1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray w Bezst's Radio.

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 2>There's a story that most of you probably have not

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 2>heard of to date. The reason you have not heard

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 2>of it is that the Boston Globe, Peter Abraham broke

5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 2>this story this morning. There's also a story from the

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Boston Herald, and it's a frightening story. It is a

7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 2>frightening story for all of us who are sports fans

8
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>and for all of us who frankly are just human beings.

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess would be the best way to describe it.

10
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>This This is a story about Jared Duran. He's the

11
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Red Sox center fielder. On most days play center field

12
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>on left field.

13
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>There was a there's a Netflix dot documentary that apparently

14
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>is going to be available later this week. It's not

15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>available up until now, and it basically follows the Red

16
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Sox during the nineteen twenty four baseball season and it's

17
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>entitled The Clubhouse. A Year with the Red Sox. So

18
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>this this details a story that you know, all in all,

19
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>it's a Netflix documentary, all in all, would be a

20
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>fairly normal sports story about a team that you know,

21
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the greatest season. They had really a five

22
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred season, they were eighty one and eighty one. They're

23
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>doing a little better this year, though they're losing tonight

24
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>in a cold, damp Fenway Park. And the story which

25
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>came out early this morning with Peter Abraham, who's been

26
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>a guest on this show before, talked about how I

27
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>quote a little bit from this story that Red Sox

28
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>outfielder Jaron Duran, he's an All Star last year, attempted

29
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>to take his own life during the twenty twenty two season.

30
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>For those of you who are Red Sox fans, you

31
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>might remember that he came up in twenty twenty one

32
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>and he came up with great expectations, many of which

33
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>he's now fulfilled. But as he was coming up, he wasn't.

34
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have the success at the big league level

35
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that he had had in the minor leagues. And as

36
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, there was one game that I remember,

37
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>and I believe it's referenced in the article, that he's

38
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>playing center field and ball has hit over his head

39
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>and he just stands there. And he explained later that

40
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, he never he lost sight of the ball,

41
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>which you know, for a major league outfielder is unthinkable,

42
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 2>and so in the fourth episode, Peter Abraham writs in

43
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the Globe and you'll see his article tomorrow of the Clubhouse.

44
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>A year with the Red Sox. This is sort of

45
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>like what they did with the NFL teams, you know,

46
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>they it's all they're just doing these these programs which

47
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>are interesting. In the NFL, they call it hard Knocks,

48
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 2>and they every year will cover one or two teams

49
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>in their training camp from you know, late July until

50
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the first game of the year. But they covered the

51
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox for the entire season last year. And it's

52
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>it's in the fourth episode. I don't know how many

53
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>episodes there are. The episode focused on errors and other

54
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>mistakes made by duran in twenty twenty two. Now at

55
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>this point he's a major league ballplayer, and you know

56
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>he's he's he's struggling with his success or in some cases,

57
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess lack thereof. And Durana's Quota is saying it

58
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>honestly felt like a dark cloud over me because it's

59
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>so easy to look past the positive things for me

60
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and to grab onto the negative things. I would think

61
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>every day, I can't explative delete it, do this. I

62
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>couldn't deal with telling myself how much I I, you know,

63
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>explative deleted every day, Like I was already hearing it

64
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>from the Fians, Like what did they say to me?

65
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>It's like I haven't told myself ten times worse than

66
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that in the mirror. So this is a guy who's

67
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>tough on himself. That was like a really tough time

68
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>for me. It was a pretty low time for me.

69
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even want to be here anymore again, according

70
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 2>to the Peter Abraham piece in the Globe, and they

71
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>had been shown I guess some of the Globe reporters

72
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>were given a preview of this and they had a

73
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>they were told that they could not write about it.

74
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 2>It was what they call in the media business and

75
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>embargo until this morning. And that's the way in which

76
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>some interest in the story is built. Duran is then

77
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>asked by director Greg Whitley what he meant by that

78
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>comment quote it was a pretty low time for me,

79
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>like I didn't even want to be here anymore. Duran answers.

80
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I got to the point where I was sitting in

81
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 2>my room. I had a rifle and I had a bullet,

82
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and I pulled the trigger and the gun clicked, but

83
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 2>nothing happened. Duran said, to this day, I think God

84
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>just didn't let me take my own life, because I

85
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>seriously I don't know why it didn't go off, but

86
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I took it as a sign of like, all right,

87
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I might have to be here for a reason. So

88
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>that's when I started to look myself in the mirror.

89
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>After the gun didn't go off, I was like, all right, well,

90
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>do I want to be here or do I not

91
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 2>want to be here? Left unexplained, according to Abraham in

92
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the Netflix documentary, was why Durant had a rifle in

93
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>his possession. That's of less interest to me the fact

94
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>that he apparently went through and pulled the trigger. Now.

95
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>In the article by Peter Abraham, Red Sox president Sam

96
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy said, look, his decision, meaning Duran's decision to share

97
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>this story, is an act of coverage that reaches farby

98
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>on baseball. By opening up, he's showing others who may

99
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>be struggling they're not alone and then asking for help.

