Yeah, it's been amazing.

I can't imagine how many more people are even in support of me than I've encountered.

And so many people have reached out to me and just been so happy for me.

And I'm just feeling very grateful for the amount of support that I've been getting from Ireland, Slovakia, Canada, from my friends.

It's been amazing.

And yeah, I still pinch myself at night.

I can't believe that this is coming true.

So I'm very happy.

Yeah, Casey Candell, the manager, called me on my way from the field after a night game, and I was in the car, and he just calls me, and he was making that joke about the two burgers, and he's like, hey, I want to talk to you.

You've been stealing more burgers than you should have, and coaches don't get to eat.

I got that from him, and then he told me, he's like, by the way, congrats, you're going to be going to Detroit, and he told me it's going to be a possible activation, so nothing for sure, and I think that prepared me well to just go in there and kind of be ready for whatever needs to happen, and if I didn't get activated, I was just happy to be there and soak it all up, so the day one, I didn't get activated, and on day two, they told me that I will be, and yeah,

It was amazing.

I was very, very grateful again.

I talked to my family, talked to my fiance, and they came out to watch me in Detroit, which was amazing.

It was there, my parents' first MLB game ever, so they just soaked it all up as well.

So we all had a very cool moment there, and it was definitely a pinch-me moment where I just couldn't believe that it was happening.

Yeah, it was definitely nerve-wracking.

I didn't really get any sleep the night before, so I was somewhat tired throughout the day.

But as soon as that phone rang, it's like I just drank five Red Bulls in a row.

It was like I definitely didn't need anything after that.
