Speaker 1 (00:01):
Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
On the day that Yogi Barra helped close out the
old Yankee Stadium seventeen years ago, Yogi Barra Stadium made
some history of its own. Of course, Yogi bear Stadium,
Yogi Berra Museum, created many years ago in honor of Yogi,
who of course got to enjoy that museum up until
(00:30):
he passed in twenty fifteen, and this week marks ten
years since Lawrence Peter Bearra passed away, and Boyle Boy,
the likes of Lindsay Barra, Bob Costas and all the
greats that came through Willie Randolph, Lee Missilli, even a
former Tiger pitcher Jason Grilly and of course Rick Sarona
(00:54):
former catcher himself.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Just to name a few that continue.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The legacy of Yogi Berra by supporting the museum by
being at that field, and of course Yogi Berra Stadium
which was home to the Jackals now home to NJIT.
While we had a very special opportunity this past Sunday
to be.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Part of history and watching a Guinness.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Book of World Records record be broken, take a listen
to how it transpired on Sunday, September twenty one, twenty
twenty five at Yogi Bearra Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So hello again everyone, This was an official Guinness World
Records attempt for largest game of catch. The mark to
beat was set originally in twenty seventeen in Illinois. That
was nine hundred seventy two pairs. Now I know you
all laughed, but we did indeed have some deductions today.
(02:01):
So that said, I can now announce that today in
Little Falls, New Jersey, USA, you had a total of one.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Pairs.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's a new Guinness World Record.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Sit play Frank, And they actually did play Frank Sinatra
a little later on, but I'll tell you what that
was special to be part of as Guinness World Records
announcing that those in participation were part of the biggest
catch ever. And I gotta give credit to Anna Seminu
(02:42):
and Rock and Robin and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Who actually participated in the catch.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
And of course for media there then of course Nathan
King of Pin Tripes, Twin Tripe reporters, Chris cave CALEBB
Nick Sing, Billy the Bad Boy, all of us were
there to watch history unfold, and of course coach Daniel McCartin.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But I mentioned Bob Costas and.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I feel like a fitting way to honor Yogi this
week is to play my interview, yes, my interview with
the legendary Bob Costas, who I've known since I was
a little kid, just a little kid.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
In George Simon's suite and then at Belmont Park.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So to finally get this on tape and interview a
conversation with Bob Costas, it did mean the world to me,
and I'm proud to share it right now on one
Leg up Alex Garrett's network.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Or here with Bobs yourself. For a long time, what
to mean the record record was.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Bad like this, Well, it's kind of an esoteric record,
but as Yogi himself said, my record will stand until
it's broken, and all records are made to be broken,
even one of those that we didn't know existence. So
we broke that one today to witness this.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
What that means would be.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Part of all.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It was fun and don't you know, I don't invest
any tremendous meaning in it except that it was fun
and anytime that you can in some sense celebrate Yogi
as a player and as a person and wealth a
beautiful Yogi Murray Museum. Such good feeling on the part
of everybody here, just a great day and you love baseball.
(04:28):
Take real quick, Well, I don't know that these are
original bots. They're very frustrating sometimes with their lack of
fundamentals in the field and on the basis, and the
bullpen is.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
A big question.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I mean said that if Garrett Cole had been healthy
this year and you had Garrett Cole and Max Reed
as a one two, that would cover up any deficiencies.
And they do hit a lot of home runs, and
people say they're too dependent on homers, but you'd rather
have the homers than not.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Thank you, okay, Nat to see two about painting.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well, that was special.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And of course getting to portray him in twenties eight
at the Viscardi Center alongside Scott Hamilton, who played Jim
Lampley as we did an Olympics theme show, and then
seventeen years later him setting sign me as I get
to interview him one of the people I've grown up really,
I guess you would say, idolizing and certainly working on.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Being, you know, working on my craft.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Watching him at work, whether it was the Olympics, whether
it was the World Series, whether it is him doing
playoff baseball or those interviews you know on the record
with Bob Costa, I mean, there were so many different
things he did that it would especially get a mom
for even a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I'm going to look to get some.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
More conversation with him down the road through his team.
But I want to thank Bob Costs personally for wanting
to bring me back to the bullpen area where they
were doing interviews and just a chance to catch up
and have those remarks.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It also was fitting that after I've talked about her
for many a time on this podcast, the granddaughter of
Yogi Barra, Lindsay Bearra, said, chure, let's do an interview
right now. Just prior to the record being made. She
talked about what it was what it means to have
that record happen right at Yogi bear Steady. All right,
(06:28):
I'm here with the granddaughter Yogi Bara, Lindsay Barra.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Firstly, Yogi's big cats. But I was here back in
two thousand and five for Bob Feller and Yogi Barra.
It's bringing me back right now. What's this mean to you, though, Lindsay.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I am something. First of all, you were here twenty
years ago, so his name has been here for twenty
five years. Twenty six years now, and it's just amazing.
