Age is how you feel. If you take care of yourself, you'll be able to do the same things. You may not do it as often. But you can still do it.

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.

Sometimes I surprise my own damn self.

I don't know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it. I don't believe steroids can help eye-hand coordination and technically hit a baseball.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.
