Transcript
00:01Especially in this country, baseball has often brought kind of joy to people in difficult times.
00:07I think of like 9-11 when baseball shut down.
00:11I was playing at the time.
00:12Baseball shut down for a week and then came back, and it was a unifying source for the country.
00:19So in that vein, I kind of hope that happens here.
00:23And I was here in 2023.
00:25The crowds were just as you described, very energetic.
00:28It was a playoff atmosphere.
00:31So I hope it does the same.
00:33Because, yeah, it's, you know, to put it, mildly interesting times right now.
00:39So I hope there is that kind of unifying joy that all these players, coaches, they're representing their heritage,
00:47but they all have one thing in common, and that's baseball.
00:51So I hope the fans enjoy it.
