00:00As an organization, Infectious Rangers, we're really involved in helping the community and
00:05knowing about the hurricane, we knew that a lot of people get affected. So, you know, talking to
00:12Tawny Taylor and Karen Morris, they're in charge of our community or, you know, helping the
00:18community. And, you know, they brought me to this school where everything happens. So, I was like,
00:24for me, it was easy to jump in and help them and, you know, really glad they enjoyed the day today.
00:30What do you think when you see their reaction to all of this stuff?
00:33Oh, it's always awesome when you get free stuff. It's always good. I think that, you know, the
00:38most important thing in here is they will be able to, you know, to do something, you know,
00:43have a recreation time. A bunch of them, you know, you never know, they might end up playing
00:47with the Rangers, you know, in the near future. So, it's always good to maintain their dreams,
00:52their hope available for them to reach out. And, you know, as long as we can help them, I'm all in.
00:58I heard one girl say that, you know, softball was her passion and it just means everything.
01:03Yeah, I mean, I understand. I mean, believe me, coming from Venezuela,
01:07you know, sport is everything for me, for my family. It was the reason, you know, I'm here.
01:12I can help support all my family and I can, you know, support and help community and other people
01:17affected. So, this sport is amazing. It's a passion that you need to create in a bunch of,
01:22and all these kids have it. And, you know, it's always great to be part of, you know,
01:27let them continue to have that passion and follow their dreams and, you know, become great citizens.
01:33And they've honored you today, too.
01:34Yeah, yeah. They talked to me about it. I mean, if you can see around,
01:39you know, every player, you know, put a little bit of, you know, hard work and,
01:43you know, build the whole facility. And, you know, it's always good to be part, especially for me,
01:49being involved in this organization for so long. So, it's always great to, you know, help. I think
01:53helping, helping others is, everybody should do it. If you possibly can do it. And for me,
01:59it's, you know, it's always, you know, I don't need, I don't need to be asked. I'm always down
