Pitching in the big leagues is a dream. Preparing to pitch in the big leagues is a nightmare!
I feel very fortunate that I played for the four organizations I did.
What man in his 40s would not like to look in the mirror and find Nolan Ryan?
I am going to spend my time today just thanking the people that played a role in my career, because I truly do believe that I was blessed by a lot of people that paths crossed mine as I went down the road in my career.
My job is to give my team a chance to win.
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.
