out of the Ranger games. Bob. If the Rangers lose, lose lost

(10:45):
to Montreal, sucks, right,they're trying to suck. Yeah, they
kind of do, and we kindof lost a lot of chances. I
saw a lot of chances, buta little bit of nothing one in.
They just couldn't. They little lacklusterand I thought that would lackluster. I
don't like to say that, butthey just didn't drive it home like they

(11:05):
usually do. They're usually great inthe third period, too, and too
much passing lately. I see fromthe Rangers from my perspective, as a
fuse a lot of passing that they'retrying to get the perfect thing to happen.
That's an old range of trait,it is. It's an old range
of trait. They try to lookfor the perfect play instead of just pumping

(11:26):
it into the net like Montreal shoot. The plays this wide open game and
the Rangers kind of play very tight. But the Rangers are well oiled machine.
They're very good. But they're makingthey're making the playoffs. Of course
they're gonna make it. They're gonnamake a run. I hope. I
think they're gonna do really really wellin the playoffs. Okay, So I
don't know. I mean, itwas just very odd. I mean,

a cappec know primo, you seeit's imo? Do we say primo?
No? We say primo because theeye is pronounced like an em. Right,

(47:09):

I'm at this place and this ladycomes up behind me and she goes,
um, she goes yo, um, can you can you buy me a
drink? You know, something todrink? I go no, And I
wasn't so I go I like this. I looked at her. I was

and now I'm not saying yes.She comes up to the counter with this
gatorade and she puts it down andshe goes, thank you. She says
to me, I should I neversaid I was buying you that, and
I'm not. She goes, well, I'm really thirsty. I go,

mean. Well, then she goes, it's for my health. I go,

(48:15):
you know what'll be for your health? Get a job for my head.
That'll be good, right, right, So now what does she do?
She just walks out the store withthe gatorade. With the gatorade,
so now the guy's running after her. Guy from the store goes, hey,
what are you doing? He goes, you didn't pay for that?
And he didn't. I already heardthis guy. So she starts she walks

(48:37):
away. So I went up totwo cops and they were Canine cops,
and I'm up to him. Isays that lady runt, she just stole
gatorade from the h Penn station Delhiover there. Yeah, guy goes like
this. He goes, yeah,they usually let him take him anyway.
Oh really, right, he's gonnachase the woman down for a gator what

The cops that door. Really,So she goes out bullshit, and
I'm sitting there going, what thefuck with right now? She's pissed off
because you're calling around on her bullshit? Yeah really, so you know she's
annoyed. So now I got tolook over my shoulder where I go.

(49:21):
I was gonna say, it couldhave followed me home. I wouldn't know.
She might live under the garden.So yeah, I'm sure she does.
But uh yeah the Rangers. Sothe Rangers play tonight. Lost to
the Canadians, who only have liketwelve wins for the year, I think.
And it's very but eventually teams doyou know ken beacha and that's where
it goes. Um. They justkind of were a little lackluster and a
little ackluster and uh, Montreal gottenon to lose. So they played with

(49:46):
very open and just fly around theeyes. Goalie played well, Yes,
I played really well, because wedid. We did have some We had
a lot of a lot of chancesthat I saw but just couldn't get anything.
So in the meantime, the Rangeof the Giant game was on.
During the range of game, BigGiant win the whole ways, huge win.

(50:07):
Nice. That was nice to seethat they won. Last time the
Giants went to the divisional round wastwenty eleven for a little Giant trivia for
you from the Cowboy Fan and itwas also the yeah they won the super
Bowl. Last time they won thesuper Bowl, So they won eleven,
they won on eleven, they wonin seven, and they won a eleven
both times against the Patriots. Obviouslyeverybody knows. But yes, Sir fran

(50:30):
Gatto checking in well High Frand youknow, I just realized I saw somebody.
I'm at ubs tomorrow US arena forthe Island the game, Yes,
and I went I go in theother night and the guy comes up and
he goes, you wanted to getinto super Bowl box? And I'm thinking,
all right, sure, why not? Yeah, I'll get in the
super Bowl box. So now Ijust got there and we're doing roll call,

(50:52):
and I just committed myself to asuper Bowl box, and I was
like kind of reaching in my pocket, you know, like and I says,
how much is it you? Hundredone hundred? It's like hundred.
I'm working for free today? Rightthe fuck am I doing? I do
just say twenty even dan, Ithought maybe at twenty even fifty one hundred

(51:13):
dollar box? Well, yeah,usually you would say that when you ask
if you want a super Bowl box? Hey, do you want a one
hundred dollars super Bowl box? Yeah? Not like an you won a box.
I'm thinking, you know, somany people run these pools and they
do two dollar boxes, five dollarboxes, ten dollar boxes. It's like,
yeah, whatever the fuck it is, I don't care whatever it is,
one hundred dollar, one hundred dollarbox. I'm on the I and
you know, damn well, I'mnot winning right out of the gate,

(51:36):
I'm not winning. I don't winany super Bowl box. I never win
a Super Bowl boxes. I don'tthink I've ever won a super Bowl box.
I've won before, but it's veryrare, very rare. I got
a friend of mine wins every year. I don't know how every freaking year.
Yeah, there's some people who justconstantly win. I don't understand.
I tell you pick boxes. Ipick boxes. But and he's not running
the he doesn't run the plat.He just joins like I do. You

(51:59):
just happen to joined the same boxthere, you know, through the league
and you know whatever. John deBenedetis used to come into the bar family.
They have the very elite landscaping business, de Benedet's Landscaping, and uh,
all the brothers used to come inand they would buy the corners box
number one, okay, box numberten, box number ninety, box number

(52:22):
one hundred or whatever. So thefour corners ninety one, I should say,
right, and I'd go and they'dalways win, really always win.
He goes your corners, always win. I'm like, all right, So
I bought it. I went toa couple of pools and what the corner
is? Not even close and close? No win, not a whiff nothing.

