This journey started about 42 years ago in a little town of Brunswick, Georgia.

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

A swing is like a car. You've got the fan belt, carburetor, pistons, spark plugs, fuel pump. If any part isn't working, the car doesn't run. Same way with hitting.
