I Have Far Too Many Skeletons In

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

It Really Gets Into Your System. All Baseball Players Have This Internal Clock Around February When It Starts To Kick In And The Juices Start To Flow. I Think Underestimated How Much I Was Going To Miss It.

I Love Being Out There On The Mound With The Ball In My Hand. I Can Control The Game. I'm Out There. No Clock - Nothing Happens Until I Throw That Thing. Nothing Happens. I Love That Feeling.

My Buddy David Wells Is A Big Motorcycle Guy, So When I Go Visit Him In San Diego, He Takes Me Out On His Bike. He's Got Some Antique Indians. I Never Really Rode During My Career, Because I Was Afraid I'd Fall Off And Ruin My Career.
