00:00Yesterday, we had a young kid get hired as a manager for the Washington Nationals, 33 years old.
00:05And that's not even maybe the most interesting hire of the offseason.
00:08It was Tennessee's baseball coach going to become a manager in the pros.
00:14And that was Mr. Vitello here.
00:15He had a press conference yesterday and some things to tell the fans out there in San Fran.
00:19I have spent some, I know it'll be a question later.
00:21I have spent some time around this organization, either as a fan or just watching or again through business ways.
00:28I'm fully aware of the tradition that's here and the excellence that's been brought by managers like Bochy, Dusty Baker,
00:37the toughness from guys like Baumgartner and Romo, the loyalty, which is incredibly important,
00:45you know, word to me and my family, which is epitomized by the guy to my right.
00:50And, you know, the records that have been set by guys like Bonds and Mays and Linscombe and everybody else.
00:57And then, you know, the one thing that always got to me was the family, the sense of family that was a part of this organization.
01:05And one of the players I coached came up during Hunter Pence's playing days and just talked about how good that guy was to everybody in the organization,
01:14especially younger aspiring players and rookies.
01:17So there's a lot to learn from, from the past.
01:20And there is very high expectations, very high standards to meet because of the past.
01:27Welcome into the Giants show.
01:28Best thing I could say there is I hope you can read a spreadsheet because that's all you're going to be doing as manager of the Giants.
01:34I would, I would have much preferred if he just came out, Donnie was like, listen, I promise this guy to my right,
01:40when he sends me who to put on the lineup card, I will spell every name correctly.
01:44And I will make sure word for word, he does, I do everything this guy on the right tells me to do,
01:51because that is all managers in major league baseball have become.
