  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, let me
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: talk to you folks, because I'm so excited that this
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: is League Championship Series week in New York. Okay, this
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is a League Championship Series in New York. And last
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: night the Yanks kicked it off right with a victory
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in Game one against the Guardians. Luke Weaverman ice in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: his veins, five out save. You love to see it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You love to see Soto getting a first postseason homer
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with the Yankees, I believe. And then you also love
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to see that Judge is running and contributing because you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the big thing was what was he gonna do coming
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: into the series. He's been a big factor. And you
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: love to see Rizzo getting the bat on the ball,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a few good swings and whatnot. Now, now here is
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the beauty of all of this. It feels like we're
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: back in twenty four years ago and twenty five years
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: ago when the Yankees and Mets were in the NLCS
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and ALCS, and of course the two thousands editions led
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to the Yankees and Mets into the World Series. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for me, that could be a whole chapter in a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: book because that time twenty five years ago, who was
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: my biggest, you know player I followed and even dressed
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: up as Mike Piazza as someone who liked, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: being behind the plate and being catcher. And actually we
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: had catcher's gear when I was really young young it
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: was Mike Piazza, and Piazza was on the Mets. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: while I were Yankee gear and I love being on
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, Piazza just had a grippa me. And then
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden August of two thousandand or September
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of two thousand, there I am with my dad meeting
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: George Timeberner. So this is bringing up this whole week
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is bringing up a lot of memories for me because
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I've literally was in the Piazza jersey one day and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: then I'm in the Yankee parade the next day. But
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that's how connected my dad and I were in this city.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: We would roll in to Yankee Stadium and Chase Stadium
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: for all these playoff games, and I kind of missed
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that at thirty three. I love that we just rolled
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: into the both Shay and Yankee and had quite a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: time in the picnic area or in the stadium club.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: We were cross Town all the time. There were times
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: where we go to a Yankee game in the in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the afternoon, in a MET game at night, or a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Met playoff game in the daytime Yankee game at night.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was a Rock and City twenty five
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: years ago, and it feels like we're back there. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: haven't felt this energy in New York City, with all
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the bars are showing up and supporting, with the fans
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: wearing their Yankee blue pin stripes and their Met pin stripes,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and there were blue and orange. I haven't felt that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in a long time. So as a baseball enthusiast, as
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a Yankees fan, predominantly Yankee fan now, but with the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: soft spot for the match limits put that way. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: love seeing both teams in it, I really do. But
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it brings me back to that era, the Bobby vi era,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the Joe Torre era. Just talk with Tino Martinez a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: few months ago. He was on that team with the Yankees.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You know, al lighter, good guy. Got to know him
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: over the years. Jay Payton another guy, you know. Jay
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Payton was in the mix of all that run and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we spent New Year's Eve ringing in the New Year.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I believe it was the millennium with Jay Payton and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: an arcad, you know, playing golf, that video game of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: golf at the Sheratton Hotel in the restaurant when two
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: thousand happened. Turk Windell, let me tell you ster about
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Turk Windell. You remember him from the two thousand and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: then nine Mets when he was traded to the Phillies.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He actually came out of the bullpen and said hi
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to my dad and I specifically because he remember that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: from his time with the Mets. So m Franco Subway Series.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: We're sitting in the stadium club with John Franco's brother
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and he's so nervously watching his brother pitch and nervously
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: watching the game. We were there at ninety nine for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the grand single by Robin Manchura. We were at the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: World Series game oh oh, first game that extended it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: back by Paul o'neo that changed everything in that series.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: We were there in game three when Jeter hit the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: leadoff over and I was in Droor Torrey's office, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: kind of asking him, are you gonna bat him leadoff?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And he said yes, and then sure enough he batted
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: him lead off, and I thought I'd called the leadoff
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: home run, because sure enough, that's how the series started
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: at shay the shady portion of it anyway. So when
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I look back at look at this week of twenty
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: twenty four, I'm very hard pressed not to look back
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: at what the glory days of ninety nine and two
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thousand were. Even ninety eight had a little specifics specialty
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to it, but then nine two thousand I remember vividly,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and so I feel like, if I'm gonna write a book,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that has to be a chapter because it gets what
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I can freely say this now because George Steinbrenner in
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: his suite said to me, do you know do you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: go to met games? Something losting over there said yes, sir,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: we have connections there. So even he knew how connected
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in the baseball world my dad and I were. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: twenty four years later, in this social media empire that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: w that is, I end up posting about my dad
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in the Yankees Empire group, which you should definitely join
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: us at the Yankees Empire on x twenty thousand members.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I might actually put the link in my description to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Empire where twenty thousand growing darth, envy and uh

  Speaker 1: Jacob Baron Drew We've got out before running that really well.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But to see my dad honored after I posted about Howard.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You know he's walking out the East Stadium. There's a jersey.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It just start stay in Jersey, and I'm just like, well,

• 7:33

  Speaker 1: see my dad and the Yankees Empire group being honored
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and people beating off my posts about Pops, yeah, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: think he would want the Yankees to win it. All
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I really do was a New York baseball fan and
• 7:55