(52:44):
I wasn't even in the money atany point of the game. It
wasn't like, oh this if theycould just hold him now I got this.
Yeah, No, it wasn't evenin the money. Close. He
buys the corners. The corners alwayswin. That's because they're just they're just
those type of people that just everythinggoes right for them, which is nice,
true, but it leaves me youknow, you know you weren't here

(53:05):
for this, but I'm gonna showyou this. So well, Bobby La
Sarah came in before and uh andhe actually came in wearing a hat,
wearing an Island a hat, whichwas odd because I don't really see I
don't think i've ever seen Bobby numberone wear a hat. And two I
didn't even know he was an Islanderfan all this time, that he's really
an Islander fan. Apparently, I'man Island. He used to watch hockey

(53:27):
a lot last couple of years.He's kind of, you know, been
a little off the sports game andyou know, focusing on business and whatevers
he should be. But uh yeah, so I was like spray because grass
was round his giant hat. Iwas wearing my brand new by the way,
h one of my college buddies wedo little secret Santa today finally got
together nice original six out I gottoday. This hat feels like I've owned
it now for years, Like Idon't know what it is like. I

(53:50):
got it, I put it on. The brim was already you know,
nice that's a perfect brim, bythe way. Yeah, the brim was
already like this. The hats likeshaped in my head. I'm like,
kids today would straighten that fucking brimright out, Yeah, flatten it up
so you could put like a sodaon it. My son that did that

(57:15):
I go down to Fineman's Field andthey're painting the fucking plays, painting the
room and they've been doing it forlike two weeks already, the whole place
to the podcast exactly, it's intotal disarray. Everything's all over the fucking
place. Right I'm walking through there, I'm like something like paint and it's
still I still smell the paint.I was there yesterday, and um,

(57:36):
it just reeks of paint. SoI'm sitting there. So I go in
the office and I sit down,and people coming in and the and the
guy's got this scaffolding thing that rollsaround. It's like a X kind of
like that's what they call him,so construction term. Every time he moved,

(57:58):
Oh, that's like a motorized Ican't even talking here exactly. Lift
I'm sitting there. I'm going,I can't even fucking hear myself thinking here,

(58:23):
you do for registration? Pretty good? Yeah, I don't want I'm not
looking to get a ton of kids. But if you're out there and you're
looking to play some ball, lookingto play some ball, you sign up
for Hawks Baseball. Okay, sendus a check. Doing indoor workouts over
at um Oil City. I sawread Grecky there yesterday. I can't put
my deposit down. Heard that's anice facility. It's a good facility,

(58:45):
very good facility Oil City on Oceanside. If everybody has a chance to go
there, do go there. Anduh, I was actually eating Ryan Grecky.
I was up in Connecticut over theweekend uh Friday Saturday, Thursday night
Friday Saturday of Mohegan Sun at theWorld Coaches Baseball Convention, which I didn't

(59:05):
even really I should have been invitedyou. I'm looking for my invitation now,
as I as I tell you this, I should have told you about
it, because you really would havebeen good. You would really like this,
and you would want your other coachesto go up there, or other
coaches in your league to go upthere and listen to these guys. I
mean it cost a few bucks becauseyou're staying in Mohegan Sun and you know
whatever. But the convention itself,it's about one hundred and fifty bucks.

(59:28):
I did a thing like that,something similar, But these are all like
the top. Yeah, I mean, it's more geared for like high school
coaches and college level. You know, there's like the head coach for Florida
State and Stetson and all these guysare there talking. So what did they
tell you that you could use?Uh? Well, I'm I'm out of
the coaching game. You know,I don't really coach, but I kind
of run the league. And someof my other coaches went and told you,

(59:50):
we're well aware of the fact thatyou now run the league. Right,
that's gone to my head now.But I wanted to throw it in
the big hot right, I wanted. I wanted to throw that in there
to see if you we catch that. So um, I gotta tell you
that there was a demonstration by ahigh school guy was like back to back,
stay champed whatever, somewhere in NewYork or Pennsylvania. I'm not sure
what school it was, but hewas doing a first and third kind of

(01:00:13):
defensive drill and how to you know, decide whether or not you know,
what's more important the guy scoring fromthird or getting the out. And it
was basically it was a very hadphilosophy on that it depends on the outs
in the situation, well exactly,and and and that was the two two
outs. I'm going for that runup, I'm going for that run of
stealing second. But does it matterwhat the score is? If the score

(01:00:37):
is tied, I'm not if I'mif I'm losing or by one. No,
no, if i'm winning by one, I might not either. But
if I'm winning by two or more, or if I'm losing by two or
more, or I have two outs, throwing the fucking ball down and we're
getting the guy out of second base, right, Yeah, I mean it
was that was the concept. Itwas like fire and ice. It was

(01:00:59):
like fire was get the out,Ice was hold the guy frees him at
third like those were the two,you know. And he went through all
the maturations of that and this andthat. But the most interesting part of
that I found that I would tellguys is, so, when you're gonna
throw, let's say, um,typically, unlike at the laid steal or

(01:01:21):
something like that, you might endup throwing like a pickoff to the first
baseman right right, and it kindof throws behind the guy and now he
takes off at the guy from third. It's gonna take off and they're trying
to create chaos for you, obviously, right in those situations. Who all
have been there, if you've coachedit all. So his thing was,
don't ever, under any circumstance throwthe ball to the first baseman in that

