We'll explain.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
In fact, we're celebrating it with you, hopefully in Veuas
June twentieth, twenty first twenty second details at Covino and
rich RSVP. We hope to see you there in Vegas
at CIRCA, but thank you for being here in the
meantime in between time and like I said, prizes to
give away, things to discuss, stupid questions to pose. We're
(01:43):
gonna get it off with two dumb hypotheticals, two dumb
questions actually, but trust me, Yeah, tip it do. Yeah,
we're gonna get to the NBA. We're gonna get to
a little follow up. Yesterday we talked about the Savannah
Bananas and the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I was a heated discussion.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Here's a follow up I think will nail the conversation shut.
It has to do with attendance last night. So we're
gonna get to that. We're gonna get the NBA, NFL,
you name it, will talk about it. But there's two
questions to start the show with. Number one has to
do with pizza. Well, we ordered pizza today for the
(02:20):
cast and crewports you.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, we Frenchman me, you, Danny, We did it. We
we who do we give credit to Danny g our
boy Trip Trip again? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He he liked to debate so much yesterday about rockies
or bananas. He he texted me, he said, Hey, the
order is gonna be there for you, same instructions you
gave me on the order last time as far as
which pizzas to get, he said, But you gotta tell
rich this message that this pizza today came from a Rocky,
(02:53):
not a banana.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Wow, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What I got it. You gotta say this though, I'm
sorry if I stole your will you try to pose
it as your pizza? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
What's the big deal?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
The trip is the man? Hey, Trip ahead of us.
Got pizza for everybody here at Fox Sports Radio. We'll
be partying with Trip in Vegas. Obviously, free drinks on Trip.
Daddy stacks buying pizza for everybody. Really appreciate it, Thank
you very much. And nothing better than when someone brings
in a box of donuts or cookies or pizza to
(03:25):
the office. Everybody comes out, Hey, what's going on? What's
going pizza? All right?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yo, we got paper plates. Everyone gets all fired up
about it. It's nice team building in chemistry and camaraderie.
And then I heard Mancy say, and I quote, this.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Is how you order pizza.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That's right. This is how you do it. That's right.
We don't need all this meat lover nonsense, some cheese,
some pepperoni. That's it. Why are you complicating it? I mean,
so it dawned on me that, yeah, she's making a point,
a good point. I don't ever what about the meats.
I don't disagree with Mancy one bit. If you want
meat lovers, get a different meal pie. I'm in New
(04:05):
Yorker at heart. I live in La now, but I'm
a New Yorker. To me, I don't think any toppings
are necessary. I agree. So you get a Grandma slice,
a Sicilian slice, a slice of a piece of eat. No,
then you're not.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Doing it right now. There just pepperoni and cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Pepperoni and cheese. And if you're not satisfied, then no
pizza for you. Beat it, scramble am a ding dong.
So I do agree with you, Manci, But I could
imagine there's a lot of root and toot and meat lovers.
You want their meat.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Where's my sausage?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Where's my meat? Right, there's a lot of people that
want there. I think it's trash, to be honest, that's
the first one. That's the one that's least eating here
Los Angeles, where everybody's really foofy about their eating. If
you go, if you go to a state that has
like good pizza, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, like East
(04:58):
Coast Detroit, you go somewhere with a pizza's legit. I agree, MANSI.
It's plain or as we say in New York, regular
yea or pep caemberoni. You don't need all this nons veggies, lovers,
meat lovers stop it.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
That means you, you know what I mean, chicken pizza, pizza,
pine pizza, barbecue, chicken pizzas not pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You have different me Well, I guess you slab a
bacon on yours rich none of this crap to please everybody.
I do agree, but I think you're also cutting out
some other great options. I'm never one of those haters
because you want pineapple. Why if that's how you like it,
why are you so mad? I'm not hating on it.
I'm saying, if you want to appeal to the masses,
if you're ordering pizza for a kid's birthday party, for
(05:42):
the office, only for a fight night, all you need
regular or pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
In fact, you know what I compare to.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's like a good steak. What do they say, a
good steak only needs a little butter, salt and pepper.
You don't need dippings and sauces and all that. That
means you're an idiot. That means you have no you
don't need fick fins. Okay, so that's just the point.
I don't even think it's a debate. There's one way
to order pizza to keep everybody happy. And if someone's
not happy, they could beat it. Trust you could take
(06:13):
a hike. I go to Layne and Pepperoni. That's it.
I reluctantly, let me throw that word in there, reluctantly
go to way too many kids' birthday parties, having an
eight year old and a five year old. When you
look at the pizza at the end, what's left over?
Manzi's right, The meat lovers and the veggie lover pizzas
are like the yellow Starburst, like the banana laffy taffy.
(06:34):
It's like the one that no one wants. You're honestly
when the parents, it's the black licorice chuckle. It's the
black chuckle. It's the only one left when the parents, Like,
does anyone want to bring pizza home? Guess what? It's
always left those two bingo.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Why does Pepperoni take precedence over sausage? Like, I think
sausage is a better meat option than Pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Oh see, so there is a debate.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I don't think that's the I feel like most people
would say it's Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like, I get you like that sau I mean, but
again that would be for you. Yeah, Sam likes the
sausage out here. That's the rumor around here.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
I'm just saying, I think sausage better than Pepperoni. I
like Pepperoni. You know what for sausage?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I bet if we went to uh, you know Domino,
Johnny Domino of Domino's or whoever Marco from Marco's Pozzo
Johnny Domino.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, you know who's your favorite, Spotty, who's your guy?
Papa John?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, we went to Papa John himself. I'm sure Pepperoni
he's the number two options or number one when it
comes to toppings. So there's only one way to order pizza.
It's not even enough for debate. It's playing in pepperoni. Sure,
you can get whatever you want, that's fine. But when
you're ordering for the masses, especially for a big sporting event,
(07:48):
a pay per view, well becaus no one's gonna say
no to those options you met like, no one's gonna
be like, Ohren, you only got playing in pepperoni. But
people might say you like the Broccolian sausage one. Well,
for the records, you give it context. Anytime people order
pizza meat on it. Monzi doesn't eat it because she
(08:08):
doesn't eat meat, so she's always like the show relas
the Moon, but she's looking for the plain ciss So
you gotta have plane in pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The end, the end. What's your next? Thim just question
for the for the fun of it.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I you know you could chat GPT it, you could
google it. By far, the most popular pizza topping in
the United States is Pepperoni. Consistently ranks far ahead of
any other topping. Among other pizza toppings, Chad Gpt says
he loves his veggie pizza. Chad Gee, I love that
(08:42):
stupid second dune point before you get to the Knicks
and Thid, before you get to the whole Thibadeau story.
As I continue to, you know, become the number one
coach here at Fox Sports Radio. My God, really leaning
into that. And you wonder why gott Lee mean mugs
(09:03):
you in the hallway. I think it does that no
matter what, so about his lead into it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I hate the.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Game and it's crazy because Rich has a two thirty
five winning percentage.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Stop it, you just said that. So I uh, I've noticed,
just from my daughter and son playing over the last
couple of years, something has gone away, And I wonder
when we decided to make the transition. Yeah, transition, not
Bruce Jenner's style. Transition, Okay, something has gone away where Yeah,
(09:36):
in our practices or at the ballpark, or you're right,
they don't serve fat frogs and bubbalo Bill's an hour.
There is a transition okay that the world of baseball
and softball decided one day and everyone's like, yeah, you're right,
because I was thinking back to my little league days.
I mean, we didn't have all the glory. Steve Cavino
had twenty seven Little league home runs. It's quite accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I mean it's still a right I think Union New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But do we all agree? There was a year where
everyone's like, why are we wearing stirrups. Let's just get
baseball socks. So what are your kids wearing the socks
with the stripes on them? They are solid color just
for the fun of it. You realize once you have
to order a specialty socking, You're like, where am I
going to follow in this? They are all there on Amazon,
like we need to find black with I believe it
(10:25):
was like golden, like some special golden color stripe, and
they're there. When my son was on the Colorado Rockies
kids team, they have Rockies purple, they have every sock.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
But when was the shock with the stripe built in
on it?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah? But when did we'd say, remember when you were
a kid, did you you didn't have those corny stars?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Say?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It was around ninety four, ninety five, that's my guess.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When the strike they came back without stir Yeah, Paulo
was the batting champ, had a year to think about it,
and he came back with the socks with the stripe
on the side. I'm only saying that from experience. It's
because I know, for fact I was rocking the stirrups,
and then around ninety four, then then there's the sock
with the stripe, the illusion, and then they just said
(11:08):
no solid color sock or solid color with horizontal stripes. However,
every once in a while there's a throwback guy who
rocks the stirrup. I don't even think they make them.
