0 (0s): All right. Hey, besides hitting a walk off into the second in Philly, when is it okay to admire a home run? When you know, it's a bomb, like I like, look, it can't be, it can't be a fence scraper. I am all about. I am all about the bat. Flip the celebrate. I love it. I love emotion. 1 (25s): All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to WST. We have a second time guest. I don't even know if we need to introduce them, but for those who don't know him, Bellarmine hall of fame, that San Jose bellman, not up in Tacoma where Big Ben is. 0 (43s): That's your and Lester school. 1 (45s): San Jose state hall of fame, nine years in the big giant. And that Billy's, I could go on and on. Now the color analyst, color radio analyst for the Phillies, Kevin friends, and welcome to the show. 0 (1m 3s): What's up, boys. We doing good tonight. We're doing great. Or this mean being on the west coast for you guys, it's still light out. Still light out. Yeah, no, it's it's what have we got today? It was mix of overcast and sunny. Beautiful sunset going right now here in, in south Jersey. Weirdest weather, this like seriously, June, it started off at 90 with like 90% humidity. Yesterday was like a high of 70. 0 (1m 43s): Wow. That's that's cold here in the summer. Let alone, I mean, let's go and we don't need the ups and downs. Like if you're just going to give me, don't give me the tease of the humidity in the, in the heat. Just I know easing into it, just do it and just go, write in, jump right into it. 1 (2m 1s): All right. So we have this thing called WST first, where we talk about major league players. First time they experienced various things, we put our intern to work and we're going to have a little fun today. So I hope you're ready. I know Kevin, we so Baptist. We're starting it off. We go back to Masaki days, east side west. Ooh, those days. So this is my man here. We're about to go in. No filter, no limits today. Let's go Big Ben. 0 (2m 35s): All right. Yeah. And before we start, we mentioned Bellarmine college prep in San Jose. Now that my friend is how you say it. Thank you so much for saying that it is a college preparatory. Alright, so there it's produced 28 professional baseball players. Now, I don't know. Technically you are a pro once you entered the minor league level, I believe it's how they classify it. Yep. So where do you rank amongst all those baseball? Out of 28? Probably like 14, you know? I don't know. 0 (3m 15s): Like, I don't even know, like, cause you got, I mean Burl and like shoes. We can just go on like, cause Cana, mark Hannah in Eric fames have taken over, you know, they're still not at pat Berle's level. So I mean, that's a tough one. Yeah. I would say about 14 and probably, I don't know. I don't really care two that, you know, I'm just trying to think. Justin Bachman was there edgy of Enola. They all made it. So maybe I'm better than them at that point in time when I played in my career. But is it really that big of a deal? You know, that's, here's why I say it. 0 (3
