6:00-6:20:

- Mt. Markham high school baseball player Brent Hecker throws over 130 pitches in 10 innings only giving up 2 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 21!

- Do younger players who are professional prospects burn themselves out too soon? An increase in "Tommy John" surgeries in the past few years.

- Magic Johnson comes out in response to the Donald Sterling interview with Anderson Cooper.

 6:20-6:35:

- Magic speaks out about Donald Sterling's interview with Anderson Cooper saying he feels sorry for Sterling.

- Magic also talked about his reaction to the original tapes.

- He says he's upset but doesn't hold grudges and would probably say hello to him if he saw him and his wife again.

6:35-6:50:

- Will Professional MMA fighting finally be allowed in New York? Will it pass in the Assembly?

- We will talk to Senator Griffo later this morning about this.

- The reason it's not allowed in New York professionally now is because UFC and pro MMA is non-Union. Madison Square Garden and New York City is all union.

Ray Stagich - The Weather Channel

Peter Franklin - True Tales from NYC

- Peter is the last English speaking cab driver in New York City and he gives us his weekly True Tales.

- We also discussed with Peter mammograms, or as they're called in the Franklin home "Mommy-Grams."

Jeff May Get Himself Into Trouble!

- He told a joke that was funny to us, but maybe not so funny to his wife! This is in anticipation of our upcoming guest Dr. Richard Lee.

- Donna calls in to talk about a phone scam involving a man claiming to be from the IRS. Watch out for phone scams and dialing 800 numbers.

- This stemmed from a National Grid Scam that is going on in Herkimer. If you are being called by National Grid, don't call back the number they give you. Look up the National Grid number on your bill and see if there really is a problem.

7:20-7:30:

- How sanitary are hospitals? The Newsmaker of the day, Mers, prompts the discussion.

- Audio from the Michael Sam press conference was played. Bill points out that Sam does not sound gay and that's because "sounding gay" is a stereotype that needs to go away.

- Sam was asked how do you react to negative comments on Twitter and elsewhere and he says, "I don't read them."

Dr. Richard Lee - Can Spousal Nagging Lead To An Early Death?

- Stress caused by over-nagging can lead to heart problems.

- What is the nagging about? What is it doing to you physiologically?

- Stress is second only to smoking for cancer and diabetes.

- Stress can cause chemical reactions in your body that can cause severe damage and even damage sex hormones.

- Stress from watching a sporting event is different than not having a good job or job at all.

- Terrible time to go into the teaching profession is a bad message to send.

Peter Faughnan - Utica Brewers

- Before we got to Peter we talked about the current problem of putting a debit card in your pocket, wallet, or purse.

- One woman gives this couple a $20 bill because they are out of gas and have no money. They give her a hug and use a device to steal the woman's credit information and identity.