100
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Isn't just okay, it's essential. Sounds to me like this

101
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>was spontaneous. I haven't seen the documentary. Some of the

102
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox writers have seen the documentary, but it sounds

103
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>me as if he just made a comment to the

104
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to the filmmaker, and the filmmaker was listening to the

105
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 2>answer to the answers and decided, okay, I'm going to

106
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>follow up. So to me, it's an extraordinary story. Now

107
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>that is not to say that there have not been

108
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, young major league players who have not you know,

109
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>taken their own life. There was a story about a

110
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 2>picture for the Los Angeles Angels might have been the

111
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 2>California Angels at the time, guy named Donnie Moore, who

112
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>most lover time Red Sox fans will remember through that

113
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>home run pitch to Dave Henderson which are propelled the

114
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox into the eighty six World Series in the

115
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>American League playoffs against the Angels. But Duran had not

116
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>dealt with anything that horrific in terms of a big

117
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>pitch on a big stage, and the game was that

118
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>was decided by the pitch. So, you know, mental health,

119
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>we would understand if a ballplayer is injured and you know,

120
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>he breaks an ankle, breaks his wrist, he's out. We

121
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 2>understand that. But to me, it's an amazing story and

122
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I am looking forward to watching this story and I'm

123
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>hoping that some of you might want to comment on

124
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it now. Duran also had a problem a year ago

125
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 2>and he shouted out an explictive deleted UH directed at

126
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a fan that he thought was gay when the fan

127
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 2>had heckled him a little bit. Uh. In the article

128
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>in the Herald, the Herald writer talks about some concerns

129
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>that that he that that Duran has, and we'll get

130
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to some of that. But but what I'd like to do, Yeah,

131
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>this is what the Herald writers said. I guess. At

132
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 2>one point, Duran said. At one point midway through the

133
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>show's runtime, Jared Duran compares the existence of a big

134
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 2>league player to that of a zoo animal. We're in

135
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 2>this big old cage, the outfielder said. People are trying

136
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to throw popcorn at you, get a picture with you,

137
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>get your attention, scream your name. Yet, for all the

138
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>fame and fortune, the mini ball players enjoy the clubhouse

139
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a year with the Red Sox makes a concerted effort

140
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>to drive a simple point home. At the end of

141
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the day, these players, coaches, and staffers are all human,

142
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>which is great to understand. This is I think it's

143
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>an amazing story and we've we've seen the stories here

144
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 2>in New England of Aaron Hernandez, the Patriots, uh tight end,

145
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>who who ended up in prison and committed committed suicide

146
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in prison. So look, the same thing that affects all

147
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 2>of us affects profess some athletes and celebrities of all sorts.

148
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'd love to have you join the conversation. I

149
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>know you probably haven't seen the Netflix film, uh, the

150
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>special this uh this Netflix Discovery presentation, but I'd like

151
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 2>to like to hear what you think if you have,

152
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you've heard about the story. So you've heard

153
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>it from me, maybe you've heard it on your own

154
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>six one seven, two five, four ten thirty six one seven,

155
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>nine thirty be right back here on Nightside.

156
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's

157
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

158
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, there have been some ugly incidents in sports.

159
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Sports is something that for most of us supposed to

160
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>be an enjoyable experience, and there had been ugly incidents

161
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. I remember when outfielder for the Orioles a

162
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>few years ago was the object of some racial slurs.

163
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Pretty ugly incident. I remember being at Fenway Park. It's

164
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>got to be I don't know ten or twelve years ago,

165
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and there was a player named Albert Bell who was

166
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 2>sort of, you know, supposing a bad guy. I mean,

167
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, a good guy for the opposition wings him

168
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a bad guy here in Boston, and there was some

169
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>punk kids, you know, in their teens or late teens,

170
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>early twenties yelling you know, some really rough stuff at

171
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Albert also known as Joey Bell, and you know, Belle,

172
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>it had some you know, some dumb incidents that he

173
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>had been allegedly involved in. I think they were sort

174
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 2>of domestic abuse type, ugly incidents. But these people, these

175
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>guys were yelling stuff at Albert Bell, and I was

176
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 2>thinking to myself, these guys had met him after the game,

177
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>like out of the street, they'd be asking for his autograph,

178
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 2>never mind yelling some of the stuff that they're yelling

179
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>at him right now. And you know it shows the uh,

180
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, the lack of car or the coverage that

181
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 2>people have when they know that these players cannot get

182
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 2>at them. I mean, the the oil outfield was Adam Jones,

183
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>who by all accounts is just a great guy. And

184
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, he happened to be a black ball player,

185
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>African American player, and people yelling racial epithets at him.

186
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>This was this was kind of recently, like you know,

187
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>eight or nine years ago, something that Boston is not

188
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>proud of. So, you know, in Duran's case, it sounds

189
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to me like he was cracking under the pressure. Uh.

