So it was all good.

00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:20,353
Thank you so much for being here.

00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:22,989
You're a good friend.
We'll talk more about that.

13
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:26,159
My name is Eric Feeney, founder
and president of Friends of Feeney.

14
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:27,060
Our mission is to help

15
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:30,096
children and families that need assistance
after heartbreak or tragedy.

16
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:32,465
I use this podcast,
Feeney talks with friends,

17
00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:35,468
and I talk to wonderful people in
the community that are doing great things.

18
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:38,671
And Shane, first off,
before we even begin, I want to thank you

19
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:42,609
so much for coming out to our fourth
annual Friends of Feeney golf tournament.

20
00:00:43,309 --> 00:00:45,245
It was our biggest fundraiser ever.

21
00:00:45,245 --> 00:00:49,215
We raised over $34,000, and
that was a big part of you being there.

22
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:52,118
And, playing golf with the foursome.

23
00:00:52,118 --> 00:00:54,721
What'd you think? How'd you feel?
How did you hit them?

24
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:58,591
Well, I could tell you, you know,
besides my personal way

25
00:00:58,591 --> 00:01:02,762
of being very lucky and fortunate
to play in New York and be it.

26
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:06,032
But did because of that,
I get to do events

27
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,969
for a lot of charities and stuff,
and every charity event

28
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:13,206
is for a specific cause,
and I absolutely love it.

29
00:01:13,606 --> 00:01:16,609
And this is my first time doing it there.

30
00:01:16,709 --> 00:01:19,712
You know,
we have Dave who's going through

31
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:23,650
a life thing
and I got to play with and he was amazing.

32
00:01:23,716 --> 00:01:26,052
This had an amazing time, I really did.

33
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:28,788
Yeah. Dave, thanked me so much.

34
00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:30,690
It meant the world that you played
with him.

35
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,526
Like you
said, he's got some some medical issues.

36
00:01:33,526 --> 00:01:35,361
He's a good friend. He's my neighbor.

37
00:01:35,361 --> 00:01:38,064
Thinking about him, but,
yeah, it was great.

38
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:40,033
You played with Dave, Dave and Sam?

39
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:43,036
Yeah. Santo. Santo, my brother in law.

40
00:01:43,369 --> 00:01:44,804
He's a good friend, I guess. Is weird.

41
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:47,507
He's I he's I he's not really a friend.

42
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:48,274
He's a brother in law.

43
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:50,577
I'm forced to say nice things about him.

44
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:52,245
That was your cart, buddy. How.

45
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:53,279
How did he hit him?

46
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,614
He did good. He's.

47
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:55,215
He's way better.

48
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:55,982
I'm not very good.

49
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:58,284
So, I mean, I'm, like a 17, 18 handicap.

50
00:01:58,284 --> 00:01:58,985
So nice.

51
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:03,223
I'm just there to entertain people
and maybe make a few putts.

52
00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:04,457
Maybe a couple good drives.

53
00:02:04,457 --> 00:02:06,593
But, yeah, I'm like, I'm
just there for entertainment.

54
00:02:06,593 --> 00:02:08,294
I'm not that good of a golfer.

55
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:09,362
I'd rather be fishing.

56
00:02:09,362 --> 00:02:10,296
Here's the crew.

57
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:11,364

173
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:53,513
I got two more events at the Yankee
Stadium and just,

174
00:06:53,513 --> 00:06:54,781
you know, I try to stay busy.

175
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:57,850
I work in Hamden with my buddy, U.S.

176
00:06:57,850 --> 00:06:58,918
named prospects.

177
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:03,156
He might be shutting down his side, but,
like Ben Rice for the Yankees, he's

178
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:05,691
through our program.
But on the Boston side.

179
00:07:05,691 --> 00:07:08,161
So, it's good to see him doing really
good.

180
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:10,730
Brad. Awesome. Is is one of the coaches.
Oh, yeah.

181
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:12,665
My buddy that I work with, Brian.

182
00:07:12,665 --> 00:07:14,200
They went to high school together.

183
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,136
Grew up together right down the street.
Yeah. Brad. Awesome. Cheshire or no.

184
00:07:17,136 --> 00:07:18,337
Yes. In Cheshire.

185
00:07:18,337 --> 00:07:21,240
And then Brian Leetch, hockey player
for the Rangers.

186
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,676
They all grew up together
right here in Cheshire. Yep.

187
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:24,210
Oh no way.

188
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:24,577
Now he's.

189
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:26,446
No he don't live there anymore
because he's

190
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,214
you know
he's out like Cape Cod or something.

191
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:29,749
You know because he's a goalie.

192
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:31,617
No he was a defender. Gotcha.

193
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:32,885
But Hall of Famer.

194
00:07:32,885 --> 00:07:33,453
Yeah.

195
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,922
Guy won the championship in 94 or 96.
Yeah.

196
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:38,024
One of those years I, you know,
I grew up in San Diego.

197
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:38,891
We have ice.

198
00:07:38,891 --> 00:07:41,527
Yeah, I love hockey, but now. So. Yeah.

199
00:07:41,527 --> 00:07:45,131
So I'm leaving here in like a week, but,
I'm, I'm usually here, like, all summer,

200
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:48,134
spring and summer. So,
I enjoy it up here.

201
00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:51,170
I it's, got great friends up here.

202
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,638
You know, I just and I fly.

203
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:55,441
I able to fly back and see my kids
whenever I want.

204
00:07:55,441 --> 00:07:55,808
My daughter

205
00:07:55,808 --> 00:08:00,446
travels around the country for soccer,
so I get to see her wherever she goes.

206
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:02,048
That's great. Nice.

207
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:02,582
That's great.

208
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:05,017
No, you gotta do whatever you can
for the kids.

209
00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:07,053
Oh, wait.

210
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:09,722
So you have a pit stop,
though. Two on your way?

211
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:12,391
Yes. Where you stop in Arkansas.

212
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:14,393
What brings you to, Kansas.

213
00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:15,561
It's Arkansas.

214
00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:17,730
No, my family's from there. Gotcha.

215
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:20,433
And then once I graduated high school,

216
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:24,170
maybe a year after, 
my mom and my stepdad, they moved back.

217
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:27,173
And then I have so two sisters
there with their families,

218
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:29,709
and I have some property there.

219
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:32,712
And I go there and fish,
and mom takes care of me.

220
00:08:32,712 --> 00:08:34,847
I get spoiled like a little mama's boy.

221
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:36,883
We go drinking and golfing.

222
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:41,821
And so it's a relaxing time because
they don't drink or nothing like that.

223
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:44,824
Or curse.
I gotta be careful. My language.

224
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:45,424
So it's,

225
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:47,426
It's a break.

226
00:08:47,426 --> 00:08:50,129
Let's put it that way.
Then I head back to California after that.

227
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:53,199
So, yeah, let's do a little compare
and contrast Venn diagram.

228
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,735
You got Arkansas Sandiego.

229
00:08:55,735 --> 00:08:57,003
Northeast.

230
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:59,505
What's some similarities and differences
here?

231
00:08:59,505 --> 00:09:02,542
I know the fishing
and the got to be Arkansas.

232
00:09:02,642 --> 00:09:05,411
I don't know about similarities
on any of it. Right.

233
00:09:05,411 --> 00:09:06,245
Those are traffic.

234
00:09:06,245 --> 00:09:08,848
Maybe for California and New York.

235
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:10,783
Yeah. You know, or on the 95 all time.

236
00:09:10,783 --> 00:09:13,219
It takes me 2.5 hours to get this Yankee
Stadium.

237
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,689
Arkansas is this chill?

238
00:09:17,189 --> 00:09:18,891
Nice. Really slow.

239
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:20,626
So if you can't handle the slowness

240
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:23,329
or you don't like the outdoors,
and it's probably not for you.

241
00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:25,631
California. Just expensive.

242
00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:27,133
Just like it is up here.

243
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,402
And you just.

244
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:32,872
The one thing I like
more about the Northeast and California

245
00:09:33,873 --> 00:09:34,240
is if

246
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,877
somebody has something on their mind here,
they're going to tell you,

247
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:41,414
yeah, California, they might hold it back
and tell somebody else here.

248
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,182
They just tell it to your face.
I mean, trust me,

249
00:09:43,182 --> 00:09:46,185
there was a one on one day,
but I don't care if I had three hits.

250
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:48,721
Somebody said I sucked every day.

251
00:09:48,721 --> 00:09:49,689
They just wanted your attention.

252
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,724
I'm like, It's New York, you know?

253
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:53,125
So it's cool.

254
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:56,462
I like it, but that's like Jersey,
you know, the tri state.

255
00:09:56,462 --> 00:09:57,363
So yeah.

256
00:09:57,363 --> 00:10:01,200
As an athlete you got to have thick
skin absorbing new hair no matter.

257
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,171
You know I've seen I've seen so many great
players, you know, very educated like

258
00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:08,941
a Stanford kid, a Vanderbilt kid or week
four, you know, really good schools

259
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:11,444
and northwestern.

260
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:14,547
And they really struggle
with failing in that mental part.

261
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:17,583
They already know
they're getting good jobs somewhere else.

262
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:20,820
And I think I saw some really,
really good players that kind of gave it

263
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:25,658
up too early because I came from nothing
and it was like just playing baseball.

264
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:28,060
So it's, but

265
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,263
New York's tough,

266
00:10:31,263 --> 00:10:33,766
so a lot of people don't don't like it.

267
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:35,468
Yeah. Like I loved it.

268
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:36,636
Yeah, I loved it.

269
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,639
Well, let's talk about September 1998.

270
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:44,043
I mean, if you could go back in time,
is that your time like at all times.

271
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:46,612
Favorite time?
I mean, obviously it was the children.

272
00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:47,313
Yeah. Right.

273
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:52,518
So I was pre kids just 26 and the mean

274
00:10:52,518 --> 00:10:56,122
the Yankees were doing so good
and I got called up four times a year.

275
00:10:56,756 --> 00:11:00,893
By the fourth time I called,
even the third time probably,

276
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:05,531
I was doing really good in triple
A, and I was playing every single day.

277
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:07,767
But that's the thing
people don't realize, like,

278
00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:10,803
if you're not playing every day,
it's super hard to hit these guys.

279
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:12,405
They're just too good.

280
00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:15,408
You need to play every day
and then it becomes a reaction.

281
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:18,811
But if you're playing once or twice
a week, you're going to struggle.

282
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,513
You know you're going to struggle.

283
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:24,984
So you see these guys hitting 200 to 40
and they're not playing every day.

284
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:28,120
It's because these guys are really nasty.

285
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,723
So it's a it's a tough business.

286
00:11:30,723 --> 00:11:32,591
It's a mental business.

287
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:36,562
They I don't think people realize fans
that the work that the guys put in,

288
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:39,665
you know, maybe a year
it comes really easy.

289
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:40,966
You know, some of those guys.

290
00:11:40,966 --> 00:11:43,402
But Bernie Williams,
he made it look pretty easy.

291
00:11:43,402 --> 00:11:45,337
But those guys are in the cage

292
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:48,607
early, work on their own,
doing and working on their own skill.

293
00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:52,111
And I think a lot of people don't
realize, like, I got to the field at 1230

294
00:11:52,611 --> 00:11:57,817
for a 7:00 game and because I needed to,
I wasn't that good of a baseball player.

295
00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:59,151
You know, I love football.

296
00:11:59,151 --> 00:12:01,654
I don't, I don't I really like baseball,
really tell the truth.

297
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:03,689
But I don't watch an.

298
00:12:03,689 --> 00:12:06,392
Exclusive here on the Fini.
Talk to friends. Saying I'm out of here.

299
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:09,495
And obviously everybody knows that,
you know, I love the Yankees.

300
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:13,199
I work, I do stuff at the stadium,
but I'm from San Diego.

301
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,601
I'm a diehard padre, diehard charger fan.

302
00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:17,002
Like, that's my blood.

303
00:12:17,002 --> 00:12:19,905
You know, I'm you're not going to take
that away from me.

304
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:21,073
Nice.

305
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,007
Jeez. So.

306
00:12:22,007 --> 00:12:24,176
Oh, let me shout out some sponsors
and there's a follow up.

307
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,011
So we're here at Direct Line Media.

308
00:12:26,011 --> 00:12:28,214
I want to thank Directly Media
for everything.

309
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:30,750
Dave's a wonderful person
and a good friend.

310
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:34,420
We got golf, law group,
Keating agency, insurance, people's bank,

311
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:38,424
Luna Pizza, The fix, RV, float, 41,
Sally and Bob's,

312
00:12:38,557 --> 00:12:42,428
Boom Boom Boom, New England security
and lock, New England security lock.

313
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,797
With that being said, three keys.

314
00:12:44,797 --> 00:12:46,832
What are three keys
that made you a great hitter?

315
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,036
Man, I wouldn't miss.

316
00:12:51,036 --> 00:12:52,171
They couldn't tell you.

317
00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:54,573
I really struggled on my teach kids.

318
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:57,910
Now, what's youth to professional? Yeah.

319
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:01,413
What I try to tell them,
I said okay, wanted to get loose,

320
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:04,016
but then we will work on our weaknesses.

321
00:13:04,016 --> 00:13:06,018
So I really had to work.

322
00:13:06,018 --> 00:13:07,386
I couldn't hit a fastball away.

323
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:10,022
That was one of my biggest problem.
I wouldn't let the ball travel.

324
00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:13,359
So I try to teach that now
with all the kids and.

325
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:15,561
Yeah, or even professional,
because I've been all over the place.

326
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:18,898
But, man, it the mind.

327
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:22,001
You can work on your mechanics
all the time you want, but

328
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:24,804
if you're not mentally set to like,

329
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,807
I own this pitcher or something,
you don't have that positive attitude.

330
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:29,441
Your comments die.

331
00:13:29,441 --> 00:13:32,645
You know, you're pretty much done
because I only got like, .25.

332
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:33,913
three seconds to decide

333
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:36,916
if it's a ball strike, what pitch it is,
and if you're swinging,

334
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:38,984
it becomes a reaction thing.

335
00:13:38,984 --> 00:13:40,352
And that's that's a mental thing.

336
00:13:40,352 --> 00:13:43,923
And so I think the mental part
I couldn't name three.

337
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:45,224
Yep. Mental.

338
00:13:45,224 --> 00:13:47,493
But the mental part is the most important
I think.

339
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:51,630
What about having legs
like tree trunks and a huge ass force?

340
00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:54,800
It's not a huge ass, it's big legs.

341
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,603
It makes my butt look better.
Oh, okay. Okay. No.

342
00:13:57,603 --> 00:13:59,972
Yeah, that was a that was a thing then.

343
00:13:59,972 --> 00:14:02,608
Sorry, mom, but that's from you. Did you,
did you squat?

344
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:03,375
Did you deadlift?

345
00:14:03,375 --> 00:14:04,710
That's those things. All right.

346
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:06,445
My life serious?

347
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:07,980
No football. Just football.

348
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:09,882
Wrestling. Baseball. Right.

