When you're 47 years old and playing at a world-class level in the fastest sport, and you have zero percent body fat, you need to be brought down a peg as often as possible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The older you get, the easier it is to get injured. But what I've learned the hard way is that the more excess weight you have, the more likely you are to get injured doing everyday things.
Every time I am not playing, I am training harder to keep myself fit.
Even though I'm not a competitive athlete, I have to still maintain things and try to keep myself fit because I am at that age where I need to make sure to get those regular checkups and make sure everything is in tact.
I'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.
People have always challenged me. People told me I was going to get this big beer belly when I got done playing. But I work out six days a week, and when I turn 40, I'm going to still have that six pack.
When you get old and play every day like I did, it's hard. Hard on your body. You start to get sore. You gain weight. But that makes me work harder, be stronger in my mind, and show I can still play.
I always find sports-related ways to stay in shape.
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.
I've been fat since I was seven, and being fat sets you apart.
You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
