00:00Mets beat the Angels 7-5 last night.

00:06Similar fashion, honestly, to Sunday.

00:08They come back, they're tied in the 8th inning,

00:11and they get a ball that doesn't even get out of the infield

00:14to give them the lead on SNY.

00:15And Ronnie pulls one to third, grabbed on a hop to throw home by McCutty.

00:20It gets away.

00:21Hady scores.

00:22Alvarez will stop at third.

00:24Wow.

00:25And the Mets take the lead at the bottom of the eighth.

00:30Second straight day, they've got a lead on an infield grounder in the 8th inning.

00:36So, your boy Alvarez came back from the minors.

00:39The fans love him.

00:41Fans do love him.

00:42He reached base three times.

00:44He scored twice as he's back with the big club.

00:47Obviously, Soto had a huge hit to tie the game for them last night as well

00:52in that 8th inning.

00:53Third player since 1901.

00:56That was a very long time ago, 1901.

01:00To have 20-plus homers, 75-plus walks, 10-plus steals through the first 100 games

01:05of a team season.

01:06The only other two to do it besides him.

01:09Jimmy Fox in 1936, who seems to always come up when we do these now.

01:15And Babe Ruth in 1920.

01:19Ruth and Fox.

01:20The only other two, Juan Soto now the third this season with the Mets.

01:25Didn't make the All-Star game.

01:26I told you.

01:26Listen, one of the greatest things I have in my life is a Jimmy Fox autograph.

01:34You love that, Jimmy Fox.

01:35Like, honestly, like, it's worth more than my existence on this earth.

01:41Jimmy Fox was one of the greatest players ever.

01:43And I can't even – every time you say his name, I tell you the same story.

01:47I'm like, I have his autograph.

01:49I have Jimmy Fox's – I have the entire 38 American League All-Star team signed ball.

01:53And believe me, it ain't around the house.

01:59No, it's not around the house.

02:02I just think it is crazy that that's – we do so many of these first players since this,

02:07first players since that.

02:09It really tells you how – you know, he never really gets mentioned with all the great –

02:15all-time greats of the game.

02:16You don't even make the All-Star game.

02:19He is – I mean, Fox, I'm going to say.

02:21Fox, I don't think – he doesn't get –

02:23you know, Babe Ruth and Gehrig and Mays and Mantle and all –

02:29like, this guy has some ridiculous numbers as well.

02:35But you're right about Soto.

02:36Soto, ridiculous, he doesn't even make the All-Star game.

02:39And he's having a season like that.

02:40That's how bad baseball is and the baseball writers and the fans

02:44that they didn't vote this guy in.
