It's not exactly easy. To my point, 00:06:03.605 --> 00:06:04.725 like, I think it's Megalio. 00:06:05.828 --> 00:06:09.088 So that's my guess. Is it Miguel Cabrera? It is. 00:06:09.848 --> 00:06:13.768 That's the thing. Everybody wants to sit here and say, yeah, 00:06:13.888 --> 00:06:17.668 but once you see the answer, you know everything. 00:06:18.008 --> 00:06:21.488 Every question that's in your head. I think it's triple-counier. Sure. 00:06:21.848 --> 00:06:26.928 It doesn't feel like it was that long ago. And you feel like easy. 00:06:27.148 --> 00:06:29.768 Like I said, I'm not going to hear it from you. What do you think? 00:06:29.768 --> 00:06:36.028 Because 330, 42, or not 42, like 37 and 144 RBI. 00:06:36.328 --> 00:06:39.008 No, I don't remember. I remember the Triple Crown, obviously. 00:06:39.688 --> 00:06:45.288 But yeah, I mean, again, people who are good at trivia are calm. 00:06:45.468 --> 00:06:46.688 They're good under pressure. 00:06:46.968 --> 00:06:50.368 You know, these aren't necessarily my strong suits. Okay. 00:06:50.828 --> 00:06:54.108 Fair enough. But, you know, I do have it too. 00:06:54.148 --> 00:06:59.628 I remember watching, I was watching the mom from, she played the mom on everybody. 00:06:59.768 --> 00:07:03.168 Loves Raymond and she was doing what I just did where 00:07:03.168 --> 00:07:06.088 she was so like upset about someone 00:07:06.088 --> 00:07:09.008 like referring to something as being easy that she 00:07:09.008 --> 00:07:14.088 missed an actual easy question and I was so mad at her I was like shut up quit 00:07:14.088 --> 00:07:19.308 making excuses but that's what I just did right if you had said it was easy 00:07:19.308 --> 00:07:23.908 and I would have taken half a minute and caught gotten my composure of course 00:07:23.908 --> 00:07:28.268 it is easy But it's scary not having the information in front of you. 00:07:28.768 --> 00:07:32.608 So let's go. I got to focus up. All right. I'm off to a terrible start here. 00:07:33.568 --> 00:07:38.808 The Detroit Tigers began playing baseball in the American League in what year? 00:07:39.228 --> 00:07:44.168 1901. Correct. Oh, baby. I'm off the schneid. Detroit was one of eight original 00:07:44.168 --> 00:07:47.448 charter American League cities. The other cities were. 00:07:47.948 --> 00:07:51.768 Oh, I bet I don't know this. This is not part of the question, 00:07:51.848 --> 00:07:54.028 but it's a good trivia. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:07:54.688 --> 00:07:59.928 I'm going to say, I'm going to say New York. 00:08:01.228 --> 00:08:05.128 You have to give me yes or no as I go. Okay, no. Then I'm already wrong. 00:08:05.268 --> 00:08:06.228 I don't want to go through the rest. 00:08:06.448 --> 00:08:09.468 Okay, it's Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, 00:08:09.648 --> 00:08:11.328 Philadelphia, and Washington. Okay. 00:08:11.928 --> 00:08:14.808 I probably would have gotten about half. You know. 00:08:16.008 --> 00:08:22.368 How many World Series did the Tigers win in the 20th century? In the 20th century? 00:08:23.548 --> 00:08:27.128 That's a weird way of phrasing it. I know. 00:08:27.348 --> 00:08:30.148 I don't like that. because they won all 00:08:30.148 --> 00:08:33.028 of their world series in the same 00:08:33.028 --> 00:08:37.048 century exactly so four yes yeah all 00:08:37.048 --> 00:08:40.288 right it's a tricky question because like 00:08:40.288 --> 00:08:43.228 if you if right you don't know you would 00:08:43.228 --> 00:08:46.868 think yeah good deal 00:08:46.868 --> 00:08:50.888 good deal denny mcclain won 31 games how 00:08:50.888 --> 00:08:53.648 many losses did he have oh boy i was in 00:08:53.648 --> 00:08:56.508 1968 year of the pitcher he had 00:08:56.508 --> 00:08:59.288 31 wins bob gibson had a 00:08:59.288 --> 00:09:06.248 1.12 era and it was the the result of those two and a couple other people they 00:09:06.248 --> 00:09:10.208 lowered the mound after that year because they needed to take the advantage 00:09:10.208 --> 00:09:17.208 away from the pitcher i believe he had 7 losses 6. 00:09:20.768 --> 00:09:24.888 McClain were the first to win 30 games in the season since Dizzy Dean on St. 00:09:25.008 --> 00:09:31.168 Louis in 1934 I could have

told you that too The American League Detroit franchise 00:09:31.168 --> 00:09:38.088 began in 1901 What was their team name in 1901 I think it was the Wolverines, 00:09:39.088 --> 00:09:40.948 The answer is the Tigers Is it? 00:09:41.048 --> 00:09:45.708 Okay That's a little bit tricky but I should have known it. Well, 00:09:45.788 --> 00:09:47.588 let me read the description. 00:09:47.748 --> 00:09:52.148 The Tigers were one of the very few teams that did not go through a name change, 00:09:52.708 --> 00:09:55.448 for the first 100 years in Major League Baseball. 00:09:55.988 --> 00:10:01.008 Under manager George Starling, the team finished third in AL with 74-61 record, 00:10:01.588 --> 00:10:04.568 only eight and a half games back of the pennant-winning white size. 00:10:05.268 --> 00:10:10.088 That's about it. Yeah, I do think that there were Detroit teams with other names, 00:10:10.088 --> 00:10:14.668 But I also should have known that because it's specified starting in 1901. 00:10:15.148 --> 00:10:19.508 And I did know that, you know, they've always been the Tigers. 00:10:19.728 --> 00:10:24.768 But again, it's scary on this side of the, I got to lock in though. 00:10:24.868 --> 00:10:29.228 Because even close again, close is not good enough. I need to start getting some right. 00:10:30.028 --> 00:10:33.088 And if you need me to clarify this question, let me know. 00:10:33.228 --> 00:10:36.688 All right, all right. I can clarify it because I'm reading it. 00:10:36.808 --> 00:10:38.928 I wouldn't know if you were to ask me. 00:10:40.088 --> 00:10:45.548 Which second sacker wore jersey number two during the 1929 season. 00:10:47.248 --> 00:10:51.388 Charlie Garinger. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I didn't know if the second soccer was. 00:10:51.448 --> 00:10:54.288 Oh, yeah, that's old-timey speech. It is his old-timey. 00:10:54.508 --> 00:10:58.008 I just, it went through me for a little bit of you, whatever, told me that. 00:10:58.788 --> 00:11:03.148 Charlie Garinger is so underrated, and that's, again, part of what works against 00:11:03.148 --> 00:11:07.308 Lou Whitaker, is that Lou Whitaker is like the sixth best second baseman who 00:11:07.308 --> 00:11:09.548 ever played, maybe ninth. 00:11:10.548 --> 00:11:13.448 But Charlie Garinger, it was better than him. Yep. 00:11:13.628 --> 00:11:17.128 Not by a mile, but better than him, and he didn't get a lot of love. 00:11:17.248 --> 00:11:22.568 However, when he was playing, Babe Ruth said that Charlie Geringer was the best 00:11:22.568 --> 00:11:25.408 player in the American League. And he probably was. 00:11:26.768 --> 00:11:32.648 Number eight, what was the catchphrase of the 1984 Detroit Tigers? 00:11:33.748 --> 00:11:39.568 Bless you boys. Yes. I had the 68 one, so I'm not going to say it in case it comes up. Right. 00:11:39.788 --> 00:11:45.048 But the 68 one was stuck in my head. It took me a minute to get to 84, the year I was born. 00:11:45.288 --> 00:11:48.188 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. and it wasn't