(01:01:43):
scenario. Okay, you're gonna nothing, right, they throw the ball to
the second baseman. Second baseman cansee the whole infield. Never done the
first baseman. I don't even nevereven heard of it. I had never
even heard of throwing it to thesecond base until I actually got there.
What I've is, on a rareoccasion, you fake to throw to second
and throw to third, trying toget the guy wandering off. But you

(01:02:05):
got to really pull that one off, and you got to really get somebody's
got answering their pants down at thirdbase and just jumps off the base right
and you need a good catcher,and a very good catch with a good
arm is not throwing into the leftfield. And now we got two runs
home exactly. Um. But thepoint is, I don't like to be
made of fool love and I don'tlike to be giving away anything for free.
So when I'm coaching nine times outof ten the throw is going through

(01:02:30):
nine times out of ten of throwsgoing through, it's it's got to really
be that run a third has tobe really important or there's nobody out maybe,
um, and we're and we don'twant to give up any runs right
now. You're not gonna do ita tie game or even get you out.
Damn I'm throwing through how many howmany run lead? Would you change

(01:02:50):
that decision? So let's say ifyou were obviously, if you're tied,
you're going for the guy a third. Right, you're gonna hold the guy
at third. I don't want himscoring yet, right, don't want him
scoring at all. And that wasthe philosophy. This guy can't score under
any circumstance. And that's with thewhole thing with the shuttle the show.
Stop cutting the ball off in themiddle of the infield. That doesn't fool
anybody, doesn't fool anybody who's beenexperienced in baseball for any of you're like,

(01:03:13):
oh wow, get the fuck outof here. Yeah, but the
thing is to me, it's youcan pump fake and throw somewhere. Pump
fake and throw somewhere. Just donot let that man steal second base.
Do not let him freely steal secondbase, and just flip the ball back
to the pitch. You're like,it didn't even happen, bullshit making it.
You're embarrassing my team. Now you'reyou're embarrassing us, and they're embarrassing

(01:03:37):
us with throwing the ball down.And that's it. But with throwing the
balls to third, fake the second, throw the third. But I don't
ever do nothing right. Yeah,so that one that was unfortunately the only
one I caught because Friday, Iwas working a lot of the day even
though I was up there. Butbut I thought it was pretty uh.

(01:03:57):
I thought it was pretty good informat. Then there's a bunch of vendor.
There is a bunch of other stuff. I was actually up there for
that, maybe stuff we need forthe leasand was like, hey, how
dog hey had dog Hey to bea man here? No no beer man,
No, no, no. Actuallythe last night they had a little
social at like five thirty and yougive your ticket and you get like a
free a free beer. So uhso we all go down there because apparently

(01:04:20):

Or is that what you think?I think you're right, Bobby,
you said that right. I don'tcare. I'm at a point. I'm

(01:09:33):
at a point right now. Thishas grown up baseball. Okay, I'm
not playing with eight year olds.I'm not playing with ten year olds.
You throw down to say, ifyou're playing high school level baseball, at
least you throw the fucking ball down. And if the run scores and you
don't throw the guy out, okay, and if you do get the guy
out, great, and the runscores or whatever. But if you get

(01:09:57):
the guy out with two out,the inning's over. I'm gonna let you
fucking make a fool out of me. I'm not doing it. We're gonna
show you that we know how toplay the game. I'm gonna throw the

and I'm grateful that I'm off.I'm off tomorrow. Hey, you
know what, I'm gonna be honestwith you. Martin Luther King is a
great American. He is, absolutelyno. He did wonderful things, and
his way about doing things was theright way. His peaceful protest way was

(01:11:06):
the right way. And that's theway people should operate. That's the way
people should take care of stuff,not smashing shit and blowing shit up and
and stealing. You know, hethe presidential music Bridge, Well he should.
And now Bobby is right, Bobby'speople, there's a certain decorum that,

(01:11:28):
you know, peacefully maybe wouldn't havesome of the problems we have.
It's a big problem when people goout of their minds. It is.
But no, Bobby, my lastquestion was getting a little bit getting better.
But I gotta tell you, Ihave to pick my lanes now when
I go down the stairs, becauseI always have to. There's two of

(01:11:50):
the three lanes always has someone sleepingon it. Yeah, I gotta step
over somebody. Yeah. The otherday Nick went to um. He suddenly
went to the Billy Joel concert.He was I went with him to,
uh, what do you call umold Westberry to meet with the coach over

(01:12:11):

the coach and everything to talk him. Not a word was mentioned about Billy
Joel concert. I'm in the callwith him. I was with him all
day. I come home and Ikind of conked out for a little while,
and the next thing I get isa text from him saying, Wow,

night I'm going over to ubs.And I'm just kind of envious of my
son right now here you go,and me for going to the coach convention.

(01:13:40):
I am so envious of you asthe president of Farmingdale Baseball. I
mean, I can't think of Ican't think of a better way to make
my head bigger and bigger than tobe the president of a baseball league.
But you know what you'll never know. Oh, I know a security detail
too. He's got his own securitydetail. Yes, he works at the

(01:14:00):
garden, he works at City Field. We work at ubs arena. We
don't know that either, right,we don't know any of that. All
these all these sporting events you goto and all these jobs, you don't
know that. Well, I'm justsaying, I'm just pointing out reality.
Listen to this. You know it'sgood for the standard. There's there's a
there's a there's been a new attitude. Uh that you've exuded is look at

(01:14:23):
us. Yes, there's an air. He's like, he's got this el
presidentay thing going on over here.Remember it's children's baseball you're in charge of.
I never won, true, Inever once went around and and I
was president of Valley Stream Baseball Leavefor nine years and I've been the Hawks

(01:14:44):
for twenty, right, and Iall never once told someone if they asked,
well, yeah, I don't goaround just saying it to people.
All you do you do on theair, you would think you would think,
you would think he's like the CEOof fucking Snapple or something. He's

