Last week you got to catch up with
Javale McGee on the baseball diamond.
I'm not sure that was on his
calendar when the playoffs started,
but he's got a pretty cool
event for you coming up.
What can fans expect coming
out a couple home runs from me
personally and taking over that first
base on defense doing what I do.
Definitely the greatest
first baseman ever to do
it. Athlete javelle McGee.
Lacing up for a different kind
of sport experience experience.
The Sun sent her out at Chase Field
Friday, taking batting practice.
And yes, the swing could use plenty
of work. Oh, there you go making a swing.
I don't know. It's it's. It's different.
I like it. Oh, there you go.
OK, imagine the real like fastball
99 miles an hour coming at your
face and tell why they're pros.
And the battle looks really
small. Playing long toss,
I believe is is this.
I believe this is the fastball
2 seam fastball.
This is a knuckle ball.
Where would that go?
Have no idea, just like.
You saw the show there, right?
You saw you saw the elbow,
the placement every day.
It's it's real out here
and snagged some flyballs.
If you can't tell baseball
was almost his sport,
but thankfully his basketball
famous mom had other ideas.
I wish I did play baseball,
but my mother said she took me
to play T-ball at like 6 or 7
and I couldn't hit the tea and
then she just gave up on me.
So I'm just like wow like.
That was a quick pull.
She was like. No, that's not it.
McGee out promoting his upcoming 6th annual
Water for life charity softball game.
It raises money for jug life which helps
provide clean water all around the world. The
bill water wells in Uganda.
I think we've built six or seven as of
now and this year I believe we're going
to build a Sports Complex in Uganda.
McGee is all about using his
platform to give back. That's
another thing you can thank Mom for
as soon as I got to the leave my mother
did for the first thing my mother.
Tell me is is philanthropy and
giving back enjoyment that I get
out of seeing other people happy
helping other people and making
their lives easier is is tenfold.
It's just doesn't.
It just doesn't nothing compares to
it. His softball game will
feature many of his teammates.
Book looks like a good baseball player to me.
I don't know why he has the look.
I just want the fans to come out.
Just have fun and really enjoy
the team but you can't talk to a
Sonny's player these days without
talking about their curveball.
Playoff exit. Develle still doesn't
have an answer for what happened, but.
Standing by his play and
his team's body of work.
But like my year was amazing.
I had one of my most
fishing years in my career.
I feel like coming off the bench.
The playoffs didn't work out the way we.
We anticipated it too,
but you know, long run as a whole.
I believe we had a phenomenal season
called this team the best in the world.
Do you still believe that for
sure for sure for sure?
Put together?
I believe our team was
definitely the best in the world.
So with the 34 year old free
agent wanted to come back
if I had the opportunity to come
back and it worked out on my end.
And it was the right right thing for me.
Then, definitely I will come back,
you know. Mickey. And fans,
