(01:06):
day broadcast for the show was alwayspost show stuff. In my early promotions
days, this day was a marathonfor the promotions department of which we also
had our own promotions department of likeyou know, multiple van drivers and coordinators
and whatnot. And it would startwith a morning show broadcast like Tank from
(01:27):
the Lockwarder show would be out somewheredown by Fenway, you know, pregame
in it, and then so wedo a big to do for that,
and then we'd always have like apost game. And this is through the
beer companies. They used to sendus to bars around Fenway. Yeah,

we're watching the game on the screensin the bar while it was going on.

them. I believe it might havebeen to Seattle and Big movaugh Big ma
Vaughn hit a walk off Grand Slamand the Red Sox won on opening day.
It was like you could hear theroar from inside the empty Bills bar
because there's nobody in there. Theywere all on the side of the stadium,
(02:34):
right, But we just said,oh shit, this place is about
to get overrun. Yeah, andit was like thank God, because it
was like either people were going tocome back pissy or they're going to come
back really pumped. And so weended up having a grand gig after.
Yeah. I noticed with this celebrationof the two thousand and four team,
one of the guys that would probablyI mean, you got Franconi, you
(02:57):
got Ramirez, you know you,you got Big Poppy. Those guys are
all going to get these tremendous Idon't even know if are they introducing them
one by one? Are they justgonna have the whole team come out knowing
the socks? I bet they introduceeach one each one. Yeah, here's
equipment manager Fred Rogers. I thinkthe one the one missing from that list
that would definitely be a top fivein getting applause. Is Dave Roberts.

the list. Nor did I seePedro's name on the list. Ah.
