"Only dare I say the legendary, John hayman, John, how you doing, man? I'm good, Cody. How are you doing? Good, man. Watching you on MLB network daily, you are killing it as always. And of course, everything you're doing with the New York Post. But John, I got a smile mild, very mild bone to pick with you. And obviously, we were all touch on it briefly. Obviously, the ohtani judge thing, I know where you stand, you're very much staunchly judged. But man, you have been so staunchly judged. I've been enjoying the late John haman on Twitter, giving it to people about why judge is your MVP. And I got to say, John, this is bull John, and I'm loving it. Well, you know, I mean, it is MVP and it's most valuable. It's not the best player. Ohtani, I think it's fair to say oh Tommy's the best player and he's been the best player he's certainly the most amazing player incredible but there is a long history, a very long history of most valuable meaning you're helping your team into the playoffs or at least content. So, you know, I mean, that's the reason I'm going with judge, but, you know, I also, in this one year, looks like judge's war is higher. So, you know, maybe at least a corn is some statisticians. He's actually having the better year, the best year in baseball. So I really don't see a call for Otani this united been incredible. He's pitching his amazing. He's clearly in my mind at least I'd have to look at him that vote top 5 for Cy Young, it would power steals bases, amazing, but you know, even the stats tell you that judge is having a better year this year. So I don't see the reason for it, but yeah, I've laid off that for a few days. So, you know, I understand you bring it up, but I've trying to low key it because I have upset all these very low key people in Southern California. They're not happy with me. Which is astonishing. That's a guy from born and raised in Southern California. I can't stress this enough. No one knows the angels are there. I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart. It's we forget the angels exist in Southern California. Until something like this happens. You're right. I'm really not sure why I covered the angels in the 80s. And yeah, they're clearly the number two team and look, look, the LA times, the guy wants to loan the LA times is one of the interested buyers in the angels yet. They don't really, and I'm not ripping anybody who's running stories for them on the angels. They don't really cover the team like you would think. I mean, it's a major league team. That one's a major league team. They have two all time greats on the team. You know, I mean, they seem like they're not always with them. They don't, you know, they don't really give them much play. I don't get it anyway. It's on the newspaper business. But you're absolutely right about that. Not only is the angels portrayed as team number two, that's just in baseball. I mean, in Los Angeles, they're portrayed as team number 43 beneath beneath the LMU water polo team, like they are not no one talks about them at all. It's actually kind of sad, like you said, two generational talents on that team in trout and ohtani. But hey, this has been an incredible year of milestones. We already touched on judge real quick. And of course, even though I am of the grouping that does think Otani should be the MVP. That doesn't take anything away from Aaron judge. What Aaron judge has done this season is nothing short of magical. And I do have a thought on this that the reason why I think is 62 is so impressive. And a lot of people would argue against this. You might be one of them, John. But the pitching in baseball now is so extreme. So high level that the concept of even getting 62 hits in a season at this point, you can tell by the batting averages and the on base percentage throughout baseball. The fact that Aaron judge not only hit 62, but hit nearly three 30, not to mention of nearly a 150 orbit. Every aspect of this is astonishing, especially in 2022. Amazing to have power and a high batting average. I mean, you know, there are guys with home runs. Obviously trout is a guy with a decent batting average and a lot of power, but he's a generational talent, as you mentioned. The league is still hitting under two 50, judges well over 302nd in the league to arise in a year in which he broke the American League home run record. I consider it the home run record. We probably don't agree on that one either, but we know. That's what makes it a ball game. That's okay. You know, obviously Tony is the most versatile player ever. There's nobody who's going to compete with great picture, great hitter, incredible, but judges stolen bases. He's got to play center field. He's bad at leadoff. I mean, have we ever seen a leadoff hitter, lead the league in RBIs? It takes a lot to be the leadoff hitter and lead the league in RBIs. Incredible. Amazing. An amazing two amazing seasons. I'm not taking anything away from Otani. It's incredible. Everybody sees it, but the word valuable to me still means something. I'm not going to go to the degree where, you know, they did in 1942 where Joe Gordon's the MVP because the Yankees won and Ted Williams is winning the Triple Crown and not winning. I'm not going to go to that degree, but it means something. If you're playing games that are meaningful, that still means something to me and that's still equates with valuable. For me. Well, let's just, what else can you call 2022 other than the year of milestones? You've mentioned judge of course making a setting a new record. I mean, 700 home runs has only happened four times in the history of Major League Baseball. So what Albert pools did this year? And by the way, did you think he even had a shot in hell of reaching this milestone this season? 'cause I didn't. Well, now at the start of the year, but when we got into August and he got hot, I actually did say it on MLB network. What if he gets to 700? And of course Brian Kenny, who Putin and said, oh, he's not getting anywhere near 7. It didn't seem like a long shot at that point, but I mean, it's amazing. I mean, he has been the most prolific home run hitter since the middle of August in baseball at age. I can't even get over 40. It's a 137 years old. Well, he's old. He's not a 127. Cabrera got 3000. I mean, there were a lot of good milestones. The Cardinals were spectacular with Molina and pools going out. Wayne Wright hasn't really said. We assume he's coming back, but we don't really know that for sure, but, you know, we figure if he doesn't come back, he will say something got out with the other two, right? But so they've been fun to watch and you're right, you're the milestones. Very good. Yeah, not only that, Dodgers. I mean, what can you say about the Dodgers that hasn't already been said a 111 wins, most wins by a Dodger team ever. And just saying that out loud is actually the most crazy thing to me. Now, I grew up a Dodger fan. Now I could care less whether or not the Dodgers are good. In fact, I root for the San Diego Padres way more than I root for the Los Angeles Dodgers. That's your team. They get in my chance. Why? They're the reason why I get to call myself a big league. I will forever love the San Diego Padres. You are a big leaguer. Whether you like it or not, you have to tell me that. It's fine with me. It's not easy. Yeah, but the Dodgers meant knowing the history of the Dodgers going all the way back to Brooklyn if you want even throw it in trolley Dodgers or even in the Brooklyn Robins into it.

