Remember, I 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.040 gotta set the scene because I've never you and Freddie 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.120 say coming up together, and you guys came to spring 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.280 training and obviously big, huge humans coming in all this 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.479 hype about what they're supposed to be and I'm getting 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:13.400 chills thinking about it. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.640 And Opening Day you take Zaan Brono. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.880 Way back into the bullpen, and like I thought in 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.680 my career as one of the coolest moments I had 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.360 ever seen from a rookie with all the hype you 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.800 got and how you've handled it, kind of played out 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.920 your whole career who you are and how pro you are. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.120 But you just handle. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.759 Everything so easily and the expectation around you, and then 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.959 you go deep deep Opening Day, Bro, you carried that 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.200 well with class as you did your whole career. Man, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.639 it's like it's really looking back, it's fun to look back. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.400 On those moments and been able to watch. We were lockermates, right, No, 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.360 I appreciate it. 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:46.600 Bro. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.000 Tom flew from that moment on, like from the first 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.440 A B to here we are today talking about it 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.600 like I've just retired. You've just retired. Fortunately we got 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.800 to spend the last year of your career together. You 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.280 walking off as a champion, hitting the home in your 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.240 last freaking game. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.440 You know what I'm saying. Those are the moments right there. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.600 Boy, You know that we get chills about obviously, but 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.880 oh man, like your locker being next to mine. People 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.320 ask me about did I ever get ship as a rookie, 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.639 and I'm like, for the most part, no, you got 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.840 what you gave. But if anybody was going to give 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.520 it to me, right absolutely, right here. My favorite thing 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.200 you always bee you replaced. 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.800 We used to go to the Team Dinners in Atlanta, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.600 and we didn't have a whole lot of like high 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.280 like Big Network Sunday games. We always got to go 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.440 somewhere and go Team Dinners all the time. And Jay, hey, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.400 we'd order and I always did the sides and never 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.520 going around and. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.000 Freaking Jay, Hey, hey, Ross, can you give me some 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:42.600 of the crab. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.800 Grab games? 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.960 But he wouldn't order himuse his rookie. He was like, hey, we. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.080 Were twenty when you broke in twenty Wow. I remember 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.960 in two thousand and six we were playing in East Cobb, Georgia. Marriotta, Georgia. 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.679 You're in the East Cobb astros. I believe, right, is 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.480 that the time you run and I knew who you were. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.880 You had no idea who I was. And your dad 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.840 was working like maintenance on the field, and my dad 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.680 talked to your dad about Jason Hayward and this and that, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.200 and we played against each other. You don't remember what 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.000 I do because you were a superstar and I was 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.920 an one at the time. So but it was so 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.440 cool to see you make your debut with the Braves. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.320 You and Freddie Freeman, we all got drafted the same year. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.639 You get drafted by your hometown team. How cool was 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.320 that slash? Looking back? How hard was that? 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:36.080 It was? 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.360 Man, all those moments, even coming from an East Cobb, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.600 all the build up being in the Braves backyard. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.080 Right. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.720 We watched a lot of guys do that, some of 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:47.840 our former teammates, right, Brian McCann, Frank Core, you know, 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.120 Eric Kenski. But it was it was like, welcome to 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.520 the big leagues. You watch this team on TV your 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.000 whole life. Now you get to go be in the 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:01.040 same clubhouse with the Bovia Cox Chipper Jones, Like Chipper 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.520 was like one of my baseball cards. Yeah, you know 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.600 what I'm saying, Well, that's your hometown exactly. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.640 We used to tell Chipper we grew up watching him 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.560 on Black and White team. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.440 You No, it's all coming back around, man, it's the 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.440 Atlanta time was fun and being the being locker mats 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.080 for all that time, watching you grow in your career, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.479 and following as I left him, went to Boston and 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.839 then you know, you bounced around a little bit. You 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.120 went to the enemy for a little bit, went to 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.120 Saint Louis, had a really good year before here, took 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:33.280 less money. 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.560 Right, walk me through your free agent process. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.760 You're finally a free agent, bounced around a little bit, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.600 had a great year in Saint Louis, and you choose 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:41.320 the Cubbies. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.440 So getting traded out of Atlanta, getting introduced to the 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.920 business ide very young into the game. Uh, Saint Louis 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.119 year twenty fifteen was my free agent. Walk here, great 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.400 group of people, amazing vibes playing baseball, playing to win, right, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.839 living World championships. I'm like, this is what I asked 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.479 to do, is just play to win. But you don't 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.960 know how it's going to go. It goes. But playing 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:08.359 this division was like an introduction to the Midwest. Those 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.680 vibes of people who care about their teams with like 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.480 a different type passion. And so getting to do that 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.479 six times a year, you know, three times, you know 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.080 here it really because that's when you still played the 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.279 teams every time before all the inter league coming to regularly, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.960 I'm like, for one, first thing I know is like 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.480 they got a lot of young guys. They're going to 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.880 be together for a long time. And if I had 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.280 to pick somewhere, I want to be That's ideal. After 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.200 seeing what was happening in Saint Louis, it was about 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.960 a kind of tear down and rebuild. We went through 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.080 it in Atlanta, I'm like, I want to go somewhere, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.280 and like you don't know who's going to be with, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.479 but then you just adding everything else that comes with 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.479 being a cup, like the history playing on this like 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.800 cathedral of a saying lot here at regularly, all the 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:51.240 history there. But then like yourself, then seeing Dex, then 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.960 seeing Rossie come over, seeing them go get less, knowing 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.480 that THEO has all types of experience, and like breaking 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.960 a curse. So I'm like you, if I got a choice, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.080 like let's make it here. They know no brainer, like 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.800 they're trying to win. They got a group that's going 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.599 to be the guyther for a long time. Let's see 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.520 if we can make history. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.480 And you've made your home here, that's how much you've 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.320 liked it. Yeah, that's impressive. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.800 When THEO is selling you in the free agent, because 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.880 when you're a good When you're really good, when you're 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.000 a top free agent, you get the red carpet treatment, 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.400 probably flew around and meet everyone. We were never that 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:23.840 good out about us. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:24.200 Stop. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.000 But what was he selling you on here? Because you 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.360 say the cathedral, but you don't really I feel like 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.320 until you play here, you really don't understand it until 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.640 you're ingrained in this culture of the fandom, playing at 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.160 Wrigley every day, playing at Real really on a Tuesday 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.800 in August and it's sold out, you know what I mean? 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.760 Like all what makes it special being in a neighborhood, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.080 the boat on the lake right, everything that comes in 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.320 it so. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.480 Way, games is so great for your family.