349
00:14:09,882 --> 00:14:10,616
Is that where you got most.

350
00:14:10,616 --> 00:14:12,318
You feel bottom?

351
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:15,321
I always top like it doesn't matter
how strong you are.

352
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:16,989
Really?

353
00:14:16,989 --> 00:14:19,992
Bass speed and power comes from your hips.

354
00:14:19,992 --> 00:14:21,594
It generates power.

355
00:14:21,594 --> 00:14:26,732
And, so if they, you gotta work on your
swing first but then the hips come next.

356
00:14:26,932 --> 00:14:29,101
Yeah. If you can get your back
hip through the ball.

357
00:14:29,101 --> 00:14:30,736
I feel like you were. Low.
I mean you got it.

358
00:14:30,736 --> 00:14:33,038
Nobody's like Aaron Judge
where you're six eight and.

359
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:34,273
Yeah.

360
00:14:34,273 --> 00:14:36,775
But you watch it's hip. It's hip.

361
00:14:36,775 --> 00:14:38,744
He doesn't he's not swinging super hard.
Yeah.

362
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:40,112
Like turns and hip hips.

363
00:14:40,112 --> 00:14:41,847
It's it it's in

364
00:14:41,847 --> 00:14:44,917
the kids are getting taught like
to try to launch the ball up in the air.

365
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:47,853
And that's just not the way it is.
You gotta learn how to hit first.

366
00:14:47,853 --> 00:14:52,224
So no, I was I played every sport
there was besides basketball.

367
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:52,791
Obviously

368
00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:54,727
short white guy.

369
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:57,730
So not to me racist,

370
00:14:57,963 --> 00:15:00,032
but no, it's all good hockey.

371
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:01,233
So now I would love to play hockey.

372
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:03,702
I'm building hockey. Yeah. And well,
these guys are.

373
00:15:03,702 --> 00:15:06,205
You said you wrestle two, right?
I wrestled grown up.

374
00:15:06,205 --> 00:15:07,873
What was five one?

375
00:15:07,873 --> 00:15:08,741
In high school.

376
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:11,744
I wrestle anywhere from 56 is 85. Okay.

377
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:14,880
And now my son wrestled this year
or last year

378
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,016
as a freshman
because I want him to learn how to tackle.

379
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:20,152
He has legs,
and now he's six foot one, 75.

380
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:21,820
He's way bigger than I was.

381
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,856
So we'll see if he rustles again.

382
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:25,357
He said he never do it again.

383
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:27,126
It's a lot of work. It's a. Man's.

384
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:27,593
Wrestling.

385
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:30,796
And water polo to me
are the most physical sports.

386
00:15:30,796 --> 00:15:33,732
And you know our pool is huge.
Our where I'm from so gotcha.

387
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:35,401
It's conditioning.

388
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:37,803
It's it's it's very different.

389
00:15:37,803 --> 00:15:39,104
It's humbling.

390
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:41,941
The I love the wrestling
because I want him to get humbled

391
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,843
because he was one of the better
athletes. Yep.

392
00:15:44,843 --> 00:15:48,013
But someone's going to whip your ass. Yep.

393
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:49,882
And he got his ass whipped a few times.

394
00:15:49,882 --> 00:15:52,117
And he did not like it. So.

395
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:55,921
But it just teaches you like there's
somebody better than you out there.

396
00:15:56,088 --> 00:15:59,091
And so then you take it
to other sports and stuff.

397
00:15:59,091 --> 00:16:02,594
So it's, it's a, it's a great thing
for the wrestling part.

398
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:04,863
Nothing more humbling
and getting dunked on your head.

399
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:07,366
I get I'll play pool

400
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:10,369
for three hour boost like body slammed.

401
00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:11,537
Yeah. No getting.

402
00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:13,973
Yeah getting pumped is not fun.

403
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,976
Yeah.

404
00:16:17,276 --> 00:16:18,077
All right another game.

405
00:16:18,077 --> 00:16:22,147
So first last best worst.

406
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:25,084
Your first at bat or your first game.

407
00:16:25,084 --> 00:16:26,218
Your last game.

408
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:28,053
Your best game or your best at bat?

409
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:30,723
Your worst at bat. Can you remember?

410
00:16:30,723 --> 00:16:31,890
We'll pull up some video so.

411
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:34,193
I can remember all,

412
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:35,027
first at bat.

413
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:37,396
Yeah, I got booed.

414
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:39,431
Opening day, Yankee Stadium. Yep.

415
00:16:39,431 --> 00:16:40,165
We are on the road.

416
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:42,301
I got called up
because Chili Davis got hurt.

417
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:43,135
Yeah.

418
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:47,406
So, like, pinch
hitting for Darryl Strawberry.

419
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:50,843
Shane. Me.

420
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,378
So I get booed.

421
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:56,281
We're up by like five runs
guy throws a right down the middle.

422
00:16:56,281 --> 00:16:59,251
I'm like I'm
just like so tense and tight.

423
00:16:59,318 --> 00:17:02,888
10102 and then Bernie on first
he gets picked off.

424
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:04,957
At first I was the happiest ever.

425
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:06,625
We end of inning. Yeah.

426
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,763
So I officially had no a bat, okay.

427
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:12,631
And I didn't play for like,
two more weeks.

428
00:17:12,631 --> 00:17:14,700
Let me give it a chance.
I could have been.

429
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,235
I gave that.

430
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:17,302
Moonlight. Graham.

431
00:17:17,302 --> 00:17:20,039
Whoever was at Denver
got to play in the big leagues again.

432
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,006
We took a job.

433
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:22,541
I could have been the guy.

434
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,977
And then,

435
00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:26,945
first hit? Yeah. First hit.

436
00:17:26,945 --> 00:17:28,847
I was actually in Anaheim,

437
00:17:28,847 --> 00:17:32,951
and I pinch hit, and I had, like,
25 people in the stands from San Diego.

438
00:17:32,951 --> 00:17:35,821
Okay? And I got to pinch hit single.

439
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:37,856
And so that was pretty cool.
I got to sit down.

440
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:39,591
Give them a look, and, point to.

441
00:17:39,591 --> 00:17:41,827
I couldn't. See anything. Okay.

442
00:17:41,827 --> 00:17:42,494
How's that feel?

443
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:45,597
Your heart's racing
straight for the world.

444
00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:47,733
Like the first at bat when I.

445
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:50,469
When Bernie got picked off,
I was. It was race.

446
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:53,672
I was intense after that,
everything was fine.

447
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:55,474
I know
I played with these guys for so long.

448
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:57,376
It wasn't like I was a real rookie.

449
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:01,146
I mean, I got drafted with Mariano
in 1990.

450
00:18:01,146 --> 00:18:04,149
Carl Everett, rookie of the day,
Mike figure.

451
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:07,886
So we had like 5 or 6 guys on that team
that made it to the big leagues

452
00:18:07,986 --> 00:18:10,722
and rookie ball.
We're all 17, 18 years old.

453
00:18:10,722 --> 00:18:11,824
So what is it?

454
00:18:11,824 --> 00:18:14,093
I'm really nervous.
Only nervous on that. Really.

455
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:15,027
That matters one.

456
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:18,030
Yeah, not a bad favorite.

457
00:18:18,397 --> 00:18:20,365
The favorite ever

458
00:18:20,365 --> 00:18:23,368
1998 World Series in San Diego.

459
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:24,870
Playing against my Padres.

460
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:27,873
Playing
against Tony Gwynn, my favorite player.

461
00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:29,808
And he lined out to me.

462
00:18:29,808 --> 00:18:33,946
And for the second out in the first
inning, I'm playing left field

463
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,782
and we're just 70,000 people.

464
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,651
Our biggest stadium in baseball. Okay.

465
00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:42,387
And this is second out.
I just want to put up my pocket

466
00:18:43,722 --> 00:18:46,458
and I had to throw it back in. I'm,

467
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:47,426
That was your guy I got.

468
00:18:47,426 --> 00:18:48,827
That was
that was the highlight of my career.

469
00:18:48,827 --> 00:18:50,229
So I already played the World Series.

470
00:18:50,229 --> 00:18:53,432
I got called up in the big leagues,
got to play in the World Series.

471
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:56,869
But the highlight was me
catching the ball for Tony Gwynn.

472
00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:59,171
That was it. I was like,
what do you do from now?

473
00:18:59,171 --> 00:19:00,405
What do you do?

474
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:03,342
You've already done
everything you ever thought about doing.

475
00:19:03,342 --> 00:19:05,944
So that was my best high no.

476
00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:08,380
Worst highlights.

477
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,482
I mean there's too many.

478
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,617
Excuse me.

479
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:12,784
Well I tell you what.

480
00:19:12,784 --> 00:19:13,719
I got a picture of Mr.

481
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,121
Padre, Tony Gwynn, Mr.

482
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:16,955
Padre with the.

483
00:19:16,955 --> 00:19:20,259
Staff and his son is doing such a great
job as an announcer for the Padres now.

484
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:22,060
But I climbed on that for a picture.

485
00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:23,795
Probably one of the
worst things ever, though,

486
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:26,765
is striking out in Boston.

487
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:29,368
Oh, when George. Oh.

488
00:19:29,368 --> 00:19:30,802
Was sitting next to the dugout.

489
00:19:30,802 --> 00:19:33,805
And it's a long ass walk

490
00:19:33,872 --> 00:19:36,842
and you got to walk back, he says.

491
00:19:37,409 --> 00:19:39,845
The staring at you like
you are a piece of shit.

492
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:41,613
I think the last place
he wants you to strike.

493
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:44,650
I like it's friggin Pedro. Come on. Yeah.

494
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:45,951
No, it's like, come on.

495
00:19:45,951 --> 00:19:47,853
And you have multiple interactions
with George.

496
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,421
George Steinbrenner is a man.

497
00:19:49,421 --> 00:19:52,424
So awesome. Yeah, I moved to Tampa. Just.

498
00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:55,494
You can call brown nosing,

499
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:58,730
kiss ass whatever you want,
but I moved there, so I, I,

500
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:01,934
I knew his workout schedules when he was
going to be at the field working.

501
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:03,335
Now I was in his face.

502
00:20:03,335 --> 00:20:05,270
He's going to know who I work. Smart.

503
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:06,338
Because I'm a 28th round.

504
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:06,872
I'm not.

505
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:09,508
Job security. Mariano, not those guys.

506
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:14,613
So yeah, and moving there and and working
out there all winter and stuff. So

507
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:16,548
yeah, he's the man.

508
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,750
You got to do what you got to do.
Any funny.

509
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,552
Well besides the the look in Boston.

510
00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:22,688
Any other interactions with George. Yeah.

511
00:20:22,688 --> 00:20:23,222
Oh yeah.

512
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:26,825
He yelled at me one time and,
we're all getting ready for winter ball.

513
00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:28,660
I'm going to Venezuela.

514
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:32,331
Mike Lowell was with us,
and he's going to play fall ball,

515
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:35,400
and we had Alfonso Soriano.

516
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,370
So we had four of us,
and we're doing like bunting drills.

517
00:20:38,770 --> 00:20:41,240
And I was just there.

518
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,510
It's coming like 95 miles an hour off
a machine, 95 off a machine is like 103.

519
00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:47,613
It's coming. It's like boom.

520
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:49,748
And they couldn't get the bunts down.

521
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:52,484
So me and Mike, you know, we've
been doing it for a while with no problem.

522
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:54,486
So we're trying to
make him relax and stuff and

523
00:20:55,721 --> 00:20:58,724
or laughing, you know, or playing a game.

524
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:01,727
And he came over and blew me up.

525
00:21:01,827 --> 00:21:02,327
Blew me.

526
00:21:02,327 --> 00:21:05,931
Yet he goes, it's only fun when you win
and you win.

527
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:07,833
Did you win?

528
00:21:07,833 --> 00:21:09,668
And I'm like, well,
he did win the championship.

529
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:10,869
I didn't say it.

530
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:13,405
I'm like, yeah, we won the championship
with Florida State League,

531
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:15,107
but not the Yankees you know?

532
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:16,708
Yeah. Minor leagues.

533
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:18,010
He goes that's right.

534
00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:19,945
You didn't win hit.

535
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:22,681
And all the coaches you have four fields.

536
00:21:22,681 --> 00:21:25,417
The minor league plays
all the everybody's watch

537
00:21:25,417 --> 00:21:27,853
it I'm just getting blown up.

538
00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:31,290
And then he goes away and he's
look at the paper and he's looking to say.

539
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,027
And then he pulled me aside afterwards.

540
00:21:35,027 --> 00:21:38,030
And he goes, hey.

541
00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:40,932
I don't want you to have that much fun,
but I want you to have fun.

542
00:21:40,932 --> 00:21:43,201
I said, I was just trying
to help these kids out there.

543
00:21:43,201 --> 00:21:45,470
They're struggling.
He goes, I know you goes.

544
00:21:46,571 --> 00:21:49,574
It's only fun if you win the World Series.

545
00:21:49,608 --> 00:21:52,144
I said, I'm looking forward to it, boss.

546
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:56,882
And he's like, okay, you just make sure
you take care of these kids.

547
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:58,350
I'm like, all right, here we go.

548
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:01,920
And then his his wife used to come and
watch games in the Florida State League.

549
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,523
My mom just sit next to ours.
So it's pretty. Cool.

550
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:05,424
That's awesome. Yeah.

551
00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:07,426
The boss, the boss know he was the boss.

552
00:22:07,426 --> 00:22:08,760
I treated him. Great.

553
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,530
He really did.
We got so much stuff compared to other.

554
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:12,264
I talk to my buddies.

555
00:22:12,264 --> 00:22:15,267
I played for like the Cardinals
and exposed.

556
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:16,501
They didn't get crap.

557
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:17,803
We got new shoes.

558
00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:20,339
You know, we always had good stuff.
But now he was strict.

559
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:22,441
No facial hair like I have now.

560
00:22:22,441 --> 00:22:26,511
You know, collared shirts, tennis shoes,
no flip flops on, nothing.

561
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:28,680
Everybody, even he was very strict.

562
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,249
You're 20 minutes
early. You're late. Yeah.

563
00:22:31,249 --> 00:22:33,185
And I mean, that was he was that way.

564
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,654
And it was awesome. Loved him.

565
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:36,421
That's so cool.

566
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:39,524
First last best worst.

567
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:42,260
Did we hit them all?

568
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:44,396
Wow. Most the last.

569
00:22:44,396 --> 00:22:47,099
Yeah. Oh, this is a good one.

570
00:22:47,099 --> 00:22:49,801
My last hit in the major leagues.

571
00:22:49,801 --> 00:22:53,972
They didn't give me a hit for it, but
I was with the Mets playing the Yankees.

572
00:22:54,172 --> 00:22:59,644
Yep. And I hit a 30ft dribbler
down the right down the first base line.

573
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:03,115
And, Matsui scored for us
and was a walk off

574
00:23:03,448 --> 00:23:06,351
against my boys
I'm hanging out with Sunday.

575
00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:09,321
Monday Canyon starts
and I let him hear it all the time.

