Operator Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls eight seven to seven three DP show Seaton Poll question from hour one and what are we going to go with an hour two?
We have up there?
Are the Cowboys a Super Bowl contender? Your options were absolutely? Kind of but not really or lol? No right now one of those options has seventy six percent of a vote. Lol no, correct, that's right. Most people say absolutely not. I like when this audience gets the assignment.
Well, whether they believe it or not.
They don't want to believe that Dallas is a Super Bowl contender.
That's one of those.
Yeah, I'm wondering if that's actually Cowboys fans voting or everyone else voting for that option.
I'm not really sure.
Now, well, Dallas Beach, New York twenty to fifteen, and of course the points spread was five and a half. Here's Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys head coach, after the win.
I just think really as a whole you know, as a just the whole team. I mean, that's really the first four quarter game we've played. I mean, we're you know, it was a complimentary football game, you know, I you know, I wish we would have been able to drive the ball more offensively. I just felt like we left our defense out there a bit much, you know, that dead long swing right before the half, and then you know, they came right back here in the first driver in the third quarter, so I hang out. I thought that was very challenging for our defense and for them to continue to fight. But I think the biggest thing was, you know, we were able to you know, frankly, I feel next the first game I called, you know, for four quarters.
Okay, congratulations Cowboys. Next games Steelers, Lions, than a bye, Niners, Falcons, Eagles, Texans.
All right, so can you.
Go three and three, four and two over that stretch? So you got they just about everybody is a playoff team or has been a playoff team. Steelers, Lions, Niners, Falcons, Eagles, Texans. All right, Mike, tell us a whole lot about the Cowboys.
Yes, Marvin, and this is the this is the worst year to have no running game, because throughout the first three weeks everyone's had a big running game and this isn't good for the Cowboys.
Yeah, and people have had a really good running game against the Cowboys too, So it's a bad, bad year to not be able to run and a bad year to not be able to stop the run, but the Cowboys get the win twenty to fifteen. The White Sox hold off history. They sweep the Angels. So the final weekend of the regular season coming up, the A's are done in Oakland, and I don't know if people took seats. I didn't see that story. I thought if you bought a ticket, that you should be able to take your seat with you. I thought that would have been a nice parting gift. But I I don't know what they did with the Oakland Coliseum on the way out. Yes, yeah, I think people were definitely grabbing seats.
Okay, for sure, sure, I do like uh like Ricky Henderson, never missing a chance to be Ricky Henderson. They asked him what he thought of the A's leaving, and he said, I have too much money to be said, all right, that's.
Just Ricky b Ricky. He never misses.
He never every even when you don't see it coming, You're like, God, that's exactly what Ricky Henderson would say.
That's exactly what he would say.
There's so many Ricky Henderson's stories, they're just are I guess he didn't cash as signing bonus when he first got into baseball. He framed the check and then somebody said, hey, when are you going to you know, bookkeeping was like, when are you going to cash that check? And he had it framed. He didn't didn't know that that was the check he was supposed to cash. It's just for show. And then he got on the team bus. I don't know who he was with, and uh he went all the way to the back of the team bus and I think the manager said, Ricky, you got tenure.
You can sit wherever you want to go. Ten year, I got twenty years. That dude is the best man.
What a character, What a character.
That just feels like he was a documentary. Maybe they missed the point. Maybe you know, when they could have done a documentary on Ricky b Ricky. Harold Reynolds would talk about Ricky Henderson. He would talk to himself at the plate where he'd be like, all right, Ricky, all right, Ricky, Ricky's looking for fastball, and then it'd be a breaking bell. All right, all right, all right, all right, Ricky. Now you know, so the hole at bad he's you know, talking to himself and then this is relayed to Harold Reynolds of MLB Network from the catcher, Ricky strikes out, and Ricky goes, Ricky gonna get him next time and walks to him a dugout.
