Steve Stone

Steve Stone is the first American League pitcher since Denny McLean to pitch three hitless innings.

Good, Layla.

How are you?

Yes, I did.

And in fact, back in the day at Wrigley Field, we had both Ozzy and Sharon in the booth.

And Ozzy really butchered Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

However,

That was really just an act, because he had the words right in front of him, and this was a professional singer who could have easily sung it if he wanted to.

The fans went crazy, and they happened to be, and this is no exaggeration, they were the nicest couple we ever had in the booth.

They went around to everybody who was in the booth and thanked them for letting them come up.

I mean, they were just gracious.

They were wonderful people.

Yeah, well, I was very fortunate at the time.

And I think they're probably still doing it.

We brought some great people in to take me out to the ballgame, the seventh inning stretch.

So I got to meet people that I never would have anyplace else.

And it was the whole experience that I had in the years that I worked there, there was, you know, the good moments were like 98% of the time to the 2% where it got a little tough.

Well, certainly it's a huge loss, but the game of baseball is an everyday game, and you play it for six months.

162 games, you really separate the men from the boys,

And when you win a division over 162, there's no mistakes.
