our co-host Long Beach Lenny how you doing today buddy I'm doing great my friend awesome and we have producer Colonel Bucky ready to go he's gloating today and we'll get to him in just a few minutes

or call 657-600-1876 for all your business needs that's the American Business Trust Company 657-600-1876 all right Lenny let's get into it I don't know if our special guest is with us just yet but as soon as he uh jumps in we're going to jump over to his topics but in the interim let's stick with the Baseball World Hold On First Manny are you there Mandy's not here so let's go with the baseball topics learning to start us off sure if we have this uh the redwood trees okay because somebody in baseball pretty much resembles a redwood tree it has to be all rise Aaron judge this man is enormous Sal when you look at him at six feet seven 282 pounds do you think Sal if you just you know throw out their hey I've got a professional athlete tell me what sport he's in he's 6'7 282 immediately you know what are we thinking we're thinking baseball right no we're not but this man is a mammoth among men for the hallowed and traditional Yankees and so he uh recently got an award which is uh due justly to him right let's say let's say that and what let's get the let's get the good award out here Sal the good award was that some of the WWE Superstar wrestlers went to him and presented Mr judge with his own WWE Championship belt South how deserving for a man who's what six seven two eighty two in fact when he was handed it uh by big Cass who the wrestler is six feet 11 inches tall he himself is only 275 pounds so here's uh Mr judge All Rise everybody's rising up and here he is with the belts out how fitting how fitting a championship belt for a championship type season but really are we thinking of that Sal or are we thinking there's another uh dubious record that he has tied right now and yes Sal it is that critical consecutive strikeout games set by Adam Dunn way back in the Reds days and now he has the opportunity sometime in the future to be able to break this hallowed Mark South my question for you Sal is what are you willing to give if the WWE is willing to give Aaron judge a championship belt what would the ring Master of the sports circus be willing to wheel out to him in tribute for his consecutive strikeouts I would be willing to give him a mountainous version of the golden sombrero I mean that would seem to be fitting wouldn't it or maybe would it be a silver Sombrero for him that would be fitting except it would have to be so big we have to make an act out of it style you'd have to be able to like ride treacherous motorcycles through there that's what we'd have to do all right I just heard somebody do we have our guest that's coming on the line you're probably yes yes that is our special guest and you know we're gonna pick up on that question uh after we get done with a couple of segments here with our special guest now I'm glad you can make it Manny because we haven't we haven't told anybody about you coming on just yet so let me say that folks today we have a very special guest we happen to have a two-time World Series champion a three-time All-Star and wow how many years did you play in the big leagues Manny 13 years that would be Manny saying again from the Pittsburgh Pirates and you did have a short stint with the Oakland A's great to have you on Manny yeah thank you great and you know man having one year with Oakland then grab then bring me back to Pittsburgh at that 77 and 78 I go back to Pittsburgh right right and that was a very famous team as well right yeah but when I would that money the player was going I only have it by the blue note instead of fear right you know as a as a kid yeah yeah hey Manny as a catcher we know that you are often overshadowed by a guy by the name of Johnny Bench but you actually hit you hit for a higher batting average than that guy you hit better than Johnny Bench well you know I'd be honest with you I started to play back when I was 22 years old no kidding yeah and uh I would I live in the in the coastal Empire in Cologne and then my father you to have a cell book and then one day my brother and me coming for fishing like at 12 o'clock and that's it two men talking to a lot of the Jones teenage the guy the 20 things like that every song then we're looking for bowel player to play for pan-america Mission um are you hear me yes sir oh yeah we don't have a shower in the house and then and then asking me to place and thank Paul and then I tell you I had to go to a river to take shower and then we come on and play that happens quickly then it's me he said Manny for three days a player with you and bring it to the mission I said I don't have enough money to take anybody he giving me 20 bucks that was 1952. and when I get there he called me and giving me one uniform and then he said to me you look like we remains and then I say who who shape [Laughter] and then we go to practice and I was chasing balancing and they called me to eat he giving me a bath he said go out there and then then throwing one ball close to my children and now he's out of the ballpark because I used to have a heart and I called the tree everywhere and everybody said who was a crazy guy the comment that crazy guy is the one talking to you that's my beginning so so Manny can

