00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Ye? I saw it, you know what I'm saying.

43
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 3>With rookie and then you know, like I said, I

44
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 3>had to go down for a couple of thinks in

45
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 3>the minor league. So I saw him when he was

46
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>going thirty thirty in the minors, so I.

47
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Already knew he he had the talent to do what

48
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>he's doing. Now, you know he's I'm.

49
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Glad his personality is still the same he still has

50
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>fun to go about the game in a great way.

51
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>So, uh, you know, it's good to see that he's

52
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>doing well.

53
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 3>One of my little ye what they say, protezades and

54
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 3>whatnot little bros. Yeah, yeah, man, you little bro for

55
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 3>real though, So now I'm glad to see you're doing well.

56
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>When you look back at your career, what do you

57
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 1>think about the most?

58
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I just think about just always playing and just being

59
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 3>in different cities, meeting new people, being around the God,

60
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>and just competing. You know, that's one of the toughest

61
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 3>things that when you've done playing, you gotta find someone

62
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 3>else to you to take that competitive nature too, you.

63
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Know what I'm saying.

64
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 3>And those are some of the things you missed when

65
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 3>you leave the game.

66
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>When you retired from baseball, Where did you channel all

67
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>of that competitive design?

68
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>How talented? Ho chalented?

69
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 3>I can say it to the music business, you know,

70
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I took I took my craft really really serious. I

71
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 3>understood that nobody was gonna take me serious in it,

72
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 3>and that you know.

73
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>If I put together, if I put the.

74
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 3>F like I did into baseball, like I did into

75
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 3>any other type of enterprise, that I'll be successful. And

76
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 3>that's that's kind of an approach I took.

77
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you got your own record label. You're very successful,

78

80
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 3>go through a lot, just like anybody starting a new business.

81
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.560

<v Speaker 3>in a dugout with him when he was a kid.

96
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 3>And I tell myself, I tell Justin, hey, don't you

<v Speaker 3>and he did, so you know stuff like that.

103
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, beat my time.

104
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 3>In the sixties and uh, you know what I'm saying,

105
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>just just just being an all around polished player already

106
00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>at where he's at.

107
00:03:59.240 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>In his career.

108
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>How much do you think you bringing him to the

109
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 1>ballpark when you were playing for the Dodgers really get

110
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>gave him a couple of legs up on the rest

111
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of the kids.

112
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 3>You always give him advantage because you know that the

113
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 3>wild factor is gone. They come in and they like,

114
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 3>oh well, I mean, you know they people gonna always

115
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 3>get excited because just the big leagues. But you know,

116
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 3>it makes it a little easier when you can come

117
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 3>see a guy that you was chilling with, you know

118
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying when you were about seven or eight,

119
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, and just talk to him and kind of

120
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>get comfortable and uh, you know that way you can

121
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 3>go about your business. And then he has a real

122
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>business like approach. So whether whether he was in the

123
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 3>clubhouse or now, he's gonna come in and focus.

124
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 2>He lays the show.

125
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Focus and Carl Crawford still got that signature smile. Justin

127
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I think of you.

166
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 1>or not we were going to Boston.

167
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I was able to I was able to avoid

<v Speaker 3>I gotta looking man. But you know, like I said,

170
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>I enjoyed my time in LA. I wish I could

171
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>have played longer, but at the end of the day,

172
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 3>I took it for.

173
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>What is worth.

174
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 3>And uh, like I said, I really appreciate the fans

175
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 3>in La, the people, the city, to town, everything, So

176
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 3>I really enjoyed my time I stayed in La.

177
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You were at the beginning of this run of winning

178
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 1>for the Dodgers. You were part of that when they

179
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>made the trade for you and Gonzo and those guys

180
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 1>that really started it. What have you seen from the

181
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>team and what do you think they need to do

182
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to get over that hump to win it again?

183
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I think they just got to keep doing what

184
00:06:58.079 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 2>they're doing.

185
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.079
<v Speaker 3>I ain't gonna lie, you know, since I'll have and

186
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 3>then I been watching it as much.

187
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 1>But I know they've been seeing the old tiny show though.

188
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 2>I've been seeing that. You know what I'm saying. I

189
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>want to meet that guy because he's awesome.

190
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 3>But at the end of the day, they're gonna always

191
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 3>win the same way with pitching, defense and timely hitting.

192
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 3>So uh, you know, I don't see why they shouldn't

193
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 3>take it all this.