"So not most players, but most homers with the same name is 8, and that was the previously mentioned Joe's because Joe Gordon and Joe grace both hit to that day, although on May 30th, 2012, there was 7 with only four players for Carlos, because Carlos Gonzalez hit three, Carlos Pena hit one Carlos Quentin hit to and Carlos Ruiz hit one. Now those were all the most in a single day if you want to know the most homers in a single game by players with the same name, it's 5, that has happened twice, giant sit Phillies, July 7th, 1979, Mike ivy hit two and Mike Schmidt hit three and reads it giants August 2nd, 1994, Barry Larkin hit two and Barry Bonds hit three. I am not quite done. Although we're getting there, this is a question from Evan that just came in this week. He says, I noticed in last night's 16 to 5 drubbing by the rockies that the Cardinals used three pitchers and each recorded exactly 8 outs or two and two thirds innings pitched. It seems like every pitcher recording the same number of outs would be pretty rare if you exclude complete games for a number of pitchers greater than one, it seems like three is the most likely number for this to happen because it's mathematically possible in any game that doesn't end with a partial inning. How often has this happened with three pitchers and has it ever happened with a different number of pitchers? So Ryan Nelson responds, it's not common, but it's not that rare either by his count, it has happened 1375 times since 1901, the far and away most common method is two pitchers pitching four innings or 12 outs apiece. And that has happened 933 of those times. The next most common is three pitchers going three innings each, and then four pitchers going two innings each. And there have been a couple or a few that have happened just once each, so two pitchers, 8 outs, a piece, I assume that was a shortened game. And then two pitchers 22 outs a piece, that happened once as well, and 9 pitchers with three outs, a piece that happened once, and that was the famous Ned garver game that prompted the first effectively wowed cold call to net garver and as I recall that was the last day of the season, and they just had 9 guys throw in a piece. So this is the 12th the currents of the specific combination that Evan wrote in about and the first time since the tigers did it against the rangers on May 16th, 2013, when Verlander allowed 8 runs into and a third innings pitched and the tigers lost ten to four. So all the data is online there both for the combinations and for the individual games, if you are interested in that too. Okay, this one came in a while ago this is from Richard hirschberger of past blast fame. This is a crossover. Yeah, so he asked a stat plasti question. And this was during the Orioles long winning streak in July, which started when they were under 500, and then propelled them over that Mark. So he asked in honor of the Orioles, what is the longest winning streak by a team that is under 500 and Ryan Nelson says the record is 13, which has happened three times. Wow. So the 1991 Phillies, after starting the year 1458, the Phillies rattled off 13 straight wins from July 30th through August 11th getting to 53 and 58. They would then go 26 and 26 the rest of the way to end the season at 78 84. The 1999 Padres started the season 25 and 39 then won 14 straight from June 18th July 2nd, but the 14th got them to 500. So only 13 of that streak was below 500, they went 45 and 51, the rest of the way to end the season 74 and 88, and then the 1999 Orioles. They started the season 61 and 76. They won 13 straight. The last streak of ten plus for the Orioles until the one this summer to reach 74 and 76, but then they lost 8 of their last 12 to end the season, like the 91 Philly's at 78 84. The 1980 twins almost ended the season with a 12 game streak to get to 77 and 82. They lost only two games after the streak. The 65 pirates had a 12 gamer after starting 9 and 24, and then they went 81 and 48 the rest of the way, pretty good. Although that only got them to third place in the NL and no playoffs in 1965, and finally, the 2004 raise one 12 straight in June to get to within one win of 500 and then they peaked at 42 and 41, 9 and a half games back before absolutely tanking the rest of the way going 28 and 50 to end with 91 losses. All right, last one here, I mentioned that I was going to talk about the guardians again and this is what I was alluding to. So the guardians, as we said, they are in first place as we speak now. And I noticed that they are a very young team. Notably young for a team that is so successful. And I saw that they were just making another call up because James Karen check. Not making the trip to Toronto. And so they are calling up, I believe, a 25 year old Payton Baden field, great name, Peyton battenfield, to replace James Karen check. So maybe he will make his debut and bring down the average age even more, although I did also read that the guardians had optioned their mascot mustard to high a after he failed to secure victory in any of the first 50 sugar Dale hot dog races at progressive field in 2022, mustard the mascot or condiment is 17, according to the story. So his her there, it's demotion, may raise the average age at that.