I didn't even know what you were talking about. Really,
I had to look it up. No way, I was like,
what is a stirrup? Monci? That was like part of
your little kids baseball uniform.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't remember when I started playing softball, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So you always wear the like what tube socks?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah? Yeah, the stripes already. Yeah, softball players bes were
tube socks sometimes with the actual stripes.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's exactly what I would write.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So or if you or if your team was blue,
you just have that color blue sock or with stripes.
But when did the stirrup go? I guess when we
really went next level with the elastic technology, right, so
we didn't have the need for a stirrup. Did you
wear stirrups playing little No for real, No at.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
The two and one. I'm looking here. It says the
two and one was invented in the seventies. Oh wow,
but not everybody was using that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
No popularized for me in the mid to late nineties
out of it because in high school I was still
wearing stirrups in the nineties. I think I was wearing
like we had black stirrups. Yeah, and wow. I can't
believe Sam, you know what we mean by stirrups, right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I had to look it up.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
I was just had a tall baseball sock, a tube sock,
and the yeah, you tuck your pants in the sock.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now. I don't know the history, but I imagine socks
in the pants black stocking days, right back in the
old timy times when Scoops Callahan was reporting players couldn't
keep their socks up, so they would have stirrups to
keep them up. I would imagine that's where and why
it started. I'm making that up, that's my guess.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It says by the mid century, more players wore their
socks higher to reveal the white sock underneath. The advancement
of colored dyes and heightened sense of fashion in society
led to more colorful stirrups.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You'd have that stirrup on the bottom of your foot inside.
I picture Darryl Strawberry, by the way, today on this day, dude,
any player from the eighties on this day. Darryl Strawberry
was drafted by the Mets forty five years ago, and coincidentally,
I tied all together, guys on this day. In eighteen
fifty one, the first baseball uniform debuted, the first ever
(13:22):
baseball uniform. Before they were a basketball team, the New
York Knickerbockers. They wore straw hats, white shirts, and blue trousers.
So today was the first ever baseball uniform. But for
a century, players wore stirrups. If you picture Mike Schmidt
in the eighties, he was wearing that Philadelphia Philly red stirrup.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Anybody in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Automatically he was rocking a Navy blue Yello strup. Here's
a question, then, and this isn't to knock anybody. It's generational. Obviously,
if you guys didn't know what stirrups or what do
you think the players? Let's just say, what do you
think George Brett was rocking of the eighties. Anyone prior
to I don't know, ninety five, what do you think
they were wearing just regular socks or colored socks, because
(14:07):
you always saw the sock with that stirrup on it.
Great example, if you just google image George Brett nineteen
eighty five, the first thing that comes up is his
top baseball card. What did what do people think that is?
What did you think that was? That's funny and that's
not a knock at all.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm really wondering because I definitely wore stirrups all through
high school and you know, Little League. Obviously by the
college days, it was that sock that won sock. But
interesting that you brought it up Rich, because I guess
kids have completely abandoned on the day we celebrate the
first ever uniform, any kids today have completely abandoned the stirrup.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's no longer a thing. Look the eighties.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
When you're a little boy, google image Steve Garvey eighties.
What did you think those blue things on his legs were?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I didn't honestly, I didn't see those rich until high school.
Like the city I was in in southern California. Our
field was pretty poor. We were lucky to have some
nice colored socks.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Lucky to have socks.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, we had to go to uh what was it
played again Sports to get most of our equipment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's great, man, So yeah, completely gone. No kids right
away for throwback reasons. No, because kids all, if they're
gonna rock their pants more like knickers, they pull it up,
they have it up to the knee and you'd see
like the stripe of a solid sock. I know we're
doing a little baseball history here on Fox Sports Radio,
but I'm shocked at the younger audience and the younger
people here at Fox Sports don't know about the stirrup
(15:37):
like and there were styles to wear it. Two guys, right,
Like some people wore where you saw a lot of
the color, and other people you only saw the side
the side of and that was sort of up to you,
you know, you know sometimes Monci, now a guy will
wear his baseball pants where you don't see sock at all,
and then other guys will almost pull it up to
their knee. Sure, look up any eighties player and you're
(15:57):
gonna it's good. Like I just broke the glass yeah,
like you can name a player in the eighties they
think of like Ozzie Smith, red stirrups. That's so funny,
like you just never And then as I because I'm
ordering all these uniforms for the kid's pony ball, and
I'm like, man, we've come a long way. These sweet
like striped, golden and black socks. I'm like, I had stirrups,
and I'm like, I wonder when stirrups went away? And
(16:19):
here we are. Rich is for reference, the coach of
the West Hills Brown Stars, I mean All Star team,
so he knows a thing or two. And as Kevin
Hart says, you gotta learn something today. You learn how
to order pizza plain and pepperoni only. Stop making it scientific,
stop trying to please everybody that's it, keep it simple,
stupid and the others all the stirrups go huh. And
(16:45):
even more mind blasting is the fact and thought that
people thirty or thirty or so thirty ish and younger
have no idea what that even is. It's even in
Little League. They were probably told, oh, you're in the pirates,
get playing yellow socks around black.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Sox or the two in one socks It reminds me
of the fake football jerseys that my mom would get us.
She at the time she was single. Mom couldn't afford
the real NFL jersey, so she got the shirt that
looked like.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The transition Danny was the stirping sock to the sock
that looked like it had a stirrup on it. Yes,
all right, So we had a lot of people calling up,
not even sure why we're not giving away prizes yet
it's in one of our hot topics. Hot topics obviously,
Rich stirrup one exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Over Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So we're gonna get to that, but your thoughts on
this for sure, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
at Covino and Rich. The reality is everyone's talking about
Tom Thibodeaux. We're going to get to it, but we figured,
why not give you a little Tom Thibodeau breather break
in the action. Talk about some pizza and stirrups. That's
why that's why I eat pizza only in star only

(20:32):
guy he just took them on that run. We're gonna
get to that. But two dumb stories get fired on
your day off.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, Rich, I don't know whether to be impressed that
the phone lines are loaded or embarrassed both.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
We can be both. You know what it is, Danny
g We just went dummy fishing and caught trip, Andy, Marley, Bruno, Mitch,
and a slew of other people. Nothing tight. I'll tell
you what what we did was we unlocked a memory.
And the memory that we unlocked was having to wear
stirrups over your socks when you play the little league baseball.
In fact, I hit up my high school pals and
(21:06):
I said, Yo, guys, dumb thought that we're talking about
on Fox Sports Radio. What happened to the stirrup, and
my buddy said, holy s crazy, I haven't thought of that.
You unlocked the memory. I think forget he goes. I
think there was a specific year in high school, late
nineties where one season we went from black socks, I'm sorry,
black stirrups to the coach said, why don't we just
(21:27):
wear black socks? So there was a time, I think
late nineties, And if you try to backtrack it, you
could look at your favorite stars, Big Jim Tomey as
a twin, as an Indian, the big Barn Door. Would
they call him Jim tome Who do you think he
was wearing on his cavs that big galute had stirrups on.
Now there's a lot of young people thinking what the
(21:48):
hell are stirrups, which I'm shocked by. So I appreciate
your honesty because that makes the conversation so much more fun.
It's like when you tell a young person about Monica
Lewinsky in the blue dress. People are like, what, oh,
I got something to tell you. Wait, you don't know
about the cigar story with Bill Clinton? What? No, what
let me tell you? They don't teach you that. I'm
very excited to tell you what a stirrup is, young people, kiddos,
(22:10):
Stirrup socks are basically normal socks with a huge hole
cut in it for the entire foot, so you had
the bottom of the stirrup in your cleat, which was
bunched up depending on how you wore the stirrup. In baseball,
this is from AI Baseball, stirrups are socks worn over
traditional sanitary socks, serving both a practical and stylistic purpose.
