Are they a great, do they have a great rotation?

Are they a great team?

Sure, but they're beatable.

Yeah, that's right.

And you'll, I just, I mean, first off, I've gotten to know his dad, George Lombard, who played in the big leagues and now is a coach, a bench coach for the Detroit Tigers team.

What a great family.

And it just so happened that coincidentally yesterday, I was in the living room of our friend Peter Gammons on the Cape.

And Peter Gammons in his Hall of Fame speech talked about George Lombard and about how George Lombard, and this is George Lombard Jr.

's grandmother, was a civil rights activist who was friends with Martin Luther King.

His grandfather was a Harvard Business School professor for four decades.

And he not only has that great background, really smart kid, but he also played soccer for years and years and years, and man, he can move at shortstop.

I had scouts tell me in spring training that the day he steps on a big league field, he's going to be one of the best defenders in the major leagues.

And the question has always been about, okay, how is his offense going to come along?

He killed it his last few weeks in the minor leagues.

And last night he hits a home run in his first game.

And there's a great video of his dad and his mom watching him in the stands at Yankee Stadium, you know, typically captain of the Tigers who get the night off.

And in the same night, his brother Jacob hits his first game, first home run in professional baseball in a minor league game.

Really cool.

I think we're far enough removed where you don't have to be the guy who replaced Derek Jeter.

He replaced the guy who replaced the guy who replaced Derek Jeter.
