It's going to be weird. He's got that voice that tells you you're in Yankee Stadium. All you have to do is hear his voice and you know where you are.
It's going to be weird. He has that voice that tells you it's Yankee Stadium. You don't have to see what's going on. All you have to do is hear that voice. Every time he introduces your name, that voice -- it's something that never gets old.

They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
They boo us now (at Yankee Stadium) if we?re not playing well.
