I thought the fans were really good to him“I appreciate that, the way they welcomed him back. They play the Welcome Back music, and he rewards everybody with a base hit. That would’ve been enough, just to get in the rhythm of things, but a couple really good picks on defense, the base hit to right, the walk at the end.”
