I got off the school bus every day at the driving range. I'd hit balls and goof around all day out there. I picked up balls by hand every night. That was my job.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I threw a lot of balls and walked a lot of batters. Not something I'm proud of, but something I learned from.
I could always hit. I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.
While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
You know, when I was a young boy I used to play baseball in my back yard or in the street with my brothers or the neighborhood kids. We used broken bats and plastic golf balls and played for hours and hours.
I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
When I was about 16, I got my ball taken off me by the police for playing in the street - which is pathetic really.
I probably hit 35 balls into the right-field bleachers.
I grew up on the softball field. Every day I would take my glove and my bat with me.
I could hit the damn ball. No matter who was throwing. Or where the ball was. I left the bench swinging. I didn't get many walks.
I've tried my very best to keep all the balls in the air and be home.
