My favorite moment so far was definitely hearing about Freddy’s exploits in youth soccer in the DC area, specifically how within a matter of weeks he went from just playing pickup on the playground to starting for a local team and winning championships (and becoming a local legend in the process). Really excellent reporting, Grant, I’ve always enjoyed your work! -Myles
