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

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

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

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

I wanted to play baseball!

I was a baseball fan myself, I wanted to play baseball.

I was a hyper kid, so I didn't want to play baseball and wait for the ball to come to me. I wanted to play a sport where I could go get the ball.

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

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.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.
