morosi is really cool uh fox sports john is on and the melb network does a great job podcast

part of the melb network channel and collaboration with Sirius XM, where he talks about Hall of Famers and talks to Hall of Famers. And chat with Wade Boggs, obviously the legendary Red Sock, legendary Yankee. Boggs tells the story of how he came to sign with the Yankees during George Steinbrenner's suspension years. Mrs. Yawockey was still alive. She says, Wade, I want you to be a Red Sock player for life. The beginning of January, she slips and falls into tub and dies. I go to spring training in 92. They take the offer off the table. First team to call with the Dodgers. The next morning, the Yankees call. We sit down, have a conversation. Joe Malloy goes, would three years of 11 million put you in pinstripes?

I said, I think you got a new player that's going to put pinstripes on. And there's a gentleman sitting at the table over here reading a newspaper. And a newspaper comes down and it's George and he winks at me. And he was listening to the whole conversation.

There you have it.

I love that story.

I love getting those backstories, and John joins us now.

Hey, John, Mark Malusus is with you.

Thanks for the time this afternoon.

Moose, I am outstanding.

And I smile every time I hear Wade's story because I did not know that, obviously. And so to know that George Steinbrenner,

as if it's a movie scene, is sitting at the next table and then the newspaper comes down,

one of my favorite stories that I've heard while doing the Road to Cooperstown podcast.

Yeah, it's great. And John, listen, I love the back stories. First off, you appreciate the

players for their greatness and what they were able to accomplish, but everything that goes along

with it, whether it be the big games, Boggs leaving in free agencies, signing with the Yankees,

obviously the Yankee Red Sock Robbery. I love this series on the podcast because not only

you learn a little something, but you hear
