I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don't like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

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 wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.

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

So, baseball is probably more physical of the two mentally.

If you have four years to complete your college education, do it.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

It is better to give a lick than receive one.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

I am my own person. What I'm doing, I'm happy with it. I'm doing what I want to.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

It is better to give a lick than receive one. If anybody got in my way, I tried to run right through them.
