Former Marlins President David Samson reacts to Ichiro’s Marlins joke and iconic Hall of Fame speech
David, do you think that Billy is right in being mad about Ichiro’s Marlins joke in Coopertown? I heard that, Billy. And and uh I want to tell you how I engaged with it sitting there in the heat yesterday because you hear your name come out and you’re just so overwhelmed with gratitude that your name comes out and then you hear the Marlins joke and I immediately thought my god anything other than that because that is I you could just tell that people were going to think that that was serious but it wasn’t. He We won the World Series in 03, folks. He was in his prime in 03. He knew the Marlins, number one. Number two, he faced us. We played against him. Oh, he was terrible against the Marlins. I then had it checked. He was like 8 for 40 against us. Yeah, he was bad. We had him dead to rights. And uh believe me, he keeps track of every at bat. So, what I then realized is he wanted to let people know what a funny side he has to go with how important his message was during his speech, which I think is one of the most viral and best speeches I’ve ever heard a Hall of Famer give. So, I was I had a little PTSD because the Marlins are the butt of people’s jokes. Though, we do have two world championships in our franchise history and we’ve been to the playoffs recently twice since co. So all of this talk that the Marlins are, you know, such a failure, I just don’t buy. But I think now people realize that of course each row was joking. For the people who missed it, we have the video right now. Let’s go ahead and roll it. And to the Miami Marlins, I appreciate David Samson and Mike Hill for coming today. Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015, I had never heard of your team. [Applause]
