built that field.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Just rainage system.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, yeah, I know they got to be better prepared there.
But you know, we talked about how even the Savannah
Bananas have pushed the entertainment factor up for the MLB,
The fact that they were able to pull a crowd
of eighty five thousand plus.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's insane. How did they not? Yeah, no doubt, I
will maybe a big learning lesson. Rich. It's like rain
when you're going to Disney World.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
And the Animal Kingdom, then MGM, Hollywood Studios, then Epcot.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
And just rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, go away.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's like rain when you're going to Bristol Motors Speedway
with eighty five thousand other people, and it ruins the
whole time. Think all the little kiddies Rich so pumped
to get their little special speedway jerseys and their little
hot dogs. They're all excited and they had to sit
there in the rain for hours. Bro And again, is

(18:29):
it all Baseball's fault? No, But if we got to
sing its praises all the time, we have to point
out the fact that they were unprepared for this, and
hopefully a learning lesson because it looked dope. But this
is something we call when weather strikes. But we have
more to get to, you know, when weather struck in
the world of football. Luckily, I think football lucked out
the one super Bowl that was outdoors in a cold

(18:50):
weather climate recently, Remember the one Super Bowl in New
York at MetLife.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, they lucked out that it was okay. That could
have been a disaster.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Do you remember the Super Bowl in Dallas where, of
course it's indoors, but it snowed that week and everyone
in the town was unprepared, meaning all the guests, all
the fans, the media. We were trying to get around
Dallas was like.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
An ice storm.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
And it was an ice storm. People are slipping and falling.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Dude, No one knows how to drive. They didn't have
the trucks with the the salt. It was a disaster.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
Well do do you guys also remember it was the
one Super Bowl championship that Peyton Manning won with the
Colts taking on the Bears. And I was in Miami
and that was.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
A wet one. Yeah, that was a wet one.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Was that where Prince also, yeah, performed, So we had
rain for the halftime show, rain for the game.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
It was an okay game.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
That made it cool than it made it cool in
the rain, for sure, But that doesn't mean it's always great.
We're lying from the Fox Sports radio studio, the bi
Coastal Coveno and Rich.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
We're on the streets.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
By the ways, We're gonna be filling in a lot

be here. So it's no longer run on the streets.
The bus just texted us Covenhod writch in for DA.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
So happy to be here with you today. I hope
you had a nice weekend. And now we go to
your phone calls again when weather strikes eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich super producer
Danny g who we got.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Let's start with Taylor in Illinois. Yeah, what's up, Taylor?

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Hey, how's it going?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
What's up? Man?

Speaker 7 (20:34):
I just wanted to share the story that I had.
Me and my wife, we planned our wedding for a
few months and it was in Myrtle Beach and we
it was coming up right to our wedding and we
saw a hurricane coming into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and
the hurricane's name was Matthew, and my wife's father's name

(20:59):
was matt You, so I'm like his mother nature trying
to tell me something here, stay away. And so my
wife was calling our wedding planner and like, is there anything?
Are we all good still for our date? And it's like, oh,
we're just having a hurricane, but you're all good, dude.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Let me tell you, we've all convinced ourselves a lot
of times the misfortune happens, what do we like to say, Oh,
it's good luck. It's a great way to brainwash yourself.
Rain on your wedding day, bird poops on your head. Oh,
those are all good luck things, just twisted.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Can you know you were wiping the poop off your head?
Good luck? Where do you want to go? Let's say
a mic and Indy, Yes, sir, Indy.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
What's up? Mike?

Speaker 8 (21:35):
Hey, guys, how's it going?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
We're good man.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Baseball's been doing all the right things, but they got
some bad luck this past weekend. I mean that Bristol
Motor Speedway thing. You know how it is like drainage
in the field, unless it's a professional field, it was doomed.

