I like to hunt. After baseball, I'll go back and buy some land and do some farming.

I'm not a big city guy...there's too many people, there's too much traffic.

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful.

I can't try to throw 110 miles per hour. I've got to pitch under control.

You can either take it as a way to motivate yourself or be happy with what you've got.

I prided myself on working as hard as I could, trying to overcome a learning diability.

Now I know that I don't have to go after every batter with the hardest pitch I've got.