190
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 2>And thank goodness that he has had some success. And

191
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe by doing an honest interview in this documentary, this

192
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Netflix documentary, it'll help other people. I don't know. Uh,

193
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 2>we normally don't talk about a lot of sports issues here,

194
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>but this is much more than a sports issue. Let

195
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 2>me talk with Lawrence in West Roxbury. Hey, Lawrence, I

196
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you calling in you first to Saturn Nitsig, Go

197
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>right ahead.

198
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 4>I've come to say is that people that come up

199
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 4>in the major leagues, uh, you know, the big deal

200
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 4>either you're going to make it or something could happen

201
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 4>and you're never going to make it. And a lot

202
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 4>of pressure on these young men, uh as they enter

203
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 4>that period of their baseball career. And uh, you know,

204
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 4>sometimes ordinary folks like us forget that and don't have

205
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.720
<v Speaker 4>a full appreciation of the pressure that's on them, and

206
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 4>and that some of the things that could happen if

207
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 4>they don't get help and assistance along the way so

208
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 4>allows you to happen. And I can't remember all of

209
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 4>the situations over the eighty eight years that I've been around,

210
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 4>but the things have happened, and the young people come

211
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.720
<v Speaker 4>to the Major League said, there's unfortunate and pretty sad,

212
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.679
<v Speaker 4>and that's what I just wanted to say.

213
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you're right. I mean again, most or many

214
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>young young men, boys, you know, dream of getting to

215
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the big leagues. They obviously very few get that opportunity.

216
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>And if someone is up there and they're not fulfilling

217
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>their own expectations, and apparently Jared Duran and I remember

218
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 2>his struggles. I remember watching him. He was up and

219
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>down between Worcester and the Red Sox, and then eventually

220
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 2>things clicked for him and he had he was an

221
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>All Star last year. But to think that at whatever

222
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 2>age it was, whether he was, you know, twenty four

223
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>or twenty five or twenty six, that the pressure of

224
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball would cause him to not only contemplate,

225
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>but actually to take the gun and pull the trigger.

226
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Boy, I never reached that point. But when I first

227
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 4>was in the Air Force in Palotrain, I had a

228
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 4>palot training instructor from Georgia and I'm from Massachusetts, and

229
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 4>he wasn't quite sure that I'd appreciate Yankees in any way,

230
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 4>shape or form. Yeah, And I had a couple of

231
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 4>bad days in the pilot chating arena and there was

232
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 4>some danger that I might be plunked out. And I

233
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.799
<v Speaker 4>remember how I felt. I didn't get to the point of,

234
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, thinking about doing something stupid, but it was

235
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:59.720
<v Speaker 4>a terrible, terrible feeling because I was out of my control,

236
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 4>I can understand. And uh so I just wanted to

237
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 4>say that and uh and I got by that. They

238
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 4>sent me up to the head instructor and they had

239
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.200
<v Speaker 4>intectors and I was a good pilot training. Yeah, and

240
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I just got a sign to another instructor and that

241
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 4>that's how it worked out, and it was fine. But

242
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 4>I remember the feeling. It was just loud.

243
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

244
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean yeah, yeah, And again you amplify that

245
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Obviously, the pressure that you were under

246
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>was a different type of pressure. You know, you were

247
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 2>under pressure of life and death and if you made

248
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>mistakes that could you know, that could come back to

249
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>haunt you or other people. Ballplayers under the professorship perform

250
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, all right.

251
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of a lot of similarities.

252
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hear I hear you, I hear you. I

253
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you taking the time, uh to call in Lawrence,

254
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and and I hope some others will will chime in.

255
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 2>This is a tough subject to talk about. I wanted

256
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.759
<v Speaker 2>to have you know, a psychologist and expert type join

257
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>us tonight, but where not fortunate enough to have someone

258
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>who knows more about this than I do. But I'm

259
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>i'd like, I just want to talk about it because

260
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 2>people will read about it tomorrow, and I want him

261
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to understand that. You know, there has been some interesting,

262
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, other players who have h you know, ended

263
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 2>their lives, and again we tend to forget them. But

264
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at a list here and I'm surprised at

265
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>some of the people who have who have decided, most

266
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:43.480
<v Speaker 2>of them post career. You know, Darren Durant, Jared Jared

267
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>duran if he had ever accomplished what he tried to do,

268
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>that would have been someone who did it, you know,

269
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 2>at the height of his career, So that would have

270
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>been that would have been a little bit different, a

271
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>little different, as you know, in terms of timing let

272
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.079
<v Speaker 2>me put it like that. Anyway, I will let you run, Lawrence.

273
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I thank you for your call, thank you for your service.

274
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Good night. Oh go take a break if this is

275
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>of no interest. I think it's a horrific story and

276
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that it has not resulted in any damage.

277
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>And I'm actually very glad that Duran has decided to

278
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about it because maybe it will, uh, it will

279
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.839
<v Speaker 2>be a lesson to other athletes that you know, it's

280
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.880
<v Speaker 2>nothing is nothing is worth that, and thank God that

281
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>that bullet didn't go off. So we'll take a break.

