I Have Far Too Many Skeletons In

I Can't Remember A Major League Game Where I Could Make Eye Contact With My Dad. I Kept Wondering If He Was Going To Yell At Me For Hanging A Pitch Or Something.

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.

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.

My Buddy David Wells Is A Big Motorcycle Guy, So When I Go Visit Him In San Diego, He Takes Me Out On His Bike. He's Got Some Antique Indians. I Never Really Rode During My Career, Because I Was Afraid I'd Fall Off And Ruin My Career.

I Think I Rushed And I Needed More Time With My Comeback. I Needed More Time To Get My Legs Stronger To Be Able To Handle The Workload. You Can Only Train For That By Pitching Innings. You Can't Simulate Pitching Off A Mound In A Game Inside A Weight Room.
