Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right.
- 0:01Speaker 2: On a lighter note, there was some fun sports news
- 0:04Speaker 2: last night.
- 0:04Speaker 3: On One leg Up Alex Sports.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, if you haven't been following, not only shook
- 0:10Speaker 2: the hand of President Trump this week, but he's passed
- 0:13Speaker 2: two Yankee legends.
- 0:15Speaker 3: On the franchise home run list.
- 0:16Speaker 4: Earlier in the week, he passed Yogi Barra for fifth well,
- 0:21Speaker 4: last night he passed Jolton Joe DiMaggio for fourth place
- 0:26Speaker 4: on the Yankees All time list.
- 0:28Speaker 2: And while I'd love to play you a call from
- 0:30Speaker 2: Michael Kay, we couldn't do that because the greed of
- 0:34Speaker 2: the MLB to partner with Apple TV robbed us of
- 0:39Speaker 2: Michael being able to call Judges milestone.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Homer.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yes, he called sixty two in twenty twenty two, but
- 0:47Speaker 2: I wanted him behind the mic for these different milestones
- 0:49Speaker 2: as well, especially with Sterling retired. Michael Kay is sort
- 0:53Speaker 2: of that that lasting voice. So I'm not gonna play
- 0:57Speaker 2: Apple TV. Plus out of respect to Michael Kay, I
- 1:00Speaker 2: wish he was there to call it last night, and
- 1:02Speaker 2: he would have been electric, a little more electric than
- 1:04Speaker 2: Apple TV. And while Aaron Judges three hundred and sixty
- 1:10Speaker 2: second Homer does pass Joe DiMaggio. One record I don't
- 1:16Speaker 2: think will ever be broken by any Major leaguer, Yankee
- 1:19Speaker 2: or not, also deals with the Yankee Clipper Joelton.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Joe DiMaggio has made plenty of baseball history. Back in
- 1:29Speaker 1: July second, nineteen forty one, for example, his bat smashed
- 1:33Speaker 1: Wee Willie Keeeler's record of nearly half a century or
- 1:37Speaker 1: safe hits and consecutive games with a lion drive into
- 1:41Speaker 1: the stands. Joe turned a new page in baseball history.
- 1:45Speaker 1: He made it forty five. But he didn't stop there.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Demaggio finally came through with safe hits in fifty six
- 1:53Speaker 1: consecutive games. That's an all time record set by the
- 1:58Speaker 1: Yankee Clipper Joe DEMAIGII foody amazing.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And by the way, I was looking for Dave Simms's
- 2:04Speaker 2: call last night, but I can't find it. F An,
- 2:07Speaker 2: let us know where we can find Dave Simms Call
- 2:10Speaker 2: of the Mouse on Homer, because he is now the
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yankee voice on the radio. But but the cool thing
- 2:19Speaker 2: about fifty six is, oh, Aaron Judge knows about it
- 2:22Speaker 2: and was asked about that and passing Jolt and Joe
- 2:25Speaker 2: last night on the S Network.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Thanks to Meredith Morokovitz and the media.
- 2:30Speaker 5: It's during the season, but officially number four on the
- 2:34Speaker 5: on the all time list.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Just your your thoughts on that. Thank you.
- 2:41Speaker 5: It's it's it's special, you know. But just like all
- 2:44Speaker 5: those guys in front of me and on those lists,
- 2:47Speaker 5: and they weren't playing for records, you know, they were
- 2:50Speaker 5: playing to win. So I'm just trying to follow on
- 2:54Speaker 5: their footsteps. Now I'm here to win. I'm trying to
- 2:56Speaker 5: help put this team in the best position every single night.
- 2:58Speaker 5: You know, that comes with Homer's comes with you know,
- 3:00Speaker 5: big moments like that. It's it's pretty cool. But you know,
- 3:03Speaker 5: I think all those guys in front of me, and
- 3:05Speaker 5: especially to Majia, all those guys, they've played, you know,
- 3:09Speaker 5: to win in New York and win for this team.
- 3:11Speaker 5: So I'm gonna keep trying.
- 3:12Speaker 2: To do that.
- 3:12Speaker 5: And we can talk about the mouse ones at the end.
