• Jerry jokes that they had a wheel chair ready for him to take him out to the field.
• Jerry said it was emotional seeing some of the old guys and seeing the guys that had passed in the last year.The Yankees took good care of him.
• Jerry is the same size he was in high school, he jokes it's because he drinks a lot and chases women.
• Johnny Blanchard got the fattest.
• Here's a list of everybody that was there. Oh look Dave Winfield was there wearing the Yankee uniform again, he must have been so happy. Jerry Coleman says "Anybody that plays as a Yankee wants to be known as a Yankee".
• Jerry says "I"m a Padre and I'll always be a Padre".
• Jerry says Winfield's greatest achievement was coming to the majors straight from college and that's why he sees him as a Padre but can understand why Winfield would want to be a Yankee.
