When I entered the league, I realized how isolating this career can be if you’re not into the party scene or married with kids. I didn’t like sitting around the house alone, so I went to the shelter and adopted Millie. Gus came later, when I had a better handle on balancing my responsibilities. They help keep me sane when it feels like the world is up against me. They don’t care if the Stars win or lose, and it’s nice to be loved even if I make a mistake.”
