WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.919
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Constans Radio.

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you very much. That's a shocker for a

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>guy like that to go down with a leg injury,

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 2>being crowded off the field. That's tough. He's a young guy.

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for that, Al and as that could be a

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>very significant development on the season. Although the Red Sox

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 2>do have some people down down below that can be

8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>called up here, so and they and they've got a

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 2>couple of their more utility type players. Certainly Romey Gonzalez

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>can can play first base as well, so we'll follow

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 2>that story. So we're continuing with our sports theme tonight.

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Again just for those of you who normally expect us

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>to talk about things all political and current events and

14
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 2>all of that. No, we'd like to take a little

15
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>bit of a breather. On Friday Night last Hour, we

16
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>spent that hour talking about Bill Belichick and his twenty

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>four year old draft choice, Jordan Hudson. Well, and I

18
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say draft choice, his BF, his new BFF, or

19
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 2>as he referred to her. There was a phrase he used,

20
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>creative muse. I never well, I think I know what

21
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>that means. But so we had some really good calls

22
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>last hour, and I want to continue this hour. It

23
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 2>was just I think it was a couple of weeks ago.

24
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not exactly sure of the date. I should, of course,

25
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>always look up something like this. That we had the

26
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 2>pleasure of talking with my guest, Marty Gitlin. Marty is

27
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>is a sports writer. We had a long conversation today

28
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>he and I and I think we got to know

29
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>each other. And I like to think I know a

30
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>little bit about sports, but Marty Gitland knows a lot.

31
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I did I know you sent an

32
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>email to that fellow we were talking about today who

33
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I haven't talked to him many years, and I had

34
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>a brief conversation with him tonight and was delightful, and

35
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk with him. Marty. Thanks for making that reintroduction

36
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>earlier this evening.

37
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 3>How are you tonight, Yeah, that was my pleasure. I'm

38
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 3>doing just fine. I'm really flattered that you having me

39
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 3>back and looking forward to talking a little bit here.

40
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So the book is entitled The Fifty Greatest Athletes

41
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>in Boston Sports History. Just for introductory douctory purposes. Introductory

42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>purposes tell us a little bit about yourself and also

43
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>tell us a little bit about the genesis of this book.

44
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>You are a prolific author. You've written a variety type

45
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>variety many type books. Let's put it like that. I'll

46
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>keep it simple. How was it that you came You

47
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 2>were a Cleveland sports writer and somehow, some way you

48
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>focused your first book dealing with the athletes of a

49
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>community on Boston. How was it that you came to

50
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the to the Boston story first?

51
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I thought if I was gonna you know, I

52
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>had the idea of doing a book or a series

53
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>of books on the greatest athletes in a particular city,

54
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 3>whether it's you know, football, basketball, hockey, baseball, you know,

55
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 3>and you know, not just limited to one sport. And

56
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I figured, if I was going to do that, Boston

57
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 3>would be the very obvious choice because of the passion

58
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 3>of the fans here and the and the you know,

59
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>the greatness of the athletes in all four sports, and

60
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 3>the fact that they have a team, you know, they've

61
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 3>had a team for decades and decades and decades and

62
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 3>all four of the major sports, So that obviously was

63
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 3>a factor as well. But I know the passion of

64
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Boston sports fans, and I thought a book like that

65
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 3>would go over really well there, yeah, now here. You know,

66
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>I moved to New England a couple of years ago

67
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 3>because I always wanted to live in New England. So

68
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 3>I lived in Cleveland, Ohio my whole lot, and moved

69
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 3>to New England in twenty twenty three.

70
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, the the thing that that is that's great about

71
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>this is that growing up as a kid in the

72
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>fifties and following sports, the National Hockey League only had

73
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 2>six teams, yeah, you know, two in Canada. For in America,

74
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>we had the number of basketball teams. You know, back

75
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>in that those days there were pro teams and places

76
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>like Cincinnati and Syracuse. In Minneapolis, there was no Los

77
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Angeleskers when until at some point that the Minneapoliskers moved

78
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>to Los Angeles and became the Los Angeleskers. Now, of

79
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>course there's the Minnesota Miny Minnesota Timberwolves. But in football,

80
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have a pro football team until the AFLKA.

