Maintaining Concentration Depends On What I Call Tunnel Vision; Nothing Else In The World Exists But The Catcher's Target, The Hitter And My Perfect Delivery.

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.
