Speaker 2: to seven e LA Sports. It's Tim Kates and Steve Sacks.
Speaker 1: No lead up to the World Series begins.
Speaker 3: Scam is on the air on this Tuesday morning, October
Speaker 3: twenty second. Sacks Kates in the am here on AMPI
Speaker 3: seventy LA Sports. Thanks for being with us on this
Speaker 3: Tuesday morning, Tim Kates joined by a two time World
Speaker 3: Series champion, Rookie of the Year and arguably the best
Speaker 3: number three oh ever for your Los Angeles Dodgers, Steve Sacks.
Speaker 1: Saxey. Good morning morning, Tim. What's up buddy?
Speaker 3: The in between the NLCS and the World Series is
Speaker 3: officially begun as both teams enjoyed a day off yesterday.
Speaker 3: We'll hear from Aaron Boone Dodgers or Yankees manager excuse me,
Speaker 3: in just a couple of minutes. He did address the
Speaker 3: media yesterday his initial thoughts on this World Series matchup.
Speaker 3: He announced his Game one starter, no surprise, Garrett Cole.
Speaker 3: So we'll hear from Aaron Boone in just a couple
Speaker 3: of minutes. Later on today, the Dodgers will get some
Speaker 3: workouts in, some treatment, some lifts, and then they'll have
Speaker 3: some media availability for Max Monthsey, Freddie Freeman, and Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: That is later on this afternoon. So hear from those
Speaker 3: guys tomorrow as we lead you up to Game one
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty four World Series, which is Friday
Speaker 3: night out of Dodgers Stadium five eight, first pitch right
Speaker 3: here on AMPI seventy LA Sports. As the Dodgers and Yankees,
Speaker 3: we'll have a workout tomorrow and then Media Day, I
Speaker 3: believe is on Thursday. And if I say ask you yesterday,
Speaker 3: do you remember Media Day? So I went and looked
Speaker 3: it up. You guys clenched the NLCS on a Wednesday,
Speaker 3: the twelfth of October, and then you guys played Game
Speaker 3: one against the Oakland A's in nineteen eighty eight on Saturday,
Speaker 3: October fifteenth, So you only had two days in between
Speaker 3: the NLCS and the World Series. Do you remember those
Speaker 3: couple of days off in between the CS and the
Speaker 3: World Series?
Speaker 1: Not really, It's it was all kind of a blur,
Speaker 1: But I know it was quick because we never thought
Speaker 1: about going into November. You know, this was something that
Speaker 1: was you know, you just went from one to the other,
Speaker 1: and here we have, you know, the five days off.
Speaker 1: So it's quite different, and it's it's more media based.
Speaker 1: I think now you can say there's so much more
Speaker 1: of an emphasis on that. I think back when when
Speaker 1: we were playing then it was more of a you know,
Speaker 1: you get the media in when you can, but everything
Speaker 1: else takes precedence. But now it's not that way. They
Speaker 1: really serve it up for the media, and you know,
Speaker 1: the fans get the maximum amount of coverage. For sure.
Speaker 3: I think they've kind of borrowed a page out of
Speaker 3: the NFL and good for baseball, trying to mimic what
Speaker 3: the NFL has done. Right, the NFL has a lead
Speaker 3: up to its Super Bowl and albeit it's a week
Speaker 3: and they do all the fans stuff on site in
Speaker 3: the host city, and they do all the media availabilities
Speaker 3: leading it up after practices, but they also do that
Speaker 3: big media day that Monday night of Super Bowl week,
Speaker 3: where it's now turned into a whole event where media
Speaker 3: across the globe asked ridiculous questions and you know, if
Speaker 3: you were to pick in and Out versus five guys,
Speaker 3: which one would you pick? And they ask all the
Speaker 3: players stuff like that. That's a lot of fun for
Speaker 3: the fans to hear, you know, who, what's your favorite tailor,
Speaker 3: swift song? All that kind of stuff. But I don't
Speaker 3: know that it's not hasn't gotten to that point yet.
Speaker 3: But Media Day for the World Series it's gonna be
Speaker 3: like All Star Media Day, I believe, where all the
Speaker 3: players will have stations and the media is gonna be there.
Speaker 3: And I think this year more than any and we
Speaker 3: know this, this is gonna be the most media we've
Speaker 3: ever seen cover a World Series just because of the
Speaker 3: Otani effect.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean, he's a rock star, you know, he's
Speaker 1: a he's a pop culture figure. Now not just a
Speaker 1: sports star and so every I'm sure everywhere he goes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder what it's like for him in
Speaker 1: La now and he tries to go somewhere, I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: how about going down to get a five guys or
Speaker 1: in and out? I mean, can he do that? You know?
Speaker 1: Does he put the glasses on and you know it,
Speaker 1: puts his hat on and tries to hide. Nope, six
Speaker 1: foot five year you're gonna be seeing whe everywhere you go.
Speaker 1: So he probably can't do any of that. But I
Speaker 1: do remember those stations, going station to station and you
Speaker 1: know asking question. Everybody's got cameras too, so it's, uh,
Speaker 1: it's quite a time. But you know, good for these guys,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be you know, spending the maximum amount
Speaker 1: of time. When you think about all the travel that
Speaker 1: they're going to be doing too, It's not like going
Speaker 1: you know, La to Texas. I mean that's an easy one.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go all the way across the country. But
Speaker 1: you know what, that's what's gonna build up the uh,
Speaker 1: you know, all the the intensity and all the excitement's
Speaker 1: gonna be just it's gonna be amazing in these days
Speaker 1: in between.