(01:15:06):
like, he's like, uh,you know, I'm a president of baseball
right now. And you know itgot me was when I was talking last
week kidding around, of course,I was like, you know, I
want to I want to what wasI saying I wanted to be on the
board or something like that? Waskidding around? No, no, you
know, no, no, you'renot a Daler, I got I'm not
a Daler. Well you'd have to, you'd have to. There's a process

(01:15:29):
to go to. The process isa Daaler process. The is the whole
application process and a screening. Yougot scool samples, stool samples, and
you got a swabby cheek. Wehave a background check, Yeah, background
We do a background check. Yeah, I do a background check. You
know what I gotta tell you.I don't know what you got as a
board or whatever the hell you got. But here's the way I operate.
And this might tell you a littlebit about myself. I don't have anybody

(01:15:51):
given me their opinion. I doeverything my way on my own, all
right. At least Stream Baseball Leaguethat used to have a board of directors.
When I took over in two thousandand nine, there was no more
board of directors. There was me. What it was me? There was

(01:16:12):
me because I said to myself,I'm taking this shit on. It's like
Hitler. Oh yeah, I am. I am, except that I can't
I like people. So the bottomline is I took it over as a
fucking dictator. Yes, I did. I did. I did. I
did everything the way I wanted to, the way I liked it. And
when I decided that I wasn't doingit anymore, I didn't give it to

(01:16:33):
someone else. I closed the league. Now, Wow, So you took
your ball and went home. Yea, I said, no one's gonna do
a job like I did. Fuckthem. Wow. As a matter of
fact, though, I did offerit to some people wow. And they
were like and they were like,this, it's a lot of time.
I go, Yeah, I know, it's a lot of time. I

(01:16:53):
tend old day on it. Yeah. I used to make every roster for
every team, put the kids onthe team, do the rigistrations. I
did every fucking thing. I gotthe insurance, I went to be the
bats and got bats, I gotequipment, uniforms. I did it all.
I did fucking everything. But don'tyou think that's a little bit of
a doubtful that you wouldn't have peoplearound you right helping you out a little

(01:17:16):
bit? Yeah, you need people, you would think. And the thing
is, this is the way Iam. Sorry, folks. Every time
I asked someone to do something.They fucked it up. They fucked it
up, and I had to doit over. Oh boy, oh boy.
I could see how this went.I couldn't stand it. I used
to be like, you know what, um too much, I got my

(01:17:40):
hands in everything. I just letme give this to this guy. Let
me let this guy handle it.And then he's calling me up. He
goes, So I called up thisone and he says that I should do.
What should I do? I'm like, wake a decision, that's what
you do. Make a fucking decision. What you gotta do. Then you
make the decision. I go,why the fun did you do that?
I'd be like, like, thatwas the worst fucking decision, are you

(01:18:01):
kidding me? And then and thenI'd redo it. I'd end up redoing
it, so it was double thework, right. I was up all
night. I used to be upto two o'clock in the morning doing this
fucking league. I used to takeregistrations. I would do the regist I
would drive the people's fucking houses andget their registration. I would sit a
fireman's field for four hours from teno'clock in the morning to two o'clock in
the afternoon. On Saturday and Sundayfor a month every month, every week,

(01:18:25):
every weekend from month and taking theregistrations. Why. I know you
wanted and my league was fucking awesome. Was but you know why it wasn't
off as awesome anymore? Why?Because what could you had nobody else around
you to help you. No,that's not why I picked all the coaches.

(01:18:47):
I did coaches clinics. I didinto a clinics for the kids.
I fucking did everything, all right, we do all tattoo, but we
do it as a group. Ican't do it as one person. I
did so anyway I would do.Um. I want I want to ask
how that worked for you? Itwent't great? Well, how could it
have gone over? I had peopletelling me it couldn't have gone great.

(01:19:11):
It's over. Doesn't exist, hiswife doesn't. How could it have gone
great if it doesn't exist? Thelittle stirrups that get the fuck off the
horse? All right, get downon the ground. I'm down on the
Give the horse a carrot. Holdon a second, let's go. What
happened was what happened was Valley streamchanged rapidly, very very rapidly. So

(01:19:35):
I had all my teams coming backyear after year, like I'd have a
division. A division age out,twelve year olds age out. So they
go, so now ten year olds, I can play in the in the
eleven and twelve division. Right,they aged out, They aged out.
The new kids coming to play teaball after I was remember I was there,
liked almost ten years. Right,The new kids coming to play tea

(01:19:58):
ball were clueless as to what baseballeven was, the parents and everybody.
Right, So now I have teams. Now I have teams, let's say
at the ten year old level,that were together for five years since tea
ball. All right, right,then I'd get new kids signed up,
and I'd have to form a team, form a team, and I get
a parent called me, and I'msorry, I imitate people exactly the way

(01:20:23):
they speak to me. But I'dget this, I know. I'd like
to said, Mike Show, notplay base the baseball. I go,
yeah, they go, um,yes, what what? What? What?
Let me ask you what does heneed? What does he need?
I go, he needs a fuckingcheck for one hundred ninety five hours.
No, He's like, yeah,yeah, yeah, well I'll tell you

(01:20:46):
about no problem with the check.What does he need? The cleans.
Does he need the cleans and andwhat they're decorded the MIT? I go,
he doesn't have a MIT. No, I never played before, never
played me. I go, he'sten years old. He's gonna play against
kids that play for five years now. I tell you what, Go join
little league. That's what he's tellingthem. Go join little league. That's

(01:21:08):
where they play. That's where thosekinds of people play. People who never
played before, go play little league. My league is very competitive. It's
it's very similar to a travel league. I had teams coming from other towns
to play. He's rockaway and Ihad all different teams coming over to me.
We had a very very strong ranmore of a travel program than us.
A quasi if you will, quauseistravel league where I would take in

