The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.

Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field.

But I would say basically, I would just like to be remembered for what I did on the field.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

It (the slider) just rolls off of your index finger and begins it's spin which will take it down and across the plate (hopefully). Just remember not to twist your elbow or wrist. It should be thrown, with the wrist and grip set, just like your fastball, slightly off center - with the same velocity and intensity.

I took it personal. I got slammed quite a bit.