Speaker 3: It's interesting you bring that up, because right away I
Speaker 3: thought advantage Dodgers in this world series for the travel
Speaker 3: and that factors in saxy, as you know, going back
Speaker 3: and forth from the East coast to the West coast.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers in this previous series against the Mets have
Speaker 3: already had to do that, and I've already had to
Speaker 3: come back for one game after blowing the chance to
Speaker 3: win Game five of the NLCS and close out the
Speaker 3: Mets last Friday. They know what it's like to get
Speaker 3: on a plane set for five hours in your misery
Speaker 3: of we didn't get it done, and now forty eight
Speaker 3: hours later we got to get ready for a game.
Speaker 3: So I guess my initial dots aren't Initially this is
Speaker 3: gonna help the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Any any little slight advantage you
Speaker 1: can muster up, you know you got you gotta take that,
Speaker 1: even if it's a even if you just have to
Speaker 1: talk your way into one and say, yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: big advantage for us, and really maybe not so much,
Speaker 1: but if you can talk your way into it mentally, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good for you.
Speaker 3: I look at both of these franchises, it's the Dodgers
Speaker 3: and Yankees, and so this moment, this stage, I don't
Speaker 3: think it rattles them. I mean, individually, players on the
Speaker 3: Dodgers have been through this, They've been to World Series,
Speaker 3: They've been on the biggest stage trying to get to
Speaker 3: the World Series. For the most part, guys have done
Speaker 3: it for the last three years, five years, ten years
Speaker 3: for Clayton Kershaw, who's been around the longest. The Yankee players,
Speaker 3: this is the first time a lot of them are
Speaker 3: ever going to be on this stage in the World Series.
Speaker 3: And I wonder what it's like for them under the
Speaker 3: bright lights in New York. Certainly the media there is
Speaker 3: one thing, but now you get to this big stage.
Speaker 3: How it affects this New York Yankees team having all
Speaker 3: eyes around the globe on them, watching every pitch, every bad,
Speaker 3: every inning.
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, and you know what the press is like
Speaker 1: back there in New York. I mean they just really
Speaker 1: dig in there.
Speaker 3: You know, they come up with anyth How did you
Speaker 3: deal with them when you played for the Yankees?
Speaker 1: You know what, I didn't have a problem at all.
Speaker 1: You know when I signed them. They always have the
Speaker 1: press conference and then you know, to kind of introduce
Speaker 1: you to the city, whatnot. And I remember I just
Speaker 1: answered every question and at the end of my uh,
Speaker 1: at the end of my conference, I said, look, you know,
Speaker 1: coming over here from LA I had no problem with
Speaker 1: the press over there, and I just wanted you all
Speaker 1: to know as well that I'll always be at my locker.
Speaker 1: I'll always answer your questions. I know you have a
Speaker 1: job to do and I do too. So if if
Speaker 1: that can be you know, put right there like that,
Speaker 1: we can leave it at that, that's great. But if
Speaker 1: I know any of you guys are going to come
Speaker 1: out and try to really rip me or put on
Speaker 1: a story that's not true or something like that, and
Speaker 1: I get the game winning hit in the seventh game
Speaker 1: of the World Series, I'm not talking to you. Wow.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what I set that bar right away,
Speaker 1: right away and the first time. And I never had
Speaker 1: a problem with anybody, not one time.
Speaker 3: Did anybody try to dig where there times were oh
Speaker 3: sure when you were not playing well that they just
Speaker 3: write were they want to pile on you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. I mean, you know there's maybe there's
Speaker 1: a say, there's a pop fly down the line and
Speaker 1: you're going for it, and you know nobody catches it.
Speaker 1: It's just a hard one to get, you know. After
Speaker 1: the game, they'd say, hey, you know, I talked to
Speaker 1: Jesse Barfield, the right fielder, and maddeningly they've all said
Speaker 1: that you should have had that. Really, I'm like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, I should have had it. And that's how
Speaker 1: I diffuse that. Yeah, I kind of blew that one.
Speaker 1: See the players know, and most of the time you
Speaker 1: rarely see a player not own it. I mean they
Speaker 1: always own it because they know that's a smart thing
Speaker 1: to do. This game is so hard to play. You're
Speaker 1: not going to go throughout your career and not screw
Speaker 1: it up because you're going to everybody is this game
Speaker 1: will humble you. I guarantee it. I ask Tanner, is
Speaker 1: that aning Biby the pitcher for the for the Guardians? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who was smirking and then and then John Carlo took
Speaker 1: him deep? Yeah? Or yeah it was John carl You're
Speaker 1: not supposed to smirk at a guy because you think
Speaker 1: you got everything figured out because he's about the thump
Speaker 1: you and that's what and he did it twice, you know,
Speaker 1: so you know that's what happens in the game. So
Speaker 1: if you just own it and say yeah, you know
Speaker 1: that was me, and it just kind of silences everything.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait for this matchup Yankees Dodgers. The star
Speaker 3: power alone is something we've never seen before.
Speaker 1: The hook, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Then you throw in the Otawni factor and it takes
Speaker 3: it to the even biggest level. And then you take
Speaker 3: it as Dodgers versus Yankees, and the history of this
Speaker 3: rivalry going back to the forties, the fifties, the inability
Speaker 3: of the Dodgers to finally win, and then the seventies
Speaker 3: battles winning an eighty one. I mean, there are so
Speaker 3: many storylines for this World Series. It is unbelievable. You
Speaker 3: don't even have to manufacture any of these storylines, which
Speaker 3: is great for baseball. You just got to roll out
Speaker 3: these two teams and say here, public America world enjoy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and this is gonna be some of
Speaker 1: our own storylines are going to be defined in this
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four World Series. You can bet you know
Speaker 1: as it goes on, there'll be you know, injuries that happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be keeping a close watch, certain
Speaker 1: on Anthony Rizzo and what's going on with two broken
Speaker 1: fingers that he's playing with in his right hand. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about the depth of the Dodgers' pitching staff.