(01:21:32):
other teams. Read Greci from OilCity even put his team in there one
year and he almost won the championship. I guess who won it anyhow,
Hitler won the champion. Don't callme. That's the worst thing. You
call Mussolini anyway, Sorry Mussolini.So anyway, so the bottom line is,
as these kids thought of going upin aging out the new kids coming

(01:21:56):
up, and let let's say Ihad three teams, let's say three teams
at twelve yew level that was solid, three solid teams. Every year you'd
rely on new sign of not allValley Stream kids, these are from Most
of them were those teams kids comingfrom So now I had I had a
lot of kids from ULT, Ihad a lot of kids from UH.
But then I also had a lotof kids from Elmont. But what started

(01:22:17):
happening was the older they were andthe more inexperience they were, the more
they were overwhelmed. So I gotto the point where my last year,
I was able to pick every divisionwinner and almost just make up their trophy.
Now I knew, I knew itwas gonna win because they were together
and they had good coach. Right, the new teams, the new kids

(01:22:39):
who didn't know how to catch athrow. I'm running clinics for ten to
eleven year olds telling kids that holdthe ball across this seems like this all
right. Now, we bring ourarm down and we bring our arm up,
and we throw and you release theball. Some kids that he's eleven

(01:23:01):
never played before, He's gonna playwith kids that are like fucking all stars
to get his ass kicked so Iwas like, So what I did was
I took the teams that were good, made them travel teams, disbanded the
league. I said, that's it. So I said, and this is
what happened too, is now thishas been a couple of years now.
My son was at the age wherehe was going to get ready. He

(01:23:23):
was flaying high school ball and hewas gonna go. And I'm sitting there
going, I'm spending all my fuckingtime trying to tell you know, kids
that have never played the game before. I'm gonna ask you a question.
He's the right hander. Does theirmit go on the right hand on the
left? Yeah, we get thosequestions. I'm like, are you series
he's right handed? Which hand doeshe throw the ball with? What does

(01:23:45):
right hand? I go, allright, So what do you think he
has to have a hand free?Which hand do you think should be free
for him to throw the ball?I supposed a right hander? Correct?
Yes? Correct? What hand?Do you think we would catch the ball
with the mid All right? We'rehere, like to catch with his right
hand? Doe? I go,so we got two arm Jim Abbott,

(01:24:06):
you so, basically, and theycouldn't play. They just couldn't play.
It was it was a disaster.So I said, that's enough. Little
League is what they're for, whatthey what they needed. And uh and
it wasn't just them, I meanit, come on, it was um
every background. These kids they justyou know, with the thumbs and they're

(01:24:27):
doing the thing. You got afew kids dedicated, really dedicated to playing
baseball. And if you really lookup to look up the whole scenario,
you'll see that Central High School wentfrom a top notch baseball program to now
what they're in what they call aninstructional they're in what they don't even play
goal for playoffs. They just playlike, I don't even know what they

(01:24:50):
call it. It's almost like playingfor the fuck of it baseball, right,
that's what they're doing. Get toMural of Austin. It's really it's
what it is. South High Schoolwas doing into two now, right,
it's like, what the fuck happened? Well, I'm gonna tell you what
I'm gonna tell you. From myview, I have to listening to your
story. What I think is attributesto Paul. I'm gonna tell so you

(01:25:13):
disbanding music in the background for there'sno there's no breeding ground for these kids.
So when you get to high school, you have nothing. There's nothing.
There's no program in your town nowto bring these kids up to play.
Right, So how could there there'sno feeder system for the program in

(01:25:33):
the in the school distric. ButI couldn't consistently put it on myself.
I'm not putting it on you.I'm just saying that's that's why they used
to work. I worked at thebaseball camp with Tony Lombardo and Al Morazzo's
baseball camp, the Valbrook Camp.I love doing that and there's a lot
of good kids playing there. Buteven he even he split from Valley Stream,

(01:25:56):
he started as val Brook, ValleyStream, Limber right it is now.
It went from two weeks Valley Streamactually went from the first regionally three
weeks Valley streamed one week Limbrook.Right over the close of time, it
went two weeks Valley Stream, oneweek, two weeks Limbrook. Then it
went one week Valley Stream, threeweeks Limbrook, and now it's three weeks

(01:26:17):
Merrick, one week lynn Brook,no Valley Stream. And the reason no
one was joining anymore. No onewas joining and the only one that was
feeding him to players was me,and I used to talk kids into the
signing up. I used to putit part of my registration that the kids

(01:26:38):
would pay the league registration at onehundred ninety five or whatever it was,
and then they would pay an extratwo hundred to go to the camp,
which was a discount from his twofifty or whatever it was at the time.
Right, So they would get agood deal and I would give him
he would get players from me thatway. But then when I stopped the
league, I stopped doing that obviously, And now he's out of Valley Stream.
There was nothing. There was verylittle baseball left in Valley Stream.

