Happy Birthday Uke! 90 years young today.

This is a guy I grew up on when he played the father on a sitcom called Mr. Belvedere. He also starred in a LOT of beer commercials, where he was in the wrong seat, and said “I must be in the FRONT row!” and then was escorted to the worst seat in the stadium. That’s the kind of comedian he was.

I once went to a Milwaukee Brewers game in Wisconsin.An usher was kind enough to let us walk on the field after the game (our seats were in the upper deck ,behind home plate, where we saw Arizona pitcher Craig Schilling throw 17 strikeouts --- turns out he was juiced up on steroids at the time, but it was still something to see, even though he was cheating). But my current stepdad said SOMETHING to the usher which made him let us walk out onto the field after the game I’m fortunate enough to have done this at Dodger Stadium (Dodgers), Miller Park (Brewers), and Safeco Field (Mariners - -and the Oakland A’s (the team that they played that night) equipment guy was the one who made sure we all got game balls, so much love to the Oakland Athletics as well. for the kindness  of an underappreciated staff member. As well as the L.A. Coliseum just before a Raiders game before the game (the team came out of the tunnel as we were escorted across the field by a security guard who had TOLD us to enter in the wrong gate so he could take us across the field as a treat -- he was a fiend of current stepdad (the good one), but while I had seen Howie Long MANY times before this, as he lived in my town, I had never seen in UPRIGHT and had NO CLUE how LARGE that man was until I was two feet away from him -- I had only seen him driving his Jeep and just how TALL and LARGE of a man he was didn’t translate until he ran around me to take the field). But I grew up watching a sitcom called Mr. Belvedere. I knew of him before that frim beer commercials. 

But his big break, other than his major league career, and his stint as an announcer in the movie Major League (which is a pretty good film if you’re a baseball fan) or an actual play-by-play guy for the Brewers, he had a heck of a sitcom run on a show that was actually a pretty good show. He wasn’t the star, but he was GOOD.

This may be the WORST player to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame. But I’ll be damned I I don’t think he actually deserves it. His contributions as a player are not great. But his contributions to the sport cannot be denied.

The 2019 MLB Home Run Derby Running Diary: So Many Dingers

Back back back back back back back back back back back back back to the well with another running diary because what else am I going to write about during the worst sports week of the year!? What else am I going to write about right now? The Philadelphia 76ers NBA summer league (tempting), the frightening ineptitude of Jake Arrieta and his bone spurry elbow (too depressing), or the Flyers?! THE FLYERS?! I think not.

Let’s see who can hit the most dingers in the second most worthless exhibition that will be played this week as I waste nearly three hours of my life watching the 2019 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby.

8 p.m. – Bob Eucker opens the festivities. If he could just do all his lines from “Major League” for the rest of the night that would be better than the planned ESPN broadcast. Thanks.

8:01 p.m. – Karl Ravech and his totally not a toupee and absolutely natural hair welcomes us to lovely Cleveland, Ohio for the 2019 T-Mobile Home Run Derby! What a historic event. Who could ever forget when Dave Parker slugged six home runs in the first ever T-Mobile Home Run Derby in 1985? Unforgettable. Mark Teixeira and his wet ham personality joins the broadcast and is immediately tuned out by the entire viewing audience.

8:03 p.m. – Something called DJ Irene is pretending to play music in centerfield as the night’s entrants are announced. Let’s meet the 2019 candidates who will fuck up their swings for the rest of the season to win bragging rights for an outdated exhibition that nobody cares about.

#1 seed Matt Chapman (21 home runs) – A last minute replacement for the #1 overall seed Christian Yelich. A third baseman for the Oakland A’s, Chapman apparently plays professional baseball while he’s not selling awful used cars for Chapman Ford in the offseason.

#2 seed Pete Alonso (30 home runs) – Pete “The Polar Bear” Alonso, a rookie for the New York Mets, has mashed 30 home runs so far this season and is eager to see how his very promising career will be derailed by his franchise.

#3 seed Josh Bell (27 home runs) – An outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates and apparently not the former co-star of the Teen Nick sitcom smash “Drake and Josh.”

#4 seed Alex Bregman (23 home runs) – A third baseman for the Houston Astros and official workhorse for the Coggin Toboggan, who bet $10 on him to win at +850. Real good guy, nothing but great things to say about this exciting young man. Salt of the earth.

#5 seed Joc Pederson (20 home runs) – Outfielder and first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers with the most infuriating first name of any of the competitors. Joc. JOC. Fucking gross. He shall be known as JP for the rest of the proceedings.

