I'm like, is this really happening to me?

Yeah, well, Marshall, I didn't think for one second about keeping that ball.

I knew who was sitting in front of me.

I knew what had happened the year before.

I knew what that day represented.

And immediately, I mean, you could see it in the replay, and it always cracks me up because the story is definitely better that...

that Rizzo dropped down and he picked up the ball, but my man Boog Shambi is just trying to erase me from the whole sequence.

There was a little assist in between, but not for a second did I think about keeping the ball.

As I think back to it, that's the first ball I've ever gotten in my life.

I know, and I don't usually sit in the bleachers, but I knew this was going to be a special day.

But first ball ever, but not for a second.

Because, Marshall, I mean, if anything, I feel like I understood the moment.

And I've lived all these different moments together.

through all the years with this team and plenty of others in the past.

And I picked that ball up and I knew exactly where it was going and everybody just went nuts, which was really cool to kind of be in the middle of.

But, you know, it was it was pretty hilarious that all the texts that I kept getting were

Was that you behind Rizzo?

And I'm thinking to myself, yeah, I mean, I was behind Rizzo, but I handed him the ball and they're like, you did what?

And then the Cubs on their Instagram put out, they had David Ross mic'd up and then it was much clearer.

Like, okay, the ball fell down next to my foot.