- 3:14Speaker 2: How are you gonna try for a fifty six game?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Dinky straight can match him there too.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think I'm getting that one. We can
- 3:20Speaker 5: think that one's untouched, and.
- 3:22Speaker 2: I agree with the Yankee captain on that one. Fifty
- 3:24Speaker 2: six is seemingly untouchable.
- 3:27Speaker 3: But hey, we didn't think.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Someone would come in here in the Yankee world and
- 3:32Speaker 2: smash the record of Yogi, Bearra and Joelton Joe And
- 3:38Speaker 2: now lou Gerritt is right in front of Aaron Judge's path,
- 3:43Speaker 2: So we'll see if he can pass the iron horse next.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's surpassing some truly remarkable legends along
- 3:50Speaker 2: his own career. But you know when he talks about
- 3:54Speaker 2: bringing the ring home and doing what these guys did,
- 3:58Speaker 2: which was bring rings home to the Yankee Stadium, to
- 4:02Speaker 2: the Yankee fan to New York City, I mean, that's
- 4:05Speaker 2: what Jamaggio, Garret, Ruth Barra did And now it does
- 4:10Speaker 2: feel like the true way to cement his legacy is
- 4:13Speaker 2: to bring home that ring. It's been sixteen long years,
- 4:20Speaker 2: and it's been seven and eight seven or eight years
- 4:22Speaker 2: of heartbreak, and I know Aaron Judge wants to reverse that.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I know he wants to get his postseason on track now,
- 4:36Speaker 2: but there's no doubt in his voice and everybody around
- 4:41Speaker 2: who's a Yankee fan a ring would truly cement his
- 4:47Speaker 2: already legendary career. And I'm hopeful because he sounds like
- 4:55Speaker 2: he knows that's the plan.
- 4:56Speaker 3: That's the point.
- 4:57Speaker 2: It's not about these milestones, it's about winning in the Bronx.
- 5:02Speaker 2: That's why they kept them for nine more years. A
- 5:04Speaker 2: couple of years back. We'll see what happens. Yanks still
- 5:10Speaker 2: have a big series to win this weekend against the
- 5:13Speaker 2: Red Sox before we can even think about October. They
- 5:15Speaker 2: still have a division to try and capture before we
- 5:18Speaker 2: can think of October. But it is fun to highlight
- 5:24Speaker 2: some of these moments and a big win last night.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the pitching. They finally settled down.
- 5:32Speaker 2: That bullpen that struggled against Detroit comes back around, Bendnar
- 5:36Speaker 2: doing his thing. I know, I said de Vaal, but
- 5:38Speaker 2: it looks like Bendner is the right closer for this team.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And Devin Williams even had a solid outing last.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Night as well.
- 5:46Speaker 2: So today all as well as Yankee and Yankee Lynn
- 5:49Speaker 2: just got to continue that. As Judge continues to smash records,
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yank's got to keep smashing these games and winning them
- 6:01Speaker 2: as they look to not only get a wildcard, but
- 6:04Speaker 2: are they are individual sites too.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Let's not think they aren't. They are.
- 6:12Speaker 2: So that's it for now. That's my one leg up
- 6:14Speaker 2: Alex Sports Update, Aaron Judge breaking Jolt and Joe DiMaggio's
- 6:19Speaker 2: record and is now three sixty two in homers. And
- 6:23Speaker 2: by the way, he's been with the Yankee for every
- 6:24Speaker 2: one of those homers since twenty sixteen, and it's been
- 6:29Speaker 2: quite a ride to watch him swing. And I've always
- 6:33Speaker 2: said since twenty seventeen, all the kid has to do
- 6:35Speaker 2: is flick the wrist and it's gone.
- 6:38Speaker 3: That's how natural, that's how simple it feels.
- 6:44Speaker 2: When Aaron Judge can make contact, it's probably out of
- 6:46Speaker 2: the yard. And when it isn't and it's a double
- 6:49Speaker 2: in a single, you know his hitting is on the
- 6:51Speaker 2: mark as well. And one last thing I mentioned WFAN,
- 6:56Speaker 2: I gotta congratulate gotta congratulate John Boy Media, who's getting
- 7:01Speaker 2: a new show from two to three pm on w
- 7:05Speaker 2: fa N Jake and John Boy.
