There's Mexican leagues, there's leagues overseas. There's 44 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.719 a little bit of everything, as far as it depends 45 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.000 on that that individual and their level and what's next 46 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:24.800 for them and what. 47 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:25.400 They want to do. 48 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.319 And we're we're not necessarily in. 49 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.879 A league, but we just try to play competitive games 50 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.719 whenever wherever we can, representing Tucson to ol. 51 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:43.319 Pueblo, trying to bring some fun back to this baseball community. 52 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.759 I know we have exciting things. 53 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.039 With the Mexican team coming, and I honestly didn't know 54 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.280 about that before we made the team. So it's it's 55 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.159 it's going to. 56 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.719 Be exciting to see what what can work out in 57 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.759 the future with this team and all the baseball that 58 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.479 we're trying to have out here and you know, professional 59 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.759 baseball two here in Tucson. 60 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.919 But yeah, I just love baseball and like uh. 61 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.000 Like you said, I'm a barber. 62 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.319 I do a little bit of this and that, and 63 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.680 I just want to be able to help people, you know, 64 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.680 serve in my community the way that I can with 65 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:21.319 what I know. 66 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.719 Now, Yeah, I know that you wanted to make this 67 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.159 kind of a model of like the Savannah Bananas. The 68 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.800 one time you're looking at that, is it more now 69 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.960 just to be maybe a feed or two like the 70 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.879 independent leagues or something another league that maybe you guys 71 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.919 can develop and have these players move on to those 72 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.520 leagues or what what's your mission? 73 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.240 What's your your vision for this for this team? 74 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.800 Well, yeah, so the when I mentioned like the Bananas. 75 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.759 I just mentioned the fact that like people share about 76 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.199 them knowing about them because of the social media aspect, 77 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.759 and so that's that was the main. 78 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.159 Like comparison, or at least goal that I was trying 79 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.560 to get to. 80 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:07.560 But that's that's similar to like Division one or professional 81 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.360 they're trying to get the word out there about their team, highlights, 82 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.879 things like that. And but as far as our goal, yeah, 83 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.240 I mean there's a possibility we end up playing a 84 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.800 team like the Bananas or something. We're open to anybody, 85 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.399 especially if it's competitive, competitive, especially if it's entertaining. We 86 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.480 are playing you know, old school baseball. We're not necessarily 87 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.720 playing a different rule, you know. 88 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.480 We we we use. 89 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.879 Umpires from local you know, a local association, and they've 90 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.839 coached everywhere from major league, minor league spring training, you know, 91 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.639 off to high school tournaments, college, so we have you know, 92 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.920 just from that to the good fields as Reed Park. 93 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.639 We'll get into using Cherry later. We'll be at the 94 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:04.160 key No Stadium. And the whole goal is to bring 95 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:11.680 our team and our opponents the field of professional professionalism, 96 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.839 but as well as the chance to get seen, scouted 97 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.240 and just experienced exposure all the above. We we want 98 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.920 to bring that that baseball. 99 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:24.279 You know. 100 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:26.120 Love. 101 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.480 I'm not saying it's gone, you know, but when the 102 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:30.720 minor leagues are gone. 103 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.279 It was kind of just like, you know, we're here 104 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.399 and I played for the twoth on. 105 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.680 Tomorrow, so it's and it's not like no, no knock 106 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.720 on them, but you know, they do play here three 107 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.439 months of the year and and. 108 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.079 Then they also travel.

I mean, they couldn't 370 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.799 play any better. Really, just talk about now, Arizona will 371 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.839 go to the to the World Series. 372 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.519 If they do what coming up. 373 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.799 Here against they'll go to the They'll go to Omaha. 374 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:35.240 They need to play super regional. 375 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:38.759 There's eight super regionals that will start this weekend. 376 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.279 There's sixteen teams left and the winner. 377 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.079 Of each of these super regionals will end up in 378 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.759 Omaha to play for a Natty. 379 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.039 What do you think they have to do against North 380 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.960 Carolina to keep this going? What do what do you 381 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.799 expect out of them? 382 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:57.640 Well, and this is no disrespect to the last two 383 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.559 teams that the Cats played in Utah Valley and cal Pally, 384 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.759 but they're going to see some much better starting pitching 385 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.079 and bullpen pitching from. 386 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.400 The Tar Hills. 387 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.519 Uh, this is North Carolina team that finished second in 388 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:20.480 the ACC. There's as hot as the Cats are. They 389 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:26.519 swept their ACC Conference tournament. They lost one game to 390 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.680 Oklahoma and then turn around and buried them for the 391 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:33.000 title to get to the Super Obviously, they're going to 392 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.799 have their home crowd with them. 393 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.440 You know. 394 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.200 That said the. 395 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.799 Cats had faced tremendous peach pitching in the Big Twelve 396 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.200 tournament as well. I didn't score a lot of runs 397 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.640 the last game when we won it. 398 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.079 Did I just say we? I guess I could say weeks. 399 00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:01.920 I'm not I'm not working with anybody right now, but we. 400 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.240 I mean we were shut out until the ninth inning 401 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.279
