 with the familiar face in Mike Ford, Mike, what's it like coming back to Yankee Stadium for you? Oh man, this is my first time back and it brings up a lot of really good memories. You know, some, probably in a darker place when I left here, so, some good ones, some bad ones, but I mean, it's just electric here when you land and you know, the fan base is always gonna come out and so forth and you know, it's different than playing a lot of places. Starting at about two o'clock today, I saw you out here, it was almost like there was a receiving line catching up with guys that you used to play with, used to be teammates with. Was there anyone in particular you were really looking forward to catching up with? I mean, everyone that's still here from the clubhouse, it was a great group. You know, guys that live down in Tampa, I'm probably closest with just cause, you know, I see them in the off season and different things, but it's just great to see everyone, you know, from, you know, from an office to trainers to players. It's been, it's always nice to see familiar faces. Let's talk about some of the good times here. You experienced a lot of firsts with the Yankees. First time getting called up to the big leagues, home run, et cetera, et cetera. What do you remember about those moments? Man, a dream come true for me. I grew up a Yankees fan. I came here in the old stadium growing up with my dad and you know, the first hit here was really special to debut here. You know, and just kind of have family around and I'm noticing the older I get, the more important that is. And just to have support and everything is really, it was really, really awesome coming up. Yeah, I still don't remember the walk off cause it's just kind of a blur, but you know, I checked off a lot of firsts here and you know, I can't thank the fans and the organization enough for allowing me to do that. You mentioned being able to have family and friends here. You're gonna have people in the stands tonight? How many? Yeah, tonight's a light one. I think it's just five. So it's an easy one tonight, but I'm sure there'll be a bunch throughout the weekend. Okay, left-handed bat, Yankee Stadium. Yeah, it's still one of my favorite places to hit. So we'll see what we can do this week. Certainly not gonna make it easier and you Garrett Cole tonight, what do you think of that assignment? Just how tough is it to get to Garrett Cole? Yeah, I mean, you know, he's a premier arm in the game, but it's always fun to go out and face those guys and you know, just kind of lay it out there and see what happens. You know, I know he's gonna bring his A game every time, so that's what he does. And you know, hopefully I get one off. Mike, great to see you best of luck tonight. Thanks, thanks for having me.
