  Speaker 1: Hunts and deals swung line and then they are to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: left field and deep that.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Ball is high, that is far, that has gone. It's
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: a grand slam.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Anthony Volpe put a charge in one, a grand slam
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to left field, and the Yankees now to take up
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: five to lead Man oh Man.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: So many intrinsic connections and synchronicities and feelings tonight as
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the Yankees avoid elimination down three to zero, led by
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: the hometown kid. I guess you call him home down
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Euro tonight, Anthony VOPEI. Yes, Anthony Vopei, the shortstop who
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: is in the shadow very much so of number two. Well,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: he had a breakout moment tonight in the World Series,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: as you just heard from John Sterling. I'm sure you
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: watch the game, but I have a lot of personal
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: thoughts about this because here we are watching in the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: post game Anthony Volpi and Derek Jeter chop it up
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: about that grand Slam and the fact that, yes, Volpi
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: was in the parade. And then you add a Rod
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: who also, of course was on the fifteen that nineteen
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: fifteen years ago. Chills. But the picture of the shortstop legend,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Derek Jeter and the shortstop of now, Anthony Volpi should
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: be shared everywhere and we'll live on forever. As this
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: was a generational moment on Fox Sports's MLB World Series coverage,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: kicked off by Kevin Burkhart.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna let you start right here with a guy
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: that that you know very well, Derek Jeter, who was
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: watching you to join your plate tonight.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Go there. First of all, before I asked you a question, man,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: how does it feel a World Series Grand Slam? Man
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: had look at this?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: No, the wins hit me, nothing else was hit me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Yet I like it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So the question I have for you, it seemed like, look,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we all know we've been talking about this before sometimes
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: team team wide, you got hot streaks?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Do you have cold streaks?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It seems like it goes throughout the whole life. After
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you hit your grand Slam, it looked like everyone exhaled
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in that dugout and they were much better at that.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: What was the feeling like after you came and you
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: guys finally had a lead.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was great. I mean Louis Louis.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Cut us in it the whole game, and then there's
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: so many great at bats saloon up the bases Obviously
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the guys have really good stuff, But I don't know.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: We just have so much trust in each other that it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Could be me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: It could be it could have been Risy at that before,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: It could be in Wells behind me. But I think
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: just having that confidence in everyone was the biggest thing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: They got it with you, man, because you're running out
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: out's good job.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: It went an amazing, amazing day for the hometown kid.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: My producers get mad at Bass more than one. But
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: IM gonna ask you a three part question on this
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Grand Slam. What was your approach? Did you know it
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: was gone? And how did it feel when you saw
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: it go out? And hear the three So if you
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: don't forget.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Approach ther same. I'm just trying to get on time
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: for heat and beasy. That's my those are my keys
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: to keep it simple, to see the ball, be easy,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: and be on time for the heater. So I mean
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you never got it? Did you know you got it?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: No?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't know. I was hustling. I didn't know I
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: got it, but and then I blocked out right when.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: It went out.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Anthony, congratulations on the wind tonight. Listen, you got caught
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: off in in the base run with the ball he
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: to center field. But let me tell you what you
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: did tonight that really made to be came to be
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: a fan of yours. I said, young player, you never
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: give up and never let.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: That get in you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Hey, you went out there and continue competing. You came
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: and hit a home bro, you came in catch some
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: you picked some ball over there, Betty tough ha. I mean,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: what would you mind say after you made that mistayed
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: running the base and then going back up before my
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: the highest whatever you feel like you did, thank you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

  Speaker 2: Obviously, I saw me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I gotta be better.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, you practice those plays and that's easy one
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: out read it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: But I was confident. Are you picking me off?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: And just him doing that knowing that he's got my
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: back and I'm gonna have his. I mean that's all
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: you can.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Ask for a couple of things. First of all, this
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: guy said he's gonna swing at the first pitch, called
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: that one and the result, So you guys are thinking
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: along the same way. Second, were the first Yankee to
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: scored three runs in a World Series games since he
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: did it. Third, this is fun. We should have joined
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the broadcast. You know the picture, but you at the
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: parade with the family. Here you go, the picture of
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the monitor down to your left. For you to be
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: there and watch these guys win it and be at
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the parade, and then for you to be out here
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: tonight do what you doing for your family to watch.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: What does that mean you?
