Speaker 2: time with Salvation Army. There's a big lapse for lunches
Speaker 2: event this Saturday. Talked with an architect about the Martin

Speaker 2: on why Tanya Fernandez Anderson and died it and having
Speaker 2: played guilty, will not resign, And talked about Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: desire to accept a plane from a cutter, which I
Speaker 2: think is a huge mistake, but that's we'll let that
Speaker 2: one go. Last night, talked with a about how to
Speaker 2: get people, how to gently stop someone from talking. We
Speaker 2: might talk about that later. I talked about provision and
Speaker 2: the GOP tax bill for one thousand dollars to start
Speaker 2: every child who's born in this country on the way
Speaker 2: to a saving talked about Jason Tatum's horrific achilles tear
Speaker 2: his injury, and also talked about a new book about
Speaker 2: Charles Lindberg, the enigmatic navigator. Navigator. Last night, we talked
Speaker 2: pretty seriously about the fact that there's been such little
Speaker 2: information about the death the tragic bust accident death of
Speaker 2: a five year old Boston boyd Lenz. Joseph talked about that.
Speaker 2: Also talked about the crazy riot up in Worcester last
Speaker 2: weekend and the US Attorney's pronouncement yesterday than anybody who
Speaker 2: interferes with ice officers canon will be prosecuted. Today, talked
Speaker 2: about National Police. We talked about people who stroll, who