(22:31):
Originally designed to protect players from potential infection caused by
dies in colored socks injuries that would scrape the shins,
and stirrup provide an extra layer of protection and also
an extra support to the sock.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And it also displayed the color of.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The team you were playing for, so as part of
the uniform that you rarely see nowadays. And Rich brought
it to our attention because none of these little leaguers
that he's coaching are wearing them at all, Like they
don't exist now team specialized socks.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Now, nobody else on our network has this content.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
No, no fact.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I just sent you guys all a video because I think,
is this a stirrup?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's an Oklahoma softball player.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Don't worry Monzie, because we're buying you some for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Okay, thank you, but can you just look at that.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I sent this to you guys, so we'll get.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
When you get a chance. I didn't get it. I
think I blocked you perfect.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm waiting for the text to come through on Fox
on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Tricks Twitter, because that's where I got the video. Okay,
eighty year older, now white, let's see Moncey sent us up.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I'm not a big Twitter guy. I'm always on x
at Covino and rich at Steve.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, yes she does. Right, do you see it moving
were you're at?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So I'm shocked that people it's generational. Some people don't know.
Other people are like, what of course everybody wore stirrups
back in the day in baseball. All right, Marley in Rochester,
let's start there.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
What you got, Bud, Yeah, man, I'm glad you brought
stirred up that memory. I remember them from the from
the late eighties into the nineties. I played little league
baseball in high school baseball, and we had different colors.
You know, hey, the mighty mighty Southwest Coast. We wore
blue stirrups and with the Wilson Wildcats high school baseball man,
we wore black and that mess with the black and
(24:18):
red man with the.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Coat it was blue and the yellow man. Yo, that's
not as dope. I want to bring you back. I
you you can bring them up, order them on Amazon itself. Man,
I would rock those with the old baseball shorts and stuff.
Man that that would look hot.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You know, Thank you, Bud Monzi. Appreciate great phone call.
But Monci, you did prove that they still exist because
this girl on Oklahoma is wearing them.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
And that's what tell you, yeah, exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but if you look around major League baseball now
I did, most players are showing no.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Sock right like he has like designers.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Once in a while, like Peter Lonzo will rock the
higher baseball pant and he'll wear like special Mets socks
with like the city skyline.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And Dodgers do that too. They got like the palm
tree sock with the sand the.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
White and blue pictro Tani his pants are going down
to the cleat. You're not seeing all kind of get
that though. It looks better with the sock, and I
think it looks cooler. Now I wonder if an he's
wearing gold toes or bombus, what's going on? What is
he doing?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I want to know?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So is he wearing the Nike dry fits. Let's go
back to the phones eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and now we'll talk some NBA Andy, Andy Andy in Mississippi.
What's up Andy?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Hey buddy, Hey guys.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The sanitary hose also made the look a lot cleaner.
So if you wore like tube socks that were white
with the wrinkles and the elastic in them, and you
wore stirrups over those, it looked kind of bush league.
So the sanitary hose made it a real smooth transition.
But the funny story I have.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I cannot laugh. And you say sanitary hose. Yeah, rich
ritually knows about unsanitary hoose.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, that's what I've heard everybody. But my mom my
brother wanted his stirrups like a half inch thin. Yeah,
a lot of the syrups were wide. So she would
take an old pair of underwear of his and get
elastic from the underwear, cut the stirrup at the bottom,
(26:15):
and sew the elastic of the underwear in between. So
he could pull them up even higher and make that
stirrup almost like pencil thin.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Some people wanted to do that. He was pinstriping his sock. Basically,
it was a whole look. Yeah, there was a definite
look to it. And now rich said, see the soccer,
your pants are all the way down. When you was
the first person you think of pants all the way down?
Many Ramirez, Yes on, yeah, Manny.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
For the Dodgers, Bonci, I think it was Corey seeger.
I picture him with the low pants. And by the way,
there is relevance.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's not only that Riches ordering uniforms for his little
nose picking team. Today is the anniversary of the uniform.
First baseball unif I'm ever worn on this day in
eighteen fifty one, and it was a straw hat, a
white shirt, and blue trousers by the New York Knickerbockers
of baseball, probably all made of wool. Very not breatheable,
(27:14):
no sweaty and itchy. All right, let's say hi to
Trimp in Vegas. Thank you for the pizza yet yet
thanks playing Pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
That's how it's done.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
What's going on, gentlemen, I got a new things I'll
cover all this real quick. So I'm at the club
being sans club. I got a new listener for john
I'm going to hear this no what's up Johnny pack
up on my heart radio, so he'll hear the shout out.
Wants to tape the lays off. So the reason I
send the chief pizza because I know that Monty is
(27:47):
a vegetarian and she made me single one day. Who
knows from to Vegas. And then the stirrups. I have
a friend of mine at work, her son. I was like, no,
they been letting were socks and choose. I'm like, no,
go get them cleats and stirrup and she's like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
She was so happy.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's part of you know what's interesting? It was I
just was trying to figure out timeline wise. We're sort
of learning this together now, right. If I look back
to our eighty superstars, like I said, Kirk Gibson, Paul
Mallin or Ozzie Smith, George Bread down, they all wore starups,
all of them. But if you look up, if you
google image, Frank Thomas King, Griffy Junior, that generation all
(28:27):
baseball pants down to the cleat and I think when
players started to show sock again, the STARp was gone.
There was a generation of that baggy pant longer pant
baseball uniform and the ccbathew would come out and as
Pj's it looked like and you know what, the starrup
was forever done unless you really, like you said, specially
(28:47):
order it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
The just moving on.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Crazy observation though, and wild to think that there's a
generation where they have no idea what that even is
because I thought that was part of the uniform. It
looks funny when you look at old football videos of
all the pads people used to wear that they don't now.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, I have to be careless in the NFL. You're
not rocking your pads.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Like you see some of Like if you watch an
old movie from the eighties and it's a football movie,
like what's with all the pads, dude?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Somebody guy?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Like NFL players don't even wear like thigh pads. Position
players looked like like picture Al Bundy for.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Pol Kai, like I'll pan it up, bulky sua.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Again, it's part of the era. It's part of the
look too. It was meant for protection, Like what was
it called like that you know the neck braces, that
cowboy collar. Yeah, the cowboy collar they would wear. That
went away. It just went away. So thanks again for
your feedback and your phone calls on the anniversary of
the uniform.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Any more phone calls and wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In the NBA, we give the Michigan Wolverines the Fab five.
We give them credit for changing the style of the
long shorts and the NBA changed. Does Kim Griffy Junior
not get enough credit because every Griffy he gets the
backwards hack credit, the backwards hap But also look at
every picture of Griffy when you google King Griffey Jr.
Everything's a looser fit nineteen nineties baseball pant and.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He was his band, he was the guy.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
So yeah, he probably doesn't get enough credit, but he
gets the hack credit and it all sort of coincides.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I think.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
All right, two more phone calls, wrap it up. We
got Bruno and Brooklyn. What's up Bruno.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Boy? CN?
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Are we love you man hey down here in Brooklyn?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Hey, hey, you guys hit.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
A nerve today with the stirrups. I love it from
from when I was a little league to Connie Mack. Enough,
you guys, you know Connie Mack was, Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It's so funny. I didn't think Anyon would get the reference.
My buddy Rob hit me up and he goes. I
remember wearing baseball socks for the first time in Connie Mack,
which we wore blue.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Yeah, Connie Mack, and then right into high school. But
here's the deal. I remember as a kid so pumped
to put the stirrups on because to your point, in
the eighties, when these guys are rock and the stirrups,
you thought you were a big league when you got
your stirrups.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
You felt and you always had. You rocked him up
again me at least we did. We rocked the meat.
But it was wild because our high school colors were
blue and gold, and I'll never forget they went with
these navy socks and the bright gold. I thought it
was like w W E gold stirrups. You know, you
look really crazy, but it was.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, well that was the other thing.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Another memory unlocked the accent color. R Yeah, the accent
color went this way. So I played for your union
high school, to say, right, and it was rooning gold.
So I had to have gold socks made of actual
gold Dandy g that's how Pimp I was, and Maroon
syrups to have that look. So I'd have the Roon
styrups with the gold sock. So thank you, Bernon. No,
(31:39):
let's go to Mitch to wrap it up. Mitch and Jersey.
You're on the Cavino and Rich show, Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Mitch?
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Im I'll gave you pretty quick things. Yeah, first of
the syrups did by guns right, they went a long pants.
