Came across your channel about a week ago. Love it. I’ve even watched a few of your videos on mechanics. Sure wish I had someone to teach me that stuff back when I played. Keep up the good work.
Very insightful Matt. Your “stuff” is unique but to anyone who grew up playing baseball or just loving the game your content is so cool. Answers questions that many of us would’ve asked and some that we wouldnt have but still love to hear. You’re giving us the minutia, the nuances that we dreamed about. Keep it up Bro.
Do players get paid by card companies or memorabilia companies for the company to obtain a players bat or jersey to cut up and make cards or to make special edition memorabilia with.
This is so funny! Can't wait to send this to my friend in Australia. She's learning the game (and loves it), and she'll get a kick out of the fact that y'all were using Vegemite as punishment.
Hsin-Hsiu Ho I came here to comment that as well. He played forever, and was always known for his pranks. I can totally see him screwing with the rookie like that, ha!
I love how you’re almost the only person who doesn’t say “the MLB.” Just “MLB” is the correct form, otherwise you’re saying “the Major League Baseball.” Even guys in MLB say it, hats off to you Matt for not doing so, that’s one of my number one pet peeves!
Awesome channel Matt! Why did you choose to go to Wake Forest? In college baseball, what gear/equipment and clothes do you get? Did you play at Gene Hooks Field? Thank you!!!
I'm Australian. Vegemite is the nectar of the gods. However, it is not good on a stick on it's own! It is nothing like peanut butter or jelly, it's not nutella. You spread it very sparingly on toast. It is a very strong taste, not meant to be eaten in bulk (unless you grew up with it like us aussies).
I hated vegemite as a kid but when I started drinking beer I liked it. Turns out it's a by-product from brewing. Also we have peanut butter as well down here
I know that u played for the padres in 2008, and the only players that are really famous that played then are Greg Maddux and Trevor Hoffman so was it either of those 2
Vmite is obviously an acquired taste that I'm sure Australasian children are introduced to at a very young age. They then develop a taste for it and it's a family staple. That said, there are American foods that disgust foreigners. Velveeta cheese is one of them and believe it or not, Hershey's chocolate. However, there's a specific reason why they hate Hershey's that if you don't know, once you hear it, you get it. Milton Hershey had a dream to operate a chocolate factory and he had a specific vision. He knew he wanted to go away from the European type chocolate and use fresh milk instead of powdered. So, he went to a farming area of PA where there were lots of milk cows. He then built his factory and an entire town around it before he even had a formula. Now, that's confidence! Anyway, there was one problem, his insistence of using fresh milk (which had always been his go to ingredient in his candy) was what became a major stumbling block because of the water content of the milk. He brought in all sorts of chemists and other associated experts. Finally, after toiling away and almost running out of money, an assistant had him try yet another batch of chocolate. He instantly knew they hit on what he was looking for. However, the assistant told him he thought the milk had soured and they should probably work a bit more to keep that from happening. But Hershey said no. He said he wanted it just the way it was. So, that's the reason foreigners dislike Hershey's chocolate so much. While Americans are used to the sour milk chocolate, other countries are steeped in the powdered milk chocolate and they immediately taste the sour milk in Hershey's. They might not realize that "off taste" is because of sour milk, but still, they know something is very different.
oh man i wish i was you cause i woul have downed all the vegemite. Aussie pride. btw when you eat vmite your only meant to have a thin layer of it on your toast
We're happy little Vegemites As bright as bright can be. We all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch, and tea. Our mummies say we're growing stronger Every single week, Because we love our Vegemite We all adore our Vegemite It puts a rose in every cheek.
I would love the chance to face an opportunity of getting in trouble by a boss/supervisor. The love I have for the MLB, I would love to be employed somewhere, could never be a player due to my neuro disorder.
That was my guess. Has to be. He slipped up and told us it was one of his first few camps, but wasn't his first. Gotta be 2007...Wells or Brocail. Gotta be Wells.
Matt, when you said , "get in trouble", I thought you were going to talk about stuff like Tatis of the San Diego Padres getting suspended for 80 games for steroids, or Max Scherzier of the Mets getting suspended 10 games for using a illegal substance. Where your name is on ESPN.........

Awesome thanks a bunch!!!
What’s your favorite teammate or coach ejection story

The real question is did they EVER make you run poles
That's not a question.

Trevor Hoffman or Tony Clark is my guess
Hey matt how many kids on your team have gone to the mlb because I want to join your collage team when I’m older is it a d1
Our oldest player is only a sophomore in college so no MLB players just yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Brian Giles is my guess
I see that's not right, I'll think of him.
Good guess, but it wasn't him. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Vegemite on buttered crumpets is yummy AF!
Haha! I’ll have to try! Thank you for watching our stuff and commenting!

Jeff bagwell
Was it Matt stairs
Good guess! Thanks for watching!!
Greg Maddox or Trevor Hoffman 😅
It was David Wells wasn’t it
That was my guess. Has to be. He slipped up and told us it was one of his first few camps, but wasn't his first. Gotta be 2007...Wells or Brocail. Gotta be Wells.
Tony Gwynn?
David Wells
Nope good guess though! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@AntonelliBaseball Hmm. Stairs?
The MLB veteran was Brian Giles.
Good guess! Wasn't him though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jim edmounds

Haha true!
Are you totally out of baseball now? What are your chances of making it to the majors again?
Trevor Hoffman
Nope!
Why you hatin’ on vegemite? A spoonful would be too strong tasting, but spread thin on toast with a piece of cheese on top...delicious!!
David Eckstein
Nope! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm guessing the veteran player was Jim Edmonds
Nope! Thank you for watching our videos!!!
we have peanut butter in australia hahaha and vegemite is supposed to be scraped on not put on like peanut butter hahaha
Haha yes I ate much to much lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Vegimite is yeast scraped from the bottom of a beer brewing vat.
Interesting!
I figured out who the "20 year veteran" was. Greg Maddux.
Close! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
my guess: brian giles
Haha nope! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Matt, when you said , "get in trouble", I thought you were going to talk about stuff like Tatis of the San Diego Padres getting suspended for 80 games for steroids, or Max Scherzier of the Mets getting suspended 10 games for using a illegal substance. Where your name is on ESPN.........
This video was made long before those things happened
I like Vegemite. The taste is a salty-vitamin taste. Good on toast.
Matt stairs
Yup! Thanks so much for commenting and watching our videos!
I was expecting up downs
Vegimite is nasty
What happens if you get in a fist fight with the catcher or pitcher
You’ll get thrown out and probably suspended for a while.
Greg maddux
Nope!!
russell brayard
Nope!!
I eat Vegemite out of the Jar!! I admit, a little goes a loooong waaaay!!!
oh man coach i got in trouble by the mlb cause i opened a dybuk box on youtube
They made you eat vegemite? Lol whaaat
Worst hecklers you remember?
Haha good one! I'll make a video! Thanks for watching and commenting!
vegemite is like a yeasty, salty slap in the face.
You should have reacted like Dave Chappelle aka Tyrone Biggums in his Fear Factor skit...."yadda yadda yadda"
I would destroy that Vegemite as an Australian I have consumed countless jars no water required
Carlos Quentin
Nope! Thanks for watching and commenting!
It was either matt stairs or tony clark. Come on, you know it was one of the two.
Haha Tony Clark was the nicest person I’ve ever met. It might have been Matt Stairs lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jim Edmonds. whats my prize for guessing right?
Haha nope. Thanks for watching and commenting!
20 years padres? I say tony Gwynn
