I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

Don't run too fast through life. You only have one.

The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.

The only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

I think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.

Back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade-that's all that we knew. 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. I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it. You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.
