Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.

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

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

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

Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.

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

When you say you are a gamer and you are a celebrity or a former celebrity there's a grain of salt that everybody takes that with.