81
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Right and nineteen sixty.

82
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so so we've had the benefit of the

83
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>four major sports in Boston probably as long as anybody

84
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think back. Chicago obviously has had they

85
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 2>had the benefit of two football teams uh, two baseball

86
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>teams for for a long time, but they didn't have

87
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>a basketball team and they had the Black Ops. So

88
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>until they had the Chicago Zephyrs before the Bulls, they

89
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the full complement of four teams.

90
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, Detroit I believe did right now.

91
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they did. They had the Red Wings and the

92
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Pistage for a long time. Yeah, and of course the

93
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Tigers and the Lions. Yep. Okay, so Detroit did. Philadelphia

94
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>they had a basketball team.

95
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>They they the Philadelphia Warriors.

96
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Yep, they would have the Warriors, which they became the Warriors.

97
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>So that so was Boston, Detroit, and Philadelphia. Who you

98
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>could have picked, and you picked Boston. Okay, good enough.

99
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Now a couple of just general questions, and then I'm

100
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 2>going to try to incorporate as many callers in as

101
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>we can. You picked from professional from athletes. It's the

102
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 2>fifty Greatest Boston Athletes. The name of the book is

103
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the fifty greatest athletes in Boston sports history. But you

104
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't include non professionals, for example, like Phil Rogers, the

105
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>marathon champion, or well.

106
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well there was a separate list in the book,

107
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 3>and it's kind of the back of the book where

108
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 3>I actually ranked the top twenty, I believe athletes who

109
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 3>are from Boston, who are from the you know, the

110
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 3>general Boston area, like Marciano, Tom Glavin, and so forth.

111
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I hopefully, hopefully had Marvin Hagler in.

112
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 3>There, and you know you have of course, yeah, Marvin Hagler.

113
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>But that's a separate list, and my Amazon page for

114
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 3>this particular book doesn't really make that distinction quite strong enough.

115
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 3>So I wanted to let folks know that the main

116
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 3>list of the book, the main thrust of the book

117
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>as a top fifty athletes in Boston history that that

118
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 3>were Boston uniforms and any the four major sports, and

119
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 3>then there a separate list.

120
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

121
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so on that on that separate list, I assume

122
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you had Bill Rogers, Yes, what about Nancy Carrigan or

123
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Tenley Albright?

124
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh think Kragan I believe made it. I would have

125
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 3>to actually have to look and and it's it's it's

126
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 3>I shouldn't have to because that's yeah, the book. The

127
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 3>book just came out last week. But uh, you know,

128
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 3>but I'm I'm trying to remember, I can, I can, uh,

129
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, pie trainer, there's only there's the list only

130
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 3>has I think fifteen athletes. Uh, and I ranked them

131
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 3>and I think I believe I have Rocky Marciano number one.

132
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no problem, no problem.

133
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 3>One that you know Patrick ewing was from who was?

134
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Which was which other one?

135
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Did you say, Patrick Ewings.

136
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Ridge?

137
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 3>What you're talking about?

138
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Cambridge Engine Line. Well so you had kind of a.

139
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Kiddley all Bright. There you go. Figure skating, I

140
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>do we have to.

141
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I believe she skated in the fifty six Olympics. I

142
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 2>think she wre the gold and she became a doctor,

143
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>a very significant doctor here, and she's still skating or

144
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>she's still involved with the Boston Skating Club. So what

145
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to do is I want to give our

146
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>listeners a chance, and I'm going to give people a

147
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:33.840
<v Speaker 2>chance to ask you about who's on the list. I'd

148
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>like to have people maybe give us some names that

149
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>aren't on the list. I have the list, which you

150
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>were kind enough to send to me, so I'm not

151
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>going to cheat. But I think this is one of

152
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>those great stories that you can always have conversations about.

153
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I went through the.

154
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 3>List, that's the greatest thing. And the debate, the debate

155
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 3>over my top fifty and who didn't make it and

156
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>where they're and so forth. What makes this book so

157
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 3>much fun?