back here with Manny sanguian two-time world champion World Series champion three-time All-Star from the Pittsburgh Pirates and one short stint with the Oakland A's so many I know Lenny has he's got a plethora of questions I I just have one quick question before Lenny gets back to his next question now as an All-Star in 1971 I'm sorry in um yeah 1971 in a World Series champion in 1971 it what what kind of makes me question this is how come you weren't an All-Star in 1979 when your team won the World Series as well Adam was playing every day I was like a part-time player like coming from the bench I think 80th and the Nicosia were playing if I was in the king got it all right well I guess that would make sense maybe because I don't remember I mean I remember watching the series I didn't I didn't follow the Pittsburgh Pirates on a daily because I was living in Chicago at that time and of course you were playing those blasted Cubs of course I'm I'm certainly not a cub fan but anybody who plays anybody who plays against the Cubs that's my favorite team that day well I love that love that ballpark I love to play ball in the daytime so when we go to Chicago we're ready to play because that was my time day time all right all right I think Colonel Bucky had a quick question for you yeah I uh of course remember watching you uh as a young boy Manny uh of course I grew up a Cincinnati Reds fan and and they always had those games against the Pittsburgh Pirates and uh you were always a a main staple there but uh you you've built the reputation over the period of time to swing it at a lot of pitches which were some would say not even in the strike zone uh is that your way of saying that hey I mean you're an aggressive hitter and uh if it's anywhere near the plate I'm going to give a crack at it he's a free swinger yeah having nobody teach me what to hit I would 22 years old and then I had to use my own ability and I have a good balance well you know I remember the Clemente said to me sangi it's you don't swing the hot high ball you hit over 3 40. yeah okay what I just have in my mind I'm gonna swing my hands I have a quick hands that's the first time somebody said to me about uh someone is trying to step I said they slowed down and he don't swing the high pitch well Manny you still hit 296 in your career I'm blessed God for that because I I don't work too much at that was wondering when the mind I think that I gonna go to that I used to be like a self defense and defense I know I throw points and then I remember in 56 Roberto Clemente take like a four or five they want to go give exhibition the hit and then he wanna see like a three swing to each one and the batting case and then he explained to your little thing and I comment I swing the back of my feet was so separated man you see you move it yet pretty hands yeah I hope you eat better my first year I hit two 35 the second year 328 title that's what that's that's the kind of person Roberto Clemente wood for us absolutely now uh uh let me ask you this here Manny we've got to go to that 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates team that that was you remember that pop Stargell had that we are family you guys have that family environment around you Willie's sure you will not tell you what happened we will turn it he didn't buy in practice and Three Rivers there and then there's some coming like We Are Family it really called after he says keeping that day Sunday we're going to have it for the Pittsburgh final and right there we'll start to using that song and then he coming with all the stars and then if you start to everybody because we need father Roberto Clemente's step when the Roberto go really take over and that way everybody is surprised we don't know a comforter a comment from bad in practice than the a Three Rivers Stadium and in that story yeah go ahead you remember in that series I mean you guys did go down on that on in that series but there was a particular uh game that you had there and you're gonna know the at-bat at the end of it with that game-winning RBI and Manny the title in the papers because we did not have ESPN it said Manny sanguian swinging in the rain tell us how that game was Manny because you know that series there was a lot of rain 25 degrees or something like that and then I have a lot of uh London certain and then I was in the bullpen and then they trained Tony about the wrong car is he tell me man he shot 10 I need you I say I don't like you because every time you say something you okay I go and then you laugh in my face and then I say put something and then come on you're gonna hit but I know we're ready to get to go to here because Tony allow we're messing with me and then when I get there I take whatever I have and get it back I say hold on now you pull me in that position that's my short time give me the experience to bring it that wrong it's that I remember the Islam house told me yes in the corner I will Strife but be quiet step back I just yesterday the bad girl Oliver said to me Manny I saw that hey you make him look so easy I said thank goodness people will ring