their plan to end their food there we. announced today on larry king now. larry king now we are in the beautiful diamond club overlooks home plate at angel stadium of anaheim and i'm joined by future hall of famer nine time all star three time national league m.v.p. two time golden globe gold when i got to the golden globes of the. world series one of the great players ever to grace a baseball field albert pool halls the only player in history to bat at least three hundred with thirty doubles and thirty home runs and one hundred r.b.i. is in his first ten seasons and this year the twenty six player and major league history to him. five hundred home runs where you started you. think you would be

a great bull. never came i and you know that my career was going to take us all where. needed thank god first for the opportunity and the ballot in the town that he has given me to play this gaining growing up in the winter and public all i want it was just an opportunity to play professional baseball did you know you were good was a decent player down and they are i was really you know i was really i can compete . better you know i was one of the players that i was fourteen years old playing we fifteen sixteen seventeen year old guys you know so i was able to learn from my mistake and learning quick why did you leave the dome of the family leave yeah my family you know my grandma my dad me and my dad we were kind of the last one the they left the country to come to the united states in one nine hundred eighty abilene one thousand nine hundred seven one thousand nine hundred one of mine and on call came to the united states and grew up in the midwest yeah. well you're

a midwest that you told me that once you loved them it was yeah i love it you know obviously gets hot in the summer. you know playing there for eleven years it was it was really tough weather but you get used to. you manage your mind so she here in california says you're a once in a generation player no doubt the gold standard for dies do in the batter's box in the field of gold gold first place with putting up incredible numbers he loves managing what he thinks might his awesome reminder you know. i'm blessed to have two hall of fame one going into a hole or find the next couple of daytona and live in san louis and coming down to sold in california and my social you know is my monitor's just a blessing you know he's a guy this and when are we to respect thing in the clubhouse and he's he's our leader you know obviously this year showing you know what he told us in spring training coming on right off the gate and right now being only two games out of

first plays in our mango is to accomplish and hopefully bring the war series room back to the city around it what was the hardest part about leaving st louis i think you know leaving my family behind never i was never away from from my family for more than seven or eight days thing i was away from home from them for almost two and a half months before they all can hear the stories in california so that was tough and it took those about a year and a half. to get used to that and now you know how my all my whole family here my wife schooling our kids and just really listen yeah. she felt the lord just food that on her heart last year she was like you know we need to be where you are and you know i just she just being a leader and. with her hundred percent you know it was somebody that out there again you know when i had

a tough night and she's my best friend you know i choose that one kind of pretty much over myself and just. deal with things that happens in the field and not be able to share that with hanging because with her. because she was in some lawyers in this want to. a lot over there i don't want to wake her of it was tough and now being here she way after again we kind of ride together back home and just how in the kids are we enjoying that there was a time you thought you'd never leave the midwest and yeah there was a time but obviously you know it didn't work out that changes as i sadly i'm getting used to to being here in southern california gray organization gray honor is very grave we have a great front office and you know we putting a great team out there to hopefully accomplish our goal feel like emerging only. now is. very ill is tough yeah you know obviously give you a little way opportunity not to take

a full day off but. because you for the game you're on the bench. all game but it's something that i got used to this year. more than ever first with a ten year contract probably late in the three you will d.h. probably you know are still young only thirty four years old and obviously i have bought a couple and reason my knee and my heel last year was pretty tough but i'm getting better you put a lot of pressure on yourself. i think everybody pushed pressure you know every time you wear the uniform but i think you work hard for that i love to have on second base with you know when you're wrong just you know the stuff you don't train is not like you go into a workout room and say ok i'm going to train to try to get the base off the middle and that winning run in is something the. you get

a lot of our bats and more spears and you get better and it's almost come natural so it's something that says in the situation so the term clutch hitter. we imagine that the clutch hitter rises to the occasion he likes them and that all the time you know i actually like a third baseman more than second base because the fly ball yeah. it's something that i'm comfortable with doing you know i never put my head down you know you you obviously are going to fail you more and this and this is says that you have to because nobody can batter one thousand five hundred you know business and never you know very. when you play baseball you have to understand. because you will fail more than this a lot of other times and you know they were buddies say oh and then all the years oh and. you just get more arbaaz and they say you get what do you regularly angels

this year have a great book on the down the wire yeah there was this is getting better and better every year so i think you have a three year yeah he's playing great they're always tough you know when we play there you go up on your guard and you've got texas we know it's going to them for granted we have a great thing i always say if the we can stay healthy for a whole year then you can see where we are able to do and that's something that we've been doing this year you know we love thank you does well our team of course look at the clubhouse and look at the tiling in the belly and we have the best player in the my trower is just amazing you know watching the kids taking the field every day you've got josh you've got weaver myself you have a great group or mix of player young player bedroom players know how to winning i was sleep that's what you want in the glove housing boom going has got so much

