Apologies and Chaos
00:00:04
The Whole Ballgame
Fuck.
00:00:24
The Whole Ballgame
Folks. Folks. We know. It's been over a month since you've heard our dulcet booze-soaked tones, and we're not sorry. Life came at us faster than a Randy Johnson fat thing aimed directly at your nuts. Jobs, bills, failed diets, and one co-host's regrettable vasectomy reversal have kept us off the mic.
00:00:47
The Whole Ballgame
But we're back now, so get off your fucking backs, pour yourself something strong, settle
1994 Baseball Season Chaos
00:00:52
The Whole Ballgame
in. We're diving headfirst into the final chaotic month of the 1994 baseball season. The one that ended with a whimper, a middle finger, and no goddamn World Series as we have covered ad nauseum here on the ballgame. Thanks a lot, Bud Selig, you sexless barn owl.
00:01:10
The Whole Ballgame
This week we're putting some long overdue respect on Tony Gwynn's sweet-ass swing, and we're going to hear from Mickey Morandini again, much to Blake's chagrin and his underrated ability to turn a double play while chewing tobacco like a man.
00:01:25
The Whole Ballgame
What the fuck? I didn't click nothing. i don't know what the fuck's going on. Like a man divorcing hope is what I was going to say. Gwen was flirting with 400.
00:01:36
The Whole Ballgame
Like your uncle flirts with his waitress at Applebee's. Index finger down, pray-ah. Bold, inappropriate, but somehow charming. and And Mickey, that greasy son of a bitch, was holding the Phillies together with nothing but grit, pine tar, and probably a little speed. So buckle up. This ain't a Ken Burns documentary. It's the uncut, unshaved, and slightly hungover version of the whole ballgame. How we doing, Blakers?
Fast Food Cheeseburger Debate
00:02:04
Howling Vengeance
I ordered a filet fish today, if that helps you out at all. And I ate it
00:02:13
The Whole Ballgame
I don't blame you. I mean, that's a that's a pretty good choice on the McDonald's menu. Although I do have a hot take about McDonald's. ah I think that is the best of the big three when it comes to ah a large-scale cheeseburger these days.
00:02:32
The Whole Ballgame
Wendy's has gone downhill in quality significantly. Burger King is Burger King. and And a quarter pounder is pretty juicy hunk of meat, and I ain't mad at it.
00:02:42
Howling Vengeance
You know, I think the Whopper is probably the best fast food burger, but um I don't know. um I was just thinking about that um as I pontificated the drive back from Effingham today.
00:02:58
Howling Vengeance
Jimmy and I drove to Effingham to meet.
00:03:01
The Whole Ballgame
That's a long drive. Holy shit.
00:03:03
Howling Vengeance
yeah we Yeah, we went to the Effingham No Kings rally, met with Rick, um and
00:03:08
The Whole Ballgame
You know, if he wasn't here today.
Rally with Rick and Anti-Basketball Sentiments
00:03:10
The Whole Ballgame
and He didn't tell me that he was leaving. That explains it.
00:03:10
Howling Vengeance
uh-huh.
00:03:12
Howling Vengeance
he he'll probably be back tomorrow. He was going to stay. um Turned out that no rick rick Rick put the thing together and it was it was kind of just me, him, and Jimmy. It is old burned down farmhouse.
00:03:26
The Whole Ballgame
Seems right. Yeah.
00:03:27
Howling Vengeance
ah And he he thought that the ah Reinsdorf was trying to bring the Sacramento Kings to Illinois.
00:03:34
The Whole Ballgame
Sure.
00:03:35
Howling Vengeance
And so it was a bunch of just kind of anti Wayman Tisdale and Mitch Richman rhetoric and stuff like that. And then yeah him and Jimmy hit it off really well, though.
00:03:43
The Whole Ballgame
sure
00:03:47
Howling Vengeance
um they They,

Howling Vengeance
Hey, what's going on here?
00:05:57
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, just no no clue what's ah what's actually taking place and and and no control over it at all. So my best suggestion at this point, these protests look great. look A lot of people showed up even in Dallas, which is excellent.
00:06:15
The Whole Ballgame
You know, and you anytime you you see a lot of people show up in the South, it's a beautiful thing.
00:06:20
Howling Vengeance
Cotton Bowl was packed.
00:06:22
The Whole Ballgame
Interesting.
00:06:22
Howling Vengeance
I heard they had 80,000 the cotton Bowl.
00:06:26
The Whole Ballgame
Heaven needed a champ needs a champion, Blake. That's all I know. ah And what better champion than Donald Trump? So let's let's give them exactly, let's let's let's give Heaven exactly what they need and Donald and and we can move on.

The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, it's
00:06:43
Howling Vengeance
Don't you know what it's worth? Ooh, baby. Heaven is a place on earth.
00:06:47
The Whole Ballgame
fair enough. And it ain't the cotton bowl. I can tell you that right now. um, Phillies Padres, July 5th, 1994 were, ah let's see one month and six days away from, uh, the, the last day of the 1994 season, August 11th, uh, Hulkster's birthday, by the way, uh, August 11th. How do I know that Blake?

