  Speaker 1: ran back to radio world was actually Derek Jeter and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz, and I wanna start here because they found
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: some common ground on.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: The Yankees being a winning.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The franchise, and I started with Derek Jeter the captain,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: uh uh said about.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Being on a team run by George Steinberner.
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: Takeo, listen, we were it was drilled in our heads
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: that you have to win at every single level, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: we weren't promoted into we had basically dominated a particular level, and.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: So I had teammates that learned accountability and responsibility at
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: an early age that the number one goals to win.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: That's the only thing that mattered. That don't talk about
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: a high and it's always we we we.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: So we had a special group that came up together
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: and you never had to worry about those players because
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: you knew every day when they took the field.
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: Of what their priority was, what they cared about.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: And the only way that you're able to win a
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: championship is you have to have a lot of great teammates.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: You have to have a lot of great leaders.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: They always talk about, oh one leader, Now you want
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: to have a lot of leaders.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: We get a lot of.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: Leaders on our team.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: Beside was the leader, Marion Petits, and Burnie was reader.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: We got to have.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Or it was successful in anything that you do, whether
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: it's in sports, where it's in businesses, in life, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: guys have great people around you, and great people supported you.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: And we always supported.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Each other from the captain himself and interestingly enough, David
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Ortiz of course wearing the red Sox uniform for many
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: years and boot even was booed at fanatics best today
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: when he was first introduced. I never really understood that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You know, they you pay a lot of money to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: see this All Star, this World Series champion wipe on them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But that's just New York, right, That's just New York. Anyway,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz found that common ground with a former rival,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: not only Jeter, but the Yankees organization.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Ticulous it it it it type of way that it
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: was motivational, you know, I mean, he, hey, you want this,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: you gotta give me that, you know, and and and
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I can't leave with it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I I'm cool with it because once you close this line,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you gotta be able to put over the challenge, you
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And and and you know the history.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Yankees are the Yankees. It's it's an
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: organization that I have a lot of friends to have
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: played for it and they always have some people don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: must to say about that organization.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: And you pay attention.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the team that has the most
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: championship out of all and and and this is the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: one in the division that you have to compete with.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Me, so you have to play here.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: He is deep cereal. Well anyway, that was that. That
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was David Ortiz on the Yankees.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Incredible dynasty, incredible franchise, and I wanted to play that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for you because y'all boot him when he was at
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the stadium and I met him personally a couple of times.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: He's a decent gentleman. The story I have.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Is after the Red Sox pulled off the upset in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Game seven, after being down three in the ALCS, he
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was wrapping up and heading downstairs to you know, leave
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for the team bus or whatever, and we were in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the catacombs the Yankee stadium and he gave me a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: huge bear hug after winning the ales, and it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: such a cordial moment, and I felt that cordiality today
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: between Jeter and Ortiz. The other interesting aspect of today
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: was and he did a phenomenal job. Ryan Clark, a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: former football player turned TV analyst, asked David and Derek
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about how they faced tragedy head on after nine to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: eleven and of course the twenty thirteen Boston bombing. This
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was a really dramatic, emotional moment and I wanted to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: capture for you to hear on the Alex skartt podcast network.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: See what were some of those moments like for you,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: and how proud were you to be not only.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Just an America but in New Yorker.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: At that time, it was the first time as a
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: professional athlete where I felt as though it didn't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Matter what we're doing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: It doesn't make a difference, It doesn't count, you know.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's bigger issues.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: In the world when as supposed to win or not
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: the Yankees win or lose. And it wasn't until.
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: We had a chance to meet a lot of families
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: who had lost love ones and they had told us
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: how much joy we had brought their families and how
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: they were pulling for us to continue to play well.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: And so we.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Took that as a huge respon responsibility to not help
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: people forget, because you're never gonna forget, but at least
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: for three hours during the day or three hours at night.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Just give them something to cheer for.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: And we took that personally and it was probably as
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: electric as energetic as I've seen the old Yankee Stadium
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: when we got to the World Series, even though we
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: lost the three games that we played in New York
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: and the way the city rallied around us first time
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: we went on the road and people weren't booing us.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: That's the first, maybe the only time I ever played
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: in Boston.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: With people.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Because they understood that we were represented.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We're all in in this together.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: So it was a it was a time that I
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: looked fa back on.
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: And I don't even know if I'm saying it right,
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: but it's a time I look back on.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: And I appreciate it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: I really appreciated being a part of the Yankee.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Organization of representing any work.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You know, that's beautiful and everybody remembered where they were that.
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: Day and for for you be poppy, you got a
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: chance to be one of the voices of Boston at
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: the the Boston A Marathon.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: And the tragedy.
