Speaker 2 (02:09):
If you want to hear why there's something wrong with
Rich perhaps, yeah, take a listen for sure, something wrong
with this guy? So I'm Cavino, that is Rich and
we do this every Thursday, old school when fifty hits.
According to Iowa Sam's math, one hundred and seventy nine
years ago. Rich baseball was invented today, eighteen forty six
(02:31):
on this day. So it got us thinking about the
most important moments to you in baseball history. And there's
historical moments like I'll give you an example that might
not be one for me. Look, it's been around one
hundred and eighty years almost, But let's say in Seattle,
Dan Byer could correct me, Well, he's not a he's
(02:52):
a Seattle Seahawks fan, not a Mariners fan. But in Seattle,
Rich they often say if they didn't win in ninety five,
they wouldn't have safe co field, right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, they say if King Griffey Junior didn't show up
in the playoffs that they wouldn't have kept that team
in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Maybe getting Junior save baseball in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, maybe just getting him period, was that significant moment
for your squad? Right, Perhaps it was Jay Buner. I
don't know, it depends on you asked. But if they
didn't win in ninety five at the Yankees expense, baseball
might not exist there anymore. So that's a historical moment
in Seattle history. And I'll give an obvious one. I
got to get it out of the way. Jackie Robinson
(03:32):
breaking the color barrier has to be one of the
most important things to ever happen in baseball, not only
for baseball, just for you know, the world that we
live in today. So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
It doesn't have to be of historical significance. It could
be something like Ridge said, the Mets winning eighty six.
Maybe your first baseball game, Yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever it
(03:54):
means to you.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I remember my first baseball game. My mother likes to
remind me that I should be hard on my kids
if they like want to leave a game, because you know,
I'm a diehard baseball fan, and my mom would always
tell me that at the games, when everyone else is
cheering let's go Mets, I was cheering let's go home.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You're a little kid. You know, you don't want to
know he's sitting there in the heat.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But you know what, I watched a documentary recently, so
I got to shout out my pal, al you know, Albert,
give me know my buddy al Al Spalding. I think
this is a big moment in sports history that could
go under the radar. Obviously ended up making balls for
a variety of sports the NBA, But it was back
in the late eighteen hundreds that Spalding was the guy
(04:37):
that got every little baseball league in town to use
the same baseball. I don't know if people know this
before that it was almost like houseball, you know when
you played whiffleball as a kid, where it was like
neighborhood rules. It was neighborhood rules in real baseball, Like
some balls were tighter, some balls are bigger, smaller.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Spalding was the guy that made Yeah, but was.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This Spalding also the guy that made the glow like
an acceptable thing because he was so good. Anyone that
wore a glove was made fun of, like you big wimp,
you wear a glove? What a weenie? You know, we
play bare handed. But because he was so good and
people respected him so much, it made it okay.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Isn't that the back something like that?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
That was the original baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
They started out as gloves and then the fingers on
the gloves just started getting bigger and bigger, like Mickey mouse,
and then who decided to tie all the fingers of
the gloves together. See like I'm bringing the fun facts today.
You might have heard of them, the Rawlings Brothers. So
I mean, think of all the gloves you had as
a kid. It was the Rawlings Brothers that said, let's
make a pocket to the glove and connect the fingers.
And you could go nerdy old school like that, or
(05:39):
simply just say, hey, Freddie Freeman last year is my
favorite moment.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, these are all important moments in baseball history,
but everybody has the ones that stand out to them.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dan Byer, do you have one?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Well, I was just gonna say, just on the heels
of what rich was talking about, Like a house, baseball
ends up becoming uniformed. But isn't that what makes baseball
so great? With these states wams where every NFL field
is the same, every NBA courts by and large is
the same with the same dimensions, paintings and otherwise are different.
But isn't that what makes the green Monster awesome? Or
(06:14):
you know the right field hole in Fenway Park, Yeah,
you know the warehouse in Baltimore, like all those things
like that's something that I find great I also love
this chatter. Come on, kid, come on now, come on,
come on, yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Baseball chatter, Yes, I love it. Sounds of the game absolutely,
you know.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Maybe don't get it at a at a big league ballpark,
but you go to any legion tournament or high school,
you always have chatter.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Hey, Dann Bayer, Yes, good eye, good good.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't take your pitts.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Kid.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Come on now, come on, come on kid.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
How about now you've seen them, you're hacking.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I turned southern. By the way, I don't know if
you can tell, but when I did my chatter, it's
like I just you know, was born in Alabama, DV.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
The other I was gonna say, rich the other sounds
of the game when we were little kids at the
stadiums uh, the announcers on transistor radios, you won't hear
that anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
No doubt. Man. And and by the.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Way, especially being Scully here in La.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
dB, speaking of the old school chatter cave, you know,
and I always joke about how, you know, when I
know they still sell them, maybe like the old timers
buy them, but the guy that sells things that stadiums
still talk like they're from the nineteen.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Twenties gets a program. He had program Peanuts, popcorn program.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Ye, old school.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's the cool part about baseball, Yeah, because it goes
so far back.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
There's so much history. So again the bam nice to you.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
I don't dip, but if I was playing first base,
I'd have my tongue in my bottom lip, you know,
right doing that chatter right the best?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
All right, so we get you involved at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. There's so much history when
it comes to baseball, and aside from Rob Parker's love
of baseball, here on Fox Sports Radio, we're one of
the only shows that really loved talking about baseball all
because right now I got my baseball, still love baseball.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I got one.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Let's say, coming up in the lineup was a Cavino
Bayer Danny g That sounds like hits.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That sounds like here, it sounds like sounds like some ruds.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I love baseball chatter too. That's a good point, Dan,
But if baseball chatter is the best sports.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Chatter, you remember the first time you heard ducks in
a pond. They're like, oh, okay, ducks in a pond.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, Oh we want to picture. Not a belly itcher.
Oh we want to catcher, not a belly scratcher. Oh
we want to catcher. Not by the way, the kids
a really fun creative one.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Pictu pitcher gets up, you know when when pictures would
hit and literal lygue itself like got runners on base Yo,
help yourself, help yourself?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh so good.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mentioned Jackie Robinson, So I'm gonna get another one
out of the way. As uh as a half Fato
local myself got to give props to the great Roberto
Clemente again being the first Hispanic player of Puerto Rican
descent to play professional baseball in nineteen fifty five. These
are all major moments that opened up the game to
(09:08):
where it is today.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right, So again I have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
To point that out, but it doesn't have to be
that historical because me personally, I remember the nineteen ninety
six World Series, right, the Yankees were down, dude down,
the Braves were dominant, and then Jim Laretz hits this
magical home run and turns the whole series around and
(09:32):
the Yankees win that series and that sort of started
that dynasty for the New York Yankees. If you guys
remember that was like a clear memory because before that
was a little kid. When they won in ninety six,
when that turnaround happened with Jim Larretz's home run, the
Yankees never looked back. They win the World Series, yet
a stumble in ninety seven, but then they go on
(09:52):
that major run. Dude, and looking back, I think we're
far enough removed to look back and say what they
did was insane. Yeah, that dynasty the Yankees had, winning
three in a row.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's unheard of.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Baseball's the hardest sport to repeat, and they did three
in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
So Larret's he's in trouble, right, he's a yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I'm not saying he's the best, dude. I'm saying
he turned that whole series around.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So let's hear that. Can you know said Jim Larretz
is his hero.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's not what I said. I'm saying that whole turnaround
when they were looking like they didn't have a chance
against the Atlanta Braves. So moments important moments to you
that made baseball is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Danny G. What's yours?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
How about Hank Aaron's historic seven hundred and fifteenth home run.
Now we weren't around, but we famously. See the clip
over and over of those two fans running out to
pat him on his back in their seventies duds.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You know what's so cool about that?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
As he was getting so much flack about breaking the
Babes record, right, like no one wanted him to be
the guy, and racial barriers and things like that ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And see these two.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Goofy white dudes the leather chack like seventy bellbyllers, big
college seventies dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That is one of the most classic clips for sure.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I haven't seen it in a minute, but I love
that clip. So the ones that stand out to you.