282
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 2>If you want to talk about it, great. If you're not,

283
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll do something else. We'll be back on Night's Side

284
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven thirty six, seven nine three.

285
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>If you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w

286
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>B Boston's.

287
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 2>News radio, Thanks Zanne, thank you very much. We're talking

288
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>about a sad story, but it's actually a good story

289
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 2>because it shows that Jaron Duran may be lucky that

290
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>that gun didn't go didn't fire. He said that there

291
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 2>was a bullet in the chamber and that it didn't fire.

292
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 2>And he's now playing for the Red Sox and actually

293
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 2>it was an All Star last year. He's doing really well,

294
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 2>but it does. It is a lesson and tomorrow you'll

295
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 2>see a lot more of this. I'm sure he's going

296
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to be talked. He'll have probably be asked about it

297
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>after the game tonight and you'll see some of this

298
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 2>some Netflix documentary. Let me go to Laurie. Laurie is

299
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>in Idaho, and Laurie, I know you sent me a

300
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 2>message earlier today about this story, but we actually had

301
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>decided to do it even earlier in the day. It's

302
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a shocking story.

303
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 5>In my opinion, it is, it really is.

304
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 6>I was very surprised, and I appreciate the heads up.

305
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, it sounds like there's a little more going

306
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 6>on than just he was not happy with his performance,

307
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.559
<v Speaker 6>but thank goodness that gun failed.

308
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I think the Netflix. I don't know if

309
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.839
<v Speaker 2>you read Peter Abraham's piece or the piece that was

310
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>in the Herald, but I think that he's dealt with

311
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 2>some of these issues. He was on a fast to

312
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>get to the Red Sox and he kind of had,

313
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're kind of a stop and start in

314
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 2>his first couple of years. But he's played in the

315
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>major leagues and then has come back and now has

316
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>established himself, so that pressure is off. But in the

317
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Netflix documentary, I guess he had some comments about he

318
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 2>had his dad, and I hope he still has a

319
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>good relationship with his dad. His dad was kind of

320
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 2>a strict guy and wanted him to be successful, and

321
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 2>felt his dad pushed him a little bit too much.

322
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, do you remember the play where I

323
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you saw this play, but he's playing

324
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.680
<v Speaker 2>center field, and I think it was a day game

325
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 2>actually and not a night game. Just lost the ball

326
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 2>off the bat, had no idea where it was, and

327
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>just stood there sort of looking helpless, and the ball landed,

328
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, thirty five feet or forty feet behind him

329
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 2>as the gun circles the bases. I mean, it was

330
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.359
<v Speaker 2>sort of an embarrassing moment. It's one thing to drop

331
00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a ball, but it's another thing not to see it.

332
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if if that was a factor, as

333
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, in that decision, but and I know the

334
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>fans were really tough on him at that point.

335
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, I do. I didn't I didn't see that one,

336
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 6>and I didn't realize that he mentioned it tonight, But

337
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 6>I do remember him barking back at a fan and

338
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 6>who was heckling him, and I just who knows. I mean,

339
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 6>if he's if he's having trouble mentally and you just

340
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 6>lose focus you're standing out there in the field and

341
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.400
<v Speaker 6>your mind wanders, or he's you know, obsessing on things

342
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.759
<v Speaker 6>for you know, like I said, like I think maybe

343
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 6>his father's given credit for you know, having getting a

344
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 6>career going that he's got. But I have a feeling

345
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 6>he was probably a little bit tough on him, which

346
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I don't know. Yeah, and he also he

347
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:40.440
<v Speaker 6>could be thinking he's letting his father down if he's not,

348
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, performing, So I think there's a multifaceted reason.

349
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 6>But I'm just really glad that gun didn't go off.

350
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm looking at this story Red Sox center field

351
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 2>of Jared Duran gives up it inside the park Grand

352
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Slam because he loses the ball and then doesn't chase

353
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:09.839
<v Speaker 2>after it. He literally was standing there kind of looking

354
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.039
<v Speaker 2>totally confused and lost, and the ball went over zone.

355
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Even at Fenway Park, the most you're gonna get maybe

356
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 2>is you know, a double, will give up a couple

357
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of runs. But he was just standing there. I'm looking

358
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 2>at the video now, and he has no clue where

359
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the ball is, and I'm trying to see I'm trying

360
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to figure out the date on this, but it would

361
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 2>have been it would have been at least a couple Yeah,

362
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 2>it was in It was August seventh or twenty twenty two.

363
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, huh so, yeah, well, you know, it's funny that

364
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 6>the radio guys last day were here. Was the first

365
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.839
<v Speaker 6>the second game they were, they clearly had seen or

366
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.200
<v Speaker 6>had in the preview of the thing. They had just

367
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 6>kept making references to this little thing. But I didn't

368
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 6>say anything other than everything Duran did that was good

369
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 6>yesterday they were cheering all over.

370
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, but by the way, it was actually I'm mistaken.