#6 Ronald Acuna Jr.  (21 home runs) – Some loser for the Atlanta Braves. BOOOOOOOO.

#7 Carlos Santana (19 home runs) – Phillies legend Carlos Santana. Immediately resurrected his career after losing all athletic ability playing one year for Philadelphia. Sounds about right.

#8 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (8 home runs) – Third baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays. Rumor has it his dad actually played a little professional baseball. That’s crazy, I can’t believe the media has never mentioned that before.

8:10 p.m. – Bryce Harper was invited right? He’s an All-Star, isn’t he? I’m sure he’s just late.

8:14 p.m. – Marly Rivera interviews Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who may or may not have a father who played professional baseball.

8:20 p.m. – The first match-up of the night features JP against our boy Bregman. Pederson hits 21 home runs and I can taste that $10 just slipping away. GOD DAMNIT, JP, I GOT KIDS. Most of his home runs only went one or two rows deep into the outfield. Should be disqualified.

8:25 p.m. – Trying to convince my wife that if a ball hits one of the kids shagging fly balls in the head and goes over the fence it counts as two. She is not convinced.

8:27 p.m. – Dear God it’s a rocky start for our boy Bregman. One home run in the first 30 seconds. PICK IT UP. It’s a home run derby, not a line drive derby, THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR THE PLACE TO SHOW OFF YOUR LEVEL SWING. UPPERCUT THE SHIT OUT OF IT AND LET’S GO.

8:28 p.m. – Bregman has hit 6 in a minute and a half and takes a timeout.

8:30 p.m. – He keeps hitting the very top of the left field wall. Is that wall regulation height or what?!

8:31 p.m. – Pathetic. HIT ONE OFF THE KIDS AND HOPE IT GOES OVER, THAT COUNTS AS TWO.

8:32 p.m. – 16 home runs and he’s out. Christ. Mark Texeira: “If I’m going to teach my kids how to swing, I’m showing them Alex Bregman’s swing.” Shut up Mark. JP moves on and I wish I didn’t have to watch the rest of this.

8:33 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. vs. Chapman up next. Guerrero Jr. is the youngest player to ever participate in a home run derby and he promptly hits a scorching grounder to third… and then a 462 foot home run to dead center.

8:35 p.m. – What kind of waivers does MLB make these kids’ parents sign before letting them go out to the outfield to try to catch 110 MPH juiced ball rockets?

“Sign here, initial here, sign here again…this waives us from all liability if your child has his skull caved in after losing a ball in the lights. Good news though, if your child does slip into a coma we’ll give you 20% off all purchases from the official MLB merchandise store for all purchase of $100 or more.”

8:40 p.m. – Good lord. He hit 29 home runs. Tied Josh Hamilton for most in a round ever. I will say he hit a few before they actually landed, a clear violation of home run derby rules. I expect MLB officials to announce his disqualification shortly.

8:43 p.m. – Matt “thanks for coming out” Chapman is up next. His dad is pitching to him. Knowing my dad he would have yelled at me for “not keeping my hands low and my head down on the swing” and I would have stormed off the field in tears after hurling my bat at him like I was 10-years-old again. Good times!

8:45 p.m. – I’ll be the first to say it; we’re all just watching this to see one of the kids get scorched off the dome, aren’t we? Half of them aren’t even paying attention to the action. FOCUS.

8:46 p.m. – Chapman’s dad keeps throwing balls outside of the zone and up by his head,  JUST LOB IT OVER THE PLATE, JESUS CHRIST. The only explanation for his poor pitching performance is he’s been playing the long con, waiting years before he had the opportunity to publicly humiliate his son in front of millions of fans on a national stage. Mission completed.

8:47 p.m. – His dad cannot throw a strike and looks completely gassed. Chapman has 13 home runs with 30 bonus seconds left to hit 17 more for the win. His dad promptly throws two balls to start things off. Something tells me his invitation to the next Oakland A’s father/son weekend is going to be conveniently lost in the mail. Guerrero moves on.

8:53 p.m. – Tracy Morgan is apparently hosting the ESPYs this year. Oh boy, I can’t wait to hear him read three hours of canned sports jokes off a teleprompter with the same amount of energy as John Kruk when his blood sugar dips.

8:57 p.m. – Ronald Acuna Jr. vs. Josh Bell next. Sadly, Acuna Jr. has a great swing and it will be extraordinarily depressing to see him blast a 600-foot home run off of Vince Velasquez on Sept. 1 to officially eliminate the Phillies from postseason contention.

