What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Bob, during the break, I got a text from our guy Bubba at 100.7 Star. He's the new South Fayette baseball coach. And he told me, me and my coaching staff at South Fayette could train you for a month where I know we could have you ready to at least make contact with a 95-mile-an-hour fastball. And once you make contact, anything can happen. Anything can happen. I don't know about that. How much movement is on that fastball limits? I'm sure there's some. I'm sure it's not. I'm not facing Paul Skeens up here. I mean, you're facing Major League pitching. Hopefully it's the 26th man on the team. The last guy out of the bullpen. Maybe Archimedes Caminero. Remember him? Yeah. Why don't we try it, Bob? Why don't we train limits for a month and then send him to spring training like George Plimpton in the paper line?
Remember that? George Plimpton, the sports writer who went and joined the Detroit Lions for their training camp and got in and played. Let's do it. Would the Pirates agree to it? Might they sign limits as their hitter of the offseason? They would put him in spring training. Absolutely they would. What if he hit a homer? He wouldn't. Never. Never. That's not happening. Remember when Garth Brooks played a spring training with the Pirates? Yeah, and Billy Crystal had a few at-bats, too. Yeah, maybe they could have me go in and do that. Remember when Callis hit that ball down the line in that game that he played in at Wild Things Park? Who'd he hit it off? It was kind of a dribbler, wasn't it? Yeah, he hit like a 90-mile-an-hour pitch.
Yeah, he played college baseball. He hit off the kid for the A's. Mason Miller. Mason Miller. They were teammates. Or maybe they were, I think they went against each other in high school. They went against each other. Or teammates in college. He's not with the A's anymore, though. Do you know that Harry Callas took a line drive right to the Brett Favre's, Bob? No. There's a photo of it. A famous photo. And the expression that comes with it? Not happy. How could you be? Has Bob not seen Harry's Twitter profile? Is it still his Twitter profile? I don't know. But somebody was videoing the game. Yeah, it is. There's a picture, Bob. Go to where it says Nicholas Callis, Bob, on Twitter. And it looks like he's pitching in this instance, and it's a comebacker.
It's real. It's not AI. This was before the days of AI when Harry Callis got hit in the far. I see it's an action picture with a ball come. Are you sure that's real? That's real. Yeah, that's definitely real. That is real. Wow. Look at that. Let's bring on the big boy, Mark Cabali. The Mark Cabali Report brought to you by IC Light. Mark Kabaly of the Pat McAfee Show. Wonderful man, a philanthropist, spiritual guru. What's up, Joe? What's up, Bob? Patriot and a mentor to many of us in this business. I like when you always say spiritual guru. He is. How you doing? Good. I was wondering, when was the last time you got hit in the bubble love sponge? Man, it's been a long time. A long time. I think everyone has that. Probably in a basketball game somehow.
Somebody kneeing me or something, but it's been a while. Direct hit or off the glance? Don't remember. I hate when it comes up. You get hit, and then you're like, oh, you're waiting to see if it was a full contact or if it was off the side of the rim, you know? Never a good feeling, is it? No. I actually once stepped on a rake in a sand bunker and dropped it. And it shot back up on me. And I've learned never to do that again. That would have been great to see, Bob. Is there video? No. Not even the aftermath? Nobody was recording that. You could have heard me, though. I was not in a happy way. Everything good with you, big boy? Oh, absolutely perfect. Now, you thought that the Steelers were going to lose. They won.
Yes, I did. Ben says he wants to see them beat the Lions, and then he'll really be a believer. Are you of that same mind? And I guess when we say believer, we mean a team that can win a playoff game. And if you win a playoff game, then you have a chance, obviously. Then you're in the divisional round, one week away from the AFC title game.
