Did they know that 73 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:00.840 two sons about baseball place? 74 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:01.240 Yes? 75 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.439 Let me ask you you how many scholarships were you 76 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.439 allowed a year. 77 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.719 When I was well? Okay, well I started back in 78 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.520 the dinosaur ages, right, Okay, nineteen eighty two was my 79 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.039 first year as a college head coach, and back then 80 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.159 we were able to have eighteen. 81 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.280 Eighteen not all full, but eighteen full. But you didn't 82 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.479 give them up that way. Well, I was at a 83 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:21.479 Division II school. 84 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.319 My university said we're going to give you one point 85 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:32.120 three one scholarships. Yeah, okay, well because it's basically what 86 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.520 the what the university can Yeah fund working a lot, Yeah, 87 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.439 and we're a really non existent program. And uh so 88 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.680 I had one point three scholarships and everybody else at 89 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.520 eighteen Oh so I was scrambling. 90 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.759 Yeah, so you had to find talent. Oh man, So 91 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.039 this is where I want to go with this. She 92 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.400 has scholarships, You have scholarships, and maybe not. Ten are 93 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.080 the people you recruited, right, Let's say let's say ten 94 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:54.439 in a year? 95 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.919 Whatever? How many how many were gems? How many worked out? 96 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.560 Oh man? Let me just put it. The best way 97 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.879 I can answer that is to say that as I 98 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.639 look back on the thirty eight years that I was 99 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:14.039 a head coach and recruited way more mistakes than missus 100 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.560 then hits. Yeah, way more mistakes and what would mistake mean? 101 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.839 You know, it just didn't pan out, just didn't pan out. 102 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.920 In other words, either it was either. 103 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:30.920 Emotional academics academics emotional girlfriends. Those are crushers. People don't 104 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.360 understand how those crushes Listen. 105 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.720 I had a guy that I brought here and he 106 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.199 would have been on that twenty twelve national championship team. 107 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.240 But in the fall he just was he just couldn't function, 108 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.839 and so I figured he's homesick. So we dealt with 109 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.040 that a little bit, and then finally it came out. 110 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:45.519 Uh. 111 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.519 He went to one of my assistants and said, man, 112 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.560 you know, I missed my girlfriend. I miss my girlfriend. 113 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.319 So I sat down with him and had a little 114 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.160 bit of discussion about that. You know, hey, you know, 115 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.279 you know that has to move on too, right unless 116 00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.920 you tell me you're going to marry her. This at 117 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.720 the end, at the Christmas you got to move on. 118 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.439 And he couldn't handle it, and he went back home 119 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.680 and he's pitching in the big leagues as we speak. Oh, 120 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:08.800 you won't mention his name. 121 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.319 I said, you have your one point three scholarships, get 122 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.079 her on the campus. 123 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.240 No, it's it's just you know, yeah, it just it's 124 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.079 just the way it works. Yeah, you know. And I 125 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:20.879 was fortunate. I mean I had some. I mean I 126 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.319 was blessed. I got some. We had some good people. 127 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.519 I mean, you know, wherever I was, I mean we 128 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.199 had God, I had forty one guys playing the Big 129 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:28.800 League for me. 130 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.839 And you're recruiting not because you're recruiting because you think 131 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.839 they're good enough to play here without they're not doing 132 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.480 any favors. 