 Well, it brings back great memories. I mean, my whole baseball career really is centered around what happened here with the Yankees. I know I played for 16, 17 years. And there was some special times individually, personally, I mean. But when you do something as a team and have them play as a team for the period of time that they did was amazing. And when you see them, these memories come back. It's just like rejoining a family again. Neftely in the center. What does America, 1998, think so special? And what does it make a difference in all the other years around? Anybody want to jump on it? Well, the 98 team. It's funny, during my career, on my birthday, July 18th, we never won. And I never hit or anything like that. It was always bad luck. I remember saying to somebody, I said, we even won on my birthday. This must be a special year. And somebody said, and he said back to me, you won on everybody's birthday. And that was pretty true. I mean, the 98 team was just, they were relentless. Whether it was the hangover from 97, that they really had a bad taste in their mouths. I know it was talked about a lot. I know Susan talked about the plane ride back to New York from Cleveland and Mariano and Mel. And I talked on the tarmacs when we got back, because he had given up the home run and all that stuff. But that was really a low point. But the 98 team was, they were just relentless. We had a big lead, but it had nothing to do with our preparation and our going out there and playing the game as hard as we could. I don't think you can go through life by yourself. Much less try to go out there and win a ball game by yourself. But these guys really pulled together and pulled for each other, which I found just terrific to watch and be a part of. Did you have a question right here in the front, Brian? Old Timer's Day, the game was always such a big part of it. Any part of you guys wish you could get out there and play today? Nope. You want to think about that? I can't. No, I got a bad shoulder. I can't even like throw the ball to you. There's no way I could squat down again. I'm kidding, but I could. But yeah, I don't think I could hit the ball. I mean, I don't want to embarrass myself out there. And go ahead. Joe, at what point was there a moment, the game, where you said to yourself, I'm watching something I've never seen before? Eddie, you never let yourself do that, because it comes and bites you in the rear end. You just can't stop to admire until it's all said and done. You look back on it. We won 114 games. And I want to tell you something. In a division series against Texas, these guys were tight in it can be. And it was only because, all right, now what do you do? You won 114 games. Now let me see if you're that good. And it's just a lot of pressure. But these guys played well under pressure. And whether it be a one-run game or a blowout or whatever or they got behind in the game, it was just amazing. And then fast forward, just a couple of years, when Seattle wins 116, made it look easy. But they got as far as the championship series, and then that was it. So we just felt there was pressure to finish the job, basically. And we certainly were able to do that. And after game one, when we fell behind in game one, and they seemed like to have their way with us, hitting home runs and stuff. And after that, it was all us and Scott Brochis, for sure. Gary and Pete right here in the front. Derek, I'm not sure how much you've been able to pay attention this year. But just what have you thought of Anthony Volpe's for key season? I haven't sat down and watched a lot of full games. But I've seen a lot of highlights. I mentioned this earlier. I think the thing that probably stands out the most, just from talking with different coaches, is the fact that whether he's had an up and down game or week or month, offensively doesn't take it to the defensive side. And I think that says a lot about his maturity. But he's going to get better. It all comes with experience. But yeah, I think he's handled himself. It's tough to play here in New York as a young player when the expectation levels are high. But from everything I can tell, the way he handles himself is what stands out the most. Anthony and a few other young Yankees are on the roster right now. Just what is your advice to them for how to handle this spotlight and playing in this market? Have fun. I mean, what I've told young players even during my crew and they come up with the same game, there's just more people in the stands. And I think sometimes you get up to this level, you try to do things a little bit differently. But you have to be yourself. Don't try to do something that you're not accustomed to. But you have to enjoy yourself. Try to improve each and every day. Bottom line here is you've got to win. So that's the thing you should be focused on. Pete, right here, right next to you. I'll ask you first, Derek, since it's your first old-timers day, but we'd love to hear from any or all. Just what are some of your favorite memories from old-timers days when you guys were in the dugout? And I guess just were there any players that were really special to meet in your playing