knees i can feel it it's drawing us in
3:43
it's coming all right dj kitty
3:46
boston's going down tonight going down
3:50
in fact maybe the whole series could be
3:52
a sweep even though this is game one
3:54
let's sweep it up let's start the sweep
3:56
dj kitty
3:58
impact
4:01

4:14
good to see you
4:15
we give you fist bump
4:18
nailed it
4:22
i might have kind of jumped a little too
4:24
far ahead with saying sweep it's only
4:26
game one of this red sox dj kitty
4:28
disagrees with you he was already
4:29
sweeping the floor back there
4:35
doesn't appear like there's any batting
4:35
practice or batting practice has already
4:37
happened and they're pulling everything
4:38
away dang i was kind of hoping to get
4:40
some batting practice in but there is no
4:42
batting practice putting all the gates
4:43
and everything away and this yellow seat
4:45
is wade bogg's 3000th career hit a
4:47
two-run home run now this looks very
4:49
different i can't tell if austin meadows
4:50
signed that number 17 there but
4:53
brett phillips certainly signed this
4:56
over here on the wall you can see that
4:58
that is a real sharpie there right there
5:01
red phillips i think they might have
5:03
both
5:04
just been strolling through here and
5:05
signed and signed them what if he just
5:08
went through and signed every big
5:09
oversized photograph of himself through
5:12
the little area here that'd be kind of
5:13
funny right over in here they're doing a
5:15
raffle
5:17
as well you can buy
5:19
buy different tickets to this raffle
5:21

auction right there now this signifies

the the plates around the diamond used
8:27
plates there you can see we see some of
8:29
the infield dirt still on them right up
8:30
there all right this is interesting
8:32
there is a mickey here now they have one
8:33
of these at anaheim stadium which kind
8:35
of makes sense because it's so close to
8:36
disneyland but there is a mickey here
8:38
until i guess it's an hour hour and a
8:41
half from walt disney world and there's
8:43
raymond over there and there is a
8:44
documentation of it and i let him know i
8:46
was wearing his jersey i'm wearing the
8:48
phillips jersey tonight with his name on
8:50
the back he was pretty excited about
8:51
that super nice one of my favorite
8:53

9:08
always a makeshift queue line develops
9:10
over there near the first base
9:12
side for signature he's always out
9:13
signing it's awesome
9:15
and conveniently sinks very close
9:23
he's good
9:25
we're just noticing someone in front of
9:26
us has a
9:27
boss in red sox
9:29
yeah they're not used to the cowbell kid
9:31
as soon as the cowbell started they
9:34
turned around like what in the name of
9:36
heck
9:37
is going on back there
9:45
it's an experience being here
9:45
i kind of like it again
9:48
it's an art form
9:59
i think we're going to get the wave
9:59
tonight
10:00
is it just me or do the center fielder
10:02
just ask
10:03
to hear more cowbell
10:05
that was the center fielder he said come
10:08
on let's hear that thing
10:10
i just needed a little more cowbell that
10:12
is cool that he acknowledged it
10:14
lead off hitter for the raise now
10:16
brandon loud
10:26
there it is
10:27

14:06
up there's a pop-up
14:12
all right brandon back up
14:14
crushed a home run in the first inning
14:16
the center field got your glove ready
14:18
i'm ready this time i got your glove i
14:20
got my glove this gentleman here is
14:22
documenting it with a very nice camera
14:24
i feel like if there's a extra bass hit
14:27
or a home run this gentleman's gonna be
14:29
really disappointed he did not have his
14:30
camera prepared
14:32
for the action that might take place
14:37
that was a strike
14:37
there it is there it is basement right
14:40
going around another run scores
14:43
was a single but a run scored
14:45
nice what you're seeing here is into the
14:47
fourth inning grounds crew is walking
14:50
off the field with a couple bases just
14:52
prior to this they had a very they do
14:54
their job very very quickly where they
14:56
are just getting everything prepared on
14:59
the field so fourth inning they kind of
15:00
run the the brooms across and they
15:01
switch out the bases and everything yeah
15:03
it's really a sight to behold a little
15:05
shout out to the grounds crew they work
15:06
very quickly
15:08
and
15:08
should get some recognition because man
15:10
they
15:11
they do a good job and fast in between
15:13
between the third and fourth innings
15:32
oh
15:55
that's a cowbell over here too get the
15:57
cowboys over here too
15:59
notice all the the pennants up here the
16:01
flags up top
16:03
there is no world series championship
16:14
there is an american league champions
16:14
from last year
16:16
there's room for another
16:18
another pennant flag right up there
16:22
it could happen
16:23
notice in the infield the diamond here
16:25
third baseman's all the way over
16:28
to second base so you got all four of
16:31
those infielders
16:33
shifted way over no one watching third
16:37
that's a that's a big shift
16:39
oh and it went right down where he
16:41
should have been
16:45
awesome
16:45
oh yeah
16:46
get back get back safe
16:49
just need a base hit out of the infield
16:52
score that runner from second down
16:54
problem is there's two outs
17:02
wait for it there it is
17:02
oh he's safe
17:05
made it to third run scored brandon lau
17:08
oh that's a foul ball
17:10
whoa get it oh oh
17:13
you're supposed to be out there
17:15
yeah that guy right there just went with
17:17
the face first like nose dive onto the
17:20
raise up
17:22
piece of plastic
17:23
fell through the hook almost like a slip
17:25
and slide there
17:26
kinda
17:27
and then it rolled down and this guy got
17:29
it this guy over here got the got it
17:36
the usher down there kind of like looked
17:36
up and said you're not supposed to be on
17:38
he was going for the ball though
17:44
just witnessed a mascot race and
17:44
basically the mascots they were running
17:46
along and they were jumping over some
17:47
cones and whatnot it was very close call
17:50
i thought dj kitty was going to lose but
17:52
dj kitty ended up winning and did like a
17:53
brett phillips flying bird move with his
17:57
win over towards the end over towards
17:59
the left field wall over near the
18:00
bullpen here on the ray side
18:02
