Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his pal, Dave Damachak.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast.

Cousin Sal, coming to you, spaghetti meatballs behind the glass, baby-faced Joel Solomon, producing this mess, and I'm here with my good, good pals, Dave Damashek, and Martin Weiss.

The day after, I don't know why I've lost my voice, I didn't have a horse in the race, or whatever that was. Red Sox Yankees. Yankees are done. Six to two. They're out. I watched the game at Tony Pease

with spaghetti and meatballs and baby

face Joel Solomon. I have to say, Shaq, your boy Spaghetti, I have not watched a game with him

before. It's certainly not one of this importance. He spent half the game with his head and his hands

and the other half with his head and brisket nachos. But it was sad.

It was very sad what went on.

Well, listen, with all respect to the Yankees fans out there, obviously you've had plenty

to celebrate over the course of your life.

So too of Red Sox fans, unless you are of a certain age.

My old man, I got to tell you, you know this, Sal. If he sees a Red Sox logo,

it is the strongest magnet known to man. He will go and bend your ear for the next hour at least,

and they'll be, I'm not really a Red Sox fan. I just got the ball cap. And no matter,

he's telling you stories about Ted williams and on and i

watched with him literally half his life ago um in 1978 he always of my earliest sports memories

the old man taking me to the to see pit football tony dorset and the steelers and everything so

in 78 when he said we got to watch this red Sox game, I assumed that that was our team.

And I ended up heartbroken when Yaz popped out to Greg Nattles there in 78.

Oh, really?