Speaker 8 (21:48):
Yeah, yeah, I got a great story for you. Last
year at Indy five, it was raining at start time,
but my buddy had a camper. They scored a spot
right outside the gate entrance, Kate, so we all hung
out there under the canopy while it was raining. We
all grilled out, drank beer all day. Turned out to

(22:08):
be the greatest rain delay of all time.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, I love that nice sound.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
So I don't remember the full story, and thank you
man again. There's a lot of memorable moments thanks to
the rain. In fact, you know, one of the guys
we're going to talk about later, Robin Ventura, would always
put on a show. Remember he did the Mike Piazza
thing in the rain and the rain delays and all
that stuff. Every bluebir every Bloopers video from the eighties
showed UH players sliding on the tarp.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah seriously, no for real.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
But wasn't the story from the ninety nine Woodstock all
the mud and all that stuff having to do with
the rain that was involved there.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Like remember they were throwing so much mud and it
was mudding.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
People thought it was mud that they were sliding in.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then people thought it was mud they sliding in,
and then they ran out of water.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Like, you know, the whole weather was the weather was.
It made that whole experience even more of a disaster. Yeah,
I want to take one more call.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Steven Florida says he has Disney World advice for you, Cove.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh what's up, buddy.

Speaker 9 (23:10):
I've been living in Florida for a long time. But
the best thing that can happen is to have some
rain when you and your daughter get to Disney. Because
what you do is you buy those two dollars ponchos,
put them on, have a bag that's got a couple
of tonnels, and if it's not pouring, the whole place
empties out and you get to go run through all

(23:32):
the rides in lickety split time. My daughter and I
did it. She was nine, and we made nine rides
inside of an hour and fifteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up and I
appreciate you all, Thank you so much. But you know what, Steve,
the best dad in the world, did me. I went
and but all those lightning passes already and they're not cheap.
So what happens if that is the case. I thought
all about this man, you spent it's a cut of
line that's not existing. It's lightning and thunder passes. Now, yeah, exactly.

(24:05):
I bought the scattered shower passes by the state. Hell oh,
thank you man. We'll keep you posted on that. But
I hope everybody had a decent time on the next day,
even though I didn't have any buns. And I know
having no buns is sad. So what got soggy buns?
That's all you goggy buns. The only one that wants
us are Joey Chestnut. All right, you had soggy buns

(24:29):
last week, Rich when.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
You were a danger girl at soggy Buns.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Universal Saudios, soggy buns. I do want to talk about.
There's a bunch we're gonna get to today. I want
to after we go to DV for an update. Today's
an anniversary of one of the most legendary moments in
the last fifty years of baseball, and we'll get to
it. It has to do with a guy you mentioned, Robin Ventura,
but we'll get to that after DB's update.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
What's going on, Dan Byer?

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Hey, Dan, I'm wondering if that history happened in a
ballpark that I was famili you're with I'm curious.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I'm curious. We shall see.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time
for our tire Rack play of the day. With his
second home run of the day. We've been talking about
it rich this whole hour at the Speedway Classic, Eli
White finally put the rein soak.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Baby to bed. He brings it. Eli smashes another one
back to the wall. This one flies. How about some
more horsepower from Eli White. It's Homer fire up the
pace car. HiT's more two braids.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, that was courtesy the Braves Radio Network and that
was our TIRAQT play of the day. And by the way,
Eli White, remember that that'll be the answer to a
trivia question, who like what big leaguer hit home runs
in the state of Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
The answer is the first. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
For over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rackt
the way tire buying should be happy. Nolan Ryan Day,
We're going to talk about that in a minute. Plus
last one standing lots to get to on the show.
But we've been talking about this Speedway Classic and how

(26:10):
mother nature didn't want to didn't want to help the situation.
And it happens, dude, It happens in sports, it happens
in life. You know, mother and nature doesn't always cooperate.
And I think the lesson is.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Being able to roll with.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
The punches, like you know, make your best, make the
best you can out of it, like that one guy said, hey, listen,
we went under a ten tailgated, had food and drink,
like you know, you just got to make the best
of it, and you know it's there's nothing you could
do right, So like stare I need.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
To laugh back on but in the moment, it sucks.
Oh yeah, I know exactly.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Talking about Danny g and I were just saying, if
you've ever been up to the Bay Area in San Francisco.
I remember taking a friend up there and they just
wanted to pitch with them and their wife in front
of the Golden Gate Bridge. But some days it is
just clouds and fog layer in front of the bridge,
like one big Charlie Hayes, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Yeah, and then big hay on the Central Coast Moro
Bay is like a romantic getaway spot, take your significant
other for the weekend. And Moro Rock three stacks in
a rock really famous. There's weekends where you don't see
the rock at all, just fog, and so some people
think it's not even there.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
So I'll say this again because we've been talking so
high on baseball.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
The Field of Dreams.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Game amazing and again that's under construction right now. So
they went and did the what the Rick wid Field game,
that East West Classic that was really.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Great in Birmingham, Alabama.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
This one the intention was fantastic, like it was looking
so promising, eighty five thousand plus, but again the downpour
got in the way. We'll wrap it up with one
more phone call. Who do we got the nygh.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Let's go to some usually beautiful weather in Honolulu. Butch,
what's butch?

