There was a point in time, not too long ago, where you were going to quit the Mets.

I was.

But you stuck it out.

I stuck it out.

I can't quit you.

I know.

So congratulations to you and all the New York Mets fans.

And of course, Pete Alonzo, Polar Bear Pete and the New York Mets fans and of course Pete Alonzo polar bear Pete and the New York Mets.

Yeah, it was honestly, I said this to you earlier today and I wasn't BSing you.

I don't think I've ever reacted to a sports play, home run, catch, shot, anything like that in my life. In my life. Dude. I was in kindergarten when the Mets won the World Series. I was just a little kid like, yeah, Gary Carter. You got to say kindergarten. Makes it seem like it's further long time ago. Boogie Wilson. Doc Gooden. I was my daughter's age. I was just a little boy in kindergarten. I was in kindergarten. So, you know, this to me, not to be a prisoner of the moment. First time ever, someone hits a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning of a playoff game. That's right. In Major League Baseball history. Pete Alonanzo according to where we used to work

us and why and it's just one of the best stats is the first player in mlb history with a go-ahead

home run while trailing in the ninth or later of a winner take-all postseason game and we saw

it happen i didn't think it was going to happen no that's also what makes it that exciting. Let me keep this in mind for everybody. I'm not a Mets fan. From New York, New Jersey, from the East Coast. I'm a Yankees guy. I'm sitting there watching and I'm like, ah, man, it's done. Yeah. The Mets losses when I felt somber. It felt like that funeral sort of feeling. where like, yeah, it's over. Yeah. The Mets lost this one. I felt somber. It felt like that funeral sort of feeling. Yeah, it's over. But with the one solo home run and then with the next batter? Oh, another home run. Jesus. And my brother hit me up and he's like, oh, man, the Mets are done. Another one. And I'm like, yeah, well, yeah, maybe. Oh, and then when Pete Alonzo dropped the pop-up? Yeah. By first base, you're like, oh, no. You felt it unraveling. You're like, oh, man. Dude, the fact that they won that game after all that is what made it that much more exciting and memorable. And I think that goes down as one of the greatest Mets highlights for sure, but just as a baseball fan, man, it's right up there with the best of them. Even if the Mets don't go on to win, even the next series, I think it's one of the better moments in baseball. And I'll hand it over to you, Rich, because I want to know exactly your thoughts and how you felt. But I feel like baseball, I mean, it was a bigger game. But baseball outshy in the NFL last night when the NFL had a great night. That was a crazy game. It's a rare moment because we talk about how the NFL is king. Everywhere you turned, social media, ESPN, FS1, everywhere. It was, did you see what Pete Alonzo did? You're like, yo, that's the magic of baseball. That's why I love baseball. And I hate to say this as the Yankees fan. That was a very magical, like, Yankees type of moment for the Mets last night. But when the Yankees were on their dynasty, it was like magical, ridiculous moments like that that you could never believe what happened. That's what was happening, right? That's what happened for your Mets. And not only with Pete Alonzo, with Lendor a few games ago. So it's been a great week for you guys. Met fans are all sharing in the sentiment that two of arguably your top five to ten highlights of all time have come in the

last three days.

I wouldn't argue that.

It's like, what's going on?
