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.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. "I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college," I said. (I was just kidding).

I taught myself how to pole vault in one day. The next day I entered a meet to pole vault and won it all for the state of Alabama.

Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

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.

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.
