11 years ago today: 12 year old Max Mannis interviewing Hank Steinbrenner (RIP) about baseball analytics at Yankees spring training Can you tell I’ve been into this for a little while?

not sure why I felt the need to respond “right” to each of his sentences but it makes it way funnier in hindsight

I interviewed JD Martinez, one of the best hitters in baseball. He went from being cut by the worst team in baseball to becoming an All-Star – in an unconventional way (that everyone can learn from). Check out the interview here:

Props to you for being able to sit back and listen- shows composure and maturity. If that was me at a young age, Would be a different story :)

thanks my dude

Now people say the 'right' at the end of their sentences themselves, right?

Is this from your time with SI Kids?

Classic max nod at the end

that hat still hasn’t been washed either

How did you get to do this? It’s pretty cool.

I was in Tampa covering camp for SI Kids but didn't have credentials or anything. Introduced myself to a guy wearing a World Series ring, turned out he was a special advisor to the Steinbrenners and he brought me in to meet Hank

You should have asked him why his dad traded Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps?
