• 4:51
  Speaker 7: Legion State Tournament here like we used to a couple
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: of different times. So we're going to really push to
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: do that again because I think that was a really
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: good thing and it brings a lot to the community,
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: you know, as far as monetary and just people people
• 5:04

• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Legion obviously, way back to nineteen forty one, my family
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: supporting the team, and it's but waiting with the World
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Series back a few years ago and different state tournaments.

• 5:40
  Speaker 5: You know, we have guys that have played for us
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: before and a couple of new guys as well. But
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: as far as kind of the how we formed the team,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I think we're going to have a very talented, talented team.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: We'll be able to fire on all cylinders from everywhere.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: You know, outfields, outfield's good. We got some good catchers,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: we got some good pitchers infielders and good hitters, which
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I think would be solid teams that were putting out
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: both for the Braves and the Indians. We got guys
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: that played on the Indians last year, the Returners, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: we added a couple of new guys as well to
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: kind of fortify that and just continue to bring bring
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: good talent.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: For people who don't know. Tell us how the makeup
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: of the teams. What are the age for the Braves
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: and the Indians and how does that work? You got
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: up to I think it's up to eighteen or nineteen
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: on the the Indians.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: The younger team would be the Braves and those guys
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: would be the sixteens and the seventeen year olds, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: then the Indians there will be the nineteen and under.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: In the Indians, we would be playing in two different leagues,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: which would be the American Legion League and in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: d BACK Collegiate League, which kind of good competition there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Some of those are older, yes, yes, yes, they're pretty competitive,
• 7:13

  Speaker 7: And we're going to bring some guys in you know
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: that will just specifically be there for the d BAT
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: Collegiate League, you know, so we'll have our core American
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Legion guys that will play and they'll also play in
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: the d BAT League, but we're also going to bring
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: some guys in specifically for the d BAT League for

• 7:36
  Speaker 7: guide them through the experience of playing in the collegiate
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: level and also stay competitive in it. They were really
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: competitive in it last year, but we were really young too, We.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Had a lot of young guys, so we really.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Wanted to focus on bringing some some older guys in
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: to help with the d BAT stuff, to help guide
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: some of these younger guys in it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: So we're excited.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Awesome, Well we're to be doing it again and rest
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: to support the team and the community and the players.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, to be on a team like this. Obviously,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: they didn't just start playing baseball and they've been doing
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: it pretty much.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Their whole lives. I expect you guys had a similar path.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Us tell us a little bit of that about your
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: backstory and how you got it got to this point.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: When did you start playing baseball?
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I started playing at the age of four
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: years old, so been playing the game a little over
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: or just about twenty years, you know, with the youth experience,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: high school college and a little bit beyond college. So
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: my journey started in Western Oklahoma State College in Altus, Oklahoma.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: I'm a New York City kid. I'm from Queen's born
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: and raised. So I came out New York City to
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: play baseball in Altis, Oklahoma, and then played my two
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: juco seasons there, had pretty pretty solid years, caught some
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: attention from some very good anais long story short. Came
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: to Oklahoma Wesleyan from my junior college program. Uh, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: that's how I landed in.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville, K Yeah. I enjoyed a lot out here. You
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: like it? Oh, yeah, it's different from Queens.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little it's a little calmer.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: It's a little calmer.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: I definitely liked the calmness out here, the space, you know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: But and then played my thanks to COVID, played three
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: years at Oklahoma Wesleyan, had a great senior year, caught
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: attention from some independent ball teams. So it was blessed
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: with the opportunity to play three years of professional baseball.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: So yeah, just just here to give back honestly, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: and and put out better young men into the world.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: What makes you want to coach?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Just the game has molded me into the person I
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: am today.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: And if.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I can just go out and help a couple of
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: young men achieve their goals, it's just too valuable, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: where it's it's tough to explain and put into words,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: to be a stepping stone in these kids' journey and
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: uh man, it's I mean.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Those are so important. Yeah, just having a compass for
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: where I'm trying to go. And you know, sports is
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: a way to get that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I see that and.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: That business and you know, sometimes helping people find that
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: is really critical and helping them get going in a career.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: And you know, it doesn't just stop with sports. It
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: goes all the way.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: To care especially in baseball, you know, and we preach all,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: you know to all the youth and you know, even
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: the older players. It's such a game of failure and
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: you can learn so many life lessons that you can
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: carry on everyday life through this game that you can
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: in other sports, you know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And so that's what.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: We really really instill is is the lessons that you
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: learn that they can use for the rest of their
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: entire life, you know, and be.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Successful in life.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: And that's that's the main goal, is the success in
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: life if.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: You do learn those lessons because you're not in their
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: game where you're you're you know that if even if
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: you're a good bad or you're you're, you're gonna miss
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: the time or something.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: What about you?
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Cruz So kind of similar path with Vannie started playing
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: baseball at a very young age, probably if I can
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: remember correctly, it was around the age of five. Baseball
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: is a Baseball is a big thing, you know, as
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: growing up and coming from the Dominican Republic, baseball is
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: a big thing. You know, it's something that it's kind
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: of I would say.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's a culture thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: You go to every single family, every household in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Dominican public, they play baseball. You know, it's it's awesome
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: grow up playing baseball since the age of five, Born
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: in the Dominican Republic, raised in New York City.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Kind of like Dan just live.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, gotta represent, gotta represent New York Yankees.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, he probably doesn't like it. He's gonna be wearing

• 12:56
  Speaker 5: New York City, graduated from a high school in New

  Speaker 5: York City. And then, like I said, similar path, almost
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: identical to Danny.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I'm just a bit older than he is.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: First two years of college I go to Western Oklahoma
• 13:11

  Speaker 5: Western Oklahoma being coached by a gentleman called Kurt Russell.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: You know he molded us to be find find ball players.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: But more importantly, how to you know, carry yourself outside
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: of the field while still keeping that that baseball mentality,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: it taking it into the outside world. As far as

• 15:11
  Speaker 4: help create that. And congratulations to Wesley and for bringing
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: you guys to Bartlesville. That's one of the great things
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: about Bartlesville is is kind of a it's a unique
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: community for its size, but having the school, having the
• 15:26

  Speaker 4: there's a whole network of organizations and a community that
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: kind of wraps our arms around everybody and and creates
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: something that's bigger than it would be otherwise.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Said that, what about your storytelling?
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: So I just I've been here, born and raised here.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: I don't have New York or backstory of New York City.

• 16:39
  Speaker 7: and then also I was like, hey, I got a
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: competitive team, you want to come help me coach? He
• 16:45

• 16:48
  Speaker 7: organization here in town for the youth, top notch of baseball,

  Speaker 7: had it running. Our ideas aligned. Met Danny on a
• 16:57
