one forgive me Bruno I was just kidding I voted for number one well I I think that a guy that plays Big League ball now has to be a a man with a good education has to have a lot of poise and I thought although they all displayed this I like the way number one answered the question Peggy well I voted for number three and you know why cuz he was so polite I don't know hon what was your choice I voted for number three and I had a misgiving at the end when he he said well I agree with the other one number two there it seems like if it was him he wouldn't call the other guy number two he probably would though I voted for him I don't know Kitty well in view of my encyclopedic knowledge I voted for number one I don't watch those games but I do read the papers and I don't think it's Rosetti I think it's roselli Rosell it is it's Roselle well he said Rosetti it's [Applause] Ro all right let's clear it up once and for all and find out now dude which one is the right one whether or not the