Speaker 10 (27:53):
Hey guys, Hey, Hey, So two stories. I'll make a short.
One is a good one. At Aloha Stadium about three
or four years ago in Honolulu, Gunts and Roses.

Speaker 11 (28:08):
Was playing and.

Speaker 10 (28:10):
When they started playing govimber Rain it was raining.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's cooy cool.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I mean, listen, sometimes if you're okay with the weather
being a little suspect. Sometimes it makes for a memorable moment,
can you know's right? In the moment, you might be like,
but looking back, I saw Aerosmith at What's that outdoor
places a p and c art in Jersey. It was
pouring and he was singing dream On in the rain,
and looking back, I'm like, that was probably one of
the coolest moments I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
So you got to just accept it.

Speaker 10 (28:38):
My other weather store is a cruise from Texas supposed
to be down to Mexico to through the golf hurricane.
Five days on. The ship only got off from once
and spent like twelve hundred dollars on booze.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, it happens, man, We've all been there, and that's
you can wrap it up with that. We've all been
on a vacation. We've all had plans to go to
a big game in Kentucky, Derby, a golf event, US Open, Tennis.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
You plan on going somewhere. Weather doesn't cooperate. It happens.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Baseball, unfortunately, was the sucker this weekend that didn't plant accordingly,
and you know, fields drained differently based on how official
they are. Danny out here in the valley looking around.
There's fields that drained perfectly because they put money into it,
and then there's others where if it rains, no one's
playing for a week. So it's all about the drainage.
So tiling, tiling, tiling, Iowa, Sam, you sold about the

(29:29):
Benjamins bro Yeah, So next hour we talk Luca last
one standing, and we got to celebrate Nolan Ryan Day.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Next.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
If you don't know what that is, well it's the
anniversary nineteen ninety three. On this day, someone took a
knuckle sandwich and that guy was Robin Ventura at the
hands of a forty six year old Nolan Ryan, which,
by the way, looking back, I thought forty six he
was ancient, and now I'm like, no, not so much.
Nolan Ryan was forty six. I would have thought back

(29:58):
then he was one hundred and forty six. And by
the way, when you when you think of Robin Ventura,
I think as the as I believe Dan Patrick will
say he's in the Hall of very good, Hall of Good.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
He's not a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
But Robin Ventura was a staple in Major League baseball
for a good decade plus. Like Robin Ventura was a
solid ball player, no doubt, And it's just that's why
it's a shame. It's it's not quite Dwight Evans, where
Dwight Evans was a really great player and will forever
be synonymous with the error.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Robin Ventore is a really good player.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yet it's a shame we still think of him getting
pounded by in the head by Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Are you thinking, Bill bucking you said Dwight Evans? Did
I say Dwight Evans. That's so weird? What makes you why?
Why is DWIGHTE Evans on your mind?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Well, he's another Red Sox with a great mustache, with
a great mustache.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Maybe that's a strange Dwight Evans whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Bill, Bill Buckner, Yeah, we're forever thinking of that guy.
So it's a shame that he's remembered that way. And
I love the backstory, the backstory. If you've never watched
the documentary, well again, it was nineteen ninety three, that's
the thing, it's the anniversary today. If you've never watched

(31:10):
a documentary facing Nolan, first of all, I would highly
recommend it, go check it out. It's a great watch.
You realize what a great influence his wife was, how
deep down inside Nolan Ryan. For a guy with the
most strikeouts in Major League Baseball history, he's more of
like a cowboy rancher than a ballplayer. Like the guy
played baseball, it's felt like he was good at it,