"Thanks for having me, Dan. That was fun. Awesome stuff. I mean, he's right. I mean, I don't think Russell Westbrook has ever been capable of taking a step back. He's a very proud player and that's been kind of an Achilles heel for him. You know, like at some point you got to realize you're not the same player, people don't view you the same way, and it's now becoming a detriment. You're not going to be a full-time starter in the sleek. And you're hurting your legacy at this point by continuing to try to be. He just have to take a role playing role if he wants to potentially win a championship somewhere and Joe Barton said it. I mean, the Lakers are pretty much stuck with this guy. What does he make like $45 million? Great job, LeBron recruiting him over to the Lakers. Un unbelievable. The crazy time. Plenty more to come up next, I am Dan Schwartzman in for its eyes and right here on the rich eisen show. I do feel like it's different than the problem we always talk about in the regular season where it does think that you paid whatever you paid to go watch this team on a nice February and a third of the guys on planes. This is not that. These are the two teams that are on the brink of a final and they are the guys who can go go and players like Jimmy and Kyle who are clearly hurt, but they're trying to find a way to gut it out. Joe Gordon, senior NBA right here for the athletic just joined us here on the rich eisen show dance Schwartzman in for rich on this Wednesday talking about the heat and Celtics Eastern Conference Finals series tied at two games apiece, banged up players, right?

That's right okay. Let's so the first episode to entertain. I would say that It's a lot of explaining in signaling stating the obvious but it's a primetime soap opera. Oh fine that was that mad at it the casting. I thought was kind of fun now. And then we got into the second episode and i was kind of like some of the reveals like they. Do this. reveal that it's like. Is that a review like bilk. This thing like if like this. I can't believe status right now. In the landscape of storytelling from hollywood. Everybody's milk it everyday just moving along. That's every everytime watches thinking but here. I'm like wait a minute. A slow down. Oh this is my daddy like your daddy got to be creative with the soap opera stuff so after the second episode. I just i was like this.

I believe lee daniels is involved in here somebody stories. Okay dan okay we just got it star. I if you if you like that our kind of people maybe your kind of all. Well let's let's stay black shall we. Because we gotta go to the wonder years on. Abc for listeners. We are we are black so we can do that The wonder years but remember the wonder years. I feel like we talked about this already but i talked about it because i was so excited about it returning to us but in a different way of form and even a but different time we were quite the i dunno where we in the late sixties of sixty nine. I could remember the other one was was that. Wouldn't it be fun if they met each other. Oh my gosh but anyway yeah now. But if they were they'd have to travel. Because this is set in alabama and we and do we know it. Do we know at the first couple of episodes. 'cause something major happens historically that really does hit the family in many different ways. So what are we saying. The wonder years is back. It is the same kind of tone if you remember from the eighties. The wonder years which Put fred savage on the map Fred savage was put him on the map along with amazing. Cast back then in. I remember. i'm really dating myself. I remember watching it and just being like ooh. This isn't just for me like i. I knew as a kid at this. Even though they were it was surrounding by kids. It felt like the continuation. And i do remember it coming out. There's a movie that i think still stands to this day. A wonderful movie. It's called stand by me and it came out in the eighties. And if you took stand by me at made it an episodic but dove into the family of those kids you would get the wonder years. And i know you're gonna make an observation for everybody because we talked about it. But that's the impact that it had on me the wonder years and now it's in a different perspectives on is from a different perspective. Yes it is from the black perspective but the black perspective in the late sixties so. I think we're bound to come across. Some things aren't by the way. Fred savage Drexel the pilot. Yes you better believe it And it is set in nineteen sixty eight. All of that is going on so if you put together what. I sat him with the rest. Said you can imagine what the event is so we have events right we. We do have A family of course just like the original we do have a voice over this time by don cheadle and his character and young version is dean williams now. Dean has older sister but not an older brother yet and he's often vietnam. Oh yes that's right. Yeah not not in the show in that in the house. That's right in house. And he has of course to parents play by delay hill and sakon sink blow so hey crew is oh bill because you know he's like a musician in that kind of thing so you know everything is be cool. Whatever happens now. Is everybody going to be cool for not now. We know. of course that dean has to go to school. He has friends does he have a winnie tight character in his midst us. What is it like winnie. Watch him and find out and of course he has his best friend now. They're the black kids at school class of white kids but a white teacher. So how is national down and this relationship thing that's going on among these three is going to get very entangled. Each as you watched the first two episodes at the end of the first episode there is an echo of what happens in the original at the end of that first episode. But it's a twist on it and that twist how does that make deemed field out. Dean sister of course is all about. Hey you old folks. That has her parents. Y'all are not involved in the movement the right way. So she has ideas about actions when it comes to rights and things like that is she bride whose writings. Not this is always a generational intergenerational conflict which is a part of the wonder years and they have that here. Yeah so as you go through. The end of the first episode tragedy happens just like the original and you see what how that affects. Their.

