Jesse Rogers you were currently sitting in your place drinking out of a mannies mug which is a

deli not far from where the white socks play but before we get started I might have

told a story out of school to the producers that you

were in Ferris Buellers Day off. Can you give us a short version of that story

for the listeners who don't know? I certainly can. The director writer John Hughes went to my high school so when he got

big and famous he would film a lot in the area that I grew up, which is outside of Chicago.

So he filmed a lot of that movie at my high school and he used a lot of kids as extras.

So I was in several scenes. Most prominently, when they are skipping

gym class to ironically go to a Cubs game, they reference missing that gym class.

Hey, damn it.

You realize if we play by the rules right now, we'd be in gym?

And they show a scene where the kids are running

and laboring as they're at the cup game and I'm one of those kids that's running.

I have a great limp.

I mean Clinton I should have gotten an academy just for the limb.

They sprayed me down to make me look like I was all sweaty and so yeah I was in three or four

scenes in Paris Buehler's Day up. Did not realize of course it would be kind of become an iconic movie. Major League.

Major League Baseball is a sport that celebrates its history through, among other things, its records.

So when you break a 60 year old mark, people take notice.

And when it's for the most losses in a season,

well, that's not the kind of attention

you ever won for your franchise.
