00:00It has been a great start, but it really felt good to come for the team right there.
00:04Again, I was just trying to put together a quality of bat in that spot where we're trying to just
00:08keep the line moving.
00:10I was able to do that, and it was a really cool moment for me.
00:14It was definitely cool to hear the crowd be really loud.
00:18When I hit it, I thought it was a double.
00:19The only time I knew it was a home run, I saw how it was kind of celebrating.
00:24And then it kind of sank in, and it was cool to take in that scene.
00:27And I was kind of joking with somebody that I kind of killed the rally, so it's a good thing
00:31we had Vargi right behind me.
00:33He was able to keep it going, get right back on base, and we were able to keep the line
00:36moving.
00:37At the end of the series, Mexico kind of held up their end of the bargain as far as the
00:42setting, the facilities, the weather.
00:45How do you interpret that?
00:48Yeah, it's been great all week.
00:50I've never been here before, and I was talking with some coaches and teammates earlier in the week
00:54about how too many great things about playing baseball are the people that you meet
00:57and the places you get to go, the experiences you get to have.
01:00And this is one that I won't forget.
01:01And the crowd was great.
01:03The people were great.
01:03There was unbelievable hospitality.
01:05So it was a really, really unbelievable experience, and something I'm very grateful that I got to be a part
01:10of it.
01:11And what my approach was, I just wanted to be on time for the heater and hit something hard.
01:15And, again, try and keep the line moving.
01:19In that at-bat, the pitcher has a lot of pressure right there, and, you know, we were down five
01:23runs at that point.
01:23So I wasn't thinking hit a homer.
01:26I was thinking let's keep the line moving.
01:27Let's have a quality at-bat and be on time for the heater and was able to do that,
01:31and it just happened to go over the fence.
01:33And like I said earlier, when Vargie is able to get right back on base, that's even bigger for the
01:36team
01:37because it keeps that momentum going, and we keep that inning rolling.
01:40Thank you.
