| 0:00.0 | That guy is one of the best ever with a uniform. |
| 0:02.7 | And the way it was on the field and off the field. I have a son back in the 80s. Growing up playing baseball, say, that's the guy you've got to look for. That's the guy and God has told you how to play baseball. Not fancy guy, God about his business, great hitter, tremendous speed. He did everything Major League Baseball asked you to do it did it to me you |
| 0:22.6 | know me when you talk about him talking about Santos talking about him you talk about |
| 0:25.9 | Bernie banks Billy Williams you talk about this guy name he's got to be it got to be |
| 0:31.4 | out there you talk about big league players you look at that he's it going to tie the |
| 0:35.1 | game he just run the basis like nothing happened you know what he was he was class that's the most it could do to the fest look at that he's going to tie the game he just run the base or like nothing happened you know what he |
| 0:37.5 | was he was class that's the most it could have to the fest look at that yeah respect the game |
| 0:41.9 | there's actually been a lot of love flowing from south to north after the passing of rhino |
| 0:50.7 | Ozzie speaking so beautifully about him big Big Frank, with a gorgeous story about those two guys sharing a trip to Cooperstown. Yeah, Tanny, speak on that, would you? That's your guy, Big Frank, and to see him tweet that. Yeah, Frank is like my rhino, I grew up, like, you know, because I wasn't quite old enough to experience the entirety of Rino's Cubs career, but certainly knew the impact. |
| 1:11.8 | Like, you know, growing up in the era Lawrence is talking about where it's like you go to grade school book fairs and it's like you got the Ryan Sandberg poster there. |
| 1:19.0 | You know what I mean? |
| 1:19.6 | And like I just saw a great photo from the Sox photographer who took like the Ryan Sandberg. |
| 1:24.8 | You guys remember the score baseball card where it's like the point of view of looking up at Rhino with the clouds. It's a great shot. I had no idea that the Sox photographer shot that.

| 2:05.1 | of them sharing stories and, you know, guys that we're not necessarily in the same era in a lot |
