Yeah.

Those guys.

And, and, you know, they produced the runs.

We got on base so they could produce runs.

And [sighs] what a great bunch of guys.

Yeah.

What do we have to do to win? Um, you know, the, the analytics are big in baseball now.

Um, I use them every single day-

[laughs]

I believe that.

So the, the...

We won the game because, and I'll say it again, John McNamara put Dave Stapleton in for defense almost every game that year in a close game for, for Billy Buck, and he didn't do it that certain day, but they had a two-run lead.

I, I get it.

And I wanna close by going down the line and asking each of you, 40 years later, what do you miss most about being on that team?

[laughs] Just the...

There's so much to miss.

Okay.

And it wasn't a player that did it.

It was a wife that did it.

Is that right? That's a fact.

And so, you know, I remember Frank Cash would come in and say he's going to finance $10,000 or whatever it was, take it out of our checks, whatever it was.

And Davey just tore up the receipt or whatever.

But, no, I mean, Boston was great.

choice for you to say yes to that invitation or no?

Okay.

But how does Wally Backman make a difference right away?

Well, I think I'll change the attitude of the team, number one.

But pitching is always the key.

And we're working vigilantly at trying to get new pitchers.

You know, unfortunately, some guys come into this league and they don't understand how good the league really is.

And so you look at a lot of the pitchers that we have right now are – a lot of college guys that weren't really good in college.

Oh, really? And so, you know, right now, potentially, since Gary and I have been talking, potentially I got four major leaguers that might come in here, three pitchers, a position player.

What's your first order of business?
