"You're a random person in this, why are you here? Do you like the Bengals or the rage, right? So yeah, that part would be sad, but we would have been quite obsessed with Bo. Yeah. All right. When Joel youngblood got hits for two different teams in two different cities and the same day. That would have been fun. I don't know that it would have given us as much running material but that day it would have been fun to enter about now Babe Ruth going from leading the league with 11 home runs in 1918 to hitting 54 in 1920 would be a wild ride. And that is true. Just anyone who completely revolutionized the offensive environment of baseball going from deadball era to live ball era and seeing Babe Ruth just fully sees that opportunity transform the way that baseball offense worked. Yeah, that would have been fun and that would have been wild in, of course, Babe Ruth was quite an entertaining celebrity aside from the baseball. So yes, the babe would have given us tons of material. I think that we would have spent an entire episode on gala raga's near perfect, perfect game. We would have done an entire episode about that. Even though there's actually not a lot to talk about, like the moment in which it all falls apart is so brief and but we would have had a lot to say about that, I imagine. That one came to me as I was thinking about this, yeah? Yep, a whole episode would be bringing on will leech to discuss the aftermath of game 6 of the 85 point series. That's a good one. I don't know whether we would be bringing on the then ten year old will leach or the current 40 something will leach. But and would he talk as fast as a ten year old? Probably. But that was affection to be. Some of the notorious terrible calls would have been good fatter and some people suggested like Merkel's boner would have been good. I mean, they just want to hear me say boner. They just don't want to hear me say boner over. It would have been tough to talk about because we wouldn't have seen it unless we happened to be in the ballpark and there wasn't is some dispute about the sequence of events, which I guess would have given us a lot to talk about. But maybe that controversy is not as interesting if it's in this era if you just look at the instant replay because so much of it was establishing what happened exactly. And you had.

"Plus off with your bare hand like do you know how many even minor injuries people staying in ballparks. Because they're trying to catch a home run with their bare hands even like broken fingers hands things like that. Yeah i i'm i'm you know. I'm fine if the independent safety council was ever installed and said hey you know potentially you can still break a finger and break a hand or somebody's hand may squeeze your hand which happened to me where i just trying to catch a ball into five hands behind mine. Big guys crushing my aunt from behind. But that's but yes nbc did a study And i it was. I thought it was pretty. Well done a couple of years ago and implied How many injuries. There were over eight to nine year period in the major leagues and the la times. Took the same math. As i did since only four out of the thirty teams participated in the study. They came up with eight hundred. Nate was seven hundred seven From four teams but the other twenty six share data and then one hundred other miscellaneous so number was about eight. Oh eight but if you take the other. Twenty sixteen factor that all in the la times guy came up with forty five hundred. I came up with five thousand now. Those five thousand injuries. Those foul ball related injuries. Not necessarily crushed heads or lost is clearly. I know a handful of those incidences. And i believe this should be. There's probably a hundred more of those lost broken heads and crushed. Lost is unfortunately And i like to talk and conservative numbers. I don't want to say because. I don't know but most people when they do have a very serious injury lost i or crushed face there. They usually very distasteful they feel distaste. They feel like they. They haven't been treated right by baseball. They don't have their medical bills paid for. They don't feel like watching baseball anymore. and baseball. needs to welcome them back. And i don't think baseball can welcome them back because if they do. It would be an admission of guilt. And they can't do that their lawyers just tell them to move on which is a whole thing about the legal and the baseball rule which we can certainly address but about the injuries If the la times is if he's using the right map as i kind of did He said forty five hundred injuries over those eight nine years from two thousand twelve to two thousand nineteen that reported the first date based on all the teams all team supply the data or the independent. I state station supplied data. They said forty five hundred five thousand. That's that's that's where i'm at. I believe those type of yes damage. Finger broken nails. And you know. I guess mostly probably mostly hand injuries. But i don't really know if they're whole foul ball related Could be a lot more injuries than i'm even anticipating so at foul bowl safety now. People have found me and have been able to tell me this story so i hear about their their feelings of today. A woman who i interviewed in the book from nineteen seventy nine. She was fourteen and she lost her. I offer foul ball from sneak henderson. Joel youngblood visited her in the hospital. And she's quoted in my book asking. Where's steve henderson.

