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.

Anytime I can get in there, playing every now and then, and contribute some way, whether it's throwing out a guy or calling a good game or getting a hit and RBI, it's big.

Whenever you get traded out and you are playing for a winning team, it's always good.

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

It is exciting to have two sports teams close to where you live.

It's a good feeling to have people support you.

I grew up in a very culturally diverse area of America, and I am very proud to come from there. I am also proud that my inner circle of friends has never been defined by race but by the content of their character. Any former teammate or anyone who has met me can attest to this, and I pride myself on not being a judgmental person.

I grew up on the streets of Baltimore, a city I love to this very day.

I'm gonna miss playing for my hometown team. Living five minutes down the road.

It was always a dream of mine to play for the Orioles.

It's a dream come true. I get to play for my hometown team, the team I grew up rooting for.

I think it's awesome. Playing here in Baltimore is a dream come true for me.