Speaker 2: Jim Goodman, the founder and owner of Cityscapes Boston, about
Speaker 2: again I describe the Princess of plants here in Boston.
Speaker 2: And last hour talk with futurists Kevin Sir Early. I
Speaker 2: have a thought that I would like to share with you.
Speaker 2: You know, we like to end the week on kind
Speaker 2: of a light note, and I'm going to try something
Speaker 2: and if this doesn't work, we can go to open lines.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to finish this week on anything serious.
Speaker 2: But uh I saw an article earlier this week and
Speaker 2: have followed up on it. A auction house actually here
Speaker 2: in Boston are in our auction had a baseball that
Speaker 2: had been autographed by Pope Francis, the late Pope Francis
Speaker 2: of the Catholic Church, who passed away on the morning
Speaker 2: of Easter Monday, and of course he has already been
Speaker 2: replaced that we now have Pope Leo in place, but
Speaker 2: this particular autograph collector, particularly on baseball's this guy named
Speaker 2: Randy Kaplan out of Long Island, and somehow someway he
Speaker 2: got an actual baseball, major League baseball autographed by Pope Francis,
Speaker 2: and it went up on the auction block and it
Speaker 2: garnered I think it's eighteen three hundred dollars, which is
Speaker 2: interesting because I suspect that over time that baseball, if
Speaker 2: kept in good condition, might actually grow in value. And
Speaker 2: so he also, I guess, had collected about baseball signed
Speaker 2: by twenty four of the one hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 2: high ranking cardinals who were eligible to vote on who
Speaker 2: would be the next Pope, the theory being that the
Speaker 2: next Bote would come from that group, and that I
Speaker 2: guess he was hoping to get the new Pope Leo,
Speaker 2: who I guess was a white Sox and he grew
Speaker 2: up on the South side of Chicago. So that is
Speaker 2: where we am where we are tonight, and I want
Speaker 2: to throw out at all of you a question, and
Speaker 2: that is, if you could get anyone in the world
Speaker 2: to autograph a baseball, a real major league baseball, if
Speaker 2: you could get someone of notoriety to autograph a baseball,
Speaker 2: either that you would hold on to or that you
Speaker 2: would put up on the auction block. Who would it be?
Speaker 2: I know that there will be a lot of people
Speaker 2: that would cross my mind, but I'm hoping that some
Speaker 2: of you will. We'll give us somebody. It could be
Speaker 2: someone in the movies, could be another athlete, could be
Speaker 2: a politician, could be a political leader, could be anybody.
Speaker 2: So I'm just going to throw that out and see
Speaker 2: if you will rise to the occasion on that. We
Speaker 2: had two different topics tonight at nine and ten, we
Speaker 2: talked with jan Goodman, the founder and owner of city Scapes,
Speaker 2: one of the most successful businesses in Boston, just an
Speaker 2: incredible success. And then which deals with city scapes Boston
Speaker 2: dealers with interior flowers, exterior flowers, flowers growing in the walls.
Speaker 2: I mean, they just have taken into another level, at
Speaker 2: least Jane Goodman and her team have. And last hour
Speaker 2: we talked with Kevin Sirilli, who's a futurist and his
Speaker 2: website actually is MTF, which stands for Meet the Future.
Speaker 2: He's on substack and all that. Very smart guy talking
Speaker 2: about where we're going to be so I want to
Speaker 2: throw it out to you. And this is like think
Speaker 2: of this as a eleven o'clock on Friday night. So
Speaker 2: you have a hall passer if you've called in already.
Speaker 2: But if you could get a baseball autographed by anyone,
Speaker 2: either to keep and pass on to your family members, okay,
Speaker 2: keep us a family heirloom, or to to get and
Speaker 2: then auction off to one of these auction houses. A
Speaker 2: baseball going to be a baseball got to be autographed
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven,
Speaker 2: nine three one, ten thirty. And we will open the
Speaker 2: lines right now. Gary from Woburn is waiting there. She's
Speaker 2: going to be first on the other side. He can
Speaker 2: talk about whatever he wants. If this idea doesn't take,
Speaker 2: and I hope it does, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: we can always go to open lines. Because I'm not
