It was always baseball for me. This is what I always wanted to do.
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love.
It was always fun for me, I loved baseball so darn much. By the hours I practiced, you'd have to say I was working a lot of hours, but it was pretty near tireless fun for me. I'd rather swing a bat than do anything else in the world.
Baseball is my life, the only thing I know and can talk about. My only interest.
When I was coming up, I just wanted to play baseball and I'm doing what I love to do most. How can I feel pressure doing what I love to do?
I would be lost without baseball. I don't think I could stand being away from it as long as I was alive.
Acting was something fun that my dad did, but baseball is what he really wanted to do.
Let someone else be the world's greatest actress. I'll be the world's greatest baseball fan.
Although playing baseball is my biggest passion, the help my foundation has been able to provide people over the years makes me very proud.
Baseball got into my blood early and I worked harder at it than anything.
Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.
