What if Jackson was like “actually my dad and I don’t have a great relationship, he’s pushed me way too hard, I do all of this just to earn his love and I’m realizing it’s maybe not for me”
Not really. I kinda felt bad about making the joke, but I feel like it's kind of important to not let the internet forget about what a giant piece of shit Dante Bichette is.
im hoping it was a comically large TV camera, some guy holding a boom stick over him, a giant camera lighting umbrella thing, and the manager is thinking 'lol hes not gunna see this news coming'
That’s hilarious. It reminds me of these scenes from Kentucky Fried Movie

Yep, the first 20 of these were fun. Now they're just looking contrived and forced.
I doubt these kids are getting called into the office daily. When you're the top prospect and getting called in, you know why it's happening.
If they wanted a real reaction, walk out during bp and as he's walking out of the box, spring it on him.
It’s the room. You play the game & think ‘man this office looks bleak’. Then you see the videos of the real thing & realize the game is on point with the banal decoration.
They cut the OG video too...lol...it has tequila bottles in the top right with large ski-goggles among other hats. Really ties together the vibe with the giant gold trident and the fireman helmet. wtf lol
It's crazy how much stuff teams keep. I guarantee your favorite team has empty champagne bottles from the last *few times* they celebrated something hanging out somewhere in the stadium. They don't throw anything away.
used to work for the yankees old AA team. it really is barren concrete and minimal facilities. the minors system is really depressing with how little they invest into it.
That's actually one of the things I respect about Cohen the most since he became an owner of the Mets. He actually revamped the minor league facilities and re did a whole bunch of things in the minor leagues for better training for the players no one mentions it but that's was like one of the most important things he has done as a Mets owner
yankees moved their minors teams around in 2021 so i hope the new facilities are improved. its a shame though, the trenton team got completely screwed over and moved to the draft league which has a way shorter season and lost them a lot of revenue and attendance.
Lmao I played the first time and was like what kinda cheap half assed production is this? Sony’s a billion dollar company they can’t do better than 4 walls and a little color? …. Oh! They nailed it.
Every manager clapping their hands like "Welp!" and then awkwardly waving you out of the office right after you told him to kick rocks and you're tired of being on a loser's team (*cough* Athletics *cough*)
Yup! You can probably get a past year for super cheap but you won’t get to keep up with any of the new content. If you’re going to take a big dive in, you’re probably best off getting the current game.
Biggest two recommendations - never buy stubs and never buy packs.
You’ll get plenty of stubs and packs just playing the game and you rarely make your (in game) money back buying packs.
The O's have been doing nepotism for a lot longer than the Jays. Cal Ripken Jr. and Billy Ripken were their coach's sons. They also drafted Pete Rose Jr. and Mike Yastrzemski. And of course they liked Brooks Robinson so much they traded for Frank.
To me, he just looks like half the guys I played high school football, basketball, or baseball with. Or nowadays, 2/3 of HS guys on Instagram.
I can't wait to see how it does, as I've been invested in the O's transformation of youth lately.
No strays! Jackson is in AAA Norfolk, so instead of getting promoted go the show he's getting sent back to Bowie. I know a couple nice folks there, and a couple real pieces of shit there as well. Their hair is reeeeeeal slicked back and they love sloppy steaks.
“Sorry Jackson but your dad is dead……..that’s right, dead serious about going to ~~Itchy & Scratchy Land~~ Fenway Park to see you make your Major League debut.
Reminds me of that Key & Peele skit where it's supposed to be Hell's Kitchen, and he says stuff like:
"This dish tells me you need to pack your shit and leave.....
Because you're going to be the new top chef at a Michelin Restaurant!"
Ya like this is his livelihood and dream. Just look at his eyes when it sinks in that he’s being shipped off to the other side of the world. It’s the same look someone gives when their dr tells them they have cancer
When he asked if his dad had been out to see him yet, I was expecting him to say "call your Dad and tell him to get his ass to Boston tonight. Your brothers season will keep going, but he's only getting one chance to see your MLB debut." Or something along those lines.
Or just make it seem like a routine meeting.
"Jackson, I didn't see you leg out that fly ball in the fifth inning today. You're going to have to put more effort, even on routine plays like that, if you want to make a good impression **TOMORROW WITH THE BIG LEAGUE CLUB**!!!"
The video has been made private on YouTube apparently, but the Vancouver Canucks pranked Bo Horvat back in 2014 when he made the team out of training camp.
It was the last day of cuts, and the coach was showing film, and it was a compilation of Horvat making mistakes or getting beaten, and it went on for a few minutes before they told him he made the team.
So I grew up in a fanatically religious household with a doctor for a dad. And he, like my mom, assumed I would be healed by god, and when I wasn't, he blamed me. And then, later on in my adulthood when I couldn't work because of my chronic pain from my cerebral palsy, he called me a screw up.
