Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Trickeration, a production of I Heart Radio. Welcome
back to another episode of the Trickeration podcast, your number
one spot for stories about deception in sports. I'm your host,
Matt and this week we're joined by Sports Prank Royalty,
the instigator of what some call the greatest baseball prank
of all time. It's certainly in the running and if
(00:24):
you're new to the podcast, this is episode sixteen, so
be sure to check out the archive, which is filled
with total sports insanity, including a spring training Kirsty Alley
underwear bet and a month long Lucy Lou Lakers prank
that culminates in Kobe Bryant sipping champagne. Not to be missed.
But let's get to today, a story that easily could
have happened in the movie Bull Durham but actually happened
(00:47):
in real life onto the show. As much as we
all love playing baseball, it is a grind. We really
number have a day off. It doesn't matter if you're
taking eight nine hour bus rides and you pull into
a hotel at four or five in the morning, that's
just minor league life. You know, you're carrying your own
(01:10):
bags and you're in cheap hotels, and sometimes you need
to kind of break the monotony. It was the doggiest
of dog days of the baseball season, and Dave Bresnahan,
the backup catcher for the Williamsport Bills, the Cleveland Indians
Double A affiliate, had an idea and you know, I've
always wanted to do this, but it was never the
(01:31):
right time. But with the team in second to last
place with only a few games remaining, the time was
right for a prank. If we're in first place, we're
not doing any of this stuff. You know. It was
a rough season. We did have a managerial change mid season,
in a rare move, the Triple A manager Orlando Gomez
had been demoted to manager of the Double A squad,
(01:51):
a decision he wasn't happy about. And everybody was looking
forward to just having the season end. And do you
remember when this idea for came into your head? I do.
It was Joey's Place in Williams Court. Yeah, that was
the place we would go usually after the ballgame because
they stayed open, and you know, we can't go in
(02:12):
there and wind down. And it was just board players
having a discussion about, you know, doing a prank during
the game. Residenthan's master plan was to incorporate a baseball
shaped potato into a pickoff attempt. You know, the guys
seemed to enjoy the humor in it. And then the
discussion is how do we do it? I mean, we
(02:35):
talked about other vegetables, like an onion because it's white,
and you know, I'm an Irish guy, and I just
thought it would be funny if it was a potato.
During the bullpen you have that, you know, kind of downtime,
and so I did feel a few potatoes. And the
last time I ever feel, effectually the first and last
time I peeled potatoes. Even hell that you've never peeled
a potato since then? No, no, I mean I I
(02:57):
don't do much cooking. So wait, said the guy who's
most known for a potato possibly on the planet. Hasn't
peeled a potato in thirty years, that's correct, and it's today.
During downtime at the park, Resinhan tinker with various sizes
and types of potatoes. He even tried to draw red
seams on the spud, which was futile because the ink
(03:19):
wouldn't take to the moistness of the peeled potatoes, and
I never really thought that I would ever be faced
with had me to do it. But then the more
we talked about it, the more my teammates really wanted
me to do it. And I do remember telling them,
you know, guys, I may not play the rest of
the season. There was like, I don't know, twelve games,
(03:40):
eleven games left. The guy I was talking was said, hey,
Presley got a double header against the Phillies. Of course,
you know everybody knows catchers usually split the double header.
And I wasn't going to back down from the challenge.
And I went, Okay, I guess that's the day. You know,
that's the potato day. What exact scenario were you looking
(04:03):
for to pull off this potato prank? Well, ideally, I
want to be able to tag the guy, so that
means he's got to come from third, and I had
informed my teammates. I said, look, I'm not going to
do this with the bases loaded. I'll do it with
a guy on third, two outs, and so I would
just throw a potato, hoping in the back of my
mind that that situation wouldn't happen. Presidenthan had a loose
(04:26):
connection to then MLB umpire Timmy Cheetah, and he hoped
Cheetah could help forecast how a potato pickoff would be
handled by the Umps. So we did call him, and
you know, we asked them, you know, because there is
nothing in the rules. I looked it up. There is
nothing in the rules. Wait, there's nothing in the rules
state you can't throw a potato. That's right, yeah, I mean,
you know, it also says you can't shoot on second
(04:48):
base either, But you know, so we did call Timmy,
and you know, Timmy laughed and he said, you know,
if it was in my game and I was the
crew chief, I would probably send the run her back
to third and I would kick out the guy who
threw it. And then I was perfectly fine with that.
But that's not how it happened. April thirty first, the
(05:11):
day of the game between the Affiliates of the Indians
and the Phillies well as a doubleheader, so I thought
it was gonna catch a second game. But I was
in the lineup for the first game, and Mike Pale,
who was starting the first game, was not real thrilled
that the potato game was going to be his game.