Speaker 1: Can they Can they get it together and have those
Speaker 1: guys be great and have the bullpen do the other one?
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know. So there's gonna be lots
Speaker 1: of different things that happen that we don't even know
Speaker 1: about yet. That's gonna come about and that's what makes
Speaker 1: it great.
Speaker 3: Well, we got a big show today coming up. Next hour,
Speaker 3: Alana Rizzo from MLB Network High Heat will join us.
Speaker 3: She joined us in a DS she'll talk about this series,
Speaker 3: also get her perspective nationally since she's based now in
Speaker 3: New York. She works with the Mad Dog on High Heat.

Speaker 3: and at LA. What this series looks like in a
Speaker 3: broader perspective. Dodgers and Yankees. At seven o'clock, Brendan Cuddy,
Speaker 3: he covers the Yankees for the Athletics, gonna join us.
Speaker 3: He's actually gonna be on his way to Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3: Is they've got a workout and media availability for the Yankees.

Speaker 3: head out to Los Angeles in the final hour of
Speaker 3: the show, looking forward to having Jerry Royce on the show.
Speaker 3: Longtime Big leaguer Dodger was the game one starter in
Speaker 3: the night nineteen eighty one World Series matchup between the
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Yankees out of Yankee Stadium. In fact, coming
Speaker 3: up at the bottom of the hour, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. YouTube's a great place and an
Speaker 3: awful place, Saxey. It's awful because the kids that spend
Speaker 3: all their time on YouTube today. But it is good
Speaker 3: for some things. And in this instance, it is great
Speaker 3: because we can go back into the archives of the
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one World Series and watch every single game.
Speaker 3: So we'll go back to Game one of the nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty one World Series, gets you some of the highlights
Speaker 3: from that game that's coming up at the bottom of
Speaker 3: the hour, and your phone calls at eight sixty six,
Speaker 3: nine eighty seven, two five seventy, I know a lot
Speaker 3: of you out there getting up heading to work, heading

Speaker 3: seasoning partner of the Dodgers. It's playoff time. Bring out
Speaker 3: the chef in you. Before we hear from Aaron Boone,
Speaker 3: we get to your phone calls to the bottom of
Speaker 3: the hour. We got a big announcement to make here, Saxy,
Speaker 3: and it's a station wide announcement. Tickets to the World
Speaker 3: Series are a hard thing to get right now. Sure,
Speaker 3: face value priced out a lot of people. The average
Speaker 3: fan can't afford a World Series ticket just on face
Speaker 3: value alone. Then you throw in the Yankees coming to
Speaker 3: town for Games one and two, and the secondary market
Speaker 3: for these tickets is now off the charts. I mean
Speaker 3: we're talking record levels right now. For a single ticket
Speaker 3: to get into Game one Friday night at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 3: is the highest views ever seen. It's like thirteen hundred
Speaker 3: dollars right now just for one ticket in the upper
Speaker 3: deck at Dodger Stadium. That's the get in price right
Speaker 3: now on the secondary market. It is unbelievable. The buzz
Speaker 3: right now, yeh, the for the and the demand for tickets.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing Saxy, you've gotten somebody or buddies or a
Speaker 3: lot of people have said, hey, tax can you give
Speaker 3: me some tickets?
Speaker 1: Hang on a second, Hang on, I'm going through my
Speaker 1: my text messages right now. There's like I can flip,
Speaker 1: you can just go right right down the line. I
Speaker 1: can only imagine, Hey, and I know what's coming. I
Speaker 1: just I know it's coming. And it's like, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: this is a really I know, this is a really
Speaker 1: special time. And you probably hear this a lot. You
Speaker 1: know what I could I could braille read it with
Speaker 1: my fingers and I can tell you what's coming up next.
Speaker 1: But I know this maybe a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of far fetched. But uh, is there any chance
Speaker 1: you can like, you know, get my get my family
Speaker 1: in for my family?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know it's a crazy thing too. Here's a crazy
Speaker 1: thing is people think that like I have this connection
Speaker 1: lifel like lifelong connection with all the teams because I
Speaker 1: was a major League baseball player, that I could just
Speaker 1: you know, snap my fingers and yeah, you know, can
Speaker 1: you can you get me? How about four? You know
Speaker 1: for you know, is there anything behind like maybe the
Speaker 1: loads section? Oh my gosh, are you kidding? I mean
Speaker 1: I can't even go. You know what are you talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They this one guy when I had when I saw
Speaker 1: the family wanted to go, I was like, are you kidding?
Speaker 1: I didn't even answer it. It's just absurd. I mean,
Speaker 1: the text that starts, Hey, how's it going? No, hope
Speaker 1: you're talking in a while? Yeah, hope, you're well, haven't spoken? Well? Hey?
Speaker 1: Game one? Any chances you got an extra ticket? Hey?
Speaker 3: Can you get him at a discount? That's the old
Speaker 3: that's the nice one, right, the can you get him
Speaker 3: at a discount?
Speaker 1: Hope? But you're gonna say no, no, no, don't pay for it.
Speaker 1: I'll buy it for you. Yeah, exactly. And so listen
Speaker 1: here here's the thing that fans have to know. When
Speaker 1: when I was playing, I would get twenty thirty, thirty five,
Speaker 1: forty tickets what sometimes because you could just write them down.
Speaker 1: There was no there was no law on this, and
Speaker 1: I would have people, can you give me? Can you
Speaker 1: give me five? Can you give me eight. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was sitting there writing, writing them down. Finally,
Speaker 1: after I don't know what is year, my third or
Speaker 1: fourth year in the big leagues, they said, no, you
Speaker 1: can't do that no more. And everybody was doing it,
Speaker 1: you know this, and I can't do that no more.