Let's go to the phone to get everybody involved. Where
do you want to start?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Let's start with Baker in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Baker in Illinois. You're on the Cavino and Rich Show,
the anniversary of Baseball.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Hey man, what's up? So it's kind of a not
a moment, but uh so I'll try and make it quick.
I grew up listening to Braves games on my radio,
and so I was a fan, and then the Yankees
knocked him out of the World Series, so I decided
(11:49):
I hate the Yankees, and then I jumped on the
bag bandwagon right at the right time in O three
and then the Yankee he knocked the Red Sox out
four they won.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
And that was dude.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, for any Red Sox fan or Yankee hater, four
was insane because it goes back to the curse of
the Babe when they dished him after nineteen eighteen. Right, So,
and that's another question itself. Would baseball be the same?
Rich baseball would still exist, but would it be the
same if Babe Ruth wasn't traded to the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I mean, would the NBA be what it was if
it wasn't for the Magic Johnson Larry Bird feud and
Michael Jordan coming And you can say that about most stems,
I think Babe, you know it was was super important
back then. He was larger than life. He was a
circus act. People would go see him to just.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Hit the ball.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
What could argue, Yeah, he could argue though. He might
be the most important figure in baseball to make it
what it is today, no doubt. So thank you man.
Uh yeah, two thousand and four. Major impact for anybody
in the New England area too. How about all those
(13:04):
old people that never sawt the saw their team win,
and you're just happy for Grandpa that you got to
see something. Scott and Missouri Important moments in baseball.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
November November second, twenty sixteen, Cubs win the World Series.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
I mean, growing up because staying in Chicago, I moved
to Springdale, Missouri, right in the middle.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
Of Cardinal Country.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
I could take a crap for years, and finally the
Cubs get it.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
They win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know, I always wonder if the Cubs fan had
a hangover after that, meaning like not from drinking, Like
like now what, because I there's that. There was such
a lovable charm about the Cubs. You finally win one,
and then I wonder, like, what does that feel like that?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There were so many great stories similar to the four
Red Sox. You waited your whole life to see that.
The story of David Ross was big too. Remember he
got carried off the field his majesticy home run. That
was huge for Chicago and we all got to witness
that absolutely in our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
One of the greatest moments for sure. Thank you man.
Rob in Pennsylvania, you're on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Hey guys, I love you and love your show.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Thanks man.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
Thanks the guy just stole my thunder was the Cubs
winning the World Series one hundred and eight years And
something cool was a baseball has one hundred and eight threats,
so he couldn't have matched up anything better.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You know that's cool.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And you know what you think too about like Steve
Bartman and all the stupid things that happened and the
Port Cubs, and you know, it's it's funny.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Dan Bier brought up a great point and Cavi, you know,
I know you found the chatter some young some young
kid on social media that's learning baseball and he's like, yo,
when was someone gonna tell me all the stadiums were different?
And to me, there there's such a charm about that's why,
well people do want to go see different basketball games
and football games. Why do you think everyone wants to
go see every Major League baseball stadium because they're all different.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
You go to Milwaukee, they got the slide in left field.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You go see the an Astros game and they got
the train in left field, or remember they used to
have that little center field little thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You go to Yankee Stadium, it's Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Every you go to Wrigley Field, you see the ivy
on the wall. It's there's something so special about each stadium,
the dimensions, the grass, everything. And by the way, we've
been to MLB experiences where I know Dan Byer enjoys
this conversation.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
They showed all the different types of grass at all
the stadiums, like in his precision, like the different types
of strains of grass that all the different stadiums use.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
That's another another thing.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's why I think golf appeals to me so much,
aside from just the sheer frustration of it, but it's
such a gorgeous setting in Major League Baseball with that
lush green field. If you have certain stuff mode absolutely
in San Francisco, this is kind of funny. I don't
know if anybody remembers this. The San Francisco Giants before, well,
(15:58):
they changed it. They used to have the old Navy
like splash landing area, right, But do you guys know
the story of Rusty, the fourteen foot mechanical mascot that
would come out if they hit a home run into
the splash landing.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You gotta look this up. Because it was such a
failure they got rid of it. But it was this
fourteen foot mechanical baseball dude that would come gliding out,
tipping his hat out to the to the audience, and
everyone hated it so much that they eventually got rid
of it. But the railway that he would the track
that he would move on, is still there underneath that
(16:35):
splash landing at It's Oracle right at Oracle pack Bell Park,
whatever the heck it is. But look up the legend
of Rusty and it might trigger some memories because that
story's wild Rusty again. It goes with the signature look
that every stadium has, which is why we like these ballparks.
You're right, I love that originality that every city brings
(16:55):
to the game.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Oh my god, this is so weird.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh honestly, I think it's kind of But it got
such backlash and people were scared of it. Kids hated it,
and everyone's like the socks. They got rid of Rusty.
I think it lasted like one season.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, cou let me ask you, can you think of
I have one that's on my mind. Can you think
of something else that was so terrible they got rid
of it in the stadium?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, the flagpole in Houston. No, that was the weakest.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do you remember that, like like really gross statue in Florida.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, in Miami with the Flamingos, they had some artistic
to something going on in the field.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Ciel.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, But you know, the signature look is I think
a part of the game that we all cherish, and
I think that's part of why we love it. Mike,
who runs this place, who's also getting ready for our
big Vegas adventure. He's bringing a bunch of prizes down
there for us, he says. Kirk Gibson's home run was
the historical moment for him. He said, you know, he
always admired the Lou Garrick speech too and what that
(17:57):
meant for baseball. But Gibson's home run was just a
classic moment for him. Back to your phone calls on
the anniversary of baseball invented on this day, eighteen forty six,
what were some of the most important historical moments in
the game or maybe just you personally, Tom and Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You're on the show.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
Hey guys, you know, I'm a Braves fan since the
early seventies. I was eight years old when I hit
the home run. But that's not it. I've seen him
win the World Series in ninety five, in twenty twenty one,
but that's not it. The powder Blue Braves, the disgusting
Braves of the late seventies and eighties. It couldn't win anything.
And then Sid Bream in nineteen ninety one beats the
(18:40):
throw from the greatest player in the game at the time,
Barry Bonds. Braves win, Braves, win, Braves, win from worse
to first. That to me was the moment that I'll
always cherish.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I love that, and I love the excitement in your voice.
I love the story.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And then my mind starts to trail off because baseball
means a lot to all of us, right, we all
grew up loving it. And it gets me thinking this
would be a controversial one, Rich, but you don't think
the steroid era, for as bad as it was for baseball,
brought so much excitement for baseball. Like Sosa and McGuire
gut punched each other.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Also, that summer was unforgettable.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Dude, Am I right?
Speaker 7 (19:17):
That any any network channel they would break into, they
would break out of whatever they were covering at the time,
whether it was the news or whatever was going on,
and they would show the at bat for McGuire or so.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So that's why it's so hypocritical to hold it against
these players, because everybody was pumped about it. And if
you were a little kid, like I wasn't a little kid,
but if you I was in college in the mid nineties,
late nineties. I graduated college in ninety eight. So if
you're a little kid and you're watching Sosa and McGuire
(19:48):
and guys like Rafael Paul Merrow just slugging away, hitting
bombs all the time, you don't think that was important
in their life and reeled them into the game. Like, yeah,
I get it detrimental to stats, to the game and
the reputation, but if that's what pulled you in and
you've been a lifelong fan since.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Was it really that bad?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't know, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I thought of a couple other fun ones. Nolan Ryan
Robin Ventura historical moment for sure, just like one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Of those, like those are the fun moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's like, uh, yeah, it's definitely a moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know remember how important it was.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, I mean if it's well, I mean you can
also throw like Don Zimmer and Pedro. That fight was
legendary and just added to the Yankees Red Sox feud.
There's just all these memorable moments, Mike Piazza and Clemens
throwing the bat at him.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
There's so many will say magical moments. Mike Piazza bringing
life back to normal after nine to eleven with that
bomb he hit. That was a majistic moment.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I think about some of the manias, like Doc goodin
coming to the league, and of course Fernando Mania in
Southern California kind of healed what had happened with Chavez,
Ravine and Mexican Americans being moved out of there for
the stadium to be built, and a lot of them
didn't embrace the team until Fernando and all of that happened.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For you know what Fernando Venezuela and what he meant
to the Latino community embracing baseball. You're right in Mexicans
embracing the Dodgers. Dude, that's insane the impact that he
had in this city with the Dodgers so important moments too.
