  Here's your host, Alex Derrett. Well, a big thanks to those who
• 0:10
  listened last night as we were love and live from the Eli Stam Usual All
• 0:16
  Star Weekend. Thanks to Gabby for being part of the announcing and anthony of
• 0:22
  the Eli Duck's staff, and of course to the man Jimmy Rose for always
• 0:27
  including us in the Eli stam Usual family, Bob Depot, the Commissioner,
• 0:33
  and Richard Micah as well. So great night. The ballpark even got a
• 0:38
  home run call in there, and that was a three run moonshot from a
• 0:43
  guy by the name Nick Barone. And you may not have heard of him
• 0:47
  in the major in the baseball world, but he plays for the Long Island
• 0:51
  Cobras, and he smacked a huge three run homer down the left field line,
• 0:59
  actually deep left field, not just on the line. I mean it
• 1:02
  cleared the fences. And as a matter of fact, I wanted to play
• 1:07
  the call, but I also wanted to play you. I mean, his
• 1:14
  reaction last night was pretty priceless, I gotta say, and it was sort
• 1:19
  of sweet and to the point, and I wanted to play you. Nick
• 1:23
  Bron's thoughts after the game because it was just kind of cool marching down the
• 1:34
  field, and here was Nick Brone. All right, Well, I wasn't
• 1:44
  gonna do a postgame recap, but this guy, Nick Baroni or alongside three
• 1:48
  runs shot to deep left fields. Come on, how did you know off
• 1:52
  the bat? Or what ye straight? Off the bat? Both the feeling
• 1:55
  and the sound of it? Now have you played here before? And where
• 1:57
  the parapherial properties ballpark? Sol? Would it like playing on this field in
• 2:00
  general? And you know l I Sam usual DoD you like playing in the
• 2:04
  league. Yeah, it's an amazing play here. It's a different feeling.
• 2:07
  Well, hopefully got some video, but I got the call for you,
• 2:09
  so I'd love to sink him up if you got the video of that.
• 2:12
  So I don't think I had the video, but I think somebody might.
• 2:15
  Here you go, well, congratulates men today, take care and there you
• 2:19
  go, a very short post game rap with Nick Brone. He was very
• 2:27
  h succinct in his thoughts. He knew it was gone. And hopefully there's
• 2:30
  a video like there was last year of Kane Ruiz's home run. So if
• 2:36
  you didn't get a chance to listen to it, we'll put it in the
• 2:38
  links on the one Leg Up feature. Because I realized this is the main
• 2:42
  vein of the Alex Garrett podcast network. And if you're listening to the other
• 2:47
  features, that's great, But if you aren't, just click the link and
• 2:52
  then subscribe to either the Sports Spotlight or the Adapting with Alex s Garrett feature,
• 2:58
  which all July long, we'll have some stories of adaptability as we continue
• 3:05
  to do what they're calling Disability Pride Month and an honoring of the Americans or
• 3:10
  Disabilities Act, which is going to be thirty three years old this year.
• 3:15
  So that conversation, by the way, with the Center of Independent Disabled New
• 3:20
  Yorkers Taja of the transportation wing of CID Underscore NY, who can be found
• 3:28
  on Twitter with that user name, can be found in the description below with
• 3:34
  clickable links. So there you have it now. One a couple of other
• 3:38
  things that were gnawn at me over the weekend. Firstly, I wonder why
• 3:46
  July eighth is also not a national holiday. Do you know what happened on
• 3:51
  July eighth, nineteen, I'm sorry, seventeen seventy seven, a year and
• 3:57
  well really six days after we declared our independence. Remember we declared it on
• 4:01
  July second, seventeen seventy six today in History reminded me and taught me that
• 4:11
  on July eighth. On July eighth, the first state to abolish slavery was
• 4:17
  Vermont, and they certified it, they voted that as a law abolishing slavery.
