All right, let me hear it. Who is Katerin Garcia? Right, I like that I like that that's very good. I have a pitcher who signed a mega free agent contract Maybe it didn't work out exactly as he had hoped but it was a really good pitcher in my camp. Oh, he was really good So I faced him a ton when he was with the Astros like that Quite a sinker. Yeah, and a great athlete on the mound. Good hitter could run. You remember how you did Just mediocre, you know what I started doing when he'd get you 2-0 I decided you got to take because he just throws a sinker down the bottom zone and ends up a ball He'd get people And that's a hard thing to do as a hitter right because they're loading up you're thinking this is the hitter's count Yeah, I can do some damage here. I got uh Danny Graves So my first two guys Kareem Garcia my teammate with the Yankees Danny Graves my long teammate long time teammate with the Reds.

He was such a man He would he's I used to love how he'd walk it go like that Throw his bat away and take off his Chin pad and throw it away and kind of run to first base. I love boys. It's a little he's good You know, I knew I know we know these about these two guys too, but you know what stands out for me No, no batting glove either one. No either one of them more than flatty. I used to tease flatty I'd walk up to him at the cage Because he was just had this Bill that was just this athlete, right I walked out. I said flatty when you go to when you go to the store You have to pay for something you you reach into your back pocket like this, don't you? It was long legs high butt just boom he was what did he say he'd laugh. Yeah, he's a great guy so We had a game in 1999 So with the reds, we had a great team. We won 96 games that year And flatty was in the middle of a hitting game hitting streak and I think for his 30th game Scott Williamson are one of our great relievers who was the rookie of the year came in and faced flatty Might have been extra innings might have been ninth inning and in Montreal And his hitting streak was on the line and he hit one into the darkness out in left center and It was an olympics stadium And I mean heads up in main land here at some point to extend his hitting streak and walk us off I got the shooter rod back.
