I wrote sports for the Sagebrush and even did some play-by-play for KNEV 95.5 FM, which was the first FM station to do games for Nevada.

By now, I was supposed to be doing play-by-play for the Giants. I feel very fortunate. I have a fun job, I have fun hobbies. I even have a great wife and kids who talk to me.

You go through your options. In this case, the conclusion was that a sports facility is all it could be.

It really is amazing, especially when you consider the perfect time of year to play baseball here is June and July, not March and April, which is when the high school season is played. Our kids play under difficult circumstances sometimes. They have to be tough to play a doubleheader when it's 25 degrees outside. It's either get tough or get in the dugout. But I really believe that helps them when they get to the next level.

I'm into the Play Station now and I just got the Super Nintendo. I like the sports a lot, like hockey and football. I recently got into these solve-a-mystery games. They're like a bad drug. They just chuck two weeks out of your life.

I think that the best teams don't always just have the best players, but the players who play the best together.