Speaker 2: going to end the week here on any sort of controversy.
Speaker 2: I'm going to slide into my weekend, which starts at midnight, uh,
Speaker 2: and go to the weekend for a long weekend three days.
Speaker 2: I haven't had a long weekend since late well since
Speaker 2: early February. I'm looking forward to this one and I
Speaker 2: will be back on Monday. I promise you that six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty, six one seven, nine thirty. This is
Speaker 2: one that you've got to think a little bit, but
Speaker 2: don't think too long. Who would you if you could
Speaker 2: get you could send the baseball away, or you could meet,
Speaker 2: well meet the person, whatever you can. You can tell
Speaker 2: me how you would see it coming down. But then
Speaker 2: would you keep the baseball or would you sell the baseball?
Speaker 2: That's the second question. We're coming back on Nightside right
Speaker 2: after this quick break.
Speaker 1: It's night Side with Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: As I promise, going to start with Gary and Moubur
Speaker 2: and Gary, you can talk about anything you want because
Speaker 2: you called earlier.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, obviously, Well you're talking about the baseball.
Speaker 3: Of course I mentioned a baseball player, and it would
Speaker 3: be my hero. It was Pete Rose, but too late
Speaker 3: for that. Yes, but let me give you somebody even
Speaker 3: better than that. It has to be Roosevelt. Uh he uh.
Speaker 3: We beat two countries, but.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about somebody.
Speaker 4: Ave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: That's a baseball. It's not gonna be worth much.
Speaker 3: That's true. A couple questions I want to ask you.
Speaker 3: You mentioned Kuoita, you didn't agree with the plane. Can
Speaker 3: I ask why we talked.
Speaker 2: About that the other night. I think it's a distraction,
Speaker 2: and I think that it causes him when you look
Speaker 2: at the number of Republican Senators who now have raised
Speaker 2: questions about it, ethical questions. For some reason, Donald Trump
Speaker 2: loves to be embroiled. He sometimes I think he trolls people.
Speaker 2: I think he trolls people on Canada fifty first state,
Speaker 2: They're not gonna become the fifty first state. He trolls
Speaker 2: people on Greenland, We're not going to buy Greenland on
Speaker 2: the plane. I think you take the plane if he
Speaker 2: could for some reason, But why are you wasting political capital?
Speaker 2: And something like that. It would be like if if
Speaker 2: you let's assume I live next door to you in Wooburn,
Speaker 2: and do you have a front lawn, pretty good sized
Speaker 2: front lawn? Yes, okay, So if you had your front
Speaker 2: lawn mode every day, I probably come up and say, hey, Gary,
Speaker 2: I know your front lawn always looks great, but you're
Speaker 2: wasting a lot of money. You could have it mode
Speaker 2: every week, maybe twice a week, and it would look
Speaker 2: just as good, but I want to do it. That's
Speaker 2: like but Trump would be like, why are you wasting
Speaker 2: your political capital on mowing your lawn every day? Or
Speaker 2: waste your political your financial capital, wasting your political capital
Speaker 2: on something like this. Well, you got this seven or
Speaker 2: eight Republican senators, some of them are very loyal to him,
Speaker 2: who was saying that's a crazy idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, one last thing before we go up from on
Speaker 3: the capitol. Are you trying to say that Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is buying this plane?
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. When I say political capital, what I
Speaker 2: mean is a politician has political capital what their favorability
Speaker 2: rating is. So if you're sitting there with a favorability
Speaker 2: rating of fifty three, and all of a sudden you
Speaker 2: talk about buying at getting a plane as a gift,
Speaker 2: taking a gift, and you're the Democrats taking shots at
Speaker 2: you and Republicans not supporting you, all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I guarantee you that your your rating is going to
Speaker 2: go down. You're going to be at fifty two or
Speaker 2: fifty one or forty nine. You're just wasting time and
Speaker 2: wasting conversation. There are things to do. You got to
