I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.

I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.

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.

I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

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

I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.

So, baseball is probably more physical of the two mentally.
