Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders

Unreal.

By the way, I heard talk on the morning show regarding the new name that's coming for the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre baseball team.

And I have a suggestion.

How about the most famous name in sports? The Yankees.

Greatest first pitch of all time.

And Anthony Volpe of the Yankees was forced to watch me throw out the first pitch because he was playing in Triple-A at the time for the Yankees' Scranton-Wilkes-Barre.

So there is that.

All right, Matt.

There's nothing indicate that he was going to have this type of season in at the age of 29 that the Yankees should have held on to him for a couple more years to let him develop into this mode which you know again he's not Ted Williams yet but again he overall he had a good season so we're gonna look at his regular season numbers 266 which you know in this day age we normally you know hits 300 anymore you say well that's pretty good 26 home runs 86 RBIs again a really good breakout season but let's backtrack a little bit you know with his history there So first of all, in 2022, he wasn't even in the major leagues.

He was in the minors between the Cincinnati Reds AAA team and the Yankees Scranton team AAA there.

So here's a guy that, again, wasn't even good enough to crack a major league roster in 2022.

And he did play 32 games for the Yankees when they obtained him.

I don't know if that's still, one of those is still burning I think.

So, and the, uh, you have not been to a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders game, you know?

Right.

The last time I was-

You've got the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Penguins.

You've got the New York Yankees AAA team.

It's a very sports-centric area.

It's a beautiful, beautiful area.

You need somebody young.

I, I could see probably them interviewing Shelley Duncan, who's the manager of the RailRiders.

Mm.

I can see Ozmus possibly, uh, getting a, uh, an interview to take over, which I wouldn't mind seeing.
