For me as a kid I just had um

There just wasn't like ability to

turn it into anything else or control it, just like a lot of I guess outpouring of of emotion you could call it.

Um I think it came from a lot of the same places that, you know, kind of keeps me going, it keeps me ticking now, but obviously shows up in a little bit of a different way.

But I think in in baseball too, you like you get applauded for

you know, showing up the same way and, you know, you play every day and you kinda get in that rhythm.

So um it's interesting 'cause then I think you can go kind of too far that way where you're a little bit robotic and like you can lose some of that like um

you know, high energy competition and and things like that.

So it was kinda interesting reflecting on that and just kind of different places the game puts you in.

yeah, I mean I mean neither of my parents were really

had any aspirations for their kid to be an athlete or expected that at all, which is probably why I actually enjoy what I do.

But um they yeah, there was definitely a certain point for my mom where she

She was kinda just coming to terms with that this is like this is what I'm gonna do for a really long time.

And that was different than probably the directions she saw for how our family would spend summers and things like that.

But um we're still on good terms.

I mean I was you know, catching and I think it was the last time I ever caught and uh

Uh I asked the umpire to scoop back, he wouldn't, and so instead of hitting the ball, the hitter just hit my hand.

So I broke my left hand, um, had a cast for you know a little fracture, you know, three weeks, month, whatever it is.

But uh in the meantime, I continued playing, uh which meant hitting with just my top hand.

So I was using a lighter bat than normal, but I was up there top hand.
