All right, Chuck Arfine here, 50, 60 yards away from the stage

where Jim Tomey will be making his Hall of Fame induction speech on Sunday.

And here on the podcast, you're going to hear from Jim Tomey,

as well as Jerry Reinsdorf and

Kenny William was that a chance to speak with all three of them who are here in Cooperstown

for the festivities. And before we get to those interviews, I just want to say something about Jim.

If you could make a baseball team in a factory, if I could make a baseball team in a factory, if this was possible,

one of the players I would want coming off the assembly line would be Jim Tomey. Now, he's not a perfect

player. He did strike out over 2,500 times, but he hit for power, 612 home runs. He was clutch.

One of the most clutched players in the history of this game, 13 walk-off home runs, the most in Major League history. He respected the game and he's also one of the best teammates around. His mission, besides being a great player himself, was to make everyone around him great and there are very few players

with him the best and that's those are just some of the reasons why jim tommy is so special so coming

up here on the podcast i speak with jim he is a busy guy. He's being run all over the place from here to there to there to here in Cooperstown leading up to his induction speech. But he carved out about five minutes of his time to speak with me. That's coming up. Also, my interview with Jerry Reinsdorf, who gives a very interesting comp for Tommy.

Who does he remind him of in sports history?

He'll give you that as well as an amazing story from Reinsdorf about what happened,

or I should say what Reinsdorf almost did right before Jim Toomey hit his 500th home run.

Kenny Williams is going to talk about the nickname him and Jerry have or had for Jim. And I bring this up to Jim. Jim would not fess up about this, by the way,

on camera, as you're going to hear. This nickname is incredible. And I know Jim knows about it,

but he didn't want to say it on camera. So you're going to see this develop in the podcast also Kenny with some very inside info about the trade