Back to the calls.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Do you remember Cavino when you were kid, you told
me you went to a game. Were you on the
West Coast. You went to an Angels game and you
were there when Reggie Jackson tried to kill the queen.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It was wild, dude.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank god for Lieutenant Fred Rebin Right. I was a
historical moment.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Thanks Frank, Jamie and Georgia. You're on the Cavino and
Rich Show.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Historical or Alma thunder just a second ago from Florida.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
But it was Sid Range slide. But it was nineteen
ninety two.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Oh yeah, seven the year.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Oh really, okay, Jamie cleaning up his work. You know
how a Braves fans coming.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I love going thro these phone calls because in my
mind and I start thinking of other stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
When you think about Sid, you would think about sidbreams mustache.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No, No, I'm thinking about like, there's other moments that maybe
not that historical. But we're seeing Buster Posey, you know,
on the big stage press conferences, talking about Raphael Devers
and everything. Him getting mode over changed the game period
as we know it, you know what I mean. So
it's like, maybe not that historical, being that we've been
(22:28):
watching baseball one hundred and eighty years, but what happened
to him changed the game as we know it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I always think about that with your your Yankee pitcher,
Joba Chamberlain. I remember him being the first pitcher that
had a pitch count because he was coming off an
injury job.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I felt like, yeah, yeah, the Joba rules.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And ever since that, I feel like that opened the
floodgates to every pitching coach putting counts on their pitch Jaba.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Rules, Joba Chamberain, significant buster posey, you know, barreling down catchers.
That changed everything historical moment. These are things that we
were able to witness in our lifetime, which makes I'm
actually a little cooler. Uh, Tom and Ioway, you're on
the Coveno on Rich show.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
Hey, yeah, this is Tom.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
When I was a teenager, we got to say into
Saint Louis to watch a game, and I'm a keV fan,
so I loved it.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Again.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
See Dave Dinglan hit a grand slam off the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That is pretty good, Dave.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
Kingman and he almost hit it out of the stadium.
I said it was three and two first Stanning Bass
I said, they throw him a fastball, and they did,
But of course, my favorite time was one of the
Kevi's Wonder World series. But see and Kingman hit. That
was before the Stator. He was he was King Kong
when they called him.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You know, yeah, that guy hit like I only saw highlights.
I was a little too young for Kingman, but he
was a met when I was like a baby. Kingman
was known to hit like moonshots like I don't know
if anyone else is synonymous as far as homerun hitters
that would just hit like rocket high bombs.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
So we got a lot of people on standby. We'll
do what we call rapid fire crossfire. You'll get caught
up in the crossfire when we return, and we'll get
your phone calls real quick. And we got to talk rings.
Do they matter or not? Because we got conflicting stories going.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
On here, and there's a Cowboys story about the cheerleaders
that I think is into Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Don't over promise, man, We do have more. Covino and
Rich next on Fox Sports Radio Baseball Baseball Covino and
Rich crceeve of our big convention in Vegas is tomorrow.
(24:34):
We'll bring it to you live poolside from the circa
here on Fox Sports Radio right out live from a
Fox Sports radio studio. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has helped has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation ti raq dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We're gonna wrap up this baseball talk with four more
phone call, So, Hank tight eight seven seven ninety nine
O five baseball invented on this day eighteen forty six,
and it's old school and fifty hits. So the most
important moments in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And to you, like rich on this day.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Right, the fact that they came up with and they
always say it in a Ken Burns documentary or when
people are talking about the magic of baseball, just how
perfect sixty feet six inches is, right, Like that makes
it so great, ninety feet from the distance, the distances,
like if it's a routine ground ball, you'll get him out.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
He'll never beat out a routine ground ball, however, if
you bobble the ball a little.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Bit safe, right, Like, all these things were so important
to the game as we know it now. Perfection and
you mentioned sho hail Tani. The impact that we're going
to look back on is insane. It's immense when you
think about how global he's made the game feel like
it's always been there. We talked about Clemente's and when
(25:58):
he's meant to Latino players and banning players all over
the globe, but the international feel that baseball is really
bringing with Showhay and maybe even the decision rich of
World Baseball Classic. One day we might look back and
be like, that was a historical moment because look how
big the game is now internationally.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Of course, right and by the way, as we talk
about baseball in our favorite moments, and you know, doing
a little reminiscing the other day, I think it was
yesterday was National Mascot Day, and I gotta say baseball
probably has the best mascots, right, Philly Fanatic. I hate
to say it because I love to hate on Philly,
but the fanatic mister Met, mister Red.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
By the way, doesn't he look like mister Mets creepy uncle.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, I think he is. He's got the mustache, yeah,
I think.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You know, Colorado the Dinosaur Digger. They got all these
cool mascots throughout the league. So baseball is bringing it
as it did one hundred and seventy nine years ago.
And again the evolution, like you said, Cavino, guys were
they were like you, you gotta be tough. No helmets,
no gloves, nothing, and now like five year old kids
have sliding gloves exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. The
most important important moments in baseball, Uh, Tony in Virginia
you're on.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I think President Bush throwing out that first pitch at
Yankee Stadium in World Ferries right after ninety eleven.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I think that galvanized dude.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
That was imagic, bitch man.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It was definitely the best and most impactful. And then
I'd put the Queen when she threw the screwball, screwball,
the Queen of right underneath it. But yeah, that was
an awesome moment.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
He brings up a great.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Point that made the I know it sounds ridiculous because
it's just a pitch, but it made America feel strong.
And imagine if George W. Bush would have threw like
a Baba booie first pitch in that moment.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
No, and I love no, but remember the story goes
Jeeter tells him like, don't bounce it, Like, I love
that story and that was told by George Bush, Like
that really happened. It's a great call, it's a great story.
It's a great moment for sure. Let's talk to Pierce
in Albany. Pierce, you're on the show.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
All right, Well, isn't throwing out the nine to eleven
one kind of trump's me there? But I got to
say as a Mets fan, and you already talked to
Mike Piazza also saving America post nine to eleven. Yeah,
but the Robin Venture a Grand Slam single, that was
a cool moment.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
That was a cool moment, absolutely, And you know, like
if you're a little kid watching too in that moment,
that could have changed your life. That's the other thing
about it, Like we've seen a lot of great moments
at this stage, but for kids too, they stand out.
McKinny in Ohio, what's up, Danny?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
I was just gonna say, I was thinking of some
of the records that we've seen broken and I was
in the Bay Area in nineteen ninety one. How about
Ricky Henderson holding the bag over his head.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
That we just saw in fifty to fifty. It's never
been done.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
It just dawned on me recently. I forgot.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I honestly, I forgot that we lost Ricky like it's
it's crazy to think he's gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Uh McKinnie and Ohio, Oh dB, what's up buddy?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Just along those same lines, remember when that guy from
Fresnel called in and started started the Reggie Jackson chant
at the A's game.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Do you remember.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That that great moments?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is that brother?
Speaker 7 (29:10):
I don't think my brother started the chant that claimed
that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
He started.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's right, man, historical moment. Thank you, Dan, McKinnie and Ohio.
You're on the Cavino and Rich show man.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You know what.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
I love you, guys.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Show man.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
I don't think I would like it at first, but man,
I don't. I don't miss you.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now I'm watching the two new Bald Eagles fish in
the in the Great Miami River while I'm walking with
my dog listening to you guys. My favorite, my favorite
baseball moment I had to do with Crosley Field and
their Floatt outfield. I love that the Pete Rose thing
(30:00):
with him in the nineteen seventy six World Series Parade.
I know you guys east coast, West coast, but in
the Midwest maybe that's where it's at.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hey, dude, a lot of people haven't experienced the World
Series parade, but once you do, and if you do
it the right time in your life, that's magical, man,
and you'll never forget it. My first one was that
I was able to go to as an adult quote
unquote adult was in ninety six, and I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
A lot of the eighty six Mets never experienced a parade.
