Transcript
0:03
welcome everyone out of the woo here as
0:03
the recording of this it is Sunday July
0:05
9 2023 the streets are blocked off here
0:07
in Celebration Florida an event that
0:09
happens each and every Sunday
0:12
right here along Market Street
0:19
and Sunday is also a good day
0:19
traffic wise to drive to St Petersburg
0:21
Saint Pete Florida
0:23
and if there's a home game and I am in
0:25
town those two things do not Collide
0:27
very often
0:29
I usually will head over because I'm
0:31
rarely in town
0:33
but if it's a Sunday and the Tampa Bay
0:36
Rays wearing an appropriate Hatter
0:37
playing at home I will try to utilize
0:40
the fact that there's not much traffic
0:41
on I-4 Westbound and get over there for
0:43
a game today is a special occasion
0:45
because they are playing game three
0:47
against the Atlanta Braves dare I say my
0:49
favorite National League team I do like
0:52
the Phillies a lot too I don't know who
0:53
would be my favorite NL team but all in
0:55
all AL East still in first place even
0:58
though the rays are on a seven game
1:01
slump
1:03
not good rice not good rice thankfully
1:05
the All-Star break starts tomorrow they
1:08
can kind of regroup today Wade Boggs who
1:11
hit his 3 000th hit the first player to
1:13
hit a 3 000th hit with a home run I
1:16
believe Derek Jeter did it a few years
1:17
after that
1:19
is going to be getting an award today
1:22
being inducted into the raise
1:25
Hall of Fame at the stadium
1:28
I want to meet my friend Tampa Jay over
1:29
there or we're going to check out the
1:31
festivities I'm inviting you to join me
1:32
I gotta get moving got a ways to go
1:35
Charlie
1:36
let's wait for the clock to move here
1:39
once the bicycle moves on the minute
1:41
hand
1:42
it is what 10 13 10 12.
1:47
10 11
1:49
first pitch I believe is at 140 130 give
1:52
or take but with this pregame ceremony I
1:55
would definitely like to get there
1:57
by one at the latest or even maybe 12 30
2:00
as I believe that's when they're
2:02
probably going to have bogs on the field
2:03
and give him his
2:05
his inducteeism there it goes it's
2:08
moving I'm off I'm out of here it has
2:10
been said that I for taketh and I
2:13
forgiveth away
2:15
looking pretty smooth right now though
2:19
love Sunday morning commuting
2:28
when I say it's been said it's because I
2:28
said it
2:29
probably incorrectly quoting that but
2:31
Mickey powerful
2:34
be good to me
2:35
westbound on I-4
2:37
see you in St Pete all right have parks
2:40
on the outskirts of the stadium
2:42
a lot of people lined up over there
2:45
Car Wise to go in I kind of look at last
2:47
minute tickets there weren't a whole
2:49
heck of a lot available now I'm sure
2:50
assume the upper deck will not be open
2:54
it's going to be busy
2:56
it's here
2:58
it's bog's day you wear an alligator
3:00
shirt I was just watching it the other
3:02
night such a great flip I got a rat fink
3:04
shirt on oh I like that yeah
3:08
good baseball shirts
3:11
we're not wearing appropriate shirts but
3:13
we are wearing appropriate hats it's the
3:15
hat that matters it's bogs day
3:18
it's a cat that matters fog dead I
3:20
decided to throw the inaugural season
3:22
98.
3:23
Arizona Diamondbacks and the race where
3:25
the expansion teams in 98 celebrating
3:27
their 25th anniversary another 26th
3:30
season and Wade Boggs hit a couple
3:33
historic home runs here going played for
3:35
the team for two years obviously when I
3:38
think of him think of the Red Sox I also
3:40
think of a little bit of the Yankees I
3:42
collected baseball cards in the 80s I
3:43
always had all the bogs Red Sox
3:46
cards but Wade Boggs hit the first ever
3:48
home run
3:50
for Tampa Bay in 98 and then the
3:54
following year he hit his 3 000th hit
3:57
which was a home run and to right field
3:59
I'll show that seat when we get in there
4:00
it's yellow a lot of fans too I see a
4:03
lot of great jerseys
4:04
it's going to be a lot of a lot of
4:06
bravers
4:08
I like the Braves I was trying to who's
4:09
your favorite NL team you had to pick an
4:12
