Does he need to hit 50 home runs or whatever? He doesn't need to.

Yeah. And it's best, I mean, maybe from an ego standpoint as a player, you want to have as great a season as you can.

You want to hit 25 and hit 40 home runs. It justifies your salary. It makes people, you know, get off your case.

But if Bruce is right, and he might be that this is more of an arthritis thing, I know we feel like, oh, that's something that affects older people. Not really. It affects if you're predisposed to arthritis, it can start affecting you in your 30s. A lot of miles on the joints of Jean-Cardle-Stand. 100%. And so Bruce is what he was alluding to. You know, when you have arthritis, like, yeah, you can't open things at times. But you can, like, warm yourself up, right? You can start to get your muscles and their tendons, all those things loose. And all of a sudden, you can open a bag of chips or you can swing a bat. And it's probably a reason, as Sean was alluding to when we were doing these

eight-hour shows at Nike Stadium, that you'd see John Carlos standing out there two hours

before anybody else.

It was always the first one on the field.

I don't show that on TV, but always the first one out there before either team just swinging

a bat. And it makes sense why. Yes, absolutely.

Franco and Staten Island, Franco, what's up?

How you doing? A great show. A little different vibe without Evan on. I was the one who called

in last week about the angels.

Right.

So today, I'd like to talk about the strike zone.

Just quickly before I do, I'm 65 years old. A little quick plug for Walt Tuchuk, who played between 67.

There is.

There is.

He was a shutdown center.

And, you know, it's not that long ago.

It's 35 to 48 years ago.

That's about the time frame for a championship in New York sports these days.

Yeah, it's a way to look at it.
