I approach spring training the same way every year.

I played outfield in high school a little bit.

Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.

Any time you can go out there and throw 12 pitches in any inning, you give your team some momentum coming in and get some confidence out on the mound.

I do believe that supporting our First Amendment rights and supporting local law enforcement are not mutually exclusive.