Speaker 2: get a tax bill passed. You're doing great work on
Speaker 2: the border, tightening up the border. That's fine. I would
Speaker 2: also say, why are you arresting doctoral students from Toughs University.
Speaker 2: I've said that when there are some real bad people
Speaker 2: out there who should be arrested. Let's go get the killers,
Speaker 2: let's go get the rapists, let's go get the child molesters.
Speaker 2: Get them out of the country first. Then you worry
Speaker 2: about the doctoral students might be here illegally if they
Speaker 2: are very good, all right?
Speaker 3: If you obviously said nobody dead. If I have to
Speaker 3: choose somebody, it's not a sports person.
Speaker 2: Doesn't.
Speaker 3: Okay, I would have to go with Donald Trump's fin
Speaker 3: I would say Ronald Reagan, but he's a mover and
Speaker 3: a shaker. And my question is here, do you think
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan would be proud of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: In some respects? In some respect we would like he
Speaker 2: would like his feistiness towards the media. But Reagan always
Speaker 2: did it with a smile. Oh that was that was
Speaker 2: Reagan's great charm. Uh. Trump does it with a snarl.
Speaker 3: Okay. One last thing about you. You did the show
Speaker 3: the last hour? Was it last week? I guess about
Speaker 3: the Mother's Day and talking about Mother's Day stories?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: Okay, what I would like you to do. Okay, you
Speaker 3: got the Mother's Day stories. That was awesome for that
Speaker 3: hour and I was listening. What I would like you
Speaker 3: to do not just when the Father's Day comes up,
Speaker 3: but I want you to do the hour again, even
Speaker 3: though it's not Mother's Day. Tell me a great story
Speaker 3: about your mother. Tell me a great story about your father,
Speaker 3: because that was so enjoyable, and it doesn't have to
Speaker 3: be the holiday. Just tell me something great about your parents.
Speaker 3: It was a wonderful hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could. We will do that. We will do
Speaker 2: that in advance of Father's Day, because they think we've
Speaker 2: done Mother's Day, Let's do a Father's Day. You know,
Speaker 2: obviously the best circumstances are for a couple of parents
Speaker 2: to raise children, and it's tough when the love between
Speaker 2: the parents dissipates because it does, I think hurt the kids.
Speaker 2: But I'm not trying to do some sociological thing here.
Speaker 2: All I'm just trying to say is that people I
Speaker 2: think I'm sure people are going to want to talk
Speaker 2: about their dads and maybe what their dad sacrifice, they
Speaker 2: work two jobs or whatever, and we'll do that. Thanks. Gary.
Speaker 2: Appreciate the callers always thank you much, thought you soon.
Speaker 2: Let's keep rolling here. Okay, now it's going to be
Speaker 2: all baseball's until who would you? I'm just using an
Speaker 2: autograph baseball. I guess I have a friend of mine.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention his name who for many
Speaker 2: years would get really lovely, high quality eight by ten
Speaker 2: photographs of well known people across the board, I mean,
Speaker 2: including people like the Queen of England. And he would
Speaker 2: send those photographs as a gift and ask the person.
Speaker 2: I guess I think he would send two and ask
Speaker 2: the person if they would sign one and send it
Speaker 2: back to him. And I think he's gotten some really right,
Speaker 2: you know, for people high and you know, like the Queen,
Speaker 2: Queen Elizabeth or whatever. I don't I think he's keeping
Speaker 2: those in his family. But that's that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Let's go next to where are we gonna go? Steve is
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. Steve, who would you like to get?
Speaker 2: Get an autograph baseball from?
Speaker 5: Stay?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 6: I just want to say, you deserve a night off.
Speaker 6: You've you've been working really hard and thank you know,
Speaker 6: I hope you enjoy your day. I'm gonna go with Clint,
Speaker 6: my favorite actor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would. And Clint Eastwood I think is now
Speaker 2: ninety six, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 6: And I saw his picture after Gene Hackman died. Yeah
