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.
In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.
Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.
Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.
I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.
