I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

I stick to safe, controlled movement. If it's not safe, I just won't do it.

Honestly, right now, I don't want to be around baseball. Not that I don't like it. But I'm having fun right here, hanging around my family and watching my kids' games.

It was pretty hard to actually have to say the words with my teammates, my wife and my boys there. I realized it was going to happen before that day [I announce retirement], but to have to announce it and talk about in front of a lot of people was tougher than I expected. I'm glad that feeling has kind of gone away. That sadness hasn't lingered.

I thought it might be a cool thing [food show] to do when I retired a few years later. Then retirement came slightly prematurely.

I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

If I could even do that [playing] in a softball league, I would never miss anything about baseball.