Speaker 6: he doesn't look so hot.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 6: I don't think he's got too many more years left.
Speaker 6: I always admired him, you know, even while Reagan liked him.
Speaker 1: I remember he.
Speaker 6: Used to quote him on some of his movie you know,
Speaker 6: lines and everything, and oh yeah, I'll go ahead and
Speaker 6: make my day and all the other good things.
Speaker 2: Well, I think they also were, you know, contemporaries. East
Speaker 2: Eastwood was a much more you know, successful box office actor.
Speaker 2: Reagan was an actor and then you know, went to politics.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, he went to politics. Let's see. So
Speaker 2: if Eastwood's ninety five, that means he was born in
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, if I'm not mistake that, if he did
Speaker 2: my math correctly, Reagan was born I think it was
Speaker 2: in two was in nineteen twelve.
Speaker 6: I think nineteen eleven. I'm not so pretty.
Speaker 2: Close, Yeah, Dixon, Illinois. Whatever. But the point is they
Speaker 2: were still in effect. If you think of a generation
Speaker 2: as being twenty years, they were still a generation part
Speaker 2: and I think that by time Eastwood came along, you know,
Speaker 2: with Dirty Harry and some of his great movies. I
Speaker 2: think Ronald Reagan had left the acting stage and had
Speaker 2: moved on to the political stage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he goes on the way back to the fifties,
Speaker 6: raw Hde. You know, I'm sure you remember some of
Speaker 6: those old shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think Reagan at that point was his
Speaker 2: his movie career had ended, and he was doing what
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember that he was selling products. And
Speaker 2: then his political moment came when he did a speech
Speaker 2: in sixty four endorsing Barry Goldwater, and that led to
Speaker 2: him running for governor in California and getting elected governor
Speaker 2: of California the first time in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 6: California was much better off.
Speaker 2: Then compared to what it is to me.
Speaker 6: We all know that. I just think that, you know,
Speaker 6: he's just an actor that I've always admired. You know,
Speaker 6: when he dies, I'll be very had that day.
Speaker 2: You know. He's a Yeah, of course he was.
Speaker 5: He was.
Speaker 2: He was the mayor was it Carmel, California. So he
Speaker 2: had a little he had a little bit of a
Speaker 2: political career as well. If you know what I'm what
Speaker 2: I mean by that he was the mayor of I
Speaker 2: believe Carmel, California, and I don't think that's a big
Speaker 2: community out there, and he probably didn't have much responsibility.
Speaker 6: But anyway, Uh, yeah, could you imagine having a movie
Speaker 6: out right now named Hang Him High? Probably it will
Speaker 6: never happen, but I remember it very well.
Speaker 2: By the way, by the time that Reagan, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: had sort of left the stage or or his career,
Speaker 2: he was, he did endorsements for like Chesterfield cigarettes and
Speaker 2: uh was it a mule train and what? There were
Speaker 2: a bunch of products that that he In those days,
Speaker 2: endorsements by celebrities were uh, and particularly cigarettes were were
Speaker 2: fairly common. Hey, I got a roun Steve. Great to
Speaker 2: hear you. Talk to you soon tomorrow. I will thank
Speaker 2: you much. Take a quick break here on nightside, coming
Speaker 2: right back. The only line is six one seven, nine, three,
Speaker 2: one thirty. Who would you like to have autograph of baseball?
Speaker 2: Either you would send the baseball and get it back,
Speaker 2: or you'd get an autograph in their presence, And then
Speaker 2: would you hold the baseball as a family heir loam
Speaker 2: or would you try to sell it for as much
Speaker 2: money as you could the baseball that was autographed by
Speaker 2: Pope Francis. I don't know if it's one of a kind,
Speaker 2: but it probably is pretty drawn. Close eighteen three hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: I thought it might have gone for more money than that.
Speaker 2: Back on Nightside, right after.
Speaker 1: This, It's Nightside with Dan Ray on w b Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: All right, back to the phones we go. Let me

