" You don't get a chance to public at the city to welcome with this crazy interleague schedule a dusty was saying you have been here since 1996. Thoughts of coming back to Kansas City M and the new stadium."

" Well you know we before he's. Started this interview jaw made a comment I -- we came back here every year. And it and really I think you judge placed on where you stay -- we stay in the plaza district. Which is sensational. The people here -- wonderful. The ballpark. Is you know -- all the folks on the radio last night it's hard to describe how nice this park is. Until you actually come in and watch a ball game tied it for my money there's no negativity coming to Kansas City I was true color like next year -- the year after year after that. Note your work cut out every regular regular series sorry about interleague play it's legal for awhile now let's see instantly that. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not well I guess that a general sort of way I'm really not in favor of it because there's so many inequities involved. In who you play. And I I don't think that's fair when that you go into the last week of the season you may be in the race but. The team that you played plated -- scheduled to the one you played. And battled military is an answer for that if I had my way out or reduce the number games that are played the interleague I've put more emphasis on the so called quote on quote. Natural rivalries I mean this team here obviously has long with the Cardinals the reds have won with the Indians. And not play less interleague games I'd never do away with a because I do think it increases the attendance on average and as long as it does said Bud Selig is not going to allow this to go away."

" Run of course then you have that long god question that's been debated. DH -- agents focus frank Lloyd who played so many years in a league with the DH says she likes to sell baseball but the nationally I agree with him thoughts."

" That out. We're all in agreement yes that's a but not a big DH guy and I have never bin and I'm not a purist in every sense of the word there -- things about this game that I would change. But I think. We we need the National League play the game the way it was supposed to be played in I think if you talked to any manager especially guys who advantage in both leagues on a sparky Anderson used to say. He would played a nationally brand of baseball til the cows came home -- like the American League had a DH and I think a lot of managers feel that way. I'd love to think I'll still be around one day when the DH is gonna beliefs -- play in the game the way -- meant to be played."

" Final thought real quickly go for frequent -- got a couple of those here with yourself and Denny Matthews in Cooperstown -- Hall of -- Just talk a little bit about a big -- but also some of those great memories of your crew you can shoot some pretty impressive home runs."

" Well I did its job that fortunate because coming to Cincinnati and in winning being a part of a world championship team is 7576. With a big red machine all those great players and and then again in 1990. And being on a 50000. Watt clear channel radio station like WLW radio when I went in in nineteen end at 2000. You know I'm not going to pat myself on the back for being and wonderful as a broadcaster. I think it's it's a team's pitcher associated with. The players you're associated with and the signal that goes out every night when you're on the radio there and I've been blessed and all of those categories and you know people they asked me did you think he'd be in the broadcasters wing of the Hall of Fame when you started in my answer is no because he was no sets the thing when I started. They came along at 78 or 78 I would now allow her red barber -- in. You know it's a great thing. Jack buck called me right god rest his soul when I when I got the call. And he said is going to be more important to your kids and your kids kids in your kids kids kids down the road I said -- a big long after your goal on. Every time some references made to youth it'll have hall of Famer in front. I don't daddy will experience the same thing it it's a great thing and I think you reach a pinnacle of your profession when you have that opportunity and go win welcome to with a great work it's good that intense -- hard to get to see -- good to see you Joe."