And it's exactly 17 days before mine.
00:07:18
The Whole Ballgame
And, you know, interestingly enough, uh,
00:07:21
Howling Vengeance
True world order in alignment.
00:07:23
The Whole Ballgame
That's right. That's right.
00:07:25
Howling Vengeance
He's going to come around, Gizzle.
00:07:25
The Whole Ballgame
Boom, boom, boom.
00:07:26
Howling Vengeance
He's going to come around, you know?
00:07:28
The Whole Ballgame
he You know, we were having that conversation earlier today. We we have to believe that he will. the Could you imagine, Blake sent me a text message earlier today, said, hey, can you imagine if he was just out there actually beating the drum of standing up for the rights of every man,
Hulk Hogan's Influence
00:07:45
The Whole Ballgame
right? And and just living up to that ideal that we all had of this larger-than-life superhero that dominated our youth.
00:07:56
The Whole Ballgame
and And those who don't know what the hell we're fucking talking about, it's... We're talking about Hulk Hogan. um Could you imagine...
00:08:04
Howling Vengeance
If you don't know Hulk Hogan, you shouldn't be listening this show.
00:08:07
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, probably not. um But yeah if you... If you had him out there just, like, fucking... just speak in truth the power and to you imagine how uplifting that would be my god the power that man has and doesn't realize it and and walks around thinking that he's got more than he does because of the choices that he makes it's just it's absolutely insane the kind of uh the kind of good
00:08:27
Howling Vengeance
Thank you.
00:08:43
The Whole Ballgame
good work he could be doing for his outward-facing persona ah if if he were just beating the right drum instead of the fucking wrong one.
00:08:57
Howling Vengeance
I'm not kissing Pete Buttigieg, dude. And and i've been I've never been more but big on the work, dude. Don't work yourself into a shoot, brother. Alright?
00:09:08
The Whole Ballgame
And you end up working yourself into a shoot and the shoot works you and
00:09:12
Howling Vengeance
But look.
Childhood Expectations vs Adult Realities
00:09:13
The Whole Ballgame
you get shot or something, something like that.
00:09:16
Howling Vengeance
Like a shot! ah might get edited out he you know like just all he had to do is just be the fucking guy he was pretending to be on the screen and and and just like you know today i'm talking like i'm not talking when he was you know living 30 and like what else do you have to do today like that you could do that in and be impactful and not just going on a cross-country natural light beer selling tour.
00:09:50
Howling Vengeance
like i didn't i didn't um I didn't think the future was going to be so trashy and dirty and shitty and cheap. like I thought things were supposed to be nicer.
00:09:59
The Whole Ballgame
You know what, though? I think I've actually thought about that a lot. um the thought The thought process behind that. I don't know that that it's... um
00:10:13
The Whole Ballgame
I think a lot of that is perception. When we were kids, I don't know that we understood that the world sucked the way that it does. And so, yeah, I don't think we would have anticipated it being...
00:10:27
The Whole Ballgame
as shitty as it is when we were young like that. And, and I imagine our parents knew and all of the grownups around us knew and they did us an incredible disservice by not fucking telling us.
00:10:40
Howling Vengeance
I'm just saying not every dickhead had his own fucking beer shitty drink to sell.
00:10:44
The Whole Ballgame
Hmm.
00:10:45
Howling Vengeance
like Like, everything is so, like, very...
00:10:52
Howling Vengeance
Like, we live in the goddamn home shopping network anymore, almost.
Critique of Modern Consumer Culture
00:10:56
Howling Vengeance
Like, it just is surrounds us. We're on a path to being and Persian, for God's sakes, with having fucking gold carpet everywhere and shit like that.
00:11:06
Howling Vengeance
Like in South Park, you know?
00:11:08
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, I got it. Absolutely insane. The world that we're living in. But it's fine. It's fine. You know why it's fine, Blake?
00:11:19
Howling Vengeance
I don't tell me.
00:11:19
The Whole Ballgame
Because it has to be.
00:11:21
Howling Vengeance
I have to ask you this,
Speculation on Reality and Time Travel
00:11:22
Howling Vengeance
though, because this did come across my mind.
00:11:22
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
00:11:25
Howling Vengeance
So if if.
00:11:30
Howling Vengeance
This is a simulation, as we pontificated on.
00:11:32
The Whole Ballgame
Mm-hmm.
00:11:35
Howling Vengeance
Time travel would have to be possible in a simulation, right? Because there there has to be an archive. Everything is archived.
00:11:44
The Whole Ballgame
Correct. Yes.
00:11:46
Howling Vengeance
So. The only way that time travel would not be possible would be if if this were not a simulation. I mean, not the only way, but it wouldn't.
00:11:57
The Whole Ballgame
That's, that's the way I like to interpret it. Absolutely.
00:12:00
Howling Vengeance
Mm hmm.
00:12:02
The Whole Ballgame
Yep.
00:12:03
Howling Vengeance
So.
00:12:03
The Whole Ballgame
That's correct.
00:12:05
Howling Vengeance
If it is indeed, then then that means we can indeed go back.
00:12:05
The Whole Ballgame
Um,
00:12:13
The Whole Ballgame
Hey, hey, I'll be here on standby. You just let me know what you need, baby. Okay?
00:12:18
Howling Vengeance
I guess we're covered either way, but the rest of you fools can figure it out.
00:12:20
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
Love for Podcasting Amid Chaos
00:12:22
Howling Vengeance
Or you can go over to patreon.com and slash the whole ballgame and, you know, pretend for money, too.
00:12:31
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, do us that favor. Go ahead and slash the whole ballgame. And, uh... ah look, you know, it's been like five weeks since we recorded.
00:12:43
The Whole Ballgame
So like, uh, you know, make it, make it so that we fucking have to do this. Right. Like we enjoy doing this. This is fun. Like Blake texted me earlier today and was like, Hey, what time you want to do this tonight? And I was like, fuck, I forgot. We're going to do this thing.
00:12:59
The Whole Ballgame
Thank God. It's been such a long time. And I had a really fucking shitty day, probably not getting into that one. But, uh, who the fuck am I kidding? Stay tuned.
00:13:09
Howling Vengeance
Oh no.
00:13:10
The Whole Ballgame
Uh, well, maybe, maybe we're not going to get deep into the, the the gory details, but, but it's bad.
00:13:16
Howling Vengeance
You can run the Razor if you want.
00:13:18
The Whole Ballgame
You can, I guess we should. uh, the number one movie at the box office, uh, well, there's a scene that we'll get there. It's fine.
00:13:29
The Whole Ballgame
Anyway, uh, it's, uh, it's just really nice to be back to, uh, to recording again, and ah we get to watch a ball game tonight, and I get to annoy the shit out Blake with Mickey Morandini's presence, which is always a fun thing.
00:13:45
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, it's wonderful. I'm going to really engage with that.
00:13:49
The Whole Ballgame
Oh my goodness, number one.
00:13:52
The Whole Ballgame
