Joe Pepitone at Dan's Fields of Dreams
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2015
- Yankees legend Joe Pepitone was one of three author-athletes to speak at the inaugural Dan's Fields of Dreams at Guild Hall of East Hampton on September 3, 2015. His book Joe, You Coulda Made Us Proud has been hailed as “one of the top 20 baseball books ever” by Esquire and “one of the most honest books ever written by a professional athlete” by Rolling Stone, and the tales he’ll tell at Guild Hall will open a door to sports stardom and celebrity like you’ve never seen or heard. Dan's Papers caught up with Joe prior to him joining Rudy Ruettiger, Dwier Brown and Stephen Costello on stage. Joe says he owes his baseball career to the early days of stick ball.
Stickball was awesome. Remember playing it from sunrise to sunset during summer vacations in New York city.
Same here boss.
Spauldeens!
@@TheBatugan77 YES
Really good player. Great glove, a sweet swing, and hit for power.
Was there in old Yankee stadium, my first game ever. Little League bus trip up from the Jersy Shore. Sat out in left center between Tresh and Mickey. I still recall that same lineup and tell people that and include them the playing Senators and Hondo. Two things that stand out the most, Mickey so close you could touch him, and how enormous Frank Howard was.
Then going to Shea for the first time with Spahn on the mound. The Mets had just come into existence.
Finished off at Connie Mack Stadium. To get to your seats, the bus parked outside the right field wall and you walked through the wall, across the warning track while they were taking batting practice. A light hitting, nobody catcher was behind the plate named Bob Eucker caught that day. All great memories.
The Euck ! He was one funny guy. Great memories you've got there.
Joe Pep running across this was a real surprise. I met Joe and became his friend in 1984. Was always a big fan of his when he played with the Yankees and meeting him was a treat for me, and becoming his friend was one of the highlights of my life. I met him at his cellar disco he opened in Kingston NY below the Villa Roma restaurant.. I had on a red satin baseball jacket and he was behind the bar an yelled over at me, "Hey pal, I had a jacket like that in the 60's", and he laughed and I gave him the peace sign and he then said have a drink on me! I was with my girl friend at the time and we sat at the bar for hours and the joint was mobbed but he and I hit it off because we both came from a NYC Italian family and neighborhood so we had a lot in common. The three of us closed the place that night. We remained friends, played in a softball league together in Saugerties NY. I once I loaned him my company car for a trip he made to New Jersey because his was a beater. He said he was going to Jersey to meet with Mickey and Whitey to form a softball league. I felt bad so I loaned him a caddy I was driving at the time. He told me he would be back in two days. Joe showed up 4 days later. LOL..I asked him how the meeting with the Mick and Whitey turned out and he said "Who?" I laughed like hell and we went and had a drink. That;s Joe Pep. Loved that guy, and we remained friends until I moved to Florida to semi retire and we lost touch. I have many more Joe Pep stories of our friendship bit it would take another book. RIP Joe many many people you befriended will never forget you, and neither will just your casual fans or acquaintances. Big ideas, bigger heart and big impact on Yankee fans and people in general.
As a kid when Joe joined the Cubs he became one of my favorites. Slick fielding, good bat as a youngster one could recognize Joe was a fun cool dude. Wish he had played longer, and did more with his talent. He sure had it. God Bless😊

Joe Pepitone passed away this March 13 2023 , he was 82 .... R.I.P. Joe Pepitone 🌟 🙏
Joe was a solid player, underrated
...the two 'Broadway' Joes...Pepitone & Namath - memories of the 50s & 60s
You've got that right.
Whatever year the All Star Game was in Baltimore..1993? I was staying at the Omni where many former baseball stars were staying for the All Star Fanfest that MLB holds each year. I was in the hotel pool talking with Joe Pepitone for about fifteen minutes. He spoke with me about his life, his career...like I was a friend. He didn't need to, but he was fabulous. What a memory. I'll never forget that. A few other stars in the hotel put their hand up to keep you away, but Joe was charming.
I remember him well. He had serious pop in his bat!
JOE YOU MADE US PROUD - YOU WERE THERE FOR US HERE IN NEW YORK - AND WILL ALWAYS BE HERE AT SAINT JOHN'S CEMETERY ON LONG ISLAND , NEW YORK - !
Hi a family member is selling his basball glove and his gold watch on Ebay RIP Joe Pepitone
Where on Long Island is St. John's cemetery ?
Great, great character in the history of baseball. Tailor made swing for the short porch in right.
...my late brother, Tim's, claim to fame (he talked about it until he died)...was the day he rode with dad's service call guy, Jack, to service Joe's TV in Mediterranean Towers in Fort Lee, NJ...Tim was so proud of actually being in Joe's apartment he yakked about for months...this hadda be back in the early 60s when Tim was 9 or 10...
Rest In Peace, Joe.

