 Ken Singleton, so great to see you. We expected to see you on opening day in Baltimore, but under very different circumstances. You're home, I'm home. We all miss baseball, including the Aggie players, and some of them have chimed in on social media, and I'm gonna read you something that Aaron Judge posted this morning on his Twitter account. Says Aaron Judge, missing baseball and that opening day excitement. We will be back before we know it. Stay home and stay safe. Kenny, in light that this would have been opening day, I wanna get your most awesome opening day memories. Do you have one? Well, yeah, I have a couple, and I think they're both very interesting. The opening day, 1981, I was with the Baltimore Orioles, of course, we were playing at home against the Kansas City Royals. Every player wants to get off to a great start, particularly an opening day and just go from there. My first swing of the season was a home run. You have, we won that game, and actually for the month of April, I hit 472. Now the last day of April, if I had gotten two hits, I would hit 500 for the month. I ended up hitting a home run, but I went one from four. And the writers after the game said, if you needed one more hit, you would have hit 500 for the month. I said, how come you guys are telling me this now after the game? Yeah, I was gonna ask, did you know that going in? No, I didn't, but I was so hot at the time. I could have got another hit if I wanted to, but it didn't happen. I went one from four, maybe I got too excited with the home run. And there was one other opening day. It was at home again in Baltimore and we were playing the Chicago White Sox. Now, you know, the weather isn't always great on opening day, but this particular year in Baltimore, it was like 74 degrees, it was a beautiful day. And fans showed up in short sleeves in summer clothes. And by the seventh inning of the game, it was snowing. A front came through. I could see it off in the distance, these dark clouds and the temperature just dropped unbelievably. And snow flurry started coming out of the sky. People got caught with short sleeves. A lot of people went home. Fortunately, we won that game too. So just two different sort of things on opening day, but those are my, those are some good memories from years gone by. Definitely a win-win there. Good job, Kimmy. And you know, looking at the current day situation and really for every season, how important is it to get off to a fine start? Win on opening day? Well, most teams would like to do so. I wouldn't say it's paramount because teams have rallied and come on. You saw the Nationals last year. They were just terrible. I think they were 19 and 31, almost fired their manager, David Martinez, and they ended up winning the World Series. So I think that you'd like to get off to a good start. Everybody feels good. Your home fans feel good when the team is out there, either first or second place and not far out of first if you're in second. And things are going well. You'd like to see your top pitchers rolling. Your good hitters get going, but that doesn't always happen that way. So it's a, fortunately, it's a long, long season and teams have plenty of time to rectify a semi-poor start. Your second career, just as fantastic as your first, of course, in the booth as a broadcaster. So it's only natural I'm going to ask, do you have a favorite opening day as a broadcaster? I think I'll go all the way back to the beginning. My first year broadcasting a ball game on opening day, I was working with Tommy Hut and I was doing expose games at the time, TSN. You're well aware of TSN. And we were in the field in Chicago and my first ever interview was Harry Carrick, the legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster. It was a pregame interview. I was only supposed to be on for five minutes, but Harry kept going and going and going and producers said in my ear, just keep it going. We'll chop it up later. This is fantastic stuff. And Harry was just wonderful. He went on about opening day, how magnificent it was. Even though it's a little chilly here in Chicago, the ballpark's going to be packed. Baseball goes on from year to year to year. You know, players come and go, but baseball's here. He said one thing he did say, I was with the St. Louis Cardinals for 24 years. I thought they'd give me a gold watch. They gave me a pink slip instead. But Harry, of course, he went from St. Louis to Chicago where it just fortified his legend as a Hall of Fame broadcaster. And what's your runner up opening day as a broadcaster? Ooh, let's see. Anyone at Yankee Stadium, the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium is electric, as you know. Having been there, usually, yes, is all over opening day at Yankee Stadium as we would have been this year. It might be a little late, but eventually, hopefully it shows up. I just think this will be my 24th year with the Yankees. We've had a winning record every year, every year. And 19 years of the yes has been around. It's been phenomenal. I can't explain how good I feel about being able to go back to my roots, I grew up in New York, even though I played for the match briefly, but that was just a blip. But being mostly an Oriole and a division rival with the Yankees now getting a chance to return home where it all started to me. I know we're going through tough times in New York right now. And it means a lot to me. That's the city, if it wasn't for New York, let me put it this way. If it wasn't for New York and the New York area, I wouldn't be who I am or where I am right now today. It's just how much it means to me. Will you always consider yourself a New Yorker? Yeah, I will, even though I live in Maryland, my wife and kids have all grown up in Maryland. I've lived in Maryland for about 40 years, but I tell people when I go up to New York, I don't get lost, I know where I'm going. I just, it's like deja vu and it takes me back to earlier times in my life and back to my youth. And now I spend a lot more time in Florida because it's warmer. Yeah. Get to play a lot more golf and that sort of thing. But the different stages of your life mean a lot to you and that New Yorker will always be very, very special. Well, the story of Yes Network can't be told without you. We're very grateful and you've got the best stories. I want to ask you one more time to share another. Some of the guys wanted to be about Earl Weaver. What do you think? There's stories I can tell about him. There's stories I can't tell about him, but Earl was a stickler. He was the best manager I ever played for. I know he was rough around the edges back in the days when there weren't as many cameras or microphones around and he could be very profane. And, but he would get us across all the time, whether it was tearing down one of his own players in front of the whole TV, he didn't hesitate. If you make mistakes, he was going to be all over your case, you know, and I'm going to bring up one where I dropped the fly ball in Chicago and easy fly ball that I came back to the dugout. The White Sox didn't even score. So I felt really good about it because they wouldn't score some under and runs because of my, you know, miss Q and E out for you. So I come back to the dugout, you know, nothing happened. I felt pretty good. I got by. Here comes Earl walking down to the dugout and he looks at me and I'm sitting down and, you know, he wasn't very tall. So we were almost eye to eye. He looks at me and he says, what's going on out there? What the heck are you doing? He didn't say it that way. And I said, Earl, I have no excuse. I just dropped the ball and it just, it just happened. And I said, they didn't even score. He said, that's not the point. You don't want to look bad in front of 30,000 people. I said, you think I want to look bad in front of 30,000 people? And then he started to get on me a little bit more. I said, Earl, look, I got to hit the center. You know, why don't you just leave me the, what alone? And he thought about it and he said, oh yeah. He thought, I can see him thinking, hitting is important for this guy. You go ahead, go up and hit, and he never mentioned it again. And that's just the type of guy he was. If he would yell at you, but if he thought you could help him win a game, you were in the lineup. He held no grudges. He just wanted to make his point at that time. And, you know, there are other managers that I played for. I think they did hold grudges against players. But Earl wasn't like that. He knew that winning was paramount. He, the umpires hated him and he hated them. It was just, it was just one of those things. You see, if you go to YouTube, you can see some legendary arguments he's had with umpires. But this was like a once a week thing. You know, this, he got thrown out of 91 games. That's an American League record. And he says it should have been even more because he got thrown out of games before they started. So they didn't, they didn't count on his ledger of being thrown out of a game. So he was, he was very unique. Managers aren't like that now. You just couldn't be. They are more of the Aaron Boone type, you know, that, you know, very good in front of the camera. Of course, Aaron was a broadcaster and they know how to relate to people. Earl didn't always, he related to people, but not in the way they wanted. Thank you so much, Kenny. I look forward to our next visit. I'm so happy to have seen you. So proud to call you teammate. Take care of yourself and your family until next time. And until we have baseball, see you soon. Be safe, Nancy. Be safe.
