""And I just wanna say thank you to them. When Kay and I were watching the World Series, we noticed that there was 51 on Louis Varland's hat. I immediately texted Gus Varland, his brother, and I asked him if I was seeing that correctly. He texted me back right away, and he said, 'the Varlands love you, dude. The whole Toronto bullpen has it too, it's bigger than baseball, we love y'all.'""
""And I just wanna say thank you to them. And Kay and I, yeah, we were very emotional. We were super overwhelmed with emotion, and the baseball, the community, the relationships that you make along the way, it showed that it's much bigger than baseball. The outpouring of love and support, Kay and I, I've had over the past few months has been unmatched.""
