Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three, ready to rock
and roll, big injury. In baseball, the Tiger is one
of the favorites in the American League at the beginning
of the season. Not so much right now. They're a
five hundred team. But where does Tarrek Schoubel's elbow surgery
leave the MotorCity Kitties. Also, what's the issue going forward
(00:24):
with Schooball For the Tigers, it's a rather large Komodo
dragon in the room. And give me the magic formula
for banana ball. They do one hundred thousand fans to
a college football stadium over the weekend. One hundred thousand
banana ball, the Savannah bananas. We'll talk about that as well.
(00:46):
Right now here it is settle in. It's our number three.
Catch tiger by its tail. Well, sometimes you don't have
to do that. If the tiger is in the trainer's room, well.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
God of me.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are in the air everywhere painting the black as
we are your one stop sports grocery shop.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So if you need any produce that's in the back.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's actually on the right hand side but it's in
the back and if you want some beverages, that's on
the left hand side, and if you go towards the front,
you'll find the beverages there coast to coast point of
the motor and beyond on the mast and imposingly powerful
microphones of fsre emminating live from the boob as in
(01:38):
the boob tube without the pictures. No pictures, we just
have well there it's actually cameras in here. There's not
supposed to be. It's radio, it's not You get the point.
Garon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
where Matt de Bears fan wants you to know that
(01:58):
this hour made possible in part by our friends at
tire Raq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers like Can't Close the Deal Neil and his
son Corbin find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
(02:19):
tire act dot Com the way that tire buying should be.
And I think it was Tommy in Atlanta who passed
on the message that he loves DraftKings and he wants
the people to know. And I said, what about mikey Cano.
He also wants to know, And I said, okay, And
no Stredinis, Yeah, no stredenis So the NBA Playoffs are
here and DraftKings Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner
(02:41):
of the NBA. I know that's excited, Rebecca. The RAMFA
is excited about that right now, use the promo code
malor m A L L e R to claim your
special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code Malor at DraftKings.
The Crown is yours will put that there. So our
lead this hour from the great state of Michigan. We're
(03:02):
a team that before the season was favored as one
of the top teams in baseball to get to the
World Series. They've got some issues right now. The Detroit
Tigers their ace, two time defending American League Cy Young.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Winner Terry School.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But here the news no, maybe not well set to
have arthroscopic surgery for loose bodies, yes, loose bodies in
his left elbow. That according to a j Hincho, this
is the second big league pitcher within the span of
a couple weeks all Star level pitcher second big league
(03:39):
pitcher in a couple weeks who is down for the
count because of loose bodies, and he gets my vote,
my vote as the official injury of the beginning of
the baseball season loose bodies in the elbow. Now Hinch
forever Brandon a cheating as one one thousand and two
one thousand hole for his managerial skills or lack thereof
(04:04):
with the cheating as So it's my favorite Aja Hinch
story when he was managing Houston and they were cheating
and everyone knew they were cheating, and he went on
this high horse and he like just snickered and mocked
the very idea that they would be cheating. We haven't
seen someone that arrogant when it comes to cheating since
Lance Armstrong when he was doing all the steroids to
win those little bicycle races and it turned out well, yeah,
(04:27):
it was the reason he was doing that is because
he was all drugged up, you know. Anyway, So a
Hinch told report of schooble will have the procedure at
a date still to be determined because it's hard to
get a hospital available for you, and that he felt
pain during his recent start that was on Sunday Schooble,
and so they did not give a timetable the Tigers
(04:48):
on how long Trek Schooble.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Is going to be out.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Based on popular opinion by popular people, it would appear
he's going to be out three months, two to three months,
most likely three months. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question where does Trek
schoubls out my elbow and his surgery leave the Tigers.
So I've got lawn chair, bubble wrapping, and Jimbo Fisher.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know how he got in there, and we will.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Combine all of these things together, and we are going
to be in glorious technicolor is what we're going to be.
And major Mallard diplomacy. So, first of all, the news
that the ace of Detroit's baseball team, Trek Scoobel, is
headed under the knife, leaves the Tigers rotation looking like
(05:43):
a group project. And the one smart kid in the
group project, unfortunately is not available, and uh yeah and
out sick and everyone else is just kind of staring
around and looking at the chalkboard.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
They're like, I.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Don't know what though, what do you want me to do?
Oh what am I supposed to do? So that's where
we are here. And so this is on the surface,
it's the nightmare scenario for the Tigers. Now they're not bad,
they're not good, they're right in the middle, they're average.
They're five hundred after what we played thirty six games
I believe the Tigers have played. So they're five hundred
(06:19):
team thirty six games in to the baseball season. And
when you look at the scenarios, like, well, what happens
when your entire franchise is built on one solitary ligament
in the elbow? Right, Like the Tigers margin for error
was already pretty thin, right, pretty thin. I don't know
(06:42):
if i'd go razor thin, but it's pretty thin. And
now it's you'd say, well's it goes like they need
this guy that when Schooble pitches, they win eight out
of every ten times he pitches. He might not get
to win, but they win about eighty percent of the
time when this guy's out there dealing. And so now
he's out Now despite that, I am going to be
Benny Brightside, all right, I'm gonna Benny bright Side. Here's
(07:05):
why when you look into the crystal ball, and I'm
never wrong about these things. I'm a distant relative of
Nostradamus and friend of no Straudena's well, we used to
be friends until the Super Bowl this year, but we
were friends. Here's why I'm Benny Bright's side on this one,
because the Tigers are still the only team in the
division that seems to be trying to win, which is
(07:28):
half the battle, right have to. Isn't it interesting that
even without schoolball, Detroit remains the only somewhat competent team
in your American League Central Division, a division that is
so pathetic.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How pathetic is it?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's thanks for asking, It's so pathetic. They are devoid
of elite talent. You look around the Tigers, I'm convinced
at this point they could toss out a lawn chair
they bought at Walmart every fifth day and still find
themselves with a reasonable chance of making the playoffs at
the end of the year. So here's an opportunity to
(08:06):
further expose the Guardians, the Royals, the White Sox, and
the Twins as being fraudulent teams in the American League
Central Division.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So let the games begin now.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Secondly, you've got the close up and the long term
vision outlook for the Detroit Tigers. So the chatter going
around a lot of chatter about, well, is he actually
gonna come back Schooble in a couple of months? Is
he going to be back? So the question what's the
issue going forward? What is the issue going forward with
(08:39):
Terry School for the Tiger. So Detroit says that Schooble
is going to be out three months. They're calling it
an easy procedure. Easy procedure is what they're saying. Here
and loose bodies and all that, which I just chuckle at.
