We know so many of you made a, a
long trip to be here. It was so impressive
at the parade yesterday. And it's so wonderful to
see you whether you're from Colorado or Minnesota Detroit,
Texas, the Dominican Republic. Welcome to Coopers Town
. I wanna surprise how grateful I am to be
here today. A second greatest moment being here on
this podium with so much greatness behind me and I've
been part of this elite group, it through an
honor and I'm humble. Baseball was my passion and
it blessed me with countless opportunity. And the best
part was I loved it. I loved baseball.
Thank you to all the baseball fans for allowing me
to be part of your life for 21 season.
I'm truly grateful. God bless you all. Thank
you. Even at the end of my career as
my grandpa's eyesight was failing. He would stand right
next to his TV in a batting stance and go
through my every at bat as if he was swinging
alongside me. I hope they are both looking down
this afternoon with Brad knowing that all their time and
hard work helped me get to this podium thank you
again to all who believed in me, supported me
and helped me achieve this remarkable honor competing on the
baseball field was where I felt like I belonged.
It was my church, a place where I felt
most comfortable. I like putting in the long hours
and doing the extra work. I know I'm a
lucky man. All I can say is thank you
to everyone whose support help me get here and thank
you for this tremendous honor, your presence. We've
always felt on your feet in the ninth with the
home team clinging to a one run lead, turning
on your television for the first game of the World
series and seeing 50,000 fans waving towels hoping and praying
that this may be their year or a little boy
or girl getting their first autograph and going back to
the stands to show mom and dad their latest Treasury
. Ladies and gentlemen, that's you. That's baseball
and this is the hall of fame. Thank you
very much. And now having to face a power
lefty Luke Raley fly ball, a towering fly ball
. Yes, have just blown it open. And
Jordan Alvarez has himself a cycle a 4 to 4
day for Jordan, a single in the first,
a homer in the fourth, an RB I triple
in the sixth and a double here in the eight
Mariners win. They salvage the series and they take
game 36 to 4 one pitch from Paxton swinging a
fly ball, left center carrying well back to the
wall, turns around and Jon Durant swings and drives
one deep to right field. There it goes,
it's gone a home run for Freeman swings. It's
a high fly ball to right toward the corner.
It's deep. It is heading back. It has
gone a home run and the derby champion Otani right
field, forget about it. A massive shot.
Wow. And Otani joins the home run party.
A 30 home run season for Shohei Otani swinging a
high, towering fly ball toward the track. Look
it up and it's gone home run four home runs
yesterday for the Rays and four home runs again today
, Aaron Judge with a jaw dropper that said it's
probably going to take a long ball to get them
back into the game and who else to do it
. Then Aaron Judge, let's see if Pete Fairbanks
can make all of those home runs. Hold up
and he got him strike three called and that's going
to end this game. The Rays win it.
Tyler Phillips, which looks very good once again in
his second major league start, six shutout innings for
Tyler Phillips, the runner in scoring position. Now
for Alec, that one's pulled through the hole on
the left side of base hit Turner's coming home,
Alec B on RB I single five nothing Phillies,
12 pitch swung on and that one's hit well and
that one's not coming back Vick Castano, a solo
shot here in the ninth and the Phillies now lead
it 6 to 0. Chio. Ho and Tang
do up 4 to 1 to left field and deep
second deck and then some gone Chio continuing to have
a banner weekend here. Reece Hoskins one for three
today. Hoskins to left Austin Martin back. He's
at the wall, he'll jump up and Martin can't
make the play and that is gone. A home
run struck him out and Milwaukee sweeps the twins.
And for the first time today, the Rangers do
have a man at second base. We bring up
Jonah Heim. It would be great to get a
big two out hit here. He could use it
too and he smokes that ball high in the air
deep out to right center and the Rangers draw first
blood this afternoon. It's three nothing one down one
on for Anthony Santander. Couple of fly outs and
now a deep fly out to right field and gone
have a series. Anthony Santander Suarez zero for two
with a couple of strikeouts. Suarez hits a fly
ball left field going back, going back and it's
gone. Geno Suarez breaks through and it's one nothing
Diamondbacks tying feet away. Here we go. There's
a base hit. Our game is T and Saya
Suzuki delivers a base of loaded walk and the Cubs
win. So now the Padres have runners at 2nd
and 3rd and the number nine hitter at the plate
fly to left field. A base hit for Barrel
will score. Here comes Kim behind him. Seok
with a two run double padre strike first on top
20, Michael King, five no hit innings seven
in a row. Now retired by King on the
ground right side to second base. Conor will go
to F for the out that will end the sixth
and six no hit innings for Michael King infield still
in opens up opportunities to get that ball through.
Take the lead in to score delivers and it's 2
to 1 set. Lugo is back on the hill
bidding for a complete game. He's never thrown a
complete game before the 34 year old. His first
season as a royal, a first time all star
delivers a complete game to win logo. Well,
and Bach with two fast outs and a 3 to
2 count on the cardinal first baseman swinging a high
fly ball down the left field line. Goldschmidt has
gone deep it seventh. He for the Cardinals first
baseman, one nothing reds in the second and now
Wilson Contreras is over three so far with three strikeouts
drives that one toward right, that's near the wall
, that one's got a chance and that one is
gone. Contreras with an opposite field and Bush home
run second inning here at Nationals Park. No score
, couple of quick half innings. Kiss that one
. Goodbye. Well, be Marte number two on
the year touch them all and the Reds have a
one nothing lead. The Reds have tied the game
here so the Nationals a chance here two on and
two out at the bottom of the eighth inning and
this tie has been broken with a three run shot
and it's now the Nationals five and the Reds too
. What a blast. George Springer is going to
lead it off enough of it. He Springer's hot
streak continues and the Blue Jays have an early lead
number 12 on the season for Springer and another high
fly ball to left and he has his second as
many at bats this afternoon and it's three to nothing
with the slider that I guarantee Jazz was looking for
and that one is hit for crush gone 3 to
1. Miami Chisholm with a blast and Berger sends
a fly ball out to pretty deep left center field
automation alley. They had been giving him a steady
diet of sliders the last couple of days and he
finally was able to catch up with one so Laird
to deep center field. Wow. He hit that
hard Doyle is watching it into the trees almost 478
ft. Fitzgerald drives out to center field sending Doyle
back at the two NJ. Did he go?
He did strikeout number 12 for a hated birdsong.
A drive out to left field and that ball's hit
a bunch and Duar watches and it's off the wall
one run is in Adele scores Rendon right behind him
. Two runs have scored, the Hamos have made
it a five run inning and they take a 7
to 5 lead for more on these and other stories
