I wanted to play baseball!

I wanted to play baseball ever since I was 5 years old.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

I always wanted to be a major-league baseball player.

Always wanted to be a Major League player. Loved baseball. Followed it. Loved to play. Plus, I could always hit.

I had an addiction to play baseball.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

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.

I was born to play baseball.
