I miss playing baseball. Just being able to swing the bat, or run, or dive for a ball, or slide into second. If I could even do that in a softball league, I would never miss anything about baseball. I don't miss the crowds or the travel or even being in the big leagues. I just miss being able to take batting practice and being able to swing as hard as I can. That's all I miss.

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

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

It's easier for me to accept that I can't play anymore because I literally gave it all I got. That allows me to be a little bit more at peace.

I'm still working out. It keeps me feeling good about things.

I'm just living a normal life - a regular life, as people would call it. I'm enjoying it.

Once I started getting multiple days off in a row, it was a long year for me. That had never happened, and everybody knew I didn't like it.