let's see here. um ah I'm currently searching, just so you guys get an understanding of exactly what goes into making this. We don't prepare it all until we're actually on the ah the fucking thing recording, so I'm actually looking up the ah Billboard Hot 100 from July 5th, 1994, just so that we can talk about music later on.
00:14:00
Howling Vengeance
Mm-hmm.
00:14:13
The Whole Ballgame
um
00:14:14
Howling Vengeance
Thanks for explaining that to us all, Gabe.
00:14:14
The Whole Ballgame
So, yeah, no, I knew you'd be pretty pretty excited about that.
00:14:20
Howling Vengeance
Could least counted us down before and then did all that bullshit. The clock could have been running, but you know I know you tried to get it going a couple times and I stopped you, so that's kind of why I'm doing this.
00:14:24
The Whole Ballgame
yeah
00:14:34
The Whole Ballgame
fuck you the uh the link for the ball game is as always in the show notes so we're gonna go ahead and
00:14:36
Howling Vengeance
Eyebrows up, pal.
00:14:45
The Whole Ballgame
ah count this sucker down and jump right in. It's ah and not a pretty mid-range length ball game, but ah what I'm enjoying here is that we get a lot of the the ins and outs of the local broadcast, which is always fun.
00:15:02
The Whole Ballgame
I believe this is a local Phillies broadcast this time around.
00:15:04
Howling Vengeance
a
00:15:05
The Whole Ballgame
So ah we'll count this down. going to go from three to one. I'll say play and you'll hit play and we'll do the whole thing. You have this thing up, right?
00:15:15
Howling Vengeance
Oh, it's up, baby.
00:15:17
The Whole Ballgame
All right.
00:15:17
Howling Vengeance
baby. Oh, baby.
00:15:19
The Whole Ballgame
Oh, baby. All right. In three, two, one, play. Our regular programs will not be seen tonight. Now stay tuned for Philadelphia Billies at the San Diego Padres. It's BHL 17 Sports.
00:15:35
Howling Vengeance
It was always amazing to be notified about your regularly scheduled programs not being on.
00:15:40
The Whole Ballgame
Isn't that great? We got a beautiful intro here of ah some beautiful brown dirt, a catcher's mask, Louisville slugger, baseball, a glove, Phillies hat, couple of tickets to the game, and ah zooming in on that LED screen, Phillies, National League champions on PHL 17 sports.
00:16:05
Howling Vengeance
Beautiful Jack Murphy Stadium. The Murph.
00:16:10
Howling Vengeance
Padres in the, I believe, the second second year of their a logo rebranding refresh. I was a big fan of it.
00:16:24
Howling Vengeance
Look at this guy. This is, it's, it's he he looks like fucking Smalls from the Sandlot, but he if he's 90 with that goddamn hat.
00:16:36
Howling Vengeance
Richie fucking Ashburn.
00:16:38
The Whole Ballgame
but and Let me explain to to our fans who aren't watching what we're looking at here. This man is wearing a powder blue suit with lavender striped tie,
00:16:53
The Whole Ballgame
a pair of aviators, sunglasses, and probably, and a, uh, a powder blue baseball cap, no logo, just a completely plain hat.
00:16:56
Howling Vengeance
Possibly cataract glasses.
00:17:07
Howling Vengeance
like ah a six-foot bill, like the one the kid in the sandlot wears.
00:17:07
The Whole Ballgame
Uh,
00:17:14
The Whole Ballgame
Correct. And now now we go to the other side of Harry Callis here. And Chris Wheeler ah is wearing a hat all his own, isn't
00:17:14
Howling Vengeance
And then...
00:17:22
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, he has some interesting headwear as well. Appears to be... Yeah, baby, on his head, baby.
00:17:31
The Whole Ballgame
he? There's no question about the legitimacy of Chris's hairpiece here. Jesus Christ.
00:17:41
Howling Vengeance
How insecure do you have to be to walk around with that on your fucking head, man? Look at that fucking smile. What a creep. Hey, it's Joey Hamilton.
00:17:51
The Whole Ballgame
um And then, of course, we've got Harry Callis in the middle. Hey, hey, there's only room for one Harry on this broadcast.
00:18:01
Howling Vengeance
Oh, yeah, it is another Harry in it. That's another legend.
00:18:03
The Whole Ballgame
I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like, you know, people talk about that all the time. Oh, Harry Carey, Harry Callis, the two famous Harry broadcasters.
00:18:14
The Whole Ballgame
Let me ask you a question, Blake. You know what a callis is?
00:18:16
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
00:18:18
Howling Vengeance
What do you mean, Mark?
00:18:21
The Whole Ballgame
Like hairy, hairy callus.
00:18:22
Howling Vengeance
Oh, yeah. I mean, it's his last name.
00:18:24
The Whole Ballgame
You know what a callus is?
00:18:26
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, I know what a callous is.
00:18:28
The Whole Ballgame
It's a bunch of dead skin growing on top of itself over and over and over.
00:18:31
Howling Vengeance
Uh-huh.
00:18:34
The Whole Ballgame
And you throw a hairy in front of it. What do you get?
00:18:37
Howling Vengeance
Uh-huh.
00:18:38
The Whole Ballgame
You get a hairy bunch of dead skin.
00:18:40
Howling Vengeance
Okay.
00:18:40
The Whole Ballgame
Look at him. Look at his prick. I don't like it. Not one bit.
00:18:42
Howling Vengeance
Oh. You know, I never took you for the jealous type, Harry.
00:18:47
The Whole Ballgame
Hey, who said anything about jealousy? There ain't nothing about jealousy going on here. It's not professional jealousy. I know I'm better than he ever was. I just don't like being put in the same sentence with this motherfucker all the time.
00:19:02
Howling Vengeance
Why did it say it's professional jealousy? I thought it more to be personal myself. Uh-huh.
00:19:07
The Whole Ballgame
Well, let me tell you one thing. The reason I don't like this guy, he voted for Reagan.
00:19:13
Howling Vengeance
Oh, okay. This makes sense now.
00:19:15
The Whole Ballgame
Goliath, goddammit.
00:19:17
Howling Vengeance
ah Old Dutch.
00:19:19
The Whole Ballgame
Uh-huh. He went ahead and admitted that to me the other day. By the way, we're getting commercials here. You got a Budweiser commercial, and now we've got a Denny's commercial for the Denny's Grand Slam for $1.99.
00:19:25
Howling Vengeance
Yeah. $1.99. $1.99. Can you believe that? Fucking hell. Not very long.
00:19:37
Howling Vengeance
i can help
00:19:37
The Whole Ballgame
Christ almighty.
00:19:40
Howling Vengeance
not very long and much How much is this Hyundai Sonata going to cost yeah
00:19:43
The Whole Ballgame
certainly not thirty years
00:19:51
The Whole Ballgame
$13,299, everybody, for a brand new 1994 Hyundai Sonata.
00:19:53
Howling Vengeance
you?
00:19:57
Howling Vengeance
That's pretty pricey for 94, isn't it? Feels like it is.
00:20:01
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, it's probably about equivalent what it is now. Probably worth, well, let's find out. Pull up the old inflation calculator.
00:20:08
Howling Vengeance
That's got to be like 32 in the today's money.
00:20:10
The Whole Ballgame
I would imagine 36 is where my head went, but.
00:20:14
Howling Vengeance
Oh, here's my favorite part. Jim Fergosi's lineup. Milt Thompson in center. Mariano Duncan in third. Tony Longmire in left.
00:20:25
Howling Vengeance
John Kreck at first. Jim Eisenreich in right.
00:20:32
Howling Vengeance
Second base is Mike Lieberthal behind the plate. Kevin Stocker at short. And Bobby Munoz on the mound.

Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
00:21:38
The Whole Ballgame
It's a West Coast game. Absolutely.
00:21:42
The Whole Ballgame
The amount of times during the 2005 season that I was up real late listening to White Sox ah athletics games, ah because they they I think they went to Oakland like three times that season for like for four, seven, like 10 games.
00:21:42
Howling Vengeance

Mariano Duncan. Would you have called ah Milt Thompson a BMF?
00:22:11
Howling Vengeance
no I don't think so.
00:22:12
The Whole Ballgame
No.
00:22:13
Howling Vengeance
He's just, you know, whatever that that category below that is, maybe, but and and not enough power would probably be what I would say.
00:22:13
The Whole Ballgame
Okay.
00:22:23
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
00:22:24
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
00:22:24
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah. Whoa. That was a steer right. If I ever saw one, he, he'd knocked the hat off the the kid in center field waiting for a home run ball. Big whiffer.
00:22:36
Howling Vengeance
You know, Mariano, I believe it was earlier, and I think it was in May, but ah he gets beamed and it starts a brawl between these two ball clubs. So there is some bad blood already established in the season.
00:22:50
The Whole Ballgame
hu
00:22:54
The Whole Ballgame
How do you remember that?
00:22:56
Howling Vengeance
I googled it earlier today.
00:22:57
The Whole Ballgame
That it was 94. Oh, okay. All right. Got it.
00:23:02
The Whole Ballgame
Good enough. So he's actually doing research, folks, unlike me. So it's a wonderful thing that one of us is prepared.
00:23:07
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, I'll do a quick search to see if something pops up on the first part of the screen, and that's about it.
00:23:17
Howling Vengeance
You got it.
00:23:18
The Whole Ballgame
100% more than what I've done. So here we go.
00:23:20
Howling Vengeance
I mean, I did write this game down on a list about two years ago, so.
00:23:25
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, i was goingnna I was going to mention that earlier. That that that ball gets through oh on what I believe will be ah marked as an error.
00:23:34
Howling Vengeance
i don't know. He hit it pretty hard. I'd call a hit.
00:23:39
The Whole Ballgame
Either way, I was going to bring this up. ah ah we're just We're like two months away from our two-year anniversary of doing this ball game podcast.
00:23:51
The Whole Ballgame
You know that?
00:23:52
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, I've thought about that. It's went very fast. It's amazing as much...
00:23:56
The Whole Ballgame
I mean, look, we had a, we had a quite a hiatus, but, but nonetheless.
00:23:59
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
00:24:03
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, especially as painful as these last couple of years have been the fact that they went this fast is surprising. But I think that just speaks to death creeping up quickly on us. Look at this fucking guy. I'd forgotten all about Tony Longmire.
00:24:17
The Whole Ballgame
Tony Longmire.
00:24:20
Howling Vengeance
bet Rick likes him. He's got some biceps on him. Too bad he's in effing ham trying to keep fucking fucking goddamn Jason Williams out of town.
00:24:26
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
00:24:32
Howling Vengeance
I can't even think of a good king after Mitch Richmond and Wayman Tisdale, for God's sakes.
00:24:39
The Whole Ballgame
ah Who else played for the King? ah Did... ah
00:24:43
Howling Vengeance
Well, like Weber and when they got good in 2000s and shit, but I wasn't really watching by then that much.
00:24:49
The Whole Ballgame
I was thinking of the guy that was in Memphis...
00:24:50
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
00:24:52
The Whole Ballgame
or not Memphis, in Washington. Didn't he end up in Sacramento? Gilbert Arenas? Was he in Sacramento?
00:24:58
Howling Vengeance
He went to Golden State, I think.
00:25:00
The Whole Ballgame
Golden State. Okay.
00:25:07
Howling Vengeance
Tony's... Tony's probably on PEDs, I think. I don't know.

The Whole Ballgame
Ian, does that make sense?

00:25:54
Howling Vengeance
Oh, 643. Taylor made, baby.
00:25:58
The Whole Ballgame
That's that. ah We head to the bottom of the first. It's no score here at Jack Murphy Stadium, ah which is gone now, I assume, because of Petco Park, right? Petco Park is in its place.
00:26:10
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, I would assume they've torn it down, but Jesus.
00:26:15
The Whole Ballgame

00:26:16
Howling Vengeance

00:26:17
The Whole Ballgame

Howling Vengeance
well Steve, like everything else, used to be better.
00:26:50
The Whole Ballgame
Jeppy actually own is part owner of the Orioles as well, or has a stake. And maybe that's not the case anymore, but he did at one point for sure.

