I think I had four concussions throughout my career that were diagnosed, and I guess that I've had seven more. But the fact that three of them came in a four month span when I was making a comeback in 2004 is a little bit scary.

I've had an alarming amount of concussions.

I broke my nose and got a concussion when I was 13.

I understand the seriousness of concussions.

The more studies that come out that talk about concussions and so forth, it makes me wonder. I wonder, more importantly than the stroke, the impact that concussions have had on my life, particularly as I get older.

I had post-traumatic amnesia, five-second memory, it happens as a result of brain injury.

I had concussions as a kid playing football and basketball, and know what it feels like and to have someone say 'Just rub some dirt on it, and get back in there.'

Luckily, I'm only aware of about two or three concussions that I have had, but there's really no way of telling how many overall.

I can honestly say it took two full years for me to get over the fact that I was no longer a baseball player.
