See you this summer, as we commemorate Memorial Day, I wanted to shake things up a little bit. We are going to take a look at America's greatest pastime. You know the news, it's sometimes a little rough, a little dark, A little. So do something here that's a little bit nicer. In recent years, people prefer football to baseball, or even worse, they prefer soccer football to baseball, which I just can't get into whatsoever. So we're going to take the producers have compiled for me some of the greatest baseball moments. We're going to take a look back, see why it's America's favorite pastime, and then I'll scream at them if they don't include my favorite moments. Take it away. Oh, this is nice. Oh, bro, seriously. Yo, what, am I getting a breakfast hot dog today? No. Okay, one last. I don't want to be beggars can't be choosers. Do we have any sauerkraut, bro? I'm getting a hot. Wait, is this. This is cold. Is this even cooked? Let's see. Yeah, I think it's cooked, but it is cold. Whatever. I'm gonna have it. Let's say let's play this moment while I put mustard on my hot dog.

A
Baez hits it on the ground to third. Gonzalez. This is so good.
- [02:02]
D
Love a good rundown.
- [02:05]
A
Oh, my goodness. You got to be kidding me. You've got to be kidding me. Stole a run. You have got to be kidding me. Javi Baez. Keep going. Go, go. You're invisible.
- [02:19]
D
That was a great moment. I never saw that, you know, because that's the other thing. Some guys, they, like, watch all the sports. You know, they go to their man cave and they crack a beer and they watch all the sports. All year long. I don't do that. I probably care about sports roughly as much as any other guy, but it's all entirely concentrated, not just into one sport, but into one team, which is the New York Yankees. And so a lot of the great moments from other teams, maybe I've seen them, but I had forgotten that. That's a great moment. Okay, next. That's pretty impressive. I'm mostly interested in this hot dog right now, though, if I'm being real. This is a nice. This is a tasty little morning treat.
- [03:08]
A
The flavors are melting on my tongue.
- [03:10]
D
A politician once told me, if I ever run for president, when you're at the Iowa State Fair, do not eat the corn dog because it creates very bad optics. What we got that beer? What is this? No, just a Diet Coke. Eh, I don't. I don't do a Diet Coke. It again. I'm not doing Diet Coke.
- [03:29]
A
I think this mic stinks, by the way.
- [03:32]
D
Okay, next one. You say he gets away with a
- [03:34]
A
lot of those and it's hard for hitters to square them up. We don't see that a whole lot, but Judge was on it. Not only a Yankee fan wearing a Judge T shirt, a look like a blue jay. Dad giving that Yankee kid the home run. Oh, good job by everybody.
- [03:54]
D
Oh, man, that's cool, man. That's heartwarming. That's real. That's sweet. I don't have any cynical take on that. You know, one time my father was at a Phillies game. Wow,
- [04:08]
A
I didn't know that. I just.
- [04:09]
D
You're telling me now for the first time, this is just Michael story hour. He caught two foul balls in the same game now. Weird. Okay, next one.
- [04:18]
A
For the first time in the history of Major League Baseball playing the World Series during the month of November, everything pushed back. One week after September 11th is Derek Jeter bats with two out and nobody on.
- [04:31]
D
Mr. November.
- [04:33]
A
Jeter hits it into right back at the world. Game over. Yankees win and the series is tied.
- [04:43]
D
Yeah, well, look, that's great. That was a nice moment. But I remember how that series ended.
- [04:51]
A
World champions.
- [04:52]
D
That was actually one of the pivotal moments in my childhood. Because it didn't really occur to me that the Yankees could lose the World Series. Cause they had won in 96, 98, 99, 2000. I was at the 2000 Subway Series, Game 2, when Clemens did not throw that bad a piazza. He just. He thought it was the ball. I remember I got down on the ground and I was like, I might have been crying when they. I just didn't think they could lose. She was after 9, 11. That was bad.
- [05:15]
A
That reminds me of that tragedy.
- [05:17]
D
Anyway, next one. What do we got? Oh, bro, that was a great segment. This is a great segment. We should do this segment every week. This is awesome. We even got that plastic little nacho cheese sauce. Yeah, bro, this is great. Where'd you get this? It's from, like, a gas station. The chips are a little soggy. I wonder if Professor Jacob got these last night. Anyway. All right, keep going.
- [05:41]
A
Two, two. The runners go. Wide drive. Caught by Bruntlet. He makes the tag. Wow. It's a triple play and the ball game is over. An unassisted triple play to end the ball game. A line drive hit right to him at the bag. He stepped on second for the second out and tagged out Crazy Murphy to complete the triple play.
