 We got the local fan favorite, New York Yankee. Rob Maranaccio with us, dude. Thank you so much for popping on the feed. You got some great Instagram posts. You ready to check them out? Yeah, let's do it. First one, growing up on the Jersey Shore, here you are. Dude, young flamethrower, what do you got? Yeah, I mean, that looks like a kid right there just trying to find his way, having fun. Thanks for getting a boss in Jersey out there, but I was still a Yankee fan at heart back then, but that brings me, those are some of the fun days back there playing Little League. Your neighborhood buddies playing for them, and it seems pretty big at that point. And you mentioned the Red Sox hat and the team that you're on. It was always kind of cool if you were on the Diamond Bax or something like that, like a team that wasn't a local trash state or any team, wasn't it? Absolutely, that was the fun part about Little League. Everybody felt like you're a part of that team. I remember being in the Mets, being on the Mets, and having uncles and stuff that were Mets fans, so that was cool. So you get to just have a little imagination and be a part of a different team. Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth because you actually were on the Mets at one point. There you go. Look at that, look at that hair too. Dude, you got some flow back then. I know you don't have it now, but you had it then. Absolutely, yeah. I remember me and my brother, Robus, grew on our hair back then. I don't know if it was, I didn't feel like getting a haircut or if I liked it, but it was all right back then, I guess. Yeah, it looked good. Are we ever gonna see that on the mound here at Yankee Stadium? Not at Yankee Stadium, no. I'll be over the collar there, so. We showed the Red Sox jersey, we showed the Mets one. Here you are, rocking your Yankees gear to your big Yankee fan. Yeah, yeah. My mom dug this one up for me when I got added to the 40 Man. You don't think about it back then. You're just thinking about having fun playing baseball and for me rooting for the guys, playing for the Yankees, and now it's cool for me to look back on that and look at what I would be looking up to, basically. Here you are with your family. Was it said Yankee game and also two? Whose bobblehead is that? It looks like maybe Jeter. That's my uncle and my cousin on my mom's side. I wanna say that was my first Yankee game that I came to. No way. Yeah, I think that was my first one. He took me to the Yankee game, we sat out in the bleachers. That's where we'd always sit when we come to a game. We sit out in the bleachers, the cheapest seats to get in here, but some of the funnest fans to be around. Yeah, and you got a bobblehead. Absolutely. This is the first time that you ever actually put on the real pinch stripes. How special was this for you? Yeah, I mean, that was cool. And that's like in the organization, the only time you wear those pinch stripes is in that rookie ball until you get back up here. So it's a cool thing to put on the pinch stripes. I remember snapping pics and my buddies back home, like, you know, this is pretty cool. And we obviously all thought we were pretty cool in this picture too, so. I know, this is like the one picture where you're not smiling on your face, which, you got a big smile on this one, jumpsuit in January? Yep, yep. So you got that going on with the fam? So one of my friends, his older brothers, they all have a bunch of little kids now and stuff too, so they thought it would be fun for new years. We did jumpsuit in January. Everybody wore different jumpsuits. They've been doing it for a few years, so this was the first year I got involved and it was a good time. Yeah, just like this one, right? So what made you go with this look right here? Honestly, it was me and my fiance. We went to the mall the night before and I think we ended up at like Foot Locker or just one of those and just went through all their jumpsuits and picked out when I got nice little suede one, it was comfortable and that was the main thing I was going for. I love it, I love it. All right, you said some of your boys and family members, who are these guys? Introduce us to the crew. Next to me is my buddy John. This is one of my best friends. He's gonna be in my wedding coming up in December. And then that's his older brother, Micu. I mean, I was going over these guys' houses when I was like six years old and Micu was probably like in high school at that point. He's a bit older than us, so he was one of the guys we looked up to and he originated Jumpsuit January, or for our friends at least. Dude, we might have to bring that Jumpsuit January theme to Yankee Stadium, maybe sometime in June. That would be fun. Kind of like a lighter one, you know, maybe not this way that you were rocking, but. That would be fun, yeah. I'm sure New Yorkers would get a kick out of that. All right, so next picture, dude. I know you're kidding around about the Jumpsuit, but you actually put it together really well, man. Check out the suit. Yeah, that's not bad. That was my buddy Sean Semple. He's in triple A with us right now. This was his wedding out in Texas. It was a really cool spot. That was my first time going out to Texas and good friends, good family there. That was a good time. Congratulations, you mentioned your wedding coming up. Here you are. Give us the story behind this proposal. Okay, so this is a street in Philly here. Funny story, we picked my fiance's cousin up from the airport from the train station that day in Philly and she was coming with us. Like she was our photographer, so she was coming along for it just to try and, you know, not make it too obvious. And so we're walking and I don't remember the name of the street, but it turned out there was two streets with the same name within like five blocks, so we're walking and we ended up on the street where I thought I was gone and luckily I texted my buddy and I was like, hey, I'm on the street and it was like a back alley. I was like, I don't know where I'm at and he like immediately sent me a location which we were only like a two minute walk away from so it ended up working out and he saved the day for me but it's a special moment to look back on. She's been with me for a long time through all the minor leagues, so she's enjoying this just as much as everybody else too and she deserves it. Totally dude. I mean, you guys go way back here. She is looking great. Super excited, super happy and here's the throwback picture too. You guys right on the water. So where was this and how long you guys been dating for? We started dating in college, my junior year and this I wanna say was on a cruise. I think we went to Bermuda with my family when we graduated college in 2017. So I was actually one of the better vacations that I've been on still. I loved going to Bermuda. I thought it was a really cool spot and the cruise was cool too. Always something to do on the cruise and we went with a couple other friends too so it was always action, something to do, having some drinks, whatever it might be but it was a really good time there. That's right. All right, take it home with this one. This might have been on that vacation or maybe on the Jersey Shore but. This one's in Tampa here actually. There you go. This was during one of, maybe she came down to visit me during one of my times down spring training or something but that was right by the Chase Suites Hotel. They had a little bit of a jet ski area there so we ran jet skis one day. Got out on the water, that was a good time. What would you say is your favorite part about social media and sharing all these experiences with the fans? You know, just seeing all their interactions. You know, seeing how excited New York is. How excited like a lot of my family and friends get. You know, just seeing everybody else enjoy it. Interacting with some of the people that you know, you would have never bumped into on there is, it's always fun and you know, just everybody enjoying it. It's really cool. So people do want to interact with you. Where should they go? Shoot at your social media platforms. Now's the time for the plug and what do you have to offer? Watch somebody follow you. Just Instagram, you know, I'm off of Twitter a little bit. I think Twitter's a little crazy sometimes so I stay off of there but. It's smart. Instagram is fun for me. You know, people bouncing comments on my pics. I like to comment on some of other people's pics to see what everybody else is going on. So I'll get back to people on there. There you go. All right, Ron Marinaccio. Dude, thank you so much for helping on the team, brother. Absolutely. Thanks for having me.
