Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, everybody, party I'm from the comfortable confines of
the Richmond Flying Squirrels manager Dennis Pomphrey's office, a place
where our guest has been before, but not on the
home side, on the visiting side.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So party time is here. Party Time number one, Inning
number one, Will the Throne Clark, Party Time, Inning number two,
Steve Klein Complete Nutcase, Party Time Inning number three, Carl
and Sam Ravitch and I just admitted to our guests
that I've prepared the lease for this party time because
(00:42):
this one is really really personal for me. I feel
like this person is a member of my family, this
person saying at my wedding, this person is unbelievably important
to me. And along with party pump cluver cheats, who's
hair cheats, what's up? We're missing Joe T. A shout
out to Joe T and his family who're going through
(01:05):
death and the family so much loved to Joe T. Hell. Yeah,
but I guess at any number four, none other than
the world champion Texas ranger Tony Beasley Bees. I am
so excited. My wife is so scared about what we're
going to talk about today on party time. But thank
you for taking your time away from your pregame schedule
(01:27):
to talk to us. Welcome to Party Time, Bees. How's
it feel to be on party Time?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's awesome. I don't know what to expect.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Obviously, this is not scripted, and I know party really well,
so I know that we can go in any direction.
But I'm just kind of skating on ice right now.
But I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, I truly consider you one of my closest friends
in the world and certainly in baseball. And so let's
just start, Bees. These aren't interviews, these are conversations. Why
it's taught me that a long time ago. But one
of the things I know is supported to you. We're
just gonna start right out of the gate. It's family
and it's faith. And one of the things that we
(02:06):
talk about on this on this Parting Time show all
the time. There's relationships. We'll get the hell you and
I met, but talk about how it all started for
you growing up in Virginia and how did baseball become
an important part of your life and and even relate
that to your faith if you want.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, well, baseball has always been like my in my family,
like my dad loved to play. They played Sandlox. So
I grew up watching my dad. He was a catcher,
and I had three uncles that played. They were two pitchers,
and one of them Lou Beasley, Uh, he played outfield.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
He actually was drafted.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
He played with the Orioles and actually kind of the
same path as me as drafted by the Orioles, traded
to the Pirates, which the same as I did, and
then end up in the Big leagues with the Texas Rangers.
Were like, yeah, absolutely, so kind of the exact same
sequence of teams that I've been affiliated with. So I
don't fate, I don't know what that is, but it happened.
(03:03):
And so I just grew up watching them play. And
we loved baseball man, and so my family every Sunday
after church we'd go and watch sand Lock baseball and
it was just a great time. But my dad was
always making sure that church was first, and so religion
and our spiritual side of our family was most important,
and then it was all about baseball. So I just
(03:25):
I fell in love with at a young age. I
played and was no one that went to college. And
my family, so I had seven brothers and sisters and
so I wanted to be the first one to do that,
and being the fifth child, I got a chance to
be that. And baseball was just my ticket to get education,
that's it. And I went to Lewisburg Junior College first,
(03:46):
just kind of cut stuff short here so around the time,
and just happened to excel there.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
But I went to Liberty after that. Didn't have any
idea really i'd get drafted.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I was just wanting to get my education and go
to school for my mom and was fortunate enough to
get drafted after.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
My senior year. And it all started back.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
In nineteen eighty nine and still doing it today.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Where did you meet guys?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I met Rizzot?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It was it was doing I met riz doing the
eighty eight season. He was at VCU and UH and
that's what we played them, and I met him then.
He was a legend, like I was in Louisbourg. Coach
Fraser was a legend. And then at Liberty I had
Bobby Richardson as my head coach, who obviously is a legend.
(04:34):
And so then you know, I kept hearing about Gus
down at VCU and.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
UH, and so got a chance to meet them as well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So so, so be let's fast forward. So that's that's
that's the foundation of your career. And then obviously as
a player you played that's interesting. I didn't realize you
played second base, right?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Did you play second yep?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So, so your coach in college was it World Champion
second for the New York Yankees. And I hate the
Yankees first, and I hated anything in the world. I
hate the Yankees. I know we're not supposed to hate bees,
but I hate the Yankees all right, But what was
that like being taught how to play second base from
somebody that played second base to where you are now
(05:17):
on the World champion?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, it was unbelievable because when I went to Liberty,
I was getting recruited by like four teams out of
four or five teams out of Louisbourg JUCO.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I pitched there. I only pitched there for two years.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I played a little bit of outfield, a little bit
of infield, but I didn't want to be a pitcher,
Like I was twelve and one at Louisburg Junior College.
But then when I got to Liberty, I went to
visit and Bobby Richardson, I asked them one thing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I said, listen, I can play the infield.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I said, I've been pitching, and I really don't want
to pitch all the time. I said, I don't thinking
that pitching is something that I could do once every
four or five days. But planned I could play every
day and impact your team. I could run really fast,
and I think I could do other things. And I said,
give me a chance in fall ball to play shorter
second which I played short there, I said, play shortstop.
(06:10):
And if I'm not good enough, I said, you are
major League on the one of the greatest teams ever.
At second basement, I said, so you know what you
know what the infielder looks like. And I said, I'm
if I'm good enough, then you give me opportunity to
play second base or shortstop wherever you want me to play,
and I'll close games for you and pitch Sparently, I.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Said, but if I'm not good enough, then I'll just pitch.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But if you give me that opportunity, I'll come to
Liberty University. And so he agreed to that, and I
didn't even go visit any other schools because he gave
me a chance to play out the infield. And then
he did see me playing in the falls, Like, yeah,
you're an infielder, so hey.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Not only did he do that for you, but think
about Bobby Richardson, who's a well renowned Christian. He was
on teams with Mickey man O Whitey Ford and Billy Martin.
He had his hands flow of bees.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, he was the guy that's you know, I know,
he did Mickey's funeral and uh so, like he's he's
well respected and really the impact of my life tremendously,
probably the most impact that any coaches had on my
spiritual life.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Because I grew up going to church.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I knew who God was and everything, but I didn't
know the intimate factors of being a Christian until I
met Bobby Richardson and saw how he lived his life
and saw how he interacted and I was I just
gravitated to that and I wanted to have what he
had as far as his spiritual comfort, and uh so
I saw it firsthand, and he really had a tremendous
(07:48):
impact on me. He still lives in something to South Carolina.
We talked last year and he's still doing it.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, well that's a nice segue, guys, because bees, that's
honestly how I feel about you, like I up at
a Christian hall my parents for missionaries. Look, I'm the
John Daily and minor league baseball right like you know
I have I have a good time. I wear the pants.
But when we met in oh Man, Bees, it's been
twenty years, bro right, two thousand and five, was in
(08:18):
two thousand and four, two thousand.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And five, two thousand and four, two.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Thousand and four, Holy smokes, I'm old. Time you get
the life insurance policy? Ready? Got it?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Ready? Sign here?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Please sign here? We met now Tuna Cheats and Wyatt
and Party Time listeners and Joe t wherever you're at
MP who's bought us off? We met in two thousand
and four and now Tuna Pennsylvania. Beeves is going to
manage our team. Uh and we met and Bees, I
don't know what you remember about it, but I remember
connecting with you instantly, and as a matter of fact,
(08:58):
in my office at the Diamond here and why I'll
give it to you can put it on the podcast snips.
I have a picture of me and you. You look
the same. I looked like it. I inhaled an air
pump and gained like one hundred pounds right. But what
I remember from that we had that we had to
meet the team event. And you might not remember this
(09:18):
because I meet the team event at the casino, which
I thought was a casino, but it wasn't a casino, guys,
it was just a food place. I was terribly disappointing.