That's a term that we didn't hear much of up
until a couple of years ago. And now it's like
everyone's got loose bodies. Can only imagine what you have
(09:01):
loose bodies here, there and everywhere. So I've heard that
that fairy tale before. It's only gonna be a couple
of months. Everything will be fine here, everything will be
good and all that. And that's right around the time
that you get the cup boom, cup boom, and all
of a sudden the elbow goes away and that's it.
(09:21):
And so yeah, technically, Schooble, if you base based on
a time, that's early May, so you get all of
May June and then most of July. So that would
mean right around the trade deadline, school Ball could come back.
And I would argue, at this point, there is no guarantee,
no guarantee that he is going to find himself on
(09:42):
the mound again in twenty twenty six. Now why is that?
Because he is staring down at the very minimum, it
is estimated he's going to get a four hundred million
dollars contract as his free agency is coming up at
the end of the year, and so is he going
to risk that kind of payday with elbow issues? Right,
(10:04):
and most of these guys and it's it's you make
the call, is like, hey, we're not going to do that,
and it's generational wealth. And so he's gonna wrap himself
in bubble wrap and that arm of his like a
Faberge egg, will be wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And this isn't like think of it, not like rehab.
It's not really rehab.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Uh, It's it's asset protection would be the way I
would describe it. You're guarding that elbow, like it's not
Jonas Knox, it's Fort Knox. You've got to protect that elbow.
There and you think he's gonna rush back.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No chance.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And the people that are riding the train, true, true,
the gravy train riding his coattails there are like, hey, Terry,
you're dreaming, you're daydreaming about that massive payday. You have
to protect that payday unless the Tigers agree to some extension,
which has been no speculation the Tigers have even made
(10:59):
any kind of real offer to keep Schooble from hitting
the market, going on auctioning block and all that stuff.
And you imagine Schoobl's texting Scott Boris all the time
and they're going back and forth on the latest market
projections like they just okay, So the smart thing would
be to protect the payday, not the candy bar, the elbow.
(11:20):
And that's where it's at. And so you're month to
month in the free agent value and all that, well,
that's day to day. That's day to day, all right. Now,
final thought at a couple of our guys that were
at a college football stadium over the weekend in College Station,
and at least.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I got a couple of emails.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Two of our listeners were at a Savannah Bananas game
that took place over the weekend. Now this still has legs.
The Savannah Bananas, the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball played a
game at Texas and MS Stadium, Kyle Field, the historic
Colineal Field where Johnny Football did his thing back of
(12:02):
the day in College station. And they had a crowd
of one hundred and two thousand men, women and children
that attended that game. They played something called the Texas Tailgaters.
Is that just a bunch of middle aged men that
drink beer and have a griddle and barbecue and things
like that.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't know, but there they were, there they were.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That is an all time attendance record for the Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay, and they actually lost. What is up with that?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I thought the Harlem Globetrotters, they went years and years
without losing to the Washington Generals. The Savannah Bananas losing.
Upset City. Upset City the latest display of banana ball.
So the question here, all right, give me the magic
formula that causes the banana ball to sell one hundred
(12:57):
thousand tickets. You know how many games that Tampa Bay
Rays and the Sacramento Athletics have to play to get
to one hundred thousand people in attendance, and the Savannah Bananas,
a non major league outfit in one event at a
college football stadium. It looked ridiculous if you saw the
photos of it, because it's not designed for baseball. So
(13:17):
and we're like, we're not really baseball anyway. So the
point is, what is the magic formula? Get to the point, please,
all right, I'll get to the one. So the Savannah
Bananas packing Kyle Field so tight? How tight was the
crowd there? You would have thought that Jimbo Fisher was
going to come out for the seventh inning stretch there
just to get his buyout checked during the seventh inning stretch.
(13:39):
I still need that check, Okay, no problem. Now, this guy,
Jesse Cole is the brains behind the Savannah Bananas. He's
the guy that wears the yellow tuxedo with the top
hat and all that, the carnival barker. It's kind of
like Dana White. Dana White was that guy for the
UFC barn storming baseball guy. It seemed SEMs like more
(14:00):
people like Jesse Cole.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Now, I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Any hit pieces that the Bananas are not paying the
players enough money. That's always the knock on Dana White
that the UFC fighters are not in good shape financially
because the people that run the UFC are a bunch
of tightwads. And that's always been the argument against Dana White.
I haven't heard much. I can't imagine these guys that
are playing for the Savannah Bananas are making any kind
(14:27):
of real money on that. But in terms of the
question the magic formula, it's really not that difficult. Like
major League Baseball has become a premium item for most
people now, you can still get a cheap seat to
a baseball game.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
However, Baseball is more concerned about the high faluton luxury
box crowd and the corporate crowd. That's where they put
their focus for many many years. The Bananas, they're all
about affordable, family fun with a little side of chaos.
They want a side of chaos. They don't just play.
They shake a little shake, shimmy, rock and roll. They
(15:05):
sell out stadiums there. So the Savannah Bannez. Now, major
League Baseball's got analytics, they got the nerds man, they
got the nerds in Major League Baseball, and the Bananas
they do the boogie woogie and the bebop is what
they've got. That's their idea of entertainment. And they even
add on the ugie in the boogie. They put the
ougie in the boogie there. They've got that going for
(15:28):
them as well. And so a lot of showmanship doesn't
seem like it's really for me. I think I'm too
old for it. But for those that love it, it's great.
