He gets a little bit too agitated. Yeah, it's not a joke to him. It was fun for them for a while and now it's not. And like, how do they adjust when it's fun? And I'm sure some of the guys were total dicks. I'm sure some of the guys weren't because that's just the way people are.

And in a lot of places, like, this is where the story ends, right? You can either do, like, some sort of weird movie version, which, thank God, they would not make today, but they might have made in, like, 1968, where Charlie Faust, you know, is hoisted on someone's shoulders after sliding into home. Right. You know, hey, Charlie, it's been a good season. Yeah, you make it narratively convenient.
