Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 8: What happening? What happen?

Speaker 8: Just want to tell you guys have had a couple
Speaker 8: of great shows. Steve the last couple of days that
Speaker 8: deal with Robbie he was great, and Reggie yesterday and uh,
Speaker 8: but I just wanted to tell you you guys are
Speaker 8: talking about the guys that leave town and all that,
Speaker 8: and uh, you guys are young enough to remember. Remember
Speaker 8: we couldn't get the highlights unless we watched Monday Night
Speaker 8: Football with Howard co Stall and all that that stuff
Speaker 8: back in the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well David and I talked about this back.
Speaker 2: In the eighties, or even with mister Who's it to
Speaker 2: mister Owl who passed away a couple of years a day,
Speaker 2: johncy Scott. So you said to bring the tapes back
Speaker 2: right on the plane. Tell me, no, that was me, okay,
Speaker 2: tell me.
Speaker 4: Well, remember the UFA was on probation right in the
Speaker 4: early eighties when the football team was on probation, so
Speaker 4: they couldn't show the games live. That was one of
Speaker 4: the one of the rules. So we were showing the games,
Speaker 4: we were televising the games. We would record them on
Speaker 4: tape and and then we would just fly back from wherever,
Speaker 4: you know, La San Francisco or Oregon. So I literally
Speaker 4: had the tapes, you know, in a suitcase with me
Speaker 4: coming back to the to the station to get him
Speaker 4: on the air, like a ten thirty that night, and
Speaker 4: god forbid, the plane was late.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I just called the station.
Speaker 4: Going get a show, get Mash ready or some show
Speaker 4: to go on the air because I'm not going to
Speaker 4: make it. But that's how things were going in those years.
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you what you guys. I mean, Steve,
Speaker 8: you know, I just moved here from California, and every
Speaker 8: Wednesday I would get a package from my sister, God
Speaker 8: bless her, and it was the week's worth of newspapers,
Speaker 8: The Citizen and the Stars sports pages and the VHS
Speaker 8: tapes of that week's game. And because I couldn't see
Speaker 8: them unless they were nationally calvised, so she'd record them
Speaker 8: on VHS and send them to me every Monday.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 3: Cool, that's how you read me. That's how you read
Speaker 3: me this.
Speaker 8: Yes, I knew you and I vire yep, definitely definitely league.
Speaker 3: No nobody cares.
Speaker 8: That was That was some cool stuff, man, was the best.
Speaker 8: And then and then day you were taught about Texas oil.
Speaker 8: So my my daughters both played j C ball at
Speaker 8: Howard College in Big Spring, Texas. And the day they
Speaker 8: checked in, we were back in l A and they
Speaker 8: send this picture with all this gear. I mean it
Speaker 8: was jackets and they were Adidas, two pairs of running shoes,
Speaker 8: two pairs of cleats, all this stuff. And I called
Speaker 8: him back. I said, hey, I don't got to pay
Speaker 8: for that, do I? And they're like, no, Dad, some
Speaker 8: oil man sponsors and that's a JC.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's all.
Speaker 8: So you can tell the money that that flows through
Speaker 8: for for tech and all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no question. Well yeah, the guy's name there,
Speaker 3: Cody Campbell. Did you did that?
Speaker 7: Name?
Speaker 3: Ring a Bell?
Speaker 4: And he's a major Texas Tech booster. He played football
Speaker 4: for them and he no.
Speaker 3: Paying the picture. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine that's two million dollars? But Steve, you've
Speaker 8: talked told me this before. What's the return on that investment?
Speaker 8: I don't get it.
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's tough. Well, they were on TV
Speaker 3: a lot to the end, so I'm sure.
Speaker 8: That's that's just to say, Hey, I'm the one that
Speaker 8: brought and I shoot you, what are.
Speaker 3: You talking about? For him? Not for the team?
Speaker 9: Really?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, because when you have that much money,
Speaker 2: what does a care? What do you the care if
Speaker 2: you get an investment?
Speaker 8: Dude, I guess. But even if you have a lot
Speaker 8: of money, a million bucks is still a million bucks.
Speaker 3: That's probably like twenty dollars to you and me. Huge.
Speaker 8: But anyway, you guys have done a great job this man, honestly, Steve.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, yeah, did you listen to yesterday?
Speaker 8: I haven't yet because I went on the thing last
Speaker 8: night and you hadn't boasted it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's on my Facebook page. I think Bill talked
Speaker 2: about it, so I posted on his comments that it
Speaker 2: was a good show. So I posted both hours on
Speaker 2: that on that podcast.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll jump on it because Kenny is my guy. Man,
Speaker 8: that's great, my favorite.
Speaker 3: He was great. Yeah, Okay, thank you man.
Speaker 8: Okay, you got to take that.
Speaker 3: You did.
Speaker 2: You hosted the Ludelson Camp last last year. You were
Speaker 2: kind of the spokesperson. So Kenny was here. I think
Speaker 2: he was here, which with Sean, and he doesn't say, Oh,
Speaker 2: he doesn't talk a whole a lot. He's very quiet, dude.
Speaker 2: But he was good yesterday. And you know, obviously he
Speaker 2: was very quiet when he was here, but he's still
Speaker 2: fantastically talented.
Speaker 4: He was pretty young. I mean, it was like seventeen
Speaker 4: when he got him. He's a young freshman Chicago out
Speaker 4: of Chicago, and you know, he kind of was overshadowed
Speaker 4: by Sean Elliott and Steven Cook and Steve Kerr and
Speaker 4: that whole group. And there were a lot of talkers
Speaker 4: on that team. And you know, he was kind of like,
Speaker 4: you know, okay, we'll go talk to Kenny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't get much from him. It didn't get much.
Speaker 4: And then he started to become quite a player, like
Speaker 4: maybe in his sophomore year where he was really needed more.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he grew up.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure being in the major leagues where you're
Speaker 4: probably interviewed every single day, someone's coming up to your locker,
Speaker 4: he got used to talking. He's got better and grown up. Sure,
Speaker 4: and you know he can handle himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, doing really well for himself now a
Speaker 2: film producer. I think he's doing some films and it's
Speaker 2: good and things like that. Helping kids play baseball, you know,
Speaker 2: I learn how to play baseball.
Speaker 3: Should say it's good.
Speaker 4: I mean again, he was a guy that came in