Yes, Martvin, I don't think Ricky brought up in the conversation of coolest MLB player ever or coolest athlete ever. He used to pop his collar when he would hit home run. He was on like the little hop. Yes, everything, the uniform looked perfect, the white cleats, number twenty four. I mean the snatch when he would grab a fly, Yes, snatch it right.
Yeah, you're right.
And he's up there of greatest living baseball player. I mean he's he probably not included, you know, with Bonds and Griffy now Showhy, but Ricky b Ricky. H I missed those days of the disruptor. You got on first and all of a sudden, that picture was melting down because Ricky was going to steal second, and chances are steal third, and you'd have a dribbler to short and Ricky was going to score and all he did was get a walk to get on first base.
I missed that.
It was such a big part of baseball when I was growing up, everybody had to have that guy if it was Vince Coleman or lou Brock Wills. Oh my god, he got on first and you could just see the pitcher. He'd be like, not worried about the hitter.
He's got one eye.
Yes, yes, Mary has a random baseball question. So was don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, and Ricky Henderson all on the Yankees at one time?
Yeah?
How come they weren't phenomenal?
I think so.
I think they were all there at the same time.
Were they?
This had to be at the end of Donnie's career. I'm thinking I know maddingly was in a batting title race with Dave Winfield, but I don't think Winfield was on the Yankees at the time.
Check that if you can be five ish.
Yeah, hey, Ricky still would have been in Oakland.
Yeah.
Uh, Kevin in Africa joining us? Hi, Kevin man, what's up?
Brother?
Or as we saying Swahili mambo vpi kaka happy Friday, you're in East Africa?
Well, thank you, Kevin.
Hey, I just want to touch on d Rose, his retirement, Dan and what he meant to Chicagoans. Obviously we're spoiled by MJ. But remember we then had to sit through the Baby Bulls with Eddie Curry, the Tim Floyd era. Yeah, accident, d Rose comes along. He's a homegrown kid, incredibly humble. Opposing players are on record as having said other guards would get the flu when they were playing the Bulls to avoid d Rose. Even after the injuries, he stayed productive. Remember that emotional fifty piece in Minnesota a few years ago. I just think we got to put some respect on his name, Dan and I wonder if you think he's got a chance at the Hall of Fame.
Well, you know what I brought this up, Kevin. I didn't think that he was going to go into the Hall of Fame, but then Marvin brought up that every MVP in NBA history has gone into the Hall of Fame. The college situation at Memphis, and then are you supposed to forget about those numbers or wipe them away that they didn't exist. It felt like he needed a few more seasons playing at that high end. And then I think because he played longer, didn't play it at a high level, maybe kind of watered down the rest of his career. But I mean, he was impactful and I did have a former a general manager reached out to me yesterday who was listening and goes, Derek. He leaves a message because I didn't recognize the number. He goes, He's a Hall of Famer. Call me back, and I'm like, uh, okay, he's a Hall of Famer. That's all he said. Hall of famer called me back. I'm like, all right. So I had a little conversation and I'm like, okay, I gave my I don't you put him in the Hall of Fame.
I don't care.
I'm just telling Marvin said, do you think he's a Hall of Famer? And I go, no, I think he's He had Hall of Fame moments an MVP.
He was unbelievable at a young age. But I just I.
Think the injuries kind of took him down, maybe out of the Hall of Fame.
Yes, Marv, yeah, because I was only saying he's getting in because the Basketball Hall of Fame, the standards are much lower. Trust me, there's it's kind of the Hall of very good. No knock to anybody that's in, but it's not baseball or you know, Tommy John's got two hundred and eighty eight wins, he would have been and if they had the same standards in basketball as they do baseball.
So that's all I was saying.
Tommy John was on Michael Kaye's radio show and Michael asked him why he's not already in the Hall of Fame. Tommy John, he said, I don't know. Maybe because I announced that I voted for Donald Trump, and I go, oh, I mean what about all the other years when like, who did you vote for before that, like Mussolini or I mean Stalin, Like I didn't understand that that. Hey, we're not going to put him in. Why voted for Trump seems a little heavy handed.