Knock yourself out, why not? And it's like, hey, I
can go out, I don't have to spend a fortune.
I can bring the family and we can go watch
a game. And it doesn't seem like it's really for
people that like baseball. It's not like they just happen
to have baseball. It's not really about the baseball. It's
(15:49):
about the other stuff. And that's what it's about. From
what I've seen, and I've seen some stuff online and
all that, and like Jesse Cole, the guy behind it,
it's like, all right, we got a traveling circus. We'll
put a scoreboard in there, will make it seem like
it's baseball. So then like some of the middle aged
dudes will be like, all right, we'll go and then
it'll be entertaining, and then it's like, well, baseball is
not normally entertaining if you don't like baseball's boring and
(16:10):
all that, and so they.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Got one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
One hundred thousand people say okay, we're in on it,
and these are not sellouts. The people that are into this.
It is like a cultural event with foul polls added
and a pitching mound. They added that it's Marty Gras
meets some kind of TikTok live thing barnstorming baseball. Now,
(16:35):
at some point, the rumor is that this guy, Jesse
Cole is going to sell out, and why wouldn't he?
Right now, he owns all the profits, all of the profits,
so he's making a ton of money. At some point
some venture capital company's gonna say, okay, why don't we
help you?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then that's where this thing goes to hell. Right,
that's where this just gets ruined.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And that so enjoy it while at lasts at some
point some hedge fund dude is gonna come in here,
and I think we can make this even bigger by
laying off half the staff and paying the other people
literally peanuts, and not even salted peanuts. Unsalted peanuts will
never give anybody a raise again, because that's what we're
(17:17):
gonna do, and that's how these big corporations often take.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Over these things. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

I was in Pittsburgh one time and they had the

only time of ben to Pittsburgh, and they had a
furry convention, which is I don't know if they still do,
but that was like the hub of the furries.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Would you ever address up then, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh. I do like mascots. I like mascots, It's just
not my thing. What else do we have? The umpa
lumpas to keep the rose balls safe from r j
in La JT the Wingman says, the Bucky beaver is
the answer there.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
His name is Boosy.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What else we have?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says they spent that money
on pokemon mounties Canadian Mounties from Econ, Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Paintball warriors from Larry D that's his answer. Paige Dan
can't can't be Yoda from Philler up Fill. Six hundred yodas.
They hired six hundred munchkins from BP that's his answer.
Rebecca the rim Fant says, six hundred loose bodies is
the answer. Inca Terra says Susan Waldman lookalikes is the
(22:29):
way to go. Timmy from Busco, Indiana says six hundred
homing pigeons. TMG says bees is the answer.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You go with the bees.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What else do we have? Page Dan can't read that
on the air. Craig says, guard dogs is the way
to go? All right, Lorena, do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Lorena?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yes, I think they got goats?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Goats? All right?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Well the correct answer, Unfortunately a wrong, Loraina.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Batch you up by you groupspan eighty five thousand dollars
to hire six hundred goats.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You're not supposed to get writing the writer. So I
said it was wrong. Six hundred goats.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They clear clearing all the brush around the rose bowl. No, no,
they're clearing out the brush around the Rose Bull because
the politicians don't do that. That's a job usually the
politicians supposed to do. But they just let the whole
city burn down. So that's the leadership politically in California.
They said, but I let it burn So the Rose
Bull's like, well, we don't want the Rose bowl to
burn down. So they brought in six hundred goats and
(23:26):
they've been eating all of the you know, there's a
lot of dry brush and whatnot around the Rose Bowl,
and so they're around there. If you drive on the
two ten freeway, you can see them eating up the
brush around the.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Rose I can't believe I got that right.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
What's a bad job by you. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Hello to Eenie Meani, Miny Moe. Let's say hello to Andrea.
I was going to go to Darko, but he hung up.
Andrea is in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider and she's
about to provide you insider.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Knowledge right now.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Yes, Hi, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
If I was any better, I'd be a Celtic, but
not a Boston Celtic because they've been eliminated and they
lost to Philadelphia, who got smoked by thirty nine points
by the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
H yeah, you know I watch sporting at New York,
so I heard about the Knickerbockers and you know that said,
what was really interesting with John Sterling is a cosmic
coincidence here. He was born July fourth, nineteen thirty eight,
and Steinbrenner was also born July fourth, nineteen thirty the
(24:36):
owner of the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, okay, so they share.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
The same not the birth year, but the same birthday,
July fourth, which is cancer home, you know, food, family feelings.
And you know, I grew up a Mets fan, so
I didn't really you know, watch many Yankees games, but
he was His energy was pervasive. I mean you just
hear him and you know those epic calls like the
(25:01):
a bomb from a Rod and uh here comes a
Judge or rise. You know, he definitely had his share
of creativity and call.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So you probably were like a Bob Murphy with the
Mets back in the day, play guy.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Yeah, good for you, Bob Murphy, Ralph Kleiner and Lindsey Nelson.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah yeah, well I remember they had Kiner's Corner. I
remember on Sundays, was it Sundays I think it was
Sundays or Saturday or Sunday that Kiner's Corner.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Oh yeah, no, I remember. You know, if they play
a team on the West Coast, then Kiner's Corner would
come on at the end of the game and I'd
like beg, my parents, can I say it for Kleiner's Corner.
It's like the Lady after Midnight. It's like, I know,
but I gotta watch.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Kiner's course, I stay off, come on now, it's it's
quality entertainment. Back in the seventies and eighties, that was
top entertainment.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Yeah, yeah, no, he was great. Ralph Kiner and you
know those were the broadcasters I grew up with. But
if you grew up in New York as a sports fan,
you're gonna hear about you know, John Sterling. So yeah,
he definitely had his I mean you got to meet him.