Speaker 1: So you get six tickets. Now, you get two here,
Speaker 1: and you get four there. And you know what it
Speaker 1: is like now, the the the players do get I
Speaker 1: think two tickets for the family and a couple other
Speaker 1: ones for you know, for the rest of the family,
Speaker 1: if you will. But you get two really good ones
Speaker 1: and you have to buy the rest of them. So
Speaker 1: all the fans that think that, hey, you know, you
Speaker 1: played baseball, so can you get me a ticket even
Speaker 1: during the season, even if you're a player, Even if
Speaker 1: you're a player, you still have to pay those tickets.
Speaker 1: So nothing is free anymore. You don't get anything for free.
Speaker 1: And and I know, and you know, here's another thing,
Speaker 1: here's another one I got. No I don't have and
Speaker 1: I can't get a show. Hey, o Tawani Warren World
Speaker 1: Series jersey for you. No, no, no, I got that one.
Speaker 1: I got down when a couple of days ago. No,
Speaker 1: I can't get it.
Speaker 3: Can you get an autographed baseball for me? Then, Timmy,
Speaker 3: come on, you know, I think I didn't realize that
Speaker 3: what you're talking about until watching the Super Bowl documentary
Speaker 3: last week. It was like a behind the scenes on
Speaker 3: HBO or something about the Super Bowl, and they talked
Speaker 3: about how the players get like two tickets to the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, but they need more than that, and so
Speaker 3: they're able to get them from the NFL or their
Speaker 3: respective teams, but they have to buy them, and they
Speaker 3: have to buy them at the same price. Everybody else
Speaker 3: has got to buy them. They're not free, No, they're
Speaker 3: not free. And so anyway, I think maybe everybody knows now.
Speaker 3: When I saw the jersey one for I was like,
Speaker 3: you gotta be there. I cannot believe somebody asked you
Speaker 3: for family tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you have four or five? I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, seriously, I mean, and that that's just not
Speaker 1: gonna happen.
Speaker 3: It's not a Sunday in June against the Cincinnati Reds, folks.
Speaker 3: It's Game one of the World Series, right, I mean,
Speaker 3: with that being said, the tickets are hard to get.
Speaker 1: We get it.

Speaker 4: the Yankee Stadium in New York. The Dodgers and the Yankees.
Speaker 4: Last Thursday, the Yankees claimed their thirty third American League
Speaker 4: Championship with a three game suite over the Western Division
Speaker 4: champion Oakland Days. The Los Angeles Dodgers had to go
Speaker 4: five games with Montreal before they could claim their seventeenth
Speaker 4: National League Championship. It came with a ninth inning home run,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers winning two to one, and tonight the Yankees
Speaker 4: and Dodgers meeting in Game one the nineteen eighty one
Speaker 4: World Series.
Speaker 3: It was fifty five degrees a Yankee Stadium in the
Speaker 3: Bronx at night, October twenty, had, nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 1: What was going through your mind? Hotly, it's about Burner.
Speaker 3: It's right, Keith Jackson on the call along with the great,
Speaker 3: the Great Howard Cosell also on the call for ABC,
Speaker 3: as well as Jim Palmer, who you'll heard coming up
Speaker 3: in just a little bit. But Game one of the
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one World Series. What's going through your mind,
Speaker 3: your your stomach there in the the few minutes before
Speaker 3: first pitch.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking, well, if I get into this game today,
Speaker 1: which I probably won't because I had that conversation with
Speaker 1: Tommy before we started the playoffs and world the World
Speaker 1: series anyway, but you know, got to be ready. And
Speaker 1: you know what I did get in the game. I
Speaker 1: got to pinch hit that's coming up. Okay, oh, that's
Speaker 1: coming up with that's coming up. But I think the
Speaker 1: best thing about it was I didn't know this, but
Speaker 1: I found out afterwards. But I had just gotten an agent.
Speaker 1: Jerry Capsen was my agent, and I didn't know that
Speaker 1: Jerry Capsen also represented Keith Jackson. So I got to
Speaker 1: meet Keith Jackson because the Larry connection. It was awesome
Speaker 1: to me because you know, I grew up listening to,
Speaker 1: you know, watching football and yeah, he jacked McCall the games.
Speaker 1: And it was so funny because I met him, you know,
Speaker 1: before the game in there and Jerry introduced me to
Speaker 1: him and said, hey, hello, Kitty, how about you. You know,
Speaker 1: I was like, my god, he's like that off the
Speaker 1: air too. That's awesome. Anyway, Yeah, but that was a
Speaker 1: fun thing and just being around that whole thing and
Speaker 1: being in Yankee Stadium, and god, I mean it was incredible.
Speaker 1: It was I was like I was like a fan too,
Speaker 1: about three years out of high school, you know, so
Speaker 1: I was just taking it all in.
Speaker 3: Do you remember who throughout the ceremonial first pitch for
Speaker 3: Game one of the nineteen eighty one World Series?
Speaker 1: Was it Grover Cleveland? Oh?
Speaker 5: Here it was one of the gross colors in the
Speaker 5: player of baseball, I mean.
Speaker 6: Son of Froda Aniverse room, Oh of.
Speaker 1: His five Ulus fifty six game heading the school.
Speaker 6: Loons are juggingham Ulcan.
Speaker 7: The great Yankee.
Speaker 8: Joe Joe Demaggio throws out the first pitch of Game one.
Speaker 8: What a great It's a great voice, Bob Shepherd head.
Speaker 4: But you become a living legend.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 4: That's your preamble, Ladies and gentlemen, wherever I did to
Speaker 4: play baseball the Yavies and Dodgers Game one.
Speaker 1: Yeah we are. That's the preamble, Ki Jackson, That is amazing.
Speaker 3: Joe Demagio, little gray hair but still looks young, looks
Speaker 3: why got his autograph in the Yankee locker room one
Speaker 3: time on a baseball.