supposed to 00:11:48.188 --> 00:11:51.188 be a good thing either was it that i was born no 00:11:51.188 --> 00:11:54.108 the catchphrase the bless you boys well it's never 00:11:54.108 --> 00:11:57.288 it's such a it's such a southern a 00:11:57.288 --> 00:12:01.488 southern thing like oh bless your heart right it's like oh bless you boys but 00:12:01.488 --> 00:12:07.408 it turned into like a really positive thing right yep what tiger set a team 00:12:07.408 --> 00:12:13.048 record for hitting 58 home runs in a season hank greenberg correct one One of 00:12:13.048 --> 00:12:14.968 the most underrated players of all time, 00:12:15.108 --> 00:12:21.188 Nate Greenberg and Ted Williams are two players who just, they had the absolute 00:12:21.188 --> 00:12:26.708 like meat of their careers was lost to World War II. Right. 00:12:27.008 --> 00:12:31.748 So Ted Williams, you know, was able to do more with his other years, 00:12:31.748 --> 00:12:35.608 which is why he's considered, you know, and he was better, but Hank Greenberg 00:12:35.608 --> 00:12:39.688 lost a huge chunk of his prime, but yeah, 58 home runs. 00:12:39.868 --> 00:12:42.108 And who was number two on that list? 00:12:43.828 --> 00:12:47.028 For the tigers for the tigers so who has the second 00:12:47.028 --> 00:12:50.748 most home runs season cecil fielder no 00:12:50.748 --> 00:12:54.508 yeah cecil fielder with 51 correct okay 00:12:54.508 --> 00:12:57.128 yep i was like whoa i was trying to figure out 00:12:57.128 --> 00:13:00.568 where you're going took me a minute they had a couple other sluggers 00:13:00.568 --> 00:13:03.708 you know in the in the 40s like 00:13:03.708 --> 00:13:06.668 you're i'm not gonna say but there's some other players 00:13:06.668 --> 00:13:13.388 that i i hesitated but yeah Cecil Old Tire Stadium is on the corner of Michigan 00:13:13.388 --> 00:13:20.368 And what avenue See I'm pausing only Because I want You know I panicked after 00:13:20.368 --> 00:13:26.028 I got off to a bad start And so now But I want people to have the chance to answer, 00:13:26.728 --> 00:13:28.928 Trumbull The corner, 00:13:30.198 --> 00:13:37.578 Who was the manager of the Tigers in 1984? George Sparky Anderson. 00:13:38.058 --> 00:13:39.698 We're running. Captain Hook. 00:13:41.198 --> 00:13:45.158 What other teams did he manage? He managed the Reds. Yep. 00:13:45.418 --> 00:13:50.578 The Big Red Machine. It was funny. In 1984, Dick Williams was managing the Padres. 00:13:51.338 --> 00:13:58.498 Sparky Anderson was managing the Tigers. and Sparky had World Series wins with 00:13:58.498 --> 00:14:02.078 the Reds and Dick Williams had World Series wins with Oakland. 00:14:03.038 --> 00:14:10.038 And so no matter who won, was going to be the first manager to have a World Series in both leagues. 00:14:10.298 --> 00:14:13.278 And it ended up being, of course, Sparky Anderson. 00:14:13.698 --> 00:14:23.658 So Sparky Anderson also in the late 1979, he was on WKARP in Cincinnati after the

Reds fired him. 00:14:23.658 --> 00:14:29.198 So he was already the manager for the Tigers, but he was on WKRP in Cincinnati, 00:14:29.198 --> 00:14:33.218 which is a great show. And his appearance on that, you can find it on YouTube. 00:14:33.438 --> 00:14:35.578 It's great. Nice. Nice. 00:14:36.967 --> 00:14:41.467 Where was Navin Field? Where was Navin Field? Yeah. Michigan and Trumbull. 00:14:42.407 --> 00:14:47.327 Oh, City. Detroit. Okay. So the Tiger Stadium has been Navin Field, 00:14:47.987 --> 00:14:50.167 Briggs Stadium, and Tiger Stadium. 00:14:50.267 --> 00:14:52.327 Mm-hmm. So it's the exact same location. 00:14:53.087 --> 00:14:56.287 When they opened, I think home plate was in a different location. 00:14:56.707 --> 00:14:58.707 But yeah, Detroit, same spot, same corner. 00:14:59.847 --> 00:15:04.187 Bless you. Excuse me. Yeah. All right. I'm just going to ask you the question. 00:15:04.327 --> 00:15:06.567 I'm just looking for the right answer. That's good. I love it. 00:15:06.967 --> 00:15:12.087 Even though some of these questions seem monotonous and repetitive I like those 00:15:12.087 --> 00:15:16.347 it's helping me catch back up who was the MVP of the 1984 World Series? 00:15:16.727 --> 00:15:22.867 Alan Trammell you know that one of my favorite I went really quick there I'm 00:15:22.867 --> 00:15:32.947 supposed to go slower one of my favorite bits of trivia on the planet is that in 1984 the NLCS, 00:15:34.067 --> 00:15:36.187 and the ALCS. 00:15:37.527 --> 00:15:40.967 MVPs were both Michigan State football players. 00:15:41.827 --> 00:15:46.167 Oh, yeah. So Kirk Gibson was the ALCS MVP for the Tigers. 00:15:46.807 --> 00:15:52.527 Michigan State football player. Steve Garvey was the NLCS MVP for the Padres. 00:15:52.887 --> 00:15:56.487 Michigan State football player. Speaking of Michigan State, did you see that 00:15:56.487 --> 00:15:58.807 Tariq Skrugel was at the Michigan State basketball game? 00:15:58.927 --> 00:16:04.227 I saw that. He's all over the place. He was hanging out with Devin Booker the other day. 00:16:04.447 --> 00:16:08.127 Did you see that picture? I did not see that. Well, there's a picture of Buck and Scooble. 00:16:09.327 --> 00:16:12.587 Yeah, Tarek's just doing his. He's blowing up. 00:16:13.647 --> 00:16:19.667 And he needs to. I mean, his cards especially have not, they don't match the 00:16:19.667 --> 00:16:22.427 talent that he is. I don't have a lot of his cards. 