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I did.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I did, Yeah, pretty when I When I was growing up,
a lot of the guys I wanted to meet that
like the old Guard player. I'm old so like Harry Carey, Ralph,
I met Ralph Kiner, I met U who I meet
Ernie Harwell, the guy did the Tiger games for years
back in the day, a chance to meet him. So
I met a lot of the guys I was like
hoping to meet when I got into media stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So I was lucky I got to meet those guys.
Now I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I think the guys today I didn't grow up watching,
so it's like they don't really mean much to me.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
All right, But that's how did you get to meet
Ralph Kiner?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Well, I was covering the Dodgers and the Mets would
come in, and he still traveled. He didn't the last
couple of years he was doing the games, but he
he'd come out and Harry Carey and all those guys,
and so.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Oh, I know. And then Chris Carrey is like great.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And the one I loved as much as anyway, Harry Callus,
the iconic voice of the Philadelphia sports scene, Harry cows.
But I wanted to meet him because he was the
voice of NFL films and he was like the voiceover
guy and that was like a big thing NFL films.
They did these half hour documentaries which were really cool.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah. And then way like Chris carry the A's broadcaster,
was like the great great grandson of Harry Carry.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, the old the old Guard that those guys had
those jobs for like thirty forty years. Yeah, well Ben
had the job. Vin Scully had the Dodger job for
sixty years or whatever it was, right, I know.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I remember when he transitioned a few years ago. Yeah,
he was there for a long time. I mean, that's
the continuity that they had like back then. And you know,
but the July fourth synchronicity cosmically with Sterling and with.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The big date, something about that July fourth. Very a
lot of famous people born on July fourth.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I know, I noticed that. That's quite interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So well, very good, Well, thank you, Andrew, appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Nice to go down memory lane with us.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That's right, all right, Virgo and service on X. Our
friend Andrea the astrology Insider. We appreciate her checking in
with us. We we're gonna have a games called Malar's
Mountain of Money. So if you would like to play
Maler's Mountain of Money, here's what you need to do.
You need to call in because it's a call in operation.
(28:24):
Eight seven seven nine nine six six threes six y
nine eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty
nine if you'd like to be part of the program
mentioned the NBA. The Timberwolves get her done in game
number one. They were big underdogs, didn't expect in a
(28:44):
couple days before the game, it seemed like Anthony Edwards
was not gonna play. He did play, and we've got
some spicy talk post game from that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
A Minnesota matchup with San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama set a
record for block shots in a playoff game, but yet
Minnesota won the game when Banyama was not very good
offensively in the game, did have a triple double, he
just didn't do much offensively. And then one of the
(29:16):
Timberwolves ranting and raving post game, that would be the
great Terrence Shannon Junior, who want he had a message
to Wemby who had all those block shots, that he's
going to keep coming at him in the rest of
the series no matter what he said. I'm gonna keep
attacking the basket and he's gonna have to block it
(29:39):
every time.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
This guy said, every.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Time, when Banyama's gonna have to block my shot, I
ain't gonna stop going downhill. And I told him that
when he said a little something about after the block
shot my second one, he's gonna have to block it
every time? Man, I know he ain't gonna block it
every single time. Okay, we'll see if that works out
(30:03):
for Terrence Shannon Jr. I like the bravado. I like
the confidence. He's very, very confident. Some would say a
little too confident. And we'll sail oa to Steve in Manhattan. Hello,
Steve oh in Manhattan, Welcome.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Okay, susan three to two count on backman and the pitch.
Batman swings and hits the drive the deep left center.
It is high, it is far, it is the top
of the wall. The bulls rolling in toward the infield.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Ben, that's not right?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
How dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Folks? I have one home run that John Sterling did
not call, and that was Boone's game winner the American
League Championships Series two thousand and three, Yankee Stadium, the
South Bronx, New York.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh, wasn't that was Michael kay was doing that? Was
he the one doing the inning there?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Well? I was just surprised at Stirling because he's such
a professional.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Charlie it might have been Charlie Steiner that was doing
that back then?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Who called it on Ready for this, folks, now write
this one down. Charlie Steiner called it on w ABC radio,
and Steve Fromnhattan called it on ten ten wins with
John Manteaum. I was at that game, and he stayed
near and me near the end of the game with
that big boom, big boom mic because he knew he
(31:32):
was going to get the close he wanted. Now, what
happens is I called Boons's home run on ten ten wins.
Now man told what he has to do is he
has to start running towards the dugout. He's got to
get through the crowd and get into the dugout for
the you know, the postgame nonsense and everything. This is
what happens. He turns, he starts running. Listen, folks, I
(31:53):
lted him. I grabs his shoulder right and I'm beholding
him and I and I grabbed a big boom mic
and I say the curse and the curse of the babe.
And that was the end of that. And then a
few years later, I'm in Macy's in thirty fourth Street.
Everybody Harold Square and everything. The miracle on thirty four
Street I run into Mantone and I'm talking to him.
(32:15):
I said, you know, do you have any tape from
that game? He goes, no, we don't keep any of
the video or audio or anything. He goes, that's great,
but anyway, that was. That was that story. It was great,
a great time in sports. Sterling was a tremendous He
also let tremendous recall that guy and I probably he
came back to the w ABC radio last year for
(32:36):
a while, but then he left. I was one of
the last ones took who calls he ever took. There
are guys now who called twalk radio who called Sterling
like fifty years ago when he was on one of
the I think was WFC.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, he's been around a lot. I've been around eighty seven.
That's great. That's a great run. Eighty seven, right, it's
a good, solid run.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
It was a Manhattan kid.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
He's side Manhattan, and I love the fact that he
started and he's like doing stuff in Atlanta called like
the New Jersey Nets games back in the day, like.

Lights, camera action.

