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 a food show.It's not just baseball people. It's a mixture of baseball people, actors, musicians, chefs and whatnot. They bring out different dishes, and at the end of the show, I give the one I like the most the "Fielder's choice." It's good TV.

I get to kind of pretend I'm going to play baseball. I get to work out and do all the stuff that was part of baseball. I just don't get to play.

I've always said, "You make a lot of money in Major League Baseball, and it's all guaranteed, so what do you have to lose by going all out?" .

My main goal now is waking up healthy every day and going on with life.

You don't need to have a perfect ending to be happy.