00:16:22.627 --> 00:16:25.907 It'd be nice if it's some of the cool little inserts I do have. 00:16:26.207 --> 00:16:30.087 And we were looking through cards earlier. You've got a couple numbered rookies, I think. Yeah, I do. 00:16:30.187 --> 00:16:35.847 Those are cool. And I'm just torn a little bit Because if his cards didn't peak 00:16:35.847 --> 00:16:38.747 now You're starting to wonder Like are his cards ever going to peak, 00:16:39.542 --> 00:16:46.362 So, you know, you see his, like, numbered autograph as the best pitcher in baseball 00:16:46.362 --> 00:16:50.342 right now in the American League, Cy Young, next to other pitchers, 00:16:50.522 --> 00:16:53.942 rookies, guys who have never won a Cy Young. 00:16:54.082 --> 00:16:57.502 And his autograph number is, like, a quarter of the price. 00:16:58.222 --> 00:17:03.662 But I can't say it's the time to buy because I just don't know that the market ever appears. 00:17:04.382 --> 00:17:08.962 But you're certainly not going to get a bad deal on a Tarek Scrooge right now. No, no, no, no, no. 00:17:09.562 --> 00:17:12.962 But at the same time, it might not be a great deal. 00:17:13.542 --> 00:17:19.862 All right, bring it on. Let's go. Who was the first team to play the Detroit Tigers at the corner? 00:17:20.882 --> 00:17:24.322 I'm going to say Boston. No. Baltimore? 00:17:24.842 --> 00:17:29.162 No. Okay, then I have no idea. The first game was held April 28, 00:17:29.362 --> 00:17:35.302 1886, when Detroit slammed Columbus 17-2. 00:17:35.522 --> 00:17:38.742 Frickin' Columbus. see again the wording and 00:17:38.742 --> 00:17:41.622 the wording matters they didn't do anything wrong but they're like 00:17:41.622 --> 00:17:44.742 who was the first team they played at the corner 00:17:44.742 --> 00:17:48.062 right so it's like like i said they've 00:17:48.062 --> 00:17:53.782 always played at the same location but does that mean the 1901 american league 00:17:53.782 --> 00:18:00.042 detroit tigers apparently not so they got me there all right bennett part yeah 00:18:00.042 --> 00:18:03.742 bennett i didn't even remember bennett when I was listening to Navin Briggs 00:18:03.742 --> 00:18:06.322 and Tiger Stadium, but yes, it was Bennett. 00:18:07.549 --> 00:18:13.429 All right. Which famous Tigers broadcaster once said, Opey Day Troy is an event. 00:18:13.429 --> 00:18:19.689 It's New Year's, Easter, Christmas, all rolled into one unique afternoon. 00:18:20.349 --> 00:18:26.229 Do you know what Ernie Harwell also said? He said, you are a fine young man, 00:18:26.229 --> 00:18:28.129 as he put his arm around my shoulder. 00:18:29.889 --> 00:18:33.809 So the answer, of course, is Ernie Harwell. Ernie Harwell. 00:18:34.049 --> 00:18:36.909 And yeah, I got to meet him. he did in fact 00:18:36.909 --> 00:18:40.209 call me a fine young man the picture i have 00:18:40.209 --> 00:18:44.469 with him is one of my most cherished pictures and 00:18:44.469 --> 00:18:47.949 like literally in the same like 00:18:47.949 --> 00:18:51.069 you know he's signing autographs he 00:18:51.069 --> 00:18:54.049 came out took a picture i mean it was ernie freaking harwell right like 00:18:54.049 --> 00:18:56.849 ichiro when he came to america was 00:18:56.849 --> 00:19:00.509 like i want to meet ernie harwell this guy is a legend and 00:19:00.509 --> 00:19:03.729 then at the time i sort of liked brandon ninge 00:19:03.729 --> 00:19:06.449 and he was at the end of the table on his 00:19:06.449 --> 00:19:09.209 phone didn't even look up like i had a

ball i 00:19:09.209 --> 00:19:14.429 wanted him to sign and he just slid his already autographed headshot across 00:19:14.429 --> 00:19:18.869 the table without even looking at me and i just left it there and i never felt 00:19:18.869 --> 00:19:23.009 as good about brandon ninge right uh simpson i don't hate him he does great 00:19:23.009 --> 00:19:26.689 stuff for the university of michigan he was coaching there or was. 00:19:27.369 --> 00:19:30.669 I'm not mad at him. There's some plays, right? 00:19:31.769 --> 00:19:36.069 That was just, you know, when something like Ernie Harwell takes the time to 00:19:36.069 --> 00:19:39.589 do that and the up-and-comer like Brandon, you know, maybe Brandon Inge was 00:19:39.589 --> 00:19:41.709 like, oh, these people don't know me. They don't care. 00:19:42.429 --> 00:19:47.029 But it's a little bit of a sour taste. The funny thing about this question, too. 00:19:48.049 --> 00:19:51.049 So some of these questions are not pulled from the same spot. 00:19:51.509 --> 00:19:55.549 They're pulled from all sorts of different trivia and quiz 00:19:55.549 --> 00:19:58.389 places online cool so this one gave you 00:19:58.389 --> 00:20:01.849 an option on multiple choice all right the first one i ran into that was a multiple 00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:05.469 choice interesting the options would have been as shit i should have read a 00:20:05.469 --> 00:20:08.909 little bit further and gave you that but you know i knew you knew this answer 00:20:08.909 --> 00:20:15.569 i should guess who the other options are how many options does it give it's 00:20:15.569 --> 00:20:17.829 multiple choice out of four out of Four. Yes. 00:20:18.049 --> 00:20:23.189 Does it also list George Kel? Yeah. Okay. 00:20:23.909 --> 00:20:29.529 Does it also list Paul Carey? No. No? Al Kaline? Yes. Okay. 00:20:31.162 --> 00:20:34.602 Dan Dickerson? No. Okay, so who's the one I didn't get? Kirk Gibson. 00:20:34.862 --> 00:20:36.562 Gibby. All right. Love it. 00:20:36.902 --> 00:20:45.922 When Gibby was in the booth with Al Kaline and George Kell, it was the most fun broadcast ever. 00:20:46.202 --> 00:20:53.002 Because George Kell and Al Kaline were unique. Because George Kell went and became a broadcaster. 00:20:53.002 --> 00:20:57.942 He was a Hall of Fame baseball player, but he became the true broadcaster. 