(01:27:01):
So I'm able to put together mythree or four travel teams, right,
and instructional, very instructional, bythe way, Well, I mean,
and honestly, that's that's why alot of us guys keep it going,
because you know you're in a goodtown. Well, I'm in a good
town. I am in a goodtown. I have to say that,

(01:27:21):
absolutely, I'm in a town wheretalent Richie. It seems like we get
a lot of talent too. Well, we get a lot of people.
You get a lot of people thatwant to keep their kids in youth sports
in our town. Farmingdale is avery driven town that way. Okay,
kids play Oh it's not just baseball. Kids play flag football, they play

(01:27:43):
soccer. Soccer in our town iswell, that's what happened two. They
play every knock of the week atAllen Park. I don't care if it's
January tenth, I don't care ifit's February seventh. I don't care what
day of the year it is.They are playing. Maybe Christmas Day,
thanks Giving Day, they're not playingup there. But I'm telling you,
I drive by that park every day. There's a soccer game going on every

(01:28:05):
single day. They play lacrosse.I mean farming There really is a lacrosse
and football town. See what Ihave street from my house. They play
everything in all Town. Deck,cockey, soccer constant. It's constant.
Valleys, stream is huge for soccer. Soccer is amazing. It's every freaking
day. I don't know how theydo it. I guess because you're just

(01:28:27):
running. I'm at my destination.I gotta go. Okay, Cross,
nice talking to you, Thank you, thank you. Come back next week.
We're on at nine fifteen every Sunday, Live Talk without Cross. Goodbye,
than stopping by, you left yourwater here, you want it?

(01:28:54):
You know, that's the bottom line, and that's why I did it.
Now, I tried giving it.I try given the league to some people,
and this was their exact reaction.I can't do that all right time
for that, right, And Icouldn't get coaches anymore. So I could
get kids. Let's say, Iget the kids that can play or couldn't
play but could be taught to play. Right, who's teaching them? Me?

(01:29:15):
Every one of them? All threehundred four hundred kids. Apparently I
can't. So I was looking forcoaches. No coaches, absolutely no one.
Fathers of any of these kids wouldstep up. None. I would
get like the same people back everyyear, right, that did their kids.
When it came time to start formingthe new my divisions were called.
I was called the RIVERA Division,the Jeta Division, the Right Division,

(01:29:39):
and the Bambino, which was thelittle kids. That's called the slug of
division, right, slug of division. Okay, so my league was the
same we do the rookie aide.I did that too. I did that
for a little while to a doubleA triple A. Yeah, but I
did um. I know, Inever had the major my year. All
that's stupid. But um, Iwould sit there, have juniors and seniors.

(01:30:00):
I would I would spend hours andmajors hours on the phone begging parents
to take on a team. I'dI'd be sitting there. I got sixty
kids ready to do with division.All right, sixty kids, that's five
teams I could do, right,Yeah, five teams even maybe if I
was going to stock them up andjust need four coaches, four teams,

(01:30:21):
and it would be fifteen on eachteam. All right, that was a
little bit much, But okay.So I sit there and I go,
I call up. I go,you saw regident baseball. Yeah, let
me ask you a question. AndI had a thing on the on the
forum parent volunteer. No one willfill it up, right, I'd be
like, what the fuck? Icall these people up and I go,

(01:30:41):
can you do me a favor?I need somebody to coach this team.
I don't know how to play baseballor I don't know well whatever the fuck
they sound like. I'm not abaseball player. I was hoping you'd teach
them. I go me, Igo, yeah, but we need parents
to volunteer to coach the team.I says, there's gonna be a schedule,
and you got to show up atthe field with the equipment and all
that stuff, and that's all youreally have to do. Make a lineup,

(01:31:02):
put them in positions. I can'tdo it. I can't do it.
So I'd be begging people. ThenI actually started making co managers,
Like you have a manager that didthe weekday games, and then the manager
did the weekend. Okay, thenyou'd have it. Just then try to
find the assistant coach. Right thentry to find the assistant coach. And
then the guy would say, Ican't do it anymore. Midseason, can't
do it. I gotta I gottachange my job. Right, I'd be

(01:31:25):
like, I give up. Thenall of a sudden, you get somebody's
mother is doing the team. Yeah, listen, we don't get, you
know, hundreds of guys throwing.I mean, but we get, you
know, we gotta we get enoughthat we can cover our coaches for our
divisions. I mean, but um, but it's tough. It's tough finding
people to volunteer because everybody's because they'reall working, right, everybody's working.

(01:31:45):
It's all volunteer work, I mean, and it's not just coaches too.
It's it's you know, you needdirectors, like you know, even an
assistant to run even divisions, youknow what I mean. I mean,
like you know, we'll get sixor eight teams in triple A. I
mean, you know, you needsomebody to kind of run that, you
know, and get you know,enough coaches for that. I mean we
did five hundred and sixty nine kidslast year. So yeah, you need

(01:32:09):
a lot of people to volunteer,and a lot of people don't want to
because they're just like, like yousaid, though you were going to do
that, Well, isn't that whatI'm paying for? Well, No,
we're all volunteers here, you knowwhat I mean. Nobody's getting paid here.
We're all here doing it so thesekids have an experience so they get
to do something. Just sitting onthe couch out there. If you're listening
and you have a kid that wantsto play some sport, volunteer to coach.

(01:32:32):
Please volunteer to coach. Do it. Look at some videos on YouTube
about how to do a couple ofthings. You don't be an expert at
it. When I build the rockets, people, you just especially like a
seven eight year old team or whatever. All you gotta do is teach some
fundamental stuff, basic stuff, throwing, catching, where the bases are.

(01:32:56):
I mean, you know, allthe little stuff like that, and and
the team and the kids can andthe kids can go out and play,
and believe it or not, theystart learning, even though you might have
you learning at the same time asthem. And you know what, and
your kid is going to appreciate youdoing that. Okay, So so there
you get something out of it.If you don't think you get anything out
of it, or your kid doesn'tget anything out of it, you know,
you get a lot out of it. And it doesn't take that much.

