00:22Yeah, so when he was born, right, there was kind of the Yankees were really popular in that moment,
00:27and we were watching Yankees games, and Joe Girardi was the manager at that time of the Yankees,
00:31and so when he was about to be born, my parents and I were talking about, like,
00:35what do we want to name the baby, what do we want to name him,
00:37and I kind of just threw it out there and was like, hey, why not Girardi, you know,
00:42because of the manager of the Yankees, so that's where that story comes from.
00:45Were you a big Yankee fan, and does that add some excitement for the series?
00:49No, yo siempre veía los juegos de pequeño.
00:52Siempre les daba seguimiento a Ruben Socano, que jugaba ahí,
00:56y a muchos dominicanos, siempre la variedad que tenía en Jackie Botan en ese momento,
01:01en esos años, era muy grande, y siempre veía los juegos,
01:05y por eso me recordé de él, porque yo desde ese momento le daba seguimiento.
01:12Look, not necessarily, right, in that moment the Yankees were, you know, really popular,
01:16and, you know, especially with the Boston-New York rivalry,
01:18and so I watched a lot of games in the Dominican just as a little kid, whoever was on,
01:22so in that moment it was just the Yankees, but, you know, I was just, you know,
01:27just watching baseball at that point.
01:29I'm going to go to the Yankees.
01:30I'm going to go to the Yankees.
01:30I'm going to go to the Yankees.
01:30I'm going to go to the Yankees.
