He's a Latin Grammy nominee New York Yankees legend is going to be playing the national anthem at the Yankees game tomorrow and also use your board excellent because white would be of Yankees game, not just judge his mom made men legend Bernie Williams, Bernie, how are you are the greatest figures are most relevant. Absolutely amazing. That's a beautiful intro. You've accomplished so much done so much to be a Yankee Stadium tomorrow will to get an error in judgment yet usable that why you better be at the stadium.

Specifically, tomorrow you doing something great help more people understand that first is robbery for the sake this is really important for four people to understand why my fair sized just hit a homerun your lunch launching this great campaign called tune into long health is all it is a company that I have been involved with to raise awareness about interstitial lung disease. All my father darted into thousand and one from the idiopathic fibrosis which is one of these forms of interstitial disease and been involved with the Boehringer Ingelheim over the past seven years raising awareness of first winter campaign call breathless, which was specifically for two idiopathic fibrosis but we are including all the other about 200 types of interstitial lung diseases and which is just one of them in the water hundred 40,000 people living all complications from these diseases in the United States and since it did sort of touched me in a very profound way.

Because of the passing of my father paying tribute to his life and all that he meant for me. I am taking this initiative and think it is very important for people know lots of beautiful thing that I'm doing right now with special just talk about inclusive help so I commend you what you doing and ask the students along help.com on a more correct, that is correct that from from the music side you've been able to file back together.

I know people remember you playing center field for the Yankees in those high batting average is 300s. A lot of people do that anymore.

The runs driven, how you been able to sign in music to your career post like no you play the far, but now you been nominated for Grammy's, etc. how you been able to transition the music thing has always been in my life I was in addition to practicing sports as a young kid, my mother, which was an educator and educator in the public education system like rock was very odd about it. Having us near my brother, you know, having exposure to the arts, music and sports. In her interest of having a well-rounded educated little as you know that you know. Years later I was gonna take this journey of being a professional baseball player for the New York Yankees, but I always get music in my mind and in my heart in this a really cool thing that you mention it because tune into long health this campaign that I'm and really encompasses all these elements of the music of breathing and allowed them to put them in an effort to help people. So I music has always been really important part of my life and as a matter fact I went to the school of music. After I retire from baseball and how about pursuing a degree of just performance so graduated in 2016 and I've been performing as a professional guitar player in the city you know like another cat looking for a gig here in the city and if you can make it here. You can make it anywhere. So I was just able to make it as a baseball player now having this great second half of my life just doing a lot of things for the community and persuade my musical journey as well. Music Yankees legend Bernie Williams is joining us near the JR sport preshow on CBS sports radio menu going to be out there before the game plan. A national anthem. Alan judge. What are your thoughts on what he's been doing very on those ridiculous you you play centerfield he's in that spot that you use the man what you think about God or the fact that he is being aware of the historical context that he is in surpassing most likely the bay.

Roger Marist has a great opportunity to put his stamp in the history books on the on individual accomplishment and in the season, but I think the one thing that impresses me the most about him is the fact that he is not really making the focus of this season is so you know committed to have the team itself. When a championship that all these accolades are always things are happening to him is almost like you see in them as a burden, you know him there on the way of him doing what he needs to do a needs to focus on having this team. The team itself.

Yankees win a championship so that to me that's a commendable thing in this day and age when everybody is about is all about self promoting a social media and all that stuff. Having distorted, team oriented attitude and him just being in the history books unit with the season that he's having you know is just short a couple points I think today is leading the league in batting average is obviously in surpassing everybody home runs and runs battering as well so I mean he is putting the season for the ages. The fact that he is doing now. When the time counts that he has such great leverage to negotiate a new deal is just putting everything together at the right time in the right place in the right city is just living the dream that allows ligament replay for the ideas living the dream right now absolutely Bernie Williams see with those New York Yankees legend, man, you live the dream with the Yankees are four championships you played in centerfield me know. Judge played in right now is center you Bernie know about gold glove caliber defense how much is that kind of not even paying attention to. We know he's a homerun hitter.

Now he's batting average. He spent the majority of this year running around in centerfield talk about that you know how that is. Yes, I think you know, to his credit, to do errands. The credit he deserves a lot of credit for defense I think is very underrated when it comes to the because his offenses so that it is just so great but I think you know it. It is really important to mention the fact that he is a great all-around player not only denies defense at his office as a good base runner and got even more important than anything else.