Speaker 2: Okay, he is.
Speaker 3: He's the lawyer, the lawyer of lawyers.

Speaker 3: He's a lawyer of lawyers. So if you're a.
Speaker 7: Lawyer and you need a lawyer, you need him. And
Speaker 7: after his performance and his cool and his calmness, because
Speaker 7: I watched after the jury left and he was talking
Speaker 7: with the judge and that prosecuting attorney.
Speaker 3: Uh, he just is.
Speaker 7: So he's so professional, he's got class, he's he's got composure,
Speaker 7: and he blew the prosecuting attorneys star witness out of
Speaker 7: the water. When she said that wasn't caused by a
Speaker 7: car accident.
Speaker 2: I think what she said was that she was not
Speaker 2: able to determine the because of death.
Speaker 7: It was not caused by a vehicle, she said, not
Speaker 7: a vehicle.
Speaker 2: Okay. Well again I did not watch it as closely
Speaker 2: as you, but it sounded to me as if she
Speaker 2: was saying she was she did not know.

Speaker 7: it's this guy. This guy, he's a professional, he's got class.

Speaker 2: one of Karen Reid's lawyers, who say, you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I'm not following that case. I'm more
Speaker 5: and more here and I think she's guilty, but I
Speaker 5: don't want to go there right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, if it's a baseball that I want to say,
Speaker 8: you know, you know, auction off, I'd want Donald Trump
Speaker 8: to do it, but he'd have to use an actual pin,
Speaker 8: not a sharpie.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you want him to use a ballpoint pen,
Speaker 2: not as sharpie because sharpies.
Speaker 5: Can blur over time, right, that's right.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're the second. Gary also said Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Rob had an interesting thought. His thought was Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: which I think is sort of interesting because obviously Brady, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, was drafted by the Montreal expos I'm
Speaker 2: sure you knew that, right, Rob, No, she didn't. He was,
Speaker 2: but he was uh a lower round and I think
Speaker 2: he picked the right sport, so he said. He said
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, which I think is is a good one.
Speaker 2: But Donald Trump, I mean, you can't beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: What.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised so far no one said Pope Leo, because
Speaker 2: I would think that would be a baseball that would generate.
Speaker 2: I've got a name that that that I'm gonna well,
Speaker 2: I don't want to throw it out thinks I'm going
Speaker 2: to take it away from everyone if he's not if
Speaker 2: he or she's not mentioned by the end, I'll mention
Speaker 2: that name. Okay.

Speaker 2: Joe's wearing out the phone lines here Christine. See here's Christine.
Speaker 2: Christine Glenn wants an autograph baseball Go ahead, Christine? Uh
Speaker 2: to Leo, Yeah, that would be I look the guy.
Speaker 2: Actually he's an American. He's a baseball fan. Apparently he
Speaker 2: grew up on the south Shire south side of Chicago,
Speaker 2: which makes him, in all likelihood a White Sox fan.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he it's that's pretty good. That's that's that's
Speaker 2: a good one. Yeah. Well, Doug Flutie would be another
Speaker 2: one as well. I don't know that. I think Rob
Speaker 2: would probably get more from Tom Brady baseball because Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: of course, is the the greatest quarterable. Well what'd you say?
Speaker 2: I missed that?
Speaker 7: Did the hail?
Speaker 12: Mary Pa?
Speaker 2: Well that's one great pass and he had a pretty
Speaker 2: good pro career as well. And I like Dougie's a
Speaker 2: great guy, don't get me wrong, But I think if
Speaker 2: you got a pound for pound and penny for penny,
Speaker 2: who's gonna which baseball will be more valuable? Tom Brady
Speaker 2: or Doug Flutie. Gotta go with Tom Brady, uh because yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: fair enough, all right, Uh well we'll let you go. Thanks, Christine,
Speaker 2: appreciate it very much.
Speaker 12: Tell him I said hi, will you.