Cocaine exactly exactly. Hey, I want to thank you all
for your phone calls. Hit us up at Covino and
Rich we got to get to Dan Byer with an update.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
I do want to say baseball as well, and it
feels like it was in our era, but it's been forever.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
We're cheating was not.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Only allowed, but it was captured of, whether it be
corked bats, whether it be you know, many rubber balls
in baseball bats, whether it be fingernail files like all
of that. Like it's you don't see anybody nobody gets
busted in the NBA for cheating, right, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I mean, I always picture it was which necro brother
had the file in his back pocket he threw it out,
remember that.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah, yeah, gosh, it was one of them, and I've forgot.
I don't want to accuse the other of doing it.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But I think it was filmed. But again, it could
be joking and then.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All this oh oh this my fingernail file, all this
whole thing.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
There is some history made today in Major League Baseball
in Texas.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It's your two pitch.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Cagleion hits it high in the air, deep right center field, Adolescarcias.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
At the wall.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
It's gone, watch it fly.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Jack cagleon his first pig league home run.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Maybe you get moments like that in the NFL, like
first touchdown pass or first touchdown catch, but you don't
get that necessarily in the NBA. Yes, yes, he had
another one later. Royal sweep the Rangers today buy a
score of four to one on the Royals radio network.
Yankees top the Angel seven to three. Is the Pinstripes
stop their six game slide. Nationals needed eleven to beat
(32:03):
the Rockies four to three. Cardinals over the White Sox
five to four. They're just underway in the fourth inning
in game two of their double edder Saint Louis up
four to one in that one. Tigers took game one
of a doubleheader against the Pirates nine to two. Now
Pittsburgh leads three to nothing in game two and the
third Brewers over the Cubs eight seven. Diamondbacks beat the
Blue Jays by a score of nine to five.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Twins.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Earlier today were victors against the Reds by a score
of twelve to five in a game that just went
a final and it disappeared from my screen. Giants beat
the Guardians by a score of two to one. Tonight
is game six of the NBA Finals. Thunder and Pacers
eight thirty Eastern Time. Thunder up three to two. Tyrese
Haliburton expected to start for Indiana. According to ESPN, Scotti
Scheffler leads the Travelers at eight under par, tied for
(32:44):
the lead with Austin Neckrot, Rory McElroy's two back, jordan' speath.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Withdrew because of an injury.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
And I just want to congratulate you guys on your
twenty years. I will not be in Vegas with you,
but I will be here tomorrow. I'll be on the
show but I know it's going to be crazy, But
congratulations on your next two decades of radio partnership and success.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You believe that that's one hundred and twenty years in
radio years.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
I have not had one person ask me, are you
going to Vegas? And I don't know if it's they
don't want me to go or they just knew that
it probably was never going to happen. But that one
person questioned to me and saying, are you going to
be making it? And I just so you know, let
me give you an honest response there too. And I
do this a lot. I don't like putting pressure on people.
I just don't, you know. So for me personally, it's like, hey,
(33:28):
everybody's invited. I don't like the pressure people.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
My assumption is that you have a little son and
when we're away, you're you're you're the number one guy.
They have always filling in and doing all the shows
around Fox Sports, and one of our coworkers has a
wedding on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
I just thought it's a busy week.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Even to me to make it about me, right to no, no,
thank you, thank you, Dan. Yeah, we couldn't do this
without you, so we appreciate it. Thank you, Dan Byer,
Thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation. The rest of your
feedback at Covino and Rich start thinking about rings?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Do they matter?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Or do they There's two conflicting stories from two teammates.
How does that even make sense? We'll let you know
right here on Fox Sports Radio Vegas, Baby Vegas, You're

Gonna rock your Travis Matthew golf shirt at Atomic Golf?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
You know I just might Rich, Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
Definitely rocking on Travis Matthew for sure, Thank you, Travismatthew
dot com. Rich, tell me why before we talk about
rings and the importance of rings, do they matter or not?
Conflicting stories? Why do you say watches don't matter anymore?
What was that article you saw?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
No, I know you didn't read it, but I know
you saw it.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, I don't read it was a headline, I'm sure,
So yeah, come.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
On, just that we all rock Apple watches. It's now
the new default. Smart watches and fitness watches have taken
the place of that middle tier watch.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
So unless you're a.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Guy that's into brightlings and Rolexes and like top tier tags,
and unless that's your style and you want to be
the guy that likes watches, they're saying, you know, perhaps
there's a new mindset that well, it's either ten.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Thousand dollars watch or Apple watch.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Like the idea of a three hundred dollars watch doesn't
do anything for anyone anymore.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I think it's always going to be a status symbol.
I love me me personally again, but maybe I'm I
don't want to say older because I don't feel old
at all, but I still appreciate.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
A nice, beautiful Rolex or a nice.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
You like boxing and baseball. I mean, you might as
well be a nine year old white guy, but I
think you nail that though.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I think the Apple Watch may be replaced that like
Cassio level of watch, like for your everyday watch. But
if you're going out and you're trying to make a statement,
that's the piece you need, that sweetccess. It's more of
an accessory like a talking piece as maybe much as
it is a time piece nowadays.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
But well that's the update on.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Maybe if you see me this weekend with a sweet Watch,
that means I hit the tables pretty good early on nice.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, it's Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio our
big convention eve CRCE eve and if everything goes great, hey,
we'll continue to take the show on the road and
we hope to meet you and see you soon. The
most interactive show on radio. Now, do rings matter or not?
That when you ask your rings matter or not? Historically
(36:49):
people say that's how you remember your championships, your rings.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
And just the other day Lebron we talked about it.
He's like, Yo, rings don't matter, and we goofed on
him a little bit. But a day later, get sold,
and the first thing Lucas says his teammate, The first
thing he says is all right, sweet, this is great. Now,
let's go win some rings.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
He says, he's super pumped about the Lakers sale, and
let's go win some rings now. So it's like his
own teammate. You have conflicting views on the importance of
rings on the team. It's so weird to see this conflict.
And on the same day, Rich Yeah, Danny g. Sam
Kelsey is quoted today that he's only interested in Super
(37:31):
Bowl rings, like his whole purpose in coming back is
winning a ring. He wants number four because that solidifies
your legacy in a game of wins and losses and championship.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
Feels like two different thoughts, though, because Lebron was pointing
out that there's some NBA players that he really respects
and thinks are greats and legends despite the fact they
never want a ring. I don't think he's gonna be
saying I don't care what happens this season. Hopefully he's
still gonna be saying it's the same thing Luca just said,
let's go win one.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm not ever gonna deny the heart of a Lebron James,
Who am I some JABRONI in the studio talking about him?
I get it, I'm a fan, but it doesn't make sense.
It just doesn't. It just caters to his current narrative
because he's not gonna have as many rings as Jordan
most likely, so he's trying to downplay the importance. That's
(38:23):
honestly what I take out of it. Yeah, you can
still be a really great player without one, but you're
not held in that same company. And Charles Barkley's always
that example, or Dan Reno's always the same People like
really great players. But greatness is also measured in how
many championships you won, so I think it always matters.
So on the very next day, that's what's ironic about it,
(38:44):
where Luca gets the news that the team was sold
in it is valued at ten million dollars or whatever.
I'm pumped, let's go win some rings. That just sounds
so odd. So do they matter or not? They absolutely matter?
Is there any debate? Sure, you could be great, but
even greater with a ring. I mean there's no question
(39:05):
that they matter. But in what context? You have to
point out what Lebron was saying now I get you,
and some other people are gonna say, well, this is
just because of the Michael Jordan factor, But if you
really listen to what he was saying, I think you
kind of get the drift, you know what I mean,
I get it. I get what you're saying too. So
it's just ironic that the very next day Lucas said
(39:26):
the exact operation.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
And we said on the show yesterday with the new
Guggenheimen group coming in that they're not really gonna be
in place around Lebron. He's probably gonna be out of there.
They're gonna be building around Luca.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And speaking of watches and rings, I always had this
theory that if you were ever gonna buy an engagement ring,
your fiance should buy you a sweet watch. What do
you think about that? Don't you think you should get
something in return? That's always been my theory.
Speaker 10 (39:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I'm fighting for the guy in I want a nice watch.
