Question for Mike.

I'm sure you watched some of the World Series if you had time.

You guys acknowledged that obviously the Blue Jays went from last to first and that illustrates it's possible.

Is there anything else from the way they played and against pretty high odds going into the series that you can take away the construction of the team or the manner in which they played and apply here?

The Blue Jays?

Right.

Well, it was impressive.

I mean, I watched the World Series.

It was an incredible, historic World Series with a couple of the best games that we've ever had.

And it was exciting to see.

And as David alluded to, I think it, honestly, I think it speaks to the strength of our division.

Everyone talks about the American League East.

gets a little tired after a while.

But we have five really good teams and really good organizations in this division right now.

And there's no one rebuilding.

Everybody's going for it.

And so we all kind of get into the cage match every year.

and see what happens.

And I thought it was a very talented team.