576
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:10,622
30ft dribbler.

577
00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:12,357
And I was pitching. At the time.
You hit it off.

578
00:23:12,357 --> 00:23:14,926
He was pitch. Oh, that's your boy.
You like seven split. He's in a row.

579
00:23:14,926 --> 00:23:15,460
And I couldn't see.

580
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:18,130
Was like Twilight and I could not see.

581
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:19,231
And I hit a little dribbler.

582
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:21,266
And then we walked Yankees off.

583
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,435
And that was my last spot
in the big leagues.

584
00:23:23,435 --> 00:23:26,371
That was it. I was the last one. Am. Yeah.

585
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:28,173
Yeah.

586
00:23:28,173 --> 00:23:28,840
You mentioned a lot.

587
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,010
You're like, I'm sure everyone asks,
how's it playing with Jeter?

588
00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:34,312
How is it playing with Darren Bragg?

589
00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:36,348
You know, Darren Bragg?
I never played with him. Never.

590
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,283
But I we work together, okay?

591
00:23:38,283 --> 00:23:39,985
We've done clinics together.

592
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:42,387
He's good friends with my buddy
Brian Looney. That works here.

593
00:23:42,387 --> 00:23:43,789
Okay, cool. That's my.

594
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:44,055
Yeah.

595
00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:46,425
Like my best friend's cousin. Yeah.

596
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,959
Oh, braggy special.

597
00:23:47,959 --> 00:23:48,660
Brag right here.

598
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:52,497
Played me with the,
we'll do with other boom Darren brag.

599
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:56,101
He's a, pompous ROG

600
00:23:56,234 --> 00:23:58,937
like, Woodbury Salisbury guy.

601
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:03,175
Yeah, but, played on a
there's a record 11 teams or 12 teams.

602
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:06,044
Is that true or false?
Well, he's played for a lot. Yeah.

603
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:07,045
All right, I thought I had.

604
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:10,248
You were down in 2001 World Series,
Darren Bragg, same roster.

605
00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:11,750
Wikipedia's shot.

606
00:24:14,252 --> 00:24:15,887
Was he there with us?

607
00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:16,655
It was.

608
00:24:16,655 --> 00:24:18,356
That's what the internet's telling me.

609
00:24:18,356 --> 00:24:21,359
He don't think he was on a
he wasn't on there.

610
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:23,595
Maybe during the season.

611
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:24,396
Maybe during the season.

612
00:24:24,396 --> 00:24:27,232
You were out there for a little. Bit
because the roster is the whole year now.

613
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:28,166
So up and down.

614
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:28,967
Yeah. Okay.

615
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,670
That makes sense
because I was nine, 11 year

616
00:24:31,670 --> 00:24:34,272
and we were in Arizona
and that was I was pretty crazy.

617
00:24:34,272 --> 00:24:37,275
So I got my 911 hat.

618
00:24:37,342 --> 00:24:39,077
Yeah,

619
00:24:39,077 --> 00:24:40,145
I had about three of them.

620
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:43,148
I still have two at my mom's house. Yeah.

621
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:45,183
That was I think.

622
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:48,420
I got the FDNY, so.
I remember where I was.

623
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,991
Luis Gonzalez had that dribbler,
although, pop.

624
00:24:53,291 --> 00:24:53,825
Yeah.

625
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:57,195
I was with New West in New Haven.

626
00:24:57,329 --> 00:24:57,729
Right on.

627
00:24:57,729 --> 00:25:02,801
Well, yeah, I was with my buddies, Jimmy
G. Doc, and we just couldn't believe it.

628
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:04,970
It went quiet. Try being in right field.

629
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:08,173
You know how I felt.

630
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:10,609
How did you feel?
It was a. Who felt worse?

631
00:25:10,609 --> 00:25:11,343
Mia, you.

632
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,044
Probably. You

633
00:25:13,044 --> 00:25:14,379
probably you you were there.

634
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:14,813
We actually.

635
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:15,747
You were on the field.

636
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,383
I was playing right field. Oh, yeah.

637
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:21,052
So it was,

638
00:25:21,052 --> 00:25:22,854
didn't hurt.

639
00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:24,689
Like we just won three in a row.

640
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:25,857
Yeah. So it didn't hurt.

641
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:28,527
But we shouldn't have been there.

642
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,161
We weren't even playing good baseball.

643
00:25:30,161 --> 00:25:33,465
Even going into the playoffs,
you know, going through all the 911 stuff.

644
00:25:33,498 --> 00:25:38,203
Yeah, it was very difficult the next,
you know, every national anthem you're

645
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:42,841
holding hands with policemen and firemen
and, you know, first responders.

646
00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:44,943
Everybody's crying.

647
00:25:44,943 --> 00:25:46,278
And now we're trying to go out there.

648
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:49,514
And the only reason we want to play
is for them.

649
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:51,416
Yeah, nothing to do with us.

650
00:25:51,416 --> 00:25:54,753
And then it's
probably the first time in U.S.

651
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:58,123
history where our country
was actually rooting for the Yankees.

652
00:25:58,123 --> 00:25:59,057
Yeah, I know.

653
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:02,427
And that kind of sheer propelled us into,
like, playing better

654
00:26:02,427 --> 00:26:04,362
because Seattle had a great year
that year.

655
00:26:04,362 --> 00:26:07,065
Oh yeah. And we somehow beat them.
The A's should have beat us.

656
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:10,468
We somehow beat them
like we shouldn't have been there.

657
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:13,605
And then we have three walk offs against
Arizona.

658
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:14,539
I mean, it was this.

659
00:26:16,107 --> 00:26:18,243
It just wasn't meant to be.

660
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:19,411
And we made it that far.

661
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:22,981
But you know but
and it's mo the best closer of all time.

662
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:25,283
He was like God, you know. Yeah.

663
00:26:25,283 --> 00:26:26,585
It just shows it.

664
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:28,853
Not everyone's perfect, I know.

665
00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:30,055
And he was pretty damn perfect.

666
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:31,489
And he was amazing.

667
00:26:31,489 --> 00:26:34,492
And then he tears his Achilles
and old timers right in front of me.

668
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:35,860
You were there for that, too?

669
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:38,229
Yeah. He was like shagging fly balls.

670
00:26:38,229 --> 00:26:38,797
Well, no.

671
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:41,633
So he actually, you know, I'm
talking about the old timers.

672
00:26:41,633 --> 00:26:43,034
But three weeks ago. Yeah.

673
00:26:43,034 --> 00:26:45,270
How did he go?
Oh, he's hitting right in front of me.

674
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,104
I mean, he's hitting third.

675
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:49,107
I'm in fourth and he hits a ball.

676
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:53,078
You got some pop up going around
first base and I'm Pettis pitching.

677
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:55,880
And I said hey Pettitte.

678
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,416
Just hold down the middle
I said most hurt his what?

679
00:26:58,416 --> 00:27:00,318
I said throw down man
I'm hit a double play

680
00:27:00,318 --> 00:27:02,220
I couldn't do that I popped up.

681
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:06,691
So and then he goes out to the outfield
and I got Clay Bellinger and a right.

682
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:09,694
And I'm in left
and Mo's in center in first ball.

683
00:27:09,694 --> 00:27:11,162
He tries to go for it and just snapped.

684
00:27:12,197 --> 00:27:14,432
So I just did his event last week

685
00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:18,570
and you know, he's on a boot and crutches
and the guy's in

686
00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:21,573
better shape than all of us,
and he blows in a crazy father.

687
00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:22,607
Time is undefeated.

688
00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:25,443
Because we don't get to be doing this
dumb stuff.

689
00:27:25,443 --> 00:27:26,611
We really don't. Yeah.

690
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:27,512
Let's go golf and fish.

691
00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:30,348
That's it, that's it.

692
00:27:30,348 --> 00:27:32,917
Do you know your stats for old timers
game?

693
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:34,986
Like how are you hitting?
What your average.

694
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:37,922
You hit home run.
Oh, you want to bet? Ever ever shoot.

695
00:27:37,922 --> 00:27:40,792
First time doing old timer. No.
So I'm like fourth or fifth.

696
00:27:40,792 --> 00:27:43,194
We this the first time they played in

697
00:27:43,194 --> 00:27:44,996
I think seven years
maybe something like that.

698
00:27:44,996 --> 00:27:47,866
Yeah. Yeah. Yankees. Nobody wants to play.

699
00:27:47,866 --> 00:27:49,567
Yankees are like,
the only team that does it still.

700
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:50,635
Right.

701
00:27:50,635 --> 00:27:51,436
Or maybe the Cardinals.

702
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:52,404
I don't know a lot of teams.

703
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:55,173
Can you actually have Old Timers Day
because they don't have enough players?

704
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:56,608
Good point. Good point. Yeah.

705
00:27:58,343 --> 00:27:59,778
Damn. Mo.

706
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:01,112
Yeah.

707
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:04,082
Oh, I want to bring up something
about my grandmother's favorite player.

708
00:28:04,482 --> 00:28:05,550
She was an 88.

709
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:08,553
In this picture.

710
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,090
She's wearing.

711
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:13,892
A matsui jersey.

712
00:28:13,892 --> 00:28:14,559
Oh, thanks.

713
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,594
I don't hate me.

714
00:28:16,594 --> 00:28:19,130
Grandma's favorite player.

715
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:20,031
Should we end the podcast?

716
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,367
You need a minute?
And I'm sorry. Only seven.

717
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:25,370
Yeah, that's pretty much
the end of my tenure in New York. So.

718
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:27,272
Matsui, she called him A26.

719
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:29,541
Great player,
great guy to see the next guy.

720
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:31,743
But you hit him home right? For the Mets.

721
00:28:31,743 --> 00:28:34,713
You said. No. No different message.

722
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:35,313
Different man.

723
00:28:35,313 --> 00:28:36,614
We had this thought.

724
00:28:36,614 --> 00:28:38,817
Yeah, I got your guy. Yeah. No.

725
00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:44,622
So when they were signing Matt Suey,
I was obviously coming off ACL surgery.

726
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,225
Played a little bit
the rest of the year. And then,

727
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:48,860
Daryl talked

728
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:53,064
about bringing him in, and I became a free
agent and saying, Cleveland.

729
00:28:53,198 --> 00:28:57,802
But he was like,
you know this guy from Godzilla, though?

730
00:28:58,136 --> 00:28:59,504
Yeah,

731
00:28:59,504 --> 00:29:00,805
I would take my salary.

732
00:29:00,805 --> 00:29:02,707
So, But still I.

733
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:02,907
Yeah.

734
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:06,010
And I've talked to him, we we,
I see him at the stadium quite a bit.

735
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:07,445
It's such a nice guy.

736
00:29:07,445 --> 00:29:10,281
Giant head, giant head.

737
00:29:10,281 --> 00:29:11,983
But he's a big guy for Japanese.

738
00:29:11,983 --> 00:29:14,018
No, you don't see the guy's that big.

739
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:15,420
Like I played over there for two years.

740
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:19,524
But yeah, you look at a Shohei
and you look at Matsui, they're like,

741
00:29:19,724 --> 00:29:22,861
those are big dudes for their Koreans
seem to be way

742
00:29:22,861 --> 00:29:25,830
bigger than the Japanese,
which I don't understand, but

743
00:29:26,731 --> 00:29:29,200
maybe it's a little Mongolian atmosphere.

744
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,004
What's up with confirm
or deny his, video collection?

745
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:35,340
Matsui, you ever hear.
I never played with him.

746
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:36,541
I saw. I don't want to talk about it.

747
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:38,309
That's right, that's right. Yeah.

748
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:41,913
What about confirm or deny
the Derek Jeter gift bag as denied.

749
00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:45,183
Okay, 100%.

750
00:29:45,183 --> 00:29:47,619
Interesting. I've only known since 1992.

751
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,187
I've never seen anything like that.

752
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:52,190
So if that's all B.S., hearsay.

753
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:55,760
I had a friend,
all girl school said it happened to her.

754
00:29:56,094 --> 00:29:59,197
I heard her
tell me 20 years before it came out.

755
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:02,433
She was like in New York.

756
00:30:02,433 --> 00:30:03,434
It happened to her twice.

757
00:30:03,434 --> 00:30:05,436
Jeter didn't even know that.

758
00:30:05,436 --> 00:30:07,772
He already gave her the spiel.

759
00:30:07,772 --> 00:30:08,740
Whisper in the air.

760
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:11,342
Meet around back limo

761
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:12,010
next morning.

762
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:13,845
Gift bag

763
00:30:13,845 --> 00:30:16,347
next week. Out again.

764
00:30:16,347 --> 00:30:17,115
She's the same girl.

765
00:30:17,115 --> 00:30:19,317
He doesn't realize it's the same girl.

766
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:20,051
Give you a smile.

767
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:21,920
Hard to believe he's really smart.

768
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,521
Okay. All right.

769
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:23,922
But then.

770
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:26,958
So I'm living with the people
I stay with out here.

771
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:30,862
Yep. Skipping in this, Falcon and Falcon.

772
00:30:31,429 --> 00:30:34,532
And I'm sitting there looking on
the fridge, and I see this girl.

773
00:30:34,532 --> 00:30:34,866
I'm like,

774
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:38,703
man, she looks really, really pretty.

775
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:39,504
Looks super familiar.

776
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:42,774
So I find the ass and they're,
you know, skips 81.

777
00:30:42,774 --> 00:30:44,809
She's 79. I think.

778
00:30:44,809 --> 00:30:47,512
And it actually was their their son Gary.

779
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:48,379
It was on his fridge.

780
00:30:48,379 --> 00:30:51,649
I said I know this girl somehow
not in a bad way.

781
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,285
And she goes, oh yeah, he's she's gay.

782
00:30:54,285 --> 00:30:55,653
Derek.

783
00:30:55,653 --> 00:30:57,856
So I asked Ann about it

784
00:30:57,856 --> 00:31:01,926
and she's like,
oh yeah, he does get a car service.

785
00:31:01,926 --> 00:31:04,095
And I said,

786
00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:05,897
I just need to know.

787
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:07,498
Gift basket. Yes.

788
00:31:07,498 --> 00:31:11,536
No. And they dated for a while and that's
how I actually knew her on the picture.

789
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:15,807
So if it did happen,
I didn't have any thing about it.

790
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:20,011
But there's somebody that actually did
dater and the family and.

791
00:31:20,445 --> 00:31:21,880
All right, you heard it here first.

792
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,749
Yeah. Legend I'm backing you up. Derek.

793
00:31:24,749 --> 00:31:25,283
The best.

794
00:31:26,484 --> 00:31:27,986
Can we get him on the podcast?

795
00:31:27,986 --> 00:31:30,822
I mean, he talks with friends.
He's got four. Girls. He's in trouble.

796
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:32,257
Girl. Dad. Karma.

797
00:31:32,257 --> 00:31:32,790
Yeah.

798
00:31:32,790 --> 00:31:33,124
Girl.

799
00:31:33,124 --> 00:31:36,127
Dad, maybe there was the gift
basket thing, I don't know. No.