But from that moment on, I felt like you did
your thing on the field with the players, we did
our thing in the front office. But you and I
were always there for each other. And that's the way
(09:39):
it's been for the last twenty some years. There was
a period where we didn't talk all the time, but
I've always known, hopefully you always know that we can
call each other, and that's you know, as I said,
we talk about relationships that's very special. And is there
any moments when you know, when we were together in
al Tuna that you could think of specifically because you
know I'm going to bring up one, but is there
(10:00):
any anything that you remember about our tuna and our
relationship that that you want to bring up first before
I before I throw down.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Well, I mean, I know where you're going for me.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
For me, it was just it was just the overall
thing about you know, I first got there. First of all,
you you were like a workaholic, unbelievable, Like they're all
in the early in the morning, all night and then
early the next Like, how's party you do this? Like
I don't even know how your body works, dude, Like
he's like some.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Well, there's some there's some mechanical stuff inside of you.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
This is made out of something different.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
But you know, just I just I just had a
great time in Tuna, like the support for from you
to my family and and.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Just anything that we needed.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was there that was like.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
The first my first real taste of what professional ball
like I felt like should have been like because how
the players were treated, how the staff was treat it, Uh,
the end game stuff. You always on the field doing
the stuff, like not just having promotions, but being a
part of the promotion.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Like you didn't care if you left yourself out there naked.
You know if it was you, you care.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Now somebody telse me make three.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Trips, not literally naked. But you're willing to do everything.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You participate in every event that we had, and you know,
players loved you, staff loved you, and you would consistent
every day. I mean you you Obviously you were hard
working and you kind of drove your workers to get
things done. You kept everybody accountable. But it was a
really professional environment and I enjoyed it. I mean you
(11:45):
you were serious. During the daytime after the game, you
guys had we had the little teaky type bar over there.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Where the club. He's where the ground screw was. And uh,
remember we.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Used to call that thing that loses club, and I
wouldn't come until we started winning.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So our coaches, Champ Andrews, Sean Wayner and I had
a club called the Losers Club, and we always invited bees.
Bees wouldn't come because we called the losers clubs. Like
I ain't hanging out with no losers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, we kept to that, but I mean, I don't know.
It was just a good time.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and we we had some players on those teams
that became you know household dames, right.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah, Yeah, Jose Batista came through there. You know, Ryan
Dumitt was there, Chris Duffy, Uh, Nate McCleod. We had
a lot of players that came through there. All the
pitching that we had, Paul Mhollam and those guys that
dude Tom Gorcelania.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, so we had Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Schanburnette was Schonburnette on that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Team, was before me, he was, He was there with Swimmer.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But yeah, that's right because me and Swimmer used to
take him out and drinking and I found out he
was only twenty years old.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Sorry, but it was the great environment.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
We had a good time. We had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah. And what I remember by that time is your
wife Stacy, and Tea was a little Tea back then,
and my kids Lindsay and Sammy were growing up. They
all grew up together. It was a real family environment.
But one of the things I said about Bees and
Bees asked me to come last year after they won
the World Series. I was incredibly honored. Bees's hometown had
(13:29):
a community day where they celebrated Tony Beesley hometown hero
right World Series, and Bees called and said, hey, Pintal,
they want somebody to speak just known me during my
professional baseball career, and I want you to come, so
Tanya with me. I was really honored. But one of
the things I said about Bees is really true. And Cheets,
(13:49):
if you know people like this, I'm sure you do.
Don't mistake beesus kindness. Don't mistake esus Christianity, don't mistake
beesus spiritually us for weakness, because when the when the
game's all aline. I'm going to tell this story really quick,
but it's one of my favorite stories of my entire career.
We're in Erie, the playoff of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right Bees, Yeah, in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, We're in Erie in the playoffs. John Waiter was
was Bes's hitting coach. And I'm there with my dad
now deceased, my uncle Bud now ninety five years old,
my uncle Bobby, now deceased. They wanted to see the playoffs.
We drove all the way from Altuna and we could clinch.
We could clinch, and I drove them out there and
(14:37):
was it a bean ball war? Something happen anyway?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Oh no, no, the score? Yeah, they beat us all year, man,
we couldn't beat up. That was the only team that
we couldn't beat during the season. And then we got
in the playoffs and we just if we just be right.
We weren't trying to run the score up. Remember it
was our race. Saddler was a second base. We were
up by a ton. Chris Duffy got a hit and
(15:02):
I was trying to stop Ray. Ray ran through the
stop sign and scored, and they felt like we're running
to score up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So then so Pete ain Coviglily, y'all remember Petereviglia, Petelia,
i'mongo hungry, right. Peter Coviglia jumps over the rail, starts
running onto the field. John Waiter, our first hitty coach,
first space coach, is ready to go get Pete and
Coviglia because they're both you know, whatever the bees bees goes. John,
(15:32):
get back to your position. Peter back in the dugout.
I squared to y'all. Pete in Cobiglia, all eight foot
ten of him, dug his tail between his legs and
went back in the dugout. And that's when people ask me,
tell me some shit you seeing you can't believe that's
one of the I was like. We we celebrated afterwards,
(15:53):
and my uncle Budd, who I said, still five ninety four,
we were spraying Champagne. Remember bees. I still got the
picture pictures of me and you and my uncles and
they're spraying and Matt Peterson whatever that picture started to
come over me in Champagne and somebody with bees or somebody, no, no, no, no,
don't Spray's uncles and my uncle Buckers. I saw this
on TV with the Braves one time, but I've never
(16:15):
seen anything like this in person. So that's one of
my that's one of my memories.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Bees.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let's talk about let's talk about and sheets get ready
for your one shot. When you when you left the
minor leagues and went into the big leagues. But then
you came back to the minor leagues and you managed
against us in Richmond when and you had an outfit
on that team named Bryce Harper. So the conversation I
had a question conversation, who was the player or players
(16:44):
that you worked with in the minors that impressed you
the most, not just on the field but off the field,
because I remember you saying to me, I'm like, Bees,
what's this Harper kid? Like I heard he's kind of
an ass and you were like, no party, he's awesome, man,
he's awesome. And then then he went like one for
five with four punchies, right, and he signed every autograph.
(17:05):
I mean, he was great, but you said, no party,
he's cool. He's cool. Hey, guys, that's all you gotta do.
Tony Besy tells me something's true, that's true. So who
are a player or two that's been that for you?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, I mean obviously Bryce was definitely because of the
hype that surrounded him when he came into pro ball,
and he had a target on his back and you know,
and so you know, he and I used to have
like ten minutes skull sussions every day just to set
down and talk about life, talk about how he was
going to handle the media and anything that may have
(17:37):
happened the night before that we needed to just.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Talk about from And he was nineteen.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, he was a kid, you know, he was just
a young kid, and so I wanted to try to
help mentor him as much as I could and just
just teach him how to be a professional and just
to stay focused and you know, not get so caught
up in everything that's happening around him. So yeah, I
saw him, you know, get I've seen him, you know,
want to go after fans at times. But I knew
(18:05):
in his heart that you know, he wanted to do
what was right and he cared. But you when kids
came up, he was like a little kid, you know.
But the other guy you'd be surprised is really was
Ian Snell. You remember Stell. Yeah, I know you'd be surprised,
I said Snell, because Ian Snell really had a no
(18:30):
But Ian Snell had a tough rap on him about,
you know, not being coachable and not being a good
teammate and all those things.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
But he actually was an unbelievable teammate.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He cared tremendously. The kids just had a tough background.
He grew up really tough. He didn't have a father
figure in his life for most of the part of
his mom raised him, and so he was missing a lot,
and he didn't trust people where he can just trusted
no one, And that's kind of how he had to
survive in his life.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
And so that's.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Why for me, coaching is getting to know each individual
personally and know what their background is. And once I
found that out about him, I knew that, you know,
I had to let him know that I cared about
him as a person first and that he could trust
that what I said or did was for the best
his betterment, it wasn't about me. And once we did that,
(19:20):
the floodgates were open for he and I. But I
was able to impact this kid's life and make a difference.
And when he when he sees other kids and stuff,
he's he plays it forward.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He really does.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
He gravitates to that. He still calls me today. He
calls me Pops.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
He just had another kid, actually not too long ago.
But the third person, I'll say it was Jose Batista.
