    First at bat, just gonna hit a home run, bringing home a former NL MVP, then get a high-five from Freddy, Kershaw and the boys in the dugout, no biggie.

    He has a really nice family. Happy for them and especially James. He had a great numbers in AA and AAA. I'm a Yankee fan and we have Anthony Volpe in the minors and he's the future SS, only a year away and still really young. Cool homerun. Weather was great in Denver from what I saw.
