0:01
Yeah, I mean they announced it what a
0:03
year or two ago and I think we both had
0:05
it kind of circled that I I needed to
0:07
play well in 2025. Um so luckily I got
0:10
off to a good start. The last, you know,
0:12
few weeks haven't been that great, but
0:14
um it's always special coming back here.
0:16
I'm excited. My family got here a few
0:18
days ago. So, uh we're looking forward
0:20
to these next couple days here and
0:22
spending it. And you know, when you
0:23
spend so much time like I did here in
0:24
Atlanta, it's it's special. So, I got to
0:27
hang out with Snit a little bit earlier
0:28
and and talk with him and see all the
0:30
guys from the home clubhouse that I
0:31
haven't got to see over the last few
0:32
years. So, it's kind of been fun kind of
0:36
Yeah. I mean, I haven't thought about it
0:37
yet. Um I've been really worried about
0:39
just trying to hit the ball lately, but
0:42
now that I'm here, uh it's I think it's
0:44
going to be special. The last four
0:45
years, every time I've come back, the
0:47
fans, uh they've given me such great uh
0:49
uh standing ovations. So, I don't expect
0:52
anything. I'm just happy to be back and
0:54
play in front of these fans again. So,
0:56
if they give me one, believe me, I'll
0:57
take it all in. I think you guys know
0:59
whatever I feel on the field, I I let it
1:01
come out. So, we we'll see what happens
1:02
tomorrow. I think today it's more of,
1:04
you know, just kind of going to shag
1:06
with him out on the field and see all
1:08
the like walking in here, it's just I'm
1:10
used to seeing Dodger fans the last few
1:11
years and now it's all Atlanta fans.
1:13
And, uh, you know, I haven't really
1:15
thought about what it's going to be
1:16
like, but I think tomorrow we'll think
1:18
it'll be a little different feel. That's
1:20
what it's all about for me. This is um
1:22
my other two kids will be here for the
1:24
home run derby. So, he gets to come and
1:26
shag. So, we're going to be out there
1:27
shagging during BP today. That's what
1:29
it's all about for me. I I don't have
1:30
many more years left, so try and create
1:33
memories as much as we can. You know,
1:34
every time I come back, I try and
1:36
portray what Atlanta means to me. Um
1:38
it's special every time I come up, the
1:40
ovations they give me every time I come
1:41
back the last four years. So, uh I spent
1:44
a lot of wonderful years here, brought a
1:46
championship back here. So, uh, I'm
1:48
looking forward to, you know, today and
1:50
tomorrow, especially tomorrow, and
1:51
playing in front of these fans again
1:53
where they're not booing me the last
1:55
four years. So, I'm looking forward to
1:57
it. And, you know, I'm excited to be
1:59
back. My family's excited to be back.
2:00
So, it's going to be good.