158
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, I went through it on on

159
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>a little personal note. I went through it to see

160
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>how many of these athletes I have interviewed on my

161
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>radio show. And there were several that I interviewed. I'll

162
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell that to people later. And then how many

163
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>of them I interviewed when I worked as a television reporter.

164
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 2>One story that will tell clearly call Yastremsky is on

165
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the list, and I covered We covered it as a

166
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>news story in nineteen seventy eight, Yastremsky's pursuit of his

167
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>three thousandth hit and it took.

168
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Fu Oh yeah, yeah, I remember.

169
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 2>That, and it was I don't know if you remember

170
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>the picture. He got sort of a seeing eye single

171
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 2>against the Yankees, and I think Willie Randolph might have

172
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>waived on the on the ball he was. He batted

173
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>against Jim Betty who had pitched it darkness.

174
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I remember him.

175
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And so Beattie gave up his three thousand hit and

176
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>we would end up in the clubhouse on the eleven

177
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>o'clock deadline every night, and of course the games in

178
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 2>those days they went a little quicker than they did

179
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 2>in more recent years. And we would walk into the

180
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 2>clubhouse and invariably there were like three nights where Carl

181
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 2>had gone hitless, so he stuck. He was stuck at

182
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine and ninety nine, and he would be sitting

183
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>on a stool or a chair in front of his

184
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 2>locker and it he'd be puffing on a cigarette, kind

185
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of bent over. And most of the printed scribes they

186
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>they weren't looking at the deadline. I was looking at it.

187
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at eleven o'clock Liveshot deadline, and they

188
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>were all very respectful, but I had the time pressure.

189
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have to file until midnight. Maybe or they

190
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>might have had this story written, but I had to

191
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 2>get the sound, turn it around and get live outside

192
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>of Fenway Park. So it was up to me, Okay, yes,

193
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about tonight. I know it didn't work. I

194
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 2>had to ask him the most blunt questions there were.

195
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>There were none of these, well, yes, you hit the

196
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>ball twice on the line, just didn't There was none

197
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 2>of that. It was cut to the chase time, simple

198
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 2>as that. So let's let's I want people I'll give you.

199
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll give people callers up to five names. You can't

200
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>give us any more than five names. And let's see

201
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>if my audience is good enough, smart enough to get

202
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 2>as many of the top fifty. Let's have it. Let's

203
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>make this again. Let's have fun with it, okay, And

204
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 2>if anybody gets five for five, and of course the

205
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>earlier you call, you got to get five for five,

206
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you'll get a night Side T shirt. And Andrew, you

207
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>can just take down these folks names, but they got

208
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to get five for five, okay. And if they if

209
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 2>they get four out of five, no T shirt. And

210
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Andrew extra large is the biggest size T shirt we

211
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 2>have to give away. Keep that in mind. So if

212
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>someone's looking for AX, that doesn't exist anymore. So if

213
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 2>you want to participate and win a Nightside T shirt

214
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty, six one seven, nine, three, one,

215
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty, you got to hit five for five, okay.

216
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 2>And once one name is gone, it's gone. So it's

217
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>only gonna get tougher as the as the hour goes on,

218
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll be back on night Side with my guest Marty Gitlin,

<v Speaker 2>I had a tip from someone on that horse. It

286
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>was not an inside information. Tip, was just someone said

287
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you got to get a bed in on on the

288
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 2>horse that's that's named for you. It was kind of

289
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>an inside show. It was a thirty five or one shot.

290
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 4>And and no kidding, that's great.

291
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>The Steve came across the line as the winner. Then

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 2>they lost money o the Preakness in the Belmont. Anyway, Hey, look,

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 2>people who go to the track who can be triple X,

300
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>hope you're not a triple.

301
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 4>To the best. Let me just say one thing. The

302
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 4>best comic I ever heard about horse racing. It's called

303
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 4>daycare for degenerates.