Speaker 5: a Kidnamed Lou fraser out Of Scottsdale Community college and
Speaker 5: he forever was the only Scott Stale Community college player
Speaker 5: that ever got the big, leagues AND i got him
Speaker 5: and he these are two. There and THEN i Got,
Speaker 5: kenny and then that just changed my whole world because
Speaker 5: he was such a long shot and being a basketball,
Speaker 5: player and you had to really think outside the box.
Speaker 7: When you're thinking About.
Speaker 5: Kenny AND i was able to take outside of the
Speaker 5: box because he was such a great, athlete AND i
Speaker 5: was able to convince my club to go ahead and do.
Speaker 5: It AND i was very fortunate because you, know he
Speaker 5: seventeen year big leaguer with twenty five hundred hits and
Speaker 5: should be.
Speaker 7: In The hall Of fame and will. Be and he
Speaker 7: put me on the map BECAUSE i could BECAUSE i
Speaker 7: was a. Dreamer and then then you.
Speaker 5: Part who out Of vegas and he was a basket
Speaker 5: player At Saint john's AND i made a.
Speaker 7: Picture let me basketball crew.
Speaker 2: Park let me interrupt you real. Quick you're breaking in
Speaker 2: it in and. Out you're were good there for a
Speaker 2: while and then you started to break.
Speaker 3: Up maybe he's hope he's still. There he might be.
Speaker 2: GONE i think we lost. HIM i think we lost. Him,
Speaker 2: yeah he's actually a rehab. Facility he just uh.
Speaker 3: There, yeah you might need to get into a better
Speaker 3: spot because you're breaking.
Speaker 7: Up, okay where CAN i?
Speaker 2: Go maybe maybe you're a window or. Something so so
Speaker 2: we Had kenny on what did you? See because because
Speaker 2: obviously we all knew him as a great baseball, player
Speaker 2: a great, athlete but big.
Speaker 3: Basketball i'm, sorry good think you? Did? Uh and what
Speaker 3: with your?
Speaker 2: Eye what do you think just because he was a
Speaker 2: good athlete that he'd be able to pull this?
Speaker 3: Off?
Speaker 7: Yeah he was because he was left handed and.
Speaker 5: Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Now? Ye a little bit? Better, Okay so he.
Speaker 7: Was WHAT i thought about him.
Speaker 5: Was is he was the fastest Kid i've ever, seen
Speaker 5: and he was left. Handed and if you're going to
Speaker 5: teach a guy to learn how to, hit it's better
Speaker 5: to start from the left side than the right side
Speaker 5: because if most of the pitchure the right handed and
Speaker 5: so the break the balls will, come it'll be easier
Speaker 5: to be able to do.
Speaker 7: It so that was my thought at the. Time and
Speaker 7: he was such a.
Speaker 5: LEADER i remember his speed and his makeup was such
Speaker 5: a he was a strong, competitor AND i knew that
Speaker 5: was going to have to play a part in it.
Speaker 5: Too and you know the team he played on that,
Speaker 5: year every one of them were going to BE nba,
Speaker 5: players AND i, thought you know, What kenny can find
Speaker 5: his own way in, baseball and you know all, that all,
Speaker 5: them all my thoughts at the time all came. TRUE
Speaker 5: i think that was the greatest part about, it because
Speaker 5: WHEN i saw, HIM i could just some envision when
Speaker 5: everything came, together what he could be and and it
Speaker 5: all came, through and it Was it gave me such
Speaker 5: confidence to Keep.
Speaker 2: YEAH i think you're still breaking. Up now you're doing,
Speaker 2: okay and then you bring up a Little in, Addition, Dave,
Speaker 2: dave you had the list of a couple of.
Speaker 3: Old we're gonna go, outside, okay, okay there.
Speaker 4: Was some other, Ones, Dave, WELL i Mean Albert pooholes of. Course,
Speaker 4: yeah he's one of the one of the big. Ones Dave,
Speaker 4: roady who was on that eighty six. Team you, mentioned