And of course during the course of your years as the fanatic. There was a number of things that you had routines. Let me ask you about a couple of taunting the visiting team now. I would think since they have bats and balls in their hand nearby. That could be dangerous situation. How did you approach it. The the one thing. I love to do was work with the the opposing team and they and i got to know many of them out of costume but but for the most part especially the ones that would get involved in love doing it they. They use it as their way to get ready for the game. A lot of the times a new team would come in for three game. Homestand and i'd get a knock on my door and it would be dave parker It would be steve sax You know it would be joe young blood and joel youngblood and they were saying. Hey you know. I've got some friends here. We do something with the and then they brought a squirt gun or whatever it was and and we would get started and everybody would give me credit for it. And i'm like hey they're the ones that are bringing me to the routines But taunting them was was a fun thing to do because they would tell me something about a teammate. That only the team would now. And i would come up with some non verbal piece that the fans would have no idea what it meant but the players did and then you'd get the player that suddenly he was figuring out and he's looking at a. How's the how's he know that and it was. That was my you know like a bonding with with guys. I got the bond with them. And and the fanatic was was my tool that i could bond together and i just had a blast and most of them did not know what kind of an athlete i was so they might flip out a ball in the and i grab it and throw a curveball back to them and they'd go they they will take like wait a pretty good and and You know so. I had loved to have a might my favorite one. Somebody just reminded me of this the other day The the great spitball or from. Oh my gosh. I'm losing his name. fergie jenkins. It's not pretty jenkins. It's no pair. I know who gaylord perry and i. I'm making fun of him. Pre-game in the dugout. He's just got his arms code and he's not in his head and he was a good old southern boy and all of a sudden. He rolled the ball out to me because he knew. Oh i always gonna have a catching the. And i picked it up. And then i looked at. It didn't had vacillating all and it got all over the furniture fanatics hands and that was a nightmare and he's laughing like because he knew what he did to me that i now i gotta go clean off my hands before the first inning and that was the type of comedy they they would steal my four wheelers key. They drive the four wheeler all the way out the center field on a hot blistering hot sunday and then i would see how they took my flirt get it so i'd walk all the way out from home plate all the way at the center feel hot tired. I get there. They had taken the key with them. So now i gotta walk off and and and beg for them to give it a key. And then i'd have to walk all the way back and get the four wheeler because they knew what they were doing dave raymond by doing that and they just you know loved it so those types of relationships are wonderful. It's like being in a fraternity and all your all your frat brothers love you. And they're playing practical jokes on you and then you get the be. Biden's what am i that was that was a.

