00:00Yeah, I think, you know, with my dad, as he mentioned, playing with the Yankees from, see, I was born in 87, so the first eight years was probably, I don't remember it as much, but, you know, obviously you kind of grew up around the ballpark, and I probably knew early on when I could kind of start to make decisions for myself that baseball was something I wanted to do, whether it was playing or working.
00:20I was very fortunate enough to obviously play, but I think a lot of the experiences I had, you know, whether it was being around my dad at the stadium, whether it was when he was playing, or then also when he was coaching, helped guide me to where I am today.
00:34And, like, you start to pick up and learn certain things from whether it's players he had or coaches he was with or scouts, front office members that help kind of shape the way you think and look at things.
00:45And I think also getting to watch my dad on a daily basis helps you kind of learn, and probably some of the main things I learned from him is just watching how he treated people, different people throughout the stadium, or teammates, or coaches, like, you start to, whether you know you're doing it or not, you watch your dad, and you watch your family.
01:04So I think to everybody in here, you probably know that very, I was seven-month-old, and I'm told, I do a lot of crazy stuff with her, so I've been told by my wife many times that, hey, she's always watching you, so be careful what you do.
01:17And it is true, though, from a standpoint of you're always watching your parents.