I'm a Red Sox fan but Joe Pepitone is a great man.
A great man? How so?
@@chr970 By my measure. If that doesn't meet yours I don't give a rat's ass.
@@jonbruce536 I just looked him up….3 failed marriages ( because he a drunken abusive husband), drunken driving and getting caught with loaded gun in car and cocaine, drunken driving and assault, assault and causing bodily harm ( luckily never killed someone with his drinking and driving which would have been his usual state of driving. Yeah he sure is a great guy,…. decent above average hitter , if that what makes him”great”.
@@chr970 Good. I'm glad you're the judge and jury of the lives of others. I was considering Pepitone and baseball. Somehow, something that innocent was taken out of context by an asshole. I'm far from perfect and try not to look through my nose at others. What powers do you have that give you the right to judge? What have you done that makes you different? Being a judgmental asshole appears to be your specialty. I spent two tours on the ground in Afghanistan and was seriously wounded. I don't spend any time or have time to be an internet troll. I feel sorry for you.
Yankee fan, Yastremski , same...loved that sox with lonberg, rico, carl, etc...rooted for them v. cards...
I remember Mickey Mantle's last game in Detroit. They told him that Denny McClain was going to throw the ball right down the middle for him. Mantle did not believe them and he did not swing. They again told Mantle the next pitch was going to be right in there. It was and Mantle hit it for a home run. When Mantle finished rounding the bases, he turned towards McClain and tipped his hat. The next batter up was Pepitone. Pepitone motioned to McClain that he wanted the same treatment as Mickey. McClain, on the next pitch, threw a fast ball that missed Pepitone's head by inches.
I remember listening to that game on the radio back when baseball WAS the national pastime.
I'm sure Joe saw the humor in that....after he calmed down.
That game was not televised & no video exists. I remember listening on the radio.
@@rstefanie2622
Do you recall if it was George Kell or Ernie Harwell who called that play on the radio at the time? I think it was Harwell.
@@chickey333 Was in NJ listening to the NYY telecast.
I remember in the late 60s is the first guy that had long hair hang out the back of his hat.
We played baseball until you couldn't see the ball at night.
I loved him on the Yankees.
Seems like a nice down to earth guy
BALL FOUR made this man famous! Jim Bouton
Jim Bouton was a little bit of a backstabber. I didn't like what he wrote about Mantle when the book came out..., but I forgive him.
@@jimdep6542 He was a backstabber.
Remember Joe when he was with Cubs, hanging at Rush St., having a few beers and going 2-4 the next day.
Joe on Rush St.........what a combination !
Great, great interview.🙏🏽
I met Joe in 1994. He is a man who walks to his own beat. Love the guy

Saw the Indians and Yankees in August of '63. Gary Bell hit Joe twice and after going to first base he and Fred Whitfield got into it and both benches emptied and that is the only glimpse I got of Mantle as he did not play that night.
What a lineup the Yankees had back then!
Privileged to see peppy and Micky,Roger Elston,etc
Joe pepitone a legend
Hi a family member is selling his basball glove and his gold watch on Ebay RIP Joe Pepitone
Pepitone #25 was my favorite Yankee when I was a kid watching WPIX channel 11 from NY. This guy was rockstar, much like the way I was impacted by Joe Namath. I played first base in Little League and wore 25 in his honor. Bobby Murcer and Thurman Munson were top Yankee favorites of mine too. I wish I could have met any of these guys, but at least I did have the honor of meeting Goose Gossage in Colorado in the mid 1990's. He signed his book for me when I saw him at a golf course. Really nice guy and talked Yankee memories with me for a while. We both got emotional when talking about Thurman and the first time Goose heard about the plane crash.
yes WPIX Channel 11 out of New York City - that is the television station that brought us the Yankees and JOE PEPITONE all those years ago - decades ago !
@@joenania That period of time to me were my favorites all time memories of summer. I sure miss the way life was.
@@jimdep6542 JIM - Life is still ok - just ignore the anti-American politicians - and vote for the good guys !
@@joenaniaYou bet. The good guy from Queens gets my vote every time. ......we just need to keep people who've been dead for years from voting against him.

Joe Pepitone,s greatest line is "you stupid bastard!
I had no idea that Joe Pepitone wrote a book I'll find a copy somewhere.
I got my book, read it in about 4 days and did plenty of laughing and remembering.
RIP Pepi
RIP
They just don't make em like Peppy anymore. One story I found hilarious was when teammate Clete Boyer
(Always the prankster) filled Peppy's hair dryer with talcum powder. I'd have given anything to have
seen that.
Ken Murphy That sounds like something Mickey would have done! He was a major practical joker.
Pepitone was very talented. He had a very quick bat. Ted Williams once said that Pepitone could be a hundred-thousand dollar ball player. That was in the ‘60’s when a hundred grand was huge for a ball player.