The Whole Ballgame

The logo just changes depending on the team.
00:28:19

Howling Vengeance
I was watching an NBC game of the week and it was the Astros and the Dodgers from the Astrodome. And before the game, well, was the broadcast team, was Vince Scully and Garagiola.
00:37:02
Howling Vengeance
But they have the old timers game, all these fucking guys out there in their old uniforms, like, you know, playing a fucking ball game.
00:37:13
Howling Vengeance
And they're like really playing, not like fucking around with a softball or something. And why don't, why don't we do that anymore? Like, why isn't Barry Larkin out there and fucking Mike Piazza and Big Hurt and Junior and all those guys like,
00:37:33
Howling Vengeance
Is it because the other, because those guys needed the fucking payday back then? as well Is it that simple?
00:37:43

One of those, yeah, they probably had the chandeliers gone by then.
00:38:27
Howling Vengeance
Anyway, back to the old timers though. Is that it? Like they just say they'd fuck it today. Like you'd think they'd want to do it. Like it'd be fun, but I don't know.

Howling Vengeance
John Kruk looking extra nasty.
00:38:46
The Whole Ballgame
Indeed, former White Sox, John Kruk. he last Last team he was with, as a matter of fact. I think one day he just said, fuck it, and walked away, if I remember that story correctly.

The Whole Ballgame

00:43:10
Howling Vengeance
Well, Richie Ashburn called it the Texas Longhorns, while it's clearly a Texas Rangers hat, so that's that's good.
00:43:10
The Whole Ballgame

The Whole Ballgame
Hamilton just popped him directly in the elbow.
00:44:27
Howling Vengeance
but
00:44:29
The Whole Ballgame
That is at least going to cause a pretty nasty hematoma if it didn't give him bone chip or two.
00:44:30
Howling Vengeance
That's...
00:44:36
The Whole Ballgame
My goodness. And with the kind of ah animus that's between these two ball clubs already, you got to imagine that this is going to inflame tempers all over the place here at Jack Murphy on this a hot summer night 1994.
00:44:52
Howling Vengeance
I feel like you could hear it.
00:44:54
The Whole Ballgame
Yes, you could absolutely hear it. That was disgusting.
00:44:57
Howling Vengeance
It's it sounded sounded very bad.
00:45:10
Howling Vengeance
Would not disable him according to Whitey Ashburn.
00:45:16

00:45:20
The Whole Ballgame

Howling Vengeance
High top.
00:46:04
The Whole Ballgame
Oh, they're high tops. Nice.
00:46:28
Howling Vengeance
You looking at porn?
00:46:30
The Whole Ballgame
No, no, I was looking stuff up to try to, because like some of these names I'm completely unfamiliar with, so i was trying to figure that out. ah the The interesting thing to me with this is these have to be some of the first rotating ads behind home plate, no?
00:46:54
Howling Vengeance
damn Yeah, probably. Like, I think once they started... Yeah,
00:47:00
The Whole Ballgame
Oh, you hear the crack of the bat on that one? That was fantastic.
00:47:04
Howling Vengeance
they got those things mic'd up pretty nice. Once they started, like, kind of renovating the dual... Oh, save a second. These, like, dual-purpose stadiums, and they started to, like, try I don't know, make them a little more not so...
00:47:25
Howling Vengeance
and and I don't try to get personality, I guess, but it seemed like whenever they did that, they kind of put those in and like Oakland and here and Houston even because they had the fucking Oilers back then.
00:47:36
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
00:47:43
The Whole Ballgame
Just to let you know what happened here, is ah it was a sack fly. Runners both tagged up. Phillies scored there. Lieberthal slid in a second on a very close play and was called safe.
00:47:59
The Whole Ballgame
He was definitely safe, but it was just by a split second. My favorite part of the whole thing, however... was not Mickey Morandini making it to third. It was Lieberthal stands up and lifts the the buckle on his belt and just ah about a pound and a half of dirt falls out on the ground because of the slide.
00:48:24
Howling Vengeance
Gabe, do you know how he made it to second base? It's because he had the hope molecules.
00:48:35
Howling Vengeance
He was full of hope, not fluorine.
00:48:40
The Whole Ballgame
We head to the bottom of the second. It's tied up at one.
00:48:47

00:50:13

01:00:15
The Whole Ballgame
Wonderful. ah You know, I got Dustin Rhodes phone number two. Should we call him on the show?
01:00:21
Howling Vengeance
I think we should call him the natural, if we call him anything.
01:00:24
The Whole Ballgame
and
01:00:26
Howling Vengeance
He would get fucking pissed. Like, he, God, he would
01:00:29
The Whole Ballgame
Belligerent.
01:00:32
Howling Vengeance
He would um keep stepping fucking ass fat. Something like that.
01:00:40
The Whole Ballgame
He'd get so mad he couldn't put words together. Yeah, absolutely.
01:00:48
Howling Vengeance
Now this is a man who has legs that scream Rick Rush will come take me away. Look at his thighs.
01:01:03
Howling Vengeance
Thank God JR is not on our show. God knows what he would call it.
01:01:13
The Whole Ballgame
Hmm.
01:01:15
Howling Vengeance
Well, since you boys asked, I guess I'll pop up and I'll let you know.
01:01:15
The Whole Ballgame
What would he? Oh, God damn it.
01:01:19
Howling Vengeance
I would probably call him some sort of racing stallion, like a Black Beauty or something.
01:01:30
Howling Vengeance
And then i I'd go to the boss I'd say, hey, Vince, Let's bring this Thompson fellow in and put him with Mark Henry and we'll call it Black Beauty and the Silverback.
01:01:40
The Whole Ballgame
Perfect. I have Bischoff's number still, too.
01:01:44
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, fuck him.
01:01:46
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, that'd be fun to get him on the podcast, don't you think? He'd very quickly but ah claim that it was his idea.
01:01:55
Howling Vengeance
I'd be scrolling through Facebook and see a fucking reaction shot of a YouTube video of him looking sideways into the distance like a Faith Plus One album.
01:02:08
Howling Vengeance

01:02:19
Howling Vengeance
Jesus.
01:02:19
The Whole Ballgame
What you got to understand is that it that when you're telling stories, you have to have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
01:02:30
Howling Vengeance
Right.
01:02:30
The Whole Ballgame
that's what I like best about how I put together your podcast is because you're you're constantly telling stories, right? And if anybody's listening, which, you know, could be, might not be, they know that you're the ones out there telling the story.
01:02:47
The Whole Ballgame
That's why they're sticking around, is because they're waiting for the end of the story.
01:02:54
Howling Vengeance
I don't think you said you anything at all there. Talk about story, but...
01:02:59
The Whole Ballgame
ah Agree to disagree.
01:03:01
Howling Vengeance
Man, you could just say it's all story and leave it that.