371
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:01.079
<v Speaker 2>It was a night game, and because you know, he

372
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't run after the ball because the one of the

373
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>other Red Sox outfielders had gotten the ball. But it

374
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.920
<v Speaker 2>turned out to be an inside the park grand slam

375
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.079
<v Speaker 2>home run. They happen to be playing Toronto tonight. Uh,

376
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.799
<v Speaker 2>And it said fifty five seconds of Jaron Duran missing

377
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.440
<v Speaker 2>balls in center field. And yeah, I don't know if

378
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 2>that was the only time or not, but the heading

379
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>gears says, yeah, and there was one during during the

380
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>day this one is was I think out in Kansas City,

381
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 2>that was when he tried to catch and he just

382
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't get it. But the other one, the one in

383
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>with against Toronto, it's just he's he's he's like looking

384
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>up saying where is it? And thirty five feet beyond him,

385
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 2>So he was I was, he was having some trouble.

386
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 6>And I don't nobody's perfect.

387
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's perfect, and catching fly balls in center field in

388
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the major league park is a lot more difficult than

389
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>people would imagine. They make it look easy. Hey, Laurie, exactly, Thanks,

390
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it.

391
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 6>Good, I thank you.

392
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh, let me go to Phil in Boston. Phil, how

393
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 2>are you tonight? Welcome?

394
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I'm not a big baseball guy, but I guess

395
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 7>the only good news you can get out of this

396
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 7>is that maybe someone's feeling kind of bad about themselves

397
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 7>might take a lesson from this gentleman. When you mentioned that,

398
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.160
<v Speaker 7>and I didn't know anything about the missing the ball,

399
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.400
<v Speaker 7>that could be you know, you're you're young and vulnerable.

400
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 7>That could be very impard your whole family. I mean,

401
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 7>you know they don't judge.

402
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 8>You for this.

403
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 7>It's I don't know, I'm biting uple. I get you here.

404
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 7>But I heard about this gentleman, and I get the

405
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.000
<v Speaker 7>gut a lot of credit for being out there and

406
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.359
<v Speaker 7>honest with people. Maybe given someone said, you know, if

407
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 7>you're thinking about your flum counting school, they get caught

408
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 7>in the stock. You know, maybe you know this whole,

409
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 7>maybe you know it could be a lesson hopefully you know.

410
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean again to think you know there

411
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have been if if you google something like you know

412
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.279
<v Speaker 2>major league players who've committed suicide. He would not have

413
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>been the first. There's a lot there, you know, over

414
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred years in.

415
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:21.200
<v Speaker 7>The chest guess his brain for the Oh yeah.

416
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 2>As they said, I don't want to get into get

417
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>into that. But Phil, the point that I think you're

418
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 2>making is a good one, and that he mentions it.

419
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 2>He tells the story. Hopefully there'll be some people who

420
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.240
<v Speaker 2>will take a lesson from it. I mean, it almost

421
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>sounds like he believes, according to the one of the

422
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 2>articles that that the bullet was in the chamber, the

423
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 2>gun did go off. Let mean, let me tell you

424
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about surviving a near death experience. That would have

425
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 2>been a self inflicted near death experienced.

426
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.640
<v Speaker 7>Well, luckily it wasn't familiar with weapons.

427
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know. Hopefully the next time someone's at

428
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:06.839
<v Speaker 2>the ballpark and they want to boot someone, they'll think

429
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>about Duran.

430
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 7>People pay money to go in and I mean, did

431
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.400
<v Speaker 7>you I guess, to go in there expose all these

432
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 7>people throwing things that don't respect it. I mean, it's

433
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 7>kind of like.

434
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I look, I think he may have overstated that a

435
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit. I mean, there was that play last in

436
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>the in the World Series last year when Rookie Betts

437
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>was trying to catch a fly ball and a couple

438
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 2>of these idiot fans in New York kind of held

439
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>on to him.

440
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 7>All right, yeah, okay.

441
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>They've been being that's the that's the exception. I mean, look,

442
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>you got to block it out of your head. They'll

443
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 2>cheer you when you when you're doing well, and they'll

444
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 2>boo you when you when you're.

445
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 5>Not doing that.

446
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 7>I don't know how you play baseball. You're a kid.

447
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 7>I don't know how. I mean, getting cheating boon that

448
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 7>can be kind of discoverishing. I mean was good.

449
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know, most of us, most of us

450
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 2>be included. When you played baseball, there was never a

451
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 2>big crowd. But you know, once you get to the

452
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>minor leagues and then to the major leagues, there's a

453
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 2>big crowd, and you've got fifty or sixty thousand people

454
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 2>who are critiquing your work. I'm sitting here doing my

455
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.359
<v Speaker 2>show talking to you, and there's probably some people out

456
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 2>there who are swearing at the radio and don't like me,

457
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not going to hear them. Okay, it's not

458
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>like I got ten thousand people sitting here watching me.

459
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 7>Do exactly exactly.

460
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, hopefully it's a lesson for other people and

461
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>hopefully that.