(31:31):
but his heart and soul is that he's like a rancher.
That's what he is. He's a country boy. And to
think a country boy ends up playing in New York
southern California. Meanwhile, he just the guy's Texas, right and
old asked Nolan Ryan at the time, who is way
better than twenty somethings now is on the hill?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
And here's the story that you learn in the documentary.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
I don't want to give away too much, but it's
important to tell the backstory on the anniversary because we
all just picture Nolan Ryan and like you said, punching
Vin turned the head, giving him nookies right like three stooges.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
If you haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
This documentary, there's two factors. Early on in Nolan Ryan's career,
someone had charged the mound and Nolan Ryan was a
bit timid, like he wasn't ready for it, and he
regretted it. He regretted not being for being a big
tough guy that he is. He regretted not being ready
for that moment, so he said, if someone ever charges

(32:28):
the mouth again, I'm gonna have to whoop their ass.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
He had this mental note in his back pocket for
the rest of.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
His career, like I won't let that happen again.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Like, all right, so someone charged the mouth, I sort
of looked a little soft like Nolan Ryan. I am
if this happens again, someone charges me, I'm gonna be
the aggressor and whooped their ass. Robin Ventura is a
young player. Robin Ventura does not want to charge the mound,
but the sentiment was listen, if someone gets hit, just

(32:59):
to send the message, you have to charge the mount. Yeah,
it was established pre game, right, the team had already said,
whoever gets hit, you have to do this to let
it be known. We're not gonna take that sort of
a young Robin Ventura was like, I don't I don't
want it.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Do you think I want to.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Charge a mound at old ass who I probably admire,
Nolan Ryan. So Nolan Ryan is already for the moment, like, yo,
if this is about to go down, I'm not backing down.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
And Robin Ventura.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
You could tell he hesitates because he's reluctant because he's
a he's a young kid, so he has to listen
to the veterans like if you get hit, you're charging.
So you could see the reluctance from Ventura with the
aggression of Nolan Ryan, which is why it ended in
an ass woman because Robin Ventora never wanted and went
Coco Savage. Do you remember Coco Savage from the game

(33:52):
Matt Mania. Yeah, he went Coco Savage on him, just
hitting him on the top of the dome. It was
so embarrassing. You know what can somebody count how many
can executive punches he got on the top of the
dome because it was legendary, and that got us thinking
on this anniversary in nineteen ninety three, at the age
of forty six, was there a fight or a moment

(34:12):
or a brawl that forever change the image of somebody
in your mind? A fight changed how you thought of
that person. Let us know at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox, it could have been just a regular fight,
but on the diamond on the court, these things will
definitely leave an impression for sure. I think there's a
bunch of these that leave an impression. In fact, if

(34:32):
you want to keep a current before, we reminisce a
little bit Sophie Cunningham, Where's Sam calls her Sophie Stunningham?
Her simply getting the back of Caitlin Clark and roughing
up some other WNBA women. She gained the million Instagram
followers and campaigns, and now Sophie Cunningham is a non

(34:53):
name in the WNBA, and I think the origin of
that is simply just defending Haitlyn Clark. She gained a
reputation for sure, it helped her in a big way,
and now she's out there calling people out and she's
sort of bowled on her podcast, so she is leaning
into it now. I mean, it's who she is. But
that put it on a major, major scale, on a

(35:16):
major platform. I think if you want to talk about
adding to the reputation of someone, or maybe Cavino creating
a villain status. When Pedro Martinez threw down old ass
Don Zimmer, it changed his image for I mean, Yankees
fans hated him already because he was a red soide.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
That's what we're talking about. Moments where you look at
the person.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, everybody everybody hated him after that, and looking back,
what was he supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
You got some old guy? You know, I always pictured
don Zimmer.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I picture him wearing the army helmet in that mean
to that moment, even though he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
You got an old guy in an army helmet charging
at you.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
You know, what are you supposed to do? He did
an old He did the old ola and tossed him.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, he's a matador right.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
So well, honestly, Sam, looking back, Cam, he knows, right,
what was Pedro supposed to do? He did the most
gentle thing. He just went to the side stim and
he treated Don Zimmer like a like a bull like.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
But at the time, man.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It just made him even more villainous. You're right, we're
like him in his stupid Jerry curl. How can he
do that to the old guy, old Zmo, pop Eye?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
How can he do that?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
And we hated him for it and other baseball ones
rich That forever changed our impression. I think it changed
his own impression of himself. We always say Bautista is
never the same after he got rouffed up by roof Ned.
So we got this impression at roof Ned was some
sort of badass.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Thing he wanted on your clubhouse, and he was.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
He was a personality guy, but we forever in our
mind were like him and his beard. We associate him
as a tough guy that ruined the career of Joey
Batt's well, confidence was gone. You know that was that
was a moment, And that was a moment where you're like,
oh snap, like Bautista's this little song. After that, I thought, maybe,

