 Yes, we are here. We're still here. We're gonna be with you throughout this here on yes And you know sometimes we get some pretty special guests in this case We do our man Adam out of vino is back. I guess Adam You're just gonna be a come apart of the yes family during this quarantine time, huh? I'm trying I'm trying We'll see we'll see what happens, but uh No, I mean this this zoom life is real. So just trying to take it take advantage. Yeah We we all are now we are all firm believers in zoom Everybody who's who's any like has any broadcast association now has gotten intimately familiar with zoom. You know Adam like you and I We both grew up in New York different areas of New York But ended up facing each other in high school as has been famously documented now where I I So proudly popped out to shallow field against you celebrated pop out of all time It really is man well because I mean I've told the story before but it was my junior year your senior year I believe okay, you graduated o3. Yeah, yeah, and I graduated o4 from high school and Like you know in those days you just get like whispers of like, you know Yeah, y'all this guy supposed to be nasty or whatever and like oh, yeah this dude throws 90 and I was what you know Like 90 might as well be a hundred when you're in high school, you know And then I remember I saw the the when I saw your slider It was like the first time I saw like a hard Nasty breaking pitch where it's just like wait, that's way harder than the fastballs I usually see and so yeah popping out against you after looking at that slider whiz by me for strike one I felt pretty good about man. I love it at that time You don't you don't think that anybody's noticing so it's kind of funny to know that maybe you're the guy that people are Whispering about I mean I've been on the other side of that of course, so it's kind of funny You know, did you play against Pedro Alvarez during that time? Yeah, yeah played with them I've played with them on the team called the New York Giants I was like kind of a ringer me and this kid Rob Yotis would go up uptown and play for this for the Giants and Pedro played on that team. I remember him as kind of like a like a like a chubby second baseman But he hit like huge home runs I remember we played in the tournament in Connecticut once and he hit like three home runs and the fourth time he got up to bat They wouldn't pitch to him They were throwing him balls and so he yelled to the guy in Spanish like hey, Venneca like throw it right here And so he did and he hit a fourth home run And it was like incredible so but then I played against them and he homered off me I remember one time at Bergen Beach in Brooklyn, but um, yeah, I've known him for a long time There's a certain pride. I feel like that tethers Different Northeast baseball players together, right? Because when you think about players who make it in the majors a lot of times We think about you know kids who grew up being able to play all year round outside You know and I know there are various facilities now that have evolved for playing year-round indoors, you know in the Northeast But it's much different and you're obviously at an advantage if you're in a warm weather Climate where you can play, you know outside all year round But there's that element and then there's another element of it, which is not only do you play? You know your high school ball in the Northeast, but you also play your college ball there One of my good friends Joe Panic is part of that group and I know he takes great pride in it I mean Adam, how real is that club? You're one of those guys who grew up Northeast played college ball Northeast like I mean is there a sort of a connection amongst you guys who have been able to do that I think so. I mean from for us growing up I remember even what we would go to tournaments like We would scare the other teams because we had a lot of Latin players and we were real loud and you know the way New Yorkers can be and You know, I mean, let's call it what it was. We would just think that those kids were soft I mean they didn't have to grow up with the crappy fields and the cold weather and they had we felt like they had it all on a plate for them like Scouts and all that and we were like grinding. So yeah, that's kind of how it was I mean we took pride in that not only when I was in high school, but when I was in college So we love when the southern teams will come up to us and then you know We would give them a licking and kind of send them back to their warm weather What was the like what was the sort of the toughest field you played on? In the city and high school you think so the the parade grounds Which is like a pretty like a legendary field in Brooklyn I mean, it's just at the time. It's been renovated since but at the time it was just like one of those, you know No grass in the infield There there might be a soccer game going on in the outfield You might have to kick some people off the field with your permit to get on the field to begin with A lot of kids are wearing mouthpieces because there's rocks everywhere And you might catch a ball up in your face Did you ever I don't know if you ever had this experience But did you ever like have a field that was so hard that you were like afraid to even slide on it? Like you knew your knee was getting busted up like yes I