Speaker 8 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
The men's rings always stink, so yeah, exactly right. So anyway, guys,
thank you so much for hanging out with us. Over

If you want to hear the thirty things I think

Pod where I could be uncensored.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If you want to hear why there's something wrong with
Rich perhaps, yeah, take a listen for sure, something wrong
with this guy? So I'm Cavino, that is Rich and
we do this every Thursday, old school when fifty hits.
According to Iowa Sam's math, one hundred and seventy nine
years ago. Rich baseball was invented today, eighteen forty six
(02:31):
on this day. So it got us thinking about the
most important moments to you in baseball history. And there's
historical moments like I'll give you an example that might
not be one for me. Look, it's been around one
hundred and eighty years almost, But let's say in Seattle,
Dan Byer could correct me, Well, he's not a he's
(02:52):
a Seattle Seahawks fan, not a Mariners fan. But in Seattle,
Rich they often say if they didn't win in ninety five,
they wouldn't have safe co field, right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, they say if King Griffey Junior didn't show up
in the playoffs that they wouldn't have kept that team
in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Maybe getting Junior save baseball in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, maybe just getting him period, was that significant moment
for your squad? Right, Perhaps it was Jay Buner. I
don't know, it depends on you asked. But if they
didn't win in ninety five at the Yankees expense, baseball
might not exist there anymore. So that's a historical moment
in Seattle history. And I'll give an obvious one. I
got to get it out of the way. Jackie Robinson
(03:32):
breaking the color barrier has to be one of the
most important things to ever happen in baseball, not only
for baseball, just for you know, the world that we
live in today. So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
It doesn't have to be of historical significance. It could
be something like Ridge said, the Mets winning eighty six.
Maybe your first baseball game, Yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever it
(03:54):
means to you.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I remember my first baseball game. My mother likes to
remind me that I should be hard on my kids
if they like want to leave a game, because you know,
I'm a diehard baseball fan, and my mom would always
tell me that at the games, when everyone else is
cheering let's go Mets, I was cheering let's go home.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You're a little kid. You know, you don't want to
know he's sitting there in the heat.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But you know what, I watched a documentary recently, so
I got to shout out my pal, al you know, Albert,
give me know my buddy al Al Spalding. I think
this is a big moment in sports history that could
go under the radar. Obviously ended up making balls for
a variety of sports the NBA, But it was back
in the late eighteen hundreds that Spalding was the guy
(04:37):
that got every little baseball league in town to use
the same baseball. I don't know if people know this
before that it was almost like houseball, you know when
you played whiffleball as a kid, where it was like
neighborhood rules. It was neighborhood rules in real baseball, Like
some balls were tighter, some balls are bigger, smaller.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Spalding was the guy that made Yeah, but was.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This Spalding also the guy that made the glow like
an acceptable thing because he was so good. Anyone that
wore a glove was made fun of, like you big wimp,
you wear a glove? What a weenie? You know, we
play bare handed. But because he was so good and
people respected him so much, it made it okay.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Isn't that the back something like that?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
That was the original baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
They started out as gloves and then the fingers on
the gloves just started getting bigger and bigger, like Mickey mouse,
and then who decided to tie all the fingers of
the gloves together. See like I'm bringing the fun facts today.
You might have heard of them, the Rawlings Brothers. So
I mean, think of all the gloves you had as
a kid. It was the Rawlings Brothers that said, let's
make a pocket to the glove and connect the fingers.
And you could go nerdy old school like that, or
(05:39):
simply just say, hey, Freddie Freeman last year is my
favorite moment.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, these are all important moments in baseball history,
but everybody has the ones that stand out to them.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dan Byer, do you have one?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Well, I was just gonna say, just on the heels
of what rich was talking about, Like a house, baseball
ends up becoming uniformed. But isn't that what makes baseball
so great? With these states wams where every NFL field
is the same, every NBA courts by and large is
the same with the same dimensions, paintings and otherwise are different.
But isn't that what makes the green Monster awesome? Or
(06:14):
you know the right field hole in Fenway Park, Yeah,
you know the warehouse in Baltimore, like all those things
like that's something that I find great I also love
this chatter. Come on, kid, come on now, come on,
come on, yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Baseball chatter, Yes, I love it. Sounds of the game absolutely,
you know.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Maybe don't get it at a at a big league ballpark,
but you go to any legion tournament or high school,
you always have chatter.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Hey, Dann Bayer, Yes, good eye, good good.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't take your pitts.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Kid.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Come on now, come on, come on kid.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
How about now you've seen them, you're hacking.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I turned southern. By the way, I don't know if
you can tell, but when I did my chatter, it's
like I just you know, was born in Alabama, DV.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
The other I was gonna say, rich the other sounds
of the game when we were little kids at the
stadiums uh, the announcers on transistor radios, you won't hear
that anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
No doubt. Man. And and by the.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Way, especially being Scully here in La.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
dB, speaking of the old school chatter cave, you know,
and I always joke about how, you know, when I
know they still sell them, maybe like the old timers
buy them, but the guy that sells things that stadiums
still talk like they're from the nineteen.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Twenties gets a program. He had program Peanuts, popcorn program.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Ye, old school.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's the cool part about baseball, Yeah, because it goes
so far back.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
There's so much history. So again the bam nice to you.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
I don't dip, but if I was playing first base,
I'd have my tongue in my bottom lip, you know,
right doing that chatter right the best?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
All right, so we get you involved at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. There's so much history when
it comes to baseball, and aside from Rob Parker's love
of baseball, here on Fox Sports Radio, we're one of
the only shows that really loved talking about baseball all
because right now I got my baseball, still love baseball.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I got one.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Let's say, coming up in the lineup was a Cavino
Bayer Danny g That sounds like hits.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That sounds like here, it sounds like sounds like some ruds.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I love baseball chatter too. That's a good point, Dan,
But if baseball chatter is the best sports.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Chatter, you remember the first time you heard ducks in
a pond. They're like, oh, okay, ducks in a pond.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, Oh we want to picture. Not a belly itcher.
Oh we want to catcher, not a belly scratcher. Oh
we want to catcher. Not by the way, the kids
a really fun creative one.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Pictu pitcher gets up, you know when when pictures would
hit and literal lygue itself like got runners on base Yo,
help yourself, help yourself?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh so good.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mentioned Jackie Robinson, So I'm gonna get another one
out of the way. As uh as a half Fato
local myself got to give props to the great Roberto
Clemente again being the first Hispanic player of Puerto Rican
descent to play professional baseball in nineteen fifty five. These
are all major moments that opened up the game to
(09:08):
where it is today.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right, So again I have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
To point that out, but it doesn't have to be
that historical because me personally, I remember the nineteen ninety
six World Series, right, the Yankees were down, dude down,
the Braves were dominant, and then Jim Laretz hits this
magical home run and turns the whole series around and
(09:32):
the Yankees win that series and that sort of started
that dynasty for the New York Yankees. If you guys
remember that was like a clear memory because before that
was a little kid. When they won in ninety six,
when that turnaround happened with Jim Larretz's home run, the
Yankees never looked back. They win the World Series, yet
a stumble in ninety seven, but then they go on
(09:52):
that major run. Dude, and looking back, I think we're
far enough removed to look back and say what they
did was insane. Yeah, that dynasty the Yankees had, winning
three in a row.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's unheard of.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Baseball's the hardest sport to repeat, and they did three
in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
So Larret's he's in trouble, right, he's a yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I'm not saying he's the best, dude. I'm saying
he turned that whole series around.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So let's hear that. Can you know said Jim Larretz
is his hero.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's not what I said. I'm saying that whole turnaround
when they were looking like they didn't have a chance
against the Atlanta Braves. So moments important moments to you
that made baseball is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Danny G. What's yours?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
How about Hank Aaron's historic seven hundred and fifteenth home run.
Now we weren't around, but we famously. See the clip
over and over of those two fans running out to
pat him on his back in their seventies duds.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You know what's so cool about that?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
As he was getting so much flack about breaking the
Babes record, right, like no one wanted him to be
the guy, and racial barriers and things like that ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And see these two.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Goofy white dudes the leather chack like seventy bellbyllers, big
college seventies dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That is one of the most classic clips for sure.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I haven't seen it in a minute, but I love
that clip. So the ones that stand out to you.