Speaker 2: he's listening right now. You could. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: carry any messages. I don't want to get in the
Speaker 2: middle of this. Okay, Thanks Christine, dog you sir? Good night.
Speaker 2: All right's cay roll in here. We've got a couple
Speaker 2: of lines open at six.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 2: I've got a name, and I'm surprised no one has
Speaker 2: come up with it yet. But that's okay. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Alex and Millis, Alex. If you could get a
Speaker 2: baseball autograph by someone, anyone, who would that be?
Speaker 5: Uh?

Speaker 2: Street at Cheers and Cheers Cheers Bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And he's a class at guy. He's he's very
Speaker 3: he's a Boston guy. But I really admire him, you know.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so you just happened to be there one
Speaker 2: night when he was there? Was he going to be
Speaker 2: performing there? And you knew about it?
Speaker 3: Actually they had they had bleachers right outside of Cheers Bar,
Speaker 3: and I had my camera, you know, and I says,
Speaker 3: I asked the UH, I asked one of the you
Speaker 3: know people in charge, and they they said, sure, you know,
Speaker 3: and he was nice enough, gracious enough to have me
Speaker 3: go inside and I took a picture, you know, not
Speaker 3: with the crowd, but with him, and you know, and
Speaker 3: he send it back to me. Uh, I said, he

Speaker 2: Good thinking, good thinking, you were you were Johnny on
Speaker 2: the spot, Alex. That's that's great, that's great. What do
Speaker 2: you think you could get? You? You would not sell
Speaker 2: a jay Leno baseball. I'm hoping that there were people
Speaker 2: who were going to come up with some names that
Speaker 2: would say, well that that would that would fetch quite
Speaker 2: quite a pretty penny. The Pope Francis baseball got eighteen dollars.
Speaker 3: But you know, there's so many autographs you could he
Speaker 3: could I don't know, Elon Musk, you know, Donald Trump?
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, you don't have to. I don't save

Speaker 2: with jay Leno. Whil's with jay Leno? All right, let
Speaker 2: me take you. I gonna get one more in here,
Speaker 2: John and New York. John, You're gonna come up with
Speaker 2: an interesting name. I just sense it.
Speaker 13: Go ahead, John, Yeah, you know, once upon a time
Speaker 13: I was on an airplane first class and that gentleman
Speaker 13: that's a baseball player and his wife was sitting in
Speaker 13: my section. And I'll give you your hate to who
Speaker 13: he was. Sure stand the man?
Speaker 2: Well, that would be Stan Musel.
Speaker 6: Okay, you know who he is?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 2: Do I know who Stan Musel is? Yeah, of course
Speaker 2: I do. I mean St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: You're kidding me. I mean, come on, that's you know,
Speaker 2: Stan Muzel, Red Shaney's, Roy McMillan, Ken Boyer. Uh, you
Speaker 2: know how many more of the Cardinals of that era
Speaker 2: do you want me to name?
Speaker 13: Go ahead, you know I experienced the wonderful thing. I
Speaker 13: just want to tell you, and I'm going to get
Speaker 13: off because other people want to call.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Uh. The fight attendant had baseballs and the kids on
Speaker 13: the fight would get autographs from him.
Speaker 2: This is that great Stan Musel, I'm told was a
Speaker 2: very from a guy who grew up in Pennsylvania, educated
Speaker 2: by by nuns. He's accused Catholic and a really good guy.
Speaker 2: Everybody who've ever talked to who knew him, I'll bet
Speaker 2: you had a good interaction with him on that airplane.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, what a wonderful person. You know, they ran
Speaker 13: out of baseball, so I let the kids go first.
Speaker 13: So I never got one autograph, but I don't mind.
Speaker 13: I have the kids who were more important than me.
Speaker 2: So how was it that the flight attendants happened to
Speaker 2: have baseballs on the flight? Did they someone know that
Speaker 2: Musil was was booked on that flight?
Speaker 13: I assume of course the airline knew and they yes,
Speaker 13: they did. And because he was on the way to go,
Speaker 13: he was flying for Albany, New York, and he was
Speaker 13: going to Cooperstown.
Speaker 2: So that was the year when he was either inducted
Speaker 2: into Cooperstown or every year they used to if you're
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, they bring you back. It's a
Speaker 2: great event. I went to Cooperstown. It was nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: seven and I think Earl Weaver was inducted into the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame that year. It was a great Uh,
Speaker 2: it's ever been to Cooperstown? Well, of course, you live
Speaker 2: in New York, you've been to Cooperstown. One of my
Speaker 2: crazy of course you've been to Cooperstown. Everybody should be
Speaker 2: should go to Cooperstown and is a wonderful wonderful piece
Speaker 2: of American I think you'd agree with me on that, John.
Speaker 13: Oh, yes, I went to the Hall of Fame, you know,
Speaker 13: years ago. I went that flight. Yeah, in the old
Speaker 13: original one and then the new one that they made.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's well worth the trip. It is well
Speaker 2: worth the trip. Hey, John, I got it. We're on.