01:03:19
Howling Vengeance
Anytime anybody's telling you that you got it all wrong, by the way, you most assuredly don't have it all wrong. You might not have it all right, but you're pretty close to right.
01:03:26
The Whole Ballgame
You we got it completely right.
01:03:30
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah. It's true.

01:30:38
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, it's nuts that he didn't just go. Like, you just go on something like that, I would imagine.
01:30:45
Howling Vengeance
Let me ask you this.
01:30:46
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, what's up?
01:30:48
Howling Vengeance
How is it that
01:30:52
Howling Vengeance
And then, you know, I could be wrong, but it feels that, like, at the time, more people cared about baseball than, on average, than they do now.
01:31:05
Howling Vengeance
But you could watch a game today, and, you know, there'd be twice as many people in this stand. Like, you know, there's fucking all sorts of empty seats all over a goddamn place. And yeah, it's bigger stadium and all that, but, like,
01:31:21
Howling Vengeance
It was an uncommon for, you know, there'd be 12, 15,000 people or something at a fucking game back then a, you know, whatever night.
01:31:24
The Whole Ballgame
Thank you.
01:31:32
Howling Vengeance
Whereas seems like today they get, you know, 30,000 or so most of the time, but on the whole, it's, they don't, people don't seem to care as much.
01:31:44
Howling Vengeance
That's at least how it feels to me. I don't know if that's just people go to shit just to go to shit. and it They don't care about it. I don't know.
01:31:56
The Whole Ballgame
Well, i think I think the emptiness here is about, like, specifically, this was a Tuesday after ah what was probably ah ah three-day weekend for most people, right?
01:32:11
The Whole Ballgame
So, like, I would imagine there's a lot of people worn out from the weekend, to the holiday weekend, and they just, they're either traveling home from wherever they ended up for the 4th of July, or they were doing shit all weekend and they didn't have a baseball game in them.
01:32:28
The Whole Ballgame
You know, that's my guess.
01:32:29
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, but even like, you know, you watch the Braves games or as Cardinals games even know when they're good and shit. And there's just, there's like some nights, there's just not very many people there.
01:32:44
Howling Vengeance
And I don't know. I guess, I think to me, it feels like it's more that I think people go to stuff just to have something to do and not even necessarily give a fuck about it where I think probably everybody in that stadium fucking cares, you know, to some degree.
01:33:02
Howling Vengeance
Or at least there was somebody.
01:33:05
The Whole Ballgame
Hey, hey, hey, Blake, I don't mean to interrupt you. Who's this man that just hit that ball? All
01:33:11

This was the night I found out that my 11 year old son had choked to death on jelly beans.

oh
01:46:38

Jesus Christ.
01:46:39

And so I, you know, I went out there and I tried to play the game as best as I could, but you know, uh, president Reagan had sent him a ah nice care package in the mail of, uh, his favorite jelly bellies and, and, and little Johnny, he, uh,
01:46:56
The Whole Ballgame
he he He ate too many at one time. i think he had one of those buttered popcorn guys, which is my personal favorite of the Jelly Bellies. And he choked to death right there in front of my wife.

Thank you.
01:47:10
The Whole Ballgame
And, you know, I just wasn't on my game this night. And, you know, i no excuses. You know, I could have very easily. I mean, right here, this situation right here is perfect setup for an unassisted triple play.
01:47:23
The Whole Ballgame
And I don't get it done. I don't get it done here. I got it done once. Uh, but, uh, certainly, you know, in, in a lot of circumstances, I, I have a chance, a real chance to, to get it done regularly.
01:47:35
The Whole Ballgame
mean, right there, they, they stole that base and the throw from, from my catcher there, uh, Lee, Lee, Lee, or whatever his fucking name is.
01:47:43
Howling Vengeance
uh
01:47:44
The Whole Ballgame
Uh, I, uh, it was, it was a piss poor throw. I mean, if I'm being real honest with you, but, uh, you know, uh, i i do I do appreciate my time with the Phillies, and clearly they appreciate my time with them as well because they've given me this kind of ah ambassador role with the club. and you know i was I had the the opportunity to become a head coach in their their their farm system for many years, and now I just get to relax and schmooze with politicians and local business folks and ah hang out in the club lounge at games. and
01:48:22
The Whole Ballgame
eat my weight in, uh, chicken satay skewers and, uh, uh, really, really do enjoy it quite a bit. And, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll, we have, uh, I convinced the, uh, you see, there you go. I made it up for you there.
01:48:37
The Whole Ballgame
Uh, retire the side on that one. Nobody's getting past me. No, sir. Anyway, uh, ah we'll we'll have conversations about that unassisted triple play. I convinced the ah the the broadcast folks at the ballpark who put together the the little the little videos is there, the play on the internal televisions throughout the evening ah to include the full clip, the full ending of that that particular
Historical Baseball Events
01:49:03
The Whole Ballgame
play so that you know several times an hour, depending on who I'm talking to, I can stop down and we'll sit
01:49:10
The Whole Ballgame
we'll sit and we'll watch it and I'll explain exactly how it is that it worked out that I was able to to create the uh the first uh uh well the eighth rather eighth on a fit unassisted triple play in league history and and uh you know there's only 15 total at this point uh as of today Blake I don't know if you knew that little tidbit but I uh like to throw that in for folks as well and uh I just, I'll tell you what I really appreciate is is when people ask me about it and they they don't have any sort of preconceived notions about who I am or what i what I do outside of the fact that, you know, I just, I want to i want to proliferate the message of baseball throughout the world. and And as this sort of role with the Phillies as an ambassador, I don't really have ah anything else to do except do that, which is ah pretty great. and
01:50:03
The Whole Ballgame
ah You know, ah my wife Linda and I, we mourn Johnny every day. And ah I still vote Republican just because I don't hold anything against so President Reagan or nothing. I think it was just an accident that he killed my son, but allegedly.
01:50:23
The Whole Ballgame
ah But yeah, that's I think that about wraps things up.
01:50:28
Howling Vengeance
My condolences on your dead child, Mickey. I had no idea. i mean, you would have thought we have heard about that, but I think we're just further.
01:50:39
The Whole Ballgame
Well, you know, we were pretty good at keeping it close to the vest.
01:50:41
Howling Vengeance
no, yeah
01:50:42
The Whole Ballgame
And, you know, a lot of people don't really ask about it. But, you know, you asked me about that particular play, and I had to You know, I had to think long and hard about whether or not just to take it on the chin and say, yeah, I screwed that one up, Blake.
01:50:56
The Whole Ballgame
Or if I was going to give you some context to the reasoning behind why i would have such a piss poor attempt to play that seemed pretty routine, all things considered.
01:50:58
Howling Vengeance
Now, yeah, I say, yeah.
01:51:03
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
01:51:06
Howling Vengeance
i say
01:51:06
The Whole Ballgame
and But when I weighed that in my brain, I think what it came down to is...
01:51:07
Howling Vengeance
yeah
01:51:11
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, I could lie to this guy or I could just give him the full-on varnished truth. And I think that's really what your program's all about is cutting out all of the ex extent extemporaneous speech and not going on and on and on.
01:51:23
Howling Vengeance
You're nothing but extemporaneous speech, you asshole. Goddamn. Fuck. No, you chose wrong. You could have just said, yeah, I fucked it up.
01:51:34
Howling Vengeance
And that's not a lie, because you did. You just...
01:51:38
The Whole Ballgame
Well, it certainly is a lie because, you know, I didn't just fuck it up, right?
01:51:40
Howling Vengeance
You went on to become... oh