Uh and everybody knows Jose Batista, but Jose Batista.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And I was hard on that dude because you were
at how about this? But the Powers traded him because
he couldn't hit for power and how's that that is?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That is amazing? You know? But he and then he
could hit. He always could hit. But you know, he
was a gap hitter.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
He was an oppos field gap guy that he would
run into it one and once once in a while.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
But you know, I think that with him, he loved
to play the game.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Of baseball, and the challenge to him was to make
sure that he was a good teammate because he'd go
four for five and he was so mad about making
that one out that he couldn't enjoy the four hits. Well,
the guy next to him may have been zero for
five with three punchies. I don't want to hear him
wandering about being one, four for five, and so just
(20:34):
explaining all those things to him.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
About it's not good for plumb house morale, not at all,
not at all. But he learned.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
He grew through all of that. But this dude, Batista
even now, like he sends a ton of kids to
college from Dominican. He makes sure he's he has a
big program that's it's all educational. He's a very intelligent
guy and he does a lot. He gives back to
the community and he's growing the game of baseball and
up in kids that are not privileged.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
He makes sure that they can get an education. So,
I mean, I always felt like this.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Every team that you play on or managed, there's gonna
be three or four guys that may have a shot,
the rest of them not. But everyone needs to be
a positive impact, positive individual and have an impact in society.
And I felt like that's that's our responsibility as managers.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Cheats, So you got one shot Cheats Black Baseball Mixtape.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
It's a good coach. Throughout your career you've had you've
been able to work with just extraordinary people. One of
those people that stood out for me early in your
coaching career. You got to serve under Frank Robinson. Can
you tell us a little bit about what that was
like and what you learn from that legendary baseball man.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, you know, that was a tremendous experience. Actually that
was my that was my major league debut, as far
as you know. I've never been to the major leagues
prior to be on his staff. And the weird thing
is when I got hired, Jim Bowden was a GM
at the time he hired me, and I really didn't
talk to Frank much until we got the spring training.
(22:11):
And you know, I had so much respect for him
that I went into his office after like three days
because I was scared to go in there, and then
he actually called I said, be he's skin in here.
So I walked in his office and I called him
mister Robinson. And in baseball that's taboo, like we just
no one does that. You everyone, no, But I could.
(22:34):
I would have guessed a million dollars if you called
him mister Robinson.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
For sure. I did. I called him mister Robinson.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And he looks at me and he said, and I said,
mister Robinson, he said, and I said, well.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I said, I get it. I said, I understand you know,
I know how things work.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I know that I should be calling you Frank because
everyone calls you Frank. I said, but I have so
much respect for you. That's hard for me just walking
here and just call you Frank. I mean, I haven't
spent time with you and having built a relationship. I said,
just out of respect, I just I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
But he did. He said, from he said, from this
day on, you call me Frank.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So what do you What do you say then? When
you said that, I mean, no, he was.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
He respected that, he respected, but he wanted to make
he wanted to make sure that I knew that from
that point on, I need to call him Frank. And
really I really didn't call him Frank that much at all.
I used to call him Skip. I just started calling
him Skip because I didn't I didn't feel comfortable calling that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But you know, he was really hard.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Sometimes like hey, that's right, but you know, we had
one we had one scenario. He was tough, like he
held everybody accountable like I was as a third base CoA.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That was my first time like.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Not being the manager and I'm the liaison from the
manager to the players. So I had to like suppress
my thoughts and what I would do in game, and
he told me, he said, I'm unorthor docs.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
He said, I will.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Do stuff off of a hunch or a gut feeling
and just it might not make sense to nobody but me,
but I'll do it. Stay with He told me that
very thing early before the season started.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
So, okay, we're in the midst of the season. Davey
Lops is the first base coach.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
He's a legend as well, and so we got two outs,
run on first and he gives me a hit and.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Run, which no one does.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's like, no one gives a two out hitt and run,
like it just doesn't happen. So I'm thinking, I said,
all right, he didn't mean to give me that, So
I didn't put it on, and batter made it out somehow,
I hit the ground ball and it was over. I
thought nothing of it. So I walked into the dugout
and they just made us start wearing the helmets that year.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So put the helmet.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Down and he goes, hey, bees, you had a second
I said, yes, skip, and.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm thinking nothing. So I walk over to him and
he says, he said, did you see did you see
that hit and run I put on.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
So right then, I'm thinking, oh God to myself, and
I said, I saw it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I said, I just thought you man hit it by mistake,
being that it was two outs. And he said that's
a mistake.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
And so then he goes, yeah, when you saw him
do this right here, then you knew he was serious.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So he says, then you take something. He said, who's
the manager of this team?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I said you are. He said, okay, good, we've established that.
He said, from now on, if I give you something,
you give it to the players. Can ever let that
happen again? He started doing that like that. I said,
it'll never happen again. David Oas is watching the whole thing.
David goes, what's he getting on you about? Because Dave knew.
They said, what's he getting on you about? I said, David,
(25:51):
he gave me hit and run right there. It was
two outside. I just didn't put it on. I figured
it was a mistake, and I said, but he told
me that no mistake. Hey, make sure that whatever I
see from him put it on. I said, don't ever
let it happen again. And David Loafs is tough too.
They was like, well, if he gives it to you again,
(26:12):
don't put it on again.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I said, I said, you don't have to do he
give it to me, I'll put it on.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
You can ignore that first basis, I'm not ignoring it
that third, I said, you deal with skip.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But he was good though, he was fine, And up.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Until the year when he passed, Uh, you know, we
stayed in touch.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And I was very.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Grateful and and and and this, and arned to have
the opportunity to be on the staff and to be
around Yes, yes, and and one of my favorites, you know,
I mean, you know, managed play both leagues and Mercan
League and the National League.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I mean just he did. He had accolades that that
you just you just didn't see at the time. So
just just grateful party. You'll actually enjoy this. I interviewed
Stewart once, Uh, and Smoke Stewart, I'd asked him who
was the best dressed player he had ever played with,
and Smoke Stewart said, davey lops. I don't know, I
(27:12):
don't I don't know his fashion, But Dave Stewart said
he was he was the cleanest ball player he had
played with.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, I should say he has some flo but him, yeah,
I mean Dave was. Davey was like he was like
one of them good, like he liked to be dressed up.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And making sure that he was smelling good and looking good.
But he was.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Pars. We're running out of time, but I want to
hit on a few things real quick, cheeks, and you
can help me. Bees. Oh isn't it nice when people
give you indicators? You said Frank Robinson, Like, my wife
goes like this, turns ahead and smiles. When she smiles
at you, she's thinking about how she's wanting to kill you. Right.
(28:08):
But but I mean, let Bee's leave until we talk
about him singing at my wedding, him singing the national anthem.
And then thirdly went in the World Series. Obviously be's
the Willie Mays. Did you Did you ever meet Willy Mays?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
No? I was not. I never had the opportunity to
meet him.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Every time that we played in San fran for some reason,
he wasn't around, so I missed the opportunity to meet him.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I wish that I had, but I didn't ever meet
Willi Mays because I was at Rickwood.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I think I told you this when he the night
he died, and I'll never forget one of the most
amazing experiences of my life to be at Rick wood
Field there in the Willie Mays Pavilion. When we got
word that he passed away. It made me think because
when you talk about the negro leagues a lot, people
are always talking about what you talked about growing up
around sand Lai and rickwood Field as a kid, and
(29:01):
William May's always talked about that, So I thought there
was some connectivity uh there as well. And you're I've
never met him either, and I wish that I would
have because I've been in rooms with him before, But
quite honestly, I never had the balls to go over
and introduced myself to him, you know what I mean?
Because yeah, hey, Bees, have you ever known me to
say that about many?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Though?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It was Willie May? Okay, William Yeah right, Frank, I
would have. I would have called him, mister Mays. I
promise that Bees, you sing the national anthem. Yes, at Pittsburgh.
We haven't met, We haven't mentioned that you you beat cancer.
