War Is By No Means Something Glamorous,

Before I Pitch Any Game, From Spring Training To Game 7 Of The World Series, I'm Scared To Death.

Most Guys Who Don't Like Me Are Either Democrats Or Yankee Fans.

I've Been Able To Do What I Love And What I'm Passionate About My Entire Life. I Made, You Know, An Insane Amount Of Money Playing Baseball.

The Things I Was Allowed To Experience, The People I Was Able To Call Friends, Teammates, Mentors, Coaches And Opponents, The Travel, All Of It, Are Far More Than Anything I Ever Thought Possible In My Lifetime.

I Was A Very Weird Amalgam Of Things As A Kid.