00:20:57.942 --> 00:21:03.762 Then Al Kaline filled that color commentary role But they were both so old school 00:21:03.762 --> 00:21:08.762 And then Gibby comes in And he is just the wild hair The, 00:21:08.922 --> 00:21:14.102 you know, say whatever And that combination of those three It was just for If 00:21:14.102 --> 00:21:18.342 it wasn't for a couple years It was for a couple of, you know, 00:21:19.122 --> 00:21:23.882 Groupings over a couple years It was as much fun as you could have Listening 00:21:23.882 --> 00:21:26.022 to a broadcast Alright Yep, 00:21:26.542 --> 00:21:28.702 so this one is multiple choice, too. 00:21:28.862 --> 00:21:31.902 So I'm actually going to- Don't give it to me unless I need it. 00:21:32.222 --> 00:21:35.442 You don't want all four answers? Not if I don't need it. Okay. 00:21:36.282 --> 00:21:41.982 Which Tiger won a batting title with a 360 award batting average? Norm Cash. 00:21:42.462 --> 00:21:48.222 Yes. Ah! And I'm going to say it never hit over 282 in 12 seasons after that. 00:21:49.102 --> 00:21:55.082 Well, so much for me letting the- I'm doing a terrible job of letting the listeners 00:21:55.082 --> 00:21:57.862 play along, but hopefully they're getting a kick out of it. 00:21:57.982 --> 00:22:01.282 Yeah. I knew immediately that Norm Cash won the batting. And it's true. 00:22:01.362 --> 00:22:03.622 He never had another year quite like that. 00:22:04.022 --> 00:22:07.182 He need any other four options. Yeah. Let's see who they would have put out 00:22:07.182 --> 00:22:10.022 there. They probably would have put Al Kayline out there. Yep. 00:22:10.542 --> 00:22:13.462 They probably would have put Alan Trammell out there. Nope. No. 00:22:14.802 --> 00:22:17.862 Oh, cause they, they told us 1961. No. 00:22:18.202 --> 00:22:21.082 Oh, they didn't say 1961. Okay. yeah the 00:22:21.082 --> 00:22:24.782 fact that al k line let's try uh jim northrup nope no 00:22:24.782 --> 00:22:27.762 bill freehand i'll give you one more guess i 00:22:27.762 --> 00:22:32.662 just give it to me that's plenty george cowl cowl of course and harry hillman 00:22:32.662 --> 00:22:37.162 hillman all right yep all right this one's just a standard answer all right 00:22:37.162 --> 00:22:43.782 mark fitteridge was a rookie of the year in 1976 but what other category did 00:22:43.782 --> 00:22:46.902 he lead the mlb in that year well Well, 00:22:47.002 --> 00:22:51.162 he definitely led it in war, but I doubt that's the answer to the question. 00:22:51.162 --> 00:22:57.542 I think it's wins and if it's not wins, it's ERA. So I have to think back. 00:22:58.907 --> 00:23:02.147 Because he actually, so he won Rookie of the Year. 00:23:02.447 --> 00:23:07.787 He came in like fourth in Cy Young and like 10th in MVP. 00:23:08.127 --> 00:23:16.387 But he led the entire American League and National League in war, which is crazy. 00:23:16.667 --> 00:23:21.227 I think it's, I'm going to kick myself either way, but I'm going to say wins. 00:23:22.007 --> 00:23:23.607 Wrong. It's ERM. 00:23:25.247 --> 00:23:30.047 He finished with a 2.34. But he had 19 wins, right? 00:23:31.427 --> 00:23:35.547 It doesn't say. It doesn't say. Yeah, ERA. I should have gone with ERA. 00:23:36.367 --> 00:23:40.247 But if I had gone with ERA, it would have been wins. You know, that's just. 00:23:40.887 --> 00:23:45.067 Which Tigers pitcher won the 2011 MVP? 00:23:46.747 --> 00:23:54.167 Berlander. Correct. That was when I gave the listeners a chance on that one. 00:23:54.647 --> 00:23:57.927 They give you an option, but they're a stupid option. Yeah, screw that. 00:23:57.927 --> 00:24:00.907 We're

going to keep going. And I'm done guessing options. All right. 00:24:02.087 --> 00:24:06.467 Which was the only pitcher to ever pitch a perfect game at Tiger Stadium? 00:24:06.927 --> 00:24:12.127 So it wasn't a Tiger, because no Tiger has ever pitched a perfect game. 00:24:12.587 --> 00:24:14.287 Come on, man. Well. 00:24:16.647 --> 00:24:21.347 We've talked about it. We'll go completely. That was like our first episode. 00:24:21.607 --> 00:24:25.867 Wasn't it very early? Because we watched the documentary. of 00:24:25.867 --> 00:24:34.467 course armando galarraga i want to say don larson no now this didn't have multiple 00:24:34.467 --> 00:24:43.047 choice no okay i will take one more guess now just for fun what team are they most known for, 00:24:43.787 --> 00:24:50.747 north side chicago really i don't know the white sock yeah of course it is charlie 00:24:50.747 --> 00:24:54.587 robertson okay I would never have gotten that so I feel okay, 00:24:56.477 --> 00:25:00.217 All right, number 20. All right, okay. I don't know what I'm going to do. 00:25:00.517 --> 00:25:01.557 We're rolling. We're rolling. 00:25:01.877 --> 00:25:04.657 It's fun. It's fun. I like it. It's fun. Good, good, yeah. 00:25:04.897 --> 00:25:11.997 The Tigers lost their first game of the season to Boston, but then reeled off nine wins in a row. 00:25:12.697 --> 00:25:18.297 This pitcher had three of those wins to go 3-0 after just eight Tiger games. 00:25:18.577 --> 00:25:23.577 Who was this young, lucky lefty? Did they tell us what year this was? 00:25:24.717 --> 00:25:30.857 I'm going to say 1968. Will you read that question again? It was worded very strange. 00:25:31.197 --> 00:25:36.037 The Tigers lost their first game of the season to Boston. To Boston. 00:25:36.157 --> 00:25:38.237 But then ruled off nine wins in a row. 00:25:38.717 --> 00:25:46.157 Nine wins in a row. This pitcher had three of those wins to go 3-0 after just eight Tiger games. 00:25:46.617 --> 00:25:52.437 Who was this young lucky lefty? Mickey Lulich? 00:25:53.077 --> 00:25:58.117 No john warden correct that's 00:25:58.117 --> 00:26:01.037 crazy john warden still does the circuit for like 00:26:01.037 --> 00:26:03.977 the 1968 tigers he was a rookie 00:26:03.977 --> 00:26:08.357 he was 21 year old rookie and that's the only year i believe that's the only 00:26:08.357 --> 00:26:13.057 year he played yeah he finished the season for a woman so the obvious answer 00:26:13.057 --> 00:26:18.437 for a lefty is mickey lolich right but i was rolling around i almost led with 00:26:18.437 --> 00:26:21.857 john warden and i would have felt so cool If I had, 00:26:21.877 --> 00:26:26.037 but if I had said John Warden and the answer was Mickey lowly, 00:26:26.117 --> 00:26:28.497 John Goddard buried my head in the ground. 00:26:28.737 --> 00:26:31.177 So it was one of your favorite Tigers. Of course. 00:26:31.657 --> 00:26:33.557 Of course. Big fat lefty. Why not? 00:26:34.277 --> 00:26:42.817 All right. 21 in the 1901, 1902 seasons, the Tigers could not play baseball on which day of the week. 00:26:43.817 --> 00:26:49.597 It's probably Sunday because of the, the Detroit Catholic diocese. 00:26:51.117 --> 00:26:56.737 All right. Nailed it. What year did the Tigers win their first World Series? 00:26:58.169 --> 00:27:06.469 1935. Correct. They lost three in the 19 aughts to the Cubs and the Pirates. 00:27:06.469 --> 00:27:11.349 They lost in 34, and then they won in 35, and they were not favored. 00:27:12.229 --> 00:27:18.309 Can you guess this? Did you know this? The franchise is only 35 years old, too, in 1935? 00:27:18.909 --> 00:27:22.449 Yes. Well, don't guess it. It's math. I know it's math. 00:27:23.689 --> 00:27:27.309 Well, you know, for me, most math is guessing anyway, so that's fair. 00:27:27.309 --> 00:27:30.169 It just seems like a strange coincidence. 