career? You know, the thing that stands out about old-timers day, because we all would be in the dugout and you get a chance to pick players' brains. You know, like I said out there, the great thing about this organization, they really treasure their history and they bring the players back. And you know, we've just always appreciated building relationships with the ex-players. I don't know if there's one particular player I've looked forward to see, because we were spoiled. I mean, we'd come in the clubhouse, Yogi'd be there, Whitey'd be there, Gator'd be there, Reggie would be. Everyone's there, you know. So we build those relationships with the former players as well. Anybody else? Yeah, it's like he said, you know, having a Yogi around and having, you know, most of the guys that come around and having a conversation with, you know, how do you do when you were struggling, stuff like that? You just, it means a lot that, you know, you can share or having a conversation with a great. And the Yankees did it, you know, all the time in spring training and did it, you know. Also, Yogi was always around here all the time, so it was good to have. Brendan, right here to the left. Two questions. Joe, first, what do you think of some of the heat that Aaron Boone has heard from the fans this year? Obviously, the season hasn't gone the way the Yankees would have liked. Well, I mean, first of all, when you agree to do this job, and I think Derek, you know, referred to it about the expectations here. They're sky-high and no getting around it. You know, you're gonna have to deal with it and understand that there's always that cloud that's gonna hang over when things go badly. And, you know, just from what I get, you know, chatting with Booney and seeing him from time to time, you know, he's handling it really well. I mean, he's out there, he's working hard and that's all you can really do, you know. You know, they've had some, you know, bad breaks, but that's not an excuse when you're a member of the Yankees. You gotta, you're expected to win and, you know, he, as I say, when he signed up for it, he knew what he was getting into. And also, Jorge, understanding it didn't happen this way in 98 because you were on the road when you won the World Series, but as a catcher, what's it like catching that or being on the field for that final out of a World Series, seeing the whole field in front of you, having that perspective? Well, it happened in 98, in 99. We were here, obviously, and Mo was in the mountain. But yeah, it's just, you're trying to count down, you know, how many outs you got left and where he was coming up and stuff like that. And, but you just, you know, you look around and you try to focus and stuff, but when you get that final out, and I mean, it's just completely joy, you know. It's just a lot of fun to, you know, to be on the field and celebrating, especially when you do it here at home. John, in the middle, on the right. For all you guys, there's so many different memories you guys can go back to when you're alone in your head, whatever, but how often is it 98 that you go back to in some way or another? Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm not a huge reminiscer, you know, I guess, but just, I mean, it was a special time, you know. Obviously, the team that we had put together, the season that we had, when you think back, which you don't really do it a whole lot, you know, when you're in it, and now that it's been so far, you know, away until you see a highlight or something like that, you really, I don't really, I don't know about the other fellas, but you really don't think back on it a whole lot, but a day like this makes you think back on it and makes you realize, you know, what a special team it was. And, you know, I've said this before, you know, the team was, I think after losing in 97, I know personally for me, you know, we were so hungry to do it again because we had a taste of it in 96. And so once you get that taste of it, you know, you want that. And so I think that really drove us. And of course, we couldn't have had a better guy leading us than this guy right here to my left and just never panicked, no matter what. And was as loyal as to you as, you know, to the end of the earth. And then to have the group of position players that we had, I was a starting pitcher. I went out every once every fifth day, you know, but to have the guys that we had young, obviously we were at that time with the veteran guys that we had, the grind that they showed every single day to take the field and to play the way they did was just awesome to watch that year. Yeah. And, you know, the thing comes to me when Brochus came to our ball club, he just elevated the mood. You know, he was lighthearted. He made, you know, crack jokes, make fun of himself. And he hit, he had so many key home runs, you know, that of course the one against Hoffman was amazing. When you go in their ballpark and you're losing a ball game and Hoffman who's in the Hall of Fame and you knew he would be at the time, you know, all of a sudden they hit the ball with a center field fence and then you just shake your head. But, you know, for not