Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, well over the weekend. Over the weekend, the
one Leg Up Award definitely went to all the participants
of the Pinstripe five K put on by the New
York Yankees. That's right, Thousands lined the concourse of Yankee
Stadium to run it end to end, including the warning track.
(00:22):
Thanks to the Yankees, the New York Runners Club, Double
Play Baseball Sequel, a tampon company, and Securitas, the official
security provider of the New York Yankees and Yankee Stadium.
And so thanks to my mom and my stepdad, my dad,
Vic and my mom, I got to go and be
(00:43):
part of the Pinstripes five K at Yankee Stadium. It
was like a homecoming of sorts. It was like a
feeling of running for my dad, running for mister Steinbrunner,
with my mom and Vic also there in spirit, and
(01:04):
it hit home how much of homecoming it was. When
I'm in the top deck of Yankee Stadium doing my
run and Hailey Swindle, the granddaughter of George Steinberner, says hey, Alex,
and I'm like, wait, who's that And it's Haley. She
stopped me midrun, got a quick picture and then we
caught up after to talk about what it means to
(01:25):
the community and the Yankee engagement in the community to
put on this inaugural Yankee Pinstripe five K. Well, I'm
here with a very special friend for twenty five plus years,
Haley Swindle, the granddaughter of George Steinberner. First of all,
your grandfather wanted the community to be involved with the Yanks.
Doesn't it epitomize that, Haley.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, he would have loved this today. It was so
cool to be with everybody as people were running onto
the warning track for the first time, and to get
to explore the stadium. Even me, who's been in here
so many times my whole life, got to see parts
of the stadium I hadn't seen before, and it was
my first time ever running in here.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I was gonna say, they've had runs here before, but
not like this.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, pins tried five.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
There's gonna be one in May as well, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Not missaying that's what I'm hearing. The details I'm not
sure of yet, but I hope we do many more.
I know that we've been in the stadium forever.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The terrain of this place.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You don't realize that. Alex I don't know. It was
fun though. It was really really fun, and I think,
as I said, the warning track was my favorite. I
thought that was really really magical, and then of course
running up top on the terrace was really really name
getting the overall and that's where we found each other.
I saw he was like, Alex, I think I scared you.
I'm sorry, I think we were missed by.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Didn't ask about Aaron Judge when he is third m
VP for the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What does he mean to this organization from your perspective, God,
she's incredible. He's just incredible on the field and off
he's he's an amazing person and he's an incredible player
and hush contestant.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now we all know, how does he ever think about Dad? Like?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
What is his take when he's running his team?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Do you think of his dad? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Us, I think how's doing a great job. I've never
talked to him about that stuff, but I am proud
of him. And you have.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The whole involved, which is so specially.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
We are we are. I'm primarily involved with my mother
and my cousin Julia, with the with the foundation. That's
so we're always trying to do.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And that was a great gallop this year as well.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The Foundations, thank you so much. Our homecoming dinner is
a fun part of what we do. But the kid's
all to help the.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Kids in the Bronx community, which we And then I
know you're involved with the community in general. So what's
that like for you to sort of embody what your
granddads you. It's my great honor that we have the
best community in the world to be able.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
To get back to the community that that gives us
so much. And now you're on Broadway with damn Yankees.
How'd that go? No, we're coming to Broadway in the fall. Uh,
And we just finished up in d C. It's about
the Orioles and the Yikes, and some of the Orioles
leadership came and of course the Yanks have been super
supportive and that's really excited.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And I know you just went off with your Broadway career,
which is so cool to watch.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
By the way, Yeah, I always loved My grandpa loved
Broadway as well, so I did not know that shared. Yeah,
he produced the Broadway shows before he came.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I know.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That's no, that was his big moment too. Yes, he
was quite the performer as.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well sorry, Haley, Well good luck with everything and continue
the great work as well.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Thanks Alexis. Was fun today. I enjoyed ce and did
run the race with him.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It was very cool to run into her and it was,
as I say, like a homecoming of sorts. I mean,
I remember watching Yankee Baseball World Series Baseball in the
suites with her and her brother Stephen, and uh, just
awesome family. A great family that has run really a
dynasty here in New York since nineteen seventy three, and
(04:32):
they continue the legacy of George Steinberg. Now. One guy
who totally dressed the nines wearing number ninety nine was
Caleb ak NYC Money three oh one, and I got
a tangent to catch up with him after our race
at Yankee Stadium over the weekend last time I was
(04:52):
wearing je holding.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Five.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Kort, you got to represent your and Judge running this.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Did you feel his energy to be running the I did?
I think I brought that energy, you know what I'm saying.
I mean, uh, you know, it's quite an experience, you
know what I'm saying, Like, you know, to be back
in the stadium, but it's it's kind of empty, but
you know, the people came out here to I've never
seen it without the field, and that was also my
favorite part.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm saying, what was the hardest part.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Of the season.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, definitely the stairs man. Nobody was watching, so I
walked out. But I mean, yeah, it wasn't as easy
as I thought it was gonna be. But you know,
he being on the field because you've been doing a.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Lot more on this stuff. I'm not exactly what they
keep doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The next one is in May, so uh, you know,
it's definitely gonna be warmer. It's gonna be during the season.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So I love the opening the stadium up in general,
different things, a lot of practice stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I love, of course, any experience here, I'll beat here,
you know, all.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Right, what does it take to bring us back and
reading to the stadium?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I mean, look, it's uh, it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Take quite a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I think the pitching is already taken care of, in
my opinion, but you know, we're gonna have to take
care of some things. Hopefully Cody comes back almost we'll
see what's you know, we'll see what we do in
the midfield. We gotta tightly shake some things up, but
I think we got a little bit of time to
think about all of that. It still November, so trick
with are you a runner?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
By day?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Dar a girlfriend, she's the runner, and she kind of
encouraged me to do this because you know, I kind
of see what she does on a weekly, monthly basis.
So I wanted to drive.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Somethin and the Giants five kale.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I did the Giant five.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Ok, this one was hardy, No, this one was.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Tough, this one was all right, Kale awesome. Yeh know.
He wore pin stripes all up and down. We're no
nine Yankee pin stripes. But I accessed twenty twenty four,
twenty five and then of course here at the Yankee
pin Tripe five K literally being uh the pin stripes
(06:50):
of the pin Tripe five K. That being said, other notables.
I met a guy named Dave. He actually ran the
marathon and the five K weeks apart. That was pretty cool.
And of course my friend Elle running the course with
her was awesome, and just pacing myself taking the sights
(07:11):
and sounds of Yankee Stadium watching from the top deck
as runners were literally doing their two laps. It was
quite a sight to see and if you're interested. They
do have one in May of twenty twenty six, so
I'm gonna take a look at that. Steinbernerfield also has
one in February. Maybe we'll get down there for that.
But that being said, what a special, special day, and
(07:34):
thinking to mom and my stepdad and making it impossible
and to all the runners. And by the way, Caleb
and Haley were seemingly shouting out my name from the
Delta lounge outside there, and so I was saying to myself,
as a kid growing up, wouldn't you want your name
yellowed out at Yankee Stadium? And it made me feel
(07:55):
very special heading in those home stretches of the warning
track portion of that course. We'll see you back there
again in May twenty twenty sixth I guarantee that as
today's one Leg Up Award goes to all the runners
