I've got all of the sounds from opening day for the Mets.

0:02.8

I'll leave the national anthem to you guys.

0:04.9

You want me to take care of that next hour? Yeah, I mean... Is that something you're going to play or not play? No, I feel like it was because it happened early yesterday. I feel bad for the guy. Yeah, me too, because you know he didn't want to screw it off. Of course. He knew the lyrics, obviously. He's just the fact that he plays George Washington and Hamilton makes it even worse.

0:22.2

But yeah, I mean.

0:24.1

Even still. So you had that before the game. Now, there's a lot of highlights I could have went with here in the first one, but I decided to go with the rookie as the Mets beat the Pirates. The first inning obviously was a huge storyline with Paul Skeens, not getting out of it. O'Neill Cruz was terrible. But let's give you the rookie with this first Major League home run. Elbow problems. First pitch, Ben, hits it in the air to right field, fairly deep. O'Hernbach at the wall, and it's gone. He headed off the canopy in the right field bullpen.

opening day win for the Mets. Brett Beatty, a three-run triple that you guys discussed earlier in that five-run first inning. Louis Robert Jr. a couple of hits and runs-scoring singles. Francisco Lindor 0-4-2, but he walked three times and scored three runs really set the table. Here was Benj. So you struck out your first two at-bats. Then what? How did you kind of settle down? Just calm down. Just like deep breath, calm down. Great atmosphere, great fans, just trying to bring myself back down so I can compete. And he did. I don't think he did not hit a home run in spring training, did he? No. I do not believe so. No, I don't think he did.

1:46.2

And didn't somebody call in yesterday and say Carson Benj is going to hit a home run yet?

1:49.5

He did. Yeah. And we said, yeah, well, wouldn't that be something? He didn't hit a home run in spring training in his first major league game. I think Evan said that too.

1:57.4

Who?

1:57.7

He said that one of the new guys