304
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:48.639
<v Speaker 2>That's good, Okay, I like that. I like that. What

305
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>do they do for people who go for the dogs?

306
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, I think the dogs are even

307
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean the dog races last like thirty seconds and

308
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 2>it's over. You know, at least reason they got to

309
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>go couple of minutes.

310
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.359
<v Speaker 4>I own gray I own greyhounds when I was younger,

311
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 4>my father and they have that's a whole other story.

312
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>You got it, So stay there, we'll get you. We'll

313

315
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.400
<v Speaker 2>take those names, but I think most of my some

316
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of my callers will be able to hit some of

317
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>them if they think they got to think past the

318
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Big four. You know, Russell Brady or and Ted Williams.

319
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:33.359

338
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.839
<v Speaker 2>And I'm telling you right now, Marni, just very quickly,

339
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you have a profile on every one of these athletes.

340
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.759
<v Speaker 2>So it's not they're just not buying a book with

341
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 2>a list in it. They're buying a no.

342
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 3>No, there's a why why I ranked them where I did,

343
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 3>the total biography of each athlete, and some quotes, some

344
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 3>about the athlete from a different athlete or a different person,

345
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 3>and a quote from the athlete themselves, and some a

346
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:09.480
<v Speaker 3>lot of statistical information. It's it's a very complete list

347
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 3>and a very complete you know, uh, biography and so forth,

348
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 3>each one of these athletes and why they were ranked

349
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 3>in that particular order.

350
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 2>As they say, anyone who has a parent or a

351
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 2>grandparent who loves sports, they would, I'm sure love this book.

352
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 3>And i'd like to I'd like to tell people, you know,

353
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 3>when when the point come back, you know where they

354
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 3>can get the book autographed and personalized as well.

355
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously I assume yeah they can get it through Amazon,

356
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>but probably to get it autographed and personalized. Which is

357
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 2>even better. I assume that you have a website, and

358
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 2>so we'll make sure we yes.

359
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'll let them I'll let them know about that.

360
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Perfect. Okay, we'll be back with my guest, Marty Gitlin, sportswriter. Extraordinary,

363
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>when I talk with him today, he more than qualified himself.

364
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.559

369
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>little boy who was hit by the bus here in Boston.

374
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>good shot here. Give us five people where you think

375
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>should be in the top fifty athletes for the Boston

376
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.319
<v Speaker 2>uniform basically Celtics, Brewers, Patriots or Red Sox.

<v Speaker 3>About Larry Byrne.

385
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Clemens in here? Actually, I think Clemens should be a

386
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>little higher up, but they'll leave that alone. He pitched

387

<v Speaker 2>Great, a great pick. Sam Jones. That's two for two.

414
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Sam Jones was our playground instructor. I think when I

415
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>was twelve year old. Twelve years old in the nineteen sixties.

416
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Believe it or not, Marty, the Celtics players didn't make

417
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of money then what he did? How

418
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>about that?

419
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

420
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Go ahead, Matt, all right.

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 3>If it wasn't said to have a check, have the checks.

422
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on you three for three. Let me make sure.

423
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I just got to check it off to make sure that. Okay,

424
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.680
<v Speaker 2>we we have picked h some big ones. You're three

425
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 2>for three, you got two more?

426
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Alright?

427
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 5>Randy Moss, No, he.

428
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Didn't play long enough for the He didn't play long

429
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 3>enough for the Patriots. That was the problem. There was

430
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.400
<v Speaker 3>not enough longevity there to be in the top fifty

431
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 3>of all time.

432
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

433
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean if he had played, he had run

434
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 3>up those two kind of the statistics, maybe five or

435
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 3>six seven years. Absolutely, but he just didn't play the

436
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 3>last way.

437
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I would have said, anyway, who was the last one?

438
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.839
<v Speaker 4>The last two I would have said anyway, would have been.

439
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Kenny Hodge.

