Woohoo! Welcome to the Summer Work All Play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today.

Yeah, we're here in Boulder. It's a little snowy. We actually just had a couple llamas walk by.

It's pretty exciting times.

And to go in a horse, we've got the whole menagerie out here.

A menagerie.

And we are stepping up the vocab. That must be like, there must be coffee running through your veins.

a famous baseball player, so many great things to talk about with Adrian Beltray.

But what's coolest about that to me is that when he first came up when he was 18 years old,

so he came up as a superstar young kid, he wasn't like that at all.

He hit his first majorly hit and got to second base and didn't even break a smile.

And it kind of coincided with when his performance wasn't that great either.

And you know, kind of what we're going to get into a lot in this episode is like that play element.

And as he embraced that, he also found his stride as a baseball player.

I love that. Well, this is also, I haven't done a lot of baseball reading.

It's fun to read about.

But as I was reading about Adrian Beltray, I just, there were so many jokes.

I can't, I don't understand how a baseball, it's like normal to say things like,

he makes plays in the hole.