It's our number three, our number three, ready to rock
and roll, big injury. In baseball, the Tiger is one
of the favorites in the American League at the beginning
of the season. Not so much right now. They're a
five hundred team. But where does Tarrek Schoubel's elbow surgery
leave the MotorCity Kitties. Also, what's the issue going forward
(00:24):
with Schooball For the Tigers, it's a rather large Komodo
dragon in the room. And give me the magic formula
for banana ball. They do one hundred thousand fans to
a college football stadium over the weekend. One hundred thousand
banana ball, the Savannah bananas. We'll talk about that as well.
(00:46):
Right now here it is settle in. It's our number three.
Catch tiger by its tail. Well, sometimes you don't have
to do that. If the tiger is in the trainer's room, well.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
God of me.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are in the air everywhere painting the black as
we are your one stop sports grocery shop.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So if you need any produce that's in the back.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's actually on the right hand side but it's in
the back and if you want some beverages, that's on
the left hand side, and if you go towards the front,
you'll find the beverages there coast to coast point of
the motor and beyond on the mast and imposingly powerful
microphones of fsre emminating live from the boob as in
(01:38):
the boob tube without the pictures. No pictures, we just
have well there it's actually cameras in here. There's not
supposed to be. It's radio, it's not You get the point.
Garon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
where Matt de Bears fan wants you to know that
(01:58):
this hour made possible in part by our friends at
tire Raq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers like Can't Close the Deal Neil and his
son Corbin find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
(02:19):
tire act dot Com the way that tire buying should be.
And I think it was Tommy in Atlanta who passed
on the message that he loves DraftKings and he wants
the people to know. And I said, what about mikey Cano.
He also wants to know, And I said, okay, And
no Stredinis, Yeah, no stredenis So the NBA Playoffs are
here and DraftKings Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner
(02:41):
of the NBA. I know that's excited, Rebecca. The RAMFA
is excited about that right now, use the promo code
malor m A L L e R to claim your
special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code Malor at DraftKings.
The Crown is yours will put that there. So our
lead this hour from the great state of Michigan. We're
(03:02):
a team that before the season was favored as one
of the top teams in baseball to get to the
World Series. They've got some issues right now. The Detroit
Tigers their ace, two time defending American League Cy Young.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Winner Terry School.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But here the news no, maybe not well set to
have arthroscopic surgery for loose bodies, yes, loose bodies in
his left elbow. That according to a j Hincho, this
is the second big league pitcher within the span of
a couple weeks all Star level pitcher second big league
(03:39):
pitcher in a couple weeks who is down for the
count because of loose bodies, and he gets my vote,
my vote as the official injury of the beginning of
the baseball season loose bodies in the elbow. Now Hinch
forever Brandon a cheating as one one thousand and two
one thousand hole for his managerial skills or lack thereof
(04:04):
with the cheating as So it's my favorite Aja Hinch
story when he was managing Houston and they were cheating
and everyone knew they were cheating, and he went on
this high horse and he like just snickered and mocked
the very idea that they would be cheating. We haven't
seen someone that arrogant when it comes to cheating since
Lance Armstrong when he was doing all the steroids to
win those little bicycle races and it turned out well, yeah,
(04:27):
it was the reason he was doing that is because
he was all drugged up, you know. Anyway, So a
Hinch told report of schooble will have the procedure at
a date still to be determined because it's hard to
get a hospital available for you, and that he felt
pain during his recent start that was on Sunday Schooble,
and so they did not give a timetable the Tigers
(04:48):
on how long Trek Schooble.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Is going to be out.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Based on popular opinion by popular people, it would appear
he's going to be out three months, two to three months,
most likely three months. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question where does Trek
schoubls out my elbow and his surgery leave the Tigers.
So I've got lawn chair, bubble wrapping, and Jimbo Fisher.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know how he got in there, and we will.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Combine all of these things together, and we are going
to be in glorious technicolor is what we're going to be.
And major Mallard diplomacy. So, first of all, the news
that the ace of Detroit's baseball team, Trek Scoobel, is
headed under the knife, leaves the Tigers rotation looking like
(05:43):
a group project. And the one smart kid in the
group project, unfortunately is not available, and uh yeah and
out sick and everyone else is just kind of staring
around and looking at the chalkboard.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
They're like, I.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Don't know what though, what do you want me to do?
Oh what am I supposed to do? So that's where
we are here. And so this is on the surface,
it's the nightmare scenario for the Tigers. Now they're not bad,
they're not good, they're right in the middle, they're average.
They're five hundred after what we played thirty six games
I believe the Tigers have played. So they're five hundred
(06:19):
team thirty six games in to the baseball season. And
when you look at the scenarios, like, well, what happens
when your entire franchise is built on one solitary ligament
in the elbow? Right, Like the Tigers margin for error
was already pretty thin, right, pretty thin. I don't know
(06:42):
if i'd go razor thin, but it's pretty thin. And
now it's you'd say, well's it goes like they need
this guy that when Schooble pitches, they win eight out
of every ten times he pitches. He might not get
to win, but they win about eighty percent of the
time when this guy's out there dealing. And so now
he's out Now despite that, I am going to be
Benny Brightside, all right, I'm gonna Benny bright Side. Here's
(07:05):
why when you look into the crystal ball, and I'm
never wrong about these things. I'm a distant relative of
Nostradamus and friend of no Straudena's well, we used to
be friends until the Super Bowl this year, but we
were friends. Here's why I'm Benny Bright's side on this one,
because the Tigers are still the only team in the
division that seems to be trying to win, which is
(07:28):
half the battle, right have to. Isn't it interesting that
even without schoolball, Detroit remains the only somewhat competent team
in your American League Central Division, a division that is
so pathetic.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How pathetic is it?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's thanks for asking, It's so pathetic. They are devoid
of elite talent. You look around the Tigers, I'm convinced
at this point they could toss out a lawn chair
they bought at Walmart every fifth day and still find
themselves with a reasonable chance of making the playoffs at
the end of the year. So here's an opportunity to
(08:06):
further expose the Guardians, the Royals, the White Sox, and
the Twins as being fraudulent teams in the American League
Central Division.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So let the games begin now.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Secondly, you've got the close up and the long term
vision outlook for the Detroit Tigers. So the chatter going
around a lot of chatter about, well, is he actually
gonna come back Schooble in a couple of months? Is
he going to be back? So the question what's the
issue going forward? What is the issue going forward with
(08:39):
Terry School for the Tiger. So Detroit says that Schooble
is going to be out three months. They're calling it
an easy procedure. Easy procedure is what they're saying. Here
and loose bodies and all that, which I just chuckle at.