It almost like gull bars. Yeah, that's pizzas so putting
on pizza. It just really cheese New York pizzas a bead,
that's right, Nick dabs on t It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
How about times cat Hey here a sent and not
a wing.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
Player play like a centate's seven feet four.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
They had to get another bigger guard because they booked
all over a birthday.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
Man, he's too short. Great score of them.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Thank you man. That you know what, that's a perfect
transition because after Monsi's update, we're going to dive into
some NBA, but of course we need to get pizza
and stirrups out of the way first. But you know,
we wanted to give you a Thibadeaux break because everyone's
talking about it. Well, we didn't know that conversation would
be such a hit with everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm going to be a passing start of comment. Well, yeah,
every line is still ringing and I'm not answering them
right now.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So we will talk Tom Thibodeaux. And there's two ways
to look at it. I get it, I get it right.
But I mean, they had a pretty sweet run, best
run in twenty five years. Or did they Well we'll explain,
but let's go to Mansi for an update. What's up months?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Yeah, well the big story guys, right Tom Thibodeaux being
relieved of his duties with the Knicks. Not only did
he take them to their first East Finals in twenty.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Five years, in four of the five years he was there.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
They went to the playoffs, he also led the Knicks
to consecutive fifty plus win seasons for the first time
since the nineteen nineties. The Knicks extended Thibodeaux this last
summer on a deal that was supposed to take him
through the twenty twenty seven to twenty twenty eight season.
He now finishes his time in New York with the
fourth most wins by a coach, enfranchise his story. A
little NFL news for you, hey, Bryce Huff He passes
(33:23):
physical with the forty nine ers, So all good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
There are you?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Rid Cole Know what? I love the fact that if
you connect the dots when he was with the Jets
and Robert Salah, yeah, I mean he performed really well,
as I said under Robert Sala reunited now in the
Bay Area, which is awesome for the Niners. Absolutely, absolutely
a big get.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yes, Michael Parsons not attending voluntary OTAs, but Brian Schenheimer
did say that he expects him to be present for
mandatory mini camp for the Cowboys. Baseball News Diamondbacks ace
Corbyn Burns goes on the fifteen day il with elbow inflammation.
Yankees closer Luke Weaver expected to miss four to six
weeks because of a hamstring injury, and Bryce Harper is
back in the Phillies lineup today following a five game
(34:02):
absence since taking a ninety five mile power fastball to
his right elbow. So he's back in action.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Back to you guys, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Know who else's back in action. Jazz Chisholm cheers. Jazz
is back.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Did he get hit with the fastball? Jazz?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Hey, let me throw this in there so that we're
gonna get to next with the Tom Thibodeau story, a
layer that a lot of people are not mentioning enough
every year, Isn't Tom Thibodeau consistently the coach voted player.
The players vote the coach least likely they want to
play for in those player surveys.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
But he's not trying to the man. He's trying to
win some games.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
If you come up and listen, if you look it up,
Tom Thibodeau has been consistently voted as the coach players
would least likely want to play for in those anonymous
NBA player surveys. So Miss Ramonci said four of the
last five years they made the playoffs under end though,
oh did you misswear? I sit and the one likes them.
We'll get to all this next. Covinoo retch right here
on Fox Sports Radio, Steir it up, Bro Bob Marley style.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I'm wearing to stir ups to work tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Harper. Rice Harper wears a high sock pulled up. Rich
and I are playing a game off the air. How
do you visualize these players? Name a player and you
got to think, oh, what type of socks are the work?
Because it's it's such a weird thought that baseball, which
we consider, you know, not the most flashy sport compared
to the NBA, in the NFL, the only show of
(35:33):
individuality in the world of Major League Baseball is do
you wear long pants or baseball socks?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Like I like?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
All right, if I were to say Jeter, when you're
a big Jeter fan.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Well, hold on, Rich.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Now that we've brought it up, I think I have
to tell everybody something personal to me here on the
Fox Sports Radio Nation. I don't know if my parents
are listening, but I am bisocksual. So when it comes
to my socks, I wear high pulled up. Sometimes when
I'm feeling like a down fool, I put yeah, I
pull them up really high.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
And then sometimes I wear the low boys.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Man, I'm showing a lot of a lot of man
like today.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I won't tell your parents are bisoxual. I won't need
stirrups when I wear the low boys like this, see
like a guy like Pete Alonzo, sometimes high sock, sometimes
low pants. Sometimes it's just us the mood, you know,
so right now before we talk about Tom Thibodeaux and
his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. We are
(36:31):
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time
for a tire Rack play of the day. The tires
Tigers Kerry Carpenter had magic in his bat in a
historic game for Detroit fly Ball white center field. Deep
Robert's back at the fence, looking up, he leaps and
it's gone home run three homer night for Carrie Carpenter.
(36:55):
That's the uh, the winning player right there. All the
nice home run courtesy of Tiger's radio network one, two, three,
nine prevented him from coming to the plate again for
a chance at four. That's the Tyract play of the day.
For over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast and free back by free Road has a protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack
(37:18):
dot Com, like tire buying should be rich.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Can I ask one more stupid question.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Please do? Why did Danny not pick when bhutto put
away the Dodgers and x Ranings last night? Because he's
still maybe mad about that.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
That wasn't historic, Harry Carpenter.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Yeah, and it was ten to nothings, so carry Carpenter's
first home run one that game.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And by the way, Danny Mets Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That was such a good game.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
You know, I wouldn't be up. I wouldn't be too
bummed if they split this series, because you know why,
it really is like playoff atmosphere baseball in June. It was.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
It was pretty pretty awesome watching.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Last came down to extras in those runners, the automatic
runners on second base, which is a debate for another.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Day, Tom Thibodeau is the big story of the day.
We're gonna get through this, I promise you. But since
it's the anniversary of the official baseball uniform and we're
talking uniforms, we spent so much time on it. I
got in a debate with me and a few of
my rock friends. Right, I'm on Turbo forty one every
night on SXM. Sorry to hear that, yeah, I know.
(38:17):
And ESPN did a documentary like a short story about
how someone broke the mold when it comes to different
colored Yankee hats, and they credit Spike Lee nineteen ninety
six for reaching out to George Steinbrenner to make sure
that he could wear a red Yankee hat to match
(38:38):
his outfit, and that was the turning point when the
Yankees beat the Braves in ninety sive so it wasn't
limp Biscuit. And I as a rock fan and Yankee fan,
I'm like, Hey, that might be true and all that
Spike Lee wore the red Yankee hat, But when I
think a red Yankee hat, I think of fred Durst.
Limb Biscuit did it all for the Nookie. In all
(38:59):
the Noky girls with their puffy jackets and the red
Yankee hat, they credit Spike Lee, not one mention of
fred Durst.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
And I'm like, man.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Brought it to the masses. If it wasn't for him,
those hats wouldn't be inside lid.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
You really think that? Because I think that too. But
I'm like, maybe I'm biased here. I'm a Yankees fan,
but I'm also a Olympiscuit fan. Nothing against Spike Lee.
He's great, and he's great for New York sports. He's
a huge fan. He gets the credit for that. Oh
if he was the first to go to Steinberner and
say is it okay? He's saying that he went to
New Era first, and New Era is like, no, we
(39:35):
can't do that because it's against you know, the rules,
Like Yankees got blue hats. So he went to the sources,
who went to Steinberner. Steinberner proved it, and after that
the floodgates open for different options for everybody. And that's
where the turning point was. Wow. But I credit Fred
Durst all the way Nioki came out in ninety nine
just for reference. Interesting le enough, I'm wondering who you
(39:55):
think of is the Is the baseball hat the one
piece of sporting equipment that also transcends into everyday life. Yeah,
they also say the NY Yankees hat is the most
famous sport hat in the world. Think about it in
other sports, basketball sneakers and baseball hats are those that
league leaders as far as like regular people wear them.
(40:15):
But it's technically sporting equipment. Yeah, it's the number one
sporting equipment that has hit mainstream or Zappatosta tennise tennis,
a baseball hat.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
There's no other. Yes, the baseball hat for sure. Yep.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
So anyway, I'm just wondering Fox Sports Radio Nation when
I say, red Yankee hat. Who do you think of
I think of Fred Durst two. So I'm with you
all right now. Moving on, Tom Thibodeau fired after five seasons,
four out of the five seasons in the playoffs. Furthest
they've gone since nineteen ninety nine. Fresh off of a
nice run. They were in a lot of the games.
(40:51):
They blew the first game. I mean it took a
lucky bounce to beat them in the first game, a
miraculous It was the luckiest bounce in the world. You
had a keep that in mind when we're talking about this.
Dude lost his job. I imagine Brunson did like the guy.
Your star player likes the guy. He defended him in
a press conference. We'll get to that. Your thoughts on
Tom Thibodeau being fired, We'll tell you what we think.