I mean if they really wanted to nitpick you know he fits our culture. Well who knows what the nfl. I mean they find you. If your socks aren't at a certain height.

Maybe we could get lebron to sign the mid level exam Exemption and that cost like fifteen or twenty thousand dollars when he said it on our show. Final results of the poll question mclovin.

Cincinnati you know the the whole thing with joe borough. We just assuming they said as one hundred percent. I don't think he's one hundred percent and he's not look good in camp at all and it's tricky modern medicines wonderful but the mental part of coming back from an injury. That's the tricky thing. And if you're a quarterback and you've had your knee. Scoped had surgery. It could be your your plant foot as you come forward. And you get nervous when people are around you. I remember having one of my surgeries. And i went to play golf and i i was so afraid to land on my front foot my left foot post on it and put some torque on and eventually you get past it but if you're a quarterback and you step up in the pocket you've had your left knee surgically repaired. That's a mental hurdle to overcome this day in sports history. Paulie i got a few nineteen sixty the first time to. Mlb managers retreated for each other. Detroit traded jimmy. Dykes for cleveland's joe. Gordon that's fascinating. Call them up. Let's see oud one thousand nine hundred mark. Maguire hit his five hundred career home run. He had the fewest amount of bats to get to five hundred. And here's a great one in two thousand thirteen a bud. Selig issued a suspension for. Alex rodriguez does anybody remember how long the suspension was for possession of banned performance. Enhancing drugs four games two hundred eleven game. Oh okay oh that the the old regime they would give you four games for performance. Enhancing two hundred eleven. That's a random number think it's one sixty two. The number was reduced to one sixty two by arbitrator. Is alex rodriguez going to get into the hall of fame. I'm i'm really curious what happens. I mean he got popped twice. He should not be allowed to be on the ballot. If you get popped twice for steroids you shouldn't be allowed to play baseball anymore. The club i remember selena roberts then. Sports illustrated think broke the first story or times one of them and he destroyed her. He's like she doesn't know what she's talking about blah blah blah and then he got popped again. I remember at the time we had her on the air. But that's usually what happens. Alex is done that. Though mike he'll lash out and that's how he kinda counters but Let's see here's one disdain. Sports history rod karoo in nineteen eighty-five collected career. Hit number three thousand on the same day. Tom seaver on his three hundred career game. That was at yankee. Stadium wasn't when he was with the white sox. Receiver might be rod. Career was always one of my favorites just because he'd hold the bat and it looks like it could fall out of his hands like a strong wind. Breeze could blow it out of his hands but he he had this ability he just he could put the bat on the ball. Happy birthday to one of our good friends. Patrick ewing turning fifty nine. Today saw shohei ohtani six strong innings last night. The angels back to five hundred.

Melissa is basically the younger Sister-in-law of theresa jude ice theresa and her brother joe were raised in the quintessential new jersey. Italian american family where they're very Under the thumb of their parents. And it's all about family family family. So when theresa and her husband got married the her husband also named joe joji dice spent an enormous amount of time with the parents and it caused a lot of frustration between her brother. Joe and Joe her husband because it was like is our dad trying to replace me with him. So you've got those issues. Melissa and joe got married and theresa never really enjoyed melissa. She kinda thought like she was not only just taking her brother away from her. But kinda like owner coattails like. Are you trying to be like me. So if you go back and i hope that you do you watch real housewives of new jersey's earlier seasons because in the i got kind of like first season the show theresa's like a stage mom her husband's paying for furniture with tash near like something's up to no good and then it's revealed that they have. The husband has frauded the government with loan documents and of course he goes to jail but in the early seasons. There's a scene where melissa gorgon her husband had a christening for their sun and this whole family dramas playing out and joe jude is teresa's husband. Joe gordon get into this huge fistfight and melissa's kind of in the background so for many years it was like theresa hated ballistic as she was like. This is my show. And now you're on it and like beat off and also like stop trying to be like me and you have seen if you watch from the. I kind of seasons that melissa zahn she sort of this will. She is a subservient wife and she at one point wrote a book about like how the art of being the subservient wife in which which is great about melissa. And i'm glad that you like her. Now you're seeing the best version of her because she is realized especially in the last season in year that she has been emboldened by the fact that she gets an enormous paycheck for being on the show and because of it has had all these career opportunities including owning your own boutique and that her husband who works in construction does not make even a an inch of the amount of money she makes so at first she was like. I'm just in the background. Oh i forgot to point out. She at one point wanted to be a midlife pop star so he built a recording studio in their basement and she had like a one hit. Wonder ish adjacent where she'd like. Backup dancers from like the local community center which was like a fun. Walk through history