Speaker 1: Did you really rarely did that. But there's a couple
Speaker 1: of guys. I got Joe DiMaggio and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: I was like, do I go up to him? Do
Speaker 1: I bend a knee and JENU flector? I mean, what
Speaker 1: do I do?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: So did you?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, I almost did. I was going to, but you know,
Speaker 1: what's you know, it's like that when you meet Sandy Kofax.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. They're like in the same kind
Speaker 1: of zone there. You I want to you know, you
Speaker 1: want to say, you want to kind of like bend
Speaker 1: your knee or you know, do the sign of the
Speaker 1: cross whatever. When you meet these guys, it's incredible. But
Speaker 1: he did sign a ball for me, and I was
Speaker 1: told he doesn't really do that, but he signed it
Speaker 1: for It was a couple of guys he did for
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, this is just amazing. I
Speaker 1: think I still have the ball too. Joe Demish and
Speaker 1: then I got two other guys. I remember, I was
Speaker 1: so fascinated to meet them. Another one was Willie Mays
Speaker 1: when I was in Candlestick Park one time in the
Speaker 1: locker room. And actually Willie McCovey, my two you know,
Speaker 1: childhood heroes. Yeah, got their autographs. Just incredible to get
Speaker 1: that to be in their presence. Oh my gosh. Some
Speaker 1: of the buddiest names ever. I mean Joe Demagio, Yeah,
Speaker 1: fifty six. You know another stat about Joe Demagio, three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one home runs, you know, three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty nine career strikeouts. Wow, it that's it in
Speaker 1: his whole career. And plus plus he was married to
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe. That's right. So that's pretty cool to that
Speaker 1: is very cool.
Speaker 3: It was Jerry who will talk to you in the
Speaker 3: eight o'clock hour getting the start for the Dodgers. Ron
Speaker 3: Gidrey was on the mound for the New York Yankees,
Speaker 3: and it didn't go well for Jerry Royce, who in
Speaker 3: the first inning got into some trouble. A couple of
Speaker 3: runters on facing Bob Watson.
Speaker 4: Two out, I'm free at third and Finella at second.
Speaker 4: One two pitch, high five ball, hit well to watch
Speaker 4: out of fear one day, going back to the fench
Speaker 4: leap sen it's gone. So Jerry Royce just shot. He
Speaker 4: had the Bob Watson at one two He hit a
Speaker 4: five five ball at about three hundred and eighty eight.
Speaker 6: It was hit, Bob Knewitt was gone, and the pressure immediately.
Speaker 1: On the dunch. So there it goes. This is how
Speaker 1: would Cole sound give me his two cents? I was
Speaker 1: surprised if he was going to say, you seem a
Speaker 1: bit truculent. He said that to Muhammad Ali. That's right.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: He came back with what the hell is truck ylin Howards.
Speaker 3: So Royce gives up the three run home run to
Speaker 3: Bob Watson, just goes over the wall and wrights center field.
Speaker 3: Yankees lead three nothing in the first inning, and in
Speaker 3: the third inning, Loop Panella up facing Jerry Royce when
Speaker 3: a Yankees tacked.
Speaker 1: On one more.
Speaker 5: Surmising and watching what Royce has been doing though the
Speaker 5: first three innings. He's thrown a hanging curve ball for
Speaker 5: a single to center.
Speaker 1: A basketball for a long It's Jim Palmer. If you
Speaker 1: said be out of any football park, thank you.
Speaker 5: I can't believe he'd have too much companies and his
Speaker 5: stuff right at those moments.
Speaker 4: The picture comings from the Goodyear blamp America out of Houston,
Speaker 4: Texas with Captain Dongoli Dallas the pilot. My cameraman is Billiso.
Speaker 1: Pretty picture.
Speaker 4: Sharon Knight, Cow's won two banilla sharply to the left field,
Speaker 4: BA said, returns third. He's coming home and the Proco's
Speaker 4: into second years.
Speaker 6: We get thought over. You see them saying Lou Loo Loo,
Speaker 6: and here.
Speaker 5: You'll see a high ranking wall. It's I can hurt
Speaker 5: ball that if you're gonna throw it. You don't want
Speaker 5: to throw a belt high. He doesn't have a r
Speaker 5: hit the ball that hard, but it's a ball. I'm
Speaker 5: going to strikes on a good pitch for a hit
Speaker 5: or to hit.
Speaker 6: But as you noted earlier, such a professional hitter. He
Speaker 6: went to right when the pitch there, he went to left.
Speaker 6: He can go anywhere in the ballpark. Use the whole place.
Speaker 1: Use the whole place, the whole place. Loop Pvanella, Your
Speaker 1: cameraman is a bill of something. He puts the uh
Speaker 1: in there. Dude, Holy the cameraman's a bill of sutton.
Speaker 3: Lou Vanilla gets Jerry Royce there with an RBI sigal
Speaker 3: and the third at any and the Yankees were on
Speaker 3: top of the Dodgers Saxy four nothing through three innings. Finally,
Speaker 3: in the fourth, Bobby Castillo watched four batters in the inning,
Speaker 3: leading into a run Dave Winfield forced in the run
Speaker 3: gave him the Yankees a five to nothing lead. But
Speaker 3: Ron Gidrey was tough that night, so tough he only
Speaker 3: gave up one run. And that Dodger run that he
Speaker 3: gave up, Saxy came in the fifth inning from Steve Yeager.
Speaker 5: With the balls have been hit harder been caught tonight.
Speaker 4: Jeger hits it high in the air to the right
Speaker 4: side Vanella going back to the wall. That's gown home
Speaker 4: run the Jeger.
Speaker 6: So very quietly, Jega gets the Dodgers a run, and
Speaker 6: he continues with his exceptional postseason hitting.
Speaker 1: He's here at the Yankees before.
