 quite a night all the way around. You break Ron Gidry's single season strikeout record, Aaron Judge, the new American League home run king. How do you process all this in one evening? It was funky first standing for sure. We were I think just kind of all a little bit out of sorts. But I mean, what a special opportunity to share the field with this guy. He's just an unbelievable player, unbelievable talent, unbelievable human. You know, he's been our rock all year and we tied it together and we broke it together. So it's pretty awesome. You always seem to have good intuition on the bench. I know you were pitching today. So obviously you're you're preparing, but are you watching that first at bat? Are you one of the first ones? I was a little anxious. I was a little late for the first at bat in the first doubleheader. And I figured that Gray was probably going to go after him. So I was kind of pulling up and watching it on my phone with a lot of other people. And I was still pulling for him, of course. But as the day went on, you know, I just was able to watch every at bat. I was kind of hanging out down at the bottom of the dugout in my sweats or whatever. And then I was over on this end when he hit it. And I was like probably the furthest one down and had a great view. And I was so excited for him. It's crazy, too, just watching everyone come out and greet him. Just the excitement you guys showed, too, was fun to watch. Yeah, it was just like the skipper was pumped. And like it was emotional for all of us. And there were some watery eyes out there. It's just it's hard to put into it. I don't know. It's hard to put into words. We're so focused on winning the next pitch or getting after the next game that like no one really puts a lot in the thawed and how we go about celebrating that. And so maybe a little bit was awkward, but it was still just amazing. OK, so you witnessed that historical moment. Oh, by the way, you have to go pitch. Is there added adrenaline when you're running out there? There's definitely a little weird. Higgy was I didn't have a catcher to warm me up for the first couple minutes. So I kind of played around and rolled a ball over to me, sitting here on the front. Trevi's on deck. He's sitting on the on the on the railing here, chit-chatting about what I what I presume was probably that amazing home run. And meanwhile, nobody's out there to warm me up. So I rolled a ball over to him and that was pretty funny. And that was probably just the best way to describe how everybody was like. We were very present, but also very much in state. So there's a lot of adrenaline in the first inning. And I thought that the opposition put together some good at bats. I was on the wrong side of a couple 50-50 pitches. I thought I was making good pitches. But luckily Trevi was locked in. We were able to pick two guys off. That was fantastic. Josh put the backpick on there in the in the in the in the one two count. That was just fantastic play. That's the type of baseball that, you know, we're going to have big moments and big things going forward and we have to stay sharp. So that was great. You know Yankees history as well as anyone. You know some of the arms that have been in this organization to now know that you, Garrett Cole, are the single season strikeout leader, record holder. What does that mean to you? I'm just humbled. I'm honored. I'm so thankful I can make this organization and Steinbrenner's proud. And I'm really thankful that it worked out. Kind of just like storybook like how Kyle caught the tying strikeout and Trevi caught the breaking strikeout because they both deserve a lot of credit in this record specifically along with really the rest of the team and the people behind closed doors that you don't see. Just so much effort here goes into winning baseball. And oftentimes the players are on the beneficiaries of a lot of other people's hard work. And so it's quite remarkable that Ron's record has held for so long, 44 years, with a lot of the great pitchers that have come through here. So it's very special to me. And I'm very happy to make the Yankees proud. And I'm very happy for my teammates and everybody that has contributed to this record. What will you do with that baseball? I think I'm going to give the tying one to my dad. He has watched Ron pitch. So that simpatico between 248 is, I think, that's pretty special. He's growing up. He sees 248. Then his son gets 248. 249 will probably just go to Cade. But then the second boy's on the way, so they might fight over it. But I guess it pays to be the first born. Hey, good problem to have, right? Good problem to have. I asked Aaron if he'd celebrate tonight. And he said, maybe a little bit some of the team wants to do something. So is there any specific way that you're going to celebrate tonight? Just want to hang out with Aaron, really. We got an early morning tomorrow. Hopefully the skipper pushes back to report a little later for us. But the game tomorrow still counts. So we've got to keep the reins on it just a little bit. But at the same time, you know, tonight's about Aaron and tonight's about the Yankees and breaking a couple of Yankees records, albeit also the American League record as well. And so we'll enjoy it and just come together as a team and take a moment to collect ourselves and celebrate the hard work that's been put into these records. Before I can let you go, just back to your family for one more second. I know your parents are always at the stadium. They watch all the games. Your wife, Amy, is there a ton as well. What did they say to you in breaking the record? My dad commented on some of the sequencing tonight that he thought was really good and that he thought he was very proud of me. And my mom's obviously been with me every step of the way. And so is my dad. And so is Amy. So, you know, I'm excited to get back and see them and see Kaden and just I'm thankful that I've been blessed with this ability to do these wonderful things and make my family proud like everybody else. So.