I love that it's just still going so strong even
without Grandpa Yogi and his spirit lives on and it's
just so great to see people coming out to support.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Him today is amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You know, we're gonna break a world record and I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I mean, frost all come together.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Eve Shanean, our movieam director, just really wanted to do
something to commemorate Grandpa's hundredth birthday, you know, and he
was so able to say a lot connect with people
that like people he met and even people he didn't met.
And what better way to connect with people than over
a game of catch? So Eve had this great idea
to try to break this world record, and it's been
(07:24):
six months of planning and here we.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Are a lot of if you others, seventy years ago,
your grandfather was at home Plate and Yankee Stadium more history.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
He maintained his honor about that. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
We you know, again, his spirit lives on and he
inspires people to just do good things and it's it's terrific.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
And by the way, his war experience is so well, No,
I mean, you've done that for many years I'm more
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Talk about that as well.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
So he volunteered to join the Navy when he turned
eighteen years old, before he had the chance to be drafted.
He knew he wanted to serve his country and you know,
only Grandpa Yogi could be bored in basic training. So
he volunteered for a secret mission ended up being the
rocket boats preparing for the amphibious assault on Normandy. He
was on an LCSs naming graft support small providing cover
(08:09):
fire for our troops going ashore during Indy Day invasion
and later in the invasion of Southern France, you know,
and unlike a lot of folks, he was lucky enough
to come home and go on and live without the
rest of his life.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And today we're going to have to see his plaque
as well.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's so special, so cool.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It has never left the Hall of Fame since it's
been in there since nineteen seventy two, and it'll be
in the theater for folks to take pictures.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And that's really tools.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, Lindsay, welcome to history, right, congratulations, thanks.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You so much for coming, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That was really cool.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And I'll tell you sabahaw he went on and to.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Survive and then go back to live his life.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
He went on to also win ten World Series rings
with the Yankees, So in addition to serving his country,
he really served the New York community behind the plate
as an ambassador and as just an all around amazing
person of the game. Of course, ten World Series rings,
numerous All Star appearances.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
And also has loved that Bob Costas cited Yogi's quotes
because you know, it's just that's that was the feel.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It was a historic day, and.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
We'll better do it than on a field named for
a very historic person in Yogi bearra and May's legacy
always live on.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Through Lindsay, through Eve who is the executive director of
the Yogi.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Bear Museum, and through all of them, all thousands that
showed up to make the catch happen.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
May it be for sure a way to continue Yogi
Bear's legacy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yogi's Big Catch a big success. I don't want to
think Billy the bat Boy again for encourage me.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
To like reach out, see what we could do.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And sure enough we were there on Sunday as a network,
seeing all our media friends.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And catching up with one of the legends in the process.
Many legends, likely Mazillian and Williaman up.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
But one of the broadcasting legends that I've always looked
up to for sure Bob Costs.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And yes he has inspired me to work.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
At NBC Sports, and I'm fired up to see if
that's a possibility, especially after this interview. Kind of feel
inspired again. So we'll keep those over to that on
One look up Alex Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But there it is ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yogi Bear passes away, but his legacy doesn't, his impact doesn't,
and for sure the history continues in Yogi's name. There's
nothing better than that in Montclair, New Jersey. One look
up Alex Sports. Yanks could clinch a playoff birth tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Why not? Right? Why not do it again? Why not
make it to the playoffs again?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think the Yanks have the division in their sites though,
and so we'll have to see how this week plays out.
But what a chance, what a chance this week to
not only get the playoff birth within the best and
I think still the best record in baseball.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And that kid who, as REGI said, that kid.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
With the hat on me, little Alex, if you will,
would be as fired up as this adult Alex would
be if the Yanks were to go back and go
further and farther.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And I want to cite Johonnett.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know she mentioned now it's incredible how they cut
DJ and then moved Jazz in the same week. That
week that the Yanks cut DJ and move Jazz a
second changed everything in the Bronx.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And that's a big credit to me.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's a big credit to Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone's leadership.
I know you have issues with them, but let's be honest.
They made some drastic moves that have made changes for
the better. And Capilero at short, oh my god, what
an injection into the light up on an injection. Look,
we love both bee, but sometimes to alternate betwea Miccobeiro
(12:04):
just works.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I think we're in the position to get more than
just a wild card berth Division and I think their
eyes should be set on the best record in the
American League.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Why didn't you like to see that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
After all we've been through this year, losing a seven
game lead in June only to come back strong at
the end.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And finish out how they started the season, which was
really strong.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I mean a nine home run weekend to begin the season,
then another nine home run game in August, and they're
getting their wins on doubles and hit singles too. So
let's see what happens and Benard the closer position. I
(12:54):
think Devin's more comfortable where he's at.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And made some changes.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
All after Yogi's big catch. Let's have a big run
at this. If we're the Yankees a week, Let's be
inspired to make that run for only the wild card,
but then the American League East and then the best
record in the American League.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's still in sights. It's still in our sights. I
feel it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It is, as Aaron Boon says, right in front of us,
and to put a button on all of this, I
know my dad and Yogi we're looking down at all
of us watching in the sun splash Yogi Bear Stadium.