Speaker 4: Boy, you don't think that that guy isn't happy about that?
Speaker 3: Oh, Steve Yeager with the home runoff Ron Gidrey and
Speaker 3: hit up all the right field. He did right well,
Speaker 3: not down the line, but not straight away right field,
Speaker 3: sort of in between and it just got over the wall.
Speaker 3: And I think even surprised there Keith Jackson how much
Speaker 3: elevation it got because it was that cold night there
Speaker 3: at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: Boomer didn't hit the ball the right field. He hit,
Speaker 1: He pulled everything even in batting practice. He had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with hitting the ball to the right at
Speaker 1: second base.
Speaker 3: He went oppo boppo there before the crowd can even
Speaker 3: settle in. After that Steve Jaeger home run that made
Speaker 3: it a five to one Yankees lead, Tomulu sorta goes
Speaker 3: to the bench.
Speaker 1: Who would come up?
Speaker 4: Here's Steve Sacks coming to the plate now, a young
Speaker 4: man who played second base for Los Angeles, threw much
Speaker 4: of the second half of the season, and he steps
Speaker 4: in as the hitter of the Hedgers. Wife that means
Speaker 4: Neaton Feuer is still in demand. Woman up and he'll
Speaker 4: be the next one poll gool of the Dodgers, number
Speaker 4: fifty two. This is a youngster. I guess that everybody
Speaker 4: around the Dodger organization figures is going to six see
Speaker 4: Davy Lopes in the second base. He's a dandy.
Speaker 6: I think that was the most silent home run I've
Speaker 6: I've heard in the world.
Speaker 1: Senteries nothing.
Speaker 4: Sax hits it high in the air to centerfield. Winn
Speaker 4: seems to grab it and hang it up if he
Speaker 4: makes the catch and the enning is over. Fuck to
Speaker 4: not just get on the board with Jagger's home run
Speaker 4: five one back with more after this worked from our
Speaker 4: local station.
Speaker 3: First pitch swinging Steve Sacks pitchitting there in the fifth.
Speaker 1: Inning, Sacks strike out. I just said, he just get
Speaker 1: in here and do what I get. Did you hear
Speaker 1: what he said? Though the wind held it up, that
Speaker 1: ball was gone. Come on, he's going out.
Speaker 3: It sounded good on contact. If you closed your eyes,
Speaker 3: you're like, wow, that ball's got distance.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: If I was smart, I would have grabbed a little
Speaker 1: TV time and you know, took a couple of pitches right.
Speaker 1: But no, I didn't want to strike out. That would
Speaker 1: have been humiliating. So I just saw I actually, I
Speaker 1: remember the pitch is a high fastball. I thought, I love,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good.
Speaker 3: But you know, to Novail, Ron Guidry was really good
Speaker 3: that night. He would just give up that one run
Speaker 3: through seven innings before turning it over to the bullpen.
Speaker 3: You guys were able to get to the bullpen with
Speaker 3: a couple of runs in the eighth inning, but the
Speaker 3: Yankees would win Game one of the nineteen eighty one
Speaker 3: World Series five to three. Ron Gidrey gets the win.
Speaker 3: Jerry Royce, who will talk to in the eight o'clock hour,
Speaker 3: got the loss, Goose Gossage came in and pitched an
Speaker 3: inning plus to get the save as the Yankees took
Speaker 3: a one to zero series lead. What was the feeling
Speaker 3: in that clubhouse after dropping game one? Coming off the
Speaker 3: high of winning the Montreal and the NLCS, so then
Speaker 3: coming back and losing game one and really Ron Guidry
Speaker 3: pitched well against you guys, he were seven innings. What
Speaker 3: was the mood in the clubhouse after that game?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: You know what we knew how explosive the Yankees were,
Speaker 1: and when you go down one, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the I don't know if they had splits
Speaker 1: back then when they really put it out there, and
Speaker 1: you know, the team that wins first and this is
Speaker 1: the percentages whatever, But we knew that getting of these
Speaker 1: guys wasn't good. But the fact that the team was
Speaker 1: able to come back and win four in a row
Speaker 1: to win the thing was it was amazing to me
Speaker 1: and just to watch those guys because I wasn't playing,
Speaker 1: but just to watch all these guys and how they
Speaker 1: went about it. What I think was great example that
Speaker 1: they set for guys like myself and needing fewer, and
Speaker 1: it was that they never changed demeanor, their expressions never changed.
Speaker 1: There was no panic in the dugout, even when they
Speaker 1: were down two to ozher and even when they tied
Speaker 1: it up it was two to two, and then we
Speaker 1: went on to win the next it was still the same.
Speaker 1: It was everything the same and no really big outbursts
Speaker 1: of expression until we won it, and then of course
Speaker 1: it was a different story. But you know, it was
Speaker 1: pretty much businesslike attitude the whole way.
Speaker 3: Now, I asked this in the nicest way because I'm
Speaker 3: watching the YouTube and I'm a young kid at the time,
Speaker 3: so I don't remember per se the game.
Speaker 1: So how you in eighty one tim two?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, I was a young kid, but I
Speaker 3: was a Steve Sacks fan back at then, at the
Speaker 3: age of two, I probably had my jersey on.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: I'm watching this last night, and I watched the entire
Speaker 3: game and it's entire on YouTube, and I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 3: like Loopanella comes up. I'm like, okay, all right, about
Speaker 3: the greatest of shape, uh loop Andell? All right, Bob
Speaker 3: Watson comes up, you know, towards the end of his career.
Speaker 3: I think at that point, well, chy, yeah, like what
Speaker 3: like this guy's a power hitter for the Yankees. Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, Saxy, you walk up there like an Adonis
Speaker 3: at the plate, this young, spry guy. And Rick Monday's
Speaker 3: up there all slender and tall, and I look at
Speaker 3: some of these older players that are playing this nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty one World Series and my first thought was, well,
Speaker 3: these guys are out of shape. What in the world, Saxy, Yeah, listen,
Speaker 3: they had an excuse to be out of shape.