That's a term that we didn't hear much of up
until a couple of years ago. And now it's like
everyone's got loose bodies. Can only imagine what you have
(09:01):
loose bodies here, there and everywhere. So I've heard that
that fairy tale before. It's only gonna be a couple
of months. Everything will be fine here, everything will be
good and all that. And that's right around the time
that you get the cup boom, cup boom, and all
of a sudden the elbow goes away and that's it.
(09:21):
And so yeah, technically, Schooble, if you base based on
a time, that's early May, so you get all of
May June and then most of July. So that would
mean right around the trade deadline, school Ball could come back.
And I would argue, at this point, there is no guarantee,
no guarantee that he is going to find himself on
(09:42):
the mound again in twenty twenty six. Now why is that?
Because he is staring down at the very minimum, it
is estimated he's going to get a four hundred million
dollars contract as his free agency is coming up at
the end of the year, and so is he going
to risk that kind of payday with elbow issues? Right,
(10:04):
and most of these guys and it's it's you make
the call, is like, hey, we're not going to do that,
and it's generational wealth. And so he's gonna wrap himself
in bubble wrap and that arm of his like a
Faberge egg, will be wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And this isn't like think of it, not like rehab.
It's not really rehab.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Uh, It's it's asset protection would be the way I
would describe it. You're guarding that elbow, like it's not
Jonas Knox, it's Fort Knox. You've got to protect that elbow.
There and you think he's gonna rush back.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No chance.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And the people that are riding the train, true, true,
the gravy train riding his coattails there are like, hey, Terry,
you're dreaming, you're daydreaming about that massive payday. You have
to protect that payday unless the Tigers agree to some extension,
which has been no speculation the Tigers have even made
(10:59):
any kind of real offer to keep Schooble from hitting
the market, going on auctioning block and all that stuff.
And you imagine Schoobl's texting Scott Boris all the time
and they're going back and forth on the latest market
projections like they just okay, So the smart thing would
be to protect the payday, not the candy bar, the elbow.
(11:20):
And that's where it's at. And so you're month to
month in the free agent value and all that, well,
that's day to day. That's day to day, all right. Now,
final thought at a couple of our guys that were
at a college football stadium over the weekend in College Station,
and at least.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I got a couple of emails.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Two of our listeners were at a Savannah Bananas game
that took place over the weekend. Now this still has legs.
The Savannah Bananas, the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball played a
game at Texas and MS Stadium, Kyle Field, the historic
Colineal Field where Johnny Football did his thing back of
(12:02):
the day in College station. And they had a crowd
of one hundred and two thousand men, women and children
that attended that game. They played something called the Texas Tailgaters.
Is that just a bunch of middle aged men that
drink beer and have a griddle and barbecue and things
like that.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't know, but there they were, there they were.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That is an all time attendance record for the Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay, and they actually lost. What is up with that?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I thought the Harlem Globetrotters, they went years and years
without losing to the Washington Generals. The Savannah Bananas losing.
Upset City. Upset City the latest display of banana ball.
So the question here, all right, give me the magic
formula that causes the banana ball to sell one hundred
(12:57):
thousand tickets. You know how many games that Tampa Bay
Rays and the Sacramento Athletics have to play to get
to one hundred thousand people in attendance, and the Savannah Bananas,
a non major league outfit in one event at a
college football stadium. It looked ridiculous if you saw the
photos of it, because it's not designed for baseball. So
(13:17):
and we're like, we're not really baseball anyway. So the
point is, what is the magic formula? Get to the point, please,
all right, I'll get to the one. So the Savannah
Bananas packing Kyle Field so tight? How tight was the
crowd there? You would have thought that Jimbo Fisher was
going to come out for the seventh inning stretch there
just to get his buyout checked during the seventh inning stretch.
(13:39):
I still need that check, Okay, no problem. Now, this guy,
Jesse Cole is the brains behind the Savannah Bananas. He's
the guy that wears the yellow tuxedo with the top
hat and all that, the carnival barker. It's kind of
like Dana White. Dana White was that guy for the
UFC barn storming baseball guy. It seemed SEMs like more
(14:00):
people like Jesse Cole.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Now, I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Any hit pieces that the Bananas are not paying the
players enough money. That's always the knock on Dana White
that the UFC fighters are not in good shape financially
because the people that run the UFC are a bunch
of tightwads. And that's always been the argument against Dana White.
I haven't heard much. I can't imagine these guys that
are playing for the Savannah Bananas are making any kind
(14:27):
of real money on that. But in terms of the
question the magic formula, it's really not that difficult. Like
major League Baseball has become a premium item for most
people now, you can still get a cheap seat to
a baseball game.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
However, Baseball is more concerned about the high faluton luxury
box crowd and the corporate crowd. That's where they put
their focus for many many years. The Bananas, they're all
about affordable, family fun with a little side of chaos.
They want a side of chaos. They don't just play.