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it means the world. I mean the Yankees and
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: the organization and growing up watching these guys had such
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: a big impact on my life, on my relationships, my
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: relationships with my parents, with my sister, everyone, and I
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: mean the memories watching them we still talk about. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: think that's what makes the Yankees Yankees, and the city
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: and these fans and everything about it. I mean, there's
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: nothing like that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Well one, you should have been in school instead of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: being at that range. Right so right now, just think
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about it. Man, You're a few wins away.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Keep it going.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You got a lot of kids now in the New York,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: New Jersey area that want to grow up and BEU.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So congratulations man, Thank you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: The Humble reaction to being interviewed by his idol Derek Jeter,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the crowd cheering voltey vote b H after the crowd
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: cheering vote b vote by after his even sliding stop
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: it Short, in which he was a dirty jersey and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: that that's how hard he played tonight is Yankees pinstriped,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: muddied up in a rainy night in the Bronx. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Derek Jeter saying, there are a lot of kids watching
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: VOLTI I don't know if I should feel old or
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: feel nostalgic because how many of us kids were watching
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Derek Jeter as kids growing up wanting to be like
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: that at short at the plate. And there have been
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: frustrations with Volpi much. There were you know, when the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: jeer came up in ninety six and let you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: tailor a nine to five. But this was the diamond
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: in the rough moment. You are down three to zero
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to a Dodger team that shut you down, and then
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: you hit this grand slam that is so cool, Anthony
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: won't be I'm so happy for you, and I think
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: this whole city's proud of you. Man. This is cool.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And then to watch that generational moment between Derek and Volpi.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: It's not full circle yet because the Yanks haven't won
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: it yet, but it does feel like a a moment
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: a generational moment, and if they do the inevitable, I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: just gonna say, right now, push it to Friday. You
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: can't get greedy and say push it to game seven
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: and win. You just gotta take it one game at
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a time. Of course, we all like to push the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: game seven and win game seven, but one game at
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: a time. And if they have to go back to LA,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I think the Yanks have a little more momentum than
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: they did when they first got there for games one
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and two. Baseball and even the World's heies like a series, right,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So you wanted the anksle to split, Okay, they didn't
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: do it. You wanted the Anks somehow to win two
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: out of three or sweep these three games. Well it
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: could be two out of three. But my main message
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: tonight is push it to Friday. And by the way,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: when I saw that interview with Volpi and Jeter, it
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: did stir up some memories because there was a moment
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in spring training when Dad and I were behind the
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: plate a few rows back and Derek was doing his
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: warm ups on the on deck circle and he literally
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: turned to my dad and I didn't remember me from
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: over the years. Obviously we know we met each other
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and see each other over the years, and he goes, oh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you're playing hooky. Huh. So when he told Volpi he
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: should have stayed in school, that felt like a moment
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: of Jeter not changing from seventeen eighteen years ago to now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: And I just loved it. I love the back and forth.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I wanted to play that conversation here on one leg
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: up with Alex Garrett, and I wanted to furthermore say
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: push it to Friday. That's what the Steve has to do.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Push it to Friday. I think Roberts will be less
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: relaxed tomorrow or later today, I guess, But I think
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the Yanks have woken up a little bit. So this
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: matchup with everybody clicking in Game four could make for
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: even more fireworks in Game five for the repby X community.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Where will be tomorrow night, most likely home, but you
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: know we'll be cheering on And it was an honor
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to once again be at the World Series, to see
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: this world series up close at Yankee, same with Gabby
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and though Game three was tough, just to be in
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: that moment, to be in Dodgers Yankees, Yankees, Dodgers World Series,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: something that has happened nineteen eighty one, by the way,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: was pretty freaking special, and we're thankful, and I'm certainly
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: thankful that that gift mister Simmoner gave my dad and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I next year's gonna be twenty five years continues to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: this day very special. And to people like Rob Golmanz
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: who continue it, and Haley and Renne Gron and Yari
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: and the staff at the Pepsi Lounge, I mean, all
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you guys very special. To my dad, as you guys know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and now Gabby and I and to myself forever. I mean,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: this has been a lifelong part of my journey. Talking
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: about a'll be talking about relationships and friendships. I mean,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the Yankees have been a circular and I guess more
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: integral part of my childhood and my era and I
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: made friends bonding over the Yankees over many years. So
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I understand what he's saying, and I believe the synchronosity
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: with him is that not only did I meet him
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: at the Today Show, but the Yanks had won the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: World Series after I turned nine in two thousand, because
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I met George Immer was eight years old, which was
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: September August September. Then I turned nine in October of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that year, October twentieth, and so there I was, at
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: nine years old at the parade at City Hall Park.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So the connection and the synchronousity with Anthony Wopie feels
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: very real. As I talk about this, and then you
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: talk about one more thing. A random World Series Cup
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: was sitting next to Gaby and I yesterday, and I
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: have to say this and all my dad's cups collection
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and love of cups, and you know him carrying that
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: cup out of Yankee same I got a picture of that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I did feel like he was watching some of that
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: game with us last night in the form of a cup.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Call me crazy, called me weird, But I do believe
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: our loved ones who have gone before us appear again
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: in signs. And that sign of the Yankee Dodger World
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Series Cup made me think my dad was watching with
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: us last night or Monday night. So it's going to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: be fun tonight. Garrett Cole, Jack Flaherty. Big matchup on
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Friday night, great pitching matchup Friday night? Will it live
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: up to another potential tonight? Will the Yanks offense stay alive?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: And have they awoken? Did this Grand Slam? Did that
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: wells double. I know it was a double and VOPEI
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: didn't score on that, but you know what, at the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: end of the day, that kickstarted something. So did that double?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Did that anywhere? They even got on the board against
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers early? Wake them up because they scored double
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: digits tonight and they had a Yankee esque game. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: for me, it's cool to talk about this not only
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: on Spreaker, but on Spotify and on iHeartRadio. It's not
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: just online radio. We are blacksting out to all your outlets. Spotify,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I'm a podcast, iHeartRadio, so we're I was having the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Sports Hour on one localized internet radio, which was amazing
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: and got my start. But here we are, fifteen years later,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: blasting these thoughts out and these moments out to you
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: on one leg up network wherever you may hear us.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And that is just first I say us, because it's
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: not just me. It's a team. It's Gabby, my executive
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: producer of Life. It's my family supporting this journey, is
• 14:35

  Speaker 3: up at nine. It's all of us together giving this
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: show one leg up on whatever talk we made I
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: may just to talk about so join us. As the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: funds just getting started. I do believe there could be
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: a brand new start to this series. We gotta get
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: there first. We gotta get to Friday and see what happens.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: And that's what Yanks gotta do tonight and real quick.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: How cool was it that John Sterling got to call
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: that grand slam that he's in the booth for this
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: World Series? And how fairytale would a comeback like this
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: be for him to say those words he said before fall.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Game over World Series over.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yankee's win done, Yankee's win.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: As I heard tonight, step one was done tonight, winning
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: and staving off elimination. First time that's been done since
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy. Now next of it to go where no
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: team down three to zero in the World Series has
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: gone before forcing a game six. Push it to Friday, Yankees,