What a bomb of a trade when Joe was sent to Houston after winning a GG in 1969 for a washed up .210 type hitter Curt Blefary & it left a gaping hole in RF for over 4 years as well.
Yeah, I sure remember that. I felt like I got punched in the stomach when I first heard about the trade. It was awful. Then a couple years or so later, they trade Murcer, my 2nd favorite player to Joe, .........they trade Murcer for Bobby Bonds. A real bust. The Yanks just weren't the same anymore, but at least they had Munson.
@@jimdep6542 Murcer trade evolved into Rivers & Figueroa after Bonds was traded for them so it kind of worked out real good as Figgy was a .600+ type 15-20 game winner for a few years & Mick aced it at leadoff but that Pepitone deal was a disaster from the instant they made it. A Gold Glove 20+ homer hitter for that obviously washed up former Rookie of the year who had garbage numbers the year before?
@@edwardanthony7283 That's true for practical purposes. Pepitone and Murcer were my two favorite Yankees when I was a kid.
@@jimdep6542 White too
@@edwardanthony7283 Yes, Roy White too, Mel, Fritz and Tresh
The late Joe Pepitone was born on the exact same day as John Lennon...Oct 9,1940. RIP Joe!!
Imagine that.............ah.......I'm sorry. That was bad.
@@jimdep6542 Good one
brooklyn boy all the way...
I'm one of the pepitones
hello Joey, my grandmother asked me that joe is his cousin. Joe's father is erasmo. My grandmother is looking for the brother of erasmo . Are you related to that erasmo ? please
@@ickyknoxAll this time went by and no answer ? That's just.....wrong.
@@jimdep6542 hello, no i never had any answer by the son of joey pepitone. But i put it inside my genealogic tree. But i chat with his cousins

The last Imperial Yankee
Hi a family member is selling his basball glove and his gold watch on Ebay RIP Joe Pepitone
Joe with that *nose-* the *face* that launched a *thousand quips.*
I heard some guy in the stands called him, hey banana nose. Joe yelled at him why don't you come down here snd try to peel it! Joe was a NY bad ass!
...story I heard was that a fan was heckling him from the stands..."Hey, Joe...Is that your nose or a banana...??? Joe yelled back something to the effect of..."You wanna come down and peel it???"
@@mohammedcohen lol 😂 .... I recall a game with the Red Sox, where a brawl erupted between the Yankees and Bosox , Rico Petrocelli clotheslined Pepitone ... both were very high tempered tough Italian Americans ... I admired them both 👍👍
I sat in the bleachers with that line up back in the 60s never missed ballday bat day and cap day Joe Pepitone came to eat at mama’s pizzeria on Nostrand avenue in Brooklyn I lived 2 doors down at 1634 Nostrand go Yankees

Man......what a great atmosphere it must have been at that time. Lots of good fellowship.
Are you ever in Palm Beach cousin?
He introduced the hair dryer to Major League Baseball
Sorry Yankee Fans, #25 loved playing for the Cubs the best, He played in Japan. This is my very First Celeb. that I met parking his van at the El Caribe country club in Brooklyn , N.Y. I was 17, He owned a chain of hair cutters called My Place. I never got the book yet. He played Baseball with the best of the very best. Joe, You made us proud.
Question-Where was Joe's hair salon located in Brooklyn? I remember the El Caribe very well. I didnt know this at the time, but Joe lived right around the corner where I grew up as a kid in Canarsie.
@@adm712 Can you give us the street and house number where Joe lived in Canarsie? Did Joe grow up in Carnarsie or did he live there in later years?
@@UMAmherst1 It was on East 81 Street off of Glenwood Road. I dont feel comfortable giving out residential addresses out of respect for privacy for people who live there. He lived there from the early 1970s until sometime in the 1980s.
@@adm712 Completely understand, thanks for the reply. Do you know what neighborhood in Brooklyn where Joe grew up and learned the game of baseball and played stickball?
@@adm712 I grew up in east Flatbush loved Joe and the Yankees
And all this time, Seinfeld fans assumed he was just a made up character with a silly name.
Larry David is a long time Yankee's fan going back to the early 1960's
and for some reason loved Pepitone.
I know.........but consider the source....not the brightest streetlights on the highway.
This man was a thief
What did he steal?
@chrisnalina1755...he's not going to tell us because he didn't steal anything ...