(41:14):
Do you look at him as a success failure. We'll
go over all the angles right here next on Fox
Sports Radio.

In fact, we're celebrating it with you, hopefully in Veuas

rich RSVP. We hope to see you there in Vegas
at CIRCA, but thank you for being here in the
meantime in between time and like I said, prizes to
give away, things to discuss, stupid questions to pose. We're
(01:43):
gonna get it off with two dumb hypotheticals, two dumb
questions actually, but trust me, Yeah, tip it do. Yeah,
we're gonna get to the NBA. We're gonna get to
a little follow up. Yesterday we talked about the Savannah
Bananas and the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I was a heated discussion.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Here's a follow up I think will nail the conversation shut.
It has to do with attendance last night. So we're
gonna get to that. We're gonna get the NBA, NFL,
you name it, will talk about it. But there's two
questions to start the show with. Number one has to
do with pizza. Well, we ordered pizza today for the
(02:20):
cast and crewports you.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, we Frenchman me, you, Danny, We did it. We
we who do we give credit to Danny g our
boy Trip Trip again? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He he liked to debate so much yesterday about rockies
or bananas. He he texted me, he said, Hey, the
order is gonna be there for you, same instructions you
gave me on the order last time as far as
which pizzas to get, he said, But you gotta tell
rich this message that this pizza today came from a Rocky,
(02:53):
not a banana.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Wow, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What I got it. You gotta say this though, I'm
sorry if I stole your will you try to pose
it as your pizza? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
What's the big deal?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
The trip is the man? Hey, Trip ahead of us.
Got pizza for everybody here at Fox Sports Radio. We'll
be partying with Trip in Vegas. Obviously, free drinks on Trip.
Daddy stacks buying pizza for everybody. Really appreciate it, Thank
you very much. And nothing better than when someone brings
in a box of donuts or cookies or pizza to
(03:25):
the office. Everybody comes out, Hey, what's going on? What's
going pizza? All right?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yo, we got paper plates. Everyone gets all fired up
about it. It's nice team building in chemistry and camaraderie.
And then I heard Mancy say, and I quote, this.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Is how you order pizza.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That's right. This is how you do it. That's right.
We don't need all this meat lover nonsense, some cheese,
some pepperoni. That's it. Why are you complicating it? I mean,
so it dawned on me that, yeah, she's making a point,
a good point. I don't ever what about the meats.
I don't disagree with Mancy one bit. If you want
meat lovers, get a different meal pie. I'm in New
(04:05):
Yorker at heart. I live in La now, but I'm
a New Yorker. To me, I don't think any toppings
are necessary. I agree. So you get a Grandma slice,
a Sicilian slice, a slice of a piece of eat. No,
then you're not.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Doing it right now. There just pepperoni and cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Pepperoni and cheese. And if you're not satisfied, then no
pizza for you. Beat it, scramble am a ding dong.
So I do agree with you, Manci, But I could
imagine there's a lot of root and toot and meat lovers.
You want their meat.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Where's my sausage?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Where's my meat? Right, there's a lot of people that
want there. I think it's trash, to be honest, that's
the first one. That's the one that's least eating here
Los Angeles, where everybody's really foofy about their eating. If
you go, if you go to a state that has
like good pizza, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, like East
(04:58):
Coast Detroit, you go somewhere with a pizza's legit. I agree, MANSI.
It's plain or as we say in New York, regular
yea or pep caemberoni. You don't need all this nons veggies, lovers,
meat lovers stop it.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
That means you, you know what I mean, chicken pizza, pizza,
pine pizza, barbecue, chicken pizzas not pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You have different me Well, I guess you slab a
bacon on yours rich none of this crap to please everybody.
I do agree, but I think you're also cutting out
some other great options. I'm never one of those haters
because you want pineapple. Why if that's how you like it,
why are you so mad? I'm not hating on it.
I'm saying, if you want to appeal to the masses,
if you're ordering pizza for a kid's birthday party, for
(05:42):
the office, only for a fight night, all you need
regular or pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
In fact, you know what I compare to.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's like a good steak. What do they say, a
good steak only needs a little butter, salt and pepper.
You don't need dippings and sauces and all that. That
means you're an idiot. That means you have no you
don't need fick fins. Okay, so that's just the point.
I don't even think it's a debate. There's one way
to order pizza to keep everybody happy. And if someone's
not happy, they could beat it. Trust you could take
(06:13):
a hike. I go to Layne and Pepperoni. That's it.
I reluctantly, let me throw that word in there, reluctantly
go to way too many kids' birthday parties, having an
eight year old and a five year old. When you
look at the pizza at the end, what's left over?
Manzi's right, The meat lovers and the veggie lover pizzas
are like the yellow Starburst, like the banana laffy taffy.
(06:34):
It's like the one that no one wants. You're honestly
when the parents, it's the black licorice chuckle. It's the
black chuckle. It's the only one left when the parents, Like,
does anyone want to bring pizza home? Guess what? It's
always left those two bingo.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Why does Pepperoni take precedence over sausage? Like, I think
sausage is a better meat option than Pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Oh see, so there is a debate.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I don't think that's the I feel like most people
would say it's Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like, I get you like that sau I mean, but
again that would be for you. Yeah, Sam likes the
sausage out here. That's the rumor around here.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
I'm just saying, I think sausage better than Pepperoni. I
like Pepperoni. You know what for sausage?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I bet if we went to uh, you know Domino,
Johnny Domino of Domino's or whoever Marco from Marco's Pozzo
Johnny Domino.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, you know who's your favorite, Spotty, who's your guy?
Papa John?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, we went to Papa John himself. I'm sure Pepperoni
he's the number two options or number one when it
comes to toppings. So there's only one way to order pizza.
It's not even enough for debate. It's playing in pepperoni. Sure,
you can get whatever you want, that's fine. But when
you're ordering for the masses, especially for a big sporting event,
(07:48):
a pay per view, well becaus no one's gonna say
no to those options you met like, no one's gonna
be like, Ohren, you only got playing in pepperoni. But
people might say you like the Broccolian sausage one. Well,
for the records, you give it context. Anytime people order
pizza meat on it. Monzi doesn't eat it because she
(08:08):
doesn't eat meat, so she's always like the show relas
the Moon, but she's looking for the plain ciss So
you gotta have plane in pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The end, the end. What's your next? Thim just question
for the for the fun of it.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I you know you could chat GPT it, you could
google it. By far, the most popular pizza topping in
the United States is Pepperoni. Consistently ranks far ahead of
any other topping. Among other pizza toppings, Chad Gpt says
he loves his veggie pizza. Chad Gee, I love that
(08:42):
stupid second dune point before you get to the Knicks
and Thid, before you get to the whole Thibadeau story.
As I continue to, you know, become the number one
coach here at Fox Sports Radio. My God, really leaning
into that. And you wonder why gott Lee mean mugs
(09:03):
you in the hallway. I think it does that no
matter what, so about his lead into it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I hate the.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Game and it's crazy because Rich has a two thirty
five winning percentage.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Stop it, you just said that. So I uh, I've noticed,
just from my daughter and son playing over the last
couple of years, something has gone away, And I wonder
when we decided to make the transition. Yeah, transition, not
Bruce Jenner's style. Transition, Okay, something has gone away where Yeah,
(09:36):
in our practices or at the ballpark, or you're right,
they don't serve fat frogs and bubbalo Bill's an hour.
There is a transition okay that the world of baseball
and softball decided one day and everyone's like, yeah, you're right,
because I was thinking back to my little league days.
I mean, we didn't have all the glory. Steve Cavino
had twenty seven Little league home runs. It's quite accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I mean it's still a right I think Union New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But do we all agree? There was a year where
everyone's like, why are we wearing stirrups. Let's just get
baseball socks. So what are your kids wearing the socks
with the stripes on them? They are solid color just
for the fun of it. You realize once you have
to order a specialty socking, You're like, where am I
going to follow in this? They are all there on Amazon,
like we need to find black with I believe it
(10:25):
was like golden, like some special golden color stripe, and
they're there. When my son was on the Colorado Rockies
kids team, they have Rockies purple, they have every sock.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
But when was the shock with the stripe built in
on it?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah? But when did we'd say, remember when you were
a kid, did you you didn't have those corny stars?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Say?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It was around ninety four, ninety five, that's my guess.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When the strike they came back without stir Yeah, Paulo
was the batting champ, had a year to think about it,
and he came back with the socks with the stripe
on the side. I'm only saying that from experience. It's
because I know, for fact I was rocking the stirrups,
and then around ninety four, then then there's the sock
with the stripe, the illusion, and then they just said
(11:08):
no solid color sock or solid color with horizontal stripes. However,
every once in a while there's a throwback guy who
rocks the stirrup. I don't even think they make them.
