Oh, yeah, just because of the moment. You know, it's not the first time that I heard it. It's just I was so proud. It was just the first day back home.
The atmosphere was great. We had heard there were going to be a lot of fans from Mexico. It was a little more than we thought would be here.
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.

It's always weird when you're facing guys that you played with.
