Enjoying Success Requires The Ability To Adapt.

I Grew Up With The Thought That I Wanted To Treat People The Way I'd Like To Be Treated, And I Think If You Do That, It's Pretty Hard To Go Wrong.

It Took Me A While To Figure That Out And To Realize What A Gift That I Had Been Given. And When I Finally Did, I Dedicated Myself To Be The Best Pitcher I Possibly Could Be, For As Long As I Possibly Could Be.

I Always Thought That There Was Going To Be Life After Baseball, And So I Designed That In My Life I Would Have Other Interests After Baseball That I Would Be Able To Step Into. And I Didn't Realize The Grip That Baseball Had On Me And On My Family.

I Came Into The Game When I Broke Into The Major Leagues, The Minimum Salary Was Seven Thousand Dollars, And I'd Have To Go Home In The Wintertime And Get A Job.

Baseball Life Is A Tough Life On The Family.