9:03 p.m. – Acuna Jr. smashes 24 home runs off of Phillies great Tomas Perez, proving once and for all that if you want to hit as many home runs as possible you just need to face Phillies pitching.

9:04 p.m. – I’m already tired of people making the Phillies pitching joke on Twitter. Alright we get it:

I'd be the betting favorite in the Home Run Derby tonight if I announced I was flying Jerad Eickhoff in to throw to me.

— CogginToboggan (@CogginToboggan) July 8, 2019

This guy made the same recycled joke last year. What a tool:

If Rhys Hoskins brought Hector Neris to pitch to him he would have hit 50 home runs.

— CogginToboggan (@CogginToboggan) July 17, 2018

9:06 p.m. – Betting favorite Josh Bell hit four home runs in a minute and a half. Feel sorry for all the people who bet on this loser and will be out of the derby after the first round. Couldn’t imagine making such a poor bet.

9:10 p.m. – Mark Teixeira: “You really need the person throwing you the balls to put them in the same place every time to get into a rhythm.” Wow, thanks Mark. Should the hitters also try to put the balls over the fence for them to count as a home run?

9:13 p.m. – Bell hits 18 home runs and is eliminated, proving once and for all that nothing good ever comes out of Pittsburgh.

9:15 p.m. – Carlos Santana is up next vs. Pete Alonso. At the All-Star break last year, Santana was hitting .209 with 14 HRs and a .747 OPS. This year, Santana is your starting AL All-Star cleanup hitter and is smashing .297 with 19 HRs and a .958 OPS. Fuck my life!

9:18 p.m. – Santana promptly shits the bed and only hits 12 home runs, the lowest in the derby so far. That’s a shame. A damned shame. Somewhere Gabe Kapler is fist pumping in a dimly lit basement as he knocks out another 5,000 angry crunches under a bare light bulb.

9:19 p.m. – Watching Santana hit in the derby and be elected to his first All-Star team was worse than listening to Ben Davis last year opine on the extraordinary value of Santana’s ability to take a walk while hitting .229 for the entire season.

9:22 p.m. – Pete “The Polar Bear” Alonso is up next. He’s nicknamed the Polar Bear because he bought a pair of illegal polar bear skin batting gloves off the Dark Web, which he attributes to his great success.

9:25 p.m. – Alonso is letting history’s greatest monster off the hook so far after only hitting six home runs in 2:30.

9:27 p.m. – “That just hit the scoreboard” Teixeira mentions for a home run that comes about 20 rows short of the scoreboard.

9:28 p.m. – Alonso! Alonso! Alonso! 14 home runs to send Santana packing, HUMILIATING Carlos in front of his friends and family. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?! YES!

9:29 p.m. – As is tradition, Santana must now eat a mouthful of Chris Berman’s wispy skullet hair for hitting the least amount of home runs in a round. Rules are rules, sorry Carlos.

9:34 p.m. – Disappointed ESPN hasn’t trotted out the bloated gin corpse of Chris Berman to give us one epic BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK before banishing him back to the extra-large cryotherapy chamber he spends 360 days a year in.

9:36 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. vs. JP in the semis. Christ, I’m already bored with this. Just bring back the MTV Rock and Jock Softball game instead of this nonsense. Who else remembers when Frank Thomas hit a home run with the eight ball in the 1993 event to lead the Dan Cortese coached “Awayboys” to victory over the hated Corbin Bernsen coached “Homeboys.” Anyone? Just me? Ok then.

9:41 p.m. – GUERRERO JR. HITS 29 HOME RUNS AGAIN! The potential 30th home run came within an inch of going out on the final hit. Did you know his dad was Vlad Guerrero? Who won the event in 2007? WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS?

9:44 p.m. – Mother of God, JP isn’t going away. Despite his terrible name he hits an impressive 14 home runs with two minutes left to go.

9:48 p.m. – Holy shit, JP hits 27 home runs and needs to hit three more in his 30 second bonus to defeat Guerrero Jr.

9:50 p.m. – They both hit 29 overall and each get to take a swing at Karl Ravech’s head and whoever hits his toupee furthest goes to the championship round.

9:55 p.m. – ESPN goes the PC liberal route and opts for a two minute home run tie breaker. They both hit another 8 home runs, tying again. YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WATCH MORE OF THIS BULLSHIT?! JUST END IT ALREADY.

9:56 p.m. – THEY TIED AGAIN. AFTER A THREE SWING HIT OFF, THEY TIE AGAIN. They both hit a home run in three swings and go to ANOTHER overtime round. Did I die before overtime started? Is this purgatory for me? Am I going to watch these two hit dingers for the rest of my days until my soul is absolved of all its sins? It could be worse, I could have to watch the Flyers.

