-I want to show a video.
Giancarlo Stanton hit a very impressive home run in Boston,
and yet what happened after was even more impressive.
What the fan did with the home-run ball.
Let's take a look.
-Watch the fan chuck it back.
He throws it back, and he actually
hit Stanton with the ball.
[ Laughter ]
-So, home run. Can you believe that a fan
could, from that left field wall, throw a ball in one hop
and hit the guy who just hit the home run?
-I mean, if you and I are in the bleachers,
rarely do you want to throw a big league ball back.
You think, like --
Now you see the big swifty guys. They change it.
They keep the real ball,
and then they kind of throw them back.
This was unbelievable, if you think about it.
It's a fan's dream.
Here's the Yankees, they hit a home run,
and I chuck it, and it one-hops perfectly as he rounds second,
boom off the head! You know?
And I love Stanton's reaction like, $325 million later,
like, "Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
-Yeah. It's amazing how $325 million
can make you a good sport. [ Laughter ]
-Also, he's good-looking. -Yeah!
-He's tall, his body's really hot.
Could you imagine having his body one summer?
-Oh, my God. For one day, I'd take it.
-It's amazing!
-Has that ever happened to you at Fenway?
You played there.
-You know what? Never did.
Because I've never hit a home run at Fenway Park.
[ Laughter ]
I played there for a whole season.
I was just at a fundraiser with Terry Francona
who was my manager at the time, in '08.
It's like, me, him, and Jim Thome are up on the stage,
and he's like -- This whole crowd's out there,
and he goes, "Hey, we signed Sean Casey to come out,"
and he turns to me, he's like,
"Case, we signed you for some pop off the bench.
When we signed you, we didn't mean no pop."
I said, "Yeah, you're right. No home runs -- my bad.
Next time."
-You guys both have children, and I want to ask about this.
Because obviously, we grew up around the same time,
we watched a lot of sports.
Nowadays, my kids are too young to watch anything yet,
but kids are watching people play video games.
They're watching online.
"Fortnite" is very popular. Has this happened?
As children of ex Major Leaguers, are your kids --
Do they care about video games,
or are they all about watching baseball?
-All right, Seth, let me just tell you right now.
I'm gonna teach you right. I got four --
Two 13-year-olds, a 12-year-old, and an 8-year-old, okay?
This "Fortnite" thing, I'm sorry.
"Son, go get good at golf. Spieth makes a lot of money.
Stanton makes a lot of money. Go get good at sports.
You don't make money playing --"
He goes, "Dad, yeah, they do."
I looked up Ninja.
Well, he's making three -- This is the "Fortnite" champion.
He makes 3 million bucks a month.
I'm like, "Now what do you do?"
So, now I ripped the "Fortnite" out of the wall.
Okay? 'Cause you lose it as a parent.
Like, I don't know how to do it.
It's out of the wall, it's in the garage.
But then you kind of bring it back and play,
because you can use them as yard workers, pull weeds.
-Oh, gotcha.
-So now I use it as leverage.
"Can you go get dad a Coke?
Can you go get dad a cup of coffee?"
So you can earn "Fortnite" time.
So I kind of use it back on them.
-Gotcha. -Does that make sense?
-Yes, yes, yes. -Thank you.
-What's unbelievable, too, is like, you know,
Friday, Saturday night when we were growing up,
you go out with your friends, stuff like that.
My sons are downstairs, 16 and 15.
They're downstairs. They got the headsets on.
I'm like, "Are you guys gonna go out tonight?
Is there girls you want to talk to, maybe some buddies?"
Like "No, we got six friends on the headsets,
and we're playing 'Fortnite.'" -"And we're bush-hiding!"
-"Look out, Dad! Here comes an RPG!"
Is this what we're doing nowadays as teenagers?
-Have you ever played it? -I haven't played it.
-I tried it once. It's terrible.
-I've watched people play it. -No, I thought it was cool.
-It's cool? See? Now, I don't understand that.
I'm just really bad at it.
-Well, Case is more young at heart than you, so...
-I'm old. He's Clippy.
All the way down. -All the way down.
Hey, guys, always a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Kevin Millar, Sean Casey.