(29:43):
I don't think you tell me. You don't use the
word beat, but but like you, you conquered it. You
and you and God spiritual. You could talk about that
for a second, but then you sang again, is it
true the story that you when you told the Texas
Rangers that you had cancer, that you were going to
be back and seeing the national anthem? Is that true story?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Well, I just I just said I didn't say about
the anthem.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
But I said that I was I was not gonna
like not be with the team and that I was
gonna like do my daily stuff. I never stopped working.
I just didn't coach THRBO. I kept hitting the ground balls.
Even when I had the port when I had to
have the drip for forty eight hours for chemo, I
do were that and just wore pull over and I
kept I kept doing stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
They were like, what are you doing out here?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Like I'm working and so you know, the character deal
was like I just went through that in faith and
I trusted God to heal my body and cancer.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I told him it was not an obstacle, it was
an opportunity. And that's just what it was. Because I
needed to be who I said I was.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
If I said I was a guy that walked in faith,
and I needed to be able to do that in
tough times. So my favorite Bible versus Tewod Corinthians five
and seven, it says before we walked by faith and
not by sight. And so I had an opportunity to
actually live that out. What an awesome experience. I mean, yes,
hardships they come, and no one's exempt from something tough
(31:05):
in their life, but it's not What happens is how.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You deal with it and how you're going to go
through it.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
And so I wanted to make sure that I asked
myself Earl, and said, God, how can I honor.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
You in this scenario, in this situation.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
So I was thankful man that I was able to
get through cancer and inspire people and have God's giving
me a platform because of that. Then now I can
I can inspire and help people that are still going
through it now. Yeah, And the back end of that,
they wanted me to sing the national anthem that opening day,
which was an absolute honor. You know, it was emotional
(31:42):
because I've been on the sidelines for a year and
the fans have been supporting me, praying for me, and
every I felt like everyone was in that fight with me.
And so the response that I got it was like
fifty three thousand people there and the ovation and just
it was just electric, man, And I was really nervous
(32:03):
about singing it.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Jeez, well, I can tell you that.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I can tell you that I was sitting in Parties
Pub here in Richmond, Virginia, in my office watching you,
and I cried my eyes out. But I'm getting ready
to cry again. So not only emotional for you, but
promotional for the many, many, many many people that loved you.
Were you as nervous singing at my Tania's I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
People that way, But I will say that I knew
what that meant to you. I knew, I knew the
magnitude of the moment and you and Tanya's wedding, and so.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
I did want to make sure that that was on point.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Hey, you didn't have fifty three thousand, but you had
as many people as that build it could hold.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
What was this song?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We want to know what the song was?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
All all of me by John Lay very nice?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
That was great. Hey, there wasn't fifty three thousand people,
but I think there was fifty two thousand. Contails Drake
that night. You may be right, as we're wrapping up chet,
you give us one more and I want to hit
him with this. When you remember when you you played
golf with me at the Me and Energy Charity Classic,
And it was when you were the inter manager for
the Rangers and I walked in. You remember what you
(33:16):
said to me? It was it was about the managing
job for the Texas Rangers. The next year, I said,
is it I say something about Boats? You said party,
I don't think I'm going to get it. Yeah, and
I looked at you and I said, everything's going to
be all right, Bees. And then when it became official,
(33:38):
because Boat Boach had called me and said, tell me
about Bees. I want to know about Bees. And I said,
you guys are different, but Bees and I are different,
and we're best of friends. You guys want to be tight.
You guys can be really tight. And when I spoke
guys at Bees this thing in this community, Boats gave
me something to say. He sent me a text and
(33:58):
one of the things he said was I'm just gonna
stay as close to Bees as I can so I
could ride his coattails. And that happened. That's what he said. Yeah,
just real briefly and then sheets you finish it up. Well,
let me just get back to work because we're tipping
us overtime these What was last year like winning the
World Series? Popping the courts with with Bruce Bochie, Just
(34:20):
give us a quick little answer. What was that? Like?
That's what everybody dreams about, right.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
It was tremendous. It was a dream come true. It
was just something that you can't even imagine. Like, I didn't.
I had no idea that I would be fortunate enough
to have that happen in my career, like so many
people that participated in this game, great players, Hall of Fame,
players that never won a World Series, and I'm fortunate
enough to be able to say I've won a World
Series and uh, to be a part of that was amazing.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
But you know, to share that with Boach.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
The Boach came in immediately, there was a win now
mentality and you know, he won three so we knew
that he knew how to do it. But just to
watch the whole season unfold, the ups the downs. We
started out hot, we got cold, we stayed cold for
a while. We just kind of just crept into the playoffs.
(35:11):
We didn't we couldn't play, we couldn't score a run.
The last game we lost.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
One was over at third base, what what's going on?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
But but the thing is about Boach is he was
so consistent, like he never you never saw him panic
or just worry about stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He just continued to just make the right moves, put
people in.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
The right place, and just trust, trust that things are
gonna work out. And I think our players respected that
and they they they bought into that, and and they
performed because of that. We got into the playoffs and
I mean it was all bets are off and the
guys just started hitting.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Was amazing.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It's amazing that the Boach like he was basically three
starters and almost three maybe four relievers the whole time,
the same guys to be kept putting the guys in
the right spot, in the right scenario, and they just
kept coming through. But you know, a lot, I think
a lot of scenarios where guys would deviate from the
plan or and he never did that. So just it
(36:11):
was amazing to get that done. And that feeling of
I don't know, in the midst of it, you're so focused,
you don't realize that you've won because you're just so
locked in.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I'm a third basically, I can't make a mistake.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I'll be a sports center every night breaking me down.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
So I'm like, I can't make a mistakes. I've got
to be laser focused. So when we won, I didn't
feel it until we had the parade, and the parade
was like three hundred to five hundred thousand people here,
and that it.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Was a great picture of you. There's a great picture
here of the prey. It's one of the most jubilant
pictures of you, Bees I've ever seen in my life.
It's one of my favorite pictures. Have it in my office.
It's one of your cars. These are cheats. Finish us up.
I don't mean to cut you off, and we kept
your way over time. Bees, Thanks for all your time.
(37:00):
One last question. Then we'll let be his roll and
beat Tim Leeper in the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
And a lot of people coach say baseball is life.
But just listening to you, I know that there's baseball
and then there's life as well. When you're mentoring young kids,
do you talk to him more about baseball or do
you talk to him more about life?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, I'm more about life.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Baseball is what I do, It's not who I am.
I love it. I'm passionate about it, but it's my job.
It's not who I am as a man.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Now.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I want to be representative of who I am in
the game of baseball. I won't want to compromise, you know,
myself because of the game. I just feel like, if
you know, when I die, then baseball is. But I
don't think God cares like coach for the Texas Rangers. Also,
I don't think I don't. I really don't think he's
(37:51):
going to ask me that he knows, but he's gonna
want He's going to want to know how I live
my life and what did I do to help to
build up the Kingdom of God and how did I
lift up Jesus.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And he's going to want to know those things.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
And how many people did I impact and how many
people did I bring into the fold and how many
people did I turn away?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
And so those are the things that's important.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
So I want to try to live a life that
when it's all said and done, that's what I want
to be remembered for. How I serve God and how
I lived my life to make other people's life better
than draw people closer to him. You know, if baseball
was a platform to allow me and help me to
do that. Then I'm grateful because of that part of baseball.
(38:38):
But baseball is definitely it's what I do, it's not
who I am.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Well, that's very very well said, and I want to
congratulate you because I think this is the first inning
of the Parting Time podcast that would not be rated
explicit by any podcasts, and so we probably accomplished something us.
My one asks or shit that I said is when
I heard the whole thing. But Bees, I love you,
(39:05):
I love you so much. Make sure you give Boach
a little love tap on the rear end when you
see him like this and say that's from party Thank you,
love Stacy, love to you, love your whole family. And
it really means a lot to me that you would
take this much time and I owe you twenty minutes,
but this much time out of your schedule for Party
Time hitting number four and you can listen to it
on all your social media platforms. Follow us, like us, subscribe,
(39:30):
do all that stuff Party Time.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Thanks for having me. Thank you man, I love you brother,
you know that. And the girls, so thank you guys
why and and cheats. So we had a good time.
