I know Jose Reyes lived out there.
He hasn't been here in 15 years.
I know, but I'm just saying, it's closer to live on Long Island to Citi Field than it is to live in the city.
And I guess the single guys could still live in the city, just like a number of Ranger single guys live down here.
Yeah.
But they practice up in Tarrytown.
You know, that kind of thing.
So I just say that there's a lot of reasons why that you'd want to play for Steve Cohen, and one of those things is, and I remember when we did our show out there in Huntington, and we had, what's his name, Iglesias on.
That's right.
And he said that Alex Cohen gave him an, oh, my God, necklace of diamonds.
That's right.
That's the kind of thing that players want.
You know, they don't want necklace of diamonds, but they just want appreciation from ownership.
And then they didn't re-sign him, and he was pissed off.
Well, he didn't fit the model that David Stearns was trying to fix here.
I'm just saying.
It was just he went from loving those guys to being pissed off at them.
I just think that what you have to do is if you are the Mets, if you are the Islanders, if you are the Jets, and you have this stench that had been attached to you.
The way to get rid of that is, number one, by winning, but also going out and getting the right players.
And then when the players get here, you treat them the way that they should be treated, and that's professionally.
