I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.

I've always played for the acceptance of my godfather (Willie Mays) and father (Bobby Bonds).

Losing dad (Bobby Bonds) was the worst thing in the world.

It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

I like to be against the odds.