I think you've said 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.720 it to me too, But then when you get to Chicago, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.080 when you play the day games, you don't understand. I 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.480 never understood what anyone was talking about.

I don't know how they did all those 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.760 day games because it was just a different day game 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.240 in New York compared to Chicago.

One of my 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.640 high school teammates, Andy will Mott, he's UH from Middle Tennessee. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.159 He was a senior. He was junior. Sorry the girl 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.480 we want to stay together. I was a sophomore, but 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.480 my senior year he came back from UH school, came 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.720 to our homecoming football game, saw his mom. His mom 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.840 was one of my teachers, and she was beloved throughout 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.040 the whole community. She was like team mom of the 0:17:55.040 --> 0:18:00.600 whole school, Miss Tammy Rushting. And we find out the 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.040 Monday morning on his way back, he gets in the 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.200 car accident, passes away, and I just remember, like the 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.560 whole baseball team coming together alone first in the cafeteria, 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.480 and I mean, these are things you can't make up, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.160 like the feelings that that brought and how it brought 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:21.080 us down. But immediately we wanted to all rush together 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.720 be supportive of her. And I remember going back to 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.760 her classroom every day whenever I was walking through to 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.040 another class like, hey, how are you good to see you? 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:29.240 Wow. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.680 When I graduated, I would come back.

