The game is choreographed; it is mental, it is physical, it is a battle. People can feel those hits when they are in the stadium, you feel them and you see the velocity of the players.

Where I came from, sports were the only way to get out front.

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

Pressure just makes you go a little more. I kind of like pressure.

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn't below .450, and that's pretty good hitting where I come from.

Something's been guiding me around throughout my life.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.
