Put the right pitching mechanics together with good health, and there's nothing surprising about lasting a long time.

Everyone has limits. You just have to learn what your own limits are and deal with them accordingly.

And to play as long as I did and to have a family you have to be very blessed and I was with my wife Ruth. Ruth, I appreciate the job you did, and my three fine children, Reid, Reese, and Wendy.

I guess that's what Little League is all about -- trying.

And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.