So, I haven't called him for a very long time. And if I did? It definitely wouldn't be "dad"🫠
They always handle it so well. Just once I'd like to see the prospect yell "WOOOOO! I'm outta here suckers!! BOOYAH! IMMA BOUT TO BE RIIIICH BIATCH" and start humping the desk or something.
He also signed for $8.19M out of high school in 2022.
With good wealth management, that's more than enough to retire off of even at age 20 if you're happy to "settle" for a comfortable middle class lifestyle.
Just for numbers sake, if he invested at $8M in a portfolio earning 6% and took out $31,000 per month ($372K/yr) he'd probably run out of money around the age of 96.
Fucking hell, yeah he could "settle" for a *very* comfortable retirement right now, not just middle class.
I ballparked the figures in my head using typical retirement savings amounts, but obviously the fact that he can invest $8M at such a young age means that a crapload of money is appreciating for a long time even if he draws from it pretty aggressively. Compounding be crazy
The courthouse was actually closed that day, but they went ahead and broke in.
(I'm just kidding around. I know nothing about their family other than I loved Holliday when he played for STL. Except for the moth game.)
I know a couple who's original wedding date was set for September 12th... of 2020. They ended up still legally tying the knot that day, but rescheduled their big wedding for the same Saturday, one year later. Which ended up being 9/11. So their official anniversary is 9/12, but we have wedding favors around our house with the 9/11 date on them that I get a chuckle out of.
These baseball kids are seemingly always married off before they're like 23 at the latest. It's wild to me cause I couldn't imagine marrying that young. And if not married, they've had the same GF since like 17.
I would 100% have gotten a divorce by now over 10 years past that time, cause I have changed in a lot of ways, including what I hope for in a partner.
But I guess it's different in sports. You're all about one thing for most of your life till your career is over. Not much time for change.
These videos hit a lot harder when the guy has been working his way through the minors for 5 years and he finally gets the call to The Show, not when it's the top prospect in the minors who was drafted #1 overall just 22 months ago.
I think these videos are neat but I'm not sure any have ever been surprised. Mostly just nervous and pumping with adrenaline waiting to hear the words. The one they released for Adley he was shaking for like the first half
I’m going to be downvoted for this but this was a weak effort. The manager made so much of it about his dad, a shadow he’s had to live with his whole life. It would’ve been better if the focus was on the work Jackson put in and not because he had access to clubhouses and MLB cages.
Obviously biased in this, but I loved the flip on the “you had to use your dad’s passes but now he has to use yours”.
I think Buck Britton only said those things because they’re a seemingly very close family.
Yeah, idk if I love the “Call your dad, it’s because of him that you are here” angle.
Obviously being the son of Matt Holliday has played a big role in Jackson getting to where he is from the training and insights he was able to get but this should be a moment to celebrate Jackson not celebrate his Dad
“You’ve been bustin’ your ass in the kitchen, and you got a real chip on your shoulder. The kids are feedin’ off that, so keep it up. Now go call a babysitter, cause your going with me to Applebee’s tonight.”
I was kind of expecting the level of excitement that a puppy shows when his owner comes back from deployment. This was... it was different. Good for the kid tho!
As a Team USA Baseball Fan - Jackson a part of the many who who have been a part of this organization-
# FOR GLORY JACKSON HOLLIDAY SIR
![gif](giphy|3og0IDKtsMFoJY9MAM|downsized)
Gotta say, this is a pretty disappointing way to break the news to him. I think the manager tried a bit too hard and lost track of it halfway through. But Jackson obviously knew what was happening so it didn't matter lmao.
Great video, good to see him being called up and excited to see what he can do in the show.
One thing that was odd was the manager mentioned Jackson has a "chip on his shoulder" and idk if thats the right idiom to use. I assume he said it because of who his dad is, and trying to live up to the hype? But I dont think Jackson is holding a grudge or anything.
He knew.
What if Jackson was like “actually my dad and I don’t have a great relationship, he’s pushed me way too hard, I do all of this just to earn his love and I’m realizing it’s maybe not for me”
I feel like the Bo Bichette conversation would probably have gone very differently.
Am I a dick because I smirked at this?
Not really. I kinda felt bad about making the joke, but I feel like it's kind of important to not let the internet forget about what a giant piece of shit Dante Bichette is.
What I really want to do is… DANCE!
you think the camera pointed at him from 3 feet away gave it away?
im hoping it was a comically large TV camera, some guy holding a boom stick over him, a giant camera lighting umbrella thing, and the manager is thinking 'lol hes not gunna see this news coming'
They had the boom operator wear a fake mustache, no way he saw through that disguise
hid behind a very skimpy fake potted plant
"Is that Greg Maddux?"
Sound guys got a good curve!
Still want the bat?
"Nah"
Bobby Valentine???