Let's go to the phone to get everybody involved. Where
do you want to start?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Let's start with Baker in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Baker in Illinois. You're on the Cavino and Rich Show,
the anniversary of Baseball.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Hey man, what's up? So it's kind of a not
a moment, but uh so I'll try and make it quick.
I grew up listening to Braves games on my radio,
and so I was a fan, and then the Yankees
knocked him out of the World Series, so I decided
(11:49):
I hate the Yankees, and then I jumped on the
bag bandwagon right at the right time in O three
and then the Yankee he knocked the Red Sox out
four they won.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
And that was dude.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, for any Red Sox fan or Yankee hater, four
was insane because it goes back to the curse of
the Babe when they dished him after nineteen eighteen. Right, So,
and that's another question itself. Would baseball be the same?
Rich baseball would still exist, but would it be the
same if Babe Ruth wasn't traded to the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I mean, would the NBA be what it was if
it wasn't for the Magic Johnson Larry Bird feud and
Michael Jordan coming And you can say that about most stems,
I think Babe, you know it was was super important
back then. He was larger than life. He was a
circus act. People would go see him to just.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Hit the ball.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
What could argue, Yeah, he could argue though. He might
be the most important figure in baseball to make it
what it is today, no doubt. So thank you man.
Uh yeah, two thousand and four. Major impact for anybody
in the New England area too. How about all those
(13:04):
old people that never sawt the saw their team win,
and you're just happy for Grandpa that you got to
see something. Scott and Missouri Important moments in baseball.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
November November second, twenty sixteen, Cubs win the World Series.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
I mean, growing up because staying in Chicago, I moved
to Springdale, Missouri, right in the middle.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
Of Cardinal Country.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
I could take a crap for years, and finally the
Cubs get it.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
They win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know, I always wonder if the Cubs fan had
a hangover after that, meaning like not from drinking, Like
like now what, because I there's that. There was such
a lovable charm about the Cubs. You finally win one,
and then I wonder, like, what does that feel like that?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There were so many great stories similar to the four
Red Sox. You waited your whole life to see that.
The story of David Ross was big too. Remember he
got carried off the field his majesticy home run. That
was huge for Chicago and we all got to witness
that absolutely in our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
One of the greatest moments for sure. Thank you man.
Rob in Pennsylvania, you're on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Hey guys, I love you and love your show.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Thanks man.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
Thanks the guy just stole my thunder was the Cubs
winning the World Series one hundred and eight years And
something cool was a baseball has one hundred and eight threats,
so he couldn't have matched up anything better.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You know that's cool.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And you know what you think too about like Steve
Bartman and all the stupid things that happened and the
Port Cubs, and you know, it's it's funny.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Dan Bier brought up a great point and Cavi, you know,
I know you found the chatter some young some young
kid on social media that's learning baseball and he's like, yo,
when was someone gonna tell me all the stadiums were different?
And to me, there there's such a charm about that's why,
well people do want to go see different basketball games
and football games. Why do you think everyone wants to
go see every Major League baseball stadium because they're all different.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
You go to Milwaukee, they got the slide in left field.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You go see the an Astros game and they got
the train in left field, or remember they used to
have that little center field little thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You go to Yankee Stadium, it's Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Every you go to Wrigley Field, you see the ivy
on the wall. It's there's something so special about each stadium,
the dimensions, the grass, everything. And by the way, we've
been to MLB experiences where I know Dan Byer enjoys
this conversation.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
They showed all the different types of grass at all
the stadiums, like in his precision, like the different types
of strains of grass that all the different stadiums use.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
That's another another thing.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's why I think golf appeals to me so much,
aside from just the sheer frustration of it, but it's
such a gorgeous setting in Major League Baseball with that
lush green field. If you have certain stuff mode absolutely
in San Francisco, this is kind of funny. I don't
know if anybody remembers this. The San Francisco Giants before, well,
(15:58):
they changed it. They used to have the old Navy
like splash landing area, right, But do you guys know
the story of Rusty, the fourteen foot mechanical mascot that
would come out if they hit a home run into
the splash landing.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You gotta look this up. Because it was such a
failure they got rid of it. But it was this
fourteen foot mechanical baseball dude that would come gliding out,
tipping his hat out to the to the audience, and
everyone hated it so much that they eventually got rid
of it. But the railway that he would the track
that he would move on, is still there underneath that
(16:35):
splash landing at It's Oracle right at Oracle pack Bell Park,
whatever the heck it is. But look up the legend
of Rusty and it might trigger some memories because that
story's wild Rusty again. It goes with the signature look
that every stadium has, which is why we like these ballparks.
You're right, I love that originality that every city brings
(16:55):
to the game.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Oh my god, this is so weird.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh honestly, I think it's kind of But it got
such backlash and people were scared of it. Kids hated it,
and everyone's like the socks. They got rid of Rusty.
I think it lasted like one season.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, cou let me ask you, can you think of
I have one that's on my mind. Can you think
of something else that was so terrible they got rid
of it in the stadium?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, the flagpole in Houston. No, that was the weakest.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do you remember that, like like really gross statue in Florida.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, in Miami with the Flamingos, they had some artistic
to something going on in the field.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Ciel.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, But you know, the signature look is I think
a part of the game that we all cherish, and
I think that's part of why we love it. Mike,
who runs this place, who's also getting ready for our
big Vegas adventure. He's bringing a bunch of prizes down
there for us, he says. Kirk Gibson's home run was
the historical moment for him. He said, you know, he
always admired the Lou Garrick speech too and what that
(17:57):
meant for baseball. But Gibson's home run was just a
classic moment for him. Back to your phone calls on
the anniversary of baseball invented on this day, eighteen forty six,
what were some of the most important historical moments in
the game or maybe just you personally, Tom and Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You're on the show.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
Hey guys, you know, I'm a Braves fan since the
early seventies. I was eight years old when I hit
the home run. But that's not it. I've seen him
win the World Series in ninety five, in twenty twenty one,
but that's not it. The powder Blue Braves, the disgusting
Braves of the late seventies and eighties. It couldn't win anything.
And then Sid Bream in nineteen ninety one beats the
(18:40):
throw from the greatest player in the game at the time,
Barry Bonds. Braves win, Braves, win, Braves, win from worse
to first. That to me was the moment that I'll
always cherish.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I love that, and I love the excitement in your voice.
I love the story.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And then my mind starts to trail off because baseball
means a lot to all of us, right, we all
grew up loving it. And it gets me thinking this
would be a controversial one, Rich, but you don't think
the steroid era, for as bad as it was for baseball,
brought so much excitement for baseball. Like Sosa and McGuire
gut punched each other.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Also, that summer was unforgettable.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Dude, Am I right?
Speaker 7 (19:17):
That any any network channel they would break into, they
would break out of whatever they were covering at the time,
whether it was the news or whatever was going on,
and they would show the at bat for McGuire or so.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So that's why it's so hypocritical to hold it against
these players, because everybody was pumped about it. And if
you were a little kid, like I wasn't a little kid,
but if you I was in college in the mid nineties,
late nineties. I graduated college in ninety eight. So if
you're a little kid and you're watching Sosa and McGuire
(19:48):
and guys like Rafael Paul Merrow just slugging away, hitting
bombs all the time, you don't think that was important
in their life and reeled them into the game. Like, yeah,
I get it detrimental to stats, to the game and
the reputation, but if that's what pulled you in and
you've been a lifelong fan since.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Was it really that bad?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't know, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I thought of a couple other fun ones. Nolan Ryan
Robin Ventura historical moment for sure, just like one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Of those, like those are the fun moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's like, uh, yeah, it's definitely a moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know remember how important it was.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, I mean if it's well, I mean you can
also throw like Don Zimmer and Pedro. That fight was
legendary and just added to the Yankees Red Sox feud.
There's just all these memorable moments, Mike Piazza and Clemens
throwing the bat at him.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
There's so many will say magical moments. Mike Piazza bringing
life back to normal after nine to eleven with that
bomb he hit. That was a majistic moment.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I think about some of the manias, like Doc goodin
coming to the league, and of course Fernando Mania in
Southern California kind of healed what had happened with Chavez,
Ravine and Mexican Americans being moved out of there for
the stadium to be built, and a lot of them
didn't embrace the team until Fernando and all of that happened.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For you know what Fernando Venezuela and what he meant
to the Latino community embracing baseball. You're right in Mexicans
embracing the Dodgers. Dude, that's insane the impact that he
had in this city with the Dodgers so important moments too.