00:27:31.489 --> 00:27:37.189 All right. Which team came in second for the AL pennant in 1968? 00:27:44.289 --> 00:27:49.889 Boston. No. They finished fourth. Baltimore. Yes. Okay. 00:27:51.569 --> 00:27:56.549 If I got two guesses, I would be knocking it out of the park right now. 00:27:56.549 --> 00:27:58.529 This actually did have multiple choice. 00:27:58.809 --> 00:28:02.389 Okay, fair enough. But if Boston was on there. Boston is on there. 00:28:02.389 --> 00:28:03.769 Yeah, it would have got me anyway. 00:28:04.129 --> 00:28:07.529 But I came down to Boston. Boston won the pennant in 67. Right. 00:28:08.669 --> 00:28:14.989 The Detroit franchise was the first American League team to go to three consecutive 00:28:14.989 --> 00:28:17.849 World Series from 1907 to 1909. 00:28:18.029 --> 00:28:19.609 As I was just talking about, the three. 00:28:20.209 --> 00:28:23.669 See? Okay, what's the question, though? How many times did they win the World 00:28:23.669 --> 00:28:26.689 Series in that stretch? About zero. 00:28:30.748 --> 00:28:39.968 Unfortunately, in 1935, jersey number five was worn by which Detroit Tigers first baseman? Easy. 00:28:40.928 --> 00:28:46.148 This is easy. Obviously, it's Maglio Ordonez. I'm just kidding. 00:28:46.788 --> 00:28:51.448 It's Hank Greenberg. That dude could mash. That dude was something else. 00:28:52.568 --> 00:28:57.548 All right. 26. Dave Bergman and Willie Hernandez were traded from the Phillies 00:28:57.548 --> 00:29:03.588 to the Tigers late in spring training. and both made major contributions to the success of the team. 00:29:03.948 --> 00:29:06.408 For which two players were they traded? 00:29:07.468 --> 00:29:13.448 There's no multiple choice, no hints, no nothing. Oh, there is multiple choice. Okay, alright. 00:29:14.888 --> 00:29:18.048 How do they do the multiple choice? Is it in pairings of two? 00:29:18.988 --> 00:29:21.848 Or it's in pairings of two. Okay, 00:29:21.928 --> 00:29:24.588 give me the multiple choice because I guarantee you I will get it right. 00:29:25.148 --> 00:29:30.008 Marty Castillo or Steve Kemp? No. Rick Leach and

Rupert Jones? No. 00:29:30.708 --> 00:29:33.288 Johnny Grubb and Enos Cabell? Nope. 00:29:34.068 --> 00:29:37.088 Glenn Wilson and John Walkenfuss. Yes. 00:29:37.268 --> 00:29:42.308 So I knew it was Johnny Walkenfuss, but I couldn't remember Glenn Wilson. 00:29:42.308 --> 00:29:44.828 So that's why I needed to know if they were grouped. 00:29:45.668 --> 00:29:51.068 Walkenfuss was a just absolute beloved Detroit Tiger. 00:29:51.248 --> 00:29:55.948 Like a fan favorite type. People were tooked when they made that trade. 00:29:55.948 --> 00:29:59.648 But that trade was hugely instrumental. 00:30:00.128 --> 00:30:04.988 I mean, Willie Hernandez won the Cy Young Award and the MVP that year, 00:30:05.368 --> 00:30:08.828 so it ended up being a good trade, but, yeah, not popular. 00:30:09.848 --> 00:30:14.928 All right. This former Tiger handed the flag from the Tiger Stadium flagpole 00:30:14.928 --> 00:30:22.188 to a Tiger's tri-captain in 1999 after the final game was played at this historic site. 00:30:22.188 --> 00:30:25.368 What was his name? Multiple choice? Multiple choice. 00:30:26.617 --> 00:30:32.557 This former Tiger handed the flag from Tiger Stadium's flagpole to a Tigers 00:30:32.557 --> 00:30:39.057 tri-captain in 1998 time after the final game was played at this historic site. 00:30:39.537 --> 00:30:41.357 Fitterich. What was his name? 00:30:42.037 --> 00:30:47.817 It wasn't Mark Fitterich? No. So then the other one is, I can't remember his 00:30:47.817 --> 00:30:51.137 name, but I believe he was the oldest living Tiger at the time, 00:30:51.217 --> 00:30:53.357 but I cannot think of his name. 00:30:53.477 --> 00:30:56.037 Who was it? Eldon Auker. Eldon Auker. 00:30:56.617 --> 00:30:59.577 And does it say there that he was the oldest living tiger? No, it is. 00:30:59.697 --> 00:31:04.657 An awkwardly sob mariner for the great tigers of the 1930s wrote a book called 00:31:04.657 --> 00:31:09.757 Sleeper Cars on Family Uniform, in which he gave a moving account of this moment. 00:31:10.097 --> 00:31:14.837 We'll have to check that out. I've never, uh, yeah. Oh my gosh, 00:31:14.917 --> 00:31:17.457 this is a repeat. I'm going to skip that one. Well, good. 00:31:18.237 --> 00:31:24.937 For nearly 30 years, one wild tiger stadium hot dog vendor peddled the delicious ballpark Franks. 00:31:25.057 --> 00:31:31.357 With a style all his own, he was affectionately known as Crazy Blank. I don't know. 00:31:32.077 --> 00:31:36.877 Crazy Gus. Crazy Gus. The son Jimmy continued the family tradition and also 00:31:36.877 --> 00:31:39.677 worked as a vendor until they closed the old park. 00:31:40.917 --> 00:31:47.317 Repeat. Who was the first? Okay. When was the first game that Nevin Field played? 00:31:49.257 --> 00:31:55.837 These ones are tricky. I'm going to say 1901. April 20, 19, 12. Okay. 00:31:57.237 --> 00:32:03.197 Got it. That must have been when they moved the, that's probably when they moved 00:32:03.197 --> 00:32:06.477 the home plate

and built some grandstands. 00:32:07.537 --> 00:32:14.917 Okay. Denny McLean won 31 games in 1968. Who was the last pitcher or who was 00:32:14.917 --> 00:32:18.277 the last major league pitcher before him to win 30? 00:32:18.577 --> 00:32:21.497 I can't remember. i don't think it's not 00:32:21.497 --> 00:32:24.757 like a household name but i 00:32:24.757 --> 00:32:28.437 don't know i won't get it dizzy 00:32:28.437 --> 00:32:31.457 dean is dizzy dean that's definitely a household name 00:32:31.457 --> 00:32:37.017 um and i feel like i should have known that i think he was part of the the answer 00:32:37.017 --> 00:32:43.737 for the earlier denny mccain yeah i mean he played for the he played for the 00:32:43.737 --> 00:32:49.737 for st louis in the mid-30s so like we i think i think we pitched against him in, 00:32:50.477 --> 00:32:57.377 like in the world series is back then but yeah it's i'll have to i'll have to 00:32:57.377 --> 00:33:03.737 lock that into my memory bank how many players are hit home runs over left field grandstand, 00:33:04.557 --> 00:33:08.957 well this one's kind of a weird they don't emphasize it but it has i have to 00:33:08.957 --> 00:33:17.917 say tiger stadium right how many players so mickey mantle cecil fielder. 00:33:20.378 --> 00:33:24.878 I'm going to say three. Four. Yeah. You want to know the player's names. 00:33:24.998 --> 00:33:27.158 I do. I do want to know the player's names. 