I think a few years from now, about ten, fifteen, twenty years from now, he's going to vote away.
I don't like, just have been having some fun. Yeah, yeah, I don't know about that, Tommy John. Guy, it looks like he could vote the other party, if you know what I mean.
Like, what's his stints on Texas? That's really What does he think of immigration? How does he feel about the border. Where does he stand on Texas?
Yes, he was trying to prevent things from going over a wall. Little picture, thank you, all right? Yeah, no, little political humor there.
Yes, all right.
So nineteen eighty five Yankees. Don Mattingly, Willie Randolph, an older, Ken Griffy Senior, Ricky Henderson, and Dave Winfield all on the eighty five Yankees. But they were actually really good. They were hold on. They were ninety seven and sixty four, but they finished second in the Al East. So back in those days, they didn't have five wild cards.
I think they did.
I think those three guys they did, like I don't know, two or three, maybe four years with.
The Yankee Doug in North Carolina, Good morning, Doug, what's on your mind?
Well, first, Marvin, if you look at that team in the eighty five Yankees, I think Ricky went m I A for like a week.
He just went.
He just disappeared for a while.
That's right, That's right. What am I talking about? I was there with those Yankees. Fully almost said, holy holy leap, oh my god.
I won and suggest a snarky hour two poll question. This is based on yesterday's show. You talked about a pick a Ball movie coming out, and later you debated where the Bowling Hall of Fame is. My question is of the two, which one requires the most athletic ability a pickle ball or bowling. My vote because I took it as a course in college. My vote goes for bowling. If you see somebody who knows how to actually pick up splits and curve the ball, that's that's the talent I'm never going to have. I think I can play pickle bowl.
Ok, thank you, Doug. I do walk by. There's a pickleball court. I walk by, and I just I kind of want to see who's playing and how competitive it is, because the one time I did play, when we were on vacation, we're at this this health spa that my wife goes, let's go.
And it, you know, we can take pilates and yoga and have great food and just relax.
And I said, okay, And she's saying it in a voice that you would hear if you were in a spa, and it would be well, just have a relaxing time and it'll be great and no alcohol, by the way, And I go, what, what, How.
Can I have fun?
Hun And that's when we walked by a pickleball court and the two women from Greenwich, Connecticut, we're on the other side. They had played many times. We had never played. My wife says, let's play. Don't get competitive. We're on vacation. And then all of a sudd and they got competitive and good time. Danny all of a sudden changed. He left him in the parking lot.
Huh.
That's when I started to fire shots back into the kitchen there and yeah, hey, gladys, there's more of that.
Oh my wife was She was so appalled.
She was like, oh my god, stop it. I said, Hun, I'm not I'm going to teach them a lesson.
She goes, oh my god, I'm going to teach them a lesson.
And I did. And then they didn't even come to the net to shake our hands. So last I look, teen Patrick one ladies from Greenwich, Connecticut.
Zero one, big zero. How about we take a break.
How did you feel after that? Dub I felt? How was the ride home after such a massive victory?
Oh no, no, we're on the on the grounds there for the spot.
Well, how was the walk home?
Very?
Hey?
You know why did you go get a massage and chill out a little bit?
All right?
No, no it was she said. I booked you a seaweed something where they wrap you in seaweed.
Oh, delightful.
Yeah, and I think she wanted the seaweed over my mouth as well. But she was just like, as we're walking back to our cabin, she's not saying anything, and I'm I'm I'm trying to engage. I'm going man, I had some good shots, man, I did you know what?
She didn't have a good backhand. And then my wife finally we got there.
And she goes, are you done? I said yes, and she goes, Okay, don't do that again. I said, okay, so I'm not going to play pickleball again. I'm gonna honor my wife's Mark Sanchez said, to join us. We'll get to more phone calls as well. We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Yeah, we got up there right now.
