The reason I am spending so much time on this is that I love scoring games. It really brings the whole experience together.

Oh, while I'm doing all the promotional stuff, after the games, whenever that is, Inside the Marlins is doing a Jack McKeon profile.

While that hasn't come to pass of yet, the exposé maybe a close substitute.
