What insights does Terry Collins share about his baseball career?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring. You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring.
Another episode of Pitch and Moan. I am your host, Courtney Fennecom. And I am with none other than former Mets manager, Terry Collins. Terry, welcome to the show. How are you?
I'm doing fine. Thank you, Courtney. Thank you for having me on your show. On your show.
Well, listen, I am an old school baseball fan. Everyone knows that. And you're a pretty old school guy yourself, which I love. But you are a podcaster yourself now.
Is that correct? That is. You know, I got talked into it a couple of years ago. John Arezzi, he did a podcast with John Gibbons in Toronto yesterday. John got the coaching job in New York and he was looking for somebody else. And he said, I think Terry Collins should do a podcast. So I did it the first year where we did it every week. And I, God bless you, sweetheart. I cannot, I couldn't do that. That wore me out. You know, really? Oh yeah. My age. That's a lot more. Plus.
How did Terry Collins become a podcaster?
you got to remember now, you know, there's things I want to do, you know, my, I don't, you know, I'm not want to be tied down to try to find guests and try to find questions and answers and, you know, I've done it all. So I, so the last year I did it once, once a month, this year I'm doing it once a month. And so that works out fine. I am, I'm happy with that. And, but yeah, yeah. I'm probably reaching the end, Courtney. It'll be up to you next year.
Oh, so you're going to give me the reins to take over this?
I'm going to give you the reins. I'd be happy. And then we'll have a ceremony if you want. We can do it.
Now, you know, okay, so I have been to 27 stadiums, okay? The one stadium that I am missing is Citi Field in New York.
You're kidding.
I know. It's a crime, isn't it? It's a crime.
Yes.
Because it's not brand new. It's not a brand new place. And you need to go because it is, without a question, one of the top five stadiums in all of baseball, being maybe the number one playing surface in all of baseball.
Interesting. So I'm a Petco Park girl. That is my favorite. I was down there a couple weeks ago covering the Padres and Tigers. Wonderful experience as always. But I've heard nothing but positives about Citi Field.
So it's a beautiful place that, you know, Jeff did a tremendous job designing the place. You know, all the spaces are great. You know, all the suites are in perfect position, numerous restaurants, numerous things to do. But he hired a guy to run to, you know, for the field. And that's what the game's about. And anybody who comes to Citi Field raves about the condition of the mound. the condition of the infield. And that's, that to me, you know, that's, I'm a baseball guy and that's what I care about is that, you know, there's no bad bounces. There's no, none of this other stuff. And it's, it's spectacular. You'll, you'll enjoy it.
So I think you and I should maybe go there together at this point. You pick out a date, I'll meet you there. And we can do an in-person interview. I can take over your podcast officially with John. It'll be quite a time. It'll be perfect.
It'll be perfect.
So, on your podcast, you kicked off your first episode, I think, last week. You had the great Jerry Seinfeld on as a guest. Now, talk about a guest. I am a Seinfeld fan. Were you a Seinfeld fan? I was.
I am. I still am. I mean, I watched the episodes from it. But I got, you know, years ago when I was managing, we had a game in – Palm Beach, where we played the Cardinals, and Jerry was at the game with his son. So he was sitting, you know, during, you know, Courtney, during spring training, the coaches kind of sit outside the dugout because there's no room. There's so many players. So I was sitting outside the dugout, and sitting behind me was Jerry Seinfeld and his son.
What memorable moments did Terry Collins experience with the Mets?
So I turned around, and we were talking, and I said, listen, you need to come out to the field.