I didn't even know what you were talking about. Really,
I had to look it up. No way, I was like,
what is a stirrup? Monci? That was like part of
your little kids baseball uniform.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't remember when I started playing softball, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So you always wear the like what tube socks?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah? Yeah, the stripes already. Yeah, softball players bes were
tube socks sometimes with the actual stripes.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's exactly what I would write.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So or if you or if your team was blue,
you just have that color blue sock or with stripes.
But when did the stirrup go? I guess when we
really went next level with the elastic technology, right, so
we didn't have the need for a stirrup. Did you
wear stirrups playing little No for real, No at.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
The two and one. I'm looking here. It says the
two and one was invented in the seventies. Oh wow,
but not everybody was using that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
No popularized for me in the mid to late nineties
out of it because in high school I was still
wearing stirrups in the nineties. I think I was wearing
like we had black stirrups. Yeah, and wow. I can't
believe Sam, you know what we mean by stirrups, right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I had to look it up.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
I was just had a tall baseball sock, a tube sock,
and the yeah, you tuck your pants in the sock.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now. I don't know the history, but I imagine socks
in the pants black stocking days, right back in the
old timy times when Scoops Callahan was reporting players couldn't
keep their socks up, so they would have stirrups to
keep them up. I would imagine that's where and why
it started. I'm making that up, that's my guess.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It says by the mid century, more players wore their
socks higher to reveal the white sock underneath. The advancement
of colored dyes and heightened sense of fashion in society
led to more colorful stirrups.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You'd have that stirrup on the bottom of your foot inside.
I picture Darryl Strawberry, by the way, today on this day, dude,
any player from the eighties on this day. Darryl Strawberry
was drafted by the Mets forty five years ago, and coincidentally,
I tied all together, guys on this day. In eighteen
fifty one, the first baseball uniform debuted, the first ever
(13:22):
baseball uniform. Before they were a basketball team, the New
York Knickerbockers. They wore straw hats, white shirts, and blue trousers.
So today was the first ever baseball uniform. But for
a century, players wore stirrups. If you picture Mike Schmidt
in the eighties, he was wearing that Philadelphia Philly red stirrup.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Anybody in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Automatically he was rocking a Navy blue Yello strup. Here's
a question, then, and this isn't to knock anybody. It's generational. Obviously,
if you guys didn't know what stirrups or what do
you think the players? Let's just say, what do you
think George Brett was rocking of the eighties. Anyone prior
to I don't know, ninety five, what do you think
they were wearing just regular socks or colored socks, because
(14:07):
you always saw the sock with that stirrup on it.
Great example, if you just google image George Brett nineteen
eighty five, the first thing that comes up is his
top baseball card. What did what do people think that is?
What did you think that was? That's funny and that's
not a knock at all.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm really wondering because I definitely wore stirrups all through
high school and you know, Little League. Obviously by the
college days, it was that sock that won sock. But
interesting that you brought it up Rich, because I guess
kids have completely abandoned on the day we celebrate the
first ever uniform, any kids today have completely abandoned the stirrup.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's no longer a thing. Look the eighties.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
When you're a little boy, google image Steve Garvey eighties.
What did you think those blue things on his legs were?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I didn't honestly, I didn't see those rich until high school.
Like the city I was in in southern California. Our
field was pretty poor. We were lucky to have some
nice colored socks.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Lucky to have socks.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, we had to go to uh what was it
played again Sports to get most of our equipment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's great, man, So yeah, completely gone. No kids right
away for throwback reasons. No, because kids all, if they're
gonna rock their pants more like knickers, they pull it up,
they have it up to the knee and you'd see
like the stripe of a solid sock. I know we're
doing a little baseball history here on Fox Sports Radio,
but I'm shocked at the younger audience and the younger
people here at Fox Sports don't know about the stirrup
(15:37):
like and there were styles to wear it. Two guys, right,
Like some people wore where you saw a lot of
the color, and other people you only saw the side
the side of and that was sort of up to you,
you know, you know sometimes Monci, now a guy will
wear his baseball pants where you don't see sock at all,
and then other guys will almost pull it up to
their knee. Sure, look up any eighties player and you're
(15:57):
gonna it's good. Like I just broke the glass yeah,
like you can name a player in the eighties they
think of like Ozzie Smith, red stirrups. That's so funny,
like you just never And then as I because I'm
ordering all these uniforms for the kid's pony ball, and
I'm like, man, we've come a long way. These sweet
like striped, golden and black socks. I'm like, I had stirrups,
and I'm like, I wonder when stirrups went away? And
(16:19):
here we are. Rich is for reference, the coach of
the West Hills Brown Stars, I mean All Star team,
so he knows a thing or two. And as Kevin
Hart says, you gotta learn something today. You learn how
to order pizza plain and pepperoni only. Stop making it scientific,
stop trying to please everybody that's it, keep it simple,
stupid and the others all the stirrups go huh. And
(16:45):
even more mind blasting is the fact and thought that
people thirty or thirty or so thirty ish and younger
have no idea what that even is. It's even in
Little League. They were probably told, oh, you're in the pirates,
get playing yellow socks around black.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Sox or the two in one socks It reminds me
of the fake football jerseys that my mom would get us.
She at the time she was single. Mom couldn't afford
the real NFL jersey, so she got the shirt that
looked like.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The transition Danny was the stirping sock to the sock
that looked like it had a stirrup on it. Yes,
all right, So we had a lot of people calling up,
not even sure why we're not giving away prizes yet
it's in one of our hot topics. Hot topics obviously,
Rich stirrup one exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Over Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So we're gonna get to that, but your thoughts on
this for sure, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
at Covino and Rich. The reality is everyone's talking about
Tom Thibodeaux. We're going to get to it, but we figured,
why not give you a little Tom Thibodeau breather break
in the action. Talk about some pizza and stirrups. That's
why that's why I eat pizza only in star only

your day off.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, Rich, I don't know whether to be impressed that
the phone lines are loaded or embarrassed both.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
We can be both. You know what it is, Danny
g We just went dummy fishing and caught trip, Andy, Marley, Bruno, Mitch,
and a slew of other people. Nothing tight. I'll tell
you what what we did was we unlocked a memory.
And the memory that we unlocked was having to wear
stirrups over your socks when you play the little league baseball.
In fact, I hit up my high school pals and
(21:06):
I said, Yo, guys, dumb thought that we're talking about
on Fox Sports Radio. What happened to the stirrup, and
my buddy said, holy s crazy, I haven't thought of that.
You unlocked the memory. I think forget he goes. I
think there was a specific year in high school, late
nineties where one season we went from black socks, I'm sorry,
black stirrups to the coach said, why don't we just
(21:27):
wear black socks? So there was a time, I think
late nineties, And if you try to backtrack it, you
could look at your favorite stars, Big Jim Tomey as
a twin, as an Indian, the big Barn Door. Would
they call him Jim tome Who do you think he
was wearing on his cavs that big galute had stirrups on.
Now there's a lot of young people thinking what the
(21:48):
hell are stirrups, which I'm shocked by. So I appreciate
your honesty because that makes the conversation so much more fun.
It's like when you tell a young person about Monica
Lewinsky in the blue dress. People are like, what, oh,
I got something to tell you. Wait, you don't know
about the cigar story with Bill Clinton? What? No, what
let me tell you? They don't teach you that. I'm
very excited to tell you what a stirrup is, young people, kiddos,
(22:10):
Stirrup socks are basically normal socks with a huge hole
cut in it for the entire foot, so you had
the bottom of the stirrup in your cleat, which was
bunched up depending on how you wore the stirrup. In baseball,
this is from AI Baseball, stirrups are socks worn over
traditional sanitary socks, serving both a practical and stylistic purpose.