didn't even want to slide on some of the field. I can remember a game where it was one of my friends. Oh I forget if it was it I had three other seniors on the team with with me my senior year And I forget if it was my boy Greg Dreyfus who now works for the MLB PA actually or Andrew Nackman or John Cronor It was one of those three guys had a hit sometime early in the game like slid into second base and just thought like the pant leg Was gone from the knee down like just totally torched. They're bleeding down the leg just ridiculous absolutely ridiculous Like I remember that so Adam you and I were both obviously we're New York We're New York guys New York baseball people. Let me ask you you want to play a little game of Yankees Mets or both? I'm gonna throw out a name you tell me whether they play for the Yankees the Mets or both. All right, all right Tony Clark. I know we played for the Yankees I'm just gonna say Yankees Both he played for both really. Yeah, I actually forgotten that he spent time with the Mets. That was tough one This one's a tough one too. By the way, I should preface this. These are all pretty difficult. All right, all right Tony Torasco Mets He played for both both. Yes Yes, I don't remember him on the Yankees. I know man. I know he played for both that you think when we think about Tony Torasco We think about Jeter's home run. Yeah, he was out there in right field. Yeah, exactly. Were you at that game? I was not at that game I would definitely watch that game, but I was not at that game. Yeah. Um, all right. Let's see Mike Lowell Michael Loll Red Sock Marlin, man, I Guess Yankees. Yeah Yankees. Yeah, yeah brief brief time with the Yankees. This is interesting one Jeff Carstens I know we played for the Yankees Not sure if he played for both. So I'm just gonna say Yankees. You're right Yankees. All right You're handling this well, man All right, Trot Nixon Man Yeah, right you associate more with another team. All right, I have no idea if I'm gonna get some bets on this one. Boom nailed it Nailed it All right, this is a tough one Gerald Williams All right, obviously Yankee so since it's tough, I think it's both I Way to use the context clues. He was so fast. I used to love Gerald Williams. Oh Man, I love you know what my my sister was obsessed with him because of the pink bat Never yeah pink bat. He was like the first guy, right? Yeah, I just remember him charging Pedro Oh Yeah, dude, he also like I mean he's Jeter's like he's Jeter's Tom Hagan You know, I mean I really I mean he or he's one of his best friends I always feel like there should be like a documentary series on the friends of Jeter, you know Because I feel like he keeps a circle close. He has his people who he trusts, you know He's not just letting anybody in Gerald Williams has been a longtime mainstay of the Jeter clan Wow, so he's keeping it tight. He's not telling anybody outside of the family what he's thinking at any time That's right. He's not pulling a sunny All right, how about this one Mike Glavin? Yeah, Matt. Yep. Nicely done very nicely. He's actually the head coach at my college now. Oh, really northeastern Yeah, Tom Clavin's brother Mike Clavin head coach. Oh, so I met so I know him a little bit So that one I had a little advantage. Yeah, that one you should get correct by the way one other thing on the on the Jeter front How about did you see he's his house is being rented by Tom Brady? I Did not see that but that's epic. That's pretty make sense. I guess Like how awesome is that like yeah, like if you were thinking of sort of like the parallel sports lives You see Jeter Brady, right like those two guys now. They're basically she's gonna share a home Guys in Tampa Bay. That's just weird. It was it was an interesting choice. Wasn't it? Yes, definitely All right. Here's I'll I'm gonna give you one more than two bonus All right, all right Brooke Fordeis Met yeah nailed it dude. You're crushing this All right, two more bonus questions. Yeah, I these two men Managed both the Yankees and the Mets. However, we want to just dial them up as players So Joe Torrey as a player I think Matt nailed it Nailed it and Yogi as a player. Well Yankees And Matt. Yes. Yes. Yes. Wow like a nor girl season or something. Yes, and then I know he managed the Mets Oh, yeah, you already said that so that yes, yep He he he managed him played and for the Yankees obviously he he managed and played so but I got to say Adam that was a Pretty impressive man. I got a long history of baseball card, you know pack opening and that sort of thing So me and my friend Jared, I'm sure he'll be proud of me on this one Maybe a little disappointed about the first two that I didn't get them both, but we'll see isn't Jared the die-hard Star Wars fan, too Yes. Yes. All right. Well, I don't I don't want to get ahead of myself But assuming you don't end our yes network zoom relationship I think the next one of these we may do a Star Wars trivia game pitting me against you or you against me I Think I think you have the advantage. I better start studying up better get Jared on the phone man Man, Jared Jared stuff to beat. He's tough to beat. He's on the next level Well, Adam, thank you for doing this man. Stay safe. Stay well and and we'll do it again sometime soon Hopefully with some Star Wars trivia. All right sounds good. Same to you stay safe