A Dallas Cowboys poll question, Okay, are the Cowboys as Super Bowl contender? Your options are absolutely, kind of but not really or lool no right now lol No has jumped up to seventy seven percent of that vote. People who think that the Cowboys are absolutely a super Bowl contender. That is one point three percent of the audience.
Springing Mark Sanchez, Fox NFL analyst. He's in Chicago. He is getting ready for the Rams and the Bears on Fox on Sunday at one eastern. How would you answer the poll question about the Cowboys being Super Bowl contenders?
I think it's way too early to tell. I think, gosh, we they didn't play well last night, as most of these teams tend to do on Thursday. It's a short week. Heem looked great, but they found a way to get an ugly win. But I need to back up a second. Dan I'm sorry. Fritzie gets me on the show. It says come hang out, and he's a no show. You're down to the Danette, Yeah, what's going on? Well, you're like the Rams, You're like the Rams.
No Cooper co I wouldn't put him in that category.
I think it's kind of like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. I'm not sure what I have or I don't have. So those are those are my two guys that are missing in action. But they're visiting family, so they have legitimate excuses. They happen to do it on the same day, all right. So I'm just curious about the Cowboys as they move forward. I know we focus on them, yeah too much. But you have cd LAM and you have DAK. They don't have a running game. They're not very good at stopping the run. Their secondary continues to get banged up. And I'm looking at the schedule the next six games they have, and they're playing against six playoff contenders.
I think because they have the talent on offense, the score points, it's an offensive league, they're always going to be competitive. I think what really hurt them, not necessarily last night, but last Sunday. If you go back and watch that Ravens game, they were so far out of the game and then they started chasing points. It was like a fourth and fourteen or something, and they went for it when they were in field goal range. They got a field goal kicker who's elite. I mean, this dude can knock it from the locker room and make it so you crossed the fifty and you're already thinking alert. We got three points potentially in the back. So that's going to keep them competitive. Plus, as you mentioned, the Cowboys are always in the Super Bowl Hunt unless they're like, oh and fifteen, they're always you know somebody we're going to talk about. That's just who they are now. So the biggest thing in this league, and we've talked about this before, but these are one score games. One score games in the fourth quarter, and if you can keep it there, more games are lost and give it away by the other team or mismanage clock, timeouts, you know, time management stuff. Then they're actually one you know what I mean. Sometimes you got to go down and v s Antonio Holmes in the back of the end zone super Bowl and go win the game. When that happens, everybody's just firing on all cylinders. You know, you're kind of throwing caution to the win and you're just throwing the ball all over the yard. That's fine, it's desperation. You're trying to win. But these other games, for the most part, you got to just keep it close. And because they have the offensive firepower, I think they really can go deep. It's just you're gonna need some help on first down. You're gonna need some help with that run game. Don't put Dak in third and ten. You know, drive after drive series after series, and.
I don't know if you know the sample size of the first three weeks. Team are running the football, Oh, no doubt. And I don't know. I mean, you've got a game with the Rams and the Bears, and I don't know if you know who's winning is going to be predicated on running the football. But we're starting to see and feels like, you know what, the safeties are playing so deep. I mean they did this homes it.
