I Love Being Out There On The

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.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

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.

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

A Major League Pitching Coach Is A Really Difficult Job. It Takes A Big Commitment In Terms Of Time, Travel And Workload.
