Whether whether I should show up and be there for guys or if I should just like sit back and shut up because they're doing the work and I'm not like trying to kind of walk that line.

It was really special to the team.

Let me stay and be there considering I had like.

I don't know.

12 innings on the year I don't even know if it was that yeah but listen I mean you're part of you're part of the team man like come on right but like but think about like think about like this just how grateful I felt for it like all the guys that threw just a few innings that might have gotten you know hurt or DFA'd or optioned or whatever the case is and they were either sitting back at home or sitting in Arizona and not getting the opportunity to be there like I didn't feel deserving of that but not feeling deserving and still getting to be there I was really grateful for it you know

um and then on top of that my son's canadian so getting to do it in toronto and him getting to be there that was really cool for me so a lot of things made that one more special than it seemed even though i didn't get to play um i didn't get the same like like rush yeah that i got the first one but it was just like it was just like i was overwhelmed with gratitude like

How good is God that I get to be standing here right now in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity twice?

You know what I mean?

It was sick, man.

I was really grateful for both of them, but both very different experiences for me.

I was.

So, funny story.

We were actually, it's funny now.

It wasn't funny then.

We were actually planning on leaving before the parade.

We loaded up my wife's Suburban and my truck.

And we were going to get on the road.

we go to get in the car, we lost our key.

Couldn't find the key to our car.

Just couldn't find it.