Speaker 2: couple of lines at six one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. If you'd like to join us, I will
Speaker 2: tell you who I would probably get an autograph from

Speaker 2: in a perfect situation. Uh, I think you'll be surprised.
Speaker 2: We'll be back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm w Boston's
Speaker 1: News Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna wrap it up here. Let's go next
Speaker 2: to Florence. Hey, Florence, who would you like to get
Speaker 2: autograph Baseball from Hi damned Relics. Not a play, doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be anybody in the world.
Speaker 14: But it occurred to me to put my favorite singer
Speaker 14: his autographs.
Speaker 2: Okay, and who would that be? Florence?
Speaker 14: And now it's Neil Diamond all right?
Speaker 5: Well yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 14: Have him sign Sweet Caroline on the other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one, flor
Speaker 2: You got it, got it? Seven? Tretch?
Speaker 11: Absolutely, yeah, I want to ask your favorite even this
Speaker 11: is the only call I made this week, would it
Speaker 11: be all right if I get to call Morgan tomorrow night?
Speaker 2: I think you can do that. Yeah, don't tell anyone I.
Speaker 14: Told you though, Okay, Okay, so you like that with.
Speaker 2: Yep? Absolutely? Thought was you know, you know what who
Speaker 2: I would like to get to autograph of baseball looking
Speaker 2: at it purely from the economic value? Tell you of
Speaker 2: how much I could sell it for. You know who
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you Vladimir Putin? Oh wow, you know,
Speaker 2: I'll bet you that would go for some some money. Okay,
Speaker 2: not because he's a good guy, don't get me wrong, Okay,
Speaker 2: but I think that that would be interesting. That would
Speaker 2: be that would be it would just looking at from
Speaker 2: a pure economic point of view, I would not keep
Speaker 2: that as a keepsake for.
Speaker 5: My family, but I think mind, yeah, oh I.
Speaker 2: Can understand that, that's for sure. Thanks Lawrence, we'll talk soon.
Speaker 2: Have a great night, and Morgan tomorrow night. Thanks, good night.
Speaker 14: I will have I will.
Speaker 2: I will let me go next to Will in Long Island. Will.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be interested and you will come up
Speaker 2: with an interesting idea. Who will it be?
Speaker 8: Will? I?
Speaker 15: The first one I'd like would be a Dan Ray
Speaker 15: and Rob signed.
Speaker 6: All right, that's what I.
Speaker 2: Would I mean, it's just unbelievable that would get you
Speaker 2: about a baseball I think cost you five about five
Speaker 2: six bucks these days maybe more so you probably get
Speaker 2: three dollars signed.
Speaker 15: Sign baseballs to me aren't about money. And also you know,
Speaker 15: if that weren't available, I would take a Joe Biden
Speaker 15: auto pen signed baseball if I get it.
Speaker 2: If you could be sure it was the auto pen
Speaker 2: that's supposed to be, yeah, it.
Speaker 15: Has to be. He didn't sign anything else.
Speaker 1: Afterwards?
Speaker 2: Did you say my suggestion? What did you think? My
Speaker 2: suggestion of lad to me? Putin? I think, but I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 15: You can put it right next to the eight All
Speaker 15: Hitler baseball right right now.
Speaker 8: Well it was.
Speaker 2: Not available, but but but putin I think would be
Speaker 2: a curiosity that would generate I think.
Speaker 15: Certainly a notorious character. But as far as the real
Speaker 15: one that I would want as a kidsake, it would
Speaker 15: be Nolan Ryan. Nolan Ryan would be my ball. That
Speaker 15: would be that's the guy that held the ball to me,
Speaker 15: that nobody else could hold the ball like that guy.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 15: Just something about the way he was, his presence on
Speaker 15: the mound, his physical dominance and everything about him.
Speaker 6: He was all right, Dan.
Speaker 15: But if you have a Dan Ray baseball thend of
Speaker 15: my way, I don't care if it's only worth four dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem. Do you remember when Robin Ventura took
Speaker 2: umbrage at Ryan went out? Uh Ryan, He disposed of him.
Speaker 15: He disposed of him quite handily.
Speaker 2: Yeah, put him in the headlock.
Speaker 6: The guy's like six to five.
Speaker 2: You got it, all right, man, have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you soon. We're gonna go next to
Speaker 2: Steve in Baltimore. Steve, I know who this is. Steve
Speaker 2: is You're you're heading south tonight? Are you coming back
Speaker 2: from the South what's going on.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm coming back from Baltimore. Dan, I'm in my
Speaker 4: third construction, Bob.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's that's made you knight.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's crazy, it's crazy. I hope I don't want
Speaker 4: out of time. But no, I saw Number six, who
Speaker 4: played for the Red Sox in the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 2: You know who he is, Rico.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I told you. I saw him at the Boston
Speaker 4: Herold Kiosk at Dana Fablo and I was delivering back
Speaker 4: in the late nine He's probably too. Yeah, but I
Speaker 4: would get his autographed just for my sixty eight year
Speaker 4: young brother Mike and give it to him.
Speaker 2: No, well, that's yeah. As they say when I say
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin, I'm just looking at it as purely as
Speaker 2: a financial transaction. If I'm able to get that the
Speaker 2: Pope just got eighteenth Pope's Baseball, Pope Francis, the late
Speaker 2: Pope Francis eighteen thousand.
Speaker 15: Five hundred, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Probably would come pretty close to that.
Speaker 4: I would think it's crazy. Well things sell, Dan, Hey
Speaker 4: have a nice long weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh well, hey, let me ask you what's your eta
Speaker 2: back back home tonight?
Speaker 4: Oh, I won't be done I told you one morning,
Speaker 4: I'll be done at seven. I wasn't back home till
Speaker 4: nine thirty in the morning, so it's probably looking like
Speaker 4: that again. I'm not moving very fast, and once I
Speaker 4: get going, I got to go to chick or Pee
Speaker 4: then back to Lewiston, Maine. So it'll be nine thirty
Speaker 4: before I get home.
Speaker 2: All right, man, be well, pretty well draft character.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Dan, Hey, Thanks Ray, good.
Speaker 2: Night Mary and Foxborough. Mary sign baseball. You gotta be
Speaker 2: quick for me. You've called late, but I want to
Speaker 2: get you.

Speaker 12: I'm not even sure of I have the baseball cad.
Speaker 12: My stepson gave it to me. Baseball Danny Inge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well that's great basketball, better basketball player. But
Speaker 2: you're right, that's there's some irony.
Speaker 12: I have the baseball cad from when he played for
Speaker 12: the Blue Jays. Yeah, I have his autograph on it.
Speaker 2: Sure then he played. He played, of course, he was
Speaker 2: a real contributor to the Celtics. He I don't think
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 12: Oh my god, I loved him. I loved him all right,
Speaker 12: an emotional guy.
Speaker 2: I got you in, Mary, Thank you so much. We'll
Speaker 2: talk soon, Okay, have a great weekend.

Speaker 2: Always have a great weekend. Yeah, I was looking more
Speaker 2: for the I don't know, someone say King Charles or whatever,
Speaker 2: but whatever I said, Vladimir Putin, I don't know if
Speaker 2: he would get more money than Pope Francis. Certainly not
Speaker 2: in terms of moral character, that's for sure. Done for
Speaker 2: the night. Want to thank Marita, want to thank Rob,