(01:33:18):
It doesn't take that much ever,And it's not all about baseball.
I'd say that all the types ofpeople I go, you know, we're
here to teach more than baseball.You teach baseball is like life. You
teach about failure, you teach aboutadversity, you teach about you know,
you don't. Not everybody wins everythingall the time, not everybody gets a
hit every time. You gotta learnto deal with that. Well, that's

(01:33:40):
life. Life goes along with baseball. So you're learning that too. Hey
guess what, Wow, I gotsomething else out of this. How about
that? Not too bad? Letme tell you, it's pretty damn rewarding.
That's why I still do it.If I'm going on my twenty nine
years, yeah right, so ifafter I'm maybe on my what Zack's eighteen.

(01:34:02):
I start when I was five andwhen he was five aside, so
thirteen years nineteen ninety five was myfirst coaching year. Uh yeah, But
um, the thing is, thekids get a lot out of it.
Um. It means a lot tothem that you're there for them. And
uh, it's you're not doing uh, you're not doing You're not saying to

(01:34:23):
yourself, oh what am I doingthis for. You're doing it for something
really good. You're doing it foryour kids and other kids, and other
kids are gonna look up to you. Yep. And it's not all about
the game. It's like Richard said, it's more it's like sometimes it's just
life lessons. The coach my sonjust spoke to over it. Um,
I was already impressed with this guyover it. Uh. Old Westbury Stephane

(01:34:44):
of one of my son's friends thathe played travel with, goes there well,
Troy Emanuel. Yeah, he's aplaying edge kid. And I know
his dad and they like it overthere. And so that guy, he
came down to a bunch of ourgames. So he said to my son.
He goes, looks like, youknow, you come here, you
gonna play. Because I don't takesixty kids on my roster. I take
thirty thirty two. He goes,and uh, you know, he goes.

(01:35:05):
Put the bottom line is always,he told him. He goes,
if you don't come here, evenif you don't come here, always do
things to the proper way and theproper channels. He says, you could
tell me, but call me.He goes. Don't just disappear. Don't
just not get back to me.He goes, you call me up and
say, coach, thank you forthe opportunity talk, thank you for talking

(01:35:27):
to me, thank you for possession, you know, showing me around the
school. I really appreciate. However, I've decided to go to a different
school. He goes, that's theway you do things. And I'm standing
there, going right there, I'mgoing I like this guy. I love
this guy. Love that guy.So he goes, you do that,
he goes, you can tell me, he goes, And you think I'm
gonna tell you. Ohfu, hegoes. I'm gonna tell you. I'm
gonna sit there and say, thisis a good kid, and if he

(01:35:48):
changes his mind, I'll still takehim. All right, I'll take him
next year, he goes, becauseyou did it the right way. Blow
me off. Don't talk to meagain, he goes. And next year,
when you call me, I'm notanswering. And that's a very good
lesson I learned, folk. Andright away I'm going there's my son talking
to this guy. He's been talkingto them for half an hour, and

(01:36:08):
he just got a very valuable lessonjust from him, because I tell him
that too. You always got todo the right thing, always got to
follow up. Always thank people forwhat they offered you, even if you
don't take it. Always communicate,Always say something appreciative in an appreciative way.
And I look at me all theyears I've been coaching, twenty nine

(01:36:29):
years now this year I own Ireally remember the kids or the parents who
thank me. I always remember them. Like some parents come up to you
and they go, hey, thankyou for your time, thank you for
all you've done for my son.Thank you, you know, And then
there's other ones who take their kidslook at you like like this, like
like I owed it to them,and I never forget them either. Yeah,

(01:36:51):
And when it comes down to doingsomething to somebody, and when it
comes down to doing something for somebody, I'm gonna do for that kid that
that all that came over, andthat kid thanked me. Because some parents,
you see them teaching their kids,they go go thank the coach for
the practice, thank you, thankyou, coach. And I sit there
and I go, oh, it'sfucking awesome. Yeah it is. What

(01:37:12):
a great feeling that is. Huh. I always tell them to thank the
coach. Now. I do long, I do long, very drawing,
very long practices, you know,and I'll keep going till it gets doc
out and stuff like that. Andyou see some of the parents sitting there
like this, yeah, alright,is burning right, you know. But
I always get like this, thosecertain parents who who go, all right,

(01:37:34):
we're gonna go all right, thankyou, coach, thank you,
thank you. They tell their kidsand the kid goes thank you. And
I'm saying, this teaching that kidsomething that's very valuable. You know,
a little respect, little appreciation,it goes a long long way, and
people appreciate that You never know whatsomebody can do for you down the road

(01:37:55):
based on something little you did.And and that's what I try to tell
kids. You never know who's watching, right, You never know who's watching.
You never know who's watching you,and you never know what little thing
you did might eventually pay off someway that somebody remembered a saw. So
there you go, little life lessonshere on Limo Talk. You gotta get
them. You never know who's watching, especially you high school kids that might

(01:38:19):
be looking to play play some ballin college or even any other sport doesn't
matter, Okay, you never knowwho's watching. So if you're out there
acting like a jerk and you're outthere throwing equipment and you're out there kicking
the soccer ball out of the fieldbecause you got annoyed that you didn't make
a play, there's always somebody watching. See. That could be the day.
That could be the day where somecoach came over and said, you

(01:38:41):
know what, I'm looking for anew let's play sent a field or something
like that, right, and hesaid, somebody says, oh, you
go over this Farmingdale Green Dog's fielda game, and they got this kid.
I think is really good. Andthe guy shows up and you don't
know he's there, You have noideas there sitting in the stands, and
he sees this kid and he getsup and it's not so much so that
you gotta hit. It's how heacts when he makes an out, you

(01:39:01):
know. So the kid all ofa sudden throws about up against the fence,
and the first thing that guy thinksof himself, I don't want that
game. Yep. I don't wantthat kid. I don't want that kid,
even though he might have gone threefor four, doesn't matter. Yeah,
and he sit there going on.It's just because there's other kids that
go three for four that don't actlike exactly that kid. And the kids
Joe Damagio, I tell my kidsall this I always tell them is Joe

