I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy?

Oh God.

Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power, embarrassing Eddie, makes way for sensible Samuel.

Cool, that was close.

You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver,

because with Paddy's super sub, your bet rolls over to the player coming on.

Paddy Power. Valid on selected leagues and markets only. Pre-match and in-play bets on qualifying player outcome selections only. T's and Clusions apply. 18 plus scummelware.com. A good Wednesday morning to you. What is up? Warm up show, the Eddie Skazeri. Those days are dwindling. Al Dukes, what is going on, man?

Good morning there, Jerry.

I was watching that M morning there, Jerry.

I was watching that Mets rookie, AJ Ewing.

And I saw his dad in the stands.

And like, if I was promised that I would have had a kid.

I know I don't have children.

But if you could have promised me, my young boy would grow up to play in a major league baseball game and I could go to the game and he would. And you'd be on TV. I'd be on TV cheering. Yeah. Even when he gets a walk, I would cheer. And then a stolen base, I would cheer. Yeah. Well, you are not just gifted things. Yeah. You have to work hard for stuff. I would say you've got as much a chance to have a professional player as a kid as much as a criminal.

Right.

That's the problem.

It's not easy, man.

Think about how many kids play little league baseball.

Yeah.

And how many make it to, forget major league baseball, make it to the pro level. It is a minuscule amount. And then to have a career where you stay in the pros is also another level down. Like we may never see him again. Well, you'll see him to be in the starting lineup tonight. Well, I mean, like, you know, next year maybe he doesn't exist anymore. He better. He was the number two prospect in the Mets system. If he doesn't exist next year, if someone failed him somewhere. I'm just saying, like, somewhere along the line, maybe things don't, you know, an injury, then he does a play again. But for that moment last night, the father got that, got that moment. Absolutely.

And many more to come.
