And BC, you were locked in.

Like, no other option.

That works out well, I guess.

Who was the BC football coach then, do you know?

It's interesting because, you know, pulling... I joke about pulling the cord.

Like, anytime you're doing something... I just had a conversation with your teammate Brandon Sprout about Nolan McClain.

I mean, this is sort of the same, but, you know, he was pitching and hitting all the way to Delo.

And so to pull the cord on something, it's hard.

Can I tell you also, you've led me to one of my other favorite topics, which is not just specializing in one sport.

Obviously,

the preeminent guy when we talk about this is mike trout and i've talked to scouts about when drafted sure he might have slid a little bit he was a northeast guy um new jersey new jersey but he football basketball baseball didn't specialize was a first round pick but probably maybe would have gone higher but still what made him and you talked to him and he's very very adamant about to do all these other sports i mean you probably the same way right

I don't want to say use the word discouraging, or disheartening, but I really used to start disheartening because this is the way everything's going now.

I mean, starting, by the way, when kids are six years old.

It's like, hey, little Johnny, I see his TikTok or YouTube video.

We have to keep up and we have to play baseball 365 days.

I mean, is that... Yeah, no, it is.

Playing football and hockey in high school.

Yeah.

The burnout is a real thing.

Yeah.
