Transcript

00:00ESPN finally unveiled the last dance which documented Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls

00:07and everybody's talking about it but it got me thinking if you had to watch a 10-part series

00:13on a baseball team or player who would it be because I know mine it would be Ichiro because

00:18he was exactly the reason why I decided to be a right fielder. Who's would yours be?

00:23Oh it wouldn't be a player it would be you know since I'm a Texas Rangers writer I'm gonna go

00:27with the Rangers and probably the the most heartbreaking season which was ironically the

00:34best season in franchise history that'd be the 2011 season. They won a franchise record 96 games

00:41they were just a dominant team they had a dominant lineup they were they were so so good and for

00:49anybody who keeps up with baseball you kind of know how that's that season ended and it wasn't

00:54in favor of the Rangers as we know now. So if you went back what do you think would be the title

01:01of this docuseries not to put you on the spot or anything? Well it depends on what perspective

01:06you're going from if you're going from the Cardinals perspective you could do any kind

01:10of wordplay you want to do with David Fries but if you're going from the Rangers perspective

01:16heartbreak, melancholy, any negative feeling that you can think of would have to deal with the

01:22Rangers. Obviously being one strike away twice and and still not able to win the World Series

01:29that's a that's a heartbreaking thing that that game is looked at as one of the most historic

01:34games just in modern baseball history right now and unfortunately Rangers were on the

01:40on the bad side of it. Well maybe you can pitch that to Sports Illustrated Maven

01:45as the next 10-part series what do you think? Might be a good idea.