Back to the calls.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Do you remember Cavino when you were kid, you told
me you went to a game. Were you on the
West Coast. You went to an Angels game and you
were there when Reggie Jackson tried to kill the queen.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It was wild, dude.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank god for Lieutenant Fred Rebin Right. I was a
historical moment.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Thanks Frank, Jamie and Georgia. You're on the Cavino and
Rich Show.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Historical or Alma thunder just a second ago from Florida.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
But it was Sid Range slide. But it was nineteen
ninety two.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Oh yeah, seven the year.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Oh really, okay, Jamie cleaning up his work. You know
how a Braves fans coming.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I love going thro these phone calls because in my
mind and I start thinking of other stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
When you think about Sid, you would think about sidbreams mustache.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No, No, I'm thinking about like, there's other moments that maybe
not that historical. But we're seeing Buster Posey, you know,
on the big stage press conferences, talking about Raphael Devers
and everything. Him getting mode over changed the game period
as we know it, you know what I mean. So
it's like, maybe not that historical, being that we've been
(22:28):
watching baseball one hundred and eighty years, but what happened
to him changed the game as we know it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I always think about that with your your Yankee pitcher,
Joba Chamberlain. I remember him being the first pitcher that
had a pitch count because he was coming off an
injury job.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I felt like, yeah, yeah, the Joba rules.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And ever since that, I feel like that opened the
floodgates to every pitching coach putting counts on their pitch Jaba.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Rules, Joba Chamberain, significant buster posey, you know, barreling down catchers.
That changed everything historical moment. These are things that we
were able to witness in our lifetime, which makes I'm
actually a little cooler. Uh, Tom and Ioway, you're on
the Coveno on Rich show.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
Hey, yeah, this is Tom.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
When I was a teenager, we got to say into
Saint Louis to watch a game, and I'm a keV fan,
so I loved it.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Again.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
See Dave Dinglan hit a grand slam off the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That is pretty good, Dave.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
Kingman and he almost hit it out of the stadium.
I said it was three and two first Stanning Bass
I said, they throw him a fastball, and they did,
But of course, my favorite time was one of the
Kevi's Wonder World series. But see and Kingman hit. That
was before the Stator. He was he was King Kong
when they called him.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You know, yeah, that guy hit like I only saw highlights.
I was a little too young for Kingman, but he
was a met when I was like a baby. Kingman
was known to hit like moonshots like I don't know
if anyone else is synonymous as far as homerun hitters
that would just hit like rocket high bombs.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
So we got a lot of people on standby. We'll
do what we call rapid fire crossfire. You'll get caught
up in the crossfire when we return, and we'll get
your phone calls real quick. And we got to talk rings.
Do they matter or not? Because we got conflicting stories going.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
On here, and there's a Cowboys story about the cheerleaders
that I think is into Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Don't over promise, man, We do have more. Covino and
Rich next on Fox Sports Radio Baseball Baseball Covino and
Rich crceeve of our big convention in Vegas is tomorrow.
(24:34):
We'll bring it to you live poolside from the circa
here on Fox Sports Radio right out live from a
Fox Sports radio studio. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has helped has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation ti raq dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We're gonna wrap up this baseball talk with four more
phone call, So, Hank tight eight seven seven ninety nine
O five baseball invented on this day eighteen forty six,
and it's old school and fifty hits. So the most
important moments in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And to you, like rich on this day.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Right, the fact that they came up with and they
always say it in a Ken Burns documentary or when
people are talking about the magic of baseball, just how
perfect sixty feet six inches is, right, Like that makes
it so great, ninety feet from the distance, the distances,
like if it's a routine ground ball, you'll get him out.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
He'll never beat out a routine ground ball, however, if
you bobble the ball a little.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Bit safe, right, Like, all these things were so important
to the game as we know it now. Perfection and
you mentioned sho hail Tani. The impact that we're going
to look back on is insane. It's immense when you
think about how global he's made the game feel like
it's always been there. We talked about Clemente's and when
(25:58):
he's meant to Latino players and banning players all over
the globe, but the international feel that baseball is really
bringing with Showhay and maybe even the decision rich of
World Baseball Classic. One day we might look back and
be like, that was a historical moment because look how
big the game is now internationally.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Of course, right and by the way, as we talk
about baseball in our favorite moments, and you know, doing
a little reminiscing the other day, I think it was
yesterday was National Mascot Day, and I gotta say baseball
probably has the best mascots, right, Philly Fanatic. I hate
to say it because I love to hate on Philly,
but the fanatic mister Met, mister Red.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
By the way, doesn't he look like mister Mets creepy uncle.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, I think he is. He's got the mustache, yeah,
I think.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You know, Colorado the Dinosaur Digger. They got all these
cool mascots throughout the league. So baseball is bringing it
as it did one hundred and seventy nine years ago.
And again the evolution, like you said, Cavino, guys were
they were like you, you gotta be tough. No helmets,
no gloves, nothing, and now like five year old kids
have sliding gloves exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. The
most important important moments in baseball, Uh, Tony in Virginia
you're on.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I think President Bush throwing out that first pitch at
Yankee Stadium in World Ferries right after ninety eleven.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I think that galvanized dude.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
That was imagic, bitch man.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It was definitely the best and most impactful. And then
I'd put the Queen when she threw the screwball, screwball,
the Queen of right underneath it. But yeah, that was
an awesome moment.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
He brings up a great.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Point that made the I know it sounds ridiculous because
it's just a pitch, but it made America feel strong.
And imagine if George W. Bush would have threw like
a Baba booie first pitch in that moment.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
No, and I love no, but remember the story goes
Jeeter tells him like, don't bounce it, Like, I love
that story and that was told by George Bush, Like
that really happened. It's a great call, it's a great story.
It's a great moment for sure. Let's talk to Pierce
in Albany. Pierce, you're on the show.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
All right, Well, isn't throwing out the nine to eleven
one kind of trump's me there? But I got to
say as a Mets fan, and you already talked to
Mike Piazza also saving America post nine to eleven. Yeah,
but the Robin Venture a Grand Slam single, that was
a cool moment.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
That was a cool moment, absolutely, And you know, like
if you're a little kid watching too in that moment,
that could have changed your life. That's the other thing
about it, Like we've seen a lot of great moments
at this stage, but for kids too, they stand out.
McKinny in Ohio, what's up, Danny?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
I was just gonna say, I was thinking of some
of the records that we've seen broken and I was
in the Bay Area in nineteen ninety one. How about
Ricky Henderson holding the bag over his head.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
That we just saw in fifty to fifty. It's never
been done.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
It just dawned on me recently. I forgot.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I honestly, I forgot that we lost Ricky like it's
it's crazy to think he's gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Uh McKinnie and Ohio, Oh dB, what's up buddy?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Just along those same lines, remember when that guy from
Fresnel called in and started started the Reggie Jackson chant
at the A's game.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Do you remember.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That that great moments?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is that brother?
Speaker 7 (29:10):
I don't think my brother started the chant that claimed
that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
He started.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's right, man, historical moment. Thank you, Dan, McKinnie and Ohio.
You're on the Cavino and Rich show man.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You know what.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
I love you, guys.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Show man.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
I don't think I would like it at first, but man,
I don't. I don't miss you.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now I'm watching the two new Bald Eagles fish in
the in the Great Miami River while I'm walking with
my dog listening to you guys. My favorite, my favorite
baseball moment I had to do with Crosley Field and
their Floatt outfield. I love that the Pete Rose thing
(30:00):
with him in the nineteen seventy six World Series Parade.
I know you guys east coast, West coast, but in
the Midwest maybe that's where it's at.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hey, dude, a lot of people haven't experienced the World
Series parade, but once you do, and if you do
it the right time in your life, that's magical, man,
and you'll never forget it. My first one was that
I was able to go to as an adult quote
unquote adult was in ninety six, and I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
A lot of the eighty six Mets never experienced a parade.