So thanks for having me on today, all right, thank
you bees.
All right, everybody, party I'm from the comfortable confines of
the Richmond Flying Squirrels manager Dennis Pomphrey's office, a place
where our guest has been before, but not on the
home side, on the visiting side.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So party time is here. Party Time number one, Inning
number one, Will the Throne Clark, Party Time, Inning number two,
Steve Klein Complete Nutcase, Party Time Inning number three, Carl
and Sam Ravitch and I just admitted to our guests
that I've prepared the lease for this party time because
(00:42):
this one is really really personal for me. I feel
like this person is a member of my family, this
person saying at my wedding, this person is unbelievably important
to me. And along with party pump cluver cheats, who's
hair cheats, what's up? We're missing Joe T. A shout
out to Joe T and his family who're going through
(01:05):
death and the family so much loved to Joe T. Hell. Yeah,
but I guess at any number four, none other than
the world champion Texas ranger Tony Beasley Bees. I am
so excited. My wife is so scared about what we're
going to talk about today on party time. But thank
you for taking your time away from your pregame schedule
(01:27):
to talk to us. Welcome to Party Time, Bees. How's
it feel to be on party Time?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's awesome. I don't know what to expect.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Obviously, this is not scripted, and I know party really well,
so I know that we can go in any direction.
But I'm just kind of skating on ice right now.
But I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, I truly consider you one of my closest friends
in the world and certainly in baseball. And so let's
just start, Bees. These aren't interviews, these are conversations. Why
it's taught me that a long time ago. But one
of the things I know is supported to you. We're
just gonna start right out of the gate. It's family
and it's faith. And one of the things that we
(02:06):
talk about on this on this Parting Time show all
the time. There's relationships. We'll get the hell you and
I met, but talk about how it all started for
you growing up in Virginia and how did baseball become
an important part of your life and and even relate
that to your faith if you want.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, well, baseball has always been like my in my family,
like my dad loved to play. They played Sandlox. So
I grew up watching my dad. He was a catcher,
and I had three uncles that played. They were two pitchers,
and one of them Lou Beasley, Uh, he played outfield.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
He actually was drafted.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
He played with the Orioles and actually kind of the
same path as me as drafted by the Orioles, traded
to the Pirates, which the same as I did, and
then end up in the Big leagues with the Texas Rangers.
Were like, yeah, absolutely, so kind of the exact same
sequence of teams that I've been affiliated with. So I
don't fate, I don't know what that is, but it happened.
(03:03):
And so I just grew up watching them play. And
we loved baseball man, and so my family every Sunday
after church we'd go and watch sand Lock baseball and
it was just a great time. But my dad was
always making sure that church was first, and so religion
and our spiritual side of our family was most important,
and then it was all about baseball. So I just
(03:25):
I fell in love with at a young age. I
played and was no one that went to college. And
my family, so I had seven brothers and sisters and
so I wanted to be the first one to do that,
and being the fifth child, I got a chance to
be that. And baseball was just my ticket to get education,
that's it. And I went to Lewisburg Junior College first,
(03:46):
just kind of cut stuff short here so around the time,
and just happened to excel there.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
But I went to Liberty after that. Didn't have any
idea really i'd get drafted.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I was just wanting to get my education and go
to school for my mom and was fortunate enough to
get drafted after.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
My senior year. And it all started back.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
In nineteen eighty nine and still doing it today.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Where did you meet guys?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I met Rizzot?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It was it was doing I met riz doing the
eighty eight season. He was at VCU and UH and
that's what we played them, and I met him then.
He was a legend, like I was in Louisbourg. Coach
Fraser was a legend. And then at Liberty I had
Bobby Richardson as my head coach, who obviously is a legend.
(04:34):
And so then you know, I kept hearing about Gus
down at VCU and.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
UH, and so got a chance to meet them as well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So so, so be let's fast forward. So that's that's
that's the foundation of your career. And then obviously as
a player you played that's interesting. I didn't realize you
played second base, right?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Did you play second yep?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So, so your coach in college was it World Champion
second for the New York Yankees. And I hate the
Yankees first, and I hated anything in the world. I
hate the Yankees. I know we're not supposed to hate bees,
but I hate the Yankees all right, But what was
that like being taught how to play second base from
somebody that played second base to where you are now
(05:17):
on the World champion?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, it was unbelievable because when I went to Liberty,
I was getting recruited by like four teams out of
four or five teams out of Louisbourg JUCO.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I pitched there. I only pitched there for two years.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I played a little bit of outfield, a little bit
of infield, but I didn't want to be a pitcher,
Like I was twelve and one at Louisburg Junior College.
But then when I got to Liberty, I went to
visit and Bobby Richardson, I asked them one thing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I said, listen, I can play the infield.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I said, I've been pitching, and I really don't want
to pitch all the time. I said, I don't thinking
that pitching is something that I could do once every
four or five days. But planned I could play every
day and impact your team. I could run really fast,
and I think I could do other things. And I said,
give me a chance in fall ball to play shorter
second which I played short there, I said, play shortstop.
(06:10):
And if I'm not good enough, I said, you are
major League on the one of the greatest teams ever.
At second basement, I said, so you know what you
know what the infielder looks like. And I said, I'm
if I'm good enough, then you give me opportunity to
play second base or shortstop wherever you want me to play,
and I'll close games for you and pitch Sparently, I.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Said, but if I'm not good enough, then I'll just pitch.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But if you give me that opportunity, I'll come to
Liberty University. And so he agreed to that, and I
didn't even go visit any other schools because he gave
me a chance to play out the infield. And then
he did see me playing in the falls, Like, yeah,
you're an infielder, so hey.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Not only did he do that for you, but think
about Bobby Richardson, who's a well renowned Christian. He was
on teams with Mickey man O Whitey Ford and Billy Martin.
He had his hands flow of bees.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, he was the guy that's you know, I know,
he did Mickey's funeral and uh so, like he's he's
well respected and really the impact of my life tremendously,
probably the most impact that any coaches had on my
spiritual life.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Because I grew up going to church.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I knew who God was and everything, but I didn't
know the intimate factors of being a Christian until I
met Bobby Richardson and saw how he lived his life
and saw how he interacted and I was I just
gravitated to that and I wanted to have what he
had as far as his spiritual comfort, and uh so
I saw it firsthand, and he really had a tremendous
(07:48):
impact on me. He still lives in something to South Carolina.
We talked last year and he's still doing it.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, well that's a nice segue, guys, because bees, that's
honestly how I feel about you, like I up at
a Christian hall my parents for missionaries. Look, I'm the
John Daily and minor league baseball right like you know
I have I have a good time. I wear the pants.
But when we met in oh Man, Bees, it's been
twenty years, bro right, two thousand and five, was in
(08:18):
two thousand and four, two thousand.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And five, two thousand and four, two.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Thousand and four, Holy smokes, I'm old. Time you get
the life insurance policy? Ready? Got it?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Ready? Sign here?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Please sign here? We met now Tuna Cheats and Wyatt
and Party Time listeners and Joe t wherever you're at
MP who's bought us off? We met in two thousand
and four and now Tuna Pennsylvania. Beeves is going to
manage our team. Uh and we met and Bees, I
don't know what you remember about it, but I remember
connecting with you instantly, and as a matter of fact,
(08:58):
in my office at the Diamond here and why I'll
give it to you can put it on the podcast snips.
I have a picture of me and you. You look
the same. I looked like it. I inhaled an air
pump and gained like one hundred pounds right. But what
I remember from that we had that we had to
meet the team event. And you might not remember this
(09:18):
because I meet the team event at the casino, which
I thought was a casino, but it wasn't a casino, guys,
it was just a food place. I was terribly disappointing.