But now they thought all season because he's very like a lot of cheese. No but i think that what's behind it is that key is so insecure about the fact that his wife is really well known she's become even more beautiful with time and she has this really strong voice and he's really insecure about it so they're at a difficult time in their marriage because she's not rely on him in the way that she always was and i think that that's what makes their story pretty compelling and by all means seems to be a very very nice person that just about sums it up. I mean i don't know if i can remember all that. But wow she's really she's very She's got great style. And is this just as a villain in this franchise or no doesn't sound like it I think the people think that she's too much of like a wuss. When it comes to theresa like the consensus is like theresa runs that show and the show is all built around. Theresa and theresa divorced her husband and he lives in italy now but they meet up in the bahamas because that's the only way to for him to see his kids that they don't like fly. Italy which is crazy. And so joe jude is is like a little meatball like a small guy with like like a steroid body right And and now she's probably going to get married to the sky knee. Louis which you need to do is look up on instagram. because louis Participated in this warrior. Weekend where you go whence you'd like probably cheated on your wife or girlfriend and you're surrounded by other men who lift you up until you you can make this work so unique basically videos and so one got leaked and my friend ronnie karen from watch what crop and says it was probably some queen who worked at the facility who leaked video because louis is in the video. He's like in his jersey. Calcutta axes like you'll. I'm sorry i'm sorry like let's make this work. But it was for a previous wife or girlfriend and his ex wife or ex-fiancee won a bunch put has been doing the rounds of media because she says he was narcissistic and she's on this like mission to to highlight narcissistic man in our culture. And it's just bizarre because you've heard complaining about that. The leaked video and then theresa is convinced that he's the next husband and he totally ingratiated himself with the cast. And it's like he's may as well be holding like annapolis era wrench or whatever they hold in new jersey a slice of pizza and he like loves the limelight. And so a lot of these on the Say he's a sex addict and so theresa's whole thing is like she's constantly talking about how they wanna bone all the time but they know what the gorkhas talked about that too. That's what i don't. It's weird because they have these three kids. And so george george joe. Gora will basically slap melissa's but he's like over sexualizing her. Like that's my. That's my wife like we. We've sucks all the time and it's like really nauseating. But then he has a daughter and us like she do till she's like thirty and you're like okay. What so. I think if you jumped in started watching you should wash the early seasons when they had so many family problems. Because that's my favorite like weird family dynamics. And then the i guess if she was on the out if she had an album cover and i'm sure that she would like to have an album cover because she did have that studio owner basement. It would be like the re emergence of melissa gorka. It would be her rising through the ashes like she's found her voice in the world. Solicit steve carbone. If she doesn't make it work with joe gorka. There is a possibility that you could youtube could make it work. Not what. I was looking for but Gold hoop hunkin wear a gold hoop and a bathing suit.

Tastes like anything could happen in And it never tasted this good summer tastes better with Coca Cola Wherever you're going this week, Don't forget to grab an ice cold, refreshing Coca Cola from 7 11. Come out of here. 7 20, w. G and John Hanson here on Chicago's afternoon news and for us Steve Bertrand here at 4. 39 didn't even realize that the show first hour had a theme to it. But I'm just discovering now that it does. In the first half are we talked about signers of the declaration of Independence that you may have never heard of. I think a lot of people have heard of this baseball player, but plenty more should and here to chat about him. And all of his accomplishment is Luke Epling, who is the author of the epic story of Four Men in the World Series that changed baseball and Luke. I also appreciate that the day we have you on the show. You have an op ed in The Washington Post. Thanks for timing that together for us. Oh, it's It certainly was planned. Thank you. The name is Larry Doby, who on the state in 1947 broke the color barrier in the American League right here in Chicago in a game for the Cleveland Indians versus the White Sox. Larry played for Cleveland, of course, and Luke before we get into more about that team and his legacy. I wanted you to just talk about the 24 hours that Larry Doby went through. Between July the 4th 1947 and July the 5th 1947. Yeah. Larry Doby played on a Negro league team called the Newark Eagles. They had won the Negro League World Series Championship in 1946. He came back in 1947 and was just tearing up. The league was leading the league in home runs. Had a tremendous value an average that was approaching 400. He attracted the attention of the Indians, particularly their owner, Bill Veeck, who decided not to send Larry Doby down to the minor leagues as Jackie Robinson had been before he desegregated Dodgers but to put right onto the Indians, and so on July 4th 1947 Larry Doby played a game for the Newark Eagles, where he had a home run. He rushed through a shower went to Newark, Penn Station took an overnight train. From Newark sensation to Chicago and within 24 hours, he journeyed overnight from the Negro leagues to the major leagues that next afternoon, he