I had slumps that lasted into the winter.

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

The highlight of my baseball career came in Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium when I saw a fan fall out of the upper deck. When he got up and walked away, the crowd booed.

They have Easter egg hunts in Philadelphia, and if the kids don't find the eggs, they get booed.

I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn't appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.