Cocaine exactly exactly. Hey, I want to thank you all
for your phone calls. Hit us up at Covino and
Rich we got to get to Dan Byer with an update.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
I do want to say baseball as well, and it
feels like it was in our era, but it's been forever.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
We're cheating was not.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Only allowed, but it was captured of, whether it be
corked bats, whether it be you know, many rubber balls
in baseball bats, whether it be fingernail files like all
of that. Like it's you don't see anybody nobody gets
busted in the NBA for cheating, right, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I mean, I always picture it was which necro brother
had the file in his back pocket he threw it out,
remember that.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah, yeah, gosh, it was one of them, and I've forgot.
I don't want to accuse the other of doing it.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But I think it was filmed. But again, it could
be joking and then.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All this oh oh this my fingernail file, all this
whole thing.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
There is some history made today in Major League Baseball
in Texas.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It's your two pitch.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Cagleion hits it high in the air, deep right center field, Adolescarcias.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
At the wall.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
It's gone, watch it fly.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Jack cagleon his first pig league home run.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Maybe you get moments like that in the NFL, like
first touchdown pass or first touchdown catch, but you don't
get that necessarily in the NBA. Yes, yes, he had
another one later. Royal sweep the Rangers today buy a
score of four to one on the Royals radio network.
Yankees top the Angel seven to three. Is the Pinstripes
stop their six game slide. Nationals needed eleven to beat
(32:03):
the Rockies four to three. Cardinals over the White Sox
five to four. They're just underway in the fourth inning
in game two of their double edder Saint Louis up
four to one in that one. Tigers took game one
of a doubleheader against the Pirates nine to two. Now
Pittsburgh leads three to nothing in game two and the
third Brewers over the Cubs eight seven. Diamondbacks beat the
Blue Jays by a score of nine to five.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Twins.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Earlier today were victors against the Reds by a score
of twelve to five in a game that just went
a final and it disappeared from my screen. Giants beat
the Guardians by a score of two to one. Tonight
is game six of the NBA Finals. Thunder and Pacers
eight thirty Eastern Time. Thunder up three to two. Tyrese
Haliburton expected to start for Indiana. According to ESPN, Scotti
Scheffler leads the Travelers at eight under par, tied for
(32:44):
the lead with Austin Neckrot, Rory McElroy's two back, jordan' speath.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Withdrew because of an injury.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
And I just want to congratulate you guys on your
twenty years. I will not be in Vegas with you,
but I will be here tomorrow. I'll be on the
show but I know it's going to be crazy, But
congratulations on your next two decades of radio partnership and success.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You believe that that's one hundred and twenty years in
radio years.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
I have not had one person ask me, are you
going to Vegas? And I don't know if it's they
don't want me to go or they just knew that
it probably was never going to happen. But that one
person questioned to me and saying, are you going to
be making it? And I just so you know, let
me give you an honest response there too. And I
do this a lot. I don't like putting pressure on people.
I just don't, you know. So for me personally, it's like, hey,
(33:28):
everybody's invited. I don't like the pressure people.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
My assumption is that you have a little son and
when we're away, you're you're you're the number one guy.
They have always filling in and doing all the shows
around Fox Sports, and one of our coworkers has a
wedding on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
I just thought it's a busy week.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Even to me to make it about me, right to no, no,
thank you, thank you, Dan. Yeah, we couldn't do this
without you, so we appreciate it. Thank you, Dan Byer,
Thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation. The rest of your
feedback at Covino and Rich start thinking about rings?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Do they matter?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Or do they There's two conflicting stories from two teammates.

right here on Fox Sports Radio Vegas, Baby Vegas, You're

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Gonna rock your Travis Matthew golf shirt at Atomic Golf?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
You know I just might Rich, Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
Definitely rocking on Travis Matthew for sure, Thank you, Travismatthew
dot com. Rich, tell me why before we talk about
rings and the importance of rings, do they matter or not?
Conflicting stories? Why do you say watches don't matter anymore?
What was that article you saw?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
No, I know you didn't read it, but I know
you saw it.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, I don't read it was a headline, I'm sure,
So yeah, come.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
On, just that we all rock Apple watches. It's now
the new default. Smart watches and fitness watches have taken
the place of that middle tier watch.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
So unless you're a.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Guy that's into brightlings and Rolexes and like top tier tags,
and unless that's your style and you want to be
the guy that likes watches, they're saying, you know, perhaps
there's a new mindset that well, it's either ten.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Thousand dollars watch or Apple watch.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Like the idea of a three hundred dollars watch doesn't
do anything for anyone anymore.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I think it's always going to be a status symbol.
I love me me personally again, but maybe I'm I
don't want to say older because I don't feel old
at all, but I still appreciate.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
A nice, beautiful Rolex or a nice.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
You like boxing and baseball. I mean, you might as
well be a nine year old white guy, but I
think you nail that though.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I think the Apple Watch may be replaced that like
Cassio level of watch, like for your everyday watch. But
if you're going out and you're trying to make a statement,
that's the piece you need, that sweetccess. It's more of
an accessory like a talking piece as maybe much as
it is a time piece nowadays.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
But well that's the update on.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Maybe if you see me this weekend with a sweet Watch,
that means I hit the tables pretty good early on nice.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, it's Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio our
big convention eve CRCE eve and if everything goes great, hey,
we'll continue to take the show on the road and
we hope to meet you and see you soon. The
most interactive show on radio. Now, do rings matter or not?
That when you ask your rings matter or not? Historically
(36:49):
people say that's how you remember your championships, your rings.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
And just the other day Lebron we talked about it.
He's like, Yo, rings don't matter, and we goofed on
him a little bit. But a day later, get sold,
and the first thing Lucas says his teammate, The first
thing he says is all right, sweet, this is great. Now,
let's go win some rings.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
He says, he's super pumped about the Lakers sale, and
let's go win some rings now. So it's like his
own teammate. You have conflicting views on the importance of
rings on the team. It's so weird to see this conflict.
And on the same day, Rich Yeah, Danny g. Sam
Kelsey is quoted today that he's only interested in Super
(37:31):
Bowl rings, like his whole purpose in coming back is
winning a ring. He wants number four because that solidifies
your legacy in a game of wins and losses and championship.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
Feels like two different thoughts, though, because Lebron was pointing
out that there's some NBA players that he really respects
and thinks are greats and legends despite the fact they
never want a ring. I don't think he's gonna be
saying I don't care what happens this season. Hopefully he's
still gonna be saying it's the same thing Luca just said,
let's go win one.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm not ever gonna deny the heart of a Lebron James,
Who am I some JABRONI in the studio talking about him?
I get it, I'm a fan, but it doesn't make sense.
It just doesn't. It just caters to his current narrative
because he's not gonna have as many rings as Jordan
most likely, so he's trying to downplay the importance. That's
(38:23):
honestly what I take out of it. Yeah, you can
still be a really great player without one, but you're
not held in that same company. And Charles Barkley's always
that example, or Dan Reno's always the same People like
really great players. But greatness is also measured in how
many championships you won, so I think it always matters.
So on the very next day, that's what's ironic about it,
(38:44):
where Luca gets the news that the team was sold
in it is valued at ten million dollars or whatever.
I'm pumped, let's go win some rings. That just sounds
so odd. So do they matter or not? They absolutely matter?
Is there any debate? Sure, you could be great, but
even greater with a ring. I mean there's no question
(39:05):
that they matter. But in what context? You have to
point out what Lebron was saying now I get you,
and some other people are gonna say, well, this is
just because of the Michael Jordan factor, But if you
really listen to what he was saying, I think you
kind of get the drift, you know what I mean,
I get it. I get what you're saying too. So
it's just ironic that the very next day Lucas said
(39:26):
the exact operation.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
And we said on the show yesterday with the new
Guggenheimen group coming in that they're not really gonna be
in place around Lebron. He's probably gonna be out of there.
They're gonna be building around Luca.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And speaking of watches and rings, I always had this
theory that if you were ever gonna buy an engagement ring,
your fiance should buy you a sweet watch. What do
you think about that? Don't you think you should get
something in return? That's always been my theory.
Speaker 10 (39:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I'm fighting for the guy in I want a nice watch.
Speaker 8 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
The men's rings always stink, so yeah, exactly right. So anyway, guys,
thank you so much for hanging out with us. Over
promised on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, We do it
next and Rivederci Baby see you in the Promising, see
you in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Let's go yes.