- [06:08]
D
Man, at that point, you're the Mets runner. You just got. You gotta marvel at it. You gotta give it to them. Unassisted triple play. I never made one of those in baseball. You know, when I wasn't playing Little League, I was very, very bad. And so I could occasionally catch and throw the ball, but I really was a terrible baserunner. I was terrible hitter. I really couldn't hit. I knew the only way I was gonna get on the base was if I walked. Luckily, a lot of the pitchers were bad. Or you just kind of lean into the pitch a little bit when you get on. But then I'd screw it up when I got on base. Okay, next one. What other treats are they gonna bring me? Look at that catch by that young fan down there. Let's check this out again. Give this young fan some love. Oh, yeah. Had it the whole way. Wow. And that little boy's name, Paul o'. Neal. Bro, I'm getting fat. What do we got? Oh, yo, is that peanuts or popcorn? Oh, popcorn. Hey. All right. Okay, next one. Yeah. Okay. That's the one I was waiting for. That's the one. Had you. It's kind of a grand. I've never seen this angle of it. Had you not included this video, it would be incomplete. When Randy Johnson exploded a poor little bird on a pitch. The probability of this happening is so low. Play it again. It's so crazy. Randy Johnson, who you know, he got a kind of a checkered moment on the Yankees, but when he just exploded that Birdman, that was impressive. Go to goodranchers.com, use code knowles, K, N, A, W, L, E, S. Most people don't realize this, but a huge percentage of the Grass fed beef sold in the United States is imported from overseas. That system makes it harder for American farmers and ranchers to compete, even while consumers are paying premium prices at the grocery store. So not a good way to celebrate America's 250th. Obviously, good ranchers gives you that good American beef, and that way it's not chocked full of a bunch of nonsense that they put in overseas. It's all the good stuff. Their chicken nuggets don't have any seed oils in them, which is much more expensive to produce, but they keep the prices really, really low. The key to me is, yes, we're supporting American ranchers. Yes, the prices cannot possibly be beat. But the key is, this is the best meat you're gonna get. I love it so much. Sweet little Al, you know, is pregnant right now. The other night, she wanted a little snack late at night. You know, she's eating for two now. And what? It's okay. What are you going to eat? Like, maybe you go eat some leftovers. Maybe you go eat some, I don't know, a bowl of cereal or something. He said, Mac, can you grill me up a good rancher steak? And I did it. And then I had envy because I wanted that steak for myself. Start your plan today. You get free meat included in every order plus 100 bucks off your first three orders with code KNOWLES.

Next one for the Red Sox. Yawning Alex Rodriguez is drilled and he says something to Bronson Arroyo.
- [09:12]
D
What's he saying?
- [09:13]
A
He said, what's he saying? Veri and a rod going at it.
- [09:24]
D
A just got those roids juicing through his veins.
- [09:29]
A
Down to the right.
- [09:30]
D
Just roiding up, baby. That was an era, wasn't it? I was kind of toward the end of that era, but I rem. Oh, man. Just. You got that high tee just flowing through the veins. Okay, next one. What do we got? Do we have something else? Yo, don't do that to me. Don't do that to me. That's not a part of baseball. Dip, dip or chew would be a part of baseball. Are you serious? That's good. Actually, if I have one of the. I don't do these a lot. Not too much. But you know what? I might do one of these now. Just to stop me from becoming a big fat and eating all this food. Okay. All right, next one. Wow. Is that AI? Did she really do that? It's the greatest female athlete ever. Much better than the Williams sisters.
- [10:28]
A
Barry Bonds comes up. Let's listen in.
- [10:31]
D
That was before his head swelled up to like three times his size.
- [10:35]
A
Crowding the plate. The pitch. There's a long one to right field. Forget about it. This one is hit it for New Jersey high into the upper deck. Barry Bonds with a spectacular three run homer.
- [10:46]
D
Spectacular throw on Armor. A needle sticking out of his arm.
- [10:49]
A
Yankee Stadium, three nothing Giants. Yeah.
- [10:56]
D
So that whole clip is just. He had a home run off the ankles.
- [11:01]
A
Oh, wow.
- [11:02]
D
Yeah. I'd make more of a comment about how Bonds was like juicing like a rhinoceros, but you know, that era of the Yankees, you know, we had. We had a little problem with that too. Okay, next one
- [11:15]
A
that's in the air to left field. And that is going to fly out of here on a broken bat to throw. I don't think it was a broken bat. I think he threw the bat at the ball. Big swing on the first pitch and came up empty here. This is home run swing right here. That's the first time I've ever seen that.
- [11:39]
D
Wow. No, it's not a broken bat. He just threw it. Next one,
- [11:48]
A
high fly to center. And if Ford sees it, he'll catch it. That baby's up there. He didn't see it. He never saw it. Fielder will round second and he'll round third.
