Yankees advertisers make ‘Seinfeld’ jokes while Jason Alexander takes the bump

Worlds collided Sunday in the Bronx when New York Yankees faced an Astros Houston launcher named Jason Alexander.

The irony, of course, is that the actor by the name of Jason Alexander played the assistant of the team “Assistant to the Travelling Secretary” in the successful program, “Seinfeld”.

Thus, while Alexander, the launcher, warmed up, the advertiser of the Yankees, Michael Kay, and his color commentator, the former Yankee and the guest of Seinfeld Paul O’Neill, reported on Alexandre, using lines in the series.

The notes on the screening report were: “It’s not you, it is me” like a nod to Alexander not knowing that he launched Sunday until the day before, “the sea was angry” to note its output without goal against the Marlins of Miami, and “the worlds are collided” because of the obvious nature of the circumstances.

O’Neill said that the Yankees give a Bobblehead George Costanza on August 21.

Alexander has actually taken an offer without cut in the sixth round – he was the winning launcher of Houston’s 7-1 victory.

O’Neill appeared in the episode “The Wink” in season 7 as one of the many Yankees to be on the successful series throughout his domination in the 1990s. It is the one where Kramer (played by Michael Richards) promises a boy in the hospital that he would get the right field player to reach two circuits in a match in order to try to recover a birthday card, signed by members Yankees, which he had sold.

The former voltiper said during the broadcast he still obtains residues – last year, he said that they were “like 57 dollars”, but in his last check, he said that he had cracked the mileb of $ 100.

“They must play (the episodes) more,” joked O’Neill.

“It is not a long time. It is a good reminder, however, that you were in the series. It’s a bit cool,” he said last year.

In addition to O’Neill, the players of the Yankees Derek Jet, Bernie Williams and Danny Tartabull and the manager Buck Showalter also appeared in the series, while a double blow was used for Steinbrenner, which was expressed by the co-creator Larry David. The real Steinbrenner has filmed a scene that has never been used, but it has never been as open as the false to its error in Jay Buhner’s trade for Ken Phelps.

O’Neill had 15 multi-homes games in his career, in particular by hitting three dingers on August 31, 1995 (the fictitious game of the “Seinfeld” episode was not one of them, because an apparent home run was governed a triple and he scored on an error).

The Yankees withdrew his n ° 21 in 2022. The Latroy Hawkins launcher carried it in 2008, seven years after the retirement of O’Neill, but was hué because of this, which left him unofficially retired until he was finally honored in Monument Park.

O’Neill played for Yankees from 1993 to 2001, after spending his previous eight seasons with the Cincinnati Reds.
