And I don't disagree with you, but also it's the players.
And I do feel like players and you, you have a good sense of this because you see it on social media.
I do sense players are protective of their brand, probably in baseball more than any other sport.
And it used to be, and now it's,
That's why you had the Players' Tribune, right?
And even well before this, this is going way back, Schilling had a blog, and everyone was like, oh my goodness, you have a blog?
And then Players' Tribune tried to do it.
Then you had social media, and now more and more social media.
But I do sense that baseball still, even with social media, even with people showing personalities, they're doing it almost begrudgingly, a little bit more than other sports.
So my question is,
What can baseball players do?
We talked about what baseball can do, but what can, from your perspective, baseball players do to advance this?
That's a great point by you.
It is like the whole, like, I can't screw this up.
And honestly –
Who did I just have this conversation with?
But I was like the media training thing.

I said, have you had the media training yet?
And I said, you know, they mean well.
