He said, I'm going to come along and I'm going to call the first game with you.

And then my wife and I are going to dinner and you have the second game.

great that's very professional sure I'll do it and Matt I knew nothing I knew and I wasn't really a big baseball fan like a huge college sports fan so he's in tickets to Missouri football went to the basketball games yeah I like the Cardinals and Royals but you know I wasn't diehard like I was the other stuff and I realized on the bus ride that I didn't know baseball lingo mm-hmm

Like I didn't know the language.

So I had this Sony Walkman and I was listening to a chip carry and Pete Van Waring call.

Good guys to learn from.

And I just remember particular about being impactful to me.

Um, when Chipper Jones got jammed with a fastball and I,

You know, Skip said something like, lay in on the hands, you know, whatever.

Yeah.

And they called it a jam job or something like that.

I was like, I wouldn't think about in on the hands.

I wouldn't think about any of this stuff.

I've got to work this in.

And that night, our team had this tall, rangy outfielder.

I'm going to remember his name in a second.

Oh, man.

Johnson, his last name was Johnson, which probably added to it.

Yeah.

And this is how my call went, Matt.