(37:00):
I know, it's just one moment, but you know, we
saw what we thought was the bully get bullied right
by the smaller guy, and it lowered his stock and
raised roof nets as a result. So the times on
Nolan Ryan Day, the times where these moments changed your
impression of somebody. I got a couple more. I don't
want to steal all the answers. I don't want to
pull a Sam kidding.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I got a bunch.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Who did Albert Bell level at second base? Fernando Vigna
is he did? He can be of the Mariners? Yeah,
I mean he leveled them, dude.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
And you know what, there's a backstory to that too.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
And Albert Bell, if you guys don't remember, he was
like Mike Tyson in a baseball uniform. That dude was
hitting bombs and if you look up his stats, Rich,
they're like insanely impressive. Yeah, I think the backstory was
he warned Vieno once before, like he warren them, like, Yo,
if you're in my way, I'm gonna knock you down.
He do that again, Like he told his story in

(37:57):
recent history that there was a backstory to it.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
It was like a one and done.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
He had like a run in and said, if you're
in my way again, I'm knocking you down. So he
made it memorable, and that dude he got airtime.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Maybe the best thing Albert Bell ever did was try
to convince everybody that he wasn't going to take first
base when he got beamed.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
He got hit my pigeon, he wanted to go for
another home run. Yes, He's like, no, I'm not going
to stay. It's great, I will not take first base.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
That's a great cling.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
And by the way, Rich, I did just a little research.
When Pedro tossed Don Zimmer. Don Zimmer was seventy two,
but he felt like he was ninety two. Yeah, my
dad's seventy three and plays tennis every Weekend right like that? Yeah,
back then we thought he was like the oldest guy
that ever was my good o their abuse. Let me
give you one more and then we'll go straight to

(38:47):
the phone calls. This is one I know no one
will say.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Why should you know.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'll give you two more quickies that no one will say,
and then I'll let you go with the ones I'm
sure you're all thinking about.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Okay, a guy that used to work on does that work?
Jim Rome?

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:03):
When Chris Everett, I mean Jim Everett. He called me
that one more time when he had the wavos to
flip over the table and go at Jim Rome.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Are you like yo?

Speaker 1 (39:12):
You don't f with Chris Evertt? I mean Jim Everett.
I mean that was the wildest clip ever. That was
like one of the first viral things that the world
was down with that was.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
So crazy and people still debate if that was real
or not.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I'll give I'll give you one from the eighties and
then we'll go to your feedback immediately. Danny g I
know he was a West Coast guy, but he played
for the Reds. He played for a few teams. Remember
Eric Davis. Oh yeah, dude, He was a badass.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
He was strong, dude, he was He was a five
tool player for.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Yeah Ruch, do we remember him. We had two full
plastic sheets of all his baseball cards.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Eric Davis was such, in my opinion, a badass an athlete.
Even off the field. You had the sense that he
would he could whoop your ass. Right, he got a
fight intimidated, He got in a fight with Ray Knight,
corny ass, Ray Knight on the Mets, and Ray Knight
like held his own, in fact, took the first punch
and was roughing up Eric Davis. I remember thinking like

(40:06):
Ray Knight, like Detroit Tiger New York met with a mullet,
Ray Knight like. To me, that made me think Ray
Knight really was like that tough eighties met that everyone
thought he was. All right, I'll give you one more too,
and then we'll go to the phones. Okay, one more,
because and especially baseball stands out so much, because baseball
brawls are always so much. We're gonna talk about someone

(40:26):
throwing haymakers.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yes, all right.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Nineteen ninety eight Armando Beneathez his picture for the Orioles.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Right, what he was he? What's he was?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
He?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Blowing saves for them. Oh he was, Yeah, he was.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
He was the villain in this story though, for the Orioles,
and he hits Tino Martinez in the back and he
pictured Tino going right, Dude, this full out brawl. You know,
everyone comes running out. But dude, not only was Darryl
Strawberry throwing haymakers, which was great, right, but I expected that.
I expected Darryl be there defending his team, which was awesome.