better on starting pitcher now we got so you wilson down for a couple of ways go whole slew and he comes back he picked it up right away what do you think detroit as this is a good two wars and best play and again i mean he's amazing. what he can do in the field and the way that he can be show me he has a he played great the finger gray are our army they say that he go fight too i think he got ten tools if you had to multiply by two you know it's just like there's a guy. that's the one press me the most such a young age you know he don't lay all these media. contract talking all baggage to his head and he's one of the. kids they just home will come from a great family and his goal every day every time he takes stuff ill is to help us up to wing and that's why my ramones think always want to get better no matter this is says they always want to get better we lost only when the issue did you know him

and knew him for a little bit player against and when i was coming up i was honor and blessed to have the opportunity of playing in this chair the sun locker room in two thousand and one his last off of hang and rate and. he just you know it was not just. great man and great human being but you know our family too because we you know we were getting pretty close to each other because you know we started talking. a lot and come into some of my foundation and and things just amazing i had the opportunity when i was in college to have a baby would say for my coach. he gave me two to start to his swing. you know that i think a lot of his brain when you get it simply different. doesn't matter but still when you when you see that career that tony had you know it was just amazing is that you

know i always want to pick the brain they gain a lot of staying inside the ball and little things like that doesn't matter what kind of type or hitter you are you still want to stay inside the ball let the board travel thing that's how you're going to more morsi says and this is the he had a great career. he was a better person off the field did you get to know during jeter all that are playing i guess saying over the years this all season i got to go to his golf tournament and. never had a problem so it is amazing to somebody you know the respect they gang is is that captain he's going to be missed you know on this year. playing against the yankees and all seeing number two and sure it's going to be tough yet a mutual friend loved him stan musial. let us play those i saw in the brooklyn he killed us he was the best hitter i was so because we were nationally fans so i

didn't get to see ted williams much would you think of him as he was amazing person just amazing still there's no he's alive you know all the things that he was still doing for this serial someone who is just a great role model for everybody and. you know just a kid never watched a cardinal play and i got to the big league in two thousand and one he started people who started throwing the name same usual part of myself and you know i was like a man there's only one man and that can be only stand usually you know just like this a great human being i have the opportunity to be around and. a lot of time i wish you know i could have picked his bring a little way more but obviously because they didn't say he was going to do it was pretty tough for him and to stay around camp too many many events for my foundation and that was a mistake that i would never forget. do you ever doubt you'll

say never i made fun even when bad things happen you know because that's the men the men thing you know when you know. their lawyer has taught me so much in my career when even my first year movements and sound was here i mean what i went through and how tough it was and yeah big contract got me big year for me hitting a home run my first six weeks so the seizing it was rough and i was looking myself and i was like you know i trust you you know me from sound was coming into solving california for raising i don't know why but i just rush through with everything and look at my year still they don't hit it on wrong and they probe it or hit a home in september and i still got one hundred. seven honoring a r.b.i. i had to eighty eight to eighty five and thirty homers you know so i imagine that two months that i didn't hear any homers i would have still broken he had a forty plus homers and. thirty more as i think he was testing you know there were

tests you know and something you know you just need to make sure that they're in over there who you represent when you feel and that's somebody that he has to take me to a level that i feel you know trusting and come to will and no matter what kind of challenge comes in my way i go to the lower grades with my family and with and this is one of the times when we come back the ask about what's so special about the limits and look. at this. this was going to washington well it's a mess that is being suggested to the list isn't that the media panic. proceeds going to actually back doesn't do too much for our revenue my tech agriculture giant takes on a seventy six year old american farmer east india fallout do you think this is

going to create the cia do you think this is what's triggering a race because the largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of the breaking news that is mostly about turning the status quo but when i gave you all those points on the working poor the american dream for the next they were just trying to survive it's time for americans and lawmakers are forced to wake up and start talking about the real causes of poverty. that would be great albert this afternoon it's. just a tuesday have to leave the angels are about to take on the very good oriole to board first place in the eastern division. nineteen teams still playing. so i believe what is it the water in the dominican republic they do somewhat. out of

proportion to the population do you do see the major why maybe the plantain and the food there we. know i don't know they don't crummy feels right yeah definitely the rocks that's how i grew it's getting better organization and every organization investing a lot of money in their minor league system and down in the car but they give us pitchers infielders up to those long balls he was singles that was yeah spurs special spree oppressions across the american republic my country. you know something. there that cation baseball you know is a good coach is you know i think there's a great caution i mean you go in winter league is nothing you are better than one or more you know you being in the final and they were and i were in league doing this is people playing the music and it's allowed it's feel like almost playing when you're laid down and never had the opportunity by seeing gains as almost like

