Have you heard of Doug Harey?
gpt
Wasn't he an umpire for the MLB?
human
Yes he just died at 87 years of age.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I guess he was a big deal, and he lived quite a while. He'll be missed though
human
He must've been an interesting character to earn the nick name 'God'.
gpt
He was one of those umpires that knew what he was doing
human
Yup, he earned his spot in the hall of fame after calling 4,673 games.
gpt
And five World Series, which is a big leagues in the MLB. He wasn't intimidated by anyone, it seems
human
He was around to see some of the first world series that first started in 1903.
gpt
*eyes widen* That's incredible! Do you pay attention to baseball much?
human
No I did when I was younger but lost interest. How bout you?
gpt
Every once in a while. It's one of those sports I would rather play than watch. The Japanese are such big fans of baseball that they would probably take the name "national pastime" from the Americans if they could
human
Yea they are usually surprised to find so many americans like it too.
gpt
Enough that people used to collect baseball cards. One man found a collection in his grandfather's attic that was worth three million dollars
human
*leans forward* thats a lot of money. are any managers cards worth anything? they do wear the uniform after all.
gpt
Probably only if they step in and play the game. I've never seen any of them do it, but that would be an interesting thing to see
human
*eyes brighten* I think that would be fun to see, like the cubs winning the championship after 108 years.
gpt
It would be fun to see them all play kickball sometime. In Canada, they call the game soccer-baseball
human
I dont think a couple would schedule all 2430 games throughout 24 years for soccer baseball. like one couple did for baseball.
gpt
*relaxed posture* They might if the game got enough sponsors. They could even play it in extreme conditions like in the snow or on ice. Wearing hockey skates
