Thank You: Coach Rhodey, He has a really good understanding of what goes in a player's mind after an error or after making a great play, as he reminds us to still keep our heads in the game, no matter the circumstances. Knows what happens mentally for baseball players in a lot situations that other people don't tend to recognize until later on, and I want to thank him for being there for our team, in certain situations where we would usually have no one to turn to during the game.
