I remember Roy Firestone and Andy Van Slyke had a very weird conversation about Jim Morrison on ESPN. That goon Firestone fired off questions thinking Andy was friends with members of the Doors, asking about the rock-n-rollers lifestyle and drug use as AVS gazed back clueless.

That interview was hilarious.....Firestone asked Van Slyke if he had seen any drug use when around Jim Morrison....Van Slyke looks at Firestone with a WTF expression and says: No!......Are you talking about Jim Morrison the thIrd baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates?......Firestone quickly cuts to a commercial. I don't remember if this was an April Fools Day episode or not, but it was funny to see Firestone get so embarrased.

I remember the Van Slyke interview, a classic. Firestone was terrible, and AVS was his comical self. I wish I could find it for another laugh.
