the red sox, it was the last day the regular season, the red sox were hopes leslie out of contention, 17 games or so. but the reason baseball was focused on that park on that afternoon is ted williams, in his third season as a major leaguer had a chance to become the first 400 hitter in the american league since 1923. now ted could have aet out. the red sox were scheduled to play a doubleheader that, he could have sat out because his battering average was 0. 3 nine nine five plus, which in baseball they would've rounded up to 400. but ted was not going to back into it, he insisted on playing and he wound up getting six hits and eight at bats that doubleheader and wound up with a batting average of 406 and remains the last player going on 80 years to hit over 400. but on that same day, there were other prying eyes 5000 miles away in hawaii,, were japanese spies were casing pearl harbor for places, targets to bomb. and two months later, the world and certainly the world of baseball would be turned upside down. now, the president at the time, roosevelt, already had determined that americ

but what to do with last year's manny ramirez hall of fame bobble is up to the red sox adam grossman.se bobbleheads labeled 2020. they feature all-time greats and current players likely to be given away this year, even if the packaging is dated. do you lean toward giving them out even if the guy is not on your team right now? >> it's case by case, and we fortunate that we did not have that challenge this year. but there are times where you know, there's, they don't see the light of day. >> i can just imagine the bobblehead collectors salivating to get ahold of the bobblehead calls that no one have seen or may never see. >> reporter: this bobblehead backlog could mean a massive memorabilia home run. >> getting your hands on the bobblehead that was never distributed is the holy grail, that's the crown jewel of the collection. >> reporter: the pirates sent boxes of his bobblehead so he did his own give away. sending 50 to fans that donated to his project 34-charity supporting those with spinal chord injuries, they went quicker than his fastball, gone in under an hour. trevor is still wai

the over/under is 9 1/2, tom, we're expecting big things offensively from the red sox this year.re coming off of a somewhat mediocre season last year but i think we've upgraded our staff and our squad. and, you know, baseball in spring is always an exciting combination. i'm really excited we're having fans at fenway park. i know you mentioned that we only have 12% capacity but we haven't had fans at fenway park in 18 months i'm excited about opening day. >> yeah, you know trending, lot of people say they couldn't sleep last night it's always a great thing. and, you know, the baseball season was played last year but it will be great to get back to hopefully 162 games, and -- are there still seven-inning double headers, tom is that still going to happen? >> that was a great idea putting someone on second base is that not a great idea in an extra innings game >> i think we've made some improvements to the content of the game and i think we're going to continue to make more improvements but i'm a big fan of seven inning double headers, and obviously i'm concerned about pace of play,

we watched the red sox. a difficult weekend.lt for me was driving through boston. the city is abandoned. we mock them for good reason, many of the things that ron desantis says. he seems to be trying to, quote, own the libs, with every statement he makes. at the same time, you go to the other extreme. charlie baker and the state of massachusetts, i'm telling you, it's like going back ten months. almost all the buildings were shut down. almost all the restaurants were shut down. a lot of the schools are shut down. there is a happy medium between there and -- with a mental health care crisis exploding the way it is right now and every mental health provider i talk to says, we are now at a tipping point. charlie, i know, like me, we are conservatives, but we have been urging caution through this pandemic. i think the caution goes to the other side. people need to start opening up. we have one out of three americans at least partially vaccinated. 4 million americans got vaccinated on saturday. deaths and hospitalizations are plungin

[laughter] i did the baseball talk because we've been doing soccer. for those of you in america, this is a ginormous story. jonathan: is it 6-47 ball for the red sox? did i get that right? tom: that's right. we know based on history it's -- lisa: can i say something about the baseball story i find really interesting? it is actually a debt story. yes, it is all about the finances. but the big teams joining the super league are all highly indebted after the pandemic really ravaged their finances, which might have lit a fire under these tensions which have been brewing for a long time. tom: you're dead on. a great chart on this. the tots go out. they built a brand-new palace. they haven't won since time began. so are they saying we have to do this or we sell the team? jonathan: they are saying we've got to do this tuesday stronger. i'm not advocating for either side of this. this one hasn't finished. there is way more still to come from this debate playing out for the world sports -- the

to slip in the red sox win as a question, well done.om: such a rare occurrence when you find the opportunity, you go there quickly. i want to talk about the bond markets. it is the reason ferro is off. is there issuance out there? his high yields getting it done? lisa: absolutely. if you take a look at the price action, it is up. if you take a look at that extra yield over benchmark rates for high-yield bonds, we were talking about that yesterday, the lowest level since 2007, it is even lower now. it is below three percentage points, a huge decline from a year ago. it raises the question, what is the nature of risk in an era where we have fiscal stimulus and monetary stimulus pumping at the same time and a recovery. risk is not being too cautious. too cautious has led you with losses. that happened with the investment-grade bond complex. tom: i'm sorry, but lisa brings up too cautious, not that i would know anything about that, but i am looking -- i've got it up wrong right now. riley, stop the show. dow jones, up 48%, one year trailing

no, i'm watching red sox get it done. padres are just dying.onathan: how are you watching baseball? tom: i'm watching some baseball. i'm watching national league ball. am sort of in a traditionalist mode. jonathan: gina martin adams going us now, bloomberg intelligence chief equity strategist. we won't talk about anything we just talked about for the last five minutes or so. we will talk about this equity market, still on the cyclical side of things in the airlines, and the small caps. what is your take on things? gina: i think a lot of this is simply low vol stocks cut cyclically over trade. low volatility sucks just got completely left out for the last year. we are more oversold than we have ever seen in our records, and are actually trading in line with the index on valuations, which is a complete oddity for the last decade. so i think what is happening broadly in the market, given we are only down about 1% for the s&p 500, is really a story of rotation and not a story of a market selloff. at this time, you got to the point where small caps

we are at nine in a row, is that right, for the red sox? tom: do you understand the difference between american league and national league ball? jonathan: do you thing i have a clue, really? i go to the games sometimes. tom: in the national league, the pitcher bats. much more importantly, they advanced the runabout bunting. on radio, folks, i am doing the bunting with the bat. they played national league ball last night. jonathan: thank you for that. i just need the yankees need to knock you back quickly. tom: very impressive. jonathan: mark howard with bnp paribas joins us now. let's talk expectations. have we seen peak expectations for this economy? mark: domestically, i think you are right. i think there is a concern at least in the near term. as tom rightly highlights, we are in uncharted territory. there are a lot of unknowns, and we are getting that since from the company's as they report -- from the companies as they report. a lot of the results we have seen already have been around markets. as lisa has pointed out, net interest marg

he knows phillies 3-0, red sox 0-3. do they get the infrastructure bill to a philadelphia phillies-like bang up job? kevin: good morning, tom. appreciate that introduction. what an amazing intro. kidding aside, it is going to be a tough haul for democrats. they are going to be targeting mayors, targeting governors in red states to try to get the roads in the bridges portion of this stimulus bill. beyond that, candidly it is a nonstarter to have tax hikes and whatnot, and republicans aren't going to go for that. tom: do they have the power to ram it through? kevin: no. they can do a piecemeal approach that would be targeted, and i think they will get some bipartisan support on this. there are areas of this that i think ultimately will be tacked onto defense reauthorization bills. others will be tacked onto some legislative vehicles pertaining to foreign policy. the idea that there's going to be a rubberstamp bill is incredibly unlikely. lisa: what does infrastructure mean? kevin: it depends on which party you ask. i thin