I mean, we're all struggling, you know, to just keep
(05:32):
the uniform on, and you wanted to pitch while and
he just didn't want the potato in his game. And then,
of course my teammates are all catching wind of this,
and they're all given bike a ton of ship, saying
what do you mean? And Mike Dale said, if you
know what to find, you just go ahead, and I
don't care, just go ahead and do it. It was
(05:54):
the fourth inning and Bresdihan's team is in the field
trying to hold a two nothing deficit, and or enough,
a guy got the second with one out, and there
was a left handed batter up and uh, I was
calling off speed stuff because I wanted him to get
the ground ball to the right side, and he did,
rounded out the second and runner went from second to third,
(06:15):
so the stage was set. Man out, third, two outs.
President Hand calls time and tells the ump his glove
is broken and he needs to get a replacement. So
in the dugout, I retreat my spare catcher's glove with
the potato in it and jogged back to home play.
Of course, my teammates are all laughing. They're like, well,
I I can't believe this is happening. And then when
I got back to home plate, I had to call
(06:36):
pitch blown away and transfer the potato from my glove
hand to my bare hand, because then I caught the pitch.
So I had the baseball and my glove and had
the peeled potato in my throwing hand, and that's when
I got up and chucked it. I was supposed to
throw it bad over the third baseman's head, but a
potato is not like a baseball, and I ended up
(06:57):
making a really good throw and it was had right
for the back of the base runner, and thankfully he
dove to go back to the bag, and then the
potato ended up right about chest high to my third baseman,
and he kind of alligator armed in our purpose because
he knew not to catch it. And then of course
(07:18):
it rolled out in the field. When the base coach yelled,
go go, go, oh my god, this is gonna work.
Resident tags at the runner and shows the ump the
actual baseball, which he's still holding. But then the home
plan umpire, once he found out it was a potato,
he was upset. And then it was the third base
umpire who retrieved the largest piece and you and he
(07:40):
was from New York aread because he had an accent,
and he was going, it's a fucking potato, and everyone's laughing.
The Phillies were in the third base dugout. They were laughing,
And now all of a sudden people had to make
some hard decisions. The up veers from Timmy Cheetahs predicted ruling.
He didn't kick at presdent hand, but he did allow
the runner to score. And in the box score, I
(08:01):
got an error on the play because they had the
award the run somehow. And you know, we got that
next hit around. We're going to the dugout and I
think it's over. It wasn't over. It was just beginning
all right. Time for a quick break. Perhaps spurred on
by the potato pickoff, Presidahan's team responds, we got a
(08:25):
rally going. I was due up fourth or fifth in
the inning, and Orlando told me he was taking me
out of the game because of the potato. But we
won the game, and you know, and it was it
was all good, at least in my mind, because you know,
it didn't cost us a game. The players retreat to
the locker room to get ready for the second game
of the twin bill. So then you know we're on
(08:47):
the clubhouse just waiting for the second game, and you know,
Orlando had called me into his office. He had this
all serious look in his face and he was saying,
you know, I'm gonna have to find you fifty dollars
and I was kind of expecting that. And then when
I left his office, my teammates asked me what the
fine was, and I told him fifty bucks. And then
(09:08):
they they had all said, hey, everyone chipping two bucks
apiece because there's like twenty five guys on the team
to pay the fine. And it wasn't until the next
morning that they called me to the office and I
had to talk to our minor league director. So I
was very much a realist and I'm ready for the consequences.
(09:29):
When you get called in in the minor league director
talks to you, What does he say to you there?
The first thing that he said to me on the
phone was he was laughing. You know, he wasn't like
all piste off at all. He was laughing. Back then,
in those days, they would get a fact game report
every night. It said something like, my my backup catcher
(09:54):
through a potato, uh, something like that, and he goes.
When I read the game report, I just laughed. My asks,
what the hell are you thinking, David. We can't have
our players throw on vegetables. We gotta let you go.
There's nothing else to talk about. Of course I want
to keep playing baseball, but you know what, it's not
the end of the world. So of course I couldn't
(10:15):
just get released and just leave. Instead of going home,
Resnihan caused a cab to put the finishing touches on
his masterpiece. I thought, you know what, I never did
pay my fine, so I told the cabby, you know,
take take me to the grocery store, and I bought
a bunch of potatoes. Take me back to the ballpark.
(10:39):
So I wanted to get back to the clubhouse empty
by locker, and of course I wanted to pay my fine.
So I had the two bags of potatoes, and I
put a potato in each guy's locker as a memory,
and I took the rest of them, which was at
least fifty potatoes, and I dumped the ball on or
Latto's desk, and then I took out a piece of
(11:08):
paper and I wrote on there, surely you don't expect
me to pay the fine now that you guys released me,
But here's fifty potatoes and uh and literally, Matt, that's it.
