Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm that old.
But the thing is, the thing is you got some work done.
I've had so many of them.
I remember Mel Stottlemeyer who had seven or eight opening day stars and four, four shutouts.
So opening day is wow.
My heart's pounding and it's pounding because I once remember talking to Sparky Anderson.
He had managed over 3,500 games at the time.
He was,
working with the Tigers at the time.
I went in for a pregame chat, and I said, Sparky, are you nervous?
He goes, yeah, I'm nervous.
Why are you nervous?
He goes, the day I'm not nervous is the day I quit.
I said, why?
He said, because it means I care.
So I think that little bit of nervousness, the anxiousness, means that you're passionate and that you care about the product.
And, hey, I'm on my way to Citi Field instead of going to some 9-to-5 job.
Like, who am I to complain, right?
