At Nighttime, You Just Try To Keep

I Think The Changeup Has Become More Popular Recently By Pitchers Like Pedro Martinez And The Success He Had With It.

This Is The Place To Be. Baseball Town. The Intimacy Of Fenway, The Toughness Of It. I Like That. I'm Used To It. I Need It. If I Went Somewhere Else, It Might Have Been A Bit Of A Letdown. I Like The Edge.

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

I Can't Remember A Major League Game Where I Could Make Eye Contact With My Dad. I Kept Wondering If He Was Going To Yell At Me For Hanging A Pitch Or Something.

We Played Hard And We Partied Hard. I'm Not Ashamed Of That. I Was No Angel - I Did Some Things I Shouldn't Have Done, Lived A Lifestyle I Shouldn't Have Lived. I Had A Blast At Times; Other Times, I Probably Compromised My Job, My Duty To Do My Job, To Be Ready As A Professional.
