It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.

There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.

I had no other interests but baseball because I never thought I'd not make it. No. Never.

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

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

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

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

I played Little League baseball, but I also played basketball. Basketball was my primary sport. When you play basketball seriously, a lot of times, through the summer season, you continue playing. So that replaced me playing baseball.
