I'm just saying: tonight's finish was special, but it wasn't nearly as special as this.

(Side note: In 1988's Game 1, Jose Canseco hit a grand slam and Kirk Gibson hit a walk-off homer. As fun as today's game was, it's nice when MVPs do MVP things. Maybe we'll see some of that tomorrow.)

I have a few celebrity/athlete/wrestling, etc. that follow me, but this is probably the funniest one! 😂

Post-AGT Appearance 1295: George Davis KBXB 97.9 fm April 18

With Phillip out of a coma the matter of the last name on his sick list would again come to the fore. several baseball players have passed away recently and one of them: Whitey Herzog, would have been 80th on the first list of suspects, dropped to 81st in the first update, returned to 80th in the second update, sank a bit, rose to 80th again in 2017 and dropped out of the top 100 in 2020. Some people would be curious after his death. On Thursday morning I would be at my mother's house in Massachusetts, tending to her ailments when my agent would ask for a quote about Herzog. I would promptly reply and it would be released immediately on all websites. The first to quote me would be George Davis from radio station KBXB in Missouri. He hosts a classic country show from 10 am to 3 pm Monday through Friday. The station calls itself Freedom 97 and airs St. Louis Cardinals games. He would mention it just after 1 pm local time.

Davis: that was Missouri Misery, still a big hit around here. It's a little newer than most songs we play here, but it's by Phil Cole and we have an announcement about him. As you know he has a sick colleague named Phillip, who, I understand is feeling better since he heard that O. J. Simpson passed away last week. Well, he has a long list of folks who make him sick and some people around here have been wondering if Whitey Herzog, former coach of the Royals and Cardinals, might be the last mystery name on his list. Well, he just released a statement. I'll read it to you. It says:

PBC: No one on our team had any animosity against Whitey Herzog. Some of us were not so fond of Ken Holtzman though.

Davis: Well, that's all he says, but do you reckon it might be a baseball man on the list. It could be Pete Rose. Maybe it could be a Yankee. He's from Boston don't you know. Let's see: Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera maybe..or it could be one of them steroids guys, Canseco or Mark Maguire. Let's have some fun. You can call me or text me. Is there a baseball player who makes you just a little queasy in the stomach every time you hear his name.

Great commercial!

(I'd be curious to see how many members of the 30-30 club I could name---but when it comes to 40-40, I could recite "Canseco, Bonds, A-Rod, Soriano, Acuña, Ohtani" in my sleep!)
