Speaker 1 (00:05):
Occasionally fans yet a little bit upset or get across
the line with players. No, but players still have to
take the high road. And I've never heard of Dennis Santana,
but he pitches for the Pirates. You don't know who
he is? Yeah, well, they're the Pirates. They're they they
They're they're bad for a reason.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
They should just change the name to the Pittsburgh Olivia Dunns.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
They would probably there's no reason to do that because
Schemes won't be there much longer as soon as he
either gets traded or becomes a free agent. So uh,
they certainly won't keep him for the bulk of his career.
But Dennis Santana got into a guess a word fight
in the beginning. A fan appeared to be wearing a
Tiger's hat and a shirt, and I don't know he was.
(00:54):
The fan was giving Santana the business. Let's just say
that just verbal altercations, and no one has basically reported
exactly what he said, but it was enough for dennist Santana.
He couldn't reach him because at and where the game
was at the hinz on Our P and C Park,
(01:15):
the fans can look into the bullpen. Those are sitting
in the bleachers can look straight down into the bullpens.
And he was given Santana a hard time, and Santana
was trying to jump up to the front row and
slap him or punch him or hit him. And there's
video of him trying to swing at him, but he's
not even getting close to the guy. I mean, the
wall is twelve feet high and he's jumping up to
(01:37):
maybe ten feet and the fans still on top of
the wall. So fans often get drunk across the line.
But no matter what they say, I don't think it's
in the best interest of any baseball player to take
it that far. That's when you call security and go
that guy, he's out of here.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, And you know, Dennis Santana said a few things
as far as like quote that he had crossed the line.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
He also went on to say that quote, you guys
know me. I'm a calm demeanor type of person, and
I've never had any issues for any of the other
teams I've played for. This guy crossed the line a
few times. And he also went on to say, like
I said, he crossed the line, and I'd like to
leave it at that end quote so and he Santana
(02:24):
didn't necessarily didn't complain about how the security offers handled
the issue as well, went on to say, Hey, my
job is a pitcher and not as a security so
I can't discuss their job. I respect what they do,
but I know, I know we get into this mindset
of well, they're professional athlete, they need to know better.
(02:48):
But he's still whether it's a male or female, you're
still a human being and at some point you are
going to crack. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
if you're Kobe or MJ. If somebody says something to
you long enough or says, you know, involves family or
(03:09):
something like that, you're gonna crack. That's just the that's
just being human. That's the unfortunate part. But that's just
being human. But again, like you said, that doesn't give
We see this happen way too many times where fans
think that because that they're there, that they have the
right or entitled to do or say whatever they want
(03:30):
because they have paid to be there.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Also, in baseball, today, the Chicago Cubs welcome back Sammy
Sosa to Wrigley Field for the first time. In twenty years.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So Sammy was up in one of the luxury suites
at Wrigley Field and waved his hat to the crowd
as he was being introduced. It's the first time he's
been back there. Obviously, Sosa has been linked to the
steroid issue, never tested for it or never tested posie
for it, but everybody assumes that he was joining the
ped race back in the day with Martin McGuire, and
(04:05):
while they saved baseball in the short term, they certainly
stained it. With all the allegations of ped us. I'm
still of the opinion that that was just a bad
era of baseball. And I think the ped guys I
don't have an issue with them getting into the Hall
of Fame or getting accolades or being welcome back to
(04:25):
the league. They haven't been officially kicked out of baseball,
but Clemens and Bonds have never been voted into baseball.
And if you look at Barry Bonds's numbers before he
allegedly started taking steroids, if he'd quit the year before
in two thousand and two, he was still a Hall
of Famer because he was in the league from eighty
six to nine or ten, whatever it was, but Barry
(04:48):
Bonds's numbers up until just the year two thousand were spectacular.
And Barry Bonds was never a good human being and
didn't treat people very well, but his numbers deserved to
begin the Hall of Fame. And Roger Clemens was in
a very similar vote because he always lived life on
the edge and especially around people. He didn't necessarily he
(05:10):
thought a lot of people were beneath him, and he
didn't cater to any media guys who hold their votes
in his hands. I read the other day where it's
Alex Rodriguez is probably the saddest of the stories, because
a Rod knows his career is Hall of Fame worthy,
but because he got popped twice for steroids, he's not
(05:31):
getting in. And while he did it so that he
could play longer, he's most disappointed that he can't get
into the Hall of Fame and may never get in,
and it may take a Veterans Committee vote after he's
long gone to get in. But a Rod's a baseball junkie.
A Rod loved baseball. Now. I can remember a Rod
when he was the first year in the minor leagues
(05:55):
back I think it was nineteen ninety three when we
opened the Alamodome, we had some kind of an international
competition of games here. I'm trying to remember what what
we go like the Olympic Festival. It was the US
Olympic Festival and it was in San Antonio, and we
had you know, they have basically all kinds of Olympic sports,
but they had basketball and they had baseball as well.
(06:17):
And a Rod was a name to the US Olympic
team about the same time he was drafted by Seattle
and he refused to play for the team here, so
nobody ever got to see him play in his last
year as an amateur before he went onto Seattle.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Your brain is amazing, by the way, Well ninety three,
you're right, yeah, yeah, I remember stuff. Olympic Festival.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I remember too many things that I wish I didn't remember,
But I do remember a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You remember last year's Red River that was a great
thing to work.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I've tried to put that one behind me. All right,
Well we got here. Oh yeah, we need to go
to the next segment. You know, we're going to talk
about nil and poaching players. That's next. It's the Indy
Everage show. On the ticket
