I don't go to bed every night worried about getting back into baseball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.
When you are away from the game and busy with other areas, you realize that the world does not revolve around baseball.
You've got to play every game until it's over. Baseball is a funny game, so you never know what's going to happen.
There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.
After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.
It's just so much fun to relax and just play baseball for a living. It's a great time in my life. I'm never going to forget it, and it's very humbling.
My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.
Finally, for all of us but a lucky few, the dream of playing big-time baseball is relinquished so we can get on with grown-up things.
When I got out of baseball, I got all the way out. I might watch a World Series game or something.
Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.