him it was cold hey Manny I have a question regarding your unique catching style now you started at the age of 22. sitting on the ground with your leg extended was that just a comfort thing or was it tell me about that yeah it is it's super scar how we hate when they get to Panama I work with short and then he looked me is say you look like Kesha I want to play Outfield the first baby mouse second baseman and then I I throw a couple back to second base it's a man I don't think they even really many can run to you and then I hit like a fight swing he says stop and then he called everybody he talked to everybody and they're talking uh my Scout from Panama it was interpret I remember that he said that how we hated them two and a half years I was in the big league because I have a swimming fire I don't know what swimming fire was so Minnie let me ask you a question tell me about your catching style of sitting on the ground with your leg extended did you find that as an advantage or disadvantage I'm a former pitcher but I'd like to know more about that she want me to catch and then he won the above the Barlow and then that's when they start to go down in the gym oh well that's interesting I I never knew that I'm sure a lot of people have wondered about that well that's kind of unique and we've seen other people do the same thing you know Manny was out there doing it and then decades later we've seen other catchers doing it it's just something you don't really see very often and uh you know me as a pitcher I mean I always wanted to know why they actually did that so I'm sure Lenny you have a question on that too yeah yeah I I remember a few cats was getting low like that too there was another Pirates catcher that kind of uh it emulated that style of catching as well isn't that very difficult though as far as the throwing mechanism getting up like that people relax the same way you throw the butt to the picture you took to second base it is one and go here you'll be smooth and then you thought Tony Pena you to do it right yes you did according to the New York Yankee I I with the fortunately I was able to practice in my room and say they go to any what you call dive bar I say my room thrown the file in my fellow I put it and then I used to throw like a Honda and 50 and then I go to sleep and that happened I used to see that in my room and yes practice for myself Manny what did it mean for you guys as a team to have the Panama expressed leading off your games having that guy Omar Moreno leading off for you guys oh Macy day he started to burn the ball before they get the body is placed like a two feet from first base that got you to fly and then we we we looked we look for seeing and stealing Basin and they run it from first to home play because you you look like a he knows he's like a thick four like he don't want to ruin it but every song he just be right in your face it was messy that when we see him we only tell them my boss he hit the bun in the ground yeah it's really great to be able to have a weapon like that on your team and you guys had many many other weapons and Hall of Famers on that team so what we're gonna do Manny we're getting close to a break here pretty soon but man we're gonna get into that World Series team and a lot of the teammates that made that we are family you are listening right now to Manny sanguian on the sports circus we will be back after a few commercial

a question on the pitching staff you had such a great bunch of guys as far as starters I mean you ended up having big Jim Bibby on there you had the Candyman you had Bruce Keystone but how important was it too Manny to be able to have a submarine thrower like cats and Colby to clean up a game how special was that were really tough the way for you to throw like a 93 to something he tried to throw too hard and then you know what else when they hear it but when they hit take it they're coming down or where their body was Heavy go down wait man that was when he would come and pastry in you know I can not want any man when he go to the ballgame we know that we have a 99 chance to win again scenari Chuck then I bring a bird fly 11 from the bullpen and then Brothers his throat curved by the making them look bad he would care that they don't know what was coming he saved again to go to the world said very blind level in 79. he's changing for the picture to be in there and the bullpen police too close again Robinson [Music] right now now Manny as far as about uh Team hitting you guys were very powerful but how great was it I want you to give a little bit of a snapshot of of Bill