But from that moment on, I felt like you did
your thing on the field with the players, we did
our thing in the front office. But you and I
were always there for each other. And that's the way
(09:39):
it's been for the last twenty some years. There was
a period where we didn't talk all the time, but
I've always known, hopefully you always know that we can
call each other, and that's you know, as I said,
we talk about relationships that's very special. And is there
any moments when you know, when we were together in
al Tuna that you could think of specifically because you
know I'm going to bring up one, but is there
(10:00):
any anything that you remember about our tuna and our
relationship that that you want to bring up first before
I before I throw down.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Well, I mean, I know where you're going for me.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
For me, it was just it was just the overall
thing about you know, I first got there. First of all,
you you were like a workaholic, unbelievable, Like they're all
in the early in the morning, all night and then
early the next Like, how's party you do this? Like
I don't even know how your body works, dude, Like
he's like some.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Well, there's some there's some mechanical stuff inside of you.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
This is made out of something different.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
But you know, just I just I just had a
great time in Tuna, like the support for from you
to my family and and.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Just anything that we needed.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was there that was like.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
The first my first real taste of what professional ball
like I felt like should have been like because how
the players were treated, how the staff was treat it, Uh,
the end game stuff. You always on the field doing
the stuff, like not just having promotions, but being a
part of the promotion.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Like you didn't care if you left yourself out there naked.
You know if it was you, you care.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Now somebody telse me make three.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Trips, not literally naked. But you're willing to do everything.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You participate in every event that we had, and you know,
players loved you, staff loved you, and you would consistent
every day. I mean you you Obviously you were hard
working and you kind of drove your workers to get
things done. You kept everybody accountable. But it was a
really professional environment and I enjoyed it. I mean you
(11:45):
you were serious. During the daytime after the game, you
guys had we had the little teaky type bar over there.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Where the club. He's where the ground screw was. And uh,
remember we.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Used to call that thing that loses club, and I
wouldn't come until we started winning.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So our coaches, Champ Andrews, Sean Wayner and I had
a club called the Losers Club, and we always invited bees.
Bees wouldn't come because we called the losers clubs. Like
I ain't hanging out with no losers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, we kept to that, but I mean, I don't know.
It was just a good time.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and we we had some players on those teams
that became you know household dames, right.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah, Yeah, Jose Batista came through there. You know, Ryan
Dumitt was there, Chris Duffy, Uh, Nate McCleod. We had
a lot of players that came through there. All the
pitching that we had, Paul Mhollam and those guys that
dude Tom Gorcelania.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, so we had Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Schanburnette was Schonburnette on that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Team, was before me, he was, He was there with Swimmer.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But yeah, that's right because me and Swimmer used to
take him out and drinking and I found out he
was only twenty years old.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Sorry, but it was the great environment.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
We had a good time. We had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah. And what I remember by that time is your
wife Stacy, and Tea was a little Tea back then,
and my kids Lindsay and Sammy were growing up. They
all grew up together. It was a real family environment.
But one of the things I said about Bees and
Bees asked me to come last year after they won
the World Series. I was incredibly honored. Bees's hometown had
(13:29):
a community day where they celebrated Tony Beesley hometown hero
right World Series, and Bees called and said, hey, Pintal,
they want somebody to speak just known me during my
professional baseball career, and I want you to come, so
Tanya with me. I was really honored. But one of
the things I said about Bees is really true. And Cheets,
(13:49):
if you know people like this, I'm sure you do.
Don't mistake beesus kindness. Don't mistake esus Christianity, don't mistake
beesus spiritually us for weakness, because when the when the
game's all aline. I'm going to tell this story really quick,
but it's one of my favorite stories of my entire career.
We're in Erie, the playoff of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right Bees, Yeah, in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, We're in Erie in the playoffs. John Waiter was
was Bes's hitting coach. And I'm there with my dad
now deceased, my uncle Bud now ninety five years old,
my uncle Bobby, now deceased. They wanted to see the playoffs.
We drove all the way from Altuna and we could clinch.
We could clinch, and I drove them out there and
(14:37):
was it a bean ball war? Something happen anyway?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Oh no, no, the score? Yeah, they beat us all year, man,
we couldn't beat up. That was the only team that
we couldn't beat during the season. And then we got
in the playoffs and we just if we just be right.
We weren't trying to run the score up. Remember it
was our race. Saddler was a second base. We were
up by a ton. Chris Duffy got a hit and
(15:02):
I was trying to stop Ray. Ray ran through the
stop sign and scored, and they felt like we're running
to score up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So then so Pete ain Coviglily, y'all remember Petereviglia, Petelia,
i'mongo hungry, right. Peter Coviglia jumps over the rail, starts
running onto the field. John Waiter, our first hitty coach,
first space coach, is ready to go get Pete and
Coviglia because they're both you know, whatever the bees bees goes. John,
(15:32):
get back to your position. Peter back in the dugout.
I squared to y'all. Pete in Cobiglia, all eight foot
ten of him, dug his tail between his legs and
went back in the dugout. And that's when people ask me,
tell me some shit you seeing you can't believe that's
one of the I was like. We we celebrated afterwards,
(15:53):
and my uncle Budd, who I said, still five ninety four,
we were spraying Champagne. Remember bees. I still got the
picture pictures of me and you and my uncles and
they're spraying and Matt Peterson whatever that picture started to
come over me in Champagne and somebody with bees or somebody, no, no, no, no,
don't Spray's uncles and my uncle Buckers. I saw this
on TV with the Braves one time, but I've never
(16:15):
seen anything like this in person. So that's one of
my that's one of my memories.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Bees.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let's talk about let's talk about and sheets get ready
for your one shot. When you when you left the
minor leagues and went into the big leagues. But then
you came back to the minor leagues and you managed
against us in Richmond when and you had an outfit
on that team named Bryce Harper. So the conversation I
had a question conversation, who was the player or players
(16:44):
that you worked with in the minors that impressed you
the most, not just on the field but off the field,
because I remember you saying to me, I'm like, Bees,
what's this Harper kid? Like I heard he's kind of
an ass and you were like, no party, he's awesome, man,
he's awesome. And then then he went like one for
five with four punchies, right, and he signed every autograph.
(17:05):
I mean, he was great, but you said, no party,
he's cool. He's cool. Hey, guys, that's all you gotta do.
Tony Besy tells me something's true, that's true. So who
are a player or two that's been that for you?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, I mean obviously Bryce was definitely because of the
hype that surrounded him when he came into pro ball,
and he had a target on his back and you know,
and so you know, he and I used to have
like ten minutes skull sussions every day just to set
down and talk about life, talk about how he was
going to handle the media and anything that may have
(17:37):
happened the night before that we needed to just.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Talk about from And he was nineteen.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, he was a kid, you know, he was just
a young kid, and so I wanted to try to
help mentor him as much as I could and just
just teach him how to be a professional and just
to stay focused and you know, not get so caught
up in everything that's happening around him. So yeah, I
saw him, you know, get I've seen him, you know,
want to go after fans at times. But I knew
(18:05):
in his heart that you know, he wanted to do
what was right and he cared. But you when kids
came up, he was like a little kid, you know.
But the other guy you'd be surprised is really was
Ian Snell. You remember Stell. Yeah, I know you'd be surprised,
I said Snell, because Ian Snell really had a no
(18:30):
But Ian Snell had a tough rap on him about,
you know, not being coachable and not being a good
teammate and all those things.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
But he actually was an unbelievable teammate.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He cared tremendously. The kids just had a tough background.
He grew up really tough. He didn't have a father
figure in his life for most of the part of
his mom raised him, and so he was missing a lot,
and he didn't trust people where he can just trusted
no one, And that's kind of how he had to
survive in his life.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
And so that's.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Why for me, coaching is getting to know each individual
personally and know what their background is. And once I
found that out about him, I knew that, you know,
I had to let him know that I cared about
him as a person first and that he could trust
that what I said or did was for the best
his betterment, it wasn't about me. And once we did that,
(19:20):
the floodgates were open for he and I. But I
was able to impact this kid's life and make a difference.
And when he when he sees other kids and stuff,
he's he plays it forward.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He really does.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
He gravitates to that. He still calls me today. He
calls me Pops.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
He just had another kid, actually not too long ago.
