But it's, but I think that ultimately when somebody says something about that hits home and I'll give you an example where, uh,
When we were doing our book, Damn Near Perfect Game, and we asked Manfred and asked Rob Lowe and asked Mark Hoppus, said, tell me about your love of baseball.
And they were different, but there were some similarities, like the first time when you walk into a big league park.
Like, oh, the greens are never green and the whites are never whiter, that sort of thing.
And then there is the lessons that you learn.
And you probably drew upon conversations and people you covered, right?
I mean, well-known people.
No, it's great.
It's moments like that.
And for us, I guess we ask that question a lot, like why isn't baseball boring?
Why baseball isn't boring?
And the great thing is that you get a million different answers from every major league or minor league, whatever it is.
But that's sort of what your guys are talking about, which is, and a lot of the answers, by the way, Ken, is exactly this, like because it's life, because it's life.
Like baseball, it sounds like so cliche, but baseball is life.
I mean, this book helps articulate that, I would imagine, right?
But I think that that's another good example is that like I could see a player sitting in his locker reading this book, digesting the book, getting value from the book.
And I can see a mother or a parent at a little league game reading this book.
Because once again, there's so many elements where it's all tied together.
And a cliche question, Ken, is, all right, what are some of the ones that hit for you?
And by the way, that's organized awesome.
