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

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.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

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

My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.

It's all about the attitude, gut, heart and determination to go out and give 120% every time to try and help the team win.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.