Speaker 4: out of that.
Speaker 3: Team maybe just.
Speaker 5: Well it was a special, team and you don't realize until,
Speaker 5: later because when you realize that eight players off that
Speaker 5: team played in the big, leagues you, know and then
Speaker 5: all of us got drafted and played professional. BASEBALL i,
Speaker 5: mean it. Was it was a phenomenal. Team it. Was
Speaker 5: it was a mix of speed at the top with

Speaker 5: middle of the. Lineup in seventy, nine it was. ME
Speaker 5: i was in the middle of, lineup but they Had
Speaker 5: Frank kona and uh and What clements and Then Ronnie
Speaker 5: quick And eye up the. Middle we were solid. Defensively
Speaker 5: we actually set to THE ncaa wreck for eighty. One we
Speaker 5: had eighty one double. Plays and then you had the
Speaker 5: best out and then you Had Wes clements at, first
Speaker 5: who hit a ball further than any Man i've ever.

Speaker 5: And Johnny moses And Dwight taylor who.
Speaker 7: Could run balls down like you wouldn't believe.

Speaker 5: great great, catcher And Casey candell played. Third he was
Speaker 5: a young kid and he was just a scrappy. Guy
Speaker 5: so he fit us all pretty. Well but it was
Speaker 5: A it was a special. Team you don't realize how
Speaker 5: special till later in life you really look back and, go,

