Paul Jr.: THE MLB NETWORK BIKE RIDES
AS NICE AS IT LOOKS, VERY LONG BIKE,
SO IT ALMOST HAS A SUSPENSION TO IT,
WENT DOWN THE ROAD BEAUTIFULLY.
♪♪
SO REALLY ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO
IS TO GO BRING THIS DOWN TO THE MLB NETWORK
AND DRIVE IT THROUGH THE STUDIO.
♪♪
SO WE'RE DOWN HERE IN STUDIO 21 AT THE MLB NETWORK.
I'M ANXIOUS TO GET THIS BIKE UNVEILED.
I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE HERE IS GOING TO THINK OF IT.
I'M JUST EXCITED FOR THEM TO SEE WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH.
HEY, WELCOME TO MLB NETWORK STUDIO 21.
I'M HAROLD REYNOLDS.
TODAY IS REALLY SPECIAL FOR US HERE AT MLB NETWORK.
PAUL JR. MADE A SPECIAL BIKE FOR MLB NETWORK ALONE,
THE SIGNATURE BIKE THAT HE'S GOING TO UNVEIL IN A LITTLE BIT.
BEFORE THEN THOUGH,
I HAVE SOME OF OUR SIGNATURE PEOPLE HERE AT THE NETWORK.
AL LEITER THREW A NO-HITTER IN THE BIG LEAGUES.
HALL-OF-FAMER JIM THOME WENT IN THIS YEAR.
MATT VASGERSIAN, ONE OF OUR FIRST HOSTS EVER HIRED HERE.
TO HIS LEFT, LAUREN SHEHADI, SHE'S A COHOST OF "MLB CENTRAL"
AND "HOT STOVE."
CARLOS PEÑA, AMERICAN LEAGUE HOME RUN CHAMPION IN HIS DAY.
NEXT TO HIM, 14-YEAR MAJOR LEAGUER MARK DeROSA.
SO ARE YOU GUYS READY TO WELCOME IN PAUL?
LET'S DO IT.
PAUL JR., WE'RE READY, BROTHER, ANYTIME!

-OH! HEY NOW! -OH, YEAH!

Harold: HEARING THE ROAR AND THEN SEEING IT COME OUT,
IT WAS SO CLEAN,
JUST REALLY CAPTURED EVERYTHING MLB NETWORK IS ALL ABOUT.
SO TELL US ABOUT THE BIKE.
SO AFTER ME COMING DOWN HERE AND YOU WALKING ME THROUGH
AND GIVING ME, YOU KNOW, THE FULL GRAND TOUR,
I JUST FELT HOW CRISP AND CLEAN IT WAS DOWN HERE.
I JUST WANTED IT TO BE ALL ABOUT THE LOGO.
Jim: IT IS AN ABSOLUTE PHENOMENAL PIECE OF ART.
THIS IS LIKE GOING INTO THE HALL OF FAME --
MAYBE SECOND BEST. -IT'S AWESOME.
IT'S LIKE STAN MUSIAL MEETS EVEL KNIEVEL.
YEAH. AND THEN THE SEAT,
AND I KNEW THE SEAT WAS GOING TO BE A KEY FACTOR.
WE FIGURED IF IT'S GOING TO BE LEATHER,
THEN IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A BASEBALL GLOVE LEATHER,
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DID.
WHERE ARE WE GOING TO KEEP IT AT THE NETWORK?
MY OFFICE? -IN MY OFFICE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
I THINK THAT OUR GOAL OF EXCEEDING EXPECTATION
WAS MET TODAY, SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY
I'M MOST PROUD OF MY TEAM AND THE EXECUTION
AND THE WAY WE WERE ABLE TO COLLABORATIVELY
AND COLLECTIVELY PULL OFF SUCH AN AMAZING MOTORCYCLE.
