Frederik Andersen speaks on Claude Lemieux reaching out to him before he accepted the opportunity to carry the torch for the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Final.
George Brett shares an epic story about how he once shit himself while in Vegas. Best part as to be how the dude is walking away at the end but he keeps following to finish the story
Also the fact he ends with "true story" to a story that's so elaborate and embarrassing that no one person would ever just make that up on that spot, as if they thought he was just making this whole scenario up. Made me laugh.
"The Tigers have just finished their season and I’ve just finished my baseball broadcasting career, and it’s time to say good-by, but I think good-byes are sad and I’d much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.
I’m not leaving folks, I’ll still be with you, living my life in Michigan, my home state, surrounded by family and friends.
And rather than good-bye, please allow me to say thank you. Thank you for letting me be part of your family.
Thank you for taking me with you to that cottage up north, to the beach, the picnic, your workplace, and your back yard.
Thank you for sneaking your transistor under your pillow as you grew up loving the Tigers.
Now I might have been a small part of your life, but you’ve been a very large part of mine. And it’s my privilege and honor to share with you the greatest game of all.
Now God has a new adventure for me and I’m ready to move on. So I leave you with a deep sense of appreciation for your longtime loyalty and support.
I thank you very much, and God bless all of you."
The closing words of Ernie Harwell`s final game, after broadcasting major league baseball for 55 seasons, the last 42 with Detroit.