01:51:45
Howling Vengeance
Don't have to say just.
01:51:45
The Whole Ballgame
And and i've i felt like, you know, it's what what really has to happen here is we have to understand the context around how these games are played and the men who play them.
01:51:46
Howling Vengeance
You can say... You are extenuating circumstances.
01:51:59

The Whole Ballgame
you're coming from.
02:43:23
The Whole Ballgame
I do.
02:43:24
Howling Vengeance
You can take it to the bank.
02:43:24
The Whole Ballgame
Uh, but look, you know, he's, he's absolutely, uh, uh, become, a cornerstone of this program. And, uh, I'm going to make sure that regardless of whether the Phillies or the Cubs, they show up on the program, uh, or not, uh, I certainly will, especially when you, you're in a game where a double play is, uh, is, is, is run, uh, between second base and first base, uh, or even potentially a triple play, which is rare. Don't know what happened with the tape there, but, uh,
02:44:00
The Whole Ballgame
you know, we roll with the punches around here. got starter, uh, advertising behind me right now, which is no, ah no, uh, no coincidence.
02:44:11
The Whole Ballgame
Uh, they, I was there, their first big, uh, athlete signee. I bet you didn't know.
02:44:16
Howling Vengeance
Boy, you got a lot of interesting facts between this and your dead kid.
02:44:21
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah.
02:44:21
Howling Vengeance
You just...
02:44:21
The Whole Ballgame
Well, I was their first big signee and, uh, then my kid died and they thought it would be really bad publicity, unfortunately.
02:44:23
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, no. Fuck me.
02:44:28
Howling Vengeance
Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:44:29
The Whole Ballgame
And so, i They never went public with it and went with a some other superstar player other than me ah instead.
02:44:37
Howling Vengeance
Yeah. Yeah, sure. It's like Mo Jackson.
02:44:39
The Whole Ballgame
And I don't remember exactly who it was, but ah It wasn't me, as was originally planned.
02:44:45
Howling Vengeance
Mm-hmm.
02:44:45
The Whole Ballgame
ah And don't do yourself the disservice of trying to research whether that's true or not, because you won't find it anywhere online. They've kept it really close to the vest all these years.
Brand Reputation Changes Over Time
02:44:55
The Whole Ballgame
Now that they sell starter at most Walmarts, it doesn't really matter anymore, does it? No, I guess not. It's like on the same level Voight and Rawlings nowadays.
02:45:07
Howling Vengeance
Is it?
02:45:13
The Whole Ballgame
Well, I mean, I guess if you analyze it from another perspective, you could say that it is indeed exactly the same, but I'm not really sure.
02:45:21
Howling Vengeance
You just said the same thing. just said the same fucking thing.
02:45:23
The Whole Ballgame
you know what i thought would You know what I thought would be really interesting is if you remember...
02:45:26
Howling Vengeance
You didn't say anything different.
02:45:28
The Whole Ballgame
if
02:45:31
Howling Vengeance
if you yeah If you analyze it from a different point, and then you said the same thing. oh so if i analyze it differently, it will be the same?
02:45:44
Howling Vengeance
You listen to yourself when you do this? It's
02:45:51
Howling Vengeance
the top of the ninth, folks.
02:45:58
The Whole Ballgame
Voight that's the the only kind of shoots I ever had like until like 10th grade when I finally got some converse Voight and Rawlings Kmart and Walmart
02:46:05
Howling Vengeance
Oh, man. In fourth grade, I had attack forces.
02:46:14
The Whole Ballgame
I bet you did
02:46:17
Howling Vengeance
And then at a garage sale, we found a pair of pumps.
02:46:22
The Whole Ballgame
Oh, that's awesome.
02:46:23
Howling Vengeance
Mm-hmm.
02:46:25
The Whole Ballgame
Swing and a miss.
02:46:27
Howling Vengeance
The only...
02:46:28
The Whole Ballgame
That's two outs here.
02:46:30
Howling Vengeance
God, look at that rug. The only thing that sucked about them is that they were like purple and white.
02:46:38
Howling Vengeance
wasn't a fan of the purple.
02:46:41
The Whole Ballgame
The kids at school. Did the kids at school make fun you for it or
School Memories and Shoe Teasing
02:46:44
The Whole Ballgame
no?
02:46:44
Howling Vengeance
No, no.
02:46:45
The Whole Ballgame
That's good. That's good.
02:46:47
Howling Vengeance
They made fun of me for being being in the basketball shoes of the pump and thinking that that would make any difference with my fat ass. So other than that, no.
02:46:56
The Whole Ballgame
and That's a good point too. Yeah.
02:47:03
Howling Vengeance
I'm about to shit my pants right now.
02:47:06
The Whole Ballgame
We're pretty close to the end here. So just, uh,
02:47:08
Howling Vengeance
I was thinking about maybe just picking it up and taking it in there. That's what Papa would do, right?
02:47:12
The Whole Ballgame
keep, keep it tight, pal. Keep it tight.
02:47:15
Howling Vengeance
no one's No one's off tonight.
02:47:16
The Whole Ballgame
ah We're not, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, uh,
02:47:17
Howling Vengeance
No one no one's gone, buddy.
02:47:25
The Whole Ballgame
