The last few days have been unbelievable. I don’t have the words to properly express my thanks to @TreyMancini for the chance to share in his moment. Thanks to all who reached out and were rooting for us. I’ll remember every second of this experience for the rest of my life.

I’ve already seen some amazing things at the Naval Academy. I’m awed at the commitment of our Midshipmen and their daily pursuit of excellence. Celebrating in Bancroft with our Class of ‘24 as they received their service assignments has been the single best moment thus far.

The USNA is a very special place. I get to work with some of the most impressive young men that the world knows—-they chase excellence in every facet of their lives. Today I got a quick look into their world beyond baseball.

Whoever said strikeouts were boring was terribly wrong. Standing with @NDsoftball and punching out cancer one day at a time.

Saluting @PeteFrates3 today. A life well lived. It would take most people 10 lifetimes to achieve what he did in 34 years. His life’s work will positively impact the world for generations.

I have so many reasons to be proud of, and thankful for my wife and the relationship I have with @NDsoftball . but what they do on their strikeout cancer weekend is just special on another level. #GoIrishBeatCancer.

8 years ago today, I continued my life of giving up gopher balls and @TreyMancini took home the Big East homerun derby crown. And the big man still has an awful lot of homeruns left to hit!.#F16HT

If playoff baseball has taught me anything. It's that pitchers are RBI machines.

Been married for 5 years. At our wedding we had people fill out these discs. Most wished us luck, happiness, etc. Noticed this literally for the first time this morning, and I couldn’t agree more.

How many times will you ever see non Alabama football fans universally praising something Alabama does. ?. It happened today, and my goodness, what a story, lesson, and moment it was. Tip of the cap to you, Mr. Hurts.

I’ve seen Night Moves performed live 3 times. never by Seger. First, we heckled some guy at the Celtic Cottage in Jersey. Second was the band at my wedding. Third was Garth Brooks at ND stadium. Does it ever get old? Nope.

Everybody is going to remember the homerun. but the play Baez made to end the game was a lot harder than it looked.
