I was a professional baseball player from the time I was drafted out of high school in 1981 until the time I retired in 2003.

I like to think of the world's greatest athlete coming up to bat against me - Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, I don't care who it is - and I'm looking at him thinking, you have no chance.

I have a future and I have a mind and I have things to look forward to,' but to me it's just about..I love to pitch so much.

We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties. I've really been amazed by some of the data that's out there, especially with regards to tendencies of hitters, and certainly tendencies of pitchers as well. I would have loved to have gotten that data when I played.

I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it.

I love being out there on the mound with the ball in my hand. I can control the game. I'm out there. No clock - nothing happens until I throw that thing. Nothing happens. I love that feeling.

I have far too many skeletons in my closet to think about any sort of serious mention of public office.
