Wow...so there is someone out there who's never heard that Managers Corner clip before.
To the best of my knowledge, this is correct. The most likely explanation (IMO) is that one of the on-air people (likely Kay, who was on break) put his earpiece down near a microphone.
The Weaver rant was a pre-planned joke, right? I'd always assumed that the the host was in on it.
Um, enjoy
What was the explanation for it again? It didn't actually air, did it?
It was recorded on a day when the Orioles game was certain to be rained out, so there was no chance of it being aired and they played it for laughs.
My grandfather says "Cincinnata" and "Missoura" too; his father was from Cincinnati and he grew up in Missouri. I have always wondered where that came from, because it seems like some sort of regional thing of the past.
My favorite was from the celebration following the Red Sox Game 7 win over the Yankees in '04, when Fox had cameras in the middle of the scrum and the entire nation heard Doug Mientkiewicz say, as he hugged David Ortiz, "I'm so ####### proud of you man!"
I was going to answer Moe Berg, but he once had 352. Jerry Hairston Sr. had 14.
Tom Prince: 17 seasons, career-high 196 AB.
These guys are really rare. Most career back-ups who stretch out a career this long usually manage to be a part-time starter for at least one season.
Kurt Bevacqua: 15 years, twice over 250 AB's but never over 300 AB
Dave Hansen: 15 seasons, once over 250 AB (but by a lot; he had 350 AB as the regular 3B for the Dodgers)
Lenny Harris seemed like an obvious candidate, but he had a number of seasons as a quasi-regular early in his career.
Dr. Hibbert is actually a robot.
Maybe the pause was him killing his mike so no one could hear him laughing.
My roots are from Cincy; a couple of my great uncles in IN said Cincinnat-ah but I never heard a Cincinnatian say it that way. But that was a long time ago.
My first thought was Tom Prince -- already mentioned.
Then Charlie O'Brien. 15 years, only once over 225 AB. That was in 1996, apparently after they were deserted by Pat Borders, the Blue Jays split up the playing time between him and Sandy Martinez.
Todd Pratt - 14 seasons, 1612 AB. Never more than 175!
Mark Parent - 13 seasons, 1303 AB. Only got more than 200 AB once, when the Pirates were desperate for a catcher in the wake of Don Slaught's rapid decline.
Tom Lampkin - 13 seasons, 1796 AB. Only got more than 229 AB once. In his last season, oddly enough. Boy, the Padres were really desperate for a catcher during the Wiki Gonzalez era, giving both Lampkin and Gary Bennett their only shots as "starters" at catcher.
He doesnt quite qualify, but Orlando Palmeiro has had an interesting career: over 1200 games but less than 2400 Ab's. That probably doesnt happen much to position players.
Can't find one with 15 seasons and never more than 250, though. Why does the Play Index not allow you to search for players by career length? (# of seasons)
Maybe I shouldn't be thinking exclusively of catchers.
Minnie Minoso 1964-1980 with no more than 38.
Yeah, but he's a pitcher.
Welcome to Western PA, home of North Versailles ("ver-SAILS").
Um, people, the question was answered. See #19.
Why does the Play Index not allow you to search for players by career length? (# of seasons)
It does
The Missouri valley has a few like that: Cairo, IL becomes "Kay-ro". Lebanon, MO becomes "Lebnin". Nevada, MO becomes "Nev-AY-dah".
In Southern Indiana, the town with that pronunciation sits just a few miles from Milan (My-lun).
Having lived there for several years, I'd say about the only time you hear that is when somebody is running for office.
Also Ber-wyn but that's another conversation.
Um, people, the question was answered. See #19.
the question was "How many players", not "Name a player".
Are you saying Terry Crowley and Tom Prince are the only players ever to do that? Seems unlikely.
(also, check out Jim Dwyer. 18 seasons. Never more than 260 at-bats in a season. So close, once again.
Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about, but I am from the west coast. Where exactly on the west coast does this happen?
Don Pavletich had 12 seasons.
Mark Sweeney is another close one - 14 seasons, but once had 259 AB.
South Dakotans pronounce the name of their own capital city "PEER". I don't think that can be topped.
There is no rhyme or reason to explain the local pronunciations of certain Mississippi towns. You just learn to go with the flow.