(41:02):
So he just gained more respect because I love that
from Darryl Strawberry because he's such a New York legend
and it.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Was so cool to see him. He's a big dude.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
But if you remember, there was a six foot six
kangaroo from Australia coming out of the bullpen named Graham Lloyd,
who is a lefty specialist for the Yankees, and that
dude came out so aggressive, bro throwing punches like crazy.
That Goomberger, in my mind, was one of the coolest
Yankees after that, because I was like, yo, who thought

(41:31):
that dude was so tough? And who'd have known that
he had his team's back that hard?

Speaker 3 (41:35):
It was so cool, wasn't gram Lloyd?

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Australian yeah, yeah, great.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
He was the big Australian guy and he was like
a big nerdy looking guy. But if you watch that
clip back, aside from Darryl Strawberry, he's the one that
stands out that he led that charge. Let's go to
your feedback. Let's start with John in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
What's up? John?

Speaker 11 (41:54):
Are you doing? Cazino?

Speaker 2 (41:56):
And Rich what's up? And Danny g what's up?

Speaker 11 (41:59):
Are well? I do like Noel Ryan beating up Venturo.
That was fun, But I underestimated old people. They got
something in their back pocket for like fifty years or something,
and they just when they get mad, they get mad.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
That's the old the old guys, trinth. I think I've
told Kavino the story once before. Old people they also
come to a point where they don't give an f anymore.
I remember my grandfather. When my grandfather was still alive,
I remember going with him to pick up food takeout,
and some young kid said to my grandfather, Hey, old guy,
there's something underneath your car, like your muffler or something's hanging.

(42:37):
My grandfather got down on his hands and knees trying
to go into his car, and he's like, I don't
see nothing.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
The kid goes, eh, just messing with the old guy.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
My grandfather punched his kid in the face, and I
just remember being like, yo, I guess you get to
an age where you're like, I don't know there, you
don't care. But remember they always say, especially in boxing,
your strength is the last to go, allowed George Foreman,
Your speed, your endurance, your stamina, all that goes, but
your strength stays with you. Sometimes it's it's even better

(43:08):
because you've got that man strength behind you, which is
why people which is why people thought Tyson had a shot, right.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
And by the way, Nolan Ryan was forty six, but
he was an old forty six. That's a nineteen ninety
three forty six. And Robin ventorro was twenty six, so
it was a twenty year age difference and we're still
talking about it today.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Let's go to Steve Kentucky. What's up man?

Speaker 12 (43:35):
Not much great show, gentlemen, always entertaining. Well, thanks, I
was going to the old time, I guess, being an
old guy All Star game. But major League Baseball, Pete
Rose plowing to and Ray Fossey to get the run
like it was. It wasn't just an All Star game
to him, it was a game man.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, he annihilated him. Yeah, never the same So and in.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
That same vein, Buster Posey and Scott Cousins changed the rules.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Recently, Danny, on a similar play, Chase Utley has spoken
about how like if he could do it again, he
would have slid different. He was not trying to break
to hot his leg on the Mets. But Chase Utley
has a reputation. I know that wasn't a fight so
to say Cavino, but some of those moments do change
your reputation. So again, that's what we're talking about. Your

(44:24):
image changed at that person after watching this fight. Maybe
they were whimpier than you thought. Maybe they were cool
or and tougher than you thought eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox because Nolan Ryan Man, it changed both ways.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
What a badass you thought?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
And Robin ventory like, oh man, poor guy, how do
you erase that image away from your highlight reel? The number,
I don't know, number one or two has to be
Tim Anderson if people haven't brought it up yet, Like
you never thought of that guy the same way after
he was knocked out by Jose Ramirez and then you
think Jose Ramire I was like, what a badass? You know,

(45:02):
you think he's the man. Tim Anderson, I don't think
much like Joey Batts ever recovered from that. No, listen,
these things are memorable. They stick in your head. What
are you thinking about? Michael and Virginia?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Man?

Speaker 13 (45:15):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (45:16):
Real quick?

Speaker 7 (45:17):
I remember Latrell Sprewell.

Speaker 9 (45:18):
Who got to fight with his head coach that forever
changed his image in the NBA.

