I Have Far Too Many Skeletons In

It Really Gets Into Your System. All Baseball Players Have This Internal Clock Around February When It Starts To Kick In And The Juices Start To Flow. I Think Underestimated How Much I Was Going To Miss It.

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.

This Is The Place To Be. Baseball Town. The Intimacy Of Fenway, The Toughness Of It. I Like That. I'm Used To It. I Need It. If I Went Somewhere Else, It Might Have Been A Bit Of A Letdown. I Like The Edge.

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.