800
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:38,162
That's great.

801
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:40,331
That's great. So who?

802
00:31:40,331 --> 00:31:44,369
Our model would be a good friend,
you know, give compliments, hold the door.

803
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:45,336
Be charitable.

804
00:31:45,336 --> 00:31:47,939
Who was, like, your guy?
Your hair has a magnet for you.

805
00:31:47,939 --> 00:31:50,942
As far as who's, like,
a good friend that you can lean on,

806
00:31:51,109 --> 00:31:54,112
in your playing days. Oh.

807
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,615
There's a lot, a lot of good guys.

808
00:31:57,615 --> 00:32:01,286
One of my best friends is actually
a scout with the Yankees, Tom Wilson.

809
00:32:01,552 --> 00:32:04,555
Came up the minor leagues, got traded,

810
00:32:04,622 --> 00:32:07,625
made it with the Blue Jays, Dodgers
and A's.

811
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:13,665
He's, you know, he actually
probably helped me out the most

812
00:32:14,899 --> 00:32:17,936
about actually training and work.

813
00:32:17,969 --> 00:32:19,804
This is like a ball.

814
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:22,006
And he.

815
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:22,707
We party.

816
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:25,710
Don't get me wrong, we party. But,

817
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,645
hey, we're going to the gym.

818
00:32:27,645 --> 00:32:29,247
You know,
even though I didn't really left way.

819
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:30,615
He's going to the gym.

820
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:33,351
We're going to be at the field this early.

821
00:32:33,351 --> 00:32:37,522
He's probably he probably helped me out
the most starting.

822
00:32:37,622 --> 00:32:39,290
And then you get to the major leagues.

823
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,559
You know everybody has families
and stuff like that.

824
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:43,494
So everybody's a little bit different.

825
00:32:43,494 --> 00:32:47,532
I can look at Paul Neal and Chili Davis
as far as like

826
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:50,768
how to understand video.

827
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:52,403
What what do you watch him on video.

828
00:32:52,403 --> 00:32:56,407
Understand chili chili Davis
was instrumental on some of those things.

829
00:32:56,407 --> 00:33:00,478
And watching
Bernie play was just stupid because he was

830
00:33:01,145 --> 00:33:03,748
it was too easy for him,
you know, smooth. So.

831
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:05,917
So he won the batting title
where you guys play 88.

832
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:08,052
Yeah, it was 98. Yep. Yeah.

833
00:33:08,052 --> 00:33:10,621
Awesome. With the guitar. He's amazing.

834
00:33:10,621 --> 00:33:11,689
He's good.

835
00:33:11,689 --> 00:33:13,891
He's a musician.
He just makes everything easy.

836
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:14,192
Yeah.

837
00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:17,795
So the last game
of the 93 98 season regular

838
00:33:18,896 --> 00:33:20,798
he hit, he got a hit.

839
00:33:20,798 --> 00:33:22,800
And that locked him up
for the batting title.

840
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,236
Oh. So he made that one. Play in a pit
in the Grand Slam. Why?

841
00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:28,406
He's on base and I'm coming around.

842
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,942
And all I could think about was Bernie.

843
00:33:30,942 --> 00:33:33,544
So I come around and I'm like,
they're all pumped up for me.

844
00:33:33,544 --> 00:33:35,480
And I'm like, dude, congratulations, dude.

845
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,749
Oh, he's like, what are you talking about?

846
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:39,617
Like, you hit the grand slam. Yeah, yeah.

847
00:33:39,617 --> 00:33:42,153
But I mean, around third,
I think there was a.

848
00:33:42,153 --> 00:33:45,490
I know, I know chili, chili was on,
Bernie was on.

849
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:46,524
I don't remember who else is on.

850
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:49,193
He had to clear the bases with Bernie.

851
00:33:49,193 --> 00:33:51,529
Yeah, well, they're always on base.

852
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:52,363
That's the thing.

853
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:54,499
So like, you're going to pitch to me
or they're going to pitch of

854
00:33:54,499 --> 00:33:56,401
Scarborough is hitting behind me.

855
00:33:56,401 --> 00:33:57,568
And this guy had a great year.

856
00:33:57,568 --> 00:34:00,171
Well, me and Scott
have done some events together.

857
00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:05,009
And he's talking about he didn't say
anything, but he ended up with 99 RBIs.

858
00:34:07,111 --> 00:34:08,813
Like three grand slams in nine days.

859
00:34:08,813 --> 00:34:09,947
Oh, and he's sitting behind me.

860
00:34:09,947 --> 00:34:12,650
So you're clearing the base
and I'm. Apologizing to him.

861
00:34:12,650 --> 00:34:14,052
Because he could have broke a.

862
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:15,987
Hundred
because he could out over 100 next.

863
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:18,556
You know he's getting paid more.
So I'm talking to him.

864
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:21,692
Like I'm killing you guys taking money
out of his pocket kind of friend.

865
00:34:21,692 --> 00:34:23,194
Are you hitting all these grand slams?

866
00:34:23,194 --> 00:34:26,197
I know in his life,
you know, he's great guy.

867
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:28,366
So is that the still the rookie record?

868
00:34:28,366 --> 00:34:29,867
Three grand slams?

869
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:30,835
It was in nine days.

870
00:34:30,835 --> 00:34:33,604
I don't know, nine days. Top of the world.

871
00:34:33,604 --> 00:34:35,706
I think it was like seven games.

872
00:34:35,706 --> 00:34:37,675
But nine days, something like that.

873
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:38,009
Oh yeah.

874
00:34:38,009 --> 00:34:40,511
It was like
every two days you hit on some stupid.

875
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:43,414
And I probably had a couple more chances.

876
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,283
That's how many guys are on base.

877
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:48,586
So what about Costas?

878
00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:51,055
Do you ever hear Costas
say you made a deal with the devil?

879
00:34:51,055 --> 00:34:52,590
Yeah. What's the deal with that?

880
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:54,325
He talked about it. Yeah, I said yeah.

881
00:34:54,325 --> 00:34:55,593
You put me in a slump after that.

882
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:57,495
Dude, you jinxed you.

883
00:34:57,495 --> 00:34:58,362
I don't know what he said.

884
00:34:58,362 --> 00:34:59,797
He thought it was you know.

885
00:34:59,797 --> 00:35:01,065
You're going back to some.

886
00:35:01,065 --> 00:35:02,733
Yeah, you're going back to normal.

887
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:04,569
Deal with the devil.
This guy was like, on.

888
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:06,070
One day you're going to go back to normal.

889
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:08,973
Yeah. Trust me,
I've heard it a thousand times.

890
00:35:08,973 --> 00:35:10,341
And then Sterling's calls.

891
00:35:10,341 --> 00:35:11,142
So if you

892
00:35:11,142 --> 00:35:14,312
if I pull up a home run, you rather
hear Sterling's call or Bob Costas call.

893
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:15,847
Bob Costas.

894
00:35:15,847 --> 00:35:17,148
Bob Costas go.

895
00:35:17,148 --> 00:35:19,517
Yeah. This is great.
This is a home run through.

896
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:20,785
Brings me gets me chills.

897
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,453
But John does a great job too.

898
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:24,655
Yeah,
I don't like the whole dispenser thing.

899
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:25,723
But you don't like that.

900
00:35:25,723 --> 00:35:27,024
If it is what it is.

901
00:35:27,024 --> 00:35:29,193
I know he's glad
you got something, I guess. What about.

902
00:35:30,328 --> 00:35:32,563
Oh, you
hit your first and second home run.

903
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:33,731
You went my first five.

904
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:34,932
My first start.

905
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:36,000
Think he's kidding?

906
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,736
Yeah. We'll pull that one up first.

907
00:35:38,736 --> 00:35:39,904
This is first home run.

908
00:35:39,904 --> 00:35:41,239
We're going to pull it up right here.

909
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,242
The fan is going to add it in after

910
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:45,109
Randy.

911
00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:47,678
Since that's what I add
fairly deep on the left field.

912
00:35:47,678 --> 00:35:50,581
How more is all the warning track lit.

913
00:35:50,581 --> 00:35:52,717
So Joe I came back in Joe toys.

914
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:55,720
Like if you're going to hit one,
don't make it controversial.

915
00:35:56,521 --> 00:35:59,524
That's what he said.

916
00:35:59,790 --> 00:36:00,925
If a guy faced the minor

917
00:36:00,925 --> 00:36:04,195
leagues, he's really good
and he'd do really hard.

918
00:36:04,195 --> 00:36:06,731
97 on the old guns.
But he threw me a slider.

919
00:36:06,731 --> 00:36:08,733
He always did the same thing
in the minor leagues. Like

920
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:10,501
he knew I could hear

921
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:13,504
his fastball, but then, like,
I won one pitch.

922
00:36:13,704 --> 00:36:16,707
He would always throw the slider
and it was.

923
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:19,544
Less,
you know, it was coming. On the scent.

924
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:19,877
On it.

925
00:36:19,877 --> 00:36:21,212
Yeah, I'm sitting on it.

926
00:36:21,212 --> 00:36:24,182
I'm like, oh my God,
it don't throw me a slider right here.

927
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,851
And he throws a slider. I'm like, oh.

928
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,052
That's the bomb.

929
00:36:28,052 --> 00:36:29,520
Yeah. The neck, the slider is the bomb.

930
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,055
It just went right underneath the top.

931
00:36:31,055 --> 00:36:34,058
That will take a 9 to 1 lead

932
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:38,596
change.

933
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:41,632
I mean, juice isn't going.

934
00:36:41,632 --> 00:36:43,701
The stadium had juice to save his walk.

935
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:45,970
Walking in the major leagues. For a shame.

936
00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:48,272
I don't think the stadium rocks
like this anymore. No.

937
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:48,906
There's this.

938
00:36:48,906 --> 00:36:50,341
This is the bomb. Yeah.

939
00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:53,311
It will be another home run for Shane.

940
00:36:53,311 --> 00:36:54,178
That was the slider.

941
00:36:54,178 --> 00:36:56,247
What a night for Shane Spencer.

942
00:36:56,247 --> 00:36:58,282
Five for five.

943
00:36:58,282 --> 00:36:59,283
Yeah, on the old guys.

944
00:36:59,283 --> 00:37:02,019
Be true.
Like I got sent down two days later.

945
00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:04,789
So you went five for five.

946
00:37:04,789 --> 00:37:07,158
I got another double the next day.

947
00:37:07,158 --> 00:37:10,161
And then Chili Davis was healthy
and I got sent down again.

948
00:37:10,261 --> 00:37:11,529
Am. Yeah.

949
00:37:11,529 --> 00:37:14,065
That must you're competitive spirit.

950
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:16,200
You're it's got it.

951
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,768
What's the feeling there.

952
00:37:17,768 --> 00:37:19,403
You're like damn what do I have to do.

953
00:37:19,403 --> 00:37:20,972
No you just dealt with it.

954
00:37:20,972 --> 00:37:21,706
I mean, I think you get

955
00:37:21,706 --> 00:37:25,243
a little bummed real quick,
but then like, they give you like 36 hours

956
00:37:25,810 --> 00:37:29,013
to, like, report,
you get a couple of days off,

957
00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:31,682
something like that, 36, 48 hours,
something like that.

958
00:37:31,682 --> 00:37:35,353
And, now I want to play every day.

959
00:37:35,353 --> 00:37:40,191
You know, I've been a backup player my
first 4 or 5 years in the minor leagues.

960
00:37:40,191 --> 00:37:42,126
I want to play.

961
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:45,129
So I showed up the very next day,
which is a funny story, is that

962
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:49,166
twice I got sent down,
so I got sent down three times that year

963
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:53,504
and twice were playing the Indians in.

964
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:55,072
Eric Wedge was the catcher.

965
00:37:55,072 --> 00:37:56,774
Ended up being the Cleveland injury.

966
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:58,142
My manager. Yeah.

967
00:37:58,142 --> 00:38:01,912
So he first pitch right in the ribs

968
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:05,983
every time purpose of 100%.

969
00:38:05,983 --> 00:38:07,718
And what was the reason.

970
00:38:07,718 --> 00:38:08,919
Welcome back to the minor.

971
00:38:08,919 --> 00:38:11,389
So that's the way the Triple-A is.

972
00:38:11,389 --> 00:38:12,423
That's the way it was back that.

973
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:13,924
Oh because oh okay.

974
00:38:13,924 --> 00:38:16,527
So you
oh you think you're Mr. Cool actually.

975
00:38:16,527 --> 00:38:19,530
So then when I, when Matt Suey comes

976
00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:22,366
I actually I have the brewer,

977
00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:25,903
I have like 3 or 4 teams talking to me
and I don't know which one.

978
00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:31,575
I know the Brewers offered me more money,
but Eric Wedge calls me and he goes,

979
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:32,643
you remember me?

980
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:35,646
I said, yeah, catcher,
you drilled me every friggin time.

981
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,948
He goes out of respect.

982
00:38:37,948 --> 00:38:40,284
But yeah, welcome back to the League.

983
00:38:40,284 --> 00:38:42,953
He goes, but you had 36 hours. 48 hours.

984
00:38:42,953 --> 00:38:46,791
He goes, you played the very same day
you got off the flight.

985
00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:49,560
He goes, that's the kind of guy
one of my teammates I did your.

986
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,594
I signed the contract.

987
00:38:50,594 --> 00:38:52,697
Right now I'm playing for you Eric Wedge.

988
00:38:52,697 --> 00:38:53,764
Like let's go.

989
00:38:53,764 --> 00:38:56,500
Yeah that's what I want.
I'm like let's go.

990
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:57,134
That's awesome.

991
00:38:57,134 --> 00:39:00,137
So so he drills you
I understand you. Yeah.

992
00:39:00,438 --> 00:39:03,240
So then nothing in the head just.

993
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,742
And the catcher calls that in.

994
00:39:04,742 --> 00:39:06,577
He did well back then you did. You know.

995
00:39:06,577 --> 00:39:09,480
Now they do everything from the dugouts
and stuff like that.

996
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,350
We didn't do anything like that.
You take care of yourselves.

997
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:16,320
Back in the minor leagues, when we played
so big fights, it was great.

998
00:39:16,821 --> 00:39:18,222
Bam! It was fine.

999
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:20,024
Yeah.

1000
00:39:20,024 --> 00:39:23,861
You're, And then you're coaching now
or your coach, and then everywhere

1001
00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:26,197
you got ejected a couple times
you didn't leave.

1002
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:28,299
Well, like, that was hilarious.

1003
00:39:28,299 --> 00:39:29,867
They're like, oh, you. Saw that one?

1004
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:31,335
You're like, I'm not leaving.

1005
00:39:31,335 --> 00:39:33,237
You're like, waiting for that.

1006
00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:33,938
Yeah.

1007
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:35,806
Patriots. Somerset. Patriots. Yeah.

1008
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,608
Because a guy hit a foul.

1009
00:39:37,608 --> 00:39:40,811
It went off the wall 30ft.

