0:00.0	Here you go. Here you go. Snuffle, Opagus, as in Mr. Snuffle Opagus. That's the word
0:13.4	of the day. Just say it with me, Snuffle Opagus. How can that be the word for nothing personal
0:18.4	today? Well, because this weekend was the 50-year anniversary of Sesame Street. And who
0:23.7	doesn't think of Mr. Snuffle Opagus when you're thinking of Sesame Street? 50 years for a
0:29.0	show, the likes of which taught everyone how to learn. What was important? It showed people
0:34.9	of all sizes, all colors, all creeds. And it was meant to distract kids while their parents

1:33.6	No, I'm kidding. That's not when it actually begins. It begins when all 30 teams send representatives
1:38.8	no owners, no team presidents. It's just presence of baseball operations. Then you've got general
1:44.8	managers, assistant general managers, people in charge of snacks. There's about two people per
1:50.4	team on the snack brigade. They each get a suite at a hotel and the suites are done actually in order.
1:57.6	So the more experience you have. So let's say if a GM has been in the game for 30 years,
2:03.2	but then he switches teams and is starting his first year to new team. Do you know that he gets