462
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:35.880
<v Speaker 7>Will und you could you pronounce how's this? How'd you

463
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 7>pronounce the general's name? And how old is he?

464
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>He's about twenty I think he's now twenty eight. His

465
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>name is first name is Jaron j A r r

466
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 2>e N Duran d u r a N. And there's

467
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>young guy who you know, was identified as being one

468
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:55.599
<v Speaker 2>of these guys who was going to be a good

469
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and he did. He is. He made the All Star

470
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 2>team a year ago, and he's you know, he's done

471
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 2>very well for himself. But I'll say say he had

472
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that moment in time when.

473
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 7>He sounds like a decent person who admits to what

474
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 7>could have happened, should have happened? I think Amain. The

475
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 7>thing here is he'll teach other people, maybe male, female, whatever,

476
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 7>that maybe you can just go to off that little

477
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 7>point and keep on going.

478
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 5>You know.

479
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>What, unlesson here, A lot of people are going to

480
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>see this when this Netflix documentary Discovery Channel you know

481
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.519
<v Speaker 2>is is shown, and I know that, I know that

482
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 2>this publicity is going to make more people interested in

483
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 2>seeing it.

484
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 7>There's to see him on a boat with his family

485
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 7>and a couple of kids, sailed down a Caribbean, relaxed

486
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:49.920
<v Speaker 7>and joined himself looking back on what should would have

487
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 7>could have?

488
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, well, I think he's got to career in

489
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.880
<v Speaker 2>front of him, he's I think he's past the crisis point.

490
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's hope and he never worries. But but the this

491
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>this series, it's a it's a documentary is going to

492
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 2>be released tomorrow at the fourth episode, the Clubhouse, A

493
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Year with the Red Sox, in which he he describes this.

494
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure it's going to be well watched by

495
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>baseball fans.

496
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 7>That A twenty five said, how is it going to

497
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:22.880
<v Speaker 7>be Discovery Channel?

498
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.000
<v Speaker 2>You got to you gotta have the to get the

499
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Discovery Channel it's on I think it's Netflix or something

500
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>like that. I don't know, but I'm sure the newscast

501
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>will cover it as well filmed. Okay, we'll take a

502
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.480
<v Speaker 2>break here if you'd like to chime in on this.

503
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I think I say hats off to Jared Duran for

504
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:53.759
<v Speaker 2>uh fessing up to this. I I have no idea

505
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 2>if he had told his teammates about it. I suspect

506
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>he hadn't. I have no idea if you talk to

507
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 2>sports writers about it. I suspect he probably hadn't, because

508
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I think someone would have, you know, put it, put

509
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:12.400
<v Speaker 2>it out there previously. But this was a documentary by Netflix,

510
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 2>and the story broke this morning. Peter Abraham of the

511
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Boston Globe staff wrote, we've had Peter on the program.

512
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 2>It's the fourth episode, the Clubhouse, A Year with the

513
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox, in which Duran describes trying to shoot himself

514
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>with a rifle but the weapon did not discharge. I mean,

515
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 2>what a tragedy, What a tragedy that that would have been.

516
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 2>And thank God, as he says that the rifle did

517
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:47.559
<v Speaker 2>not discharge, and and I'm sure that he is I

518
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>guess he has spoken publicly about struggles with mental health,

519
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>which I suspect all of us at some point have

520
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:00.039
<v Speaker 2>a struggle, but it doesn't get to that point. And

521
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.279
<v Speaker 2>if you want to chime in, I'm gonna I'd like

522
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to finish out this hour six one, seven, two, five, four,

523
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty, six, seven, nine, three thirty. We're not a

524
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.079
<v Speaker 2>sports show, but this would be a big news story tomorrow.

525
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:16.640
<v Speaker 2>It'll be in both Boston newspapers. I didn't I watched

526
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of the Red Sox game tonight. They

527
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't watch the pregame show, so I don't know if

528
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 2>they talked about it tonight. This might be the first

529
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 2>time you're hearing about it. Feel free if you have

530
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:27.279
<v Speaker 2>a question, or if you have an observation, or if

531
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you yourself have ever been to that point where you

532
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>have actually contemplated suicide, feel free to join the conversation,

533
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 2>or if you're a a professional medical professional that wants

534
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.720
<v Speaker 2>to jump on here. We reached out today to a

535
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of people. Peter Abraham was not available. He's been

536
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>on our show before. The Red Sox had a former

537
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.680
<v Speaker 2>major league pitcher named Bob Tewksbury, who I guess has

538
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>a psychology degree, and for a while he was sort

539
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of a guy that was dealing with the with the players.

540
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that he's still is in the employee

541
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 2>of the Red Sox. We tried to reach out to

542
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 2>him today without success. But I'm reaching out to you

543
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 2>six one seven four thirty six one seven nine three

<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

549
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a tough subject to talk about. Going a

550
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.640
<v Speaker 2>couple more callers, and I appreciate them taking the time.

