All right, Chuck Garfin here at the Baseball Hall of Fame, where Jim Tome has been inducted

into Cooperstown.

And coming up here on the podcast, you're going to hear the best moments from his speech.

It was a good one.

And before I get to that and a few other things that are coming up on the podcast, just a quick thought about Jim Tomey.

You know, in this current age of baseball, you hear a lot about Sabre metrics and what it takes to be a great player.

It's all data-driven. But one thing that Jim

Tommy has and had that you can't really compute and you can't really have a stat for is heart.

A lot of heart inside that man. And it showed in his speech and certainly in his career. And that's why so many people in so many

cities all over the country, every team he played for, love this man and to respect what he

gave to the game of baseball. So congrats to him getting into the Hall of Fame. So coming up on

the podcast, I speak with Jim Tomey's dad, who got a little emotional at times in my interview with him,

and he's going to explain what made Jim the player that he was.

I talked to Paul Canerco, who came all the way from Arizona with his son to be here,

and he'll explain why he feels like in a way he's going in the Hall of Fame

with Jim. I'll also tell a Ken Burns story. I've got to tell the Ken Burns story. He's all

about baseball and Americana, and I experienced Ken Burns Americana while I was here in Cooperstown. And don't forget, we've got the live

remote podcast with Rick Hahn this Thursday, August 2nd at Reggie's Bar in the South Loop. Doors

open at 6 p.m. The podcast is at 7, although we might start a little earlier than that. Admission
