This is the first time in my 32 years in public broadcasting that PBS has ordered up programs for ideological instead of journalistic reasons.

The first time you went to eBay, you probably didn't do a transaction.

The first time I ever played the trumpet in public, I played the Marine Hymn. I sounded terrible.

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.

For the first time I'm free to be myself.

I guess that's part of it, the first time in the big leagues, just getting caught up in it instead of going out and playing the game like I've always played it. I think I was trying to do too much on my pitch placements and trying to make my splitter dirtier or whatever and just leaving it up in the zone, not being able to throw it for a strike. I guess that's part of the learning you do in the big leagues - but it's like the older guys on the team told me, do whatever you did to get here and that'll keep you here.
