Speaker 1 (00:03):
The Boston Red Sox have a pitcher on their roster
by the name of Hunter Dobbins, and last week when
they were playing the Yankees, he said, if the Yankees
were the last team around that would offer me a contract,
I would retire. Now, there's been plenty of Boston players
that have gone to New York and vice versa. But
(00:24):
Hunter Dobbins was asked, why do you hate the Yankees
so much? And he said, well, when I was younger,
my dad told me that he was drafted twice by
the Yankees, once out of high school and once after college,
and the Yankees ended up trading him to Arizona and
never invited him to spring training or gave him an
opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Earn a roster spot.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And because they basically jilted my dad, I have no
love for them and they're dead to me basically.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I mean so standards. Well, here's the backstory to all
of this.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Lance Dobbins was never drafted by the Yankees once or twice.
Lance Dobbins was never traded to Arizona and never played
for Arizona. Lance Dobbins had a cup of coffee in
the International League, but his entire life He's told his son,
I hate the Yankees because they drafted me and didn't
sign me, And so nobody ever looked Hunter never looked
(01:23):
into the fact that the story that his dad had
all these years was just made up.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean, it wouldn't be the first time.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It wouldn't be the first time that we've had like
made up stories and things like this. Yeah, obviously, I
think the one that I think most of and Shane
is probably thinking the same exact thing. Notre Dame Linebacker
man tyto right, Shane.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, yeah, the fake girlfriend right.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Where she like what was it, Shange, He said like
she tragically passed away or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Said that she had died like months before.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And it turns out that was someone who was running
the account and that she had actually been alive this
whole time and her character quote unquote had died.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So anyway, anyway, the Dobbins family, I guess, isn't really
talking or having a lot of conversations these days because
apparently the story that Hunter was told his entire life
isn't exactly true. Now, I will tell you a story
that is true that has to do with a player
who would never play for the Yankees. And that was
(02:25):
the kid, Ken Griffy Junr. I remember Ken Griffy Senior.
Once his Reds days were over with, he played for
the last few years of his contract with the Yankees,
and it was typical that on most days, especially during
the summer, that the kids, the player's kids, could come
to the ballpark with their dad and watch them hit
(02:46):
batting practice or maybe shag balls or something like that.
That was kind of standard in the in the in
the Yankees organization in the early to mid eighties. And
Ken Griffy Junior was in the dugout with his dad,
just sitting there chilling before a game and a couple
hours before, right before batting practice, and Ken Griffy was
(03:10):
Ken Griffy Senior was sitting there and Junior was not
far off, and the pr guy for the Yankees comes
in the dugout and says, hey, uh, the boss wants
your kid to go back into the stands with his mom.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He can't be down here on the dug out anymore.
That was Steinberner. That was Steinbrenner.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yes, And Ken Senior said, well, when did that change today?
He just decided today that that was going to be
the case. And at the same time, Greg Nettles, who
played third base for the Yankees, is hitting grounders. You know,
he's he's a Yankee lore if it was before your time,
he retired before you were born. But Craig greg Nettles
(03:50):
is taking grounders or hitting grounders to his son out
in the infield. And nobody told Greg Nettles that his
son had to go too. So the Griffy looked at
it as well, either have something that you don't like
about about.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Men Scott, he's not happy. That was from earlier. He's
hitting balls on the range and not happy.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So uh So the Griffy family took that as either,
there's a reason why you don't want my son in
the locker in the in the dugout in the locker room,
but you're okay with everybody else's uh And therefore Ken
Griffy Junior said, I will never play for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And it was at Paul Harvey and now that is
the rest. That's the rest of the story.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
All right, Well, here's what we're interjecting in between our comments.
We got the golf channel up in here, we got
peacock in on here to watch the last few players
come in but Scotty's hitting balls on the driving range
and apparently they're not doing any better than within the
then the balls that he that he hit on the
golf course and he's having a fight with his golf
(04:56):
swing right now, and he did a conversation with his
coach and not really liking where the ball's going.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
He looks like he legit just wants to chuck that club.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, he's he's hitting all.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Kinds of balls and they're not going where he wants
him to go, and he just doesn't feel comfortable with
the golf swing right now.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh I love this, Candy, I love this. This is amazing.