133 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.360 No, no, no, without a doubt, no, you'd go in 134 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.040 and uh. I mean one of the one of the 135 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.480 things I learned in my experience is that if you 136 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.600 recruit either a buddy of your son. Okay, I recruited 137 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.639 my pastor, So did that happen? That happened. I recruited 138 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.680 my pastor's son to the University of Florida. Got it. Yeah. 139 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.199 And this was my pastor when I was in Los Angeles, 140 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.319 needed to get to have it. This was my pastor, 141 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.160 my sister's pastor, my mother's pastor. Our family went to 142 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.480 the church there. I recruited his son to the University 143 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.240 of Florida from LA and he, you know, he backed up. 144 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.319 He was a backup. He was a backup to David 145 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.079 Eckstein fifteen years in the big leagues, MVP of the 146 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.120 World Series with the same Lewis Cardinals and Mark Ellis 147 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.160 fifteen years in the big leagues everyday player, played on 148 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.639 the moneyball team. He wasn't my pastor anymore. I don't 149 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.279 even talk to him anymore. It didn't work out because 150 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.000 how long did you stay? Two years? Two years? Was 151 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.360 he good? 152 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.279 Yeah? 153 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.279 He was, but just not better than those guys. Well, no, 154 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.560 you had two guys ahead of you that were going 155 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.120 to be fifteen year big leaguers, I mean fifth, I 156 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.240 mean everyday players in the big leagues for fifteen years. 157 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.639 So was that the first and last time you did that? Yes? 158 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.120 I learned from that experience. Well you and I. So 159 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.360 you're still going to heaven, don't worry about no. No, 160 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.839 it's just one of those things for you. You got 161 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.759 to kind of watch, you know. It's just it's a 162 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.480 very delicate situation. Oh yeah, I mean, you know. Every 163 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.079 let's put it this way, Hey, every parent has a 164 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.519 little bit of a different eye on their children, sure 165 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.720 than you. It's hard to be objective with your children.

But you know, I hate let 174 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.040 me tell you something, I hated recruiting, covering that people. 175 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:47.959 It's all crap. 176 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.120 Shoot, and you know, these five stars turn into no 177 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.839 stars and these two stars turning into five stars because 178 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.240 of who they are, who they are and how much 179 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.680 they want to show people or and I'm sure you 180 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.319 saw maybe a guy that walked on and became this star. 181 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.160 Oh. I had a young man named Eddie Rojas at Florida, 182 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.199 five foot nine, left handed pitcher of New Jersey. A 183 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.040 recruited walk on. We recruited him, but we said, we 184 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.759 don't have any money, but we want you. And then 185 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.319 I and this was back in the day when professional 186 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.480 baseball could sign your player if he was drafted.

This was nineteen ninety eight, ninety nine. 188 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.839 If you were drafted, you got drafted out of a 189 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.600 high school. Steven I recruited you, and you come to Arizona, 190 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.360 they can sign you. The Baltimo Orioles draft you, they 191 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.120 can sign you until you step into your first class. Right. 192 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.200 So I had a young man I won't use his name, 193 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.720 Eddie Rojas. Was five foot nine, left handed through maybe 194 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.840 eighty for eighty five, but he pitched like he was 195 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.039 six foot nine a confidence. Oh man, it's unbelievable. Okay. 196 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.120 I bring this other guy in who's a third round 197 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.519 draft pick out of high school by the Baltimo Orioles. 198 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.279 He's six foot four, throws ninety two miles an hour 199 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.279 with a breaking ball that those baseball people that are 200 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.039 listening to this radio, you can hear his breaking ball. Hum. 201 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.240 You know you can just hear it. You know you can. Okay. 202 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.200 But he had white line fever, that was my saying. 203 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.480 So once he crosses the line, yeah he's a little different. 204 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.000 Sick white line fever, white life fea. 205 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.240 You come over with the best stuff. White line fever. 206 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.080 Some guys they cross the line, they get they get healthier. 207 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.600 They're sick in the drug out. They got a cough, 208 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.360 they got a cold, they got whatever. But as soon 209 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.559 as the white lines go down, they get really better, 210 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.200 get stronger. This guy would get sick when so you 211 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.960 couldn't depend on him. I took that guy to movies 212 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.279 all weekend. When he came in to go to school. 213 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.120 I took him, his mom and his sister to two 214 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.679 movies restaurants. 