They shake a little shake, shimmy, rock and roll. They
(15:05):
sell out stadiums there. So the Savannah Bannez. Now, major
League Baseball's got analytics, they got the nerds man, they
got the nerds in Major League Baseball, and the Bananas
they do the boogie woogie and the bebop is what
they've got. That's their idea of entertainment. And they even
add on the ugie in the boogie. They put the
ougie in the boogie there. They've got that going for
(15:28):
them as well. And so a lot of showmanship doesn't
seem like it's really for me. I think I'm too
old for it. But for those that love it, it's great.
Knock yourself out, why not? And it's like, hey, I
can go out, I don't have to spend a fortune.
I can bring the family and we can go watch
a game. And it doesn't seem like it's really for
people that like baseball. It's not like they just happen
to have baseball. It's not really about the baseball. It's
(15:49):
about the other stuff. And that's what it's about. From
what I've seen, and I've seen some stuff online and
all that, and like Jesse Cole, the guy behind it,
it's like, all right, we got a traveling circus. We'll
put a scoreboard in there, will make it seem like
it's baseball. So then like some of the middle aged
dudes will be like, all right, we'll go and then
it'll be entertaining, and then it's like, well, baseball is
not normally entertaining if you don't like baseball's boring and
(16:10):
all that, and so they.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Got one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
One hundred thousand people say okay, we're in on it,
and these are not sellouts. The people that are into this.
It is like a cultural event with foul polls added
and a pitching mound. They added that it's Marty Gras
meets some kind of TikTok live thing barnstorming baseball. Now,
(16:35):
at some point, the rumor is that this guy, Jesse
Cole is going to sell out, and why wouldn't he?
Right now, he owns all the profits, all of the profits,
so he's making a ton of money. At some point
some venture capital company's gonna say, okay, why don't we
help you?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And then that's where this thing goes to hell. Right,
that's where this just gets ruined.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And that so enjoy it while at lasts at some
point some hedge fund dude is gonna come in here,
and I think we can make this even bigger by
laying off half the staff and paying the other people
literally peanuts, and not even salted peanuts. Unsalted peanuts will
never give anybody a raise again, because that's what we're
(17:17):
gonna do, and that's how these big corporations often take.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Over these things. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

I was in Pittsburgh one time and they had the
(21:29):
only time of ben to Pittsburgh, and they had a
furry convention, which is I don't know if they still do,
but that was like the hub of the furries.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Would you ever address up then, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh. I do like mascots. I like mascots, It's just
not my thing. What else do we have? The umpa
lumpas to keep the rose balls safe from r j
in La JT the Wingman says, the Bucky beaver is
the answer there.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
His name is Boosy.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What else we have?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says they spent that money
on pokemon mounties Canadian Mounties from Econ, Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Paintball warriors from Larry D that's his answer. Paige Dan
can't can't be Yoda from Philler up Fill. Six hundred yodas.
They hired six hundred munchkins from BP that's his answer.
Rebecca the rim Fant says, six hundred loose bodies is
the answer. Inca Terra says Susan Waldman lookalikes is the
(22:29):
way to go. Timmy from Busco, Indiana says six hundred
homing pigeons. TMG says bees is the answer.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You go with the bees.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What else do we have? Page Dan can't read that
on the air. Craig says, guard dogs is the way
to go? All right, Lorena, do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Lorena?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yes, I think they got goats?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Goats? All right?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Well the correct answer, Unfortunately a wrong, Loraina.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Batch you up by you groupspan eighty five thousand dollars
to hire six hundred goats.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You're not supposed to get writing the writer. So I
said it was wrong. Six hundred goats.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They clear clearing all the brush around the rose bowl. No, no,
they're clearing out the brush around the Rose Bull because
the politicians don't do that. That's a job usually the
politicians supposed to do. But they just let the whole
city burn down. So that's the leadership politically in California.
They said, but I let it burn So the Rose
Bull's like, well, we don't want the Rose bowl to
burn down. So they brought in six hundred goats and
(23:26):
they've been eating all of the you know, there's a
lot of dry brush and whatnot around the Rose Bowl,
and so they're around there. If you drive on the
two ten freeway, you can see them eating up the
brush around the.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Rose I can't believe I got that right.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
What's a bad job by you. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Hello to Eenie Meani, Miny Moe. Let's say hello to Andrea.
I was going to go to Darko, but he hung up.
Andrea is in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider and she's
about to provide you insider.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Knowledge right now.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Yes, Hi, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
If I was any better, I'd be a Celtic, but
not a Boston Celtic because they've been eliminated and they
lost to Philadelphia, who got smoked by thirty nine points
by the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
H yeah, you know I watch sporting at New York,
so I heard about the Knickerbockers and you know that said,
what was really interesting with John Sterling is a cosmic
coincidence here. He was born July fourth, nineteen thirty eight,
and Steinbrenner was also born July fourth, nineteen thirty the
(24:36):
owner of the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, okay, so they share.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
The same not the birth year, but the same birthday,
July fourth, which is cancer home, you know, food, family feelings.
And you know, I grew up a Mets fan, so
I didn't really you know, watch many Yankees games, but
he was His energy was pervasive. I mean you just
hear him and you know those epic calls like the
(25:01):
a bomb from a Rod and uh here comes a
Judge or rise. You know, he definitely had his share
of creativity and call.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So you probably were like a Bob Murphy with the
Mets back in the day, play guy.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Yeah, good for you, Bob Murphy, Ralph Kleiner and Lindsey Nelson.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah yeah, well I remember they had Kiner's Corner. I
remember on Sundays, was it Sundays I think it was
Sundays or Saturday or Sunday that Kiner's Corner.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Oh yeah, no, I remember. You know, if they play
a team on the West Coast, then Kiner's Corner would
come on at the end of the game and I'd
like beg, my parents, can I say it for Kleiner's Corner.
It's like the Lady after Midnight. It's like, I know,
but I gotta watch.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Kiner's course, I stay off, come on now, it's it's
quality entertainment. Back in the seventies and eighties, that was
top entertainment.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Yeah, yeah, no, he was great. Ralph Kiner and you
know those were the broadcasters I grew up with. But
if you grew up in New York as a sports fan,
you're gonna hear about you know, John Sterling. So yeah,
he definitely had his I mean you got to meet him.
