Well, back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade - that's all that we knew.

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

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

It is better to give a lick than receive one.

If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

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've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