That was the year. Remember for seven weeks we're like, oh that was it. Patrick flamed out. He's no good anymore. You can't dink and dunk. Well he figured that out pretty quick, you know what I mean. So you're one hundred percent right. And if I can just go in that vein, you have to tailor your system. You're off in the old days. Let's go quickly. I'd hand you a playbook. It's this thick Hey, run my system, and I'm gonna get the best players I can to run that system. Now, these systems, you want guys together over a long period of time, because that original playbook is going to evolve over time. It's gonna grow, it's gonna change, it's gonna experience things and change with the players. A core group of players that you try and keep together that can run certain things really well, and then you get counters off of stuff, then you get you know, the sizzle plays whatever. Well. These guys in Los Angeles, Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford are in lockstep. It is incredible to watch them play. He understands the play caller's purpose as soon as it comes in the headset, and he's already anticipating what's coming next. They're so good together. They for the first time since mcvey's been there, since twenty seventeen. Whatever it is, ran twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, two wide receivers. Why Cooper's gone and Pooka's gone. Those guys are such They're straight up gangsters. In the run game. They basically act like tight end so they can run eleven, which is a three wide receiver set, one back, one tight end. They've been used to running eleven sets or eleven personnel sets and letting those guys go in, dig out, linebackers safe whatever. They didn't have that anymore. You can't do that with two two out. Well, that's not he's out of his weight class. Trying to do that. So what do we do keep those guys spread out? Bringing Hunter Long, a journeyman tight end from Boston College who is in Miami first now here finally healthy, gets some blocking, and Kolbe Parkinson, a guy who knows their system from Shane Waldron and the Seattle Seahawks. They ran almost exclusively twelve last week and won a game for the first time that they've ever done that. So what I mean by these playbooks evolving, that's a perfect example of tailoring your system to what you have and hanging around to the fourth quarter. The week before in Arizona, the Rams got embarrassed, just flat out embarrassed. They had run eleven ten offensive plays and they were down twenty one points. Thing was just a runaway train and they were left at the station chilling. The next week, the Niners go fourteen to nothing. They had only run three offensive plays. I called both games back to back, and I'm literally looking at Adam and Meme, my partner. I go, oh boy, here we go again. And then they make one special teams play. They score right before halftime. They get the ball out of the half like it just started to turn so fast, and you could tell they learned the lesson from the week before. Not that they're perfect, but they learned the lesson from the week before. Don't let this thing get away from us, hang around till the end, and with somebody like Matt Stafford, Dak Prescott back to your Cowboys question, You're gonna have a chance, but you gotta keep it close early and these early games, these early games that the Chiefs seem to win that the really good teams later in the year like, oh, they got home field advantage again. This is where you win home field advantage the first five six weeks of the season, bottom line, that's where that's where it happens. How do you do that? You stay close, keep it close, keep it a one score game till the fourth quarter, and then take your shot.
Talking to Mark Sanchez, he's in Chicago preparing to call the Rams Bears. That'll be kick off one Eastern. Do you have your hair in a bun?
I do?
Turn around? So we said I look like they got when I parted like real hard. Kay Adams the other day said I look like Colon Crisp. Remember kindergarten cop, the bad guy just crushed me.
Well, congratulations, you could wear your hair in a bun.
Thanks man. Yeah, I was going for more of it, like an Antonio bandette.
Oh Okay, it didn't really work.
It didn't really work out. Talk about your all time backfires.
If I'm a Bears fan and I'm seeing Caleb Williams, Yeah, what kind of feeling should I have so far with what you've seen of him?