playing them a spear every day do you go home at all do you go back to them and definitely every year at the end of the season and run november i always take a trip with my foundation the poor family foundation we want is that was it do we do a lot of work with kids with down syndrome as you know i have a daughter with her name is isabella you know since two thousand and one when i was in some. together with down syndrome association i started my foundation in two thousand and five five or five. i were number five so that was a great year for us and two thousand and six we started making our first mission trip down to the yard we take doctors dentists and we start different programs now in the dominican republic go with a nice meter then says oh yeah every year every year i mean from two thousand and five to now in the programs that we have there just amazing you know now we know

only working in one community now we been working growing about five six different communities around the b.r. and that's something that that was our goal and i can't think are our friends and people that support our foundation and off you know we because if it wouldn't be for them we wouldn't be where in my district down the halls you gave him she cysteine i have i have a sixteen year old girl is of a. who's thirteen and i got sophia who's a ezra who's four and twenty two month old baby esther grace is that it. for now. we always wanted a big family. so the first born had done some dance and did you see would happily and others you know it was something that. it was so special she had taught me so much in my life too and being around these

kids to me that's my passion if you go to my website pools family foundation or you see all the events that we do with those kids. you know while been doing the last three year we span our foundation now we're here and sold in california and nashville. kansas cd in our goal is to try to continue to do that you know helping we have a kid here who's working at this stage or now we set a program there we made you this stadium is going to provide jobs for a kid with down syndrome i mean. push that through to magically base when they partner with the sharing is amazing is the host family foundation the foundation dot all of our close family foundation that or two of the baseball teams in the world last segment with a lot of questions from viewers and so musial one said that he could have. ten straighted bats got

a hit that did not affect the eleven the back to the passed out you do that the saying i think you know you're going to. let me go to bear in mind. you know that's how i was supposed to be you know you can take that bad weather was positive with the base and take it to the next one it's like one day at a time one are bad times and one thing that i have that tony la russa me was we are bad because you lies about your career in every bad state like this again seven zero there were serious and i believe since you've been won in two thousand and one it has helped me with this it says that i have so i give a lot of credit to tony even now he doesn't like to take any credit but you know he told me that on all the time that he'd tell me was what do you prefer to hit three hundred. thirty homers saying obviously you know homers is that thing on say thirty

is like a routine mistake if you had three hundred you're going to have you share homer. and you're going to morrow for two needed that you want to help this ball club because you're going to come through with the basi and score that run from second base or third base and something you know as a rookie you don't know that but the quicker that i learned the better it was for me to understand all the sports yeah i love go off a log off. more of like callers rascal more than. i make you smile than be a to. really go off they will play football and off my coaching high school is pushing me really really really bad we're going to great tight end. just something that. big that i didn't like much as we have some social media questions the world of social media and bobby who are already doing are on facebook the size winning the world series what great accomplishment deal it forward to next three

thousand hits or six hundred home runs. well that's a great question i would say you know three thousand hits something is really really hard to do. you have to really has a grace he says and his love for a slender. grace he says and then also a long career to be able to accomplish that but i can take you there or you know obviously but three thousand here we say something that i love both the great. holes five via twitter the. line and you hit a home run do you enjoy standing there in admiring the fact that you just scratched the ball. think. you know if there's a long homer or the moment always the term you know what you're going to do if is a game winning home or obviously something doesn't happen every day but you enjoy it every time you hit a home or because you know the fans come to see that you know sometimes when you're

myra don't like week i watch a lot oh my are. the weights sometimes it's a double you know you have to respect that they'll decide to i think it comes a moment where you can do it and there are some of the moment that you have to respect the other side because you've got short sighted players and you show the picture too you know. so you don't do that you know oh yeah you know there's sometimes there are pro is none there were as bad think everybody in this this arena ruis what's the best and worst part about living in southern california where you like the best about the best there and you can't wait for the worst i don't think there are worse things that are i would say that traffic but they're not going out you know hearing out on so the traffic is not as bad at three or four if you were a professional ball player what would you do. if i wanted them professional baseball . i was saying you know continue to do my my engine here words you know i want to

go to school and being and you know we should measure and that was something that i want to know we play a little game of if you only knew just out of nowhere your mother first of the kissed yeah it was the name i chanted done in the movie don't get me in trouble no. i was twelve it's late now yeah so that was twelve favorite city besides in on the plane. to play sound was a great play great town least favorite city to go to. the walkie you know just very boring. ballpark with the best facilities bizarre hours i would say john to stay in the new youngest area is pretty awesome city with the toughest fans philadelphia for sure. for sure philly a super power you'd like to have super power and i do have the speed. i mean i wish

i can be faster proudest moment writers mom and just giving my life to the lord was a major league baseball rule you'd like to change i would say. although. i don't know maybe that bog who. want to second base right. or now you can bug to third base if you don't throw the ball out you don't have a first and third move anyway so i would say that about. the biggest prankster in the locker room. i know you mean intro and i mean is there a who makes fun with those little tricks and yeah i mean there's three we got like you guys but who's the quietest teammate they acquire his team. i would say josh and you know he's require funniest teammate funny steamy.