NL team that you like Pirates I like the
4:14
Pirates Roberto Clemente yeah
4:17
I would say Braves are probably my
4:18
favorite and I like to fill these a lot
4:20
I like the vibe of Philly Stadium in
4:22
fact I went to the Braves World Series a
4:24
couple years ago with my uncle who has
4:25
been following the Braves she was very
4:28
young took him to the World Series
4:30
let's have a soft spot for the Braves
4:31
but
4:32
that's my NLT I guess NL team
4:35
you can have you can have kind of
4:36
favorites on both sides always heard the
4:38
Braves are like the Yankees in the South
4:39
I don't know that's legitimate because
4:41
they got a huge fan base the Yankees of
4:44
the South
4:46
and just to clarify this is going to be
4:49
the Rays Hall of Fame the race and also
4:54
I didn't realize this his number who was
4:56
already retired years ago so I'm not
4:58
going to retire his number today no
5:00
they've already done that they've
5:00
already done that
5:02
they're going to just give them a little
5:04
award and uh he's going to be inducted
5:07
into
5:09
the Hall of Fame the Rays Hall of Fame
5:11
raise up
5:12
get to see Wade Boggs and person out on
5:15
the field it is 12 25 right now first
5:17
pitch is at 140. so I wanted to get here
5:19
a little early Gates just opened about
5:21
10-15 minutes ago because I you know
5:23
obviously they're going to do it right
5:24
before the game and don't want to miss
5:26
out on this this is a this is a big
5:28
moment
5:29
Wade Boggs you know pop culture wise you
5:32
know Always Sunny in Philadelphia
5:33
references Simpsons referencing he's a
5:35
very popular guy all right I had to walk
5:37
over here to see the man himself in
5:39
sculpture form right here he's got the
5:42
eye going there he's got the squint
5:44
going on his signature is down there as
5:47
well and they ended up giving out
5:49
Koozies with everyone who had a ticket
5:51
into the game's game check us out a
5:52
Boggs drink Koozie I like that they
5:55
included his mustache on there they got
5:57
the mustache you took hers out of the
5:58
sleeve I should have probably taken mine
5:59
out yeah this so this is the locker room
6:01
here obviously when he was playing for
6:03
the team he was playing when it was the
6:04
big Devil Rays they are doing a lot of
6:06
throwback stuff he got the bat oh he
6:08
signed the bat I never noticed he signed
6:09
the bat down there as well so that's
6:11
pretty cool he has batting glove there
6:13
as well and from here after I'm kind of
6:15
showing this here so it kind of has all
6:17
his stats well a good a lot of focus
6:18
there has all his stats there he had
6:19
over a thousand runs batted in 118 home
6:22
runs 3010 hits so basically after he got
6:26
his 3 000th hit he kind of retired
6:28
shortly after that I'm going to go over
6:30
and I'm going to show the field the seat
6:32
in right field where the ball hit he was
6:35
the first batter to hit 3 000 hits with
6:39
a home run I believe Jared Jeter did it
6:40
uh later on but he was the very first
6:43
one to accomplish a 3 000 hit
6:45
accomplishment with a home run for Wade
6:48
bogg he's going to be honored today on
6:50
the field now I'm utilizing this for a
6:52
piping hot caffeinated beverage with the
6:54
Kawa coffee they are setting the stage
6:56
up there by the mouth kind of going
6:58
through some of the card number the 87
7:00
wood grains I have all these cards back
7:03
in the day and here's one of them
7:05

11:01
Eric it's about to happen yeah I just
11:01
love the fact that we're this close to
11:03
DJ Kitty right here look at this I think
11:06

you think it is the best mascot my
11:11
favorite mascot I mean right I have a
11:13
saucepopper Raymond but come on DJ Kenny
11:15
let's be honest we're talking about the
11:17
All-Star Game Randy or rosarina is the
11:19
first race since 2009 to participate in
11:22
the Home Run Derby he's going to be
11:23
crushing them in Seattle coming up soon
11:38
to Rondo with two RBIs
11:38
from Durham get that backflip hooray

11:53
out of a swamp and going with the last
11:55