getting a lot of attention or notoriety, he really made a big, big difference in our ball club. We're gonna take a few more all the way to the left front row. Gentlemen, first and foremost, congratulations for everything you've done in your baseball careers. But if you had to look at it, then just turn the clock back and say to yourself, if there's one moment that you could change in your baseball career and secondly, if there was something that you didn't achieve in your career, what would that have been? I'm gonna answer that question, I wanna start with that. If I would, I wouldn't change anything on my career. You know, because all the victories and all the defeats make us, it made me enjoy the game even better, appreciate the game even better. And knowing, you know, sometimes you take it for granted, you think that you, I mean, the expectation, especially here in New York, is so high and you wanted to win, yes, every time. But it take a special group of people to accomplish that. And while we accomplished all those years, it was amazing. I was sharing with Derek that we just have a family group. It wasn't just a team, we were a family. And I will never change nothing, not even 97 or 2001 because it made me better. You know, we're talking about 97, I wish we start playing the next day, 98 season, because I mean, it was the heart, you know, but we take our beating and we came ready in 98. But again, I will never change anything. We're gonna left Larry. For Derek, just what is your perspective of what's it like for you being at this event for the first time in this capacity and getting introduced at the same point where in the past like Yankee grades like the Magia would get introduced? Well, I'm working on rebranding the name Old Timers Day to something else. I'm still the youngest one, I'm still the youngest one here. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's, look, when you're playing, like I said, you're on the bench and you're watching the game and you can never see yourself being introduced at Old Timers because you don't, everything you're gonna get old which we are not old, right? We're not old. A little bit older. Older. Older. But man, it's a special feeling. I said it, like I said, out there, the fans. What makes this organization great is the respect that they have for the history. And, you know, this is one of, I think now, used to be the only team that had Old Timers Day, but the reason they have it is because of the fans appreciation of the history. And when you've had as much success as we were able to have as a group, the fans never forget it. Regardless of where you are, I run into New Yorkers every day and they'll say thank you for the championships that we won. So it is a special feeling to be here at Yankee Stadium, introduced at the game, formerly known as Old Timers Day. But now it's something, I wish my family, my kids are in school, so I couldn't get up here, but I'm sure they're gonna look forward to getting out here one day to experience it with me as well. We're gonna take two more and I apologize we're not gonna get to all the hands. Brianna. Being here today and all together, does it like hate you that it's been 25 years or does being here in this environment make it feel like it can be like just a few years ago? We don't get together as a group that often. But when we do, it feels like we've been, we never left each other, you know what I mean? Because it's, we played together for, man, since I was 18 years old, we played together, all of us played together. And so even though we don't see each other, it still feels like we've been together all this time. Anybody else wanna? That makes sense. Yeah, when you've had success, there'll always be that connection. And when you run into each other, whether it's here or at a different venue, there's always something that will always be special because of the accomplishment that you both experienced. And the heartache too, right? The success and the heartache that we all walk through together, you know? We never had a group that pointed fingers. We always wore it and owned it. And whether it was a positive or a negative, it was something we did together. And that's very proud for me. Max, last one. Derek, I know you said you haven't watched many games this year, but what would your message be to this team as they finish up of a disappointing campaign with the expectations they have, what do they need to do to take it back on track? Win, I mean, it's that simple. They're not eliminated, you know? So you go out, you win one game, one game at a time. So I think the message I would give, probably the same message that they're saying to each other in there, I mean, you have to take it one day at a time. We're here for, you know, old-timers game, old-timers day in the 98 team. What made the 98 team great was every single day we wanted to beat you. Didn't make a difference. I don't even know how many games we won that division by that year. I have no idea, but we didn't care. It was like we were competing against ourselves. So it's literally, it's that simple. You win a game. Okay, appreciate everyone's time. Enjoy the day. Thanks everyone.