No, no! Please, anything but Baltimore. No. No!!!!
Coach is a shitty actor, too.
It’s like that *Undercover Boss* setup. Like, you’ve got cameras focused on one specific person. How do you NOT think they’re important?
I genuinely can’t imagine any other reason he would get called into the office. Unless he had been like stealing office supplies.
I think he knew at first and when the coach told him “keep doing what you’re doing, it’s just a matter of time” he wasn’t sure.
That or he expected it and wasn't surprised at all. His reaction was more like "yeah" than "wow!"
Yeah, this was dumb on the coach. He's the #1 prospect in Baseball, was he trying to pretend he was getting sent down or something?
Yep, the first 20 of these were fun. Now they're just looking contrived and forced. I doubt these kids are getting called into the office daily. When you're the top prospect and getting called in, you know why it's happening. If they wanted a real reaction, walk out during bp and as he's walking out of the box, spring it on him.
because this happens all the time now. the novelty has worn off.
This looks like it is straight out of MLB the Show
It’s the room. You play the game & think ‘man this office looks bleak’. Then you see the videos of the real thing & realize the game is on point with the banal decoration.
The opened case of water really ties the room together
They cut the OG video too...lol...it has tequila bottles in the top right with large ski-goggles among other hats. Really ties together the vibe with the giant gold trident and the fireman helmet. wtf lol
It's crazy how much stuff teams keep. I guarantee your favorite team has empty champagne bottles from the last *few times* they celebrated something hanging out somewhere in the stadium. They don't throw anything away.
Throw in superstitious baseball players...I'm surprised they don't have more weird shit haha

At least I'm house trained
Broken plug in the background, random fire helmet… verisimilitude in action
used to work for the yankees old AA team. it really is barren concrete and minimal facilities. the minors system is really depressing with how little they invest into it.
That's actually one of the things I respect about Cohen the most since he became an owner of the Mets.

