I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.

I had three jobs my junior and senior year of high school. I worked for the gas station and worked for a pizza place.

I tell people all the time that without the fans, I've got nothing.

There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

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

The most important to me is, Theo is a good person first and foremost. And I think that has a lot to do with it. He's not deceitful. He's an honest guy, a good guy. There's a lot more to this thing than it being a job for him, being born and raised here, the Red Sox being as important as they are to him. Above all else, Theo understands he's a compromiser. Theo understands that the clubhouse is our home. He doesn't invade that privacy often. When he does, he doesn't make you uncomfortable and that says as much about him as anything.

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