KEVIN would like to thank: My wife and daughter for always being with me and supporting me in everything I do; my parents for their love and support throughout my life and showing me that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to; and my co-authors Yuri, Nick, and Mark for inviting me along on this journey.

MARK would like to thank: My parents for being the most loving parents that anyone could have asked for. I would not be where I am today without them. I’d also like to thank my grandma, who I’ve been extremely lucky to have in my life for too many reasons to name. Thanks to my brother, who is always in my corner and the best fantasy baseball co-manager. Thanks to my girlfriend, who listened to me complain through the entire writing process and was way more supportive than I would have been. Thanks to all my coworkers over the years who have spent the time to help me improve in my career. I can never thank you all enough; and am hopeful that this book will help our readers, if even by a fraction of the amount that you all have helped me.
