I've been playing games for 30 years, and I've been a hard-core gamer.

I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.

I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'

I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.

Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.

More often than not, what you open, unwrap and install on your hard drive is not what you were told you were getting.

The bigger the game the better. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I feed off big crowds and noise.