He is just a great presence in the clubhouse and we had another cup had an opportunity to be there with all the players are locked up all Neil's retirement number ceremony number retire ceremony and we had a chance to address not the clubhouse and he was there to the initiative of the error in judgment. He is a merging of one of the leaders are undisputed leaders of the clubhouse and he just has his his whole game and a great place going right now I'm on here. I made that is a lot to be said about the fact that he's an all-around player talk about people like Tommy and Mike trial. If people really put a lot of emphasis on the defense, as well as their office and and he is right there with all will Bernie I want to ask you this. You mentioned this. He's going to get paid.

Do you see a scenario where he is in another uniform. Besides the pinstripes next season.

While I learned to understand that nothing is for granted and especially in this game.

I know this day and age when you having a lot of people changing teams in the client to look for a better situation for themselves and their families are the fiber know even hear me know now that one thing that I will say that my be working against them is the fact that he's starting.

I think the burden is on him to look for the best situation that he can get it himself into for the next years of his career to to maximize his potential in his market value so made on see it as a surprise if he ends up in another team.

I am kinda biased on them thinking that I think the Yankees will miss a great opportunity they will sign him right now because I think is about to give the best years of his career to attend to the timber signs in right now so I would like to get this to be the team in August because I'm biased, but I know I understand he has ties on the West Coast so that might be a little bit appealing to him as well so you not know God time. Only time will tell you where he ends up being. But I think that he was able to take your business on the field that on himself. They are not to have any distractions enough of this year. I'm just gonna let my dad in my glove in my plate.

Talk for itself and then with years overlooks you what you know where that takes me and just commend him greatly because he took that measure and his pain offer him a classy way. Bernie, as we wrap up here. You're a Yankee legend and I want you to get the love and receive it while you're right. You're the JR sport ratio you talk about Paul O'Neill and his number retirement. We just talk about we know about Jeter, you are awesome and you're all right Bernie, so I just wanted to say that in it as a as a follow-up, you played with amazing players. You were one of them judges have a crazy season. Is there any one player that you looked at one of your teammates, and said this year that this guys having this bananas anyone guy stand out all I think that you know I think that's probably one of the things that makes the teams on my error little special. I think the fact that we never really had that one person that you would say a we have to stop this guy and if we stopped our guide, we have the team.

I think the team really have this sort of mentality that everybody is a threat you know everybody in the lineup from the not from the first went to the nine, you know, there's no holes in this lineup you cannot picture somebody to get to anybody and nothing that I think… Particular aspect of our team was our strength rather than our weakness.

I think we did a great job leaning on each other working accounts you're having, that the opposition pictures going into the open early and then if we had any kind of lead at the end of the game. We had arguably the best closer in the history of the game close in the games for us so there is not one guy that we could say a disguise hitting like 4051 Russ we got us… It was all spread around the lineup and like I said before that I was one of our strength and will number 51 Bernie will keep part of that last? Why let you go Bernie rule changes baseball, we see that they, we, slightly larger bases.

We got pitch clocks, and for the batteries to stand as well. What you think about the evolution or at least trying to keep the game on speed. Even the defensive alignments.

While I think that is rather what you said what you said after trying to keep the game up to speed to the society that were living in right now it's all about time it's all about the precious time that people have two dedicated to certain you know things in their life and nothing baseball is one of these things.

I think you know this aspect of timelessness that the game has in many ways ways work against the game because everybody so time consuming. You know you have certain not allowed to sell certain amount of time to cease to do certain things in these days of doing just, leisurely spending 3 1/2 for 5 1/2 hours watching a baseball game if it might be a thing of the past of the game has to sort of catch up to that I am not you know it against that. You know, I would like to be like for them to be careful so they don't think there with the essence of the game itself and make it something though it might be a recognizable later.

So I would like them to implement all these changes that are supposed to be geared to better the experience of the note for the fans and and people watching them about the same time I like to game you know the way was when I was playing so I wanted to mess up estimates with that you think a lot of us miss the style of play when you are out there playing Bernie. I appreciate you taking the time a hop on a thank you for coming through and encouraging everybody to check out student lung health and will certainly go ahead and share the information you have any final words listed to get people involved. Yeah, absolutely excellent to long-held.com is great because interstitial lung disease hundred 40,000 people. You know suffering for conditions associated with these spread the word. Just get people to get into the you know website where they can find information so they can educate themselves against you not know about this disease. I took my dad's life away.

2001, and I think is really important for people to know this information and I hope that it helps a lot of people think you Bernie.

You've always been one of the good guys your great guy. I know you can be at the stadium when judge probably fits another homerun.

You'll be there to witness that I'm doing witness Monier shows man I gotta come show Bernie to support. I know John Sterling we talk about him a lot.

One of his best calls was burn baby burn. I want to see you burn baby burn on the stage on the computer sooner than later.
