Think of it as the ripples caused by a pebble thrown into a pond. They just haven't hit the shore yet,

You want to be the pebble in the pond that creates the ripple for change.

I think I've hit a couple off him. He's thrown more than one stupid pitch to me,

I could only hit balls thrown down at my feet.

Now, the gauntlet has been, I think, thrown down.

If you throw the pebble in the pond and the rings start circulating that much wider, you've done things and created things for people that they didn't think they'd ever be able to do. That excites me.