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I did.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I did, Yeah, pretty when I When I was growing up,
a lot of the guys I wanted to meet that
like the old Guard player. I'm old so like Harry Carey, Ralph,
I met Ralph Kiner, I met U who I meet
Ernie Harwell, the guy did the Tiger games for years
back in the day, a chance to meet him. So
I met a lot of the guys I was like
hoping to meet when I got into media stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So I was lucky I got to meet those guys.
Now I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I think the guys today I didn't grow up watching,
so it's like they don't really mean much to me.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
All right, But that's how did you get to meet
Ralph Kiner?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Well, I was covering the Dodgers and the Mets would
come in, and he still traveled. He didn't the last
couple of years he was doing the games, but he
he'd come out and Harry Carey and all those guys,
and so.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Oh, I know. And then Chris Carrey is like great.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And the one I loved as much as anyway, Harry Callus,
the iconic voice of the Philadelphia sports scene, Harry cows.
But I wanted to meet him because he was the
voice of NFL films and he was like the voiceover
guy and that was like a big thing NFL films.
They did these half hour documentaries which were really cool.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah. And then way like Chris carry the A's broadcaster,
was like the great great grandson of Harry Carry.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, the old the old Guard that those guys had
those jobs for like thirty forty years. Yeah, well Ben
had the job. Vin Scully had the Dodger job for
sixty years or whatever it was, right, I know.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I remember when he transitioned a few years ago. Yeah,
he was there for a long time. I mean, that's
the continuity that they had like back then. And you know,
but the July fourth synchronicity cosmically with Sterling and with.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The big date, something about that July fourth. Very a
lot of famous people born on July fourth.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I know, I noticed that. That's quite interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So well, very good, Well, thank you, Andrew, appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Nice to go down memory lane with us.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That's right, all right, Virgo and service on X. Our
friend Andrea the astrology Insider. We appreciate her checking in
with us. We we're gonna have a games called Malar's
Mountain of Money. So if you would like to play
Maler's Mountain of Money, here's what you need to do.
You need to call in because it's a call in operation.
(28:24):
Eight seven seven nine nine six six threes six y
nine eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty
nine if you'd like to be part of the program
mentioned the NBA. The Timberwolves get her done in game
number one. They were big underdogs, didn't expect in a
(28:44):
couple days before the game, it seemed like Anthony Edwards
was not gonna play. He did play, and we've got
some spicy talk post game from that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
A Minnesota matchup with San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama set a
record for block shots in a playoff game, but yet
Minnesota won the game when Banyama was not very good
offensively in the game, did have a triple double, he
just didn't do much offensively. And then one of the
(29:16):
Timberwolves ranting and raving post game, that would be the
great Terrence Shannon Junior, who want he had a message
to Wemby who had all those block shots, that he's
going to keep coming at him in the rest of
the series no matter what he said. I'm gonna keep
attacking the basket and he's gonna have to block it
(29:39):
every time.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
This guy said, every.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Time, when Banyama's gonna have to block my shot, I
ain't gonna stop going downhill. And I told him that
when he said a little something about after the block
shot my second one, he's gonna have to block it
every time? Man, I know he ain't gonna block it
every single time. Okay, we'll see if that works out
(30:03):
for Terrence Shannon Jr. I like the bravado. I like
the confidence. He's very, very confident. Some would say a
little too confident. And we'll sail oa to Steve in Manhattan. Hello,
Steve oh in Manhattan, Welcome.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Okay, susan three to two count on backman and the pitch.
Batman swings and hits the drive the deep left center.
It is high, it is far, it is the top
of the wall. The bulls rolling in toward the infield.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Ben, that's not right?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
How dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Folks? I have one home run that John Sterling did
not call, and that was Boone's game winner the American
League Championships Series two thousand and three, Yankee Stadium, the
South Bronx, New York.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh, wasn't that was Michael kay was doing that? Was
he the one doing the inning there?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Well? I was just surprised at Stirling because he's such
a professional.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Charlie it might have been Charlie Steiner that was doing
that back then?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Who called it on Ready for this, folks, now write
this one down. Charlie Steiner called it on w ABC radio,
and Steve Fromnhattan called it on ten ten wins with
John Manteaum. I was at that game, and he stayed
near and me near the end of the game with
that big boom, big boom mic because he knew he
(31:32):
was going to get the close he wanted. Now, what
happens is I called Boons's home run on ten ten wins.
Now man told what he has to do is he
has to start running towards the dugout. He's got to
get through the crowd and get into the dugout for
the you know, the postgame nonsense and everything. This is
what happens. He turns, he starts running. Listen, folks, I
(31:53):
lted him. I grabs his shoulder right and I'm beholding
him and I and I grabbed a big boom mic
and I say the curse and the curse of the babe.
And that was the end of that. And then a
few years later, I'm in Macy's in thirty fourth Street.
Everybody Harold Square and everything. The miracle on thirty four
Street I run into Mantone and I'm talking to him.
(32:15):
I said, you know, do you have any tape from
that game? He goes, no, we don't keep any of
the video or audio or anything. He goes, that's great,
but anyway, that was. That was that story. It was great,
a great time in sports. Sterling was a tremendous He
also let tremendous recall that guy and I probably he
came back to the w ABC radio last year for
(32:36):
a while, but then he left. I was one of
the last ones took who calls he ever took. There
are guys now who called twalk radio who called Sterling
like fifty years ago when he was on one of
the I think was WFC.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, he's been around a lot. I've been around eighty seven.
That's great. That's a great run. Eighty seven, right, it's
a good, solid run.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
It was a Manhattan kid.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
He's side Manhattan, and I love the fact that he
started and he's like doing stuff in Atlanta called like
the New Jersey Nets games back in the day, like.