1010
00:39:40,811 --> 00:39:42,279
Fair.

1011
00:39:42,279 --> 00:39:44,115
And I chucked my helmet.

1012
00:39:44,115 --> 00:39:47,051
Yeah. And I said I am not leaving.
I don't care what you guys do mean.

1013
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:48,686
It's in a pinball. Like. Yeah.

1014
00:39:48,686 --> 00:39:54,525
Even though I got kicked out about 4 or 5
times in Somerset, it was in a pinball.

1015
00:39:54,692 --> 00:39:56,093
And then when I started running

1016
00:39:56,093 --> 00:39:59,296
the Korean League
or minor league system over there,

1017
00:39:59,964 --> 00:40:04,201
the first time I went out to yell
at the umpire, I need a translator.

1018
00:40:05,035 --> 00:40:05,703
If, like Turner, I'm

1019
00:40:05,703 --> 00:40:08,839
yelling, yelling out in the translator,
I turn around, there's no translator,

1020
00:40:09,707 --> 00:40:13,210
you know, he's bam, he's behind the dugout
squatting and having a snag.

1021
00:40:13,778 --> 00:40:15,212
So I'm like,

1022
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:18,349
okay,
I'm never I'm never going out there again.

1023
00:40:18,349 --> 00:40:19,483
You know, I'll talk to the umpires

1024
00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:21,218
before the game or something like that,
you know?

1025
00:40:21,218 --> 00:40:24,822
So I learned how to calm down
when I went to Korea,

1026
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:27,825
because I get intense when I think,

1027
00:40:27,992 --> 00:40:30,494
you know, if a guy beats out a ball
and he's already step by the bag

1028
00:40:30,494 --> 00:40:33,130
and you call him out
because these guys are like weekend

1029
00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:36,133
umpires, I said, these guys are playing
for their livelihood.

1030
00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:38,502
Like, it's these guys.

1031
00:40:38,502 --> 00:40:39,637
It irritates me.

1032
00:40:39,637 --> 00:40:40,337
You know?

1033
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:41,372
It's their job.

1034
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:44,375
So I get fired up.

1035
00:40:44,508 --> 00:40:46,977
And you were still rocking number 47.

1036
00:40:46,977 --> 00:40:49,747
Only time I never had 47 was with the Mets

1037
00:40:49,747 --> 00:40:52,750
because there was guys kind of decent.

1038
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:54,985
Tom Glavine

1039
00:40:54,985 --> 00:40:55,653
who's pretty good.

1040
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:58,689
He's I yeah I wasn't going to ask him
like you know I'll give you like a.

1041
00:40:58,889 --> 00:41:01,192
Great Tom Tom Seaver, Tom Glavine.

1042
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,294
Glavine Glavine. Yeah.

1043
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:04,995
So he was there. He was 47.

1044
00:41:04,995 --> 00:41:06,096
So that was the only year.

1045
00:41:06,096 --> 00:41:08,232
And that I was number 47.

1046
00:41:08,232 --> 00:41:10,134
Where'd that come from? Why 47.

1047
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:13,504
So when you get called up
they give you your spring training number.

1048
00:41:14,305 --> 00:41:14,905
So I was like

1049
00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:17,675
upper 60s I don't remember what it was.

1050
00:41:17,675 --> 00:41:19,410
I don't say

1051
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:21,679
the number, but

1052
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:22,880
So they kept that one. Yeah.

1053
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,850
You know, now I was over four

1054
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:28,886
with an RBI
and I got so when I got called up

1055
00:41:28,886 --> 00:41:32,022
the next time, there was this one guy
that was pretty good.

1056
00:41:32,022 --> 00:41:34,892
He took or no, I got called up again.

1057
00:41:34,892 --> 00:41:37,895
I was 26 over to sit down

1058
00:41:38,229 --> 00:41:41,232
where I got called back up again,
like third time

1059
00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:44,969
this guy al Duca took over 26.

1060
00:41:44,969 --> 00:41:47,004
So the next year I was 47.

1061
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:48,873
And then I got a hit my first back.

1062
00:41:48,873 --> 00:41:51,242
And I was it. Like it stuck.
That's how it happened.

1063
00:41:51,242 --> 00:41:56,247
And then the Yanks, you know, every number
is retired up until 46, but practically.

1064
00:41:57,047 --> 00:41:58,682
And probably 5102.

1065
00:41:58,682 --> 00:42:00,184
51 yeah, yeah.

1066
00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:02,553
Yeah. No,
it's gotta be 99, you know. Yeah,

1067
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:04,355
yeah.

1068
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:07,291
Well, when you walk down a suite,
you know, in a suite area where I do

1069
00:42:07,291 --> 00:42:10,327
a lot of events, every number has a plaque

1070
00:42:11,362 --> 00:42:13,731
and it hits all the players
that have had that number.

1071
00:42:13,731 --> 00:42:16,233
Oh that's cool.
Yeah. What do you get the minors like?

1072
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:19,770
It was like 45 numbers,
45 people on there.

1073
00:42:19,770 --> 00:42:22,139
But you get like the good people. Yeah.

1074
00:42:22,139 --> 00:42:24,542
It was like three, four, five.

1075
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:25,075
We go.

1076
00:42:25,075 --> 00:42:27,011
So yeah this is a popular number.

1077
00:42:27,011 --> 00:42:28,479
Where am I in over here.

1078
00:42:28,479 --> 00:42:31,482
So no, it's all good.

1079
00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:36,854
A couple more confirm or denies
who had the first home run back after 911?

1080
00:42:37,187 --> 00:42:40,190
I saw multiple reports. It was, you know.

1081
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:41,759
It was.

1082
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:44,161
We went back to back to back.

1083
00:42:44,161 --> 00:42:46,664
I think. I think it was.

1084
00:42:48,666 --> 00:42:51,835
I think it was Soriano, actually.

1085
00:42:51,869 --> 00:42:52,303
Okay.

1086
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:52,970
Posada.

1087
00:42:52,970 --> 00:42:55,773
Me now, I went back to back with Posada.

1088
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:58,576
I know that. The first game back
after 9:00. In Chicago.

1089
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:01,211
Nice. Yeah.
What about back at Yankee Stadium?

1090
00:43:01,211 --> 00:43:02,346
I don't remember, okay.

1091
00:43:02,346 --> 00:43:05,349
No, I probably wasn't playing.

1092
00:43:06,317 --> 00:43:08,419
Then confirm or deny.

1093
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:11,255
Did you call a radio station
about steroids?

1094
00:43:11,255 --> 00:43:13,524
That's on Wikipedia.
That's the guy got fired.

1095
00:43:13,524 --> 00:43:15,559
Okay. Was it the fan?

1096
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:16,193
Was it good?

1097
00:43:16,193 --> 00:43:17,494
Albany. Albany?

1098
00:43:17,494 --> 00:43:17,895
Yeah.

1099
00:43:17,895 --> 00:43:20,898
So I was coming back coaching in Somerset

1100
00:43:21,298 --> 00:43:23,567
and I had an interview with them. Yep.

1101
00:43:23,567 --> 00:43:26,403
Just do like a podcast
like we're doing now. Yep.

1102
00:43:26,403 --> 00:43:31,275
And we had we had a played
a doubleheader in Maryland.

1103
00:43:31,675 --> 00:43:35,145
So we're driving back to Somerset
and I emailed them and said, hey,

1104
00:43:35,579 --> 00:43:37,147
there's no way I can do it.
They want to do it

1105
00:43:37,147 --> 00:43:39,783
like 8:00 in the morning.
We're not getting back up 430.

1106
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:40,718
It's not happening.

1107
00:43:40,718 --> 00:43:44,922
I said, well, and then we have
another doubleheader in Somerset. Yep.

1108
00:43:45,155 --> 00:43:48,926
So I end up, I don't site.

1109
00:43:48,959 --> 00:43:50,694
I never got an email back.

1110
00:43:50,694 --> 00:43:51,128
Apparently.

1111
00:43:51,128 --> 00:43:52,763
They took a call

1112
00:43:52,763 --> 00:43:55,265
and guy talked for 20 minutes
talking about steroids,

1113
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:56,533
and so I didn't know anything about it.

1114
00:43:56,533 --> 00:44:01,538
We played our doubleheader and then a guy
I knew from a bar, he's a dude.

1115
00:44:01,538 --> 00:44:03,507
I'm so proud of you
for coming clean. I'm like, what?

1116
00:44:04,508 --> 00:44:07,144
What are you talking about?

1117
00:44:07,144 --> 00:44:09,213
So I listen to it and I'm freaking.

1118
00:44:09,213 --> 00:44:10,381
I'm like, I mean.

1119
00:44:10,381 --> 00:44:13,017
Oh damn. I'm hurting now.

1120
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:16,520
I'm calling Yankee Clubhouse
because I'm listening to the whole thing.

1121
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,523
So I'm Conner Jeter, A-Rod, these guys
make.

1122
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:22,860
And Jeter said, he's like, he's like,
I know that wasn't your voice.

1123
00:44:22,860 --> 00:44:24,061
I said, it doesn't matter, dude.

1124
00:44:24,061 --> 00:44:27,031
It's like it's accusing you. It's thrown.

1125
00:44:27,264 --> 00:44:27,831
It's everybody.

1126
00:44:27,831 --> 00:44:31,068
The guy tried to do an Arkansas
country voice or what did you try to do,

1127
00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:33,904
just talk normal? Nothing.
Nothing like you.

1128
00:44:33,904 --> 00:44:38,442
Nothing like me and the guy, they just
let him on the air for 23 minutes.

1129
00:44:38,442 --> 00:44:39,410
I think it was.

1130
00:44:39,410 --> 00:44:42,680
And then, the.
That's the guy that got it.

1131
00:44:42,746 --> 00:44:43,714
Yeah. Journalism.

1132
00:44:43,714 --> 00:44:46,917
And then I'm getting fired,
and he just, like, apologized to me.

1133
00:44:46,917 --> 00:44:48,652
Can you help me?
I'm like, I'm not helping you.

1134
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:51,355
Like, screw you, dude.

1135
00:44:51,355 --> 00:44:52,556
Just ruin me.

1136
00:44:52,556 --> 00:44:55,292
I hadn't slept in three days
because of this.

1137
00:44:55,292 --> 00:44:57,461
So what year was that?

1138
00:44:57,461 --> 00:45:00,464
I was in Somerset, so I had to be okay

1139
00:45:00,964 --> 00:45:02,700
12 years ago or 13 years.

1140
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,135
Okay, so way up playing a Jeter. Neymar.

1141
00:45:05,135 --> 00:45:05,936
They were still. Playing.

1142
00:45:05,936 --> 00:45:07,337
Well they were playing
but they were playing.

1143
00:45:07,337 --> 00:45:08,572
So maybe 15 years ago.

1144
00:45:08,572 --> 00:45:10,207
Gotcha. It's been that long already.

1145
00:45:10,207 --> 00:45:12,609
Who. Geez okay.

1146
00:45:12,609 --> 00:45:14,378
Yeah that was tough.

1147
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:14,945
It was really tough.

1148
00:45:14,945 --> 00:45:18,048
So I had to
I call the Somerset Patriots media guy

1149
00:45:18,615 --> 00:45:20,818
and he had to get out
in front of everything.

1150
00:45:20,818 --> 00:45:22,586
And I'm like, good.

1151
00:45:22,586 --> 00:45:23,387
They don't even like that.

1152
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:25,089
I had no phone call.
I mean, it was brutal.

1153
00:45:25,089 --> 00:45:26,690
It sucked.

1154
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:28,492
So that sucks. It.

1155
00:45:28,492 --> 00:45:30,094
Did another confirm or deny

1156
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:34,431
your throw from
right would have it gotten to the catcher?

1157
00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:36,366
I believe so, but I can't prove it.

1158
00:45:36,366 --> 00:45:37,701
I have lots of video.

1159
00:45:37,701 --> 00:45:40,671
Yeah, that would have been it
sort of says yes.

1160
00:45:40,671 --> 00:45:42,940
We're talking about the Jeter flip. Yes.

1161
00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:43,741
The flip.

1162
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:45,876
You were the guy that threw that.
That's amazing.

1163
00:45:45,876 --> 00:45:46,477
The flip.

1164
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:49,480
There's all kinds
of little quirks in there.

1165
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:50,781
Did you only know that one show?

1166
00:45:50,781 --> 00:45:52,382
Did you overthrow the cutoff?

1167
00:45:52,382 --> 00:45:54,618
Where was the cutoff? Here is what.

1168
00:45:54,618 --> 00:45:57,621
Let's hear it. Yeah. Players say

1169
00:45:57,721 --> 00:45:58,889
so. The game's going so fast.

1170
00:45:58,889 --> 00:46:00,691
We only have two hits.
Besides hit a home run.

1171
00:46:00,691 --> 00:46:02,693
I hit a double only twice.

1172
00:46:02,693 --> 00:46:05,129
We had the whole game.

1173
00:46:05,129 --> 00:46:06,196
Machine is dealing.

1174
00:46:06,196 --> 00:46:08,165
Zito is dealing. It's got. It's a games.

1175
00:46:08,165 --> 00:46:09,032
It's super fast.

1176
00:46:09,032 --> 00:46:09,466
Oh, yeah.

1177
00:46:09,466 --> 00:46:12,069
So now sudden
that ball gets hit down the line.

1178
00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:15,072
And Tino Martinez is like he's like dude.

1179
00:46:15,205 --> 00:46:18,208
All right I really didn't
realize you're in right field.

1180
00:46:18,675 --> 00:46:19,710
I thought O'Neil was out there.

1181
00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:22,579
I thought I was going all over the wall
because I cut it off before.

1182
00:46:22,579 --> 00:46:22,813
Gosh.

1183
00:46:22,813 --> 00:46:26,350
Oh, I turn around and just chucked it
where I would normally throw it

1184
00:46:27,317 --> 00:46:30,220
a little stronger than I thought,
but they were out a little bit further.

1185
00:46:30,220 --> 00:46:34,858
So the whole thing is Jeter
seeing them go out a little bit far.

1186
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:38,095
He just started floating over
because he saw it.

1187
00:46:38,095 --> 00:46:40,531
And we, toric says.

1188
00:46:40,531 --> 00:46:41,865
We practice that stuff.

1189
00:46:41,865 --> 00:46:45,702
He'd never practice that stuff
out of the mind now, he was practice it

1190
00:46:46,370 --> 00:46:49,373
like, come on, you know,
that's amazing stuff.

1191
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:50,874
That's a great, great play.

1192
00:46:50,874 --> 00:46:51,842
It's a great play by Jeter.

1193
00:46:51,842 --> 00:46:54,812
But yes, sort of said
it would have made it.

1194
00:46:55,379 --> 00:46:56,413
We'll never know.

1195
00:46:56,413 --> 00:46:57,648
So I got an overthrow.

1196
00:46:57,648 --> 00:46:59,583
He got an SB. It's all good.

1197
00:46:59,583 --> 00:47:01,185
Oh he got the SB for that. Yeah.

