Kids are our future, and we hope baseball has given them some idea of what it is to live together and how we can get along, whether you be black or white.
I don't look backwards. I'm pleasantly surprised, and I feel really proud of the team and what we were able to accomplish together. But really, where I'm focused is the future and where Nest is going.
