Joining us right now on the AT&T hotline AT&T. A better three G experience. There's a former red -- you know what I'm doing a disservice by calling him a former red sock because Mike Timlin. I've played for damn near every team in Major League Baseball and I write my -- going over some teams earlier Red Sox. Blue jays. Mariners Seattle cardinals. Orioles totally missed. -- It's got hundreds and had a lot of fun.
That is that as time -- you know is the shortstop so upbeat view.

And I'll just explain to people what you guys talking about. Mike Timlin psychology yesterday a very serious filmmaker Mike Timlin is now a serious film got what he got going on -- explain it to be.
Well you know whatever -- is work with I can't cinema. They called via. Into view there sure Lou Lou probably knows there. You know just from being locked Bowman he does look can work from some. They called me up in the ask me to. To -- ration. On -- home and sit you know to which you know here it goes. If it's you know just doing some.
So reading this is that you know this sounds really good let's look good and seriously dude. The -- currently the film's cult touching game Alaska. It's basically. In. Film about a -- baseball midnight -- game. You know and all the history of now. The game came in the summer -- Alaska. It's really cool and home. Reason you know. -- do this upstart insecure about this. Use the qualities because -- you know -- radio -- you know maybe do some you know. Replacement players of the like that -- this might be you know where it opens doors so. -- and narrated a film and I think it turned out really well.
Did you play in that league at all.
I didn't play -- at least I mean. You know there's there's been some. I mean this hall of famers played. You know Tom Seaver Winfield. -- played out here. And there. You know. Jovial very Katie through. And there's been some need to. -- I think any Johnston he cannot simply appear. You know it's -- some guys live there. -- you know the film you know. Really shows. Now it was based economic health connection. Only for guys out there. You know -- State because it is so well. It's it's pretty cool but --
go around here that in these parts here the big summer league is obviously the cape league got played there a couple of years and and like you know when -- careers over you kind of look at where the game is taking new here you play indicate the -- played Japan played Venezuela and the different cities whoever I've played in the big leagues -- in a minor leagues and this look like a spot that I've always felt like would have been just a great experience some day you were to spent the summer in Alaska. He looked just reading some of the comments about it and you know the moose in between the mostly pink salmon and -- that did -- dark result all sunlight the midnight game. Sounds like a great experience.
It really does mean you know and I watched the film. You know before. It's I mean scenery is easing. The guys that -- this you know I -- of the Alaska that's in Alaska also made -- game story -- The peaceful -- asking them to for so many of the history of well they went. Since they were local this year that would indicate -- person in the raft to -- and so they do that don't wanna keep godly which you know. Is amazing. In itself just because the so called awesome and I'd never had a chance that legal would there have been -- to play there either melodic as through that are you know. Major major leaguers. That played there because such greatly.
You know Mike guys who have played a number of sports and whether it's football baseball basketball. If they play for five years eight years when they stop playing these say I miss the camaraderie amidst the travel and missed the game to the competitiveness. You played for a lot longer than eight years. Oh what's that transition been like to -- you do you sit around and you do you watch the game still do you do you miss it desperately or has. As has this project and other projects. Has this kept you occupied.
You'll this projects -- a little bit of a -- You know like everyone else you can ask you. Go hand. That's pretty you know and 9% against you talk to you. That's been. Maybe you'd you'd get to know. You know 3040 guys through -- years and they can. You know. You know not just because. He plays second base shortstop. -- You know because your on the plane with them on the bus -- them. You talk to meant to wise you fight you wise for kids aren't doing you know with the issue. Things like that and you learn these guys I mean its its atmosphere. So that's what you do about. Baseball football or basketball. You know need to export. As for the transition. You know I'm I'm doing other things you know have been talking to -- in and Eric in. We're trying to put together. Possible. Shield that we can. Be. So. Extra people. Basically we came up you -- idea. And here -- Kyle and we came via the do show we can -- you know servicemen and women. You know people. Don't really never heard you know one of our. Store in the instance of extraordinary battle the people never known and you know that's where we're trying to develop this look for sponsorships. Things like that. Where we can petition together. Possibly. Put on. Mainstream television. You guys don't be like hunt. So. We we of course that would be. You wanted to be an issue that is -- And some guys talking to either but you know it turns out you know if we hold -- Lou and so what you do well efficient -- You know hopefully we can do that. And highlight the background of where they came from what they've done in life you know working -- Celebrity's. Just basically to you know. -- you know Hitler. And like his -- liberty. And now. That's sort of thing. You know that's that's kind of project that we go. Out there -- you know put together some. Background. Basis for this. There were talks people can respond. To this. There. Object it's got some numbers of traffic all. It can't be. -- they can do. So. We sell airtime. And commercial time.
will -- deathly get those numbers out toward the end of the interview I'll ask you this just curious when the last time you went. To a Major League game in what was the experience like for you going as a non player.
You'll going to amount -- we. I I go to Bible study out here. Oh man. But yes some context and he raises money for charities. By. So ticket package. And -- a Bible -- going to -- money. Give tickets to the delegates and the avalanche and the rockets. So you know -- abandonment and you know we we spent some time you know what's in the Rockies play. And of course I'm sitting there you know that the game and I I analyze the game like I'm coming in in the cemetery -- like I always. And -- get lost in the game a little bit sometimes you know my daughter my -- the other question Michael what what you know on so people who lost the game that. I've gone to a couple of games suspect. And -- even -- Suspect camera has signed with the Iraqis. -- out. And adjusted timing didn't work our most vulnerable well. Still did -- to a good fastball sinker. And timing just wasn't right they -- in the short or long. You know I was. Really willing team. -- And for awhile. Good so I was happy be. So. You'll go into a baseball game this past summer was awesome because it that was my name is a little bit different you know who writes it just you know. What in the locker room while water ago reports. Yeah -- little with the.
To rip the manager. You can you can truly significant other players -- barrio -- and not get the call.
That's right go out to worry about you know -- my guess is obviously. Do you you know somebody like who worry about that won't -- but given a double down the line I just going to the game in public until ninth inning battle tested.
You don't like you don't you talked quarterly and I grew gonna pursue what you do mrs. travel with the team come in the clubhouse early maybe planes and cars. What I didn't miss and I was lucky because I knew when it was time -- I realize how hard the game -- gut you know there's more negatives than there were positives for me on the field he talked about last year how old usually you talk to Colorado Rockies. If you close that stormy you at a point now we you can look practicing you know what I am done playing this game.