students up to the Cleveland Indians. How many weeks after Jackie Robinson's debut Does Larry Doby break the color barrier in the American League? Jackie Robinson debuted on April 15th 1947 Dobie on July 5th 1947. So it's about 11 weeks, So it's not that much of the other difference. And Jackie Robinson desegregated the National League. Larry Doby is in the American League at a time whenever those teams did not play each other except for in the World Series. So really, he was the pioneer in the American League. What was that day? As much of it as we know, like at Comiskey Park, Do we have any Stories about what the day was how he batted, how he did what the fans reaction was. Barry Dobie had come. Larry Doby insulted not learned about, um, the fact that he was going to be the first black player in the American League and told about two days before it happened, so he was still kind of in a state of shock. He had really wrapped his mind. Around it. He comes into the Indians clubhouse. Nobody on the India's those he is. He doesn't really know who hardly any of them are. They line up to shake his hand, and several players in the Indians refused to do so, Um, is the word has leaked out across Chicago that Larry Doby is going to desegregate the American League, so tons of black fans had sort of flooded into Comiskey Park to witness this historic event. When Doby comes onto the field for warm ups, they gave him a very warm ovation. Then Darby's teammates pair up to euro balls to each other to sort of warm up and nobody. Uh, nobody wants to do so with him. So don't be standing there all alone in the middle of Comiskey Park, and it's a sort of hurt feeling that he would reference time and time again throughout his life. He only gets up once as a pinch hitter, and he would say later that he didn't even realize what was going. Going on. It was as though he was in the dream, You know, well, the day before he was in the Negro leagues, and now here he is stepping to the plate on the Indians. He would also tell a writer that the first several times he came up to bat in the major leagues. He was so nervous he could not stop his teeth from chattering. And so he does end up striking out and it's only at back that that day and he really is kind of in a, uh, in almost like a dream like fog. At that time I find it interesting. The two storylines and you detail is so well in today's come The Washington Post the op ed I knew that Jackie Robinson went off to a roaring start, of course, won rookie of the year if I'm not mistaken, uh, but Larry Doby, that strikeout was unfortunately harbinger of his 47 season from July to the end of it, right. Yeah. So he has a second basement in the Negro leagues and the Indians infield at this time in 1947 is completely stocked. You've got Hall of Famers at second and shortstop and Joe Gordon and Lou Boudreau and then you have sort of great player at third base named Kim Keltner. It was only really at first base that they thought Larry Doby could try out..

When did it all happened? Maybe a first game in the big leagues Get into the big leagues was extremely difficult. In my day. You couldn't start in double that You had to start in Class D now because Of the segregation problems and we had our class D team was in Tifton, Georgia. I couldn't go there, so they sent me to Fargo, North Dakota, where I won rookie of the year and I won 21 Ball games became the first half for American to win 20 games in the minor league system. Then I went from Claire. See the Class B, Where won 19 games almost didn't lose a game And then I went to reading Pennsylvania. Classy. We are learned a great lesson because Was 11 in one and I was getting a little bit older, a little bit more confident, and I thought I knew more about baseball than anybody else. I was upset that it didn't take me immediately to the major leagues after I got to be 11 and one slough it off a little bit. Didn't stay in shape, got in an argument with the manager and ended up to season the second half, winning only two ballgames. So it was a great lesson for me to learn at that time that you must not lose focus, despite the fact that you are disappointed in something well, I went to winter ball and straighten everything out and I got a chance to go to San Diego in the Pacific Coast League on 1 18 there and then they brought me up to the major leagues. After that, Tell me about getting up to the big leagues and what that was like. Carbon fell was there, But then they fired. Kirby fell, And then they hired Joe Garden and then Joe Gordon was traded as a manager for Jimmy Dykes, but it was difficult to get to the major leagues. You just couldn't the Cleveland Indians had a terrific ball club. They had a terrific pitching staff early win Bob Lemon Herbie School on How them On Right now Alaska. They sent many pictures back to the minor leagues, but I was lucky that I came at that particular time when their careers was winding down. So I broke that pitching staff and I won my first game. But you know, when you are rookie in the major leagues, everything is huge. Everything was exciting. The road trips was exciting, but Larry Doby was on the ball club when I got there, they say you're rooming with Larry Doby. So I went in the room. Larry came in the room. He says. Oh, you're much cat Grant. I said Yes, sir. Mr Dobie, He said wish bad you want I said Yes. So, Mr Dobie, he said we're going to have to get rid of that. Yes. So, Mr Don't say yes, sir. Mr Dover, Julius Swamp Fire. Grant never made it to the big leagues but pitched effectively in the minors from 1956 through 1969. Swamp Fire had his two best seasons with Monterey in the Mexican League in 1966 and seven winning 38 games while losing only 19 over the two seasons. Mudcat and swamp fire. I would have liked to have seen them together. Pitching in the majors. This is Marty Lourie joined Mudcat Grant tomorrow as he tells.