Speaker 10 (45:22):
And he wasn't Yeah, you know, look at after.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
That would run our test because you just it just
stuck with them. I pictured Van Gundhy to be a
little cooler when he was.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Like hanging hanging on the leg. I'm like, yo, he's yo,
he's there with his team.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
And I always thought Van Gundy, I thought he was
a little more baller.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Funny moment, dude.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
You know, there's a I don't know how famous it is,
but we all thought Dave Winfield was a badass growing up.
He's one of the only major leaguers drafted in all
the major sports right except for hockey, and he probably
would have been drafted in hockey hotal getting he was
in hot talk, but that's a bragging right in itself.
He could have went basketball NFL, but he went Padres

(46:06):
and eventually Yankees. And when he was on the Yankees, dude,
it was like Mike Heath or somebody.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I'm drawing a blank.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I think it was a It was a catcher for Detroit.
Maybe not Matt no Oakes, but I'm drawing a blank
on who it was. But Danny g if you look
it up, Dave Winfield gets in a brawl with the
catcher of the team and grabs the.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Catcher by the throat. Dude, like some undertaker stuff.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
That dude couldn't even like get at him because Dave
Winfield's so big.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Look it up, man, it's wild. So when you're a.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Kid and you see that, that's like those are lasting impressions,
Like it was forever cemented in my brain that Dave
Winfield not only was a man of class.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Remember he was like the classy guy. He would whoop
your ass.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
It Mike Heith, you're right, and uh yeah, I've I've
seen videos of that since I was a little kid.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
So yeah, like you're like, man, you don't mess with
that guy. These things, they they they last in your mind.
And that's what we're talking about because of Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Today on this day, one last one, we'll go to
South Carolina. So had to John. What's up? John?

Speaker 10 (47:15):
First and foremost?

Speaker 14 (47:16):
You know baseball players are the worst fighters in the world.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Well, yeah they are.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
Yeah, but I will tell you this.

Speaker 14 (47:23):
The two toughest I've ever seen Don Baylor, Oh yeah,
Don Baylor was a badass. But the toughest guy on
the Mets was.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Leny Oh well, mails yeah, I mean Dycher is a
tough SOB. And you know Don Baylor, I believe, doesn't
he like the league leader of all time as far
as hit by past right step into the so you
lean into plenty of opportunities when you get hit all
the time, like Don Baylor.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
But those are good examples.

Speaker 9 (47:52):
Man.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
To wrap it up and we'll take your phone calls
later on, or you get this up at Covino and Rich.
Sometimes you gain a a good respect because you don't
know how tough these players really are. But guys like
Bryce Harper, you know, they're great players. But remember when
he charged a mound on was it Hunter Strickland or whatever.
Remember they had all that beef and he throws his

(48:14):
helmet at him and there went brawling like. It gives
him that extra edge of like not only is he a
great ballplayer and a good looking stud but he doesn't
take any y s and that gains more respect for me.
If you look at the time. We do it every Monday.
Let's play Last one Standing.

Speaker 13 (48:33):
You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia
lot man. Put your electronic devices down and pick your
sports knowledge.

I've already been wrong once today that Nolan Ryan tidbit
with the Robin Ventura. I saw a clip of him
winning his three hundredth game. That's somebody quote retweeted, but
it was five days ago, but they for some reason
did it today. So that's why I was thrown off.
And by the way, can you know you were wrong
as well?

Speaker 1 (49:48):
If the Yankees, if the season ended today, the Yankees
would play the Astros, which I don't know if that's
any better another rivalry for you guys.

like the ultimate fantasy situation. Me me, yeah, you kid
get over here. And not only did the kid get
in the game, he hits a bump.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Dude, this kid had a game. He had a walk.
I think he had like nine total basis something ridiculous, scored.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
A few runs. Then he gets up in a crucial
situation and hits a home run. Well, take a listen
to the call.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):

hits a home run.

out like you're the fan of the game. You're in
the games especial, you know. Promotion. Okay, but this story
goes viral and his kids like in his shorts and sneakers.
In the first like a bat, he's in his sneakers.
In the at bat where he hits the home run,
he's in his cleats. But this went viral and then
it became this online debate of was this stage, was

(01:02:09):
this fake or did this really take place? Obviously it happened,
but was it fake or not? Because then he ended
up giving the kid a contract later on, So that's
up for debate. So we'll discuss a little bit more tomorrow.