(22:31):
Originally designed to protect players from potential infection caused by
dies in colored socks injuries that would scrape the shins,
and stirrup provide an extra layer of protection and also
an extra support to the sock.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And it also displayed the color of.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The team you were playing for, so as part of
the uniform that you rarely see nowadays. And Rich brought
it to our attention because none of these little leaguers
that he's coaching are wearing them at all, Like they
don't exist now team specialized socks.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Now, nobody else on our network has this content.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
No, no fact.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I just sent you guys all a video because I think,
is this a stirrup?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's an Oklahoma softball player.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Don't worry Monzie, because we're buying you some for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Okay, thank you, but can you just look at that.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I sent this to you guys, so we'll get.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
When you get a chance. I didn't get it. I
think I blocked you perfect.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm waiting for the text to come through on Fox
on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Tricks Twitter, because that's where I got the video. Okay,
eighty year older, now white, let's see Moncey sent us up.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I'm not a big Twitter guy. I'm always on x
at Covino and rich at Steve.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, yes she does. Right, do you see it moving
were you're at?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So I'm shocked that people it's generational. Some people don't know.
Other people are like, what of course everybody wore stirrups
back in the day in baseball. All right, Marley in Rochester,
let's start there.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
What you got, Bud, Yeah, man, I'm glad you brought
stirred up that memory. I remember them from the from
the late eighties into the nineties. I played little league
baseball in high school baseball, and we had different colors.
You know, hey, the mighty mighty Southwest Coast. We wore
blue stirrups and with the Wilson Wildcats high school baseball man,
we wore black and that mess with the black and
(24:18):
red man with the.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Coat it was blue and the yellow man. Yo, that's
not as dope. I want to bring you back. I
you you can bring them up, order them on Amazon itself. Man,
I would rock those with the old baseball shorts and stuff.
Man that that would look hot.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You know, Thank you, Bud Monzi. Appreciate great phone call.
But Monci, you did prove that they still exist because
this girl on Oklahoma is wearing them.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
And that's what tell you, yeah, exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but if you look around major League baseball now
I did, most players are showing no.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Sock right like he has like designers.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Once in a while, like Peter Lonzo will rock the
higher baseball pant and he'll wear like special Mets socks
with like the city skyline.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And Dodgers do that too. They got like the palm
tree sock with the sand the.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
White and blue pictro Tani his pants are going down
to the cleat. You're not seeing all kind of get
that though. It looks better with the sock, and I
think it looks cooler. Now I wonder if an he's
wearing gold toes or bombus, what's going on? What is
he doing?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I want to know?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So is he wearing the Nike dry fits. Let's go
back to the phones eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and now we'll talk some NBA Andy, Andy Andy in Mississippi.
What's up Andy?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Hey buddy, Hey guys.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The sanitary hose also made the look a lot cleaner.
So if you wore like tube socks that were white
with the wrinkles and the elastic in them, and you
wore stirrups over those, it looked kind of bush league.
So the sanitary hose made it a real smooth transition.
But the funny story I have.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I cannot laugh. And you say sanitary hose. Yeah, rich
ritually knows about unsanitary hoose.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, that's what I've heard everybody. But my mom my
brother wanted his stirrups like a half inch thin. Yeah,
a lot of the syrups were wide. So she would
take an old pair of underwear of his and get
elastic from the underwear, cut the stirrup at the bottom,
(26:15):
and sew the elastic of the underwear in between. So
he could pull them up even higher and make that
stirrup almost like pencil thin.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Some people wanted to do that. He was pinstriping his sock. Basically,
it was a whole look. Yeah, there was a definite
look to it. And now rich said, see the soccer,
your pants are all the way down. When you was
the first person you think of pants all the way down?
Many Ramirez, Yes on, yeah, Manny.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
For the Dodgers, Bonci, I think it was Corey seeger.
I picture him with the low pants. And by the way,
there is relevance.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's not only that Riches ordering uniforms for his little
nose picking team. Today is the anniversary of the uniform.
First baseball unif I'm ever worn on this day in
eighteen fifty one, and it was a straw hat, a
white shirt, and blue trousers by the New York Knickerbockers
of baseball, probably all made of wool. Very not breatheable,
(27:14):
no sweaty and itchy. All right, let's say hi to
Trimp in Vegas. Thank you for the pizza yet yet
thanks playing Pepperoni.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
That's how it's done.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
What's going on, gentlemen, I got a new things I'll
cover all this real quick. So I'm at the club
being sans club. I got a new listener for john
I'm going to hear this no what's up Johnny pack
up on my heart radio, so he'll hear the shout out.
Wants to tape the lays off. So the reason I
send the chief pizza because I know that Monty is
(27:47):
a vegetarian and she made me single one day. Who
knows from to Vegas. And then the stirrups. I have
a friend of mine at work, her son. I was like, no,
they been letting were socks and choose. I'm like, no,
go get them cleats and stirrup and she's like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
She was so happy.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's part of you know what's interesting? It was I
just was trying to figure out timeline wise. We're sort
of learning this together now, right. If I look back
to our eighty superstars, like I said, Kirk Gibson, Paul
Mallin or Ozzie Smith, George Bread down, they all wore starups,
all of them. But if you look up, if you
google image, Frank Thomas King, Griffy Junior, that generation all
(28:27):
baseball pants down to the cleat and I think when
players started to show sock again, the STARp was gone.
There was a generation of that baggy pant longer pant
baseball uniform and the ccbathew would come out and as
Pj's it looked like and you know what, the starrup
was forever done unless you really, like you said, specially
(28:47):
order it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
The just moving on.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Crazy observation though, and wild to think that there's a
generation where they have no idea what that even is
because I thought that was part of the uniform. It
looks funny when you look at old football videos of
all the pads people used to wear that they don't now.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, I have to be careless in the NFL. You're
not rocking your pads.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Like you see some of Like if you watch an
old movie from the eighties and it's a football movie,
like what's with all the pads, dude?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Somebody guy?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Like NFL players don't even wear like thigh pads. Position
players looked like like picture Al Bundy for.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Pol Kai, like I'll pan it up, bulky sua.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Again, it's part of the era. It's part of the
look too. It was meant for protection, Like what was
it called like that you know the neck braces, that
cowboy collar. Yeah, the cowboy collar they would wear. That
went away. It just went away. So thanks again for
your feedback and your phone calls on the anniversary of
the uniform.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Any more phone calls and wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In the NBA, we give the Michigan Wolverines the Fab five.
We give them credit for changing the style of the
long shorts and the NBA changed. Does Kim Griffy Junior
not get enough credit because every Griffy he gets the
backwards hack credit, the backwards hap But also look at
every picture of Griffy when you google King Griffey Jr.
Everything's a looser fit nineteen nineties baseball pant and.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He was his band, he was the guy.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
So yeah, he probably doesn't get enough credit, but he
gets the hack credit and it all sort of coincides.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I think.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
All right, two more phone calls, wrap it up. We
got Bruno and Brooklyn. What's up Bruno.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Boy? CN?
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Are we love you man hey down here in Brooklyn?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Hey, hey, you guys hit.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
A nerve today with the stirrups. I love it from
from when I was a little league to Connie Mack. Enough,
you guys, you know Connie Mack was, Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It's so funny. I didn't think Anyon would get the reference.
My buddy Rob hit me up and he goes. I
remember wearing baseball socks for the first time in Connie Mack,
which we wore blue.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Yeah, Connie Mack, and then right into high school. But
here's the deal. I remember as a kid so pumped
to put the stirrups on because to your point, in
the eighties, when these guys are rock and the stirrups,
you thought you were a big league when you got
your stirrups.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
You felt and you always had. You rocked him up
again me at least we did. We rocked the meat.
But it was wild because our high school colors were
blue and gold, and I'll never forget they went with
these navy socks and the bright gold. I thought it
was like w W E gold stirrups. You know, you
look really crazy, but it was.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, well that was the other thing.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Another memory unlocked the accent color. R Yeah, the accent
color went this way. So I played for your union
high school, to say, right, and it was rooning gold.
So I had to have gold socks made of actual
gold Dandy g that's how Pimp I was, and Maroon
syrups to have that look. So I'd have the Roon
styrups with the gold sock. So thank you, Bernon. No,
(31:39):
let's go to Mitch to wrap it up. Mitch and Jersey.
You're on the Cavino and Rich show, Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Mitch?
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Im I'll gave you pretty quick things. Yeah, first of
the syrups did by guns right, they went a long pants.
It almost like gull bars. Yeah, that's pizzas so putting
on pizza. It just really cheese New York pizzas a bead,
that's right, Nick dabs on t It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
How about times cat Hey here a sent and not
a wing.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
Player play like a centate's seven feet four.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
They had to get another bigger guard because they booked
all over a birthday.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
Man, he's too short. Great score of them.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Thank you man. That you know what, that's a perfect
transition because after Monsi's update, we're going to dive into
some NBA, but of course we need to get pizza
and stirrups out of the way first. But you know,
we wanted to give you a Thibadeaux break because everyone's
talking about it. Well, we didn't know that conversation would
be such a hit with everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm going to be a passing start of comment. Well, yeah,
every line is still ringing and I'm not answering them
right now.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So we will talk Tom Thibodeaux. And there's two ways
to look at it. I get it, I get it right.