00:33:28.698 --> 00:33:33.218 Hold on. Let me think. How many? And one of them that you just said is not right. 00:33:33.438 --> 00:33:35.938 Mickey Mantle or Cecil Fielder? Mickey Mantle. Okay. 00:33:36.658 --> 00:33:41.138 But Cecil Fielder is. Cecil Fielder is one of them. Okay. Give me a minute. 00:33:41.278 --> 00:33:44.558 Give me a minute. That lists all four. It lists all four. 00:33:45.038 --> 00:33:48.818 And is Cecil Fielder the only Tiger? Correct. Yep. 00:33:52.318 --> 00:33:53.318 Babe Ruth, 00:33:56.118 --> 00:34:01.698 Let me do what I had I think we're going too far back Oh are we? 00:34:01.918 --> 00:34:08.798 Alright alright Just read them Herman Killebrew Frank Howard, 00:34:10.198 --> 00:34:17.358 He did play a year for the Tigers At the end of his career That dude was huge Like 6'10, 00:34:18.278 --> 00:34:24.418 and built like a train Mark McGuire Mark McGuire and Cecil Fielder you know 00:34:24.418 --> 00:34:29.118 what Harmon Kilbrew's nickname was like literally they talk about him this way 00:34:29.118 --> 00:34:33.418 they talk about it to his face Harmon Kilbrew's nickname was the fat kid, 00:34:34.378 --> 00:34:40.898 he's not even that fat I mean maybe he was when he was a kid but yeah the fat 00:34:40.898 --> 00:34:44.198 kid I always got a kick out of that we're not gonna read that one. 00:34:45.698 --> 00:34:51.778 We've already answered that one Who has hit the most lifetime home runs as a Tiger? 00:34:52.638 --> 00:34:55.678 Al Kaline What's that number? 00:34:56.398 --> 00:34:59.238 399 And until

the day he 00:34:59.238 --> 00:35:05.918 died I said somebody needs to groove him one But he said he didn't care He said 00:35:05.918 --> 00:35:11.038 he never gave it a second thought Like when he retired He wasn't even chasing 00:35:11.038 --> 00:35:17.678 it And I always thought because Denny McLean grooved one Mickey Mantle in his last appearance. 00:35:18.038 --> 00:35:20.878 And that's a funny story. If you ever, you can hear him talking about it. 00:35:20.978 --> 00:35:25.938 It's funny too, because when Mantle talks about it, when Denny McClain grooved 00:35:25.938 --> 00:35:28.958 him for his last home run, he thought it would be his last home run ever. 00:35:29.298 --> 00:35:33.678 And he talks about Bill Freehand, you know, telling him, you know, 00:35:34.458 --> 00:35:37.398 swing and he wouldn't do it because he didn't believe him. 00:35:37.478 --> 00:35:42.018 It was actually Jim Price behind the plate, but you just assume the Tigers. 00:35:42.018 --> 00:35:44.578 It's going to be Bill Freehand, but it wasn't. 00:35:44.958 --> 00:35:51.698 And so, yeah, finally, you know, Denny McClain said, tell him I'm going to throw 00:35:51.698 --> 00:35:52.778 it, you know, chest high. 00:35:52.998 --> 00:35:54.238 And he took it for a strike and 00:35:54.238 --> 00:35:59.318 he's like, what the heck? And so finally Mantle, you know, hits the bomb. 00:35:59.878 --> 00:36:04.698 And so Joe Pepitone comes up next and he looks at Denny McClain and he goes right here. 00:36:06.898 --> 00:36:15.158 And Denny immediately plunked him. yeah so sorry pep you are not mickey mantle, 00:36:16.508 --> 00:36:23.648 superstar second baseman won the AL Rookie of the Year award in 1978 and went 00:36:23.648 --> 00:36:28.648 on to become a five-time all-star before retiring in 1995. 00:36:29.308 --> 00:36:33.648 Superstar is right. That's the most important part. 00:36:34.348 --> 00:36:38.648 Hey, they told us the game was options. Are there options? 00:36:39.448 --> 00:36:43.468 There's definitely a multiple choice one. Is Damian Easley on there? No! 00:36:44.568 --> 00:36:51.108 Just for fun. I want to try just one more that's too funny I don't even know 00:36:51.108 --> 00:36:55.968 who they put on there anyway it's Lou Whitaker of course the other three options 00:36:55.968 --> 00:36:59.048 were Amitrammel Dean Cain, 00:37:00.128 --> 00:37:05.648 and Jose Iglesias alright fun you would think David Easley would have been on. 00:37:08.508 --> 00:37:13.988 Who'd you see the Tigers in the 2012 World Series alright so, 00:37:14.888 --> 00:37:19.468 it's funny i know the answer right obviously and 00:37:19.468 --> 00:37:27.008 that world series sucked and the panda right that fat little third baseman he 00:37:27.008 --> 00:37:35.548 murdered us yeah the best series ever so the giants yeah that was terrible that was not fun, 00:37:36.308 --> 00:37:38.908 that's how the Warriors game film oh no, 00:37:39.928 --> 00:37:46.828 April 30, 1939 Tiger fans watched the final game of which great Yankees career? 00:37:47.388 --> 00:37:49.608 Oh, Lou Gehrig yes, yes. 00:37:52.328 --> 00:37:55.868 Why i know you're waiting for me to have a great story you 00:37:55.868 --> 00:37:59.048 know why you because he had lou gary's disease 00:37:59.048 --> 00:38:01.868 sorry yeah we all do that right 00:38:01.868 --> 00:38:05.528 okay als if you prefer bennett part 00:38:05.528 --> 00:38:08.368 aka tiger stadium was located at the 00:38:08.368 --> 00:38:11.348 famous corner of michigan and trumbull avenues how 00:38:11.348 --> 00:38:14.408 many years the tiger play ball on that 00:38:14.408 --> 00:38:17.308 site i don't know well that's 00:38:17.308 --> 00:38:20.888 it i'm doing years right because obviously 00:38:20.888 --> 00:38:23.688 they played i got it wrong because 00:38:23.688 --> 00:38:30.328 they played some game against columbus in 1896 right and then they closed in 00:38:30.328 --> 00:38:40.408 1999 so you would think it's 104 years no sorry 103 years no how how how long 00:38:40.408 --> 00:38:42.868 Are they going to say 1912? 00:38:43.348 --> 00:38:45.168 They're going to say 99 years. 00:38:46.768 --> 00:38:50.088 They're going to say 1901 to 99. 00:38:50.928 --> 00:38:59.428 See, and that's the answer I would have given if it wasn't for all those other weird questions. 00:39:00.328 --> 00:39:03.268 That's the reason why I did it. That's fair. 00:39:04.728 --> 00:39:10.468 Who are the Tiger's original mascot? The Wolverine. Yeah. Ah, thank you. 00:39:11.648 --> 00:39:16.408 Vindication, sort of. The nickname comes from Michigan's nickname of the Wolverine State. 00:39:16.888 --> 00:39:20.148 Which, of course, makes no sense at all to begin with. 00:39:20.688 --> 00:39:24.768 Oh, man, that was 40 of them. We're going to go to Detroit Tires Prizes. 00:39:25.008 --> 00:39:27.688 Is that 40 questions?

Oh, you know. The one I bought? Well, we weren't going to say 00:39:38.268 --> 00:39:44.608 how you got it necessarily, but it's your biggest investment piece to date, right?