I mean, look, the other day, there's this guy that they have on the show now. um Papa, by the way, is Howard Stern, in case you guys don't know what he's talking about. We've got two Papas.
02:47:35
The Whole Ballgame
We've got Vince McMahon and Howard Stern. We are the product of of third male cro procreation.
02:47:37
Howling Vengeance
That's correct, yes.
02:47:41
The Whole Ballgame
ah Another inside joke here.
02:47:42
Howling Vengeance
Nothing gay here.
02:47:43
The Whole Ballgame
But we'll we'll get you we'll get you where you need to be from an onboarding perspective. ah But Howard had on the other day, there's this guy named Richard...
02:47:54
The Whole Ballgame
um uh nope richard uh i forget his last name but he uh
02:47:56
Howling Vengeance
Greco?
02:48:00
Howling Vengeance
Greer?
02:48:02
The Whole Ballgame
No.
02:48:02
Howling Vengeance
Gear?
02:48:02
The Whole Ballgame
ah He's one of his producers and he he has insanely violent bowel movements and so he records them for the show.
02:48:11
Howling Vengeance
oh Oh, God, that's awful.
02:48:14
The Whole Ballgame
yeah Yeah. So it was like a 10 minute segment just of him recording his bowel movement ah that he had to have at Penn Station because he had to get off the the train and we go immediately to through the bathroom when you got into the city.
02:48:28
Howling Vengeance
So Papa's still doing that stuff.
02:48:30
The Whole Ballgame
Oh, yes. Yeah, there's still a good amount of it.
02:48:33
Howling Vengeance
Okay.
02:48:37
Howling Vengeance
Because they would lead you to believe that he's turned into Martha Stewart or something.
02:48:37
The Whole Ballgame
ah
02:48:41
The Whole Ballgame
Absolutely not. No, it's still absolutely as grotesque as it's always been, um except he just is really fucking good at interviewing celebrities.
02:48:54
The Whole Ballgame
That's all.
02:48:56
Howling Vengeance
This guy looks like a Roldis Chapman, doesn't he?
02:48:59
The Whole Ballgame
looks just I was about to say the same thing. He looks just like Aroldis Chapman.
02:49:03
Howling Vengeance
Maybe it's his dad.
02:49:03
The Whole Ballgame
Maybe this is Aroldis Chapman's dad.
02:49:04
Howling Vengeance
Yeah.
02:49:05
The Whole Ballgame
yeah
02:49:06
Howling Vengeance
That could be totally feasible.
02:49:14
Howling Vengeance
think we just uncovered a mystery on the whole ballgame.
02:49:17
The Whole Ballgame
There it is. and so We're down to the last strike of the ballgame. And the Padres win this one.
02:49:26
Howling Vengeance
Pedro Chapman.
Upcoming Baseball Games Preview
02:49:28
The Whole Ballgame
7 2. July And we're just about done do we have with this ninety ninetyfour journey blake
02:49:42
The Whole Ballgame
we've got what do we have left
02:49:45
Howling Vengeance
Well, we got a little bit left because it's pretty back heavy. So we got the all-star game coming up next, my friend.
02:49:54
The Whole Ballgame
That's what I thought. That's where I was leading to. we got the 1994 All-Star Game.
02:49:56
Howling Vengeance
But then after that, we still have to, I believe the first game we visit after that is the the famous corked bat game between the White Sox and the tribe where Albert Bell gets busted with the corked bat.
02:50:11
The Whole Ballgame
Albert Bell.
02:50:13
Howling Vengeance
Yep.
02:50:13
The Whole Ballgame
Hell yeah.
02:50:14
Howling Vengeance
We get to, we got to take a look at the big,
02:50:18
The Whole Ballgame
God, I got to work on some Albert Bell thoughts. My goodness.
02:50:21
Howling Vengeance
We got the White Sox and the Royals. We also got the Astros and the Reds. No.
02:50:28
The Whole Ballgame
Okay, so we're not as close to done as I thought, but we've got four or five more games to get to before we we we we put a bow and we put a thesis together for you to to Baldo Ronaldo this shit.
02:50:38
Howling Vengeance
And in
02:50:42
Howling Vengeance
you can definitely, yeah, we will so make our last stop on the last day of the season and the last game. And
02:50:53
Howling Vengeance
Yeah, but probably before we watch or take a look at the All-Star game, we'll um probably start to look at the ah strike and how that's laying out in some shape, form, or fashion. but Or, you know, might just talk about it during the game. But I think there's enough during the ballgame that you probably want to give it it its own stand-alone.
02:51:20
The Whole Ballgame
Yeah, I think that's a good point, and that's ah that's the direction we'll be going moving forward. ah if ah If you're interested in in other cool shit that we're doing that doesn't relate to baseball, I highly recommend heading to the Patreon, patreon.com slash the whole ball game, and check out the different options there.

02:51:40
The Whole Ballgame
ah From a wrestling perspective, Blake, what are we looking at next on the Patreon page?
02:51:46
Howling Vengeance
I think the match made in hell between Jimmy and Rick where they're going to get together and provide commentary to a show that has no commentary and head overseas for um wc w in in 1993.
02:52:07
Howling Vengeance
a 1993 show Germany with no commentary and there's say a nineteen ninety three wc w house show from germany was no commentary And our twin terrors are going to provide that for us.
