0:28.4

And then I see another story about Pete Alonzo and Daryl Strawberry having Pete Alonzo

comments.

0:33.8

And I just everybody needs to move on from Pete Alonso you have to do it man and I know he was

0:43.6

a fan favorite I know he gave you a lot of moments and I know you're upset that he's gone but the
