about this Vrabel story.
All right.
So just keep him up there and he'll get in on the conversation when he can.
I wanted to start in the place because we were talking during the break about just iconic Marlins home runs.
And I know that we're out of the local hour now.
And I do want to, and we'll get to this Vrabel story, but I did want to finish the conversation that we were having because I'm sitting here celebrating Chandler Simpson of my beloved Rays and the way that he just hits the ball on the ground and runs all over the place.
as the entire sport has gone to exit velocity and lift.
And we started talking about Marlins home runs and people least likely to hit a Marlins home run.
And somebody here nominated D Gordon for the most iconic home run in Marlins history.
That's a thing that happened.
That's a thing that'll make David Sampson, that robot emotional because, uh,
He suffered hurt with the death of Jose Fernandez for ways that extended beyond baseball.
The Dee Gordon home run, was it the first pitch after he died?
A non-home run hitter?
It was the first at bat, though.
Yeah, a guy who never hits home runs after their beloved teammate had just died, the ace of the staff.
Just as shocking a death as a sports team will ever see for an individual.
The next guy up is not a home run hitter.
Who nominated that, though?
Because that was a home run that what you're talking about there is all emotion, no stakes.
