So I was always a UCLA fan when I was a young boy. So the opportunity to get a scholarship to come here and to play here was special. I can remember the first time I put the UCLA jersey on, I mean, that's what I thought of. I said, 'I'm wearing the jersey that Jackie Robinson wore.' And he was a second baseman and I was a second baseman.