But I mean, they had a pretty sweet run, best
run in twenty five years. Or did they Well we'll explain,
but let's go to Mansi for an update. What's up months?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Yeah, well the big story guys, right Tom Thibodeaux being
relieved of his duties with the Knicks. Not only did
he take them to their first East Finals in twenty.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Five years, in four of the five years he was there.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
They went to the playoffs, he also led the Knicks
to consecutive fifty plus win seasons for the first time
since the nineteen nineties. The Knicks extended Thibodeaux this last
summer on a deal that was supposed to take him
through the twenty twenty seven to twenty twenty eight season.
He now finishes his time in New York with the
fourth most wins by a coach, enfranchise his story. A
little NFL news for you, hey, Bryce Huff He passes
(33:23):
physical with the forty nine ers, So all good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
There are you?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Rid Cole Know what? I love the fact that if
you connect the dots when he was with the Jets
and Robert Salah, yeah, I mean he performed really well,
as I said under Robert Sala reunited now in the
Bay Area, which is awesome for the Niners. Absolutely, absolutely
a big get.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yes, Michael Parsons not attending voluntary OTAs, but Brian Schenheimer
did say that he expects him to be present for
mandatory mini camp for the Cowboys. Baseball News Diamondbacks ace
Corbyn Burns goes on the fifteen day il with elbow inflammation.
Yankees closer Luke Weaver expected to miss four to six
weeks because of a hamstring injury, and Bryce Harper is
back in the Phillies lineup today following a five game
(34:02):
absence since taking a ninety five mile power fastball to
his right elbow. So he's back in action.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Back to you guys, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Know who else's back in action. Jazz Chisholm cheers. Jazz
is back.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Did he get hit with the fastball? Jazz?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Hey, let me throw this in there so that we're
gonna get to next with the Tom Thibodeau story, a
layer that a lot of people are not mentioning enough
every year, Isn't Tom Thibodeau consistently the coach voted player.
The players vote the coach least likely they want to
play for in those player surveys.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
But he's not trying to the man. He's trying to
win some games.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
If you come up and listen, if you look it up,
Tom Thibodeau has been consistently voted as the coach players
would least likely want to play for in those anonymous
NBA player surveys. So Miss Ramonci said four of the
last five years they made the playoffs under end though,
oh did you misswear? I sit and the one likes them.
We'll get to all this next. Covinoo retch right here
on Fox Sports Radio, Steir it up, Bro Bob Marley style.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I'm wearing to stir ups to work tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Harper. Rice Harper wears a high sock pulled up. Rich
and I are playing a game off the air. How
do you visualize these players? Name a player and you
got to think, oh, what type of socks are the work?
Because it's it's such a weird thought that baseball, which
we consider, you know, not the most flashy sport compared
to the NBA, in the NFL, the only show of
(35:33):
individuality in the world of Major League Baseball is do
you wear long pants or baseball socks?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Like I like?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
All right, if I were to say Jeter, when you're
a big Jeter fan.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Well, hold on, Rich.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Now that we've brought it up, I think I have
to tell everybody something personal to me here on the
Fox Sports Radio Nation. I don't know if my parents
are listening, but I am bisocksual. So when it comes
to my socks, I wear high pulled up. Sometimes when
I'm feeling like a down fool, I put yeah, I
pull them up really high.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
And then sometimes I wear the low boys.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Man, I'm showing a lot of a lot of man
like today.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I won't tell your parents are bisoxual. I won't need
stirrups when I wear the low boys like this, see
like a guy like Pete Alonzo, sometimes high sock, sometimes
low pants. Sometimes it's just us the mood, you know,
so right now before we talk about Tom Thibodeaux and
his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. We are
(36:31):
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time
for a tire Rack play of the day. The tires
Tigers Kerry Carpenter had magic in his bat in a
historic game for Detroit fly Ball white center field. Deep
Robert's back at the fence, looking up, he leaps and
it's gone home run three homer night for Carrie Carpenter.
(36:55):
That's the uh, the winning player right there. All the
nice home run courtesy of Tiger's radio network one, two, three,
nine prevented him from coming to the plate again for
a chance at four. That's the Tyract play of the day.
For over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast and free back by free Road has a protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack
(37:18):
dot Com, like tire buying should be rich.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Can I ask one more stupid question.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Please do? Why did Danny not pick when bhutto put
away the Dodgers and x Ranings last night? Because he's
still maybe mad about that.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
That wasn't historic, Harry Carpenter.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Yeah, and it was ten to nothings, so carry Carpenter's
first home run one that game.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And by the way, Danny Mets Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That was such a good game.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
You know, I wouldn't be up. I wouldn't be too
bummed if they split this series, because you know why,
it really is like playoff atmosphere baseball in June. It was.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
It was pretty pretty awesome watching.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Last came down to extras in those runners, the automatic
runners on second base, which is a debate for another.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Day, Tom Thibodeau is the big story of the day.
We're gonna get through this, I promise you. But since
it's the anniversary of the official baseball uniform and we're
talking uniforms, we spent so much time on it. I
got in a debate with me and a few of
my rock friends. Right, I'm on Turbo forty one every
night on SXM. Sorry to hear that, yeah, I know.
(38:17):
And ESPN did a documentary like a short story about
how someone broke the mold when it comes to different
colored Yankee hats, and they credit Spike Lee nineteen ninety
six for reaching out to George Steinbrenner to make sure
that he could wear a red Yankee hat to match
(38:38):
his outfit, and that was the turning point when the
Yankees beat the Braves in ninety sive so it wasn't
limp Biscuit. And I as a rock fan and Yankee fan,
I'm like, Hey, that might be true and all that
Spike Lee wore the red Yankee hat, But when I
think a red Yankee hat, I think of fred Durst.
Limb Biscuit did it all for the Nookie. In all
(38:59):
the Noky girls with their puffy jackets and the red
Yankee hat, they credit Spike Lee, not one mention of
fred Durst.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
And I'm like, man.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Brought it to the masses. If it wasn't for him,
those hats wouldn't be inside lid.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
You really think that? Because I think that too. But
I'm like, maybe I'm biased here. I'm a Yankees fan,
but I'm also a Olympiscuit fan. Nothing against Spike Lee.
He's great, and he's great for New York sports. He's
a huge fan. He gets the credit for that. Oh
if he was the first to go to Steinberner and
say is it okay? He's saying that he went to
New Era first, and New Era is like, no, we
(39:35):
can't do that because it's against you know, the rules,
Like Yankees got blue hats. So he went to the sources,
who went to Steinberner. Steinberner proved it, and after that
the floodgates open for different options for everybody. And that's
where the turning point was. Wow. But I credit Fred
Durst all the way Nioki came out in ninety nine
just for reference. Interesting le enough, I'm wondering who you
(39:55):
think of is the Is the baseball hat the one
piece of sporting equipment that also transcends into everyday life. Yeah,
they also say the NY Yankees hat is the most
famous sport hat in the world. Think about it in
other sports, basketball sneakers and baseball hats are those that
league leaders as far as like regular people wear them.
(40:15):
But it's technically sporting equipment. Yeah, it's the number one
sporting equipment that has hit mainstream or Zappatosta tennise tennis,
a baseball hat.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
There's no other. Yes, the baseball hat for sure. Yep.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
So anyway, I'm just wondering Fox Sports Radio Nation when
I say, red Yankee hat. Who do you think of
I think of Fred Durst two. So I'm with you
all right now. Moving on, Tom Thibodeau fired after five seasons,
four out of the five seasons in the playoffs. Furthest
they've gone since nineteen ninety nine. Fresh off of a
nice run. They were in a lot of the games.
(40:51):
They blew the first game. I mean it took a
lucky bounce to beat them in the first game, a
miraculous It was the luckiest bounce in the world. You
had a keep that in mind when we're talking about this.
Dude lost his job. I imagine Brunson did like the guy.
Your star player likes the guy. He defended him in
a press conference. We'll get to that. Your thoughts on
Tom Thibodeau being fired, We'll tell you what we think.
(41:14):
Do you look at him as a success failure. We'll
go over all the angles right here next on Fox
Sports Radio.