Listen, it's a work in progress. The first thing I said his very first game in the league is patience, and nobody seems to have that regardless of what we're talking about in the world. I don't care if it's politics, sports finance, like, it doesn't matter. Everybody wants it and they want instant grits. That's not the way you develop a quarterback. That's not the way this league works. So are there a couple quick fixes that can really help him out? Absolutely? I think they can help him on first down running the ball. We talked about teams running the ball. They're not running the ball well. Bottom line, I think DeAndre Swift is a great complimentary back. I think he's he can be the guy who comes in and gives you more of a spark. But Khalil Herbert and Roshawan Johnson have to be their main powerbacks. They love to run this outside zone because it's a Shane Waldron system. And if you can run outside zone, you have athletic enough tackles and guards that can move and get on the move quickly. So you can't tell me these guys can't hold up in the past game. They should be able to slide and move, which they like to do in their protections all the time. The problem is they have more pre snap penalties then. I mean, just about anybody I've seen, there's you know, first and fifteen. I want to see first and fifteen. If I see first and fifteen once in four games, that's too many times, you know what I mean As a coordinator, and I'm being critical obviously, but you put your your rookie quarterback behind the eight ball like that to start off drives. It's just like a pitcher going, uh, you know, three to zero. I mean, what do you think they expect on third and fifteen, and then because he's so competitive, because he's so talented, on third and fifteen backed up in his own area, Yeah, I can make this throw. And dude, if anybody knows what the guy's going through. It's your boy in a bun here, are you kidding me? I've done the exact same thing thirty times, like easily thirty times, and I got it. I can make it. I can make dude dump it to the back. Cut bait. Move on with your life. Your job is to put the ball in play and put it on the defense. Make them tackle. Just see what happens. Even like, think about this. He's had five turnovers in the last two games. Okay, they've lost both of those games. The first game he had no turnovers, did not play well, but they won the game. If you don't give it away. Once again, more games are given away than they are one. If you don't give it away, Caleb, your boys are going to be in a chance. You're gonna have a chance to win this thing. And they kept it a six point game for the bulk of the game against Houston two weeks ago. We're in it to win it, baby. They had a chance and they couldn't get anything going on offense. Okay, then give it away. Just don't give it to him. Let your guys at least have a chance. And I think that's what they're still working through. Caleb's still working through some of that, and I think they have. They're in a difficult position because he is so talented and so good. You don't want to take it away from him. You want him to develop, you want him to understand the game, but you also don't need him to be superman all the time. And he's still, you know, battling with that. He's wrestling with when it's time to turn it on, when it's time to make the throw, and when it's time to just hang back, distribute and see what happened.
Is it fair as we move forward that Caleb is always going to be compared to Jaden Daniels and vice versa.
Well, of course, And I mean as soon as one one one player type, like you know, rookie quarterback, and you're going to compare the guy's new system, you know, franchise it's been struggling. Oh it's the same thing. Well, it's not totally the same thing. The thing that's different about Jaden Well, one, you know, I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. He had an incredible game last week National TV against a a Cincinnati defense. It's not playing very well, so okay, call what you want. He got out of trouble a lot with his legs. The dude has elite speed. We watched him at LSU pull away from really fast defenders and just take off for seventy yards. So that I mean, that's a little something. That's something that Caleb doesn't quite have. He doesn't have that like Jayden has like a step on him that way, if that makes sense. So he's gonna get out of some trouble. And that's where Caleb might make one of those throws that goes the other way, the old boomerang ball, right, you throw it one way and there goes back the other way. So for Jaden, listen, I don't want to anoint the guy too early, and I don't want to say he didn't play well. He did play well, but is that going to be your sustainable way to play? He's got a rush for one hundred yards like every week. That's really really hard to do. So yes, Unfortunately, he will be compared to those guys just like me and Matt Stafford were in two thousand and nine. Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan rookie quarterbacks in two thousand and eight make the playoffs. Me and Matt Stafford were like, well, they did it, you gotta do it. But their teams weren't good last year. You should. Whether that's fair or not, it doesn't matter. But you sign up for everything when you play this position.
He's a man in a bun, He's a man in his hotel room in Chicago, and he'll be in the booth on Sunday and won't wait.
Wait, are you going to be in that new series Chad Powers.
By the way, I haven't been asked to be.

Darren Revel, founder of collect He's been following the show. Heyo Tani fiftieth home run ball and it was up for auction, going to auction. Then maybe it was not, and mil maybe it's back. So Darren Revel joining us on the program to update us. So where do we stand with show Heyo Tani home run ball number fifty going to auction.
Dan, we are one hour and thirteen minutes away from the auction starting. What happened was last Thursday. I think a lot of people, like histories came so quick that I think a lot of people didn't know, Like people were not going to the game to watch the fifty to fifty happen right day game Marlin's they're getting ready to go to Dodger Stadium for a six game homestand he's not gonna do it.