"Take on the smartest guy in New York. My partner of the great Bernie Makar. Okay, talking about Bon Jovi in New Jersey. Here she is twice this week. Mondays reviewing the Oscars on today doing her regular red carpet one day vou Celebrity look. His idea, friend Lauren Conlan. Good morning, Lauren Eyes. How are you doing? How are you? Always gonna Friday when you're Yeah. Thank you so much. I'm excited to be here. Good dog on a Friday on Mondays are a little more difficult. They were tough. Right? Mondays. Mondays are top. I felt a little weird. I was like, this is crazy. I'm usually super excited and pumped up because the weekend's coming. Yeah, it was. It was different, but it was still good. Okay. What's great job? Thank you. But it's gonna be great, too. So I mentioned Bon Jovi. I mentioned jersey. Yeah. You want one of these? You do want to talk about today? Was the latest installment of Real Housewives of New Jersey. The Flores was the store Wednesday night from the very beginning to the very end, when all the other ladies picked on and job, Georgia who was really, really out of line effective. I see Joe Gordon gonna punch him in the face. You know, I'm not kidding. I know you're not gonna give you a little tough guy. Two seconds. I'll hold him And you thank you. My fish can get in on that. Sure, but I know you want you both to say, by the way. Of newspapers and magazines are all defending the Loris and that they think that people getting involved in her personal life. Her business. Her relationship with David is is really out of line, and I think you feel the same way I do feel the same way and it's funny. I'm not everybody watching the Real Housewives. That's fine. You don't have to watch it to understand that these women and some men were really giving her a hard time because David didn't buy her a ring. He bought her a Porsche Now who cares? Who gives a crap? What he bought her? That's a boy. Boyfriend, the doctor, I guess what I'm saying is who cares where the relationship is going? Why do they care so much? What does that have to do with them? And this is my point in life. Why? The only reason people talk crap about other people is because they're insecure in their own life, right? Or or they want to bring you down because something in their life is going wrong. I I just really I'm so against bullies. I am so against people talking Bad about each other and then being nice to their faces. So this episode really bothered me for that reason and because I know Delores, and I know she's pretty much the nicest woman that's that's ever lived, So it's like, guys leave it alone. What is her relationship have to do with you actually got that big, tough, bald guy turning into a Yenta like that? Exactly. Don't you have better things to do right? You wanna go gossip with the women Go ahead, but I don't even want to gossip. I want nothing to do with that. Like, you know, so stay out of other people's lives. It's just period. Right? It'll make your life better for you. You know, you say that And of course, we're gonna defend the Lord's at every opportunity. Sure, but when you were on that show The whole idea is everybody is in your life. You're taping a reality show. So all of a sudden, even though it's uncomfortable, and it feels wrong when you sign up with that type of show, then guess what? Yes, Theresa, Melissa Margaret, these people all going to in fact, be in your life. So it's kind of a catch. 22 point? No. You make a great point. They their job is to talk smack about each other. I'm sure I just was thinking, you know, in real life here and then this happens all the time Within groups of friends. You know, everybody talks crap about each other. And just what's the point? I'm just, you know. Okay. Can we all just get along with me working on? Hey, listen speaking, she's obviously happy if you want to the ring. She would've gotten the ring. Um not sure. She even wants to wring. My gut tells me she, sergeant so don't worry about it. Okay? Breaks just because she's become a star of the show. Go ahead. Okay. Speaking of rings and close to getting married Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan, the backstory. Of course it they were tight. He impregnated her and he left her while she was pregnant. Right for Giselle Bundchen. No, I don't back in the day while she is praying. Mitt. I think she did You sure? Yes. No, I do not remember. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, Pull the tiki Barber. Okay, so I'm not going to say that. I I sorry. I'm not going to say that. I'm happy about that. But I wanted to tell you guys, Mr America, Mr Clean. No Golden boy. Not great. If he did that, I will have to look that up after, but Bridget Moynahan, she for me. I loved her on sex in the city when she played Natasha. Mister Biggs new wife after he broke up with Carrie, But I great on blue bloods. By the way, I interviewed her on a red carpet. Actually, a year and a half ago, and she was so mean I'm so sorry to say it. I feel really bad. She must have been in a bad mood that night. She was not really that nice to me. I had the footage. It was There's an awkward interview. So maybe you had a Tom Brady T shirt. No, and I made sure that only reference the movie. I did not talk about anything. I wasn't even like Oh, how's co parenting with Tom? But I didn't ask anything like that. It was strictly about the movie, and she was just she was not having me she was characterized her as the B word. I don't want to say that, because, like I said, she could have been having a really bad night. But I she played a drug addict in the movie and I, You know, I think it would be so fun to play something that you're not, and she was so offended that I asked her if it was fun. She was like. She said. It was really challenging. I don't I would never describe it is fun to play something like that. That's like no. It was so hard. I was like, Okay. I'm so sorry. I will just go crawl under a rock. But yeah, so that's my experience with her, But I think it's great that her and Tom Brady can co parent together and not be married. Okay. All right, Fair enough Lady Gaga everybody describing it as the world. The 3.5 people were arrested. The three dog nappers were court. Excuse me. They went just dog nappers. They almost killed a guy. They shot him in the chest. Put a big hole in the guys. They're going to be charged with attempted murder. Yes, but it's being described this dog nappers. I mean, like dogs are more important than the guy who's walking free. That's so weird that they are saying it is kind of second. These and actually, I think they're gang members. From what I read three out of five or gang members went Gary. They weren't exactly like we were saying they went to see them or, you know. I don't know. I mean, yes, but I agree with you. It is kind of strange that they're still calling them dog nappers and not attempted murderers because there is a human life at stake. Not that we don't all love dogs. I I can't say I love dogs. I I like dogs. They're fine. But I mean, I like humans. I really do. I value your lives. I like you. A dog's life and human life. And the media really values dogs lives more of a woman who returned the dog was the what was arrested as well. So she didn't get the reward. Obviously, the $500,000 like nice try, honey, just for doing Right thing like you What? You want a pat on the back for that? Get over it that you learned that, But she was in that. Apparently she was in on it. Yeah, That's what I'm saying. Like you did the right thing. Good job ahead. Yes. So I sort of movie this week. And by the way, did you find Did you hear that? John F. Kennedy was assassinated. So all this movie it was back in 2001..

