What was Adam Amin's experience during the World Baseball Classic?
As we get set here in Pool B for the second game, Adam Amin, a couple of World Series champions, and A.J. Pruszynski and Adam Wainwright, Ken Rosenthal is with us as well. Judge swings, launches it deep left field, heading towards the wall, it is gone! Aaron Judge, the captain, sets the tone in Houston. It's 2-0, United States. It feels like most nights, he's got a quiet 20... Sexton, he does not have a quiet night. That's a 25-point night working on 6 of 8 from downtown. Hit me with it, Stace. We haven't heard it in a long time. I almost forgot. I haven't said it in a month. Drive home safely, Chicago. Beep, beep. Way to remind me. It's been a while since I've been able to say it. Oh, I feel so good. I'm back, Elizabeth.
Oh, Lord. We lost you for a bit there, pal. We lost you for a bit there. I totally forgot about that, man. My bad. For Stacy, Casey, our great crew, I'm Adam. With Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.
It is always a great day when we get to talk to Adam Amin on our hotline. He joins us from where? Let's start with that. Adam Amin, the Bulls announcer, Major League Baseball on Fox, World Baseball Classic on Fox, NFL as well. Adam, thanks for joining us. Are you on the West Coast? Where are you?
We're West Coast in it. We've got Bulls and Warriors tonight.
I wasn't sure if you were on the call or not, because let's go through the interactive map that you posed on your Instagram. Ten days, eight games, seven cities, four time zones, and two sports. Even for you, that's pretty extreme.
You know what, though? I've always said this. I ask for no pity. We're not like... making a deal out of this because it's like, oh, woe is us. We have to travel around the world. It's just fun. It's a fun thing to be able to do. It's a fun thing to go from city to city and cover these cool events and cover things I've never covered before. I've never done a WBC until this past weekend, and we'll finish off. The rest of this Bulls West Coast road trip this week, they're playing in San Francisco tonight. They'll play in Los Angeles on Thursday and Friday. I'm taking a red-eye flight on Friday night from L.A. to Miami, so going cross-country. And we're going to see Team Japan play in the quarterfinals against either the Dominican Republic or Venezuela in Miami for a spot in the semifinals.
That's going to be an electric atmosphere tonight. In Miami, the two Latin American countries have incredible fan bases. The Dominicans and the Venezuelans, their fan bases are electric. The Japanese fans, they travel well. I know they were in the Tokyo Dome for the WBC, but there's going to be a lot of Japanese fans there in Miami, too, next week or at the end of the week. I just think it's such a cool event to get to bounce around and hop in and call a few of these games. It's really cool. The atmosphere watching... In Houston last night, I was sitting in my hotel room in San Francisco watching it, and it was probably more favored towards Mexico, understandable in Houston, but it was such a great atmosphere to watch on TV, and this event is... I knew there was a lot of buzz going into this particular WBC.
I was excited to call it. I didn't realize how much of a jolt that you feel while calling some of these games.
Adam, pop quiz. One, what day of the week is it? Two, what is your hotel room number? Do you know the answers to these two questions?
It's Tuesday and... 12. I had to think about it because there have been a bunch of those. There have been a bunch of those this week. I legitimately had to make sure I didn't screw it up.
I've definitely done that. I thought I was staying in the room number for the previous stop. Yeah, it's happened.
The day of the week thing just starts to lose sight, but you do have a very specific program that you're on. The other question I wanted to ask is, what is your favorite of the cities that you are visiting in this time away from Chicago?
I mean, I always love going to Los Angeles, but that's usually just because there's friends out there. There's a lot of people out there that they usually get to run into.
