Shawn FarashHOST
But the, uh, the New York Mets, when they, back when they played in Shea Stadium, right, in Flushing, Queens, so one of the boroughs of New York City, hit very hard by 9-11, fire department families, et cetera, NYPD families, et cetera.
Shawn FarashHOST
Um, the New York Mets in their first game back when baseball resumed after September 11th, uh, they were playing the Atlanta Braves.
Shawn FarashHOST
And they were down 3-2 at the time of this.
Shawn FarashHOST
And, um, Mike Piazza, the Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Mets, hit a home run.
Shawn FarashHOST
It's not significant in the, in the grand scheme of things, but it does have a role, and it played a role after September 11th.
Shawn FarashHOST
People came out and rallied around their sports teams, and rallied around New York, rallied around the Mets, and rallied around the Yankees.
Shawn FarashHOST
And I bet you, you can go back to this day to the pitcher who was on the mound, to, I believe that was the manager, Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves, and they'll tell you, "Yeah, you know what? I don't like giving up home runs to the Mets, but that one we'll let slide because of when it happened." Not that they did it on purpose.
Shawn FarashHOST
That was a magical moment in, in sports history, and in New York Mets history, and in United States history.
Dave RossHOST
So glad you touched upon it.
Dave RossHOST
I still get chills when I think about that first game back after 9-11, so many moons ago, 25 years ago, and the Mets took on the Braves, and Mike Piazza might have the most important home run.
Dave RossHOST
Still gives me goosebumps giving it up.
Dave RossHOST
I think even the Braves had said afterward that that was one they were happy to give up that day.
Dave RossHOST
Yankees, Mets, New York, it's going to be emotional.
Dave RossHOST
It's going to be a spectacle.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Give me 24-21 Kansas City to open up the season 1-0.
Jack JohnsonHOST
This one's coming from Ballistic Boobage with the report the Braves are willing to move Strider cost-dependent.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Would you like that as a move for the Royals? Not as much as the Hunter Brown move, mainly because Spencer Strider can't stay healthy at all.
Jack JohnsonHOST
And that's the last thing the Royals need in a big-time acquisition.
Jack JohnsonHOST
So Spencer Strider, if you got him for next to nothing, hey, maybe you throw a dart in that direction and say he can return to the form that he had.
Jack JohnsonHOST
four years ago, it seems unlikely at that point.
Jack JohnsonHOST
The Braves being willing to move him after all the success they've had, it seems that they just don't believe he'll ever be able to stay healthy, and I'm sure the Royals would have similar concerns.
Jack JohnsonHOST

Evan CohenHOST
Obviously, these are somber circumstances we are reliving, but as you said, somehow, someway, we are fighting back 25 years later and trying to thrive and never let something like this happen again and always honor those that were lost and protected us during that time.
Evan CohenHOST
and, of course, celebrate sports that helped us, whether it's the George Bush, President Bush first pitch, or Mike Piazza home run against the Braves, whatever it may be that got us back to whatever our new normalcy became.
Evan CohenHOST
Jeremy, always a pleasure.
Evan CohenHOST
Thank you for talking to us this morning.
