Craig Carton (0:00)

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad. You know how we do.

Chris McMonigle (0:04)

I'm hot for teacher.

Craig Carton (0:05)

Yankee baseball, got it bad, got it bad, got it bad. By the way, if you could pick the right person to throw out the first pitch tomorrow night to get the crowd all amped up. Uh-huh.

Hold on.

Chris McMonigle (0:17)

I know exactly who it would be.

Craig Carton (0:18)

Okay, I'm gonna write down a name. Gonna write down a quick name. You're not gonna get it. I know exactly who you're gonna say. Really? Yeah, cause I've got the...

Chris McMonigle (0:24)

I'll tell you what, Craig, if you get this one.

Craig Carton (0:26)

Okay.

Chris McMonigle (0:28)

I mean, I will be just absolutely floored with your ability to read how simpatico we are.

SPEAKER_4 (0:34)

All right. This is who I think...

Chris McMonigle (0:36)

I'll have to give you a gift, maybe some hot sauce or something.

Craig Carton (0:38)

By the way, I want to thank njsauce.com for bringing us some of that White House station hot sauce today. I think you got the Grim Reaper, right?

Chris McMonigle (0:46)

Something like that.

Craig Carton (0:47)

I got pumpkin habanero. I'm very excited. All right.

Now, I don't want you to overthink it.

Chris McMonigle (0:53)

I know exactly where I would go.

Craig Carton (0:54)

There's a particular person that I think, if they brought this guy out to throw out the first pitch, crowd erupts, okay?

SPEAKER_4 (1:03)

Okay. Now, let me show the audience real quick.

Chris McMonigle (1:05)

Okay, you're thinking specifically just to get the crowd to erupt.

Craig Carton (1:08)

There's one person right now that I think, if this person threw out the first pitch tomorrow, I think that the crowd would love it. Can you not see that, Petey? You can see it, right?

SPEAKER_4 (1:21)

I got it.

Craig Carton (1:21)

You got it?

Chris McMonigle (1:22)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:22)

Don't you think the crowd would erupt if that guy throws out the first pitch?

Chris McMonigle (1:25)

I think that would get a great reaction.

Craig Carton (1:27)

And I think Big Mac would love it too. I want to be clear about this. I think that you can look now, the person I think that just throw out the first pitch, you personally would be like, yes, that's- That's what I'm talking about. Good vibes.

Chris McMonigle (1:50)

Paul McCartney?

Craig Carton (1:51)

No, no, no, not Paul McCartney.

SPEAKER_4 (1:53)

That's not what I wrote down. Of course, every grade.

Craig Carton (1:55)

Plus, he wouldn't be able to reach at his age.

Chris McMonigle (1:57)

You're kidding me?

Craig Carton (1:58)

He'd bowl it or something.

Chris McMonigle (1:59)

No.

Craig Carton (2:00)

All right.

Chris McMonigle (2:00)

He's on that vegan diet.

Craig Carton (2:01)

Who is the guy that I wrote down, I took this idea right out of your cranium.

Chris McMonigle (2:06)

I don't think so.

Craig Carton (2:07)

Because I'm inside your head right now.

Chris McMonigle (2:09)

I'm not there.

Craig Carton (2:09)

This is a lock that you're going to say this name.

Chris McMonigle (2:12)

I don't think so.

Craig Carton (2:13)

An absolute lock that you're going to say this name. Okay? All right.

Chris McMonigle (2:17)

All right.

Craig Carton (2:18)

What is the name that you think, I think you're thinking, who would be 47,000 people? That's my guy. Go ahead.

Chris McMonigle (2:28)

All right. Now, it's not what I would say, but I'm trying to meld minds with you.

Craig Carton (2:32)

You do what you got to do.

Don't try to give me the answer I want. I want you to give me the answer you truly think, okay? If you don't mind. All right, here we go.

Chris McMonigle (2:40)

I think right now...

Craig Carton (2:41)

Welcome, SNY, we're going to move a game right now.

To get the Yankee fan base pumped up for the first pitch tomorrow night, I wrote down a name that I think Big Mac would say, this would be the best guy to throw out the first pitch tomorrow night. And I've already written it down.

Chris McMonigle (2:57)

It's one of two people, one of them is too busy, so I'll go with the other.

Craig Carton (3:00)

So one of them is too busy? Trump?

Chris McMonigle (3:02)

I think so, no.

Craig Carton (3:03)

You were going to say Trump? I didn't say Trump.

SPEAKER_4 (3:06)

I did not write down Donald Trump.

Chris McMonigle (3:07)

One of them is playing preseason basketball.