1198
00:47:01,185 --> 00:47:02,352
You should get the assist.

1199
00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:04,188
I didn't even get invited.

1200
00:47:04,188 --> 00:47:06,123
Yeah. Did he shout you out at least? No.

1201
00:47:06,123 --> 00:47:07,591
Nice pass.

1202
00:47:07,591 --> 00:47:09,092
No, that's an assist.

1203
00:47:09,092 --> 00:47:11,461
We got our own history, Tino.

1204
00:47:11,461 --> 00:47:13,697
So Tino went out a little farther,
thinking.

1205
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:14,865
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

1206
00:47:14,865 --> 00:47:16,900
Did he think O'Neill
was going to kick it to him?

1207
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:18,569
Because I know
O'Neill likes to kick the ball.

1208
00:47:20,938 --> 00:47:22,706
Only if he was over 2 or 2 KS.

1209
00:47:22,706 --> 00:47:25,409
No, O'Neill is awesome, man,
I love it. I'm looking.

1210
00:47:25,409 --> 00:47:26,743
I'm in left field. He's is right field.

1211
00:47:26,743 --> 00:47:30,681
I love staring at him and he's over there
working on his leg kick.

1212
00:47:32,249 --> 00:47:34,618
I'm like, you're the most fired up player
you ever played with.

1213
00:47:34,618 --> 00:47:35,619
Oh, he was intense.

1214
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:38,622
Yeah, he's.

1215
00:47:40,858 --> 00:47:42,159
Him and Milton Bradley

1216
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:45,929
or the private too
Milton had some some issues, but

1217
00:47:46,463 --> 00:47:49,466
one of my favorite players to play with
and people don't realize scheming

1218
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:51,602
he was he and spunk he had.

1219
00:47:51,602 --> 00:47:53,670
He went through a lot of stuff as a kid.

1220
00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:54,404
Oh okay.

1221
00:47:54,404 --> 00:47:58,141
Like bad and like parents kinda managed.

1222
00:47:58,141 --> 00:47:59,042
Yes. Yep.

1223
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:01,511
Like stepdad for lot like stuff like that.

1224
00:48:01,511 --> 00:48:05,549
And so he went through some hard times
and but one of the nicest

1225
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:06,283
guys we'll ever meet.

1226
00:48:06,283 --> 00:48:09,286
But you can't see it
because when he flips out, he flips out.

1227
00:48:09,753 --> 00:48:11,822
But like, I still talk him on Facebook.

1228
00:48:11,822 --> 00:48:14,491
I mean, like he's
one of my favorite players to play with.

1229
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:16,894
Yeah, but people don't see that side.

1230
00:48:16,894 --> 00:48:18,428
Oh I see what's on TV.

1231
00:48:18,428 --> 00:48:20,063
Yeah, but O'Neil, he does it.

1232
00:48:20,063 --> 00:48:22,733
He lets it out there too,
when he's like the nicest guy.

1233
00:48:22,733 --> 00:48:26,536
Like Paul O'Neill chant at Yankee Stadium
are the best.

1234
00:48:26,536 --> 00:48:29,206
The loudest I've ever heard it.
You were there for that, too.

1235
00:48:29,206 --> 00:48:31,008
Oh, I was, I was crying now, field.

1236
00:48:31,008 --> 00:48:32,242
I was in left field.

1237
00:48:32,242 --> 00:48:33,310
For the Paul Neil chant.

1238
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:34,311
Yeah.

1239
00:48:34,311 --> 00:48:37,314
His last game ever in the playoffs 2001.

1240
00:48:37,314 --> 00:48:38,115
Come on.

1241
00:48:38,115 --> 00:48:41,485
I was in I was in left field
just like goosebumps and like.

1242
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:43,453
Choked.

1243
00:48:43,453 --> 00:48:44,955
So it was amazing.

1244
00:48:44,955 --> 00:48:47,524
Oh, I'm getting good score for you.

1245
00:48:47,524 --> 00:48:48,558
Oh, me too loud.

1246
00:48:48,558 --> 00:48:49,559
He was getting teary.

1247
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:51,662
I mean,

1248
00:48:51,662 --> 00:48:54,831
for him to get teary eyed is
it was a chance.

1249
00:48:54,831 --> 00:48:57,768
You know I'm listening right there.

1250
00:48:57,768 --> 00:49:00,337
Let's go. Yeah, I was amazing.
That was like.

1251
00:49:00,337 --> 00:49:01,138
Yeah.

1252
00:49:01,138 --> 00:49:04,207
Like, I think it was a lot
I I've ever heard at Yankee Stadium.

1253
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:07,678
That's how like it was just echoing
through there.

1254
00:49:07,678 --> 00:49:09,846
Like the buzz
the old Yankee Stadium set above.

1255
00:49:09,846 --> 00:49:11,081
Oh yeah.

1256
00:49:11,081 --> 00:49:12,549
Oh there a tune.

1257
00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:12,883
It's.

1258
00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:15,152
I don't know what it is
either. Electricity.

1259
00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:16,153
Yeah.

1260
00:49:16,153 --> 00:49:17,254
It just gone feel like.

1261
00:49:17,254 --> 00:49:19,556
Oh, yeah, it was cool.

1262
00:49:19,556 --> 00:49:23,126
I like I always felt that at Wrigley,
that's the only other place

1263
00:49:23,126 --> 00:49:24,795
I felt a little bit something like that.

1264
00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:27,798
The old Yankee Stadium was by far
the the best.

1265
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:30,267
Rig the metal balls or held it in.

1266
00:49:30,267 --> 00:49:32,836
I don't know, it's
just energy on your shoes.

1267
00:49:32,836 --> 00:49:34,838
The fans. Yeah. Yeah.

1268
00:49:36,306 --> 00:49:37,441
Another confirm or deny.

1269
00:49:37,441 --> 00:49:40,711
Did you threw out Womack in the World
Series.

1270
00:49:40,877 --> 00:49:43,580
Great throw. Great pick by Posada.

1271
00:49:43,580 --> 00:49:46,450
So did he have it in his glove hand
or is his other hand.

1272
00:49:46,450 --> 00:49:47,451
In his hand.

1273
00:49:47,451 --> 00:49:48,819
Did did he tag he.

1274
00:49:48,819 --> 00:49:51,421
Yeah. Tag him.

1275
00:49:51,421 --> 00:49:51,989
No I'm kidding.

1276
00:49:51,989 --> 00:49:54,758
There's replay I. Saw it I know I was
he was out.

1277
00:49:54,758 --> 00:49:57,961
That was a nice toss on the Mannings
and Womack is.

1278
00:49:58,428 --> 00:50:00,897
It was one of the faster
guys in the league.

1279
00:50:00,897 --> 00:50:02,532
Whatever. What other defensive play.

1280
00:50:02,532 --> 00:50:04,534
Yeah I almost.
I think I separated my shoulder.

1281
00:50:04,534 --> 00:50:04,801
Dude.

1282
00:50:04,801 --> 00:50:05,369
That hard.

1283
00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:09,072
No because friggin like a high five.

1284
00:50:09,072 --> 00:50:10,540
I mean I'm just rip my arm off.

1285
00:50:10,540 --> 00:50:13,810
Oh can I see actually knock Womack down to

1286
00:50:14,711 --> 00:50:17,447
he like, bumped up
and knocked him down again.

1287
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:19,616
Oh. Duke is like one of the best athletes
ever been around.

1288
00:50:19,616 --> 00:50:21,785
With the high leg kick is amazing.

1289
00:50:21,785 --> 00:50:22,953
Where is he from?

1290
00:50:22,953 --> 00:50:25,355
Is he from Cuba? Cuba? Yeah. It's right.

1291
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:26,156
And he had a brother too.

1292
00:50:26,156 --> 00:50:28,458
So I we do golf events together.

1293
00:50:28,458 --> 00:50:29,459
He picked up golf like

1294
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:31,628
eight years ago.

1295
00:50:31,628 --> 00:50:33,730
You know like within two years
he was a six.

1296
00:50:33,730 --> 00:50:35,966
And now he's almost a scratch.

1297
00:50:35,966 --> 00:50:37,401
Like he's a freak.

1298
00:50:37,401 --> 00:50:38,335
We go down a fantasy.

1299
00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:41,338
Can we have Homer Bush my guy go

1300
00:50:41,571 --> 00:50:44,574
Bucky Dent Charlie Hayes,

1301
00:50:44,708 --> 00:50:46,710
he play shortstop.

1302
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:48,412
Oh, Duke play shortstop. He's a no no.

1303
00:50:48,412 --> 00:50:50,580
I got it like he's a freak.

1304
00:50:50,580 --> 00:50:52,883
I let off and he looks the same.

1305
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:54,251
He stuff.

1306
00:50:54,251 --> 00:50:55,252
35 right.

1307
00:50:55,252 --> 00:50:57,654
Did he come in.
Oh yeah. Confirm or deny that 30.

1308
00:50:57,654 --> 00:50:59,556
Was he the age that he came over as?

1309
00:50:59,556 --> 00:51:01,691
I have no idea. It looks the same.

1310
00:51:01,691 --> 00:51:03,160
Yeah, that's a male idea.

1311
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,861
He looks great.

1312
00:51:04,861 --> 00:51:06,496
That's funny man.

1313
00:51:06,496 --> 00:51:08,465
You get stories.

1314
00:51:08,465 --> 00:51:09,299
I love it.

1315
00:51:09,299 --> 00:51:11,535
I think we're only talking
about the good ones. Right?

1316
00:51:11,535 --> 00:51:15,138
If you can go back and change something,
anything.

1317
00:51:15,872 --> 00:51:18,408
If there is something to change,
maybe there's not.

1318
00:51:18,408 --> 00:51:19,976
If you could change
something, what would it be?

1319
00:51:22,112 --> 00:51:25,115
I tell us to a lot of young athletes,

1320
00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:28,919
even if it's youth,

1321
00:51:28,919 --> 00:51:30,454
the one thing that I messed up

1322
00:51:30,454 --> 00:51:33,457
on was in the minor leagues.

1323
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:35,358
They're telling you

1324
00:51:35,358 --> 00:51:38,361
what they want and what you want to do.

1325
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,932
But if you don't understand
what they're talking about.

1326
00:51:42,833 --> 00:51:44,968
I was shy in high school.

1327
00:51:44,968 --> 00:51:47,971
I'm not even close to that anymore,
obviously, because New York ruins you.

1328
00:51:48,305 --> 00:51:50,907
But I never asked questions.

1329
00:51:50,907 --> 00:51:52,342
I didn't ask why.

1330
00:51:52,342 --> 00:51:54,578
Yeah, that's the probably
the one of the biggest things that I do

1331
00:51:54,578 --> 00:51:56,780
when I do like baseball clinics and stuff,
it doesn't matter

1332
00:51:56,780 --> 00:52:00,016
is baseball or football or whatever clinic
I might be doing.

1333
00:52:01,017 --> 00:52:03,620
If you don't ask why
and you're struggling with something,

1334
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:05,689
you're just going to keep doing
the same thing over and over.

1335
00:52:05,689 --> 00:52:09,960
And I think it cost me a couple of years
of getting to where I needed to be.

1336
00:52:10,093 --> 00:52:12,796
Yeah, and I regret that part. Wow. Yeah.

1337
00:52:12,796 --> 00:52:13,997
Be teachable and. Ask.

1338
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:15,031
I just didn't ask.

1339
00:52:15,031 --> 00:52:18,735
I like they were like,
tell me you stay inside the ball mile.

1340
00:52:18,735 --> 00:52:21,071
Okay, I but I was doing the wrong way. No.

1341
00:52:21,071 --> 00:52:22,672
Whether it be coaching or whatever not.

1342
00:52:22,672 --> 00:52:26,710
So I would try to make sure now
with all the kids, dude, whatever's pro

1343
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:28,712
whatever, you know,
I got some Padres for a couple years.

1344
00:52:29,846 --> 00:52:31,081
Ask, ask.

1345
00:52:31,081 --> 00:52:33,283
Don't feel right or you don't understand.

1346
00:52:33,283 --> 00:52:34,317
Ask the questions.

1347
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:37,320
And I think, it's going to help.

1348
00:52:37,387 --> 00:52:39,256
It's a lot quicker. And I see it.

1349
00:52:39,256 --> 00:52:43,260
I do girl softball back
home, and the girls

1350
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,531
listen and ask them boys and good.

1351
00:52:47,964 --> 00:52:50,500
And like, yeah. You know,
you know, go to okay I understand.

1352
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:52,402
Yeah we I've been teaching you for a month
straight.

1353
00:52:52,402 --> 00:52:53,670
Come on man.

1354
00:52:53,670 --> 00:52:56,940
But the girls listen I'd rather do
the girls than I with the guys, you know?

1355
00:52:56,940 --> 00:53:01,011
So it's, you know, guys, boys are cocky,
you know?

1356
00:53:02,245 --> 00:53:04,381
Their shit doesn't. Stink.

1357
00:53:04,381 --> 00:53:05,015
That's awesome.

1358
00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:05,348
Yeah.

1359
00:53:05,348 --> 00:53:08,852
No, be be teachable
and ask clarification questions. Yes.

1360
00:53:09,753 --> 00:53:10,887
That's the best way. I know, right?

1361
00:53:10,887 --> 00:53:11,621
I do regret it.

1362
00:53:11,621 --> 00:53:14,624
You learn from mistakes
and you learn from asking questions.

1363
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:15,992
I do regret that part of my.

1364
00:53:15,992 --> 00:53:18,795
If we're talking about career,
I do regret that part.

1365
00:53:18,795 --> 00:53:21,431
That's a good teachable moment.

1366
00:53:24,301 --> 00:53:27,137
All right,
so you have a favorite restaurant

1367
00:53:27,137 --> 00:53:28,305
anywhere in the world.

1368
00:53:28,305 --> 00:53:31,208
You do food? No food. I love food.

1369
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:32,776
Right? Yeah. I'll get it.
Then there's a follow.

1370
00:53:32,776 --> 00:53:35,779
You mentioned a little our Kansas.

1371
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:37,347
Oh, no at all.

1372
00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:40,150
Fish and grits somewhere. And I'm kidding.
I don't know who do. You got?

1373
00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:41,785
Our New York. Come on, you're in the city.

1374
00:53:41,785 --> 00:53:44,321
Listen, I love good food.
I love good steakhouses, okay?

1375
00:53:44,321 --> 00:53:48,024
But like, when I'm up here,
I try to find a place that's

1376
00:53:49,292 --> 00:53:50,827
quiet.

1377
00:53:50,827 --> 00:53:53,163
Not too crowded,
like a little sports bar.

1378
00:53:53,163 --> 00:53:53,530
I tried.

1379
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:55,765
I tried all kinds of different ones. Yep.

1380
00:53:55,765 --> 00:53:58,401
Where's your spot? You got a spot?

1381
00:53:58,401 --> 00:53:59,803
Chili's in Milford.

1382
00:53:59,803 --> 00:54:01,404
It nice? Yeah, in the mall.

