It's the only time I went. 23 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.599 It was the old Rosenblatt Stadium in Arizona. 24 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:09.719 It was there. 25 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.519 I'm trying to think Florida State was the championship game. 26 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.560 But it was a really long week of rain and delays, 27 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.239 and I think we were there twelve days. 28 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.159 You were supposed to be there. 29 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.640 We were supposed to be there, you know, eight maybe 30 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.159 eight of it. I think there were a couple of 31 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.400 days just washed out by rain. So we just sat 32 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.120 there and waited. We joked around. I remember we called 33 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.480 it like Camp Omaha because we just we didn't know 34 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.879 what to do. We weren't from there. 35 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.400 And did you have stories every day even though that 36 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.239 there was rain. I think we did because you had 37 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.400 to we were supposed to do. You had to use work. 38 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.400 That's kind of why we were there, right, So we did. 39 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:42.840 We did what we could, and then you know, it 40 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.840 turned out to be you know, the Chip Hail team 41 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.120 and some other really good players on that team. They 42 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.599 made the Majors and played professionally. So it was and 43 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.680 it was an emotional time. It was Jerry Kendall's wife, Georgia, 44 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.439 who you know was suffering from Loke Garrigg's disease. 45 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.239 Oh I don't remember that moment. 46 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.599 Yeah, she was, she was there, she was able to 47 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.599 move and you know, her life ended.

After that, we had Kenny Lofton, who was 185 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.560 fantastic at three forty ish and he was great to 186 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.839 talk about UA basketball, UA baseball, his time here and 187 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.199 his time as a major leaguer. 188 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:46.720 That was fun. 189 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.959 And then in the fourth hour we had Brian Jeffries, 190 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.439 of course, who's the voice of the Wildcats and who's 191 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.079 with the team and doing a great job as always. 192 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199 What do you think would have been like if Kenny 193 00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.279 could have played baseball? 194 00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.120 Would lud have. 195 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.720 Let him even try out? 196 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.120 I don't know, I don't that's a good question. 197 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:03.759 I don't know. 198 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.839 Probably, I mean it probably he would have overlapped, yeah, yeah, 199 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.439 and he wouldn't have played that much because of the time. 200 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.319 Maybe, I mean it's easy to say maybe. 201 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.680 Trying to remember if he might have been out there. 202 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.959 Maybe he was. Was he just out on the field, 203 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.360 like just taking fly balls? 204 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.160 No, he played. He suited up for his final year. Okay, yeah, 205 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.560 I'm not sure how he played or how long he played. 206 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.920 But the guy who we have today, Clark Christ at 207 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.480 four seventeen, is the guy who convinced him to play right. 208 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.000 And he said, I'm indebted to the guy. I mean, 209 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.960 he believed in me and I had to prove him right. 210 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.039 And he did because you know, he's the one that 211 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.120 said you can do this. Yeah, that worked out quite 212 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.080 well for him. I mean that was you know, talk 213 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.519 about two sport athletes, you know, the Dion Sanders of 214 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.080 the world and Kenny Yeah, you know, it turned his 215 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.399 basketball career and completely around. 216 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:55.960 In the baseball right. 217 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.000 In fact, he said that he said that to people 218 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.279 who know him now don't know that he paid for 219 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.080 UA and basketball. But people from who know him from 220 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.399 basketball really don't know him for baseball. I mean, he's 221 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.679 kind of kind of got a hidden personality there because 222 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.399 you know, you know him from where you know him 223 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:12.759 baseball or basketball. 224 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.519 It was pretty cool when he came back as his 225 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.080 career was getting going, you know, after Clark and the 226 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.159 Astro signed him, and he winds up on the Toros, 227 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.960 which was a cute little moment in time where. 228 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.600 They won the title. That Yeah, ninety three, he's out there, 229 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.600 you know, in high corbidfield, you know, playing for two 230 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.440 soons and I think Mike says hell Fader says this 231 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.480 all the time. Those were the highest attended Toros games 232 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.480 in the history became they won the title that year 233 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.399 at the PC time. 234 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.759 They won a couple and he was there. I think, 235 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.799 I guess maybe in the ninety one, the first one. 236 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.240 It was pretty it was pretty interesting time. But yeah, 237 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.919 and that's game there. It was very fun and not 238 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.200 too long after his basketball career. That was two years 239 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.399 after the fact that he'd already gotten to that level exactly. 240 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.600 It didn't take him long. I don't I'm not sure. 241 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.600 I'd have to look, but I'm gonna think he did 242 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.440 not go to double A. I think he went straight 243 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.799 to single A and was good, and they you know, 244 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.200 they promoted him up and here he was, you know, 245 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.200 on the cusp of the Major. Then they traded him eventually, 246 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.679 you know, so he went you know, he goes to Cleveland. 247 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.200 Yeah, kind of stuck in some deal. I don't think. 248 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.200 I don't know if people really. 249 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.320 Yeah, you called it up earlier, right Wikipedia, You should 250 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.320 may even bring that up player when we have time 251 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.759 to talk. So so again we have at three seventeen. 252 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.039 We're gonna have Robbie Mowen, a former U of A 253 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.080 baseball star. Uh, he's a former He coached here for 254 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.960 a while after after playing major leagues for a while, 255 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.279 came back where was an assistant under Jeff Skurrin at 256 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.000 Rio Rico U not too long ago. And then he 257 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.039 decided to move back to Dallas. Uh where his his 258 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:45.039 wife is kind of from. I guess she's a Russian native, uh, 259 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.360 if that's the right phrase. But they live in Dallas, 260 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.679 and now he's a teacher, a pe teacher. I think 261 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.919 Flowing Wells High School was high school. Yeah, you remember him, 262 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.840 I do. He was fantastic football player and baseball player. 263 00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.279 You know, I don't remember his football as much as baseball, 264 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.440 and he was quite good and one of the stars 265 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.120 of the U of a forear year. 266 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.519 If I can remember this is I first got here 267 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.600 in eighty seven, so he was like ninety one ninety 268 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.840 four whatever was. Yeah, I think Glenn Posey played at 269 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.279 floor and Walls. I think so. So they were like 270 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.480 a one two punch if I could, I could be wrong. 271 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.519 You know. The funny thing is I remember these things. 272 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.320 I can't remember anything from yesterday. It'll be just kind 273 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.000 of you know, it's kind of vague. 274 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.879 But yeah, Now, Robbie was a solid player in high school. 275 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.399 I'm pretty sure we'll have to ask him again. I'm 276 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.039 pretty sure he went four straight years at Arizona and 277 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.000 they never made the World Series, but they made the 278 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.279 playoffs every year, I think, and he was you know, 279 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.600 he was he was a guy that he was one 280 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.200 of their team leaders and he was all you know, 281 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.840 I'm sure if you look at the career records in baseball, 282 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.360 he's amongst the top players of all time. 283 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.799 Yeah, so we'll have Robbie at three seventeen and then 284 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.759 Clark Christip for seventeen today.
