I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.

But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.

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

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.

I have always been an avid bike rider. Even before I became an avid bike rider, I was an avid bike stealer when I was a kid. I am very educated on bikes.

Growing up as a kid, the back of my house faced a little community airport about four or five miles from my house.
