First league game today went 5 for 5 and hit for the cycle with 13 total bases and a bomb. It’s great to be back.

Denver, you showed up. From signing the vaunted Tattered Cover guest book (always gives a chill) to a night of deep questions, meaningful conversation, and a few moments with my dad and the Book TV crew — it was a night I won’t forget.