I thought it was over. I had no idea what
was in store the next several hours or several days,
and that's when the story really exploded. There was a
(11:31):
local reporter that wrote a quick summary of the game results,
and of course he interviewed Orlando, and Orlando was saying
how unprofessional it was. And a buddy of mine who
worked for the NBC affiliate, he had just called me
and he had read it on the AP wire and
(11:54):
he said, this is a big story. I go, but
you know what, I just got released, and he goes,
oh my god, that makes it even bigger story. Sure enough,
my phone never stopped bringing. Some local radio station got
ahold of me, and I did some voiceovers to come
to the ballpark, bring a dollar, bring a potato. And
then you know, NBC Sports they fly me Atlanta to
(12:18):
New York and I'm on Saturday Game of the Week
with Marve Albert talking about the potato. You know, it's
like a week or so later, they flew me to Chicago.
You know, I'm on leadoff Man with Harry carey, and
it was just the whirlwind. It wasn't just the sports
world that was impressed by bresta hands thinking. There was
(12:42):
some advertising executive with Old WILVIEA Mather. You know, they're
a big advertising firm in Chicago. He had read about
the story and he wanted to meet me, and then
within I don't know, an hour and a half, they
offered me the position Ogilvie and math. They wanted to
offer you a job as what I would be advertising rep.
You know, um, because he what qualifications did you have
(13:04):
as an advertising rap because you tried to throw a potato.
Well it was just funny. So this guy had the
big corner office and he prided himself and finding talent
in different places. He thought, here was a guy that's
outside the box, and he he looks creative. We enjoyed
talking and I obviously handled myself in such a way
(13:25):
that the guy was impressed because he offered me the
job on the spot, but I turned it down. Did
you end up using that outside of the box thinking
in your career, Yes, I've always been very entrepreneurial. I
just kind of chase one deal after the next, you know,
I love to compete to this day, I mean life
(13:47):
stick competition, and today's no difference than it was thirty
some years ago. So my business career has taken me
down several different paths. And how often does the potato
thing get brought up to you? Yeah, it's shocking. People
will look people up, especially if they're gonna engage in
some business, and so people will say, Man, I fucking
(14:09):
can't believe I just read about you and the potato
on Google. And again I take it with a positive feeling.
And if people see the amusement and the humor in it,
that was the intention of any sport. Baseball is known
for having a lot of pranks. What's it like being
known as the guy who was instrumental in the greatest
(14:30):
prank in baseball history. Well, that's very humbling the way
you say it, because I certainly don't look at it
that way, and I wish that I would have made
my mark as a player, not as a guy that
threw the potato. But if this is the consolation price,
then I accepted, all right. A special thanks to Dave
(14:52):
presid Haan for sharing the inner workings of this delightful prank.

You know, I'm on leadoff Man with Harry carey, and
it was just the whirlwind. It wasn't just the sports
world that was impressed by bresta hands thinking. There was
(12:42):
some advertising executive with Old WILVIEA Mather. You know, they're
a big advertising firm in Chicago. He had read about
the story and he wanted to meet me, and then
within I don't know, an hour and a half, they
offered me the position Ogilvie and math. They wanted to
offer you a job as what I would be advertising rep.
You know, um, because he what qualifications did you have
(13:04):
as an advertising rap because you tried to throw a potato.
Well it was just funny. So this guy had the
big corner office and he prided himself and finding talent
in different places. He thought, here was a guy that's
outside the box, and he he looks creative. We enjoyed
talking and I obviously handled myself in such a way
(13:25):
that the guy was impressed because he offered me the
job on the spot, but I turned it down. Did
you end up using that outside of the box thinking
in your career, Yes, I've always been very entrepreneurial. I
just kind of chase one deal after the next, you know,
I love to compete to this day, I mean life
(13:47):
stick competition, and today's no difference than it was thirty
some years ago. So my business career has taken me
down several different paths. And how often does the potato
thing get brought up to you? Yeah, it's shocking. People
will look people up, especially if they're gonna engage in
some business, and so people will say, Man, I fucking
(14:09):
can't believe I just read about you and the potato
on Google. And again I take it with a positive feeling.
And if people see the amusement and the humor in it,
that was the intention of any sport. Baseball is known
for having a lot of pranks. What's it like being
known as the guy who was instrumental in the greatest
(14:30):
prank in baseball history. Well, that's very humbling the way
you say it, because I certainly don't look at it
that way, and I wish that I would have made
my mark as a player, not as a guy that
threw the potato. But if this is the consolation price,
then I accepted, all right. A special thanks to Dave
(14:52):
presid Haan for sharing the inner workings of this delightful prank.
If you or anyone you know has used a root,
vegetable or really any vegetable in a baseball game. I'd
love to hear from you. If you have any tips
for a future episode idea, please email the tip line