Here's ron bar jim. Rooney is with us here on sports. Byline he has written a wonderful book about his father. Dan rooney a different way to win. Dan rooney's story from the super bowl to the rooney rule. I mean ask you a little bit about the seventies when the team had those four championships. Tell me a little bit about your dad's involved in how he looked upon the success of the pittsburgh steelers during that period of time. Certainly ron That that was a special time in in steelers history and and really you know created the foundation of of what we are and and again it was about. You know if you if you look at You know we talked a little bit about negotiating the other sort of technical business skill that that i think my father would be known for his hiring. You know we've had three coaches and fifty years You know he was involved in all three of the commissioners election process. You know he was involved in labor and then obviously the rooney rule so so bringing people together and finding the right people for his organization is is probably his biggest skill and he put together this fantastic management team. That was led by coach. No and you know coach nor worked under don shula for for a couple years worked actually for sid gillman out in california for several years in the afl and had played for Paul brown so coach no was was you know sort of this this fantastically talented man and just came in and really you know transformed us from from losers to winners and deserves that credit but my father was the architect. It was his vision. You know my grandfather was a great promoter and a great sportsman but it was my father who really understood. We had to start putting tried and true business principles. We had to create structure. We had to bring people in. That weren't necessarily friends but but really could execute the the vision that that my father had and And then chuck ends up being one of my father's best friends but coming in you know the really. My father had met him before the interview process but he went through a very thorough interview process. He interviewed several candidates. Including penn state's coach. Joe paterno at the time But but chuck came in and really sort of transformed us and he had this great fervor for learning and chuck was a great teacher. And my father. If you look at my father you talked about him. Always broadening the question to the point of view you know. Curiosity was always so important. My how do you. How do you sort of expand your mind set on something. And that was coach noll. He was always interested in subjects beyond football and he brought that to the team. He brought this sense of you. know how. Do you broaden your perspective on whatever the situation is and and i think folks really responded to this idea that he was out for making everyone better you know whether it was talking to someone about their diet back in the seventies which was rare talking to someone about a specific technique or a strategy. You know he had a plan. He had a professional development plan as we would call it today for every player on the team every year training camp you know he would work with each player whether they were gonna get caught or whether they're going to go to the hall of fame and really you know teach them how they can make their lives better and certainly make their jobs better so so you know father bringing him was important but you had bill on. Who was. I think the third african american scout and from nineteen sixty nine seventy six. The steelers draft more players from the stoically black colleges and universities than any other team. You have melt blinds. You have john stallworth. Yanni shell who should two of them in the hall of fame one who should definitely be in the hall of fame but then a bunch of other guys. They're playing those. Those major contributing rule roles like arne homes on the on the steel curtain defense. So you had this great team and it was. It was brought together a unique way. You brought one of the best. Pr men in the business. Joe gordon and joe helps build this brand that now you know. We traveled to california. And we fill the stadium when we play the chargers or in arizona. Where sixty percent. And and all those things go back to the seventies and this sort of vision and the architect that architectural approach that my my father hadn't putting this together and You know certainly something. We're proud of that you know just to see sort of those those themes in that approach carry on fifty years later is Especially yeah let me ask you about a couple of other things in this book We can touch. On booming revenue skyrocketing valuation certainly tell the story of the nfl. But the lake that your dad help build ultimately made him feel uneasy. Why was that great. Great great question. I tried to talk about that. My my father You know he. He never had a problem with people. Earning money. I'd i don't want to come across like that. But he whether it was with the family which he was he was very. It was always on guard with this with players with other folks in the league Even business partners who who i think rolled his eyes at him a little bit. You know the networks and some of the sponsors but he always said look. We can't get greedy. You know like what we wanna do is deliver a product that people want to be part of and part of wanted to be part of something is you don't feel like you're getting taken advantage of. And that was really important to him and you know he would see a steelers fan and there was. There was no bigger part. You know and love the steelers more than my father but he would see someone with you. Know a couple of thousand dollars worth of steeler gear on and and i know this is a little bit presumptive but but maybe assume based on on some other factors. He was identifying that they live in a neighborhood. Where your your house was worth. You know fifty thousand dollars or something like that and that troubled him that that that there was this exploitative nature to big business too big sports too big entertainment and You know he was. He was a voice in the room and probably the last voice in the room. You know always saying look. I don't mind us making profits. I don't mind as being successful but we gotta watch that line of exploiting people. It's just it's it's not right.