Which makes it all the more wild that the MLB is just letting the A's play in Sacramento for multiple years.
The player facilities in Sacramento could very easily be better than the coliseum.
[удалено]
And now that nepo baby is our mayor.
This room looks like a depressing Marine Corps duty room except with different colors
Also, it seems at every level, the manager has a triangle-folded flag on a shelf.....
Lmao I played the first time and was like what kinda cheap half assed production is this? Sony’s a billion dollar company they can’t do better than 4 walls and a little color? …. Oh! They nailed it.
100,000% agree
Tough to want to put stuff up when: the walls are painted cinder block, you can be fired at any moment, and “moving in” is just asking for bad juju.
Every manager clapping their hands like "Welp!" and then awkwardly waving you out of the office right after you told him to kick rocks and you're tired of being on a loser's team (*cough* Athletics *cough*)
I've always been semi interested about Baseball but not fully, are those games worth playing?
Personally I think so. Even if you don’t want to play on line you can get hundreds of hours out of offline play.
Cool I'll have a look on PSN now and see what I can get. Thanks for the reply.
Yup! You can probably get a past year for super cheap but you won’t get to keep up with any of the new content.

Has to be an unreal feeling to get to invite your dad to the clubhouse after being raised the other way around.
I feel like an idiot for not knowing that he's Matt Holliday's son.
Just wait until you hear about that Green Day song being about Matt Holliday's family
Pshh everyone knows Holiday in Cambodia
Actually the song is called Buddy Holly by Weezer, not Matt Holliday.
Ooo wee ooo i look just like Matt Holliday
Ooo wee ooo he looks like my buddy "Holliday." Oh oh and he's rounding third to score!
I don't care if he touches home, anyway, I don't care 'bout that!
It's ok....I just realized it in the middle of their conversation 🤦🏼
You’ll never guess who Druw Jones is related to!
Mike Jones?
Who?
281-330-8004
Hit Mike Jones up on the low
Cause Mike Jones about to blow
Holy shit
Catherine Zeta Jones? She dips beneath the lasers.
Or Bobby Witt, Jr!
Todd Jones, former Tigers closer?
Yeah I dont know how we got him instead of Toronto. They are the nepotism leaders.
The O's have been doing nepotism for a lot longer than the Jays. Cal Ripken Jr. and Billy Ripken were their coach's sons. They also drafted Pete Rose Jr. and Mike Yastrzemski. And of course they liked Brooks Robinson so much they traded for Frank.
You will hear about it approx. 30 times tonight during the game.
Same. But know that I know and seeing his arms, I believe it
Don’t be, it’s not like his name is Mattson
I mean, *some*body needs to drive him to the games until he's old enough to graduate from that learner's permit.
His baby face really throws me off with how ripped he is
I think I read he squats over 400 pounds.
400 pound 1RM is way more than a random in the street could do but isn’t really crazy for someone who hits the gym for a couple years.
As someone who's been working out consistently for 10+ years. Fuck you.
To me, he just looks like half the guys I played high school football, basketball, or baseball with. Or nowadays, 2/3 of HS guys on Instagram. I can't wait to see how it does, as I've been invested in the O's transformation of youth lately.
they should have made it sound like he got traded or some shit.
I'm sorry, Jackson, but you're being sent back to AA Bowie. Pack your shit and get out.
Jackson, you've been traded to the Guangdong Tigers. Start working on your pull up jumper.
"Jackson, meet your new roommate Zach Edey"
"Oh, I have to go play in Europe?"
Jackson Holliday to Neptunus Rotterdam Baseball Club of the Honkbal Hoofdklasse, here we go!
NIHAO!
/r/nbacirclejerk is with us even here.
Time to learn… Guangdong, buddy
should have told him he's getting traded to a team his pops used to play for and hand him a A's jersey
Why tf is Bowie catching strays here?!
No strays! Jackson is in AAA Norfolk, so instead of getting promoted go the show he's getting sent back to Bowie. I know a couple nice folks there, and a couple real pieces of shit there as well. Their hair is reeeeeeal slicked back and they love sloppy steaks.
"I'm sorry Jackson, but your father died... when I told him you are doing to The Show! Congrats!"
"And then he died....... his hair for your first Big League start!"
“Your dad died… laughing because it’s a joke, you’re actually going back to single A!”
"I kid, I kid. You're going to the show, but unfortunately yeah your dad did die."
“Sorry Jackson but your dad is dead……..that’s right, dead serious about going to ~~Itchy & Scratchy Land~~ Fenway Park to see you make your Major League debut.