• 4:27
  So while we talk about Juneteenth, what about July eighth. I mean,
• 4:31
  that's the first time slaves slavery was abolished here in America, and yet
• 4:38
  we only honor the last time, which was juneteenth. So I just thought
• 4:43
  a little historical background there for you would have been interesting. We went to
• 4:47
  the Yanks game today in sports and continue tradition of watching the Cubs come in
• 4:56
  like my dad started when I was six months old the way, and we
• 5:00
  went out to Yankee same him to watch the Cubs, who I know,
• 5:06
  and my dad's smiling right now. I could see him pretty proud that his
• 5:11
  team took two out of three from a very struggling Yankees team whose solution was
• 5:16
  let's fire the hitting coach, because that's been the main problem. I don't
• 5:21
  know, you lose Aaron Judge, you get some hitting here and there,
• 5:27
  but overall someone did have to take the fall, and they're not gonna put
• 5:30
  Aaron Boone on the firing seat, maybe not yet anyway, So they fired
• 5:35
  the hitting coach and Brian Cashman has very rarely made an in season firing.
• 5:43
  Of course, when George Simmerner was around that that was done by him.
• 5:53
  But today Dylan Lawson was fired as Brian Cashman in his twenty fifth season as
• 6:00
  general manager. I believe in his first ever in season change and so and
• 6:08
  that's a long history to not fire anybody, but I move out to be
• 6:12
  made. Someone had to take the fall. And when you got a lineup
• 6:15
  that looks depleted, it doesn't help. Judge is hurt, but again he
• 6:20
  can't have only forty nine wins heading in the All Star break. You just
• 6:26
  you just can't. And that reminds me Aaron. Judge did post today on
• 6:33
  his Instagram the following message, which I thought you might want to know if
• 6:40
  you're a huge sports aficionada. I want to take the time to thank you
• 6:44
  to the fans who voted me in as a starter for the twenty twenty three
• 6:48
  All Star Game in Seattle. I feel truly blessed to be included in this
• 6:53
  group about sending players. But the breaking news is, unfortunately I will not
• 7:00
  be making the trip to Seattle, writes Aaron Judge. He will take this
• 7:03
  time to heal and rehab so he can get back on the team field for
• 7:09
  my team and for all of you. Again, I can't think the fans
• 7:13
  of MLB enough. You are all a huge part of what makes the game
• 7:16
  so great and I cannot wait to get back out there. That's the Judge
• 7:20
  forty four Captain, Oh captain, we will miss you in Seattle, but
• 7:25
  we as a fan base should be excited that he's taking the time to heal
• 7:29
  and rehab to get back on the field now when earlier later in the season,
• 7:34
  maybe before off season hits, maybe before September, who knows, But
• 7:40
  it's a it's a respectable move not to go all the way to Seattle when
• 7:46
  you are hurt, when your toe is truly screwed up and you need to
• 7:51
  rehab it for the rest of the season and actually possibly avoid surgery in season.
• 7:56
  We'll have to see if they can do that. So that's Aaron's post
• 8:01
  today and I respect him for it. I respect him for it. And
• 8:05
  then the last thing I wanted to mention, we create a new Instagram here
• 8:11
  in these on this podcast Alex G. The Fanatic, A lot of fanatic
• 8:16
  stuff, a lot of sports stuff on the page which you don't want to
• 8:20
  miss. Alex G. The Fanatic will deals with some fanatics, endorsements,
• 8:26
  certain product endorsements and so much more. So follow right now, Alex G.
• 8:31
  The Fanatic and finally, Kudo Adios and thanks for a fifty year career
• 8:41
  of Elton John, who actually played his final concert last night in Sweden in
• 8:46
  Stockholm. One quick story, Billy Cannell ahead of the Madison Square Garden security
• 8:56
  actually brought my dad and I right down to behind backstage where Elton John was
• 9:03
  going in for our costume change. I remember looking down as he went into
• 9:07
  that changing room and they took a prief second smiled when as Mary Way and
• 9:13
  went up watching the rest of concert. But that was a definite memory of
• 9:18
  Elton John on tour in the last over fifty years and our own little piece
• 9:24
  of it at Madison Square Garden. So Elton, congratulations on an incredible career.
• 9:31
  We hope your health stays well and that even if you're not on tour,
• 9:39
  your music of course lasts forever. I'm Alex Skirrett with this, Alex
• 9:48
