People ask me if my shoes were too small when I was a kid and I say it wouldnt matter how fight my shoes were, I just liked that feeling of them being in there. Thats how I started tapping my toes.

You can't hit without your hands.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

That's basically what I'm doing when I'm tapping them - getting my toes to the end of my shoes.

My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.

When I go home my mother still makes me take out the garbage.