Speaker 5: a hands on minds me a lot Of Jerry. Kendall you,
Speaker 5: know he doesn't he doesn't sit on the bench.
Speaker 3: And watch everybody do their.
Speaker 5: Work he gets right in there and puts in his
Speaker 5: his two cents on, everything which is.
Speaker 3: Is what he really is good at what he.
Speaker 5: Does and to have him take Our wildcats to The
Speaker 5: World series is is really cool because we deserve to
Speaker 5: be back in the work and we. Did and AND
Speaker 5: i Heard chip say something after the game when he
Speaker 5: was talking to the. Kids he, said, now we're going
Speaker 5: To omaha to win, it AND i love that. Attitude,
Speaker 5: Man we're going to win, it not just to show.
Speaker 5: Up we're going to win it because in nineteen eighty
Speaker 5: we went there to win. It that there was not
Speaker 5: a guy on that team that did not believe that we.
Speaker 3: Couldn't win The World.
Speaker 4: Series so so let me ask, YOU i want you
Speaker 4: to put your hat on for the scouting Of white
Speaker 4: and the closure that they.
Speaker 2: Have because he's like a he's like five eight nine
Speaker 2: and he's like unorthodox but.
Speaker 3: Fantastic, yeah he's.
Speaker 5: Wonderful they're both are good, players you know it just
Speaker 5: you know with if you break if you break them,
Speaker 5: down you know you're looking at size and you, know
Speaker 5: velocity nowadays for closers is like ninety five to one.
Speaker 5: HUNDRED i, mean it's. Unbelievable but this kid has a.
Speaker 5: Knack i'll be able TO i think he hides the
Speaker 5: ball pretty well and the ball jumps at these. Kids
Speaker 5: AND i like his breaking. Ball it's got a late,
Speaker 5: break late bite to, it and he throws. Strikes he
Speaker 5: doesn't walk a lot of. People you, Know it's LIKE
Speaker 5: i told, people you. Can't well that's one thing about
Speaker 5: The World series and these big. Games you can't let
Speaker 5: people just get free, bases, Right you got to do
Speaker 5: the little things. Right and then so if you do
Speaker 5: the little things, right just Like Mason, white you, know Make,
Speaker 5: yeah obviously he's there to hit home.
Speaker 7: Runs but he's also there to play good.
Speaker 5: Defense so don't open the door for them to take
Speaker 5: advantage of. It we're not in The World series if
Speaker 5: that kid would have caught that ground ball and on
Speaker 5: a routine ground, ball and and.
Speaker 7: You know that's how that's how it gets in those.
Speaker 7: Games it's the little things that.
Speaker 5: Count so you, know keep people off, base make your,
Speaker 5: plays make the routine, plays keep people in, check and
Speaker 5: then you got a chance to, win and don't try
Speaker 5: to be more than you. Are it's like saying That Mason,
Speaker 5: white they you're going to go in there and hit
Speaker 5: six home.
Speaker 3: Runs no that's.
Speaker 5: Not, no you're gonna you probably gonna get a, couple
Speaker 5: but you, know but hit For that's WHAT i loved
Speaker 5: About mason the last game he came up in that.
Speaker 5: SITUATION i think a lot of people, thought with the bases,
Speaker 5: loaded he's going to hit a grand. Slam you know
Speaker 5: what he. Did he took a big. Hack his first,
Speaker 5: Time i'm, like oh, no we're in. Trouble and then
Speaker 5: it's then he shortened it up and got a base.
Speaker 5: Hit that's that's, hitting and that's that's that's, It and
Speaker 5: that that made me like him even more because he
Speaker 5: was capable of doing. That, now if he ha's won
Speaker 5: for the fences and struck out because he's trying to
Speaker 5: hit On Grand, SLAM i don't THINK I i've been
Speaker 5: very happy with. That you, know he needed to put
Speaker 5: the ball in, play and he did. So i'm a
Speaker 5: big fan of. HIM i you, KNOW i DON'T i
Speaker 5: think there's holes in a. Swing he strikes out way too.
Speaker 5: Much there's no question about. That he's gonna have to.
Speaker 5: Shorten he's gonna have to correct that a little. Bit
Speaker 5: but in today's, world they're not as concerned about strikeouts
Speaker 5: as they used to. Be WHEN i was GOING i,
Speaker 5: WAS i was a different kind of player than he.
Speaker 3: WAS i was a CONTACT i was taught to.
Speaker 5: Contact coach still was big on, contact and we used
Speaker 5: to back back spin balls and we used to use
Speaker 5: the ground a lot In arizona because the sun used
Speaker 5: to bake on that.
Speaker 7: Ground he was hard as A.
Speaker 5: Cement, well you wanted to use the ground to get base,
Speaker 5: hit SO i.
Speaker 7: WAS i was taught to hit ground balls and mine.
Speaker 7: Drives so that's what we were.
Speaker 5: DIFFERENT i never you, know today's, world they lift the
Speaker 5: ball more than we did back.
Speaker 4: Then, yeah and it'll be so much. Fun did you
Speaker 4: see them performing on a big stage on this? Too you,
Speaker 4: know were used to see on him in High corbett or.
Speaker 4: Whatever but to be on NATIONAL tv and you, know

Speaker 4: rise to the.
Speaker 3: Akid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah and it's And i'll tell you what they're
Speaker 5: in for a, lifelong lifelong memories because you, KNOW i