215 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:43.960 We ate. 216 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.519 We did everything to keep him away from the scout 217 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.559 that I heard through the rumors was in Gainesville floor 218 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.480 to sign him. And he showed up his first day 219 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.919 and he walked into class and my assistant called me 220 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.279 up and said, hey, Lopes, almost say his name, Hey Lopes, 221 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.000 Jimmy just walked into class, and I went, all right, 222 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.399 we got Jimmy. Jimmy never pitched for us because he 223 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.039 had white line fee. And you found that out when 224 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.639 when we put the white lines down. 225 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.960 So you said, damn Baltimore should. 226 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.240 He looked really good at a bullpen and he looked squad. 227 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.279 Did those white lines affect him for the rest of 228 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.240 his career? He never played in pro ball. Did he 229 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:23.919 make a. 230 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.879 Sniff somewhere, Yeah he did, but he was that was, 231 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.960 and he'd had all the talent put the wet lines. 232 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.759 Oh man, it was, it was, it was. He passed 233 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.000 the eye tests, he passed the smell tests. He passed it. 234 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.960 And he threw bullpens that would give you goosebumps. But 235 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.960 I used to say this all I worked with the pitchers. 236 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.759 I said, you don't, guys, this is the safest place 237 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.000 I've ever known a bullpen. Nobody's swinging a bat. There 238 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.279 isn't an umpire, and your buddy over there is catching you. 239 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.240 So every time he threw a pitch, guess what he says, 240 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.559 that catcher, nice job that pitch. I'm sitting her going, 241 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.360 that's not a good pitch. That ball is going to 242 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.639 be off the moon this week, if you off the moon. 243 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.200 So so he loved great in bullpens. But boy, you 244 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.720 put those white lines down. You put those white lines down, man, 245 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.200 white line fever. So let me ask you. This is 246 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.919 a dumb question, but a fun question for me. Uh, 247 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:14.600 I've known you for a while. You're one of the 248 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.480 great guys, great storyteller. Do you how many boys you have? 249 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.240 And you have four total? Right, four total? 250 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.440 Two girls, Christy Carey and Michael. They do they think 251 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.039 they're their dad because they're your dad. You're the mortgage guy, right, 252 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:30.360 you pay the mortgage when they're every no no, no, no, no no, 253 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.720 you're the mortgage guys. When they were growing up, your 254 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.039 dad's and you know. But but they're they're like to me, 255 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.200 it's just dad. He's you know, he's no exactly. So 256 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.279 when they grew up, I'm sure they have a ton 257 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.480 of stuff that's my dad would say. That is you know, 258 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.519 Lopez isn't where they thinking I had that dad, you 259 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.240 know he is. 260 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.000 He was a funny dude, one line dude, king of 261 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.159 the one liners. Blah blah. I have a little sense 262 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:53.480 of that. 263 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.120 But your your kids think that you're full of the 264 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.360 two or what do they think of you? 265 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.120 Oh man, let's see, Well, because you gave me. But 266 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.240 first of all, my boys played for me in Arizona. Yeah, 267 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.440 like my god, yeah, I live with this guy once again, exactly. 268 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.000 I used to do little things that at the house 269 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.080 that my kids didn't realize, well, my sons didn't realize 270 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.159 until they got to the program that oh my god, 271 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.240 this guy does this stuff to the players too. You know, 272 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.120 they leave a shirt on the floor and I'd grab 273 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.320 a stop watch at the house, and I said, well, 274 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.879 hold on, ho let me okay already, I'm going to 275 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.000 start the watch and ready go now, and I'd make 276 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.720 him hang the shirt. And then I stopped and said, wow, 277 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.519 that was nine seconds out of your life. You're so 278 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:47.000 busy you can't hang your t shirt. You have such 279 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.759 a busy life. The response to you, oh, they'd rolled 280 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.519 their eyes. I said, well, no, I'm just I'm just 281 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.399 wondering why you can't put your shirt on a hanger. 282 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.080 You know, I'm just curious about it, you know. Or 283 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.000 I'd walk through the house and the lights would be 284 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.919 on middle of the day, and oh, what is it? 285 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.159 Leave the lights on Tuesday?