1383
00:54:01,404 --> 00:54:03,540
They give me the remotes. It's
right by the ball.

1384
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:04,941
You know that? Yeah. There's I oh, yeah.

1385
00:54:04,941 --> 00:54:06,643
It's right up the street, and I.

1386
00:54:06,643 --> 00:54:09,246
So I've been gone there
for like 3 or 4 years, and I like,

1387
00:54:10,447 --> 00:54:12,382
they take care of me and I.

1388
00:54:12,382 --> 00:54:13,750
Do you get the remote room.

1389
00:54:13,750 --> 00:54:16,052
Oh yeah. I'm just got I watch
whenever I want.

1390
00:54:16,052 --> 00:54:17,520
I go there after the shower.

1391
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,688
You know I'm in between.

1392
00:54:18,688 --> 00:54:20,657
I'm like, you know,
am I going to give the times out?

1393
00:54:20,657 --> 00:54:22,325
But it's my place.

1394
00:54:22,325 --> 00:54:26,096
I tried a bunch of different places,
but I mean, there's tons of places,

1395
00:54:26,096 --> 00:54:29,099
but if you're talking
like a good steakhouse

1396
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:32,202
and you might get on film
or Italian in New York.

1397
00:54:32,402 --> 00:54:33,036
Yeah.

1398
00:54:33,036 --> 00:54:36,606
If I'm in California, it's Mexican
and seafood.

1399
00:54:36,973 --> 00:54:37,974
Gotcha. I'm like, I'm.

1400
00:54:37,974 --> 00:54:39,743
I don't eat Mexican out here.

1401
00:54:39,743 --> 00:54:42,145
Even though I did
go to the stands on the wharf.

1402
00:54:42,145 --> 00:54:44,648
Oh, it was actually not
bad. The food trucks out.

1403
00:54:44,648 --> 00:54:47,350
Yeah I know, yeah. Yeah, yeah,
that's a pretty a long wharf or whatever.

1404
00:54:47,350 --> 00:54:48,852
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay.

1405
00:54:48,852 --> 00:54:53,356
You'll enter this year for the first time
and it was solid but it's not San Diego.

1406
00:54:54,224 --> 00:54:56,293
What about Peter Luger's in Brooklyn.
You ever been there?

1407
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:58,061
Been there. Yeah, that's good stuff.

1408
00:54:58,061 --> 00:54:59,496
I did steaks good steak.

1409
00:54:59,496 --> 00:55:01,865
Yeah I do, I like them all.

1410
00:55:01,865 --> 00:55:04,668
So if you could eat with for guests
for guests?

1411
00:55:04,668 --> 00:55:07,137
Who are you in with, dead or alive.
Anyone in the world?

1412
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:09,072
Ooh, we in NY or

1413
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:11,675
can be anybody.

1414
00:55:11,675 --> 00:55:13,677
I want to play around the golf. Yeah.

1415
00:55:13,677 --> 00:55:15,779
Or around the golf is gone.

1416
00:55:15,779 --> 00:55:18,014
With Ian Poulter.

1417
00:55:18,014 --> 00:55:20,183
Phil Mickelson

1418
00:55:20,183 --> 00:55:20,583
that's good.

1419
00:55:20,583 --> 00:55:24,287
I could stop right there
those two and then hit the bars.

1420
00:55:24,387 --> 00:55:27,557
Maybe maybe a mallory or Lowry
Shane Lowry.

1421
00:55:27,691 --> 00:55:28,591
Oh yup.

1422
00:55:28,591 --> 00:55:30,560
Take those three
and you go hit the pub afterwards.

1423
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,662
That would be cool.

1424
00:55:32,662 --> 00:55:34,097
Shane Lowry he's from Ireland right.

1425
00:55:34,097 --> 00:55:35,265
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

1426
00:55:35,265 --> 00:55:37,167
Oh you have Irish background. Yeah.
My mom's a hundred.

1427
00:55:37,167 --> 00:55:39,135
Her whole family 100%. Yeah. So.

1428
00:55:39,135 --> 00:55:42,572
And my dad's because my grandfather's from
there I could get my Irish citizenship.

1429
00:55:42,572 --> 00:55:44,741
Do you have. Oh really?
I can't get at your grandparents.

1430
00:55:44,741 --> 00:55:46,209
None of your grandparents are from there.

1431
00:55:46,209 --> 00:55:48,678
They were too. Because you were coaching.
They're trying to coach.

1432
00:55:48,678 --> 00:55:50,980
Yeah, we're trying to do challenges.
Right. It's super.

1433
00:55:50,980 --> 00:55:52,549
There's a lot of challenges.

1434
00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:56,753
You have to have a direct descendant
from your grandparents is it gets to.

1435
00:55:57,087 --> 00:56:00,090
So we have all these good
Irish baseball players over here.

1436
00:56:00,390 --> 00:56:03,960
And Ireland's
the only place that's not letting them

1437
00:56:04,294 --> 00:56:07,630
like Italy
if oh I'm Italian that that you go play.

1438
00:56:07,831 --> 00:56:09,332
Yeah but I only want to do it.

1439
00:56:09,332 --> 00:56:12,168
So they're going to be behind for a while
until they change stuff.

1440
00:56:12,168 --> 00:56:14,671
But that's there
you know. Yep. That's what they want.

1441
00:56:14,671 --> 00:56:18,742
So I mean you get like a Sean Casey know
I mean Sean Casey

1442
00:56:18,742 --> 00:56:20,343
go over there and coach the guy.

1443
00:56:20,343 --> 00:56:21,911
I'd love to go there and teach them.

1444
00:56:21,911 --> 00:56:24,614
There is an as nicknamed
the mayor. The mayor.

1445
00:56:24,614 --> 00:56:26,149
I thought that was his nickname.

1446
00:56:26,149 --> 00:56:27,050
Mel.

1447
00:56:27,050 --> 00:56:29,786
Gets hit, though I know that I got hit

1448
00:56:29,786 --> 00:56:32,522
so, yeah, I mean, I would love to go
be more of a part of it.

1449
00:56:32,522 --> 00:56:35,358
You know, we do the,
like, the local things here, but,

1450
00:56:35,358 --> 00:56:38,461
because of what they do
with the passports,

1451
00:56:38,495 --> 00:56:42,699
the citizenship, they're, you know,
they're not going to be playing in the WBC

1452
00:56:43,533 --> 00:56:46,669
because they're not getting the best
players, you know, like everybody else.

1453
00:56:46,669 --> 00:56:49,305
Is. Yeah, they should make that
a priority. I don't know if they're.

1454
00:56:51,007 --> 00:56:53,410
Competing with our government,
so we can't do nothing about that.

1455
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,712
So I would love it.

1456
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:56,579
Totally love. It.

1457
00:56:56,579 --> 00:56:57,881
Where do you go when you go over there?

1458
00:56:57,881 --> 00:56:59,816
I've never been oh come on. No.

1459
00:56:59,816 --> 00:57:02,619
My sister just went,
with her girlfriends, this year.

1460
00:57:02,619 --> 00:57:04,354
And they had a blast.

1461
00:57:04,354 --> 00:57:06,423
I know I went once, and I want to go back.

1462
00:57:06,423 --> 00:57:09,125
Oh, yeah. It's amazing.
It's like the best place. You tell me.

1463
00:57:09,125 --> 00:57:12,128
I go over there and teach baseball
and go play, like, four rounds of golf.

1464
00:57:13,563 --> 00:57:14,731
Fine. Musket up.

1465
00:57:14,731 --> 00:57:17,400
Let's go.

1466
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,168
Cool, cool, cool.

1467
00:57:18,168 --> 00:57:20,036
Do you have a favorite tea?
I'm a teacher, 22 years.

1468
00:57:20,036 --> 00:57:23,873
Do you have a favorite teacher
that sticks out to you?

1469
00:57:26,242 --> 00:57:28,878
Man, I had a few good ones.

1470
00:57:29,913 --> 00:57:31,981
And easy ones and hard ones.

1471
00:57:31,981 --> 00:57:32,215
Right?

1472
00:57:32,215 --> 00:57:34,284
I had a,

1473
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:37,086
U.S. history teacher.

1474
00:57:37,086 --> 00:57:39,122
He was so strict.

1475
00:57:39,122 --> 00:57:41,191
It was in the Korean War.

1476
00:57:41,191 --> 00:57:42,992
He was a hard ass.

1477
00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:45,462
And he would not give you.

1478
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:47,363
He's like, I write a paper on.

1479
00:57:47,363 --> 00:57:50,700
I. He know I could he could tell
I read, like, okay, a third of the book

1480
00:57:51,234 --> 00:57:54,237
and then I just started making stuff up,

1481
00:57:54,504 --> 00:57:57,841
and then he just like bullshit,
bullshit, bullshit.

1482
00:57:57,841 --> 00:57:59,442
And he gave me the paper.
He was like, come.

1483
00:57:59,442 --> 00:58:02,011
I said, I got back from practice at 930.

1484
00:58:02,011 --> 00:58:03,847
I don't know what to tell you.
He was like, well, you do it already.

1485
00:58:03,847 --> 00:58:08,451
But I think that strictness, he
reminded me a little bit of Steinbrenner.

1486
00:58:08,485 --> 00:58:10,186
Nice. I was very strict.

1487
00:58:10,186 --> 00:58:12,489
Hey, you need to get your shit together.

1488
00:58:13,523 --> 00:58:14,858
And I appreciate that.

1489
00:58:14,858 --> 00:58:17,694
Even though I only got to see,
I think I was only CIA ever guy.

1490
00:58:17,694 --> 00:58:18,661
But he.

1491
00:58:18,661 --> 00:58:20,296
What? He wasn't in high school.

1492
00:58:20,296 --> 00:58:21,164
It was a high school. Yeah.

1493
00:58:21,164 --> 00:58:24,467
Where my kids go in granite Hills in San
Diego, grinding Hills High school.

1494
00:58:25,101 --> 00:58:26,970
They go to the same school
you went to? Yeah. Oh.

1495
00:58:26,970 --> 00:58:27,604
My kid.

1496
00:58:27,604 --> 00:58:29,873
That's very cool. Yeah,

1497
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,941
I talk very good
school. The public school.

1498
00:58:31,941 --> 00:58:32,375
Nice.

1499
00:58:32,375 --> 00:58:35,979
But, athletic and academic, it's.

1500
00:58:36,579 --> 00:58:39,249
And kids are going to great schools.

1501
00:58:39,249 --> 00:58:41,017
They're great powerhouse.

1502
00:58:41,017 --> 00:58:43,887
They're a powerhouse in multiple,
multiple sports.

1503
00:58:43,887 --> 00:58:46,890
So my kids got more awards already
than I ever did.

1504
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:52,695
So I'm not going to say them was better,
but they're pretty darn good.

1505
00:58:52,862 --> 00:58:54,631
Nice nice.

1506
00:58:54,631 --> 00:58:56,666
Yeah. The that's important as a parent.

1507
00:58:56,666 --> 00:58:57,300
Your legacy.

1508
00:58:57,300 --> 00:58:59,602
You could do anything in the world
your September 9th eight.

1509
00:58:59,602 --> 00:59:03,306
But raising children
that are respectful and doing good things.

1510
00:59:03,306 --> 00:59:05,008
There's nothing better. I don't know.

1511
00:59:05,008 --> 00:59:05,275
Well, you.

1512
00:59:05,275 --> 00:59:07,944
See, I mean, you get to see it all
the time as a teacher. Yeah.

1513
00:59:07,944 --> 00:59:10,947
But you can see
if you go out to a restaurant and you hear

1514
00:59:11,714 --> 00:59:14,884
the way kids act or see them
and the way they speak to people.

1515
00:59:15,118 --> 00:59:17,186
Yeah, not happening in my family.

1516
00:59:17,186 --> 00:59:21,124
I give my ex wife a big props on that
because she's with the most the time.

1517
00:59:21,124 --> 00:59:23,293
But it's may I please.

1518
00:59:23,293 --> 00:59:25,261
Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir.

1519
00:59:25,261 --> 00:59:26,596
Nonstop for my kids.

1520
00:59:26,596 --> 00:59:28,298
And if they don't, you're.

1521
00:59:28,298 --> 00:59:30,900
I guess you're not getting that
$20 Starbucks card.

00:59:56,626 --> 00:59:58,261

It was a Hartford Courant.

1553
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,109
It was huge news in Connecticut.

1554
01:00:46,109 --> 01:00:48,711
Frank Tank came. He's an amazing person.

1555
01:00:48,711 --> 01:00:51,714
Heart of gold.

1556
01:00:51,714 --> 01:00:52,181
Sorry, this.

1557
01:00:52,181 --> 01:00:54,651
You got to do it out there.

1558
01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:58,287

1565
01:01:10,867 --> 01:01:13,503

1568
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:21,411
Oh, this is me and Sam. Another video.

1569
01:01:21,411 --> 01:01:25,148
Sam and I went to Yankee Stadium dressed
full unis.

1570
01:01:25,848 --> 01:01:26,949
That's my brother in law.

1571
01:01:26,949 --> 01:01:29,118
He's a good friend.
That's the guy you golf with.

1572
01:01:29,118 --> 01:01:31,320
Sam, I know is why they call him
Sam, though.

1573
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,622
Because it's Santo.

1574
01:01:32,622 --> 01:01:35,058
Santo Lombardo is his.

1575
01:01:35,058 --> 01:01:36,325
He's just short for both the.

1576
01:01:36,325 --> 01:01:37,860
And then Santo.

1577
01:01:37,860 --> 01:01:38,861
It's an Italian name.

1578
01:01:38,861 --> 01:01:41,864
And Sam is a nickname for Santo. Oh, okay.

1579
01:01:42,065 --> 01:01:43,700
I didn't know,
like, why they call you Sam?

1580
01:01:45,468 --> 01:01:46,169
Play well.

1581
01:01:46,169 --> 01:01:47,336
Matt. Curtain calls.

1582
01:01:47,336 --> 01:01:49,105
How many curtain calls did
you end up getting?

1583
01:01:49,105 --> 01:01:50,807
Was it 3 or 4?

1584
01:01:50,807 --> 01:01:53,042
Why were you hesitant?

1585
01:01:53,042 --> 01:01:55,511
Sometimes you look like real nonchalant.

1586
01:01:55,511 --> 01:01:56,913
You're just like.

1587
01:01:56,913 --> 01:01:57,880
I mean, how's that feel?

1588
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,382
Because they force you to go out there.

1589
01:01:59,382 --> 01:01:59,782
You didn't.

1590
01:01:59,782 --> 01:02:00,950
Yeah. You didn't want to know.

1591
01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:02,085
Because what you when you know

1592
01:02:02,085 --> 01:02:05,221
you're not good enough to go out there
like those guys like, okay.

1593
01:02:05,221 --> 01:02:06,622
You don't I don't want to be embarrassed.

1594
01:02:06,622 --> 01:02:10,359
Like, I got pretty lucky from that about,
like, I don't want to be a part of that

1595
01:02:10,860 --> 01:02:11,461
through the leg.

