People are fired up.

Really?

Yeah, this was a big deal.

I mean, they really captured the country, and then I think other people took notice, you know, and...

Ultimately, they're a very wealthy team.

Rogers is a big, big corporation.

So maybe they're also drinking their own Kool-Aid right now, but in a good way.

Like, okay, we saw the response to this.

Let's add to it.

Oh, it was great for me.

Ultimately, as I moved beyond my playing part of my baseball life, I mean, I...

i strongly believe that um say i hadn't been a major league player i mean i'd still be somewhere in baseball i could very well be running a team at this moment in a different timeline you know if i didn't uh if my career didn't pan out the way it did so for me it's all just good practice no matter what like and i'm not worried about people telling me no like that's okay i'm only so many no's away from a yes i don't know what that number is so

That's my perspective on things anyway, and if anything, it's great practice.

And it's just genuinely great to reconnect with an organization that is near and dear to my heart and people that I really think do care and just want to help out any way I can.

You know, I guess just...

Just kind of revisiting the ultimate challenge that is Coors Field and that is the unique challenges that exist for the ball club, the Rockies that don't exist other places.

Just revisiting it, getting back into that conversation, talking with other people who have been living it the last few years.

Just getting back into that and remembering...

how special it can be.

Just because things are hard doesn't mean they're not worth pursuing.