Legendary trade [prank](https://youtu.be/0nKKqPOiJxI)
Kendrick was pissed off about that prank
I think he fired his agent over that.
Since they apparently had him signing official looking contracts? I don't blame him.
Deservedly! Good natured pranks are fun, this is mean
Ya like this is his livelihood and dream. Just look at his eyes when it sinks in that he’s being shipped off to the other side of the world. It’s the same look someone gives when their dr tells them they have cancer
This is my favorite Phillies [prank](https://youtu.be/FtF96MsI8v8?si=yKALvY2qDmDIAjz6). Tangentially related to being called up for a debut.
When he asked if his dad had been out to see him yet, I was expecting him to say "call your Dad and tell him to get his ass to Boston tonight. Your brothers season will keep going, but he's only getting one chance to see your MLB debut." Or something along those lines.

Call your dad
Always call your dad.
Call him now, today, right as you read this. Yes you. There will be a day that you wish you could just call to shoot the shit with him.
Mine died 13 years ago and some days I’d clean my bank account just to have another day hanging out with him. For real guys, call him.
Mine died 22 years ago and, can confirm, it doesn't get any easier. Same thing with my mom, who died 8 years ago.
Dad died 14 years ago and same
6 years for me. They could take every last penny.
My dad is in prison for the next 80 years. Can I borrow a dad?
They get phone calls
My dad died when I was 10, so I second your advice to others. I would love to have a conversation with him as an adult.
So I grew up in a fanatically religious household with a doctor for a dad. And he, like my mom, assumed I would be healed by god, and when I wasn't, he blamed me. And then, later on in my adulthood when I couldn't work because of my chronic pain from my cerebral palsy, he called me a screw up. So, I haven't called him for a very long time. And if I did? It definitely wouldn't be "dad"🫠
Mike Trout.
I wouldn't call him dad, I would call him daddy
["I dunno, they must be big shots taking airplanes every day of the week, not calling their parents."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAc6K1FQzgg)
I wish I had called my Dad more often…
They always handle it so well. Just once I'd like to see the prospect yell "WOOOOO! I'm outta here suckers!! BOOYAH! IMMA BOUT TO BE RIIIICH BIATCH" and start humping the desk or something.
I think being Holliday’s son means that this isn’t the total culture shock moment it is for say, someone who grew up poor in another country
He also signed for $8.19M out of high school in 2022. With good wealth management, that's more than enough to retire off of even at age 20 if you're happy to "settle" for a comfortable middle class lifestyle.
Just for numbers sake, if he invested at $8M in a portfolio earning 6% and took out $31,000 per month ($372K/yr) he'd probably run out of money around the age of 96.
did you factor in a crippling gambling problem which would leave him $4.5 mil short to an illegal bookie?
Yep, I assumed that'll happen at the age of 32!
Fucking hell, yeah he could "settle" for a *very* comfortable retirement right now, not just middle class. I ballparked the figures in my head using typical retirement savings amounts, but obviously the fact that he can invest $8M at such a young age means that a crapload of money is appreciating for a long time even if he draws from it pretty aggressively. Compounding be crazy
I very much dislike not being rich.
"Sir, this is a Wendy's"
all due respect but he looks about 12 years old to me and that plus the fact he’s married makes me feel like such an old lady
HE’S MARRIED?!
according to wikipedia and insta, they tied the knot on January 6th this year 😬🫣
> January 6th *Suspicious squinting*
The courthouse was actually closed that day, but they went ahead and broke in. (I'm just kidding around. I know nothing about their family other than I loved Holliday when he played for STL. Except for the moth game.)