And I'll tell you why my dad and I felt
my dad's presence. Not only did we play catch and
he taught me how to, you know, play ball when
I was three years old, but he also brought me
(13:45):
to Montclair State University, brought me to Yogi Barry Museum
to meet Bob Feller.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
About twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And that moment stuck with me, and watching the Jackals
play a little bit at the museum outside of the
museum next stuck with me. So to be on that
field twenty years later it felt full circle. It felt
like I was continuing the journey that my dad had
set for me when I was really young, and at
(14:16):
the same time blazing my own path, expanding my digital
footprint beyond just New York City but into New Jersey
and into multiple circles.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And to be recognized for that means a ton.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So Thanks Lindsey, Thanks Eve, Thanks Anna, Thanks Billy the
bat Boy, Thanks Robin, Thanks Nithan c. K. King of Pinstripes,
twins ripe Reporters, Coach McCartin for making me feel included
in this weekend's festivities.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh and Nick thing is well, how can I get
for it? Nixing as well.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
A very special weekend at Yogi's Big Catch
Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
On the day that Yogi Barra helped close out the
old Yankee Stadium seventeen years ago, Yogi Barra Stadium made

Yogi Berra Museum, created many years ago in honor of Yogi,

former Tiger pitcher Jason Grilly and of course Rick Sarona
(00:54):
former catcher himself.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Just to name a few that continue.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The legacy of Yogi Berra by supporting the museum by
being at that field, and of course Yogi Berra Stadium
which was home to the Jackals now home to NJIT.
While we had a very special opportunity this past Sunday
to be.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Part of history and watching a Guinness.

And yes he has inspired me to work.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
At NBC Sports, and I'm fired up to see if
that's a possibility, especially after this interview. Kind of feel
inspired again. So we'll keep those over to that on
One look up Alex Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But there it is ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yogi Bear passes away, but his legacy doesn't, his impact doesn't,
and for sure the history continues in Yogi's name. There's
nothing better than that in Montclair, New Jersey. One look
up Alex Sports. Yanks could clinch a playoff birth tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Why not? Right? Why not do it again? Why not
make it to the playoffs again?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think the Yanks have the division in their sites though,
and so we'll have to see how this week plays out.
But what a chance, what a chance this week to
not only get the playoff birth within the best and
I think still the best record in baseball.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And that kid who, as REGI said, that kid.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
With the hat on me, little Alex, if you will,
would be as fired up as this adult Alex would
be if the Yanks were to go back and go
further and farther.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And I want to cite Johonnett.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know she mentioned now it's incredible how they cut
DJ and then moved Jazz in the same week. That
week that the Yanks cut DJ and move Jazz a
second changed everything in the Bronx.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And that's a big credit to me.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's a big credit to Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone's leadership.
I know you have issues with them, but let's be honest.
They made some drastic moves that have made changes for
the better. And Capilero at short, oh my god, what
an injection into the light up on an injection. Look,
we love both bee, but sometimes to alternate betwea Miccobeiro
(12:04):
just works.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I think we're in the position to get more than
just a wild card berth Division and I think their
eyes should be set on the best record in the
American League.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Why didn't you like to see that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
After all we've been through this year, losing a seven
game lead in June only to come back strong at
the end.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And finish out how they started the season, which was
really strong.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I mean a nine home run weekend to begin the season,
then another nine home run game in August, and they're
getting their wins on doubles and hit singles too. So
let's see what happens and Benard the closer position. I
(12:54):
think Devin's more comfortable where he's at.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And made some changes.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
All after Yogi's big catch. Let's have a big run
at this. If we're the Yankees a week, Let's be
inspired to make that run for only the wild card,
but then the American League East and then the best
record in the American League.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's still in sights. It's still in our sights. I
feel it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It is, as Aaron Boon says, right in front of us,
and to put a button on all of this, I
know my dad and Yogi we're looking down at all
of us watching in the sun splash Yogi Bear Stadium.
And I'll tell you why my dad and I felt
my dad's presence. Not only did we play catch and
he taught me how to, you know, play ball when
I was three years old, but he also brought me
(13:45):
to Montclair State University, brought me to Yogi Barry Museum
to meet Bob Feller.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
About twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And that moment stuck with me, and watching the Jackals
play a little bit at the museum outside of the
museum next stuck with me. So to be on that
field twenty years later it felt full circle. It felt
like I was continuing the journey that my dad had
set for me when I was really young, and at
(14:16):
the same time blazing my own path, expanding my digital
footprint beyond just New York City but into New Jersey
and into multiple circles.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And to be recognized for that means a ton.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So Thanks Lindsey, Thanks Eve, Thanks Anna, Thanks Billy the
bat Boy, Thanks Robin, Thanks Nithan c. K. King of Pinstripes,
twins ripe Reporters, Coach McCartin for making me feel included
in this weekend's festivities.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh and Nick thing is well, how can I get
for it? Nixing as well.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
A very special weekend at Yogi's Big Catch