But the third person, I'll say it was Jose Batista.
Uh and everybody knows Jose Batista, but Jose Batista.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And I was hard on that dude because you were
at how about this? But the Powers traded him because
he couldn't hit for power and how's that that is?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That is amazing? You know? But he and then he
could hit. He always could hit. But you know, he
was a gap hitter.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
He was an oppos field gap guy that he would
run into it one and once once in a while.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
But you know, I think that with him, he loved
to play the game.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Of baseball, and the challenge to him was to make
sure that he was a good teammate because he'd go
four for five and he was so mad about making
that one out that he couldn't enjoy the four hits. Well,
the guy next to him may have been zero for
five with three punchies. I don't want to hear him
wandering about being one, four for five, and so just
(20:34):
explaining all those things to him.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
About it's not good for plumb house morale, not at all,
not at all. But he learned.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
He grew through all of that. But this dude, Batista
even now, like he sends a ton of kids to
college from Dominican. He makes sure he's he has a
big program that's it's all educational. He's a very intelligent
guy and he does a lot. He gives back to
the community and he's growing the game of baseball and
up in kids that are not privileged.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
He makes sure that they can get an education. So,
I mean, I always felt like this.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Every team that you play on or managed, there's gonna
be three or four guys that may have a shot,
the rest of them not. But everyone needs to be
a positive impact, positive individual and have an impact in society.
And I felt like that's that's our responsibility as managers.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Cheats, So you got one shot Cheats Black Baseball Mixtape.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
It's a good coach. Throughout your career you've had you've
been able to work with just extraordinary people. One of
those people that stood out for me early in your
coaching career. You got to serve under Frank Robinson. Can
you tell us a little bit about what that was
like and what you learn from that legendary baseball man.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, you know, that was a tremendous experience. Actually that
was my that was my major league debut, as far
as you know. I've never been to the major leagues
prior to be on his staff. And the weird thing
is when I got hired, Jim Bowden was a GM
at the time he hired me, and I really didn't
talk to Frank much until we got the spring training.
(22:11):
And you know, I had so much respect for him
that I went into his office after like three days
because I was scared to go in there, and then
he actually called I said, be he's skin in here.
So I walked in his office and I called him
mister Robinson. And in baseball that's taboo, like we just
no one does that. You everyone, no, But I could.
(22:34):
I would have guessed a million dollars if you called
him mister Robinson.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
For sure. I did. I called him mister Robinson.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And he looks at me and he said, and I said,
mister Robinson, he said, and I said, well.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I said, I get it. I said, I understand you know,
I know how things work.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I know that I should be calling you Frank because
everyone calls you Frank. I said, but I have so
much respect for you. That's hard for me just walking
here and just call you Frank. I mean, I haven't
spent time with you and having built a relationship. I said,
just out of respect, I just I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
But he did. He said, from he said, from this
day on, you call me Frank.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So what do you What do you say then? When
you said that, I mean, no, he was.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
He respected that, he respected, but he wanted to make
he wanted to make sure that I knew that from
that point on, I need to call him Frank. And
really I really didn't call him Frank that much at all.
I used to call him Skip. I just started calling
him Skip because I didn't I didn't feel comfortable calling that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But you know, he was really hard.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Sometimes like hey, that's right, but you know, we had
one we had one scenario. He was tough, like he
held everybody accountable like I was as a third base CoA.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That was my first time like.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Not being the manager and I'm the liaison from the
manager to the players. So I had to like suppress
my thoughts and what I would do in game, and
he told me, he said, I'm unorthor docs.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
He said, I will.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Do stuff off of a hunch or a gut feeling
and just it might not make sense to nobody but me,
but I'll do it. Stay with He told me that
very thing early before the season started.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
So, okay, we're in the midst of the season. Davey
Lops is the first base coach.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
He's a legend as well, and so we got two outs,
run on first and he gives me a hit and.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Run, which no one does.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's like, no one gives a two out hitt and run,
like it just doesn't happen. So I'm thinking, I said,
all right, he didn't mean to give me that, So
I didn't put it on, and batter made it out somehow,
I hit the ground ball and it was over. I
thought nothing of it. So I walked into the dugout
and they just made us start wearing the helmets that year.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So put the helmet.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Down and he goes, hey, bees, you had a second
I said, yes, skip, and.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm thinking nothing. So I walk over to him and
he says, he said, did you see did you see
that hit and run I put on.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
So right then, I'm thinking, oh God to myself, and
I said, I saw it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I said, I just thought you man hit it by mistake,
being that it was two outs. And he said that's
a mistake.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
And so then he goes, yeah, when you saw him
do this right here, then you knew he was serious.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So he says, then you take something. He said, who's
the manager of this team?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I said you are. He said, okay, good, we've established that.
He said, from now on, if I give you something,
you give it to the players. Can ever let that
happen again? He started doing that like that. I said,
it'll never happen again. David Oas is watching the whole thing.
David goes, what's he getting on you about? Because Dave knew.
They said, what's he getting on you about? I said, David,
(25:51):
he gave me hit and run right there. It was
two outside. I just didn't put it on. I figured
it was a mistake, and I said, but he told
me that no mistake. Hey, make sure that whatever I
see from him put it on. I said, don't ever
let it happen again. And David Loafs is tough too.
They was like, well, if he gives it to you again,
(26:12):
don't put it on again.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I said, I said, you don't have to do he
give it to me, I'll put it on.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
You can ignore that first basis, I'm not ignoring it
that third, I said, you deal with skip.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But he was good though, he was fine, And up.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Until the year when he passed, Uh, you know, we
stayed in touch.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And I was very.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Grateful and and and and this, and arned to have
the opportunity to be on the staff and to be
around Yes, yes, and and one of my favorites, you know,
I mean, you know, managed play both leagues and Mercan
League and the National League.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I mean just he did. He had accolades that that
you just you just didn't see at the time. So
just just grateful party. You'll actually enjoy this. I interviewed
Stewart once, Uh, and Smoke Stewart, I'd asked him who
was the best dressed player he had ever played with,
and Smoke Stewart said, davey lops. I don't know, I
(27:12):
don't I don't know his fashion, But Dave Stewart said
he was he was the cleanest ball player he had
played with.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, I should say he has some flo but him, yeah,
I mean Dave was. Davey was like he was like
one of them good, like he liked to be dressed up.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And making sure that he was smelling good and looking good.
But he was.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Pars. We're running out of time, but I want to
hit on a few things real quick, cheeks, and you
can help me. Bees. Oh isn't it nice when people
give you indicators? You said Frank Robinson, Like, my wife
goes like this, turns ahead and smiles. When she smiles
at you, she's thinking about how she's wanting to kill you. Right.
(28:08):
But but I mean, let Bee's leave until we talk
about him singing at my wedding, him singing the national anthem.
And then thirdly went in the World Series. Obviously be's
the Willie Mays. Did you Did you ever meet Willy Mays?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
No? I was not. I never had the opportunity to
meet him.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Every time that we played in San fran for some reason,
he wasn't around, so I missed the opportunity to meet him.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I wish that I had, but I didn't ever meet
Willi Mays because I was at Rickwood.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I think I told you this when he the night
he died, and I'll never forget one of the most
amazing experiences of my life to be at Rick wood
Field there in the Willie Mays Pavilion. When we got
word that he passed away. It made me think because
when you talk about the negro leagues a lot, people
are always talking about what you talked about growing up
around sand Lai and rickwood Field as a kid, and
(29:01):
William May's always talked about that, So I thought there
was some connectivity uh there as well. And you're I've
never met him either, and I wish that I would
have because I've been in rooms with him before, But
quite honestly, I never had the balls to go over
and introduced myself to him, you know what I mean?
Because yeah, hey, Bees, have you ever known me to
say that about many?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Though?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It was Willie May? Okay, William Yeah right, Frank, I
would have. I would have called him, mister Mays. I
promise that Bees, you sing the national anthem. Yes, at Pittsburgh.
We haven't met, We haven't mentioned that you you beat cancer.