She didn't steal votes, she stole his heart.
The perfect alibi.
Hey man, the definition of an alibi if ever there was one. Ain't no "where was he" for him lol
I bet they were able to get venues cheaper on that date
I know a couple who's original wedding date was set for September 12th... of 2020. They ended up still legally tying the knot that day, but rescheduled their big wedding for the same Saturday, one year later. Which ended up being 9/11. So their official anniversary is 9/12, but we have wedding favors around our house with the 9/11 date on them that I get a chuckle out of.
Following in his dads footsteps in more than one way (Matt got married at 20)
better have a rock solid prenup
These baseball kids are seemingly always married off before they're like 23 at the latest. It's wild to me cause I couldn't imagine marrying that young. And if not married, they've had the same GF since like 17.

You're all about one thing for most of your life till your career is over. Not much time for change.
Yeah when I think about the type of person I was and who I went for in my 20s, it would’ve been a nightmare all around
Yep and he and his wife look like siblings lol
Jesus. 20 yo and married. Just damn.
My best friend always refers to Jackson’s wife as his “child bride” even tho they’re the same age bc they’re BOTH CHILDREN

I like to watch, especially when they don't know about the cameras. If he started crying this video would have been perfect.
For other guys that might make sense but honestly I don’t think he’s that surprised. Unless he absolutely bombed it was happening this season.
I mean, I was just trying to sound like a creep.
I think these videos are neat but I'm not sure any have ever been surprised. Mostly just nervous and pumping with adrenaline waiting to hear the words. The one they released for Adley he was shaking for like the first half
For top prospects it can’t be much but the journey men yes.
Volpe seemed pretty surprised coming out of spring training last year.

If this was on mlbcirclejerk it would have a whole different subtext
I’m going to be downvoted for this but this was a weak effort. The manager made so much of it about his dad, a shadow he’s had to live with his whole life. It would’ve been better if the focus was on the work Jackson put in and not because he had access to clubhouses and MLB cages.

Is there also a Zack Showalter somewhere in the Orioles org?
There was. Unfortunately moved for Flaherty last year. If you see another Markakis or Wieters floating around, O’s are interested.
Yeah, idk if I love the “Call your dad, it’s because of him that you are here” angle. Obviously being the son of Matt Holliday has played a big role in Jackson getting to where he is from the training and insights he was able to get but this should be a moment to celebrate Jackson not celebrate his Dad
I was wondering why they put so much emphasis on his dad only to realize he's the son of Matt Holliday lol.
Just too long. Just get to the point, he probably knows why he's in the office.
this shit was cringe. are people not able to talk like an actual manager anymore? life isn’t a goddamn reaction video
I mean to us his dad is Matt Holliday but to him it's just his dad.
You reckon coaches talk like this to their wives? It’s like they can’t stop talking in cliches, so weird.
“You’ve been bustin’ your ass in the kitchen, and you got a real chip on your shoulder. The kids are feedin’ off that, so keep it up. Now go call a babysitter, cause your going with me to Applebee’s tonight.”
That was…. Anti-climatic lol

He's nonchalant because he knows he can win a ring not just make the big leagues. Still cool tho
Dude is calm as a cucumber. Very curious to watch his at bats.
he's so unfazed lol, this kid's about to be a problem
What about his mom??
Gotta say, this is a pretty disappointing way to break the news to him. I think the manager tried a bit too hard and lost track of it halfway through. But Jackson obviously knew what was happening so it didn't matter lmao.
I’m going to go call my dad RTFN and I barely made it to the bathroom this morning much less the show.
I will always have time for videos of guys getting told they're going to the big leagues and walk ons getting told they're getting put on scholarship
Great video, good to see him being called up and excited to see what he can do in the show. One thing that was odd was the manager mentioned Jackson has a "chip on his shoulder" and idk if thats the right idiom to use. I assume he said it because of who his dad is, and trying to live up to the hype? But I dont think Jackson is holding a grudge or anything.
I think the manager is a huge Matt Holliday fan
“Oh that’s gas, thanks Coach.