He wouldn't even do he won't, he's not even gonna try.
So I don't think fans were ready. And obviously he gets a home run of the sixth forty nine, and then he gets a home run in the seven, he's stolen two bases, so it became fifty to fifty. I don't think everyone when that went into the left field, I didn't. I don't think a lot of people really were aware. You know, when you're at a game, you don't know, So it goes in, guy has a chance to catch it, misses, falls down. Guy comes across, looks like he has it, and then there's kind of a scrum with him and a kid, and he picks it up and he holds it and then he goes away and it's his ball. But soon after the kid said I had it and he wrestled it out. Now this might be a little bit too long, but it's really good, so you'll have to cut a commercial.
Ah, okay.
So in two thousand and one, when I was covering the Barry Bonds home run story where for well two thousand and one, it was seventy three the seventy three, one guy caught it. There was then a scrum and another guy picked it up. The court ruled that both of them had possession and both of them owned it because the guy who wound up with it didn't assault the guy who caught it, he didn't touch him. There was a scrum, he lost it technically, and then he had it. So you have two owners here. It's hard to say there's two owners. There's one guy who caught it or one guy who had it originally, and there's one guy who stole it. This kid eighteen year old kid turned eighteen on fifty to fifty on that day, went to the courthouse foul in the lawsuit says it's mine. Tried to get a temporary restraining order yesterday. They said, no, the auction can go ahead, but you cannot actually sell the ball until we meet in court and see if there's a trial here.
Well, wait a minute, so it's gone to auction. You can you can buy it.
You cannot buy it immediately. So the auction year originally said if you want this for four point five million dollars, you can buy it immediately. The court said you can't buy it now. You can bid on it, and you can bid on it until the auction closes on October sixteenth. The next hearing is October tenth, so we'll take all the bids. October tenth, we'll talk about whether this goes to trial or not. So I think they made the right decision here because the longer you take, the less valuable it is. So it's better for both for both parties to.
Get this thing going.
I don't think he's doing sixty sixty, but I'm just saying it's top of mind.
Bidding starts at twelve noon, no no money.
Wise five hundred thousand dollars, which means with the buyer's premium, which is the extra cost you have to pay, it's six hundred and ten thousand dollars. So with the first bid, it'll be the sixth most valuable home run ball ever behind McGuire seventy. So that was three million, the judge sixty two one.
Point five million.
There was a Babe Ruth nineteen thirty three All Star home run eight hundred five thousand, missing one. But then there's Hank Aaron's final home run ball that's over six or fifty thousand. So with one bid, this is the sixth most valuable home run ball of all time.
What's McGuire's home run ball worth?
Probably one hundred and fifty grand one. That's so for three million, I will I will say this though, Todd McFarlane bought a bunch of those balls for five million dollars um. He got twenty five million in publicity, and he would have got one hundred million if it was in the social media era, so let's write off those costs. He was doing the spawn thing. He was getting into figurines and sports figurines. So I think he got his money's worth.
What's bonds ballworth?
Now?
You know, I don't know that that Yeah, that that ball. Actually that's the one I missed. That ball went for I think like seven hundred and seventy thousand. Oh, you're talking about the seventy three or the seventy.
Six seventy three.
So the story with.
The seventy three is these fought for three years and it was probably worth a million dollars when they started. At the end, it's sold for two hundred and twenty five thousand, and then they had to split it, so it was two twenty five back then. I don't think a lot of people are buying it, but those guys probably had a net loss when you consider all their layeraphies.
Good to talk to you, Thanks for joining us.
Darren. That's Darren Ravelle, founder of collect cl LCT, and he'll be following that auction.
Yeah, I didn't know that you had to wait.
You can bid on this, but you got to wait a few weeks before being able to take it home.
Alan Atlanta, Hi, Alan, what's on your mind today?
