You know, when my brother was playing with the Braves, the minor leagues, I went a few games watching spring training.
But in Vero Beach, I really pay attention on him.
And people don't, like, how shallow he plays.
I'm like, oh, God, why he play so shallow?
But, you know, it don't matter, man.
he read the ball so well off the bat that, you know, like he just put his head down and then next thing you know, he put his head and just catch, just a routine play, like an unbelievable play.
He make it such a routine.
So that's to me is- Was he your guy?
My favorite player was Fred McGriff growing up.
But this is what I got to say about Andrew, man.
Andrew make me believe.
It make all of us believe that,
Reason why, because we love the game so much.
And when we find out that we have a Curacao kid named Andrew Jones,
came in the big leagues, you know, got his first hit in Philly, then hit his homer, do like the NLCS against the Cardinals was amazing.
And then the two homers that he hit, one of Pettit in the World Series, to me, that's our belief.
And he set the tone.
He paved the way for all of us.
Now, like from Curacao, I was playing in the league.
