It is better to give a lick than receive one.

When I was a kid, everybody in the neighborhood picked me to be the one in jail or be in the cemetery by the time I was 20.

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.

I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

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.

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