Hey, everybody, and welcome to episode number 253 of the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of

John Boy Media. And this is a treat for me because I used to root for the guy, and I'm still rooting

for him, even though he's in my beloved Cleveland Guardians Division. He, of course,

is the interim skipper of your Chicago White Sox. Greatie to be here. I am, uh, I will give you one guess where I am.

I can't tell. I'm sorry. Is that Ohio? Are you in, where are you at Columbus?

Seattle. Seattle? Oh, can't, yeah. It's green. Come on, man. Your hometown. I don't recognize it.

Well, it's gray outside. So is that it? I should have known.

Yeah, that's it.

So weren't you actually going to go to Washington and be the quarterback there if you hadn't been drafted by the expose?

That's right.

Yeah, I signed to go to University of Washington and play football and baseball there.

So you were going to do both?

Yeah, I asked him to play both.

All right. Since I never saw you throw football,

give me the scouting report on Grady Seismore, the quarterback coming out of high school.

Option left, option, right? Didn't throw it? We didn't throw much in high school. No, no. I was

a running back in high school. I played QB a few times, but I was primarily a running back,

and I played safety in corner. But they wanted me to play QB, so I was excited about it.

All right. So who was it that recruited you? I forget who the head coach was.

It was New Heisel then. Oh, my God, slick Rick was going to take you to...

How much fun would that have been?

Yeah, I would have been fun.