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: They're what was it like to be a part of
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: bringing that great city together?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Like they're say, you know, we only think of how
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: important that means what we do and do something like
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: that yourself, on something like that, yourself, you're not thinking
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: about baseball, you're not thinking about winning. You think thinking
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: about the community. You're thinking about the cities. You think
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: about the city. Uh, how how hard that city have
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: worked to be able to begin to be what it is.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, some this this type of
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: tragedy happens, you know, and it's like you say, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: when Night eleven went down, everybody remember what you were
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: doing at the moment where you were I you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: me being from the Dominican Republic, you know, New York
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: is loaded of Dominican people, and when the nine eleven happens,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of people from my country and losing the life,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you know. And and when something like that happened, it
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter where you're from, you know, all you focus
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: on is everything that is going on with everybody, people
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: from everywhere worldwide suffering. Uh, this type of tragedy all
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: you want to do. And I wasn't warring, Uh there choose,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: but I can't imagine blame for New York at the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: time what it means because when when when the bombing
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: happened in Boston, it was something that he basically make
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: everything and stop as well. And at the time, you're
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: not thinking about why you have to do it between
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: those lines, You're thinking about how you can get that
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: city going, you know. And I remember, you know, they
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: handing me the microphone like five minutes before I went
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: out there and say what I said, But I was
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: just acting, not like Deve Root is the baseball player.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I was hactening like Dave Root is the city seat.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Because I will say this what I said at the moment,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I will say anybody can say it even more. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the good thing is that everybody embrace that. And and
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and we started moving on.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you remember what he said, right, he said,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this might have been the city And that was really
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a moment that I think united Boston and made Boston strong,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: truly real after that horrible bombing of the Boston I mean,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: no one thought that could ever happen anyway, hearing about
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that and perspectives from both Cheater, who of course got
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to shake the hand of President Bush before the World
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Series in two thousand and one when that electric first
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: pitch happened, and then actually last year President Bush again
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: throwing the World Series at throwing out the first pitch
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the World Series featuring the Diamondbacks, and who was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: interviewing President Bush, W Bush, Derek Jeter, and I thought
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that was such a full circle moment in a way.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And of course Jeter or Teaz are on Fox Sports
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and together night every Saturday, the mL beyond Fox, him
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and Ortiz and a Rod and Kevin Burkher.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And it was just motivation.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Now I've been fortunate because I got to hear Alex
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez and Ortiz give a talk at Aspire Tour, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I regretfully did not play that for you yet. So
• 12:15

  Speaker 9: It is last night you told me something that has
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: nothing to do.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: With baseball and nothing to do with business.
• 13:55
  Speaker 12: But it really it really I I was thinking about
• 13:57
  Speaker 12: it at two o'clock in the morning, and maybe it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 12: better an in review.
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: Poppy told me something.
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: About how important our mothers are, and I wanted.
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: To talk about Angelo Vertise, Pompy's mother, who passed about.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Twenty years ago. Uh, I had the great opportunity.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: To see and played for like five years.
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: But maybe sure with them popular what you think is
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: in less than thirty cents or a minute, the importance
• 14:20
  Speaker 12: of spending time with her parents, with their mothers in
• 14:23
  Speaker 12: the unique love, but our mother's not.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: For their children.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I thought I was beautiful, you know, basically in our
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: career and we we normally, I moved me through fast.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: Sometimes I were kid as big as small, you know.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: But I went through sot pig in due thousand at
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: nineteen when I got shot, and I almost was my life,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: you know. And since that moment and I realized how
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: important like my family alway have been a big bottle
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: of what I am. I'm a family guy, you know.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But because you moved me so fast business, uh your
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: career this now sometime you don't take that time spend
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: time with your family, you know. So since that happened,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I remember I'm in the room surrounding by my whole
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: family on a daily basis. I was a hospital for
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: two months, and I realized that without my family, it
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: was nothing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: It doesn't matter whatever she'll do, you know. So I
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: always a preci to my boy right here.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Hey listen, I know you got too much when you play,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: but that's one thing that you never want to mess.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It's time with your family, because you know what, I
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: left my mom like twenty years ago, and it's like
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: you help and guess it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: I always go back in the memory the other great
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: things that I lived.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: With her in DC and that and the one thing
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: that gave me bee is that while she was alive,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I w was sayble to be there for her like
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: she was with me, like you was for me. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: since that was a a baby boy, you know what
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I was basically talking to my boy
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: last night. This guy I had never listened to this
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Don saman against Domanic, this guy.
• 16:05

• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I never heard this guy talking into Vorneball not the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: most bases it like when you talk about.
