I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.

I always tried to watch the pitcher and his complete windup from the moment he had the ball in his glove all the way through his motion, and tried to follow it all the way out of his hand, all the way to home plate.

He might not have looked good in a baseball uniform, but he made that uniform look good on him.

I was set to go to Oregon to play college baseball and football.

I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.

When I did play, I tried to make the most of it.