two-headed machine you know I love Dave parking I love man I know day park I go right now with like a way you can have it like he's shaking right now but baby I love you and be a mother you'll be a good boy because you're my guy yeah then they park it was unbelievable if he is going to walk to the holy frame for the two knees kill him most of the time and then we have a path Willie they were the master I remember this in the seven game in Baltimore I think mcgregates throw him as a slightly he he knows yesterday I wanna see for that picture the whole night to right field that's the kind they confirm we have to ensure that we talk to each other so so many why don't you give us a little bit of an exclamation or an explanation about the stars that Willie Stargell would give out to the players when they get you get where you cross one or two stars you sacrifice you move the guy to one base to the other you get things you throw somebody out you get something yellow we have is something for everybody go ahead he he gave them to and they put them on top of your your hat they were put on you yeah that everybody was so happy said great Mexican candy the player we were too happy each other yeah you know that actually reminds me of what they do in football especially in college football you see like for for the Ohio State fans of course they they give them a buckeye sticker and put it on their helmets I know I had to get Bucky involved over shirts as soon as I said that but yeah you know Manny that's the same kind of idea and I think that the players uh they like the recognition everybody could see look this is what I've been contributing if you have a question take a look at my hat this is what these guys everybody want one I thought we win sometimes right

Beach Lenny has a page too certainly do Lenny Adkins Adkins you can go ahead and hit me there request me as a friend please please be my friend and as I accept you we will go ahead and contact one another there also I got Lenny Long Beach Lenny number four on Twitter and Sal we gotta we gotta give credit where credit's due and Sal generally you really wouldn't say this term to to give somebody a atta boy on the back great job to a real dirt bag okay that just doesn't sound complimentary but it is how about Jared Weaver finishing his career with 150 wins and finally hanging it up let's get some Applause for the big dirt bag out of Long Beach State uh he's disappointed many of fantasy baseball owners I'll tell you that one from personal experience [Applause] from your ring Master Sal because Jared Weaver yeah pretty good player not a great player you know anything to push the Angel's agenda on your fantasy baseball on your fantasy baseball team Lenny go ahead okay let's not let's not hashtag Rain on My Parade okay how about guys how about we go to this how about sometimes things are misspoken we've all done that but then you say things that are intentional and you gotta wonder when somebody says something straight and intentional gotta wonder where he's coming from how about the great uh uh Mr Stanton over here in Miami who is just mashing the mess out of the ball and yes Sal this guy can certainly Mash all right he's a monster Master league but he was recently said quoted when when he was growing up and he was watching old films of Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle that those guys were the standard and that 61 had always been the number on his mind as a young boy but Stanton also went further he said when Ruth hit a record 60 home runs in 1927 he said he gives that achievement a big asterisk because the sport at that time didn't integrate all Races in the game so he's putting an asterisk next to the big Bambino because at that time they just didn't have everybody inclusive Sal okay what what sense did that make to even say that considering that this man yes he's biracial but his dad is completely White so I don't understand why did you want to pile on Babe Ruth and the Mick and all of those greats that came before you that sets that that said set qualifying records for others to follow Sal all this does is this brings him it introduces him it's the first step over the line in the colon cancer Nick a world this guy is now stepping into very dangerous territory and once you do that now you're going to be labeled as a problem now do you believe that the new group in Miami with Derek Jeter and with uh Schumann right I think that's the guy's name uh yeah I think yeah he he's the guy that put up all the money do you believe they're gonna want a problematic situation popping up oh this is again just like the conversation we had yesterday about using the owner's stage to exercise your agenda now now let's take that a step further if that is the case if they're going to put a asterisk or he's going to put an asterisk by it and everybody was saying well uh all these Southern statues these Confederate statues coming down and all this other stuff like Lee for example slave owner okay and then then we had our president come back and say well hey wait a minute George Washington was an enormous slave holder so it was Thomas Jefferson so are you going to take statues of them down too so my point is if you're going to put an asterisk next to uh obviously the the most recognizable name in baseball period ever ever that played in the beanbag era it wasn't even a baseball back then and you got a guy playing with a tightly now or tightly wound ball today that's hitting moonshots imagine what they would have did with that ball back in root state I mean that imagine how far mantle would have hit him even I mean so look this guy is getting into some very dangerous territory and he really ought to consider keeping his opinion on this to himself or talking about it outside the Forum like we discussed yesterday Bucky I know you got a