01:52:58,884 --> 01:53:02,553
Yeah. l saw the guys,
pushing you out of the dugout.
2105
01:53:02,564 --> 01:53:06,025
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let me
back in so, you know.
2106
01:53:06,325 --> 01:53:09,911
I thought I saw you smiling there
a little bit.

-Oh, yeah, a little bit.
-Yeah, I caught you.

What a classy move.

Two men from completely different
backgrounds for this home run chase.

for the Maris kids.

Sorry to see the record fall.

this season has brought their father.

when he hit his 61 st home run.
