 first game it looked like you were a little frustrated after the pop-up how did you feel after that first game and going into this game and also will you play tomorrow yeah I was frustrated because I haven't I wasn't helping the team out you know I had a couple bad at bats you know swinging at some bad pitches missing my pitch you know so I was upset that and I was the leadoff guy I got to get on base and you know I hadn't hadn't been doing that you know the Rangers you know they were coming after me and you know they were attacking me and you know I just didn't put any good swings on it so I was pretty pretty upset of myself you know I was supposed to be a table setter and tomorrow I'm hoping to play you know we got we got one more game we'll we'll see what we'll see what skip has to say about that but you know I'm hoping to be in there yeah Aaron what did you know about Jose Tanoco I know he has a nasty sinker and a nasty slider you know I wasn't you know I know we were kind of waiting to hear who the starter of game two is going to be and when I heard it was him and I saw what he did the night before I was like I don't know this isn't a good matchup to start the game off with a guy with you know high velocity like that and a good good off speed pitch you know so I think you know going into it I think that kind of helped me relax like hey this this is a good pitcher let me just go up there and let's see what happens and I was I was able to get one over the part of the plate and try to put a good swing on it and just give us the early lead Aaron when you look at the last couple of weeks when it really became a home run chase what do you think you will remember most about this experience the fans you know the fans at home the fans on the road you know the constant support you know seeing Yankee Stadium on their feet for every single I bet you know they're booing pitchers for throwing balls you know which I've never never seen before and you know I think I got a base at the other night and I was getting booed for a single you know it's just you know a little moments like that you look back on you know would have been great to do it at Yankee Stadium in front of our home fans but I know a lot of Yankee fans they travel they travel well and there's a lot of Yankee fans here tonight and you know getting a chance to share that experience with the fans and you know that's that's what it's about for me Aaron were you able to get the ball back not yet I don't know where it's at so you know we'll see what happens with that it'd be it'd be great to get it back but you know it's that's a souvenir for a fan so you know they made a great catch out there and you know they got every right to it Aaron at any point during this did you feel stress pressure you know that you had to get this done you know it it's tough to say you know because you know every game is stressful you know I kind of felt bad for my teammates because every like I said like every single I've got teammates you know stacked up they're on top of the step you know waiting for me to do this and you know I'd hit a double or I'd hit I'd walk or I'd do something you know I kind of felt like I was letting them down you know so and even the fans every all the fans of packed out Yankee Stadium the fans that came here these past two games and I felt like I let them down if I had a two for four game or you know one for two game with a couple of walks I felt like I was letting them down so you know I never I never tried to think about it as pressure you know I tried to enjoy every single moment and you know not really think about they they they're all in the feet for you to go see you hit a home run I try to think about hey they're they're here to see an exciting ball game and see something special so you know just having that mindset kind of helped me you know stay pretty calm but you know there's there's definitely a little pressure in there but you know you try not you just try to block that out so you talked about your family you talked about your teammates but a lot of players around baseball especially some of the higher-name players some of the more marquee players they're excited about this and they tweeted out and obviously I haven't seen that part yet but just seeing players around baseball talk about this and be excited for you what do you think about that it's incredible you know I think that's one of the biggest honors is any any compliment from your peers you know the guys that are out there grinding just like you are on a daily basis they know how hard this game is they know how hard it is to show up and post every single night you know so to hear or for them to tweet things I'll say things like that that's there's no higher honor you know in my book you know that's that's what it's always been about for me as my teammates and even my peers and you know the respect I have for other players around the league you know to get that you know same respect back that's you know it's it gives you chills to be honest take the last three right here Aaron as your number was growing higher and higher you kept saying numbers don't matter I'm worried about the wins was there a time maybe home or at some point you just said yourself wow this is I could do this was her moment well I think going into the every year you know every season you write down goals you have you know stuff you want to accomplish you know so every year I think I can you know go out there and hit 70 homers or you don't have the confidence and faith to go out there and try to do something special for the team but when you're in the process that's that's a fun part you don't you don't think about that you're just you're so locked in on the daily grind that you know the numbers and all that kind of stuff it's it's just it's just a wash you just for me I enjoy that the daily grind of you know working at bat and you know getting a base hit to help the team or driving an RBI that grind of you know having a tough day at the plate where you're over for and things are going your way and you know hey I guess what I gotta I gotta wake up and show up tomorrow because I got a day came here in a couple hours so that for me you know I just I just had fun you know getting locked in on that process and when you hit the the ball left your bat do you know it's gone for sure and we wondered if it was gonna be high enough I had a good feeling off the bat you know I haven't played too many games here at the new park I know the old park the ball really the ball flew out of here so I knew I had a good chance at the old park but here you never know but I had it I had a good feeling off the bat you know I just didn't know where I was gonna land or what I was gonna hit and you know there's a good sense of relief once it I saw it landing that fans glove and you know we're up one nothing and you know now now a chance to see Garrett go out there and break another record so I was had a good feeling off the bat and went out what was your when you stroll the bases what were you thinking what was going through your mind I just think of my wife thinking of my family you know my teammates you know just the fans like it knows just all that was kind of running through my head you know just the constant support I've gotten through this whole process through this whole year you know from them especially and you know it's that's that's all I really really running through my head and then I was looking forward to getting the dugout and going back on defense so watch Garrett go out there and break a record so it I had quite a few emotions kind of going there it's only been a few hours but have you been able to fully process the historical significance of this home run oh no yeah it's in my book it's just another day you know I wish you would have got the win I would have made a little sweeter for me and Garrett I think but you know that's that's what we got tonight for you know to kind of soak it in and soak in the moment soak in the moment with my family and and then get ready for the game tomorrow I think I think it really won't it won't seek in until you know the offseason after the postseason all that kind of stuff happens because that's still you know our main goal and our main focus so I think once we get past all that and go out there and do our job then we can kind of soak it all in
