Yeah.
Now it's like – now guys flip the bats when they're behind 10-0 in a regular season game.
Yeah.
It's got 10,000 people in the stands.
It's like now everybody loves it.
You know, remember the old, the commission came out and said, let the boys play.
Okay.
Well, this is what you get.
I'll go back real quick.
We dropped the first two at home, and we lost Brett Cecil, who arguably was the top reliever in the game at that time.
He's top two or three.
He blew his calf out covering first base.
So we were kind of in a pinch.
But anyway, we go down two games, nothing.
So we're going down to Texas.
And I can remember, you know, David Price came up to me and said, listen, when Cecil got hurt, he said, I can pitch you out of the bullpen for you.
I said, and, you know, Price, I think he had 220 innings under his belt.
He's a free agent.
He ended up with you guys up there in Boston at the end of the season.
And I couldn't believe it.