440
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Nope, No, Kenny was was a good one, was here along,

441
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>was here a long time and by the way, a

442
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>really good guy. But unfortunately, when when you hear some

443
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.599
<v Speaker 2>of the names that you missed, I'm not going to

444
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you now, but I'll at the end of the hour,

445
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll read some of the names that were missed. Okay,

446
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 2>so you got three for five. If you've got four

447
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 2>for five, because you're a regular caller, I probably would

457
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 2>some good baseball people he didn't go to, which again

458
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 2>surprises me. But that's okay. Let's go to Tim. Tim,

489
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 2>ladies and gentlemen. I just wanted for a second, Marty.

<v Speaker 3>Just to.

491
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Run a couple of names by you that didn't make

492
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.720
<v Speaker 2>the list. Okay. Uh And and just for the fun

493
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of it, you and I talked about Louis Tiant. I'm yes,

494
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a great, great friend of Louis.

495
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 3>Picture of the Cleveland Indians when I was a kid.

496
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was there the day that Moore h had

497
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.039
<v Speaker 2>no hit the Indians and Tiant was the losing picture

498
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.279
<v Speaker 2>in September of sixty five. But I would see Louis

499
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>often at a restaurant in Milton where he lived, and uh,

500
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 2>what a great guy, what what a what a great

501
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 2>guy he was?

502
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 3>He was beloved.

503
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I'm going to run a couple of names

504
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.519
<v Speaker 2>that are not here while we wait for some other calls.

505
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>Six one seven two five Ford and we got to

506
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>take a break. Six one seven, four ten thirty. Here's

507
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think here's a name that you must have

508
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>thought about. And you didn't include.

509
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Babe Ruth in there? What not to get into the book.

510
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking here really carefully at your list.

511
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 3>That you see about because he only played six years.

512
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 3>They played from nineteen fourteen to nineteen nineteen.

513
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Right, But what I'm saying is that no, so you didn't.

514
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>He's not in the top fifty. Uh I'm aheaded right now.

515
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 6>Oh my lord, And hold on, I was I could

516
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 6>have scorn I included him, and you know, that's odd

517
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.480
<v Speaker 6>that I didn't, because I was sure that I did.

518
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 6>And that's unusual because the book just freaking came out

519
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.440
<v Speaker 6>and here I am. Yes, you're right, he didn't make it.

520
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 6>He you know, obviously, you know, he was more or

521
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 6>less just a picture for the Red Sox un till

522
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.240
<v Speaker 6>the very end when when they you know, they it

523
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 6>got absolutely ridiculous that they weren't playing him every day

524
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 6>in the outfield because he was revolutionizing baseball in his bat.

525
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:57.359
<v Speaker 3>But I must have just included him as an honorable mention.

526
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.400
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, no, you're you're absolutely right, and I was.

527
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 3>I was sure that I had included him, and I

528
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 3>feel silly, but no, I don't have the babe in there.

529
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I have left the grove in there.

530
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, don't don't give away any more names here.

531
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:16.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna throw a couple at you. They

532
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't make the list real quickly, and which kind of

533
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 2>surprised me. We talked about tea on I would have

534
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 2>liked to have seen Steve Brogan on the list, and

535
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>and and Grogan played fifteen years here and was probably

536
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the most He may not have been the best Patriots quarterback,

537
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.279
<v Speaker 2>but he was the.

538
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Well obviously, yeah, I you know, and I did. I

539
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 3>did consider Grogan and he was a wonderful running quarterback,

540
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, he was he threw a lot of interceptions and.

541
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 2>He was uh, you know, I just that's okay.

542
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.759
<v Speaker 3>I would have been you know, I think if the

543
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 3>if the book was the top maybe sixty, I would

544
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 3>have had Grogan in there. Yeah. I do have a second.

545
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I do have a second Patriots quarterback in the book.

546
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I know we're gonna leave that alone for now. We're

547
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna leave that alone for now. People will probably be able.

548
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a that's a pretty good big hint. I'll just

549
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 2>tell you that Grogan is a great guy. Uh and

550
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:13.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's been on my show a couple of times.

551
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Really good guy. And so that's a little that's a

552
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 2>personal one as well. And we'll we'll go to some others.

553
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 2>But I got to take a quick break. We'll be