10 p.m. – For this overtime round whoever is the son of Vladimir Guerrero wins and goes on to the championship.

10:03 p.m. – That was amazing.  Guerrero hits two bombs with his three swings and JP hits one. JP, like every Dodgers fan ever, leaves immediately before the contest is over so he can beat traffic.

10:03 p.m. – The only thing that could have made that any better would have been a quick shot of Zack Hample being trampled as he ran for one of the home run balls.

10:05 p.m. – Christ, I forgot we still have more of this. Just end it now and give it to Guerrero Jr., he deserves the trophy and the $1 million. I don’t care about anything else.

10:06 p.m. – Somewhere Chris Berman looked up from his third Reuben sandwich of the evening, grunted at the TV, and squirted Thousand Island dressing directly from the bottle into his mouth.

10:12 p.m. – I’d respect Acuna Jr. more if he just bunted for the rest of the competition.

10:16 p.m. – Acuna Jr. is gassed despite the three hour break he got watching Guerrero Jr. and JP put on the greatest home run derby round of all time. He hits 19.

10:19 p.m. – Alonso is up and the crowd gasps off-screen after his first hit. Maybe DJ Irene was beaned by an Alonso line drive as he was looking for the club remix of the Cupid Shuffle.

10:20 p.m. – The broadcast just revealed that Alonso is actually called the Polar Bear because of an incident in high school where he tossed a second grader into the polar bear enclosure of the Bronx Zoo for a laugh.

10:24 p.m. – Alonso hits 20 to send Acuna Jr. packing. Because he is a promising young member of the Mets, I look forward to reading about his MRI results tomorrow showing he tore both rotator cuffs simultaneously at some point during the competition.

10:28 p.m. – Apparently Paul Heyman announced on Monday Night Raw that BROCKKKKK LESNARRRRR would cash in his Money in the Bank contract this Sunday at Extreme Rules in Philadelphia. I found this exponentially more interesting than anything Mark Teixeira has said all night.

10:31 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. has hit 69 total home runs going into the championship. Somewhere, Rob Gronkowski is giggling to himself.

10:35 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. hits a paltry 22 home runs in the championship round. He is one pathetic loser.

10:40 p.m. – Oh my God just end this. I’ve had it. I’ve been out of contention to win money for 95% of this entire broadcast.

10:41 p.m. – A gorgeous shot of downtown Cleveland and its historic Applebees that LeBron James once refused to step foot in.

10:45 p.m. – Alonso hits 23 in the final round to beat Guerrero Jr. It should be fun to hear Mike Francesa rationalize how this is on par with the Mets 1986 World Series championship.

10:51 p.m. – What a night, what a derby. Guerrero Jr. and JP put on a show, Alonso won the championship after Guerrero Jr. punched himself out, and most importantly Carlos Santana embarrassed himself on national television.

“Macho Man” Randy Savage (w/ Miss Elizabeth) vs. “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase (w/ Andre the Giant) for the vacant WWF Championship

So as we head into the fourth installment of Wrestlemania, there seemed to be a sense of uncertainty in the air as this felt like a much different Wrestlemania than the previous three years. With those previous shows, we always knew what the main event of the show would be which was Hulk Hogan defending the WWF Title against the big challenger at the time with last year’s showdown with Andre the Giant being one of the biggest of all time. But this year, they decide to do something completely different by having the biggest show of the year be based around a tournament to crown a new champion. Going into the tournament, it was pretty clear that the heavy favorites were Hogan, Andre, and Ted Dibiase who seemed to be tailor made to sneak away with the title after almost having it handed it to him by Andre back in February. However, there was one guy that was slowly working his way up and that was Randy Savage who seemed to be in a state of flux after the feud with the Honkytonk Man ended back at the Main Event. It was going to be interesting to see who of these four would end up being in the finals at the end of the night and who was going to walk away with the title.

Since Savage and Dibiase faced each other back at the last Saturday Night’s Main Event on 3/12, the two would stay apart on the house shows as Dibiase would continue his feud with Hogan while Savage would regularly team with Strike Force to face Honkytonk Man and the Hart Foundation in 6-man tags. They would also stay apart on TV as they would cut various promos going into this show, so again it would be very interesting to see how the tournament would end up playing out in the end.