Speaker 1: It was nineteen eighty one. I mean, we didn't have
Speaker 1: the sports medicine today. Now you tell me, okay, look
Speaker 1: at the look at the alcs. Okay, what is what
Speaker 1: is going on with fat nailor? Okay, yeah, dude is
Speaker 1: too sick at least, Well, he'd be perfect in nineteen
Speaker 1: all he's five to eleven. What's that he'd be perfect
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one. Yeah, I mean, his brother's in
Speaker 1: good shape. His brother's a catcher. He looked good. But
Speaker 1: Naylor looked like you just ate the double A team.
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, that dude. That dude was chubby, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a big dude. I mean, come on, and you
Speaker 1: know the thing about it, he can hit that He
Speaker 1: was a pretty good hitter. I mean, I mean drop forty. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's where you should start. Drop forty. That should be
Speaker 1: his only thing in the offseason. Forget hitting, forget everything else.
Speaker 1: If you have to wire the jaw, whatever, you are
Speaker 1: a professional athlete, and can imagine how much better he'd be.
Speaker 1: I mean, try carrying around forty pounds of weights. I
Speaker 1: mean just walk around with them, you know, for you know,
Speaker 1: two hours. That's a lot. I mean, can imagine what
Speaker 1: he goes through every day. Drop forty and then get
Speaker 1: on the field. The guy's like chubb Arella. Come on, Really,
Speaker 1: he'd fit perfect in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm surprised I don't see him playing for
Speaker 3: the Yankees, like playing first base or something. The other
Speaker 3: thing that caught my eyes, I know they throw harder now,
Speaker 3: or do they throw harder now? I think overall probably
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: But okay, this stuff where you know everybody throws one hundred,
Speaker 1: and if everybody throws a hundred, throws a hundred now,
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the guys to one hundred when
Speaker 1: we played too, it is not that different. I've been
Speaker 1: down there in the Pittson spring training I'm seeing I'm
Speaker 1: seeing no difference, but I think overall they probably throw
Speaker 1: a little harder.
Speaker 3: Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 3: our number. That was our nineteen eighty one Game one
Speaker 3: flashback the last time the Dodgers and Yankees played in
Speaker 3: the World Series, in the Fall Classic forty three years ago.
Speaker 3: Yankees won Game one five to three. Tomorrow, we'll go
Speaker 3: through Game two in Game three as we lead you
Speaker 3: up to Game one of the twenty twenty four World
Speaker 3: Series Dodgers Yankees, right here on your own home of
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, a FI seventy light Sports.
Speaker 1: Sax and Kates and the Am.
Speaker 3: It's scam here on a five seventy LA Sports on
Speaker 3: this Tuesday morning, brought to you apart by Chef Burrito
Speaker 3: season and the seasoning partner of the Dodgers. It's playoff time.
Speaker 3: Bring out the chef in you. Eight sixty six nine
Speaker 3: eighty seven to two five seventy is our number. Coming
Speaker 3: up next hour, Brandon Cuddy from The Athletic he covers
Speaker 3: the Yankees. He'll be joining us on his way to
Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium for a team workout. Alta Rizzo from MLB
Speaker 3: Network's High Heat we'll join us get a national perspective
Speaker 3: on this World Series matchup coming up in the eight
Speaker 3: o'clock hour. Jerry Royce, former Dodger left hander, we'll join
Speaker 3: us here on the show. Uh Tomorrow, we'll look at
Speaker 3: game two in Game three of the nineteen eighty one
Speaker 3: World Series, the last time the Dodgers and the Yankees
Speaker 3: met in the fall class. It's go out to the phone,
Speaker 3: sax Seed, John and Ontario's first up here on this
Speaker 3: Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1: John, Welcome to scam.
Speaker 7: Hey guys, how you doing today?
Speaker 1: Go ahead to John.
Speaker 7: Real real quick, just two quick points. I think Bueller
Speaker 7: needs to get two starts in the in the World Series.
Speaker 7: He's I think he's our age. I think he's pitched
Speaker 7: very well. I need him to be in a closeout game.
Speaker 7: I need to him to be either the Game six
Speaker 7: or Game seven starter. And what do you guys think
Speaker 7: about as far as a Yama starting two and then
Speaker 7: flirty three. I just want to get your take on that.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: We'll find out here probably today from Dave Roberts who
Speaker 3: the Game one starter will be. But based on the
Speaker 3: way the schedule lays out with the off days only
Speaker 3: one in between the travel days there as you go
Speaker 3: back to New York for three, which are three games
Speaker 3: in a row. Yeah, I would think Yamamoto would get
Speaker 3: the Game one start because he needs that extra day's rest.
Speaker 3: He needs the extra five plus days in between starts,
Speaker 3: because that's just the way he is, as opposed to
Speaker 3: Walker Bueller, who doesn't need five days in between starts.
Speaker 3: But with that being said, there is an argument to
Speaker 3: be made that Game one set a tone big game
Speaker 3: pitcher he's pitched in a World Series before. Walker Buehler
Speaker 3: should go Game one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the I like the Walker. Listen. I
Speaker 1: know Yamamoto's got to have his rest, no question about that.
Speaker 1: But I went Walker Bueler out there in the moment, Okay,
Speaker 1: when it's on the line, this guy embraces it. I mean,
Speaker 1: he looks forward to this. He's been big time in
Speaker 1: postseason before. Liked what he did in his most recent outing.
Speaker 1: I think you gotta have Walker out there as much
Speaker 1: as you can. Now, I mean, this is a this
Speaker 1: is a fluid situation, So we got to monitor the
Speaker 1: aches and pains part of it. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to monitor how they're you know, how they're pitching as well.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, as it stands right now,
Speaker 1: I love Walker Bieler in that moment.
