And, like, you know,
watching the way people reacted, casual fans in Seattle reacted to our run, our sport, is the coolest part about the playoffs.
The playoffs can galvanize people and change the way they view the game and the perception of whether baseball is boring or baseball fits this demographic or not this demographic.
I think cities can be electrified by following a team that captures their imagination.
You can make fans for a long time.
The players today are the best players ever.
They do things that no one else can do.
We watched Cal Raleigh hit 60 homers in the postseason, then hit homers in the postseason.

Baseball was awesome this postseason.
That's my takeaway, is that...
If you love baseball, this was a great showcase for you to explain why baseball is awesome.
I think in general, look at the teams that played in the postseason.
Just, like, those teams had the best players in the world.
Yeah.
And if you want to go compete in the postseason year after year, like –
You need a good, well-rounded team.
You also need dudes.
You need the best players in the world.