(01:39:23):
de Magio said this, and itwas something that stuck with me my whole
life. That was my father's favoritebaseball player with Joe Demagio. But Joe
DiMaggio went after a flyball one timeat Yankee Stadium and went all out and
made an amazing catch in a gamethe Yankees were winning like nine to one,
and a reporter asked him out ofthe game. He says After the
game, he says, Joe,he went to nine to one, let

(01:39:45):
that bull drop. You know,you're exerting yourself. What are you doing?
You go and drop? He got? You know, It's like,
no, he went all out.He just gunned it, you know.
And he's like, you played onone out, but he win in nine
nothing. He went to nine toone. What the heck? He goes,
Oh, no, no, no, no, someone's in the stands
today that never saw me play.He goes, someone's in those stands today,
never saw me play. And youthink I want them to remember me

(01:40:08):
as the guy who let the balldrop when he could have gone all out
and caught it. He goes,I am never playing that way. Never.
He goes, you never, Hesaid, you never know who's watching.
You never know who's there that firsttime. First impressions go forever.
And he's like, I'm not I'mnot cheating the fans who came to see
me or us play out of mybest effort, right, And that's the

(01:40:30):
way he played. And I alwaystell that story because that was Joe DiMaggio.
And when Joe Damagio was in liketwo eighty three in his last season
or whatever, it was. Hesaid, I'm not any good anymore.
I'm quitting. I'm quitting. I'membarrassing myself. Now you hit two eighty
three, you're asking for a raiseyou want, You're asking for another five

(01:40:51):
year contract. It's true, right. What did you think about Kreo with
the Mets? You know, Ithought, uh, I had heard and
I don't know if this is truebecause I didn't really fallow up on the
story. Did the Mets go backand offer him a six year deal?
Did you hear that they did?Right? So I thought to myself,
I'm like, I thought that's whatwas gonna happen. They were just gonna

(01:41:14):
the Mets were just gonna say,well, lessen the deal and we'll offer
this tia and that tea and whatever. Um. You know why he turned
that out because I think it waslike six for one sixty seven or somebody
was like still twenty something million money. That was twenty six. There was
one hundred and fifty seven. Ithink it was okay. It was one
fifty seven guaranteed. And if heplayed all the games, you know a

(01:41:38):
certain number of games every year,the other years would have kicked in and
he would have ended up with thatright that long contract. He didn't take
it, and he was like,so, bottom line is this where I
look at it. Yep, youwant the Mets to bet on you being
okay, but you're not willing tobet on him because you're afraid that maybe
something happens and you won't get thatcontract. I thought you want that contract.

(01:42:00):
So the bottom line is, Ithink the Mets did the right thing.
I think Steve Cohen is smarter thanmost people want to give them credit
for right now, because they disappointedthat Kara didn't come to the Mets,
but I'm not disappointed to creating getto the Mets. Because also they kept
Beatty and they kept Ventos and Alvarezand Mauricio at the trade deadline last year

(01:42:23):
for a reason, because they saidthey wanted to build for the future.
You get karaa now what then,why didn't you trade Beatty in the middle
of last year or a trade Ventosor Alvarez and try to win a championship
last year? But they said,no, we got young guys coming up
that we're gonna stick with. Well, stick with them, giving them a

(01:42:43):
shot, give Betty a shot,give him till June and say, hey,
listen, this guy's gonna be athird basement alternating with Escobar. Right,
great, yeah, no, Ithought that. Listen, if you
would have told me that the Metshad this off season of signings, like
you said before, I think earlieron the show, if you would have
told me that and and Corea nevercame up, you'd say that Mets had

(01:43:04):
a great offseason. I mean,Karey was almost like h I mean when
that signing was announced, I waslike geez. I mean, like I
think everybody thought, wow, likereally going over the top. But but
I looked at it, like,you know what, he had the opportunity
to get a player like that nowalong with everything else that he's doing between
the Verlander and the Japanese guy,right, I can remember his name,

(01:43:28):
I'm like, why not? Imean, go go all in with that,
Senga, that's the guy's name,you know, why not, you
know, go all in with thatattach That's what I was thinking at that
time. But the fact that youdon't have Krea and he didn't want to
accept that, that tells you something. To me, It tells me that,
like you, he doesn't believe inhim. Say, he doesn't believe
in that injury is gonna last.And if he doesn't believe it's gonna last,

(01:43:48):
and I'm I'm not spending all thismoney to just have you come here
and beat a bunch of bullshit,right, Cohen, put the money on
the table. It's just listen,you're gonna you're gonna reach certain goals to
earn. Then let them kick in. Let those that concentive ladens, we
want to call it that way.Contract kick in. I'm not taking the
total risk, and you're not takinga total It was your arm. Fifty

(01:44:11):
seven million dollars guaranteed. That's nochicken feede. Yeah right, And I'm
gonna guarantee that you play a certainamount of games every year without getting hurt.
And I'll breaking that ankle that wouldreconstruct an ankle. Yea. Then
you will get the rest of theyear, Arney, and you will get
And then he's like, oh well, then if you didn't have confidence in
yourself, why should I? Whyshould I? And he goes to Minnesota,

(01:44:33):
where are they going? Nowhere?Nowhere? Fest the Yankees once a
year, you said the Magio.Sorry, I had to look it up
because your your baseball stats are justridiculous. What did you say the Magio
batted in the last year of hiscareer two sixty three, but you had
to two in the three two sixtythree. You're always you're always spot on

(01:44:58):
it very bad. And that isand I'm now looking at obviously, his
batting average every year never went belowthree. That was the first time it
went below three hundred, except fornineteen forty six, and that was the
first year he came back from histhree years of military service. By the
