 Mike Pagliarullo spent his first five-and-a-half major league seasons in pinstripes, serving as the Yankees' third baseman in the mid- and late-1980s. He signed with the Twins as a free agent in 1991. And that year, he won the World Series. Now, fresh off his induction into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame, we welcome him in now. And, Mike, first question. Please describe what being a forever member, rather now, of the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame means for you. Well, I'll tell you, I was extremely honored. I was flattered and grateful. I mean, there were so many people that I was part of in my career. And then being inducted with Tino Martinez and Lupinella was just a super thrill for me. It was, you know, something that I'll never forget. It was, you know, and I had the whole family was there, so it was great. It was just a special, special day. And, you know, it's a great, it's a great organization. And, you know, I heard a couple of years ago it was, you know, Ron Givry was there and had traveled out to see Gator and also Billy Martin, Mickey Mantle. So it's a great thrill and certainly something I'll never forget. And like I said, I was just honored and flattered and I was so excited. It was a great night. Certainly well deserved. Your speech was tremendous. You were drafted by the Yankees in the sixth round 1981, called up in 84. Of course, your debut must have been special. What other memories stand out for you while you were in a Yankees uniform? Tell us about a couple of them. Well, there's really so many. I mean, that's where I was born into baseball and, you know, you know, being from Boston, you know, you're really not too fond of the Yankees. But honestly, the Yankees had so many professionals in the organization. We had the greatest owner in baseball. And every year the team was trying to win. And so it was rebuilding at the time, but it was a great situation for me to be in. Although following Nettles wasn't the easiest thing in the world. You know, he was awesome. He was a great man and was great to me. He could have made a lot more difficult. But being in pinstripes, there was so many times it was tremendous. I guess one situation that comes to mind is when we were fighting for first place, and it was late in September, and we were playing Toronto. And my gosh, Gator was starting his one game. And I think we were just one or two games behind. Gator was starting his one game. And, you know, the first hitter got up and he struck them out. Struck out the next two guys. And the stadium was packed. First time I had been in the packed Yankee Stadium. And then the next inning, he goes out there and strikes out the next three. Well, I'll tell you, I was running off the field. I felt like I was carried off the field. It was just a dead-out sprint right until the dugout. It was so exciting. I got goosebumps running on and off the field. It was, you know, things like that that just popped in your head now and then. And one of the greatest things about playing for the Yankees is just a thrill. And, you know, I tried to play as best I can. And I was very proud to play for New York. And I know when I saw you on Sunday, you were in the midst of celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the 1991 Twins World Series championship. That must have been fun. Yeah, that was great. It was a special group of guys that, you know, it was interesting. 1991, you know, we came in last place the year before, and I didn't realize that. And also Atlanta had come in last place the year before. It was a great thing for baseball. But not only that, you know, that team, I think we proved everyone that you don't have to have the most talent to win. Best teams win. And we definitely had the best team. It was a group of guys that get together very unselfish play and had a lot of fun, but played the game every day. You know, ran all the balls out and played everything. And we, of course, we had great coaches too and a super manager. That manager, I kind of likened to Billy and Lou, you know, three of the greatest managers ever. And I was fortunate to play for him and learned a lot from him. And our staff helped with the whole team. Everyone pitched in all the time. It was a very, very fun year. But once a Yankee forever, a Yankee, correct? Absolutely. Thank you. You know, I go around it, no matter where my World Series ring, but I'm the Yankee guy, no matter where I go. Fantastic. That's what she said. Mike, thank you so much. Always great to see you and congratulations. All the best. Thanks very much. Thanks, Nancy.
