1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's around the park with the crookd Kype. And 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: today we're going to talk about well, we're going to 3 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: talk about Opening Day and just how really special it 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: is to everybody that's a player, a coach, a manager, 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: a fan, everybody. We'll talk about that when we come back. Everybody, 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: it's around the park with the crooking Kype and Smoothie. 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Happy Opening Day. 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: Yes, another off season bites the dust. And I guess 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: your dad and my dad they were right. It goes 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: awful fast the older you get, yeah, and things are 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 2: moving fast. I gotta tell you, not my body or 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: your body, but time. 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, time is definitely moving fast. And I quite honestly, 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: it couldn't go fast enough just because of today. You 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: get there in the middle of the winter and you know, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: you start thinking about the game. The game has become 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: more important to us at this point in our life 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: than it has ever been. And that's saying something considering 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: we've got to play it and we've been around it 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: for well over fifty years. But it's just it's just 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: the whole spectacle that's Opening Day, the whole anticipation of it, 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: because it's not just the players, it's every baseball fan. 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: We're all in the same boat. As we go into 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: game one of the Major League Baseball season. 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: Well, there's no other game like this one during the 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: regular season. The only thing that comes close to Opening 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: Day is the first game. In postseason, everything is different 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: and that's why you have to be really careful that 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: the next game is in a little bit of a letdown. 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: I mean, look, it was easy in Cleveland, where the 31 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: first game we would have seventy five thousand, in the 32 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: next game we would have five. But it's really not 33 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: the case here because every game in this series is 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: going to be a sellout. But still Opening Day is 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: a lot different. And for guys like Harrison Vader and 36 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: Luis or Eyes, they're going to find out how special 37 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: it really is in Northern California. 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: It is. It absolutely is, And it's the one day 39 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: when everybody is in the same boat. It's the most 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: optimistic day of the year. Everybody who has a number 41 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: on their back is thinking that this year they're going 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: to make the All Star team, even the pereny All Stars. 43 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean they you know, they're thinking the same thought. 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Every player is in the same boat because if you 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: didn't think that as a big league baseball player, you 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: really don't belong here. You always think that this is 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: going to be the year. And because of that, it 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: takes you back to when you were a kid, when 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: your first leagues that you were in the amateur and 50 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: we're talking about the lowest but five year old kids 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: playing baseball t ball, you had an opening day, and 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: here it is again, it's opening day. I mean, you've 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: got some of these guys who been in this game 54 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: now standing on that line, players that are well over 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: ten years a big league experience, and they feel like 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: that kid at the t ball game standing on the 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: line getting introduced to start their baseball season. Nothing more 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: special than that. 59 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like the first year that you were 60 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: in little league and the first year I was in 61 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: little league and they gave you a uniform, and what 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: did you do until the first game. That's the first thing. 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: You put on in the morning you wore. I wore 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: my rubber spikes to school? Are you kidding me? 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I'm looking at you now. 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: You still got them off right out loud. You never 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: know what a game might break out, you know, I. 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: Agree, I mean and that's the way you live your life. 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: You know, be ready for the game that does break out. 70 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: And I mean you think the game is big for 71 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: all of us, right, Yeah, it's big for the region, 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: and it's big for the new guys. This one's going 73 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: to be really big for our new manager. Oh, he's 74 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: gonna have to calm things down. 75 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: He may lead the league in big and I'm talking 76 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: about across the country. 77 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: He may get kicked out in the first inning. 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be something? 79 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Anyway, good luck to him and to this roster that 80 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: Buster and his folks have put together, because I think 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 2: we're all looking to have a good time this year. 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: We sure are.