- [12:01]
D
Oh, man, that's giving me flashbacks to Little League. Don't worry, guys, I got it. I'm in right field. It's on right field. Yeah, yeah. It's all right. That makes me feel better. Even the pros sometimes, you know.
- [12:17]
A
Here's Ventura. RBI single in the first. Watch out. Look at this. Well, you can see that Nolan was hitting Robin right on the. On the top, bro.
- [12:35]
D
Do not pick a fight with Nolan Ryan. Are you stupid?
- [12:40]
A
On an uppercut.
- [12:41]
D
Greatest pitcher of all time. Absolute tank. You're going to start a fight with Nolan Ryan. That reminds me of the time that I love Don Zimmer, Yankees assistant manager. But when he, like, at age 150, decided to go start a fist fight with Pedro Martinez, I was like, that's not the case. Greatest idea. Okay, next one. Look at that. You know, I never got one of these. Maybe I'll steal this one. The DW bat. This is a sweet bat, cuz. It's made in that old style, too. That's cool. We were selling these for like a billion dollars. This is good. I'll start bringing it. Maybe I'll bring this back to the control room. Don't play my clips in time.
- [13:17]
A
Yankees Plate 19, the most in franchise postseason history. Bombers go for the sweep. Sunday.
- [13:24]
D
Orlando Hernandez.
- [13:25]
A
Red Sox face elimination here tonight. A pinch runner, Dave Roberts is going to come in for Boston. Roberts is going beside his throw. Roberts safe up the middle. Roberts will come to the plate. The throw by Williams. Bill Miller has tied it. Ortiz into deep right field. Back is Sheffield. We'll see you later tonight. A 5 hour 2 minute game and worth every second of it for the Boston Red Sox. This would be the fifth running for the Red Sox since that 1918 season. Here it is. Ground ball, second Reese. The Boston Red Sox have won the pack. The Boston Red Sox earned this celebration here at Yankee Stadium with the biggest comeback in postseason baseball history. Back to full. Red Sox fans have long to hear it. The Boston Red Sox are world champions. For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball world championship. Can you believe it? He said he Boston.
- [14:58]
D
I remember this was another moment. Big Poppy, you know, he once spit his waded gum at me. I was sitting on the third base line, Yankee's Red Sox, Yankee Stadium. And my buddy and I were heckling him and he spit this wad of gum at me and my buddy. It landed on the dugout and it was like, it was like six pieces of gum. It was so. It was like a baseball of gum in his big giant mouth. When the Red Sox won, you know, it was 04, right? When the Red Sox won in 04, that was another. When the Yankees lost in the 2001 World Series, I that that was a pivotal moment. And then 04, it really brought it home because it was another event that I thought couldn't happen. I actually, I know like that's not rational, but I actually thought, well no, there's the curse of the Bambino and the Red Sox simply can't win. And then the Yankee fans made these shirts after that said there was no curse, you just sucked for 86 years. And that was like our cope kind of for it. But that was a real devastating thing. Now hold on. You did, you didn't include certain moments that were one that I was present for which I alluded to earlier. Game 2 of the Subway series, Clemens pitching Mike Piazza. They had bad blood because Clemens allegedly kept throwing the ball and trying to murder Mike Piazza throwing right at him. And anyway, Piazza breaks the bat. Bat Goes up to the pitcher's mound, Piazza's running it first. And Plemons just picks up the bat, roided out of his mind, and just throws it the bat right at Piazza. Piazza stops on the first base. What? What maniac does that? What are you doing? The dugouts empty. It was, it was cool. And then for like months, maybe years after I, I had to defend Clemens and say, no, no. And his excuse was no, I thought it was the ball. So first of all, a bat doesn't look like a ball. Second of all, you wouldn't throw the
- [16:40]
A
ball at the runner.
- [16:41]
D
What are you talking about? So anyway, that, that moment should have been in there. I think it was in 98. I forget if it was in the playoffs or if it was in the World Series when Paul o' Neill climbed the wall. Paul o', Neill, my favorite Yankee player ever climbed the wall and stole a home run. That was a great moment. Two Don Zimmer moments. One I mentioned when he went out to fight Pedro Martinez. And then the other moment when he, he got clocked by a ball sitting in the dugout. Old Don Zimmer got clocked by a ball, and then he started wearing a Yankee like World War II helmet just to protect himself. That was a great moment. There's so many other great ones, though. You know, my grandfather was at one of maybe the all time greatest baseball moment, which is the 1956 World Series, Yankees, Dodgers, when Don Larson pitched a perfect game, the only perfect game ever in the World Series. What other moments did you fail to include? After that stupid Red Sox thing, you got the bird exploding. That was fun. All right. You got a lot of good ones. Then you ended all. All's bad that ends bad. See you next.