<v Speaker 2>then I'm going to get kennon Waltham. Hi, Danielle, how

<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

557
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, a friend of mine calls it moan day, and

558
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>today felt like a moan day with the with the weather.

559
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 8>We had snow here, did you really not?

560
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no accumulation. I'm sure right, I hope no.

561
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 8>The ground was too one, but it was coming if

562
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 8>the ground was colder, it was coming down pretty good.

563
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 8>From about seven am to eleven. Yeah, it's crazy. So

564
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.799
<v Speaker 8>I had some business to do in my car today.

565
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:08.960
<v Speaker 8>So I, being a very loyal and long time WBZ

566
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 8>customer listener, I had w BV on and I was

567
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 8>down a little bit low because I was, you know,

568
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 8>preoccupied driving, and I heard him mentioned Jared Durant suicide.

569
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 8>So I'm like, well, what the what. So I turned

570
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 8>it up and I'm like, huh, And I don't have

571
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 8>to tell you. It was like a jab in the stomach.

572
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 10>He's a Wu socks guy, so you know he's in

573
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 10>took get colder and have you know, we feel like

574
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 10>another level of personal relationship in direct relationships.

575
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 8>With these guys. So I was like, you've got to

576
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 8>be kidding me. So, I mean, I actually get a

577
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 8>lump in the back of my throat. It was really

578
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 8>devastating to hear. But kudos to him for sharing that

579
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 8>story and maybe hitting the hearts of the roots of

580
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.960
<v Speaker 8>some people out there, because you know, you matter. People

581
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 8>need to understand they matter. Like it's never so bad

582
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.759
<v Speaker 8>you have to take your life. It's just not and

583
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 8>you're not fixing the problem because you're leaving behind people

584
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 8>to be so sad, so hurt, so upset for the

585
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 8>rest of their lives on earth. So don't be you know,

586
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:18.440
<v Speaker 8>and maybe you're not thinking that it's selfish, but at

587
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.400
<v Speaker 8>the end of the day, it kind of is. And

588
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:24.079
<v Speaker 8>I think that's always someone that will help you. Don't

589
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 8>do it. You're valuable, you matter.

590
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got it so well, said Danielle. You've got

591
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.079
<v Speaker 2>to have the corrich to seek some help. I think

592
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 2>this guy worked through on his own, and I think

593
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that he's sorr as a sign from God that the

594
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 2>that the gun didn't go off.

595
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 8>He pulled the I mean, that is the most unbelievable story.

596
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:45.159
<v Speaker 8>I mean believable, but just unimaginable, unthinkable.

597
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, the documentary gets released tomorrow. It is

598
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 2>episode four, and it's entitled Still Alive. What a What

599
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 2>a title? What a title.

600
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 8>Everyone's going to see you and it's it's just devastating.

601
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.239
<v Speaker 8>Suicide has always struck me. As you know, we've all

602
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.199
<v Speaker 8>had bad days. We've all said, oh my god, I

603
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 8>just read to be gag. I mean, but no, I

604
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.280
<v Speaker 8>wouldn't rather be. I mean, to carry through that act

605
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 8>of killing yourself is you've got to be in a

606
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 8>place that I can't even very and I just it

607
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 8>just I just feel like it's never bad, it's never

608
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:19.679
<v Speaker 8>bad enough. And we live in twenty twenty five where,

609
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, technology enables us to communicate so many ways.

610
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 8>You can be behind a cup home, behind a screen,

611
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 8>nobody has to see your face.

612
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I'd be remiss if I did mention, you know, the

613
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Samaritans that there's that twenty four hour hotline. Daniel. I

<v Speaker 2>in wal Dame. Can't appreciate your calling. You're going to

<v Speaker 2>wrap the hour for us, Go right ahead, Ken.

621
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:55.440
<v Speaker 7>So.

622
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:59.800
<v Speaker 5>I remember the All Star Game last year and Durian was.

623
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.880
<v Speaker 11>Saying that he got on the phone with his dad

624
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 11>and right before the game, I guess, and or when

625
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.079
<v Speaker 11>he heard that he made the team, and they both

626
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.840
<v Speaker 11>broke down in tears. And I was thinking, you know,

627
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 11>kind of like what you said, this is every boy's dream, but.

628
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.719
<v Speaker 5>Boy that's a little over the top.

629
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.239
<v Speaker 7>You know.

630
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Well, now I think we know maybe why they are

631
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:23.920
<v Speaker 5>such an emotional moment for the film.

632
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean I would think that anyone, you know,

633
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 2>if they had a relationship with their dad and a

634
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of them. You know, guys, do you see this

635
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 2>young guy who's a rookie coming up for the Red

636
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Sox and his parents are there. It seems that every

637
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.039
<v Speaker 2>game I watched the Sox over the weekend, and he

638
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.760
<v Speaker 2>was a relatively unheralded young player, and he's done very well.