But i think i had a belt buckle had my name on it when i met my wife and she told him that you know just i don't i don't remember but i'm going with it but the other thing is He got out of lexington kentucky was he went by place for tattoos. And you could finance it. That's good for material right there and he uses it. he said. You don't have to look far or you can find stuff you get it all right. So you're you're with this single a team in the reds organization so then what happens. We go through the season and i'm playing. They have a number one draft choice at third number one draft choice at second number one draft choice at shortstop but russ nixon. Liked something about me. So i would play all three positions and started out at third and then i started moving second short and Then when it came time for the play offs. We had a pretty good little team. He started me over one. The number one draft choices. Where was that team bay. Tampa florida hill. The tampa tarpons all right And so The next year. I had a lousy year of it was a tough adjustment for me. Because you know. I played some decent competitive baseball. But now you're playing every day you're making five hundred dollars a month. You're living with four or five other guys in a house. You're fighting over. Who's gonna sleep in the bed. Who's got the couch. And there was just a lot of adjustments to go on there and But it was wonderful. Because i some of the dear friends among in life for those so the we go to spring training the next year and i start off having a pretty decent spring and they moved me up to aa ball which i thought. Why would they do that. Because i didn't really impress anybody in a so. They moved me to double a. As a shortstop full-time shortstop and i thought wow so that years he was that one and that was in three rivers. Canada twad revere. So i go to canada's a eastern league double a ball and get mvp of the team and make the all star team and and it looked like all right all of a sudden. I'm starting to starting to like this. So then the next year spring training and they say. Aren't you're going to be starting shortstop at aaa ball at indianapolis indianapolis and you know what up until that. Time truthfully tom. I had never really watched pro games on tv and thought all right. If something happens i got a chance to make it to the big leagues. I wouldn't think in that. I just was county and joined the ride along the way and trying to learn as much as i could about the game. And then when you get to triple a. and you realize oh i'm close. That means if something happened. I might be the guy. They call up like next week like now. That's so i just kept plan. Pretty good i got the mvp that year seventy four and played with some wonderful guys. Wait a minute you go from a softball player to an mvp and aaa something was going on. Yeah you're learning the game at a super warp speed at this point i mean you're you're you're you bluff your way into third base position and is that wrong. No no no. I mean just confessed it. God knows i mean he forgives you. I think he does but of something going on there. There's there's there's a like a hyper learning deal that's happening. Well what was that like. Tammy what was i started. Experiment with things defensively Offensively i never was a great offensive player. One reason i think strong eight and well when i made it to the big leagues i was five. Eleven almost a hundred sixty five pounds. Well you look at that today. There's not a player under two hundred or very few because stronger and everything and wasn't that strong but defend eric. Davis aside wasn't it was about. He wasn't very he was probably one seventy five. Maybe one seventy seven zero six one. Six two okay But i was. He was strong though. I wouldn't drowsy. Yeah and so. I just started learning defensively and i got Before that at shortstop. I thought i could make every play so i would throw from everything and then all of a sudden you realize men. I'm making a lot of areas and they're all throwing air so you can't make every single play then. The game gets so fast for you when you go from slow pitch softball to minor league baseball and then from aws aaa the game to start speeding up a lot. What's the biggest jump in their eight. Ada aa aa to aaa or triple a to the majors. Probably w well. I don't know a lot of good players probably a to aa. Aa has a lot of really really. That's where they say. All the talent is playing at major league level. But you also have a lotta guys at all right you know. They know their chris because we had two guys over thirty on our team and they were great team leaders. Sunny roberto and jimmy driscoll great team lead. How king was on their house a little bit older time but on our aaa club. Joel youngblood and armbruster tommy. Spencer rainy night junior kidding dave reverend guys that played in the big leagues. Rawly eastwick will mcenaney santo alcala. I mean guys all made it. Pat zachary made it to the big leagues off our seventy four team but in those days are wondering where to go. I mean what position you're going to play with the big red machine. You got nothing you just lucky to be hanging around in the minor leagues. You're not going to beat out those guys. Sure so seventy five. I go to spring training. Get an invite with not even thinking about making the ballclub. I'm thinking all right. I'm gonna get the hang out with these guys make you a couple of autographs and then i'll get a little bit better. Well i started off having a good spring. And i started hitting. And i can't pitting and i kept hitting the end up setting a record tying a record for the most hits and spring training ever by red. So let me ask you something. You said you weren't that strong. So you're basically just making contact basically yeah and and hitting and letting the ball hit itself in a sense. Yeah trying to move. One thing i tried to learn to do is hit the ball all over the field. You know right field to hit this well when you have to hit behind the runners things that they don't do today. I mean were you good at actually jumping up and button for a base hit not really basic but i could sacrifice bunt very kelly and a matter of fact you probably were pretty quick on the line. Were was quick. But i wouldn't fast i got you. Yeah matter of fact. I bat in a big league was abundant i or set game the season. I'm sitting on a bench. Maximum business. And i hear doug lord they said sparky once you go down to sparky when drano gets on you. Bunny over and i said okay. I'll put the hell on. Go out on deck.
