I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.

I had one of my best years in 1991 I was 31. I made a renewed effort to work harder. I got better at my diet. I paid attention to how much sleep I got. I was always someone of routine. I became more strict.