And he's got mixed feelings. 00:39:57.088 --> 00:40:00.068 And this is all collectors know this feeling. 00:40:00.528 --> 00:40:03.948 Is you spent up. You spent up on a... I spent up by accident. 00:40:04.828 --> 00:40:08.348 It's it's uh Leo 00:40:08.348 --> 00:40:11.708 DeVries Jose Ramirez International 00:40:11.708 --> 00:40:15.388 Impact Dual Auto number 299 00:40:15.388 --> 00:40:22.168 number 299 beautiful card beautiful card on card autos top 5 player in baseball 00:40:22.168 --> 00:40:26.788 over the last 10

years yep man you get an up and coming prospect very young 00:40:26.788 --> 00:40:32.948 very hot prospect people seem to really love and want and they're trying to collect like. 00:40:34.819 --> 00:40:38.759 A cool card. It's definitely going to be a card. A little bit of buyer's remorse. 00:40:38.979 --> 00:40:43.819 It's buyer's remorse, but I know I need, because I'm getting back into the card game. 00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:47.959 And the cards I got, sure, I might be able to flip one card for, 00:40:47.999 --> 00:40:49.399 I might have bought it for $3. 00:40:49.419 --> 00:40:52.379 I might be able to flip it for $12, $13, $14. 00:40:53.139 --> 00:40:56.239 Who knows? But this card I definitely paid more for. 00:40:56.719 --> 00:41:02.259 And I just, I'm the kind of, I feel like I'm kind of at the top of the market already. Yeah. 00:41:02.959 --> 00:41:07.019 Which is fine. But with any luck, if you've got the cleanest corners, 00:41:07.659 --> 00:41:11.379 you know, if you've got the smoothest surface, if you've got the best autos, 00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:17.839 I mean, these premium cards can vary that much in, you know, price. Right. 00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:23.919 You know, you might right out of the gate have the best card with the value then being there. 00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:28.279 You might not. But I thought it was cool, you know, because he's only just sort 00:41:28.279 --> 00:41:32.179 of started getting back into collecting because of this podcast. 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.259 Right. So for him to make that big purchase, it's like, ah, cool. 00:41:35.459 --> 00:41:38.719 You know, he's, you know, even if you make mistakes, as I told him too, 00:41:38.839 --> 00:41:43.259 I've said on twice now, I've said on the air, we're done. I'm done buying boxes. 00:41:43.379 --> 00:41:45.819 Ronnie's done buying boxes. I'm done buying boxes. 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:51.979 I bought a box yesterday and you know, realistically I took a bigger hit than 00:41:51.979 --> 00:41:53.639 Ronnie will ever take on that card. 00:41:53.819 --> 00:41:58.839 And I pulled some cool stuff, but I took a big risk. I bought the Logo Fractor box. 00:42:00.223 --> 00:42:02.943 Did not come close to getting my money back you know so 00:42:02.943 --> 00:42:05.623 you see my cards i got right now how many do you think i 00:42:05.623 --> 00:42:09.043 have right now like 300 could be i've yeah 00:42:09.043 --> 00:42:13.703 probably between 200 and 300 i know i mean i spent like all night on friday 00:42:13.703 --> 00:42:18.943 night stay up until 230 yeah i blew through over 100 pennies yeah yeah and i 00:42:18.943 --> 00:42:24.603 saw and that wasn't all my cards right and our collection mine might he went 00:42:24.603 --> 00:42:27.763 around He's catching up fast, but I had a little bit of a head start, 00:42:28.183 --> 00:42:35.183 but we focus on, we're looking at numbered cards, auto cards, star rookies, 00:42:36.363 --> 00:42:36.963 short friends. 00:42:37.463 --> 00:42:41.403 And then, you know, we've got some where we are saying, I'll take a flyer, 00:42:41.523 --> 00:42:44.123 right? We've got a lot of players who are taking a flyer on. 00:42:44.383 --> 00:42:49.983 And so I can build lots of cards and, and our, 00:42:50.283 --> 00:42:56.743 both of our collections are kind of built for and primed for some whatnot action 00:42:56.743 --> 00:43:00.163 so we're we're talking we were talking already today about, 00:43:00.663 --> 00:43:03.803 how's that gonna look are we gonna pull that trigger yeah i 00:43:03.803 --> 00:43:07.863 think we should i think we will we're still trying to go through the logistics 00:43:07.863 --> 00:43:12.543 of it but we've got enough where we can do dollar starts you know and if it 00:43:12.543 --> 00:43:16.843 only goes for a dollar yeah no big deal but enough cards that you can throw 00:43:16.843 --> 00:43:21.883 in with a five dollar stack a ten dollar stack all the way up to you know a couple hundred. 00:43:23.203 --> 00:43:30.163 So should be fun I think like Evan said or Big E hey I'm Evan, 00:43:31.023 --> 00:43:36.083 I just like to go by Big E like Big E said you know this is an investment card 00:43:36.083 --> 00:43:40.443 and like I can't get anywhere and like if I'm trying to do this this is gonna 00:43:40.443 --> 00:43:43.823 have to be an investment like I'm I'm looking to not, 00:43:44.303 --> 00:43:48.323 just hoard the cards and just not do anything I'm gonna have to like I wanna 00:43:48.323 --> 00:43:52.083 be able to give it to people or sell it to people that want to... 00:43:52.779 --> 00:43:57.499 Their collection or improve their collection, but I also want to make money on it. 00:43:57.859 --> 00:44:03.859 This is most of my collecting. I've always been a collector and a flipper at the same time. 00:44:04.479 --> 00:44:09.179 90% is I do it for quick flips. You know, I look at it and I say, 00:44:09.259 --> 00:44:17.519 okay, that, that 1961 Ron Santo rookie card, you know, it's buy it now for 25 or best offer. 00:44:17.779 --> 00:44:24.639 It looks like condition wise, it's a $50 card. So I make an offer at $20, win it. 00:44:24.959 --> 00:44:29.079 Now I say that's a $50 card, but I want to move it quick. So now I sell it for 00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:34.279 $40, double my money, sell it for $10 less than where it should be. 00:44:34.359 --> 00:44:36.819 And then you just keep moving. You keep moving. 00:44:36.939 --> 00:44:41.339 And then 10 years later, you see that card, which is probably a nine, 00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:43.399 sells for like two grand. 00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:48.319 And you can't beat yourself up because you took that money, you reinvested it, 00:44:48.319 --> 00:44:52.299 probably made two grand in that 10 year span. 00:44:52.939 --> 00:44:57.839 So, but now I do have a couple, you know, we were looking at my cards and I've got, I don't know. 00:44:57.959 --> 00:45:01.179 It feels like I got 20 numbered Jace Youngs. You do.

00:45:01.339 --> 00:45:05.839 And it's cause I went big on Jace Young at the same time as Parker Meadows. 00:45:06.019 --> 00:45:09.479 And I was telling Ronnie, the Parker Meadows have mostly been flipped, 00:45:09.479 --> 00:45:14.259 you know, and the Jace I've got to wait at least in the, and if he doesn't pay 00:45:14.259 --> 00:45:20.119 off, I think if he does pay off, I think he'll pay off as a Yankee or, uh, 00:45:20.399 --> 00:45:23.819 you know, I have tried to buy some of them on, on the one that happened. 00:45:24.019 --> 00:45:26.259 Like people are buying them up, man. It's actually kind of shocking. 00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:28.339 Yeah. I think they've been overpaying right now. 00:45:28.959 --> 00:45:32.779 It's because of his brother, you know, people know the name and Jace Young is, 00:45:32.979 --> 00:45:35.279 I think he will turn into a great player. 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:39.859 I just haven't been willing to spend the $25 on a card. Exactly. 00:45:41.139 --> 00:45:45.959 The one I've got the auto in the white caps Jersey and that's numbered to 99. 00:45:46.439 --> 00:45:50.139 But I only paid like 20 bucks for that. Right. And it's selling right now for 00:45:50.139 --> 00:45:52.799 about 20 bucks, but it was one. I wanted that one. 00:45:52.939 --> 00:45:55.559 Like it's hometown uniform.

