Andrew Jones

First of all, I would say thank you.

It's a great honor.

I want to thank all the voters that vote for me that make this possible.

And I want to thank my family for all the support that has supported me.

You know, I want to say thank you to Atlanta Braves that gave me the opportunity to chase a dream that I always wanted to do and all the other teams that I play for.

Thank you very much.

I mean, I mean, the day was awesome.

You know, I got a chance to come out here in Dominican, probably play a great golf tournament with, um, you know, pools and, um, uh, see why that, uh, hosts is, uh, a Ryder cup golf tournament with, with, with all those, those X major league baseball player and, um, go out there and, and, and have fun.

We had a, we had a good time.

Um,

And that's what I did.

I got up.

I played against Jamie Rollins.

I ended up beating him in a one-on-one tournament.

And after that, that's what it.

We got done, and I got a chance to go to my room.

We ate lunch.

I got into my room, and I kind of settled down a little bit, and I...

I started realizing, I say, you know, I think this might be a moment that this might happen.

But, you know, I started thinking about my dad that passed away in 2016 that, you know, that meant so much to me in my career, you know, through my minor league and my major league career.