This is so great to walk.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, it just goes to show you that pros are human.
That yes, they're robotic when they play golf and they
hit the shots that you and I can never hit.
But they slap at golf balls and they they throw
temper tantrums when their golf swing isn't working.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, this is hilarious but amazing to watch.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm sure Scotty doesn't know he's on TV during all
this situation.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
So this was from earlier that it was earlier three
thirty or three fifteen, because I think he teed off
a little earlier.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
As soon as the ground was over, he went straight
to the driving range and tried to figure out where
the golf ball is going, because it's not where he's aiming.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I still think at one point he's gonna break that
left a.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
How about Johnny Keefers And they just showed him on
Peacock He's five over par and inside the cut line.
That's the san Antonio san Antonio Johnson's finest, right, come on,
and so Johnny's got a par of Birdie canbogy the
last hole, actually can double the last hole and still
make But let's let's see him get a par here
and be it five over and only eight shots out
(06:26):
of the league going into the weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He's only one behind Scotty at that point. Hey, he
may catch Scotty.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean the way Scott he's doing his practice stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
He made Scott He's like, I don't even know if
I need to keep practicing. Maybe I just need to
go sleep and come back out tomorrow and see if
I can find a gospeling. Yeah, that was glisteners. I
can relate anybody when you see golfers do that.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I've been playing that this stupid game for fifty years
and there are times when you just can't miss. And
guess what He's going to defend his championship next week
at the Travelers And it wouldn't shot me in the least.
He shoots twenty five under next week on that golf
course after struggling this week at Oakmont. But it is
amazing to see how There's two things I take from
(07:08):
this one. Yes, the golf swing is frustrating when you're
basically aiming at you know, tiny things in the fairway,
but it is also shows that they care. There's a
frustration factor because it's supposed to be better than that.
And I like emotion in sports. We don't get mad
when Lebron yells at a fit at a referee. We
(07:30):
don't get mad when when a player, you know, shoves
another player because they didn't like the way that they
got guarded. But when a golfer gets mad, oh he's
got a bad temper. Well, so what it's competition, and
the more you see of that, the more you that
people can relate to you.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, but it's it's good to see and it's funny,
well to me, you know, it's good to see in
funny to see because again, especially when it comes to
Scotti Scheffler, we we just we half heartedly joke.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It's like, yeah, Scotty's just a robot, you know. He
goes out.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
There and swings, wins and it's like, yeah, hi, thank
you very much, you know, onto the next hole, onto
the next course. This is like the most I've ever
seen emotion out of Scottie, which is again just hilarious
to see.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But uh so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I actually may partake a little bit in in in
the US Open tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Any well, I can tell you that a a good
chunk of my Sunday will be in front of TV
watching this, after I do the things I do on
Sunday mornings, which as.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
As well as should on Sunday because Sunday Father's Day,
so happy early Father's Day, and to Shane as well.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Uh but uh, what are you gonna get ties? Socks?
I haven't worn a tie since I went to I
wear a tie twice a year.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You had a tie on, yes, I had shirt on
today you had I did not have a tie, missed, guys,
I miss I'm misremembering absolutely that that was there was
no tie. But yes, I I did have a dress
shirt on which was very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But do the girls get you socks or or anything
like that? Absolutely not. Now you don't. I am a
close knob.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
If he didn't know, no, you wouldn't say so. Uh
if if I don't want it, if I I I
buy what I want.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And that's how that works. Is that shirt you have
on right now, is that a golf golf shirt that
you would wear?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Absolute it's a foot Joy golf shirt. Okay, so they
make good golf shirts.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Basically, Basically Andy has these particular things in his closet.
It's either a golf shirt that he can come into
work or shoot or use on the course or have
you received them yet?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
U t s A related stuff, Nike stuff not yet?
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So that's what's ind Andy's closet. It's those two things.
I got a couple of boxes of the stuff I
gotta get rid of.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But there you go.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
You can always donate, you know, you can donate to
good Will approach.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm going to donate to the people that I know
that want them first, and whenever is left over will
go there.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Hey, the people good will want them as well. Andy,
I'm sure that they will like that.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Patters like I have enough to write off. All right,
one more segment to go. We wrap up this show. Next,
it's the Andy Everage Show. On the ticket
