My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

If they had rankings in baseball, maybe I would have been able to do the math and figure out my chances of being a professional baseball player versus a tennis player. But that was the decision-maker for me, I just thought I was better in tennis.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

Since I was in high school, I wanted to play professional football and professional baseball, be a two-sport star.