If not, she's going to tell me and 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.120 so on. So that was routine. So once I found 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.840 out I was going to be number twenty two with Atlanta, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.560 Nate mccloth had number twenty four. He'll be trained over 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:53.000 from the Pirates, and I remember Ben Benn. Yeah, after 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.480 Ben Akrey coming up to me in the clubhouse in 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.320 Orlando's like, hey, Jay, like, I know you've been twenty four, 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.520 you're a hoker and from high school, but are you 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.720 cool with twenty two? I'm like absolutely, Oh wow. I'm 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.840 like it's you know what, it's perfect. And so driving 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.919 up from spring training, our first season opener was in 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.639 was in Atlanta April fifth, and I stopped through Henry County, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.359 go by the high school. My fall league jersey was 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.920 also number twenty two. And so if you do fall 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.600 league right, like, you get the major league replica jersey. 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:24.840 I was like, she's going to get the first one 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:25.840 before I even get one. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:26.520 Wow. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.760 So I walk in the classroom tell her nobody else 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.440 knew my number at the time, right because you keep 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.439 it a secret. And I handed to her and I'm like, 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.680 I want you to have this, and she just broke down. 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:38.720 Wow, that's incredible. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.040 But that's that's nice. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.399 That's how it came about. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.320 And she had the first jersey walking in before they 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.120 started the sales and like the fifth inning or whatever. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.119 So that's that's the story. I want her to do 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.760 something in memory of Andy. Do it for her and 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.480 then everybody else in Herrick County. They knew Andy so well. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:54.720 I appreciate you guys asking. 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:54.960 Me, of course. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.240 I mean Jay Hay always was so generous for us. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.360 And we talk about all the guys on the team 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.080 that were generous, right Lester Lackey, Jay being twenty six 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:09.560 years old, being a massive veteran on our team with 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:14.119 deep pockets, which which definitely help. But every every year, 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.000 for the most part, every opening Day. I think Lester 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.240 may have done this first, and then you you did it? 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.600 Would you get us iPads one year? The new computers 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:25.360 and Apple. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.600 Comparisers still have I tell the story my son, my 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.600 son has stolen them. But the Apple the Apple earphones. 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.280 Yeah, everybody, when you're when you're super pro in the 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.879 big leagues, on opening Day, you'll buy all the boys 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.560 gifts kind of wishing them, Hey, here's cheers.

Those 0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:32.800 were the vibes. Oh in the spring training it set 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:33.240 the tone. 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:34.679 Wow, well that was it? 0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.159 Like what so now you you meet the boys and 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.439 then now you're pumped to go in spring training? Like 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.439 what was your first impressions of Joe and the and 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.080 the group as a whole. Obviously we love Mesa and 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.840 Sloan Park and all that, but like Bussy Bussy the 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:50.399 whole skit. 0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:54.479 There was someone to cover every detail of whatever they 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.919 needed to be right, whether it's like all right, we 0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:58.920 need to step up a little bit more, we need 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.840 to chill the fuck out a little bit more, Joe. 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.280 Sometimes Joe'd be like, why you guys getn't here so early? 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:05.080 It makes no sense? 0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.160 You know what it is great now you're right, you're right. 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:09.800 But we'd be like, no, bro, like we care, we 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.919 want to I know you care, you know, but like 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:13.760 it was just nice to have those kind of voices 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:17.880 of reason. But then lastly, like playing at Sloan Park, 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.720 they wanted you to get him in on second with 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:23.880 a double nobody out, We need you to get him over, 0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:26.400 and we needed a guy on the guy on third 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:28.880 to score from like a ground ball somewhere or side fly. 0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:32.040 In spring training game one, we're expecting ABC Baseball. We 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.439 need to win today at Sloan Park. Yeah, those were 0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:36.240 new vibes for me, and like it was, it was 0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:37.959 it was a cool way to be like, nah, like 0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:39.000 we're trying to do this. 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:39.840 Wow. 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:43.320 Do you at what point though, did you really realize 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.960 we had a good team from day one to spring 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:49.040 training or was there something? Because I mean spring training 0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:51.679 every team thinks they're good, right, we obviously had a 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:56.040 lot of momentum. We beat you guys in fifteen to 0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.480 get even more momentum we sign you was it spring training? 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:01.879 Was there a game early on in the regular season 0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:04.800 that you felt something different or that it was just 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:05.760 survived the whole time. 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.439 I look at everything like it's one season, always like 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:13.719 I can't help it, gifting a curse.

Selfishly success when you weren't having the 0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:48.880 success that you were accustomed, to because it didn't seem 0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:51.600 like it as a as a. Teammate but you never 0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.120 know what's going on. Inside someone could be paddling like a, 0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:56.560 duck you know WHAT i.
