00:00But I would feel fraudulent if I didn't bring this up, so I can't ignore it.
00:03I don't know if you're aware.
00:04I was not the biggest believer of you during your playing career.
00:07I don't know if you're aware of that or not.
00:08No, I'm not.
00:09OK, so I want to give you the opportunity to do so.
00:12I was like, I'm not sure the guy's going to hit.
00:15You were the ALCS MVP.
00:17I don't know if his defense is as good as people say.
00:20You won a gold glove.
00:22You made an all-star team.
00:22You won a World Series.
00:23So is there anything you want to say to haters like me?
00:26Any message to the haters?
00:28You were, surprisingly, a very polarizing player
00:30during your days with the Red Sox.
00:33No, just thank you.
00:34I appreciate it.
00:36I mean, I guess they say any talk is good talk, right?
00:38That's true.
00:40Is that something that did it ever creep in
00:41when you were playing?
00:42Because some people say, oh, it's harder to play in Boston
00:45because the fans and the media care more than other markets.
00:47Did you notice that in real time?
00:49I mean, yeah, they care for sure.
00:51They're knowledgeable of the game.
00:53But wouldn't you want it that way?
00:55Wouldn't you want people to care?
00:57I mean, we can say it because we're not
00:58the ones getting booed or whatever or cheered
00:59by the players.
01:00Yeah.
01:01I mean, me as a person, I can give and take.
01:08I mean, there's some people who can just dish it,
01:11but they can't take it.
01:13But that's what I'm saying.
01:16If you're going to talk junk, you
01:17got to be able to receive it, too.
01:19So but I don't know.
01:20I always enjoy it.
01:21I mean, when I grew up as a kid, it
01:25was almost part of being a family.
01:28When you could receive everything
01:33and you're going back and forth with all your cousins,
01:36that was all done out of love.
01:37That's because you wanted them to be better,
01:39wanted them to be tougher.
01:41So thank you for the love.