comment on this well talking about Babe Ruth's era when he was hitting 50 some home runs I think the guy that was number two was hitting something like 20 18 19 home runs it wasn't even close and look at the rates back then too right it just it wasn't even close in in his era so why he's entering this arena is because he's biracial and because there's going to be a lot of buzz on that right just look what look what LeBron James is doing right now and all he's doing is he's cutting off his finger despite his hand exactly it's the same garbage Lenny go ahead so what are we supposed to do guys are we supposed to go into the into the Hall of Fame now and are we supposed to just change everything just like you were saying Sal you know yes right now in America there is some Division and people are wanting to yank down statues and change history but that doesn't fare well with the fans here the fans aren't looking at this style saying yeah you know what uh ring Master Lenny this is not this this is not right we have to go into the Hall of Fame we have to put some asterisks or even in Yankee Stadium we have to go ahead and take out the the big bust heads of those that just didn't play with it with integration at that time are we supposed to go back to a certain level before the Negro Leagues got integrated Sal and say okay everything prior to that it really didn't count it really didn't mean anything and the Colonel's right to say that you know babe Herman Ruth you know this guy Not only was he people think so and people lose history by thinking that Babe Ruth was just some beer chugging fat guy that just got up there swung the stick and smoked a cigar and Corrals you know he may have done some of those things P but Babe Ruth was also a pitcher he was an incredible pitcher incredible pitcher I mean he had skill and all they think is uh here here's the guy swinging a bat and you see him hitting a home run by the way look in the record books as well Babe Ruth has a lot of doubles he's he he ran the base as well he knew the game well he coached the game well he is Sal and it doesn't matter he he is up there on the Mount Rushmore of players and and I'm sorry to interrupt you and don't forget this guy was playing in parks that were Giant I mean hitting a home run in some of these Parks I mean that was a mammoth task today you have a lively ball you have a very friendly environment the way a lot of the parks are configured I think it's just so overblown today it's all about everybody getting a gold star again we talked about that we have baseball's version of the snowflake League and let them with his is bat cell and let's see how many home runs are going to hit 500 feet with the Bambinos wooden Pine bat let's see how many you know let's say these records get escalated let's have Bonds in those guys without steroids and stuff let's have them hit by just having a regular diet with with you know steak and potatoes and and Regular Joe they didn't have any supplements or anything like that and you know we could get a lot of more information because we know that Colonel Bucky did I think he was a bat boy for Babe Ruth so Colonel what do you have to say about this topic here well I think when you're talking about names that stand Above the Rest not only in their time but still today at least in in my mind Babe Ruth is certainly one of them in baseball and Jim Brown is one in football they both dominated in their era and I don't care what color they are we know one's black and one's white so what I'm talking about eras here and in their eras there was nobody even close to either one I would agree to that absolutely how about some Applause for that thing absolutely supplies for the colonel yes of course that would be that would be the colonel breaking his arm to Pat himself on the back yet again but of course that's commonplace here hey I'm just in trouble what's commonplace for the Raider fans I don't know if they know what that means commonplace for the Raider fans would be the put the the guy's uh house that the couches are empty and the fridge is full that's a common place for the Raider fan they love it so so guys just just just to end my thought on this Babe Ruth these players that came before you know Stan stanson needs to to acquire a deeper appreciation for the history of the game and these players that have set the path and the standard and literally the salary that that he gets to enjoy some of these guys even even as early as the 70s sell um you know that weren't making that great of money but they love the game they love their team and they love the fans uh this guy needs to take a a little bit of that away from himself yeah I would agree I mean look in this era in today's game it's a very different game it's a different fan base but the money distorts absolutely everything and frankly it's Wrecking the game back then they played because they loved the game they love the fans they loved everything about it but they had jobs so nonetheless anyway we're gonna go ahead and wrap this one up here and uh we're gonna see everybody tomorrow here at the sports circus so until then be sure to tune in and have a fantastic day so long everybody [Music] kcaa Loma Linda 10 50 am 106.5
