 Let's take a look at the manager the current manager of the Yankees Aaron Boone Taking some swings and Jack you had a chance to talk to him. What do you say about possibly playing? He said even though if you look at the lineups, which we haven't shown yet Mickey Rivers and Johnny Damon other respective leadoff hitters for this game Aaron Boone said there was some talk about him sneaking in there for one at bat leading off the old-timers game I don't know when I see a guy in the cage like this taking some serious swings I think this is a guy who's prepared to maybe get some swings during the game But you could also just sense Aaron Boone This is year two as the manager obviously but just the excitement for him as well Exchanging hugs and handshakes around the batting cage and to flash his point earlier I guarantee you that he's getting a lot of props from these old-timers who are saying wow You've won eight in a row. Wow. Where is this team going? Should I make plans for October? So great day for Aaron Boone. All right guys Meredith Brock. It's had a chance to catch up with the manager Let's listen to that All right, Aaron. It looks like you haven't lost it. You went deep. How are you feeling in the box right over the Budweiser sign? That felt good Danilo gave me some flips yesterday, so It's fun to get out here and see these guys and Hurt myself swinging the bat. I was gonna ask you when's the last time you really swung like that Yeah, that doesn't really happen so But Danilo gave me about 10 15 flips yesterday in the cage, so I'm good to go now I imagine we have that on video So is that gonna be on a loop in the clubhouse now? It may have to be yeah, you know You got to show the guys you still got something in there I know you have a lot of preparation for today's game, but are you gonna play at all in the old-timer set game? I don't know it just kind of depends what what? What I have to do pre-game and I might come out and sneak in a bat or something What kind of guys I asked Marcus this question is that what can your current guys on the roster learn from some of these guys out here? well, you're talking to someone that Grew up as the ultimate fan of this game So for me getting to see these guys You know these are a lot of these guys that if I didn't play with them I watched them in my childhood and was such a fan of the game So it's like pinch me moments for me But I think it's great when you can kind of connect with the players that paved the way and kind of went before you I think it's a lot of fun for not only these guys, but I think a lot of our guys as well Aaron. Thanks for the time
