CC first Old-Timers a what are
you most excited for today? This is good to be able to see
how the guys, you know, hanging out with, you know, some of my
old teammates, seeing the fans being back here in Yankee.
Stadium is gonna be a lot of fun. Honoring the 2019, the last
Yankees teams make it to the World Series, what stands
out to you about that group. Um, just a toughness, you know, that team was really, really, really good. But really tough, you know, we
started off, probably pretty slow had some ups and downs, but we
were able to get it done in the end, but it seems very
talented. How special is it to get that group back together? I
was always fun, you know, last night we were all together and
it's just like, you know, 15 years ago. So you know, I'm excited for today
and be around all the guys and looking forward to, you know, more of these things,
more of these celebrations in the future. Any one specific you
were most excited to see, probably a jae-min Asia had a great relationship.
We don't get to see each other as much as we talk. But hanging
out with him in school, I someone that's reached that
Championship pedigree. What advice can you give to the
guy's? A lot of young guys in this locker room. But I've never
been there just to keep the play for one
another, you know, when I look around this room, you know, we're all put on the
same side of the rope and it was just to go out and dominate
when a baseball game each and every night and that's all you
can do. Can you put into words what
Aaron judge is doing right now phenomenal? I mean he's one of
one, you know, so it's been awesome to see what
he's been doing and basically carrying this offense in the
Soto so hope they can keep it going.
All right Hideki, the 20 2009 team is being honored. Today
you're the MVP of That World Series team. What is It mean to be back with
that group. Thank you kind of get together here. And you
know if the fans can enjoy the day But I think it's going
to be just a perfect day. What stands out to you about
that group. The last one to win the World Series for the
Yankees. Yeah, buddy Como que le dicen
que tonight's specials. It was a were
inaugural year of this new Yankee stadium and to have been
able to win the World Series in that inaudible. Our one year and to be able to I
think that was something that you know, we're we felt really
proud of to be able to give to the boss. Mr. Steinbrenner and you know so I think that was
really something that was great. Is there any one specific
your extra excited to see and talk to you today? You know, I'm sure you have seen
a few before of course, but there's a few that I haven't seen in a
while. So I'm looking forward to meeting everybody Jorge.
There's a lot of history in the building today. What's your
most favorite part of this day? The people, the guy going to haven't seen in a
while reminiscing. Talking laughing
people that I haven't seen in a while that I would like to
talk to just eat. Just fun. You know, to
see the guys back. 2019 being honored today. What
stands out to you about? That group, you know, we've bonded, really,
really quick. You know, since spring training
I think since day one it was a good group of guys that really
care about winning. You know any from day one. We
got close really, really close during spring training, always
will be special. No matter the age with will be special. So I mean, definitely wearing the pin
stripe for so many. Years is, it's a privilege. It might be a lot of us, just
back in the fold, with the uniform on, I think is
pretty unique and it's my first time back and
I'm excited to be back. I'm very proud of my time in New
York and I'm very proud of being part of a championship
team, so, happy to be back. What would you want judge and
that the current team to learn from you guys? But, you know, I don't know if
it's necessarily. There's one particular thing that you can
learn, I think it's more of an approach, you know. I think we were asked actually earlier,
what's the difference between some of the teams that were able
to win and others that had talent, but didn't, and it's
basically focusing on the little things on a daily
basis. You know, I think a lot of times
when people get to the postseason, things, sort of
speed up and they try to do things differently, but you
should play the same way day in and day out, you get to the
playoffs. Nothing changes. So, So, I don't know if there's one
thing in particular, but I would say just just the
preparation in the approach.
