I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.

I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.

I was always an Alabama fan growing up, but when the Alabama recruiter told me I would probably not be able to play until the end of my sophomore year, or the beginning of my junior year.

So, baseball is probably more physical of the two mentally.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