639
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.159
<v Speaker 2>And he just signed I get think a six year

640
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.280
<v Speaker 2>contract or whatever in our an eight year contract, so

641
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:54.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's going to be with the Red Sox

642
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:57.039
<v Speaker 2>for a while. But yeah, I just think that it'll

643
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:02.400
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see this there the the the documentary

644
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.639
<v Speaker 2>gets released tomorrow. I suspect that they will released some

645
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.199
<v Speaker 2>of this because this is going to cause a lot

646
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 2>of people to want to watch this and see it

647
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.199
<v Speaker 2>for themselves. So Bill and hopefully it'll be a lesson

648
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you know that, Hey, everything doesn't go perfectly. He ends

649
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.800
<v Speaker 2>up as an All Star and I guess he was

650
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>also the MVP of the All Star Game a year ago,

651
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.559
<v Speaker 2>which yeah, you know, you got a big hit in

652
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Game. I mean, it's not like being

653
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the MVP of a season, but certainly that's something that

654
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:33.960
<v Speaker 2>very few players can ever client can ever you know?

655
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Say so, Yeah, Ken, I appreciate you taking the time

656
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to call the people call tonight were really interesting because

657
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a subject that people are unfamiliar with. And

658
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm very much indebted to you, with Lawrence and Laurie

659
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:49.840
<v Speaker 2>and Phil and Danielle for filling out the hour with

660
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:51.519
<v Speaker 2>me tonight. I really do appreciate it.

661
00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:55.239
<v Speaker 5>Do I have time for one more thing?

662
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Or yeah?

663
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 11>I was just thinking about priorities and as much younger man.

664
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 11>I think you probably remember Dwight Gooden and he had

665
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:12.559
<v Speaker 11>to leave baseball because it can addiction. And I remember

666
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 11>one of his teammates. I don't remember who it was,

667
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.360
<v Speaker 11>but he said, you know, I don't care if he

668
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 11>ever plays baseball again, you.

669
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.480
<v Speaker 5>Know, I just hope he gets better. Yes, And I

670
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.239
<v Speaker 5>remember thinking, what are you crazy?

671
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you must have been a Mets fan at the time.

672
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I love Dwight good and uh, I just

673
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 5>as I grew up, you know, even though I was

674
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 5>an adult when this happened, I sort of started to

675
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.239
<v Speaker 5>get it that maybe baseball.

676
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I mean, that's a that's a passing phase in

677
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 2>everyone's life, you know, and and at some point it

678

<v Speaker 2>answer everybody, whether it's in little league or high school,

679
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:54.880

680
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.920

696
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:57.400
<v Speaker 12>I'm Dan Watkins. Here's what's happening. Karen Reid's defense attorneys

697
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:01.119
<v Speaker 12>have sent another request to the US supre Court. This time,

698
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.000
<v Speaker 12>they're asking the nation's highest court to step in and

699
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:08.159
<v Speaker 12>delay jury selection as they consider another request to have

700
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:11.719
<v Speaker 12>two of the three charges against her dismissed. Meanwhile, no

701
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:14.920
<v Speaker 12>new jurors were added to the panel today. According to

702
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 12>CBS News Boston, there's still just ten members of the

703
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:20.519
<v Speaker 12>jury so far, five men and five women, with the

704
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.760
<v Speaker 12>ultimate goal being sixteen jurors. Read's accused of killing her boyfriend,

705
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:28.639
<v Speaker 12>Boston police officer John O'Keeffe in January of twenty twenty two.

706
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 12>She's pleaded not guilty to second degree murder, manslaughter while

707
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Speaker 12>operating under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene

708
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.000
<v Speaker 12>of personal injury and death. Her attorneys say she's being framed.

709
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.599
<v Speaker 12>Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahoo visited President Trump and

710
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.960
<v Speaker 12>Washington today. He's the first foreign leader to visit the

711
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:50.920
<v Speaker 12>White House since last week's tariffs. Whether the visit succeeds

712
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:54.480
<v Speaker 12>in bringing down or eliminating Israel's tariffs remains to be seen,

713
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 12>but how it plays out could set the stage for

714
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.719
<v Speaker 12>how other world leaders try to address.

715
00:40:59.280 --> 00:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>The new tariff.

716
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.840
<v Speaker 12>President Trump answered questions on his plan.

717
00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:06.800
<v Speaker 13>We have many, many countries that are coming to negotiate

718
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.000
<v Speaker 13>deals with US, and they're going to be fair deals.

719
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 13>In certain cases, they're going to be paying substantial tariffs.

720
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:17.840
<v Speaker 12>Meanwhile, the President says he's considering more tariffs on China.

721
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 12>CBS Stacy Linn has more.

722
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.800
<v Speaker 9>Underterred by a volatile stock market, President Trump has threatened

723
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:27.599
<v Speaker 9>additional tariffs on China after Beijing retaliated.

724
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:32.039
<v Speaker 13>They put a thirty four percent tariff on above what

725
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:34.119
<v Speaker 13>their ridiculous tariffs were already.

726
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:38.400
<v Speaker 9>He issued China a new ultimatum remove its retaliatory tariff