Speaker 3: If you start Yamamoto in game one, he's got Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't have to pitch again until game six, so
Speaker 3: he'd have a week off in between starts. And the
Speaker 3: same case, if you start him in game two on
Speaker 3: Saturday and we'll save him for game seven potential down
Speaker 3: the line, he would have also a week off, so
Speaker 3: you could either start him in game one or game two.
Speaker 3: You have that luxury there with the two built in
Speaker 3: off days, the Sunday travel day to New York and
Speaker 3: the potential travel back from New York on Thursday before
Speaker 3: game six and seven. So with those off days built in,
Speaker 3: you could go one or two with them and go
Speaker 3: Walker the other one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're gonna have They're both gonna be out
Speaker 1: there if it goes that far. So it doesn't, It
Speaker 1: would really really wouldn't matter to me. All I know
Speaker 1: is Walker Beeler is going to be in there, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Yankees are. The Dodgers are
Speaker 1: really hanging their hat on right now because they want
Speaker 1: to go with the trend. Okay, and you know Yamamota's
Speaker 1: been good too, But how much more can we stretch
Speaker 1: him out? I mean, you got to get more stretch
Speaker 1: and more stretch for him because you know, just taxing
Speaker 1: the bullpen and counting on them, how many times can
Speaker 1: you do it? This is arguably the most talented bullpen
Speaker 1: in baseball. But let's not tax them out too much.
Speaker 1: I gotta have those starters with some distance. Now, taxing
Speaker 1: at a bullpen in the World Series? Is that possible?
Speaker 3: Or you're talking about maybe just seeing the players seeing
Speaker 3: the hitters too many times in the course of a series,
Speaker 3: or is their actual fatigue over the course of seven games,
Speaker 3: because at this point you got to kind of health
Speaker 3: the other the adrenaline's just flowing through these gasts.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you'd think that the fatigue wouldn't matter,
Speaker 1: but you know what, it's gonna wear on them some.
Speaker 1: There is no more after this. That's the one good
Speaker 1: thing about it. It's gonna give you another another little
Speaker 1: shot in the arm for that. But the fact, the
Speaker 1: familiarity part of it is the thing that I think
Speaker 1: that would would wear on them a bit. And it's
Speaker 1: better for the hitter, of course, the more that these
Speaker 1: guys are out there. So yeah, would you want to
Speaker 1: get into that bullpen and force them to get those
Speaker 1: guys out there and show their hand and see them
Speaker 1: as much as you possibly can. Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: In the long run, that's going to help the hitters.
Speaker 3: Ricky and Torrens is next up here on Saxon Kate's
Speaker 3: and The AM on this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Ricky, Hey, good mornings.
Speaker 9: You got your okay, you got you good?
Speaker 1: Go ahead?
Speaker 9: Okay, great? Great, Yeah, guys, So ninety three, I was
Speaker 9: born right, so growing up, I grew up here. I
Speaker 9: played ball.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: It's actually it's funny. So twenty years ago, Tyrone Taylor
Speaker 9: and I played on the same team and we were
Speaker 9: on the Dodgers and so and he almost made the
Speaker 9: last out, you know, in Game six, and oh my god,
Speaker 9: I was just like, you know, of course I wanted
Speaker 9: the Dodgers, so I saw I'm a casual Dodger fan,
Speaker 9: you know, like now as an adult, you know, right,
Speaker 9: So like I was just holding there. Oh dude, I
Speaker 9: didn't want him to make the last out, you know,
Speaker 9: just because he's the hometown he's a hometown kid, and
Speaker 9: so that was the release. And then obviously I wanted
Speaker 9: the third out to happen, and then he was able
Speaker 9: to score. I'm like, oh gosh, it was kind of
Speaker 9: it was scary, right, So we didn't really know Game
Speaker 9: six how it was going to end. You know, this
Speaker 9: is that I hadn't really watched base I didn't watched
Speaker 9: the whole season in baseball since I was a child.
Speaker 9: So but the Dodgers being in the postseason, you know,
Speaker 9: I t tuned in, and I growing up, I never
Speaker 9: thought I would see the end. So you hear the
Speaker 9: stories here where I was born, I never heard, you know,
Speaker 9: I never was able to see the Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 9: And here we are, you know, thirty years later, and
Speaker 9: here it's happening. It's happening in front of them. So Saxy,
Speaker 9: were you on the eighty one squad? I was, you
Speaker 9: were okay, so you were able to so you were there.
Speaker 9: So there's a lot of guys like they've had their career,
Speaker 9: never got to they never got to experience, you know that,
Speaker 9: and like what's the similarities right now with that? Like

Speaker 3: Dodgers and Yankees, and the Yankee winning those matchups. You
Speaker 3: had the the end of an era with the Dodger
Speaker 3: first basement or the infield. That excuse me, that was

Speaker 3: this new crop of guys like you, Steve Sackson coming
Speaker 3: up and Mike Marshall coming up and the new era
Speaker 3: your er, this new group coming up. So it was
Speaker 3: it was it was the end of this rivalry for
Speaker 3: a long time, certainly, but also at the end of
Speaker 3: this Dodger era with that group of players.

Speaker 1: to find all these crops of players. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's something to say about their scouting and their development,
Speaker 1: what they do in the organization, but always at the
Speaker 1: top of the top of the heap, as far as
Speaker 1: you know, getting all these crops of players, and it's
Speaker 1: all around pitching. That's what the you know, the great
Speaker 1: organizations do that they start with pitching and then they
Speaker 1: work it out from there. And that's what the Dodgers
Speaker 1: were able to do. Remember that's when Oral first came in.

Speaker 1: in Clinton, Iowa. I was in my second my first
