I could remember thinking when I met him, 'Wow, that's Andy Sanders from Houston. He's really good.' And he tells me he said, 'Wow, that's Jimmy Walker. He hits it really far.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was in Seattle, I listened to Carlos Guillen and other older players.
I first saw Arnold Palmer when I was just a kid and he came to Columbus to play in a tournament. I watched him on the driving range hit balls that day. We went on to become great friends.
I always tried to be Mark McGwire and hit homers like he did. I was kind of following his race, too, when he was trying to break the record.
I feel very close to Maryann Plunkett and Jay O. Sanders.
I was playing in the league when Ray Guy was playing in the league. He was the best kicker I've ever seen. He could bullet that ball 70 yards.
My all-time favorite rock and roll players were Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry and Franny Beecher, and I listened to the country playing of Merle Travis.
Shawn Kemp was the player that I grew up watching, when he was with the SuperSonics.
I speak very highly of Jim Thome. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great individual.
Well, I'm a huge fan of Ryan Adams, who's from North Carolina. And he's beginning to break really quite big.
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