And he probably would have been a legit star somewhere else, 01:00:21.414 --> 01:00:25.854 but he was just – and he would have been like a two or three guy on him. 01:00:25.914 --> 01:00:28.514 But, like, you look at the Yankees now, and they've got eight, 01:00:28.514 --> 01:00:30.474 you know, superstars. Right. 01:00:30.634 --> 01:00:34.154 Like, Bobby Hickinson would have been – he would have gotten a lot more love. 01:00:34.534 --> 01:00:38.554 He would have been fine on that Yankee. Like, he just had a – he had a freaking 01:00:38.554 --> 01:00:40.434 career team. It was a bad time. 01:00:40.594 --> 01:00:46.714 Like, I don't think anybody could carry – Jeter could have came to that team. 01:00:46.894 --> 01:00:51.234 Right. And I don't think he would have had a career like he did. Facts. 01:00:51.814 --> 01:00:55.594 Or he would have had the same career, but it wouldn't have gotten the same fanfare. 01:00:56.494 --> 01:01:00.534 What position did Chris Shelton play in 2006? First base. 01:01:00.914 --> 01:01:05.474 Yeah. He ended up, he was leading the league in home runs. He was going home 01:01:05.474 --> 01:01:07.234 run for home run with Albert Pujols. 01:01:07.634 --> 01:01:11.234 Until they both got to like nine in the first week and a half. 01:01:11.394 --> 01:01:13.594 And then I think Chris Shelton ended with nine. 01:01:14.294 --> 01:01:18.594 He didn't finish him very much more. But it was crazy. That year was nuts. 01:01:19.714 --> 01:01:25.654 Which Detroit Tiger, whose career spanned from 53 to 74, and who played the 01:01:25.654 --> 01:01:31.454 entire 71 season with no ears, was the first player ever to win a Golden Glove 01:01:31.454 --> 01:01:32.954 at two different positions? 01:01:33.434 --> 01:01:36.114 From 53 to 74? Yep. 01:01:37.594 --> 01:01:40.874 One in left field yeah okay line 01:01:40.874 --> 01:01:43.534 yeah of course i was just trying to think you know i 01:01:43.534 --> 01:01:46.674 don't think he ever played center or did he win it at first base 01:01:46.674 --> 01:01:49.694 he ended up you know he played some first anyway 01:01:49.694 --> 01:01:52.554 yeah okay yeah i don't they don't give me the position but yeah 01:01:52.554 --> 01:01:56.974 he definitely that's interesting people would talk a lot more about al k line 01:01:56.974 --> 01:02:01.474 in right field if it wasn't for roberto clemente right because everything that 01:02:01.474 --> 01:02:05.674 and i remember you know coaching soccer i had like pretty much the two best 01:02:05.674 --> 01:02:10.534 players in the history of this school played at the same time. 01:02:10.814 --> 01:02:15.174 And so he only talked about the one where both players were breaking records. 01:02:15.174 --> 01:02:16.854 One was just doing it better. 01:02:17.254 --> 01:02:20.594 And so that's what Al Kaline was to Roberto Clemente. 01:02:20.734 --> 01:02:25.694 Al Kaline had an incredible arm, but Clemente had an even more incredible arm. 01:02:25.874 --> 01:02:26.994 He had incredible range. 01:02:27.214 --> 01:02:30.714 He had incredible everything. He won a ton of gold gloves, all-stars. 01:02:30.994 --> 01:02:34.534 Yeah, Al Kaline. You're breaking my records, right, Al? Probably. 01:02:36.094 --> 01:02:40.734 Which is a while. I only played one year at that position too. 01:02:41.394 --> 01:02:45.234 Yeah, but anything worth doing is worth doing right. That's what I was saying. 01:02:45.894 --> 01:02:47.394 And you were always mad at me. 01:02:48.174 --> 01:02:50.594 I was always mad at everybody. 01:02:51.534 --> 01:02:55.834 You did not like me without the playing sweeper. I liked you fine. 01:02:56.014 --> 01:02:58.954 I liked your style per se. 01:02:59.774 --> 01:03:03.434 So you keep your butt back here where it belongs. I just want to score a goal. 01:03:04.954 --> 01:03:11.034 All right. Anyway, that's good stuff. What was Ty Kyle suspended for in 1912 01:03:11.034 --> 01:03:15.894 to let his Tigers teammates boycott a game in sympathy? 01:03:17.094 --> 01:03:23.474 Sympathy with Ty Kyle? Wow, that's almost unheard of. That's got to be sliding in spikes up. 01:03:24.514 --> 01:03:28.854 It wasn't for going into the stands and beating up an onlooker, was it? It was. 01:03:29.574 --> 01:03:35.074 See, this is very disappointing to me because the way I understand it is the 01:03:35.074 --> 01:03:37.134 onlooker was of African-American... 01:03:38.720 --> 01:03:44.500 Bums me out that his teammates would stand in solidarity with him. 01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:48.000 I would rather they stood in solidarity with him for like, oh, 01:03:48.020 --> 01:03:49.860 I didn't really go spikes up. 01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:54.180 But if you really went in the stands and beat up. It was all 1912. Exactly. 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:56.380 Still not a good look. 01:03:57.640 --> 01:04:04.500 Yeah. In July of 2005, Kenny Rogers was suspended for doing what? 01:04:05.100 --> 01:04:11.700 Did they punch a cameraman? shoving shoved a cameraman yeah can he which Detroit 01:04:11.700 --> 01:04:22.000 Tiger was the only one that pitched a no hitter between 59 and 2007 between 59 and 2007 Bunning, 01:04:23.080 --> 01:04:29.740 no okay say it again who which Detroit Tiger was the only one to

pitch a no 01:04:29.740 --> 01:04:37.300 hitter between 59 and 2007 oh Verlanders was in 06 Verlanders It was in 08. 01:04:37.380 --> 01:04:40.680 It was in 08, so it's not Verlander. It's not Verlander. It's not even often. 01:04:41.080 --> 01:04:43.800 Crazy. Okay, so there is. It's multiple choice. Multiple choice. 01:04:43.940 --> 01:04:49.020 But you guessed one of the options. One of the options. So they tried to trick us with bunning. 01:04:49.680 --> 01:04:52.080 I don't want it yet. Give me just a second. 01:04:53.300 --> 01:04:56.820 I'm surprised you remember all this. I'm not trying to disparage you. 01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:00.860 No, like I said, there are certain things. I'm not crying like I was at the beginning, 01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:04.740 but there are some things where when you're on this side of it, 01:05:04.740 --> 01:05:15.440 like any blank spot or any blind spot just was it closer to to 2006 i was closer it was further back. 01:05:16.180 --> 01:05:20.080 50 51 is it hell new hauser no george 01:05:20.080 --> 01:05:23.300 mullins no i don't know jack morris 01:05:23.300 --> 01:05:26.380 oh freaking is that one of our yeah i 01:05:26.380 --> 01:05:29.460 just favorite yeah i don't i don't 01:05:29.460 --> 01:05:32.380 like jack actually i know he pitched it on April 01:05:32.380 --> 01:05:35.620 7th April 7th 1984 I'll try 01:05:35.620 --> 01:05:38.800 to do my math I think it's like like almost dead 01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:42.200 smack in the middle yeah yeah that's embarrassing I 01:05:42.200 --> 01:05:45.100 know obviously I know Jack Morris threw a 01:05:45.100 --> 01:05:48.020 no-hitter that year it was just I I 01:05:48.020 --> 01:05:50.940 wanted to be close to 51 or to 01:05:50.940 --> 01:05:53.760 oh so yeah that's on 01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.680 me Jack Morris Jack the cat he one 01:05:56.680 --> 01:05:59.460 time said a lady tried to interview him in the locker room and 01:05:59.460 --> 01:06:02.440 he said uh well actually i won't repeat it but 01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:05.460 he's look it up look it up he's just 01:06:05.460 --> 01:06:10.740 not a good dude we're gonna talk about it after all right 01:06:10.740 --> 01:06:13.800 who was the second player in detroit 01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:16.800 tigers history to hit 400 or better 01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:23.180 during a single season who was the second player yes harry heilman yes yeah 01:06:23.180 --> 01:06:28.580 ty cobb was first obviously yes which was the name of the detroit tigers home 01:06:28.580 --> 01:06:34.260 field immediately before it was named Tiger Stadium immediately before it was Briggs yep. 01:06:35.137 --> 01:06:40.697 O'Briggs who bought it from Navin.
