Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring, boring, boring. You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you, you, you. Still have grown men run around tight hands. It's Mookie Betts. It's Daniel Bard. It's Steve Aoki. It's Sal Tlamacchia. This is Brock Holt. Hey, this is John Lester. Baseball isn't boring. Baseball isn't boring.
Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring. Here's your host, Rob Radford. If you decided to retire right now, you'd be in the Hall of Fame. I... Let it be said, let it, let it be done. I am telling you, congratulations.

Chapter 2: What are Kenley Jansen's thoughts on his Hall of Fame candidacy?
I don't want to. And 10 years from now, I want to look back that, man, I could have played a few more years. You know, I'm going to let it all out. You know, this is the game that I love. You know, this is the game playing in the backyard when I was five, six years old, you know, with my brothers. You know, we played with tennis ball.
you know, like, uh, the wood, like the broom, the wood broom, I don't know how you call it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. The broomstick. Um,
Chapter 3: How does Kenley Jansen feel about continuing his baseball career?
Yeah, man. It was fun, man. When I played this game, that's what I remember. I remember my childhood. I remember how we used to get on our bikes, you know, go in the neighborhood, you know, play on the street till when the streetlights come on. You know, that's what it was. When the streetlights come on, you're in trouble. You better hurry up, get home. So that's all I remember.
And that's what I want to remember. And... That's why I want to play this game. Why stop now?
Yeah, man, especially if you're good. And by the way, math would suggest you're close to 500 saves too. Yeah, right? I mean, if you're this close, come on. 476.
It's a blessing. I just pray to God that I stay healthy and I can do a few more years. That's why I'm here.
So just keep playing. You don't have to, like, whenever you're going to finish playing. I think we've had five different versions of when you're going to retire. I don't care. Like, I don't care anymore. I just want to see you pitch, do well, which you have been. But did you see what CEO Joe said about retirement?
No, what did he say? I didn't even pay attention.
Oh, you didn't see that?
No, I wasn't curious. Oh, man.
Oh, yeah. You were on vacation somewhere. I wasn't on vacation more for the last week in Curacao, yes. But I think it was before that. But he said, so I was like, we're obviously doing a podcast. I said, Joe, you pitch next year. And he just said, fuck no. No, fuck no.

Chapter 4: What memories does Kenley Jansen share about his childhood and baseball?
I'm like, oh, that's the closest you've come to retirement. And then he went on this rant. about how athletes should never say they're retiring. That should only be people like 65 who work real jobs and military and everything else. Because athletes, they're just stopping playing. They're not retiring. They're just stopping playing. And all of a sudden, boom, boom, it went viral.
Because Joe Kelly doesn't retire but said he's not playing anymore.
No.
But anyway, so he's not playing anymore. But it's – I thought it was an interesting way to look at it. Now, I will say this. I don't begrudge anybody who announces their retirement because you want to thank a lot of people, right?
Yes. Yes.
But still, we get what Joe was saying, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you have a long life. You're going to have another 50 years after you throw your last pitch.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, hey, Joe, you know what would be classic? When he turns 60, 65, he's like, okay, I'm officially retiring from baseball. That's classic Joe for you.
Or better yet, when he's 60, he comes out, and he's like, actually, I'm going to pitch another game.
He probably was going to throw 100.
