I'm a kid from Boston.

I was born to play baseball.

I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.

As soon as I would say I'm from Boston, people would just say, 'Naaaah!'

I grew up on the softball field. Every day I would take my glove and my bat with me.

I think that to fully appreciate baseball, it helps to have been born in the U.S.

Boston is actually the capital of the world. You didn't know that? We breed smart-ass, quippy, funny people. Not that I'm one of them. I just sorta sneaked in under the radar.

I'm a baseball freak.

Baseball is a tongue-tied kid from Georgia growing up to be an announcer and praising the Lord for showing him the way to Cooperstown. This is a game for America. Still a game for America, this baseball!
