Im A Finesse Pitcher Without The Finesse.

I Like To Think Of The World's Greatest Athlete Coming Up To Bat Against Me - Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, I Don't Care Who It Is - And I'm Looking At Him Thinking, You Have No Chance.

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

We Played Hard And We Partied Hard. I'm Not Ashamed Of That. I Was No Angel - I Did Some Things I Shouldn't Have Done, Lived A Lifestyle I Shouldn't Have Lived. I Had A Blast At Times; Other Times, I Probably Compromised My Job, My Duty To Do My Job, To Be Ready As A Professional.

Part Of What Makes You Great As A Young Player Can Hurt You At The End Of Your Career, In Terms Of You Need A Certain Amount Of Ego, A Certain Amount Of Arrogance To Be Able To Play Well And To Push Yourself And Trick Yourself Into Thinking You're Better Than You Really Are.

I Love Being Out There On The Mound With The Ball In My Hand. I Can Control The Game. I'm Out There. No Clock - Nothing Happens Until I Throw That Thing. Nothing Happens. I Love That Feeling.
