Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.
Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.

The first game was against Wake Forrest - I'll never forget that game.
Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
My favourite driver is always either the bad guy or the underdog.
I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.
I've always played with kids that were five, six, or seven years older than me.

I love going out and doing new things.
I always wanted to be a pilot.
I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just outrun everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
