And to me, that's when great things happen.

Becoming baseball analyst was really important for me to not just be one of the first, but to literally break open the door and come in and stay, so that we could start inviting our friends and everyone, like, Come on.

I put that pressure on myself on purpose, so I'd realize it's not just about me, it's about a whole gender.