By the time we get to the end of the show which was a very long show, it was clear that Dibiase was the heavy favorite as he got to the finals by defeating Jim Duggan and Don Muraco before getting a bye due to Hogan and Andre going to a double disqualification. On the other side of the coin, Savage had a much harder road as he defeated Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, and the One Man Gang and now he comes here for his fourth match of the night as the underdog. We get all the pomp and circumstance for this match as Robin Leach comes out with the title to present it to the new champion, and Vanna White and the great Bob Eucker come to be the guest timekeeper and ring announcer. On a side note, it is pretty jarring seeing Donald Trump in the crowd as a fan not knowing at the time where he would be in about 18 years. Dibiase was red hot as a heel as he comes out with Andre in place of Virgil and Savage gets a big pop from the crowd, and in a cool note Savage and Elizabeth had worn different outfits for all their matches including this one. The two men lock up to start with Dibiase backing Savage into the corner only for Savage to block his shots and get an elbow in, but Andre trips him up from the outside and Savage yells at him as the fans look towards the entrance thinking someone will come out. They lock up again with Savage hooking a headlock and he goes behind Dibiase as they trade momentum until Savage regains control, and he goes back to the headlock and knocks Dibiase down only for Andre to again trip him from the outside. Dibiase misses the elbow and Savage goes after Andre briefly as he regroups on the apron before returning to the ring, They lock up with Dibiase working on the arm only for Savage to turn it around and they trade momentum until Dibiase rams Savage into the buckle, and he pounds on Savage in the corner and knocks him down before hitting a clothesline for a two count. Dibiase hooks a headlock and knocks him down only for Savage to block a sunset flip by nailing Dibiase, and he hits a clothesline on Dibiase for a two count as Dibiase regroups in the corner and he confers with Andre. They lock up with Dibiase getting a knee in and he pounds on Savage before knocking him down and he stomps on him, and he hits a back elbow on Savage and drives the elbow into the back of the head before ramming him into the buckle. Savage ducks a shot and nails Dibiase with an elbow before leaping over the top rope as he hotshots Dibiase on the top rope, and he returns to the ring and hits a high knee that sends Dibiase over the top to the floor. Savage goes up top only for Andre to stand in his way and Savage comes down as Dibiase regroups before returning to the ring, and Savage has Elizabeth come up to the apron and he whispers something to her before sending her to the back. Dibiase comes from behind and pounds on Savage in the corner before hitting a slam, and he drops a trio of fists on Savage for a two count before hitting a snapmare and hooking a submission on. Just then, Elizabeth comes back down with Hulk Hogan by her side and he takes a seat at ringside as Dibiase flips out, and Dibiase rams Savage into the buckle and pounds on him in the corner as Savage tries to battle back. Andre pulls at Savage from the outside only for Hogan to come around and nail Andre before returning to his corner, and Savage catches Dibiase with an elbow and pounds on him until Dibiase rakes the eyes and he hits a clothesline on Savage. He drops an elbow on Savage for a two count and then he hits a suplex on Savage for a two count, and then he hits a gutwrench suplex for a two count before hitting a slam. He goes up top only for Savage to grab him first and toss him to the mat as he quickly goes up top himself, but he misses the flying elbow and Dibiase hooks the Million Dollar Dream on. Savage grabs the rope only for Andre to swat it off which distracts the ref, and Hogan gets in the ring with the chair and he nails Dibiase in the back with it to break the hold. Savage gets to his feet before going up top and hitting the flying elbow on Dibiase which gets the three and we have a new champion. After the match, Hogan takes the title and hands it to Savage before grabbing the chair and keeping Dibiase and Andre out, and they celebrate in the ring as Savage gives the belt to Elizabeth and holds her up on his shoulder in an iconic moment.

The match itself was pretty good as both men worked hard for the 9 minutes they got and put on a solid match though it was a clear step down from their last match at SNME. In their defense, this match was considerably shorter than that one and it was clear that Savage was cooked after wrestling 3 tough matches earlier in the night while Dibiase had a fairly easy night since he only wrestled twice. The whole storyline of the tournament also led to this being a very long night of wrestling and the crowd was pretty gassed by the end of the night, but to their credit they tried to stay with it throughout the match. Even though Dibiase seemed primed to win the tournament and the title going into the show, this was still a great showcase for Savage as he wrestles four matches against four very different opponents and comes out like a major star. The ending was pretty interesting as Hogan gets the last laugh on Dibiase by costing him the title, but it did a bit forced seeing Hogan celebrate with Savage and Elizabeth as he probably should’ve left the stage to them since they deserved it. As mentioned, the crowd managed to stay into the match even after a long night and popped big for Savage when he won. Savage gets the win over Dibiase and is the surprising new WWF Champion after a long night, but this issue is not over yet.