(29:43):
I don't think you tell me. You don't use the
word beat, but but like you, you conquered it. You
and you and God spiritual. You could talk about that
for a second, but then you sang again, is it
true the story that you when you told the Texas
Rangers that you had cancer, that you were going to
be back and seeing the national anthem? Is that true story?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Well, I just I just said I didn't say about
the anthem.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
But I said that I was I was not gonna
like not be with the team and that I was
gonna like do my daily stuff. I never stopped working.
I just didn't coach THRBO. I kept hitting the ground balls.
Even when I had the port when I had to
have the drip for forty eight hours for chemo, I
do were that and just wore pull over and I
kept I kept doing stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
They were like, what are you doing out here?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Like I'm working and so you know, the character deal
was like I just went through that in faith and
I trusted God to heal my body and cancer.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I told him it was not an obstacle, it was
an opportunity. And that's just what it was. Because I
needed to be who I said I was.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
If I said I was a guy that walked in faith,
and I needed to be able to do that in
tough times. So my favorite Bible versus Tewod Corinthians five
and seven, it says before we walked by faith and
not by sight. And so I had an opportunity to
actually live that out. What an awesome experience. I mean, yes,
hardships they come, and no one's exempt from something tough
(31:05):
in their life, but it's not What happens is how.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You deal with it and how you're going to go
through it.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
And so I wanted to make sure that I asked
myself Earl, and said, God, how can I honor.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
You in this scenario, in this situation.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
So I was thankful man that I was able to
get through cancer and inspire people and have God's giving
me a platform because of that. Then now I can
I can inspire and help people that are still going
through it now. Yeah, And the back end of that,
they wanted me to sing the national anthem that opening day,
which was an absolute honor. You know, it was emotional
(31:42):
because I've been on the sidelines for a year and
the fans have been supporting me, praying for me, and
every I felt like everyone was in that fight with me.
And so the response that I got it was like
fifty three thousand people there and the ovation and just
it was just electric, man, And I was really nervous
(32:03):
about singing it.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Jeez, well, I can tell you that.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I can tell you that I was sitting in Parties
Pub here in Richmond, Virginia, in my office watching you,
and I cried my eyes out. But I'm getting ready
to cry again. So not only emotional for you, but
promotional for the many, many, many many people that loved you.
Were you as nervous singing at my Tania's I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
People that way, But I will say that I knew
what that meant to you. I knew, I knew the
magnitude of the moment and you and Tanya's wedding, and so.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
I did want to make sure that that was on point.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Hey, you didn't have fifty three thousand, but you had
as many people as that build it could hold.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
What was this song?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We want to know what the song was?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
All all of me by John Lay very nice?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
That was great. Hey, there wasn't fifty three thousand people,
but I think there was fifty two thousand. Contails Drake
that night. You may be right, as we're wrapping up chet,
you give us one more and I want to hit
him with this. When you remember when you you played
golf with me at the Me and Energy Charity Classic,
And it was when you were the inter manager for
the Rangers and I walked in. You remember what you
(33:16):
said to me? It was it was about the managing
job for the Texas Rangers. The next year, I said,
is it I say something about Boats? You said party,
I don't think I'm going to get it. Yeah, and
I looked at you and I said, everything's going to
be all right, Bees. And then when it became official,
(33:38):
because Boat Boach had called me and said, tell me
about Bees. I want to know about Bees. And I said,
you guys are different, but Bees and I are different,
and we're best of friends. You guys want to be tight.
You guys can be really tight. And when I spoke
guys at Bees this thing in this community, Boats gave
me something to say. He sent me a text and
(33:58):
one of the things he said was I'm just gonna
stay as close to Bees as I can so I
could ride his coattails. And that happened. That's what he said. Yeah,
just real briefly and then sheets you finish it up. Well,
let me just get back to work because we're tipping
us overtime these What was last year like winning the
World Series? Popping the courts with with Bruce Bochie, Just
(34:20):
give us a quick little answer. What was that? Like?
That's what everybody dreams about, right.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
It was tremendous. It was a dream come true. It
was just something that you can't even imagine. Like, I didn't.
I had no idea that I would be fortunate enough
to have that happen in my career, like so many
people that participated in this game, great players, Hall of Fame,
players that never won a World Series, and I'm fortunate
enough to be able to say I've won a World
Series and uh, to be a part of that was amazing.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
But you know, to share that with Boach.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
The Boach came in immediately, there was a win now
mentality and you know, he won three so we knew
that he knew how to do it. But just to
watch the whole season unfold, the ups the downs. We
started out hot, we got cold, we stayed cold for
a while. We just kind of just crept into the playoffs.
(35:11):
We didn't we couldn't play, we couldn't score a run.
The last game we lost.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
One was over at third base, what what's going on?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
But but the thing is about Boach is he was
so consistent, like he never you never saw him panic
or just worry about stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He just continued to just make the right moves, put
people in.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
The right place, and just trust, trust that things are
gonna work out. And I think our players respected that
and they they they bought into that, and and they
performed because of that. We got into the playoffs and
I mean it was all bets are off and the
guys just started hitting.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Was amazing.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It's amazing that the Boach like he was basically three
starters and almost three maybe four relievers the whole time,
the same guys to be kept putting the guys in
the right spot, in the right scenario, and they just
kept coming through. But you know, a lot, I think
a lot of scenarios where guys would deviate from the
plan or and he never did that. So just it
(36:11):
was amazing to get that done. And that feeling of
I don't know, in the midst of it, you're so focused,
you don't realize that you've won because you're just so
locked in.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I'm a third basically, I can't make a mistake.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I'll be a sports center every night breaking me down.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
So I'm like, I can't make a mistakes. I've got
to be laser focused. So when we won, I didn't
feel it until we had the parade, and the parade
was like three hundred to five hundred thousand people here,
and that it.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Was a great picture of you. There's a great picture
here of the prey. It's one of the most jubilant
pictures of you, Bees I've ever seen in my life.
It's one of my favorite pictures. Have it in my office.
It's one of your cars. These are cheats. Finish us up.
I don't mean to cut you off, and we kept
your way over time. Bees, Thanks for all your time.
(37:00):
One last question. Then we'll let be his roll and
beat Tim Leeper in the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
And a lot of people coach say baseball is life.
But just listening to you, I know that there's baseball
and then there's life as well. When you're mentoring young kids,
do you talk to him more about baseball or do
you talk to him more about life?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, I'm more about life.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Baseball is what I do, It's not who I am.
I love it. I'm passionate about it, but it's my job.
It's not who I am as a man.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Now.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I want to be representative of who I am in
the game of baseball. I won't want to compromise, you know,
myself because of the game. I just feel like, if
you know, when I die, then baseball is. But I
don't think God cares like coach for the Texas Rangers. Also,
I don't think I don't. I really don't think he's
(37:51):
going to ask me that he knows, but he's gonna
want He's going to want to know how I live
my life and what did I do to help to
build up the Kingdom of God and how did I
lift up Jesus.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And he's going to want to know those things.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
And how many people did I impact and how many
people did I bring into the fold and how many
people did I turn away?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
And so those are the things that's important.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
So I want to try to live a life that
when it's all said and done, that's what I want
to be remembered for. How I serve God and how
I lived my life to make other people's life better
than draw people closer to him. You know, if baseball
was a platform to allow me and help me to
do that. Then I'm grateful because of that part of baseball.
(38:38):
But baseball is definitely it's what I do, it's not
who I am.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Well, that's very very well said, and I want to
congratulate you because I think this is the first inning
of the Parting Time podcast that would not be rated
explicit by any podcasts, and so we probably accomplished something us.
My one asks or shit that I said is when
I heard the whole thing. But Bees, I love you,
(39:05):
I love you so much. Make sure you give Boach
a little love tap on the rear end when you
see him like this and say that's from party Thank you,
love Stacy, love to you, love your whole family. And
it really means a lot to me that you would
take this much time and I owe you twenty minutes,
but this much time out of your schedule for Party

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
