Yankees Giants on the fan tonight, the season opener for Major League Baseball.

So Sal did a sit down with Aaron Boone in Tampa a couple of days ago before they went to Arizona. This was on the Sal Akata podcast. So I'm going to play a couple for you. You're going to tell me how you think the response goes. This was the introduction to him. Here in Tampa, my first time here, George M. Steinbrenerfield with the skipper of the New York Yankees, Mr. Aaron Boone. Booty, how you doing? I'm doing well. Do you feel extra powerful here? Being at George. How do you think Sal responded? Extra powerful? Do you feel extra powerful, like special being a Yankee camp? No, I'm going to be. No, absolutely not. I hate it here. I want to be over at Port St. Luce. I think this is a 100% suck up spot. Boomer, you would be correct. I'm not gonna lie. I've never been here before and there is something about the pinstripes, about the history, whether it's at the stadium or even this stadium is a great complex here.

You can't help but feel the aura.

He did it.

Aaron Boone did it.

By the way, I mean, he has successfully, like, infiltrated every show now.

He's got, like, a friend on every show.

Who's the friend on this show?

Nobody.

Oh.

We're the only ones left.

I'll be his friend.

You want to be his friend?

I'll be his friend.

He's going to try to get to you.

I like Boone.

He's converted like everyone. Listen, I like Aaron Boone too. I have nothing against them. But we don't need him coming in here making us, you know, lick the boots of the Yankees.

Yeah, exactly.

Matter of fact.

And I can understand how Sal is going to get caught up in the whole euphoria being down there, George Steinbrenner Field, the whole thing. I get it. But, I mean, come on, it was so obvious to me that that's exactly where you were going. He did take his shot, though. I will say it's been a while since, you know, the Yankees have been world champions. That's true. That's fair. So you come right back. All right. Good for him. It is a long time. So that's tonight. You've got Max Freed, Logan Webb, are the starters. Freed last season, 19 and 5, ERA of 2.86. Webb was 15 and 11 with an ERA of 3.22.

Haven't mentioned this at all.

Who knows if it's real or not?
