Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

Kind of both. So my dad, and I always tell the story when I talk, and I'm obviously a very humble person. I don't like to brag or do anything, but I think my story is pretty cool. My dad told me when I was 18 years old to stop playing baseball, go get a regular job. You're not good enough, you'll never make it. Now, when that comes from your dad as a kid, that hits hard.

No, I had not. I mean, you're right. It is crazy. I actually give lessons too here in town, and I had nothing. I mean, I maybe went to a couple of baseball camps, but I was always football, basketball, baseball. So I didn't have time to specialize in one sport.