1596
01:02:11,461 --> 01:02:11,627
You know?

1597
01:02:11,627 --> 01:02:14,464
It's not like Aaron Judge were hitting,
you know, 60 homeruns a year.

1598
01:02:14,464 --> 01:02:17,133
You know, we didn't hit homeruns
when we played. Yeah.

1599
01:02:17,133 --> 01:02:19,202
It was moved the ball around. Yeah.

1600
01:02:19,202 --> 01:02:20,570
Just play the game to win.

1601
01:02:20,570 --> 01:02:22,739
Now everybody's hitting home
runs and strikeouts.

1602
01:02:22,739 --> 01:02:24,941
Looks like fun actually.

1603
01:02:24,941 --> 01:02:27,310
Five for five grand slam.

1604
01:02:27,310 --> 01:02:30,046
You get your current
call. Yeah, I got. Probably

1605
01:02:31,547 --> 01:02:32,949
a rookie in a month.

1606
01:02:32,949 --> 01:02:34,751
Probably a month and a half.

1607
01:02:34,751 --> 01:02:36,119
I think I'll be about five.

1608
01:02:36,119 --> 01:02:37,720
Yeah, I count at least four.

1609
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,056
Yeah. Five.

1610
01:02:40,056 --> 01:02:40,890
That's amazing.

1611
01:02:40,890 --> 01:02:44,460
Oh, and confirm or deny what product
where you putting in your bleach

1612
01:02:44,460 --> 01:02:45,895
blond hair was that. Is that match.

1613
01:02:45,895 --> 01:02:47,130
Oh, that was 1999.

1614
01:02:47,130 --> 01:02:49,599
That was all Chuck Knoblauch hahahahaha.

1615
01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,667
Did he always do.
He went in to get highlights.

1616
01:02:51,667 --> 01:02:54,704
And then they turn this around.

1617
01:02:54,704 --> 01:02:57,206
He says he still says he didn't do it.

1618
01:02:57,206 --> 01:02:58,307
Makes it. Oh, my head's hurt.

1619
01:02:58,307 --> 01:03:00,743
It's like hot on fire.

1620
01:03:00,743 --> 01:03:01,778
And then they put me in.

1621
01:03:01,778 --> 01:03:04,280
They dry everything in. It comes out
bleach blond.

1622
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:04,947
Oh, he gagged you.

1623
01:03:04,947 --> 01:03:05,581
You think or no?

1624
01:03:05,581 --> 01:03:10,787
Oh 106 100% navy gagged John Zimmer.

1625
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,755
I come into the locker room and he's like,

1626
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:16,225
you're an idiot.

1627
01:03:16,225 --> 01:03:17,960
Because he was straight shooter.
Yeah. Gone.

1628
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,096
Done. Pretty much ran the team, I believe.

1629
01:03:20,096 --> 01:03:21,964
I mean, he was on top of everything.

1630
01:03:21,964 --> 01:03:24,967
He was he was amazing.
He was really tough.

1631
01:03:25,201 --> 01:03:27,870
He was tough on me.
He's tough on everybody.

1632
01:03:27,870 --> 01:03:30,640
He had the consider. He was like the boy.

1633
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,242
He was the. Guy. We went to Seattle.
I saw my dad.

1634
01:03:33,242 --> 01:03:35,678
I got called up in Seattle my first time.

1635
01:03:35,678 --> 01:03:36,913
My dad picked me up at the airport.

1636
01:03:36,913 --> 01:03:42,151
Work for us customs,
and I think we went back to Seattle.

1637
01:03:43,719 --> 01:03:46,222
So 99

1638
01:03:46,222 --> 01:03:49,225
and we had early work optional,

1639
01:03:50,326 --> 01:03:54,330
early optional heading because because I
don't think Seattle was hitting that day.

1640
01:03:55,131 --> 01:03:56,332
So my dad's in town.

1641
01:03:56,332 --> 01:04:00,570
I see him once a year and I just
we go have lunch.

1642
01:04:00,603 --> 01:04:01,871
I do this

1643
01:04:01,871 --> 01:04:06,576
and after the game that night, and I
wake up in the morning the next day and,

1644
01:04:07,343 --> 01:04:09,946
you know, the old phones and the hotel
phone, you get the orange light.

1645
01:04:09,946 --> 01:04:12,815
Oh, yeah, voicemail.
Or something like, oh, I got a voicemail.

1646
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:15,651
Hey, shake.

1647
01:04:15,651 --> 01:04:18,654
Coach Zimmer, meet me in the lobby
at 1115.

1648
01:04:18,855 --> 01:04:21,657
It's like 1030. I'm like.

1649
01:04:21,657 --> 01:04:23,426
And then he called me down
there, and I went down,

1650
01:04:23,426 --> 01:04:24,827
and he just sat there and stared at me.

1651
01:04:24,827 --> 01:04:27,363
Just like we just did it right here,
you know? It's coming, right?

1652
01:04:27,363 --> 01:04:30,333
And, he goes, why weren't you at,

1653
01:04:30,733 --> 01:04:33,069
early work?

1654
01:04:33,069 --> 01:04:34,770
I said, well, it was optional, right?

1655
01:04:34,770 --> 01:04:39,208
And he goes, you're not a effing superstar
official.

1656
01:04:39,242 --> 01:04:40,009
No mean shit.

1657
01:04:40,009 --> 01:04:41,277
You you you're there.

1658
01:04:41,277 --> 01:04:44,280
I said, well, I said,
I see my dad once a year and I, I mean,

1659
01:04:45,047 --> 01:04:47,083
we went to lunch
and I got to hang with him.

1660
01:04:47,083 --> 01:04:50,086
He's like.

1661
01:04:52,221 --> 01:04:54,123
Don't ever miss again.

1662
01:04:54,123 --> 01:04:57,693
And I never missed one ever again
because he was so intense

1663
01:04:57,693 --> 01:04:58,928
and he got up and walked away.

1664
01:04:58,928 --> 01:05:03,499
I'm like, just sitting there
in the lobby like, oh sure, honey.

1665
01:05:03,499 --> 01:05:05,401
Iced tea. Yeah.

1666
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,837
No, Zimmer's a legend. Oh, he was awesome.

1667
01:05:09,639 --> 01:05:10,473
What else we got.

1668
01:05:10,473 --> 01:05:12,241
All right. Boom boom boom. Oh.

1669
01:05:12,241 --> 01:05:14,844
Do you know the seven ways
to get to first base?

1670
01:05:14,844 --> 01:05:17,847
There's seven ways to get to first base.

1671
01:05:18,114 --> 01:05:20,483
Walk, hit by pitch,

1672
01:05:20,483 --> 01:05:23,853
strike out, hit

1673
01:05:25,721 --> 01:05:28,724
catcher's interference.

1674
01:05:28,858 --> 01:05:31,861
Air.

1675
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:34,430
Missing one.

1676
01:05:34,430 --> 01:05:35,364
Right now.

1677
01:05:35,364 --> 01:05:38,768
FC. Tinsel. FC.

1678
01:05:38,801 --> 01:05:39,635
Feel it.

1679
01:05:39,635 --> 01:05:40,503
Oh. Fearless strike.

1680
01:05:40,503 --> 01:05:42,872
Oh that was close.
You were on a roll. Yeah.

1681
01:05:42,872 --> 01:05:44,073
You killed it.

1682
01:05:44,073 --> 01:05:44,240
Yeah.

1683
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:44,840
Not bad.

1684
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,344
And you did a roast in New York
and you benefited the Miracle League

1685

01:06:01,157 --> 01:06:03,993
If I get invited to do
any kind of charity, I'm always.

1693
01:06:03,993 --> 01:06:05,027
I love it. And.

1694
01:06:06,262 --> 01:06:07,563
They just did their field over.

1695
01:06:07,563 --> 01:06:07,763
Yeah.

1696
01:06:07,763 --> 01:06:10,533
And, it's important to the kids,
and we love to have you there.

1697
01:06:10,533 --> 01:06:12,902
That'll be great.
And then some upcoming events.

1698
01:06:12,902 --> 01:06:14,837
We got the whiskey fest coming up.

1699
01:06:14,837 --> 01:06:17,406
And, they'll be out of town.
Yeah. This Saturday.

1700
01:06:17,406 --> 01:06:19,342
Thank you. Maximum beverage.

1701
01:06:19,342 --> 01:06:22,111
Thank. God I'm out of town. Yeah.

1702
01:06:22,111 --> 01:06:22,912
Fifth year in a row.

1703
01:06:22,912 --> 01:06:25,581
We're the beneficiary.

1704
01:06:25,581 --> 01:06:27,516
Don't forget,
you're going to come save the day.

1705
01:06:27,516 --> 01:06:29,552
October 12th.

1706
01:06:29,552 --> 01:06:30,453
This is a sign.

1707
01:06:30,453 --> 01:06:32,388
I will have you sign that later. Okay?

1708
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:33,222
We'll autograph that.

1709
01:06:33,222 --> 01:06:36,092
Maybe I'm going to raffle
lead off at the whiskey event.

1710
01:06:36,092 --> 01:06:37,360
Oh. Got this.

1711
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,428
I'll sign the right way.

1712
01:06:39,428 --> 01:06:40,196
Thank you. Card.

1713
01:06:40,196 --> 01:06:41,530
Shout out my friends here.

1714
01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:43,432
Always, I tell people, be a good friend.

1715
01:06:43,432 --> 01:06:45,901
Write
the handwritten note goes a long way.

1716
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:46,268
This is.

1717
01:06:46,268 --> 01:06:46,869
Dear Mr.

1718
01:06:46,869 --> 01:06:49,372
Feeney, thank you so much
for coming to my graduation party.

1719
01:06:49,372 --> 01:06:50,506
I appreciate it so much.

1720
01:06:50,506 --> 01:06:52,742
I'm so thankful to have you as a teacher.

1721
01:06:52,742 --> 01:06:54,076
Matty p.s.

1722
01:06:54,076 --> 01:06:55,177
I love the merch.

1723
01:06:55,177 --> 01:06:57,513
This is Mattingly, my student.

1724
01:06:57,513 --> 01:06:59,782
Mattingly guess who she's named after?

1725
01:06:59,782 --> 01:07:02,485
Yeah, her parents are huge Yankee fans.

1726
01:07:02,485 --> 01:07:07,556
If you give me a shout out or John,
Jack and, Natalie, a shout out there.

1727
01:07:07,556 --> 01:07:09,125
The Ford family, great people.

1728
01:07:09,125 --> 01:07:09,558
Oh, yeah.

1729
01:07:09,558 --> 01:07:10,292
Absolutely.

1730
01:07:10,292 --> 01:07:12,728
Hey, thank you for being part of it.

1731
01:07:13,863 --> 01:07:16,866
Donnie, baseball is a true friend of mine.

1732
01:07:16,866 --> 01:07:17,867
He's one of the greatest.

1733
01:07:17,867 --> 01:07:21,137
So to even be mentioned
or even have the same name.

1734
01:07:21,137 --> 01:07:22,271
I think that's wonderful,

1735
01:07:22,271 --> 01:07:25,341
because he is one of the best people
that I've ever been around.

1736
01:07:25,341 --> 01:07:27,176
So thank you very much.

1737
01:07:27,176 --> 01:07:30,012
And, God bless Maddie.

1738
01:07:30,012 --> 01:07:31,480
Good people, good family.

1739
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:32,882
So we'll do some signing.

1740
01:07:32,882 --> 01:07:35,818
Oh, then when in New Haven,
we got to get the pie.

1741
01:07:35,818 --> 01:07:39,188
So, any closing remarks before we go?

1742
01:07:39,588 --> 01:07:42,024
Closing remarks. I can't
thank you enough for being here.

1743
01:07:42,024 --> 01:07:43,959
It was great talking with you.

1744
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:46,962
Talking with a legend. We went back.

1745
01:07:46,962 --> 01:07:47,863
Way back.

1746
01:07:47,863 --> 01:07:50,499
We had a great time.
You brought the pie? Yeah.

1747
01:07:50,499 --> 01:07:53,436
You know,
I've always never been a big New Haven.

1748
01:07:53,436 --> 01:07:55,004
Even everybody brags about all the time.

1749
01:07:55,004 --> 01:07:57,273
But Modern's been my favorite
of all of them. Yep.

1750
01:07:57,273 --> 01:07:58,841
They don't burn it

1751
01:07:58,841 --> 01:08:01,844
completely on the bottom,
which is a big deal for me, because I'm.

1752
01:08:02,078 --> 01:08:05,881
I like soft bread, so I already crushed
like, four pieces outside, so.

1753
01:08:06,082 --> 01:08:06,849
We were waiting for.

1754
01:08:07,817 --> 01:08:08,851
The rest of it after this.

1755
01:08:08,851 --> 01:08:11,287
So modern
I we've had some some of your stuff

1756
01:08:11,287 --> 01:08:13,923
at some of the events
I've been it's it's awesome. Love it.

1757
01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:15,658
Look at this pie here.

1758
01:08:15,658 --> 01:08:17,860
Yeah. Again it's about an hour old, but

1759
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:20,663
as you can see,
we put down two pieces each.

1760
01:08:20,663 --> 01:08:21,597
You should wait for me.

1761
01:08:21,597 --> 01:08:22,832
You heard him.

1762
01:08:22,832 --> 01:08:25,501
He, huge fan.

1763
01:08:25,501 --> 01:08:26,569
They were open in and out.

1764
01:08:26,569 --> 01:08:28,938
You walk in 15 minutes.

1765
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:30,573
Yeah. Thank you, modern sir.

1766
01:08:30,573 --> 01:08:32,341
Hopefully
they're going to donate a gift card.

1767
01:08:32,341 --> 01:08:35,344
And they also doing,

1768
01:08:36,112 --> 01:08:37,613
they collaborated with counterweight

1769
01:08:37,613 --> 01:08:41,417
for a modern classic
for little counterweight beer.

1770
01:08:41,550 --> 01:08:42,318
As well is.

1771
01:08:42,318 --> 01:08:44,587
Yeah, collab counterweight and modern.

1772
01:08:44,587 --> 01:08:46,088
Two favorite things.

1773
01:08:46,088 --> 01:08:47,523
Cheers.

1774
01:08:47,523 --> 01:08:49,492
Let's do it. Cheers.

1775
01:08:49,492 --> 01:08:51,026
It was so cool to talk with you.

1776
01:08:51,026 --> 01:08:53,162
We'll stick around
and do some signing on. Three.

Yes. One, two three.

1779
01:08:56,232 --> 01:08:57,633
Be a good friend.

1780
01:08:57,633 --> 01:08:59,301
Oh, you want to it together?

1781
01:08:59,301 --> 01:09:01,170

Cheers again my guy. Thank you Shane.

01:09:10,279 --> 01:09:13,048
Do when my love turns away.

1786
01:09:13,048 --> 01:09:16,285
Doesn't want need to be numb.

1787
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:18,954

01:09:25,394 --> 01:09:27,062
No, I get by.
