You remember the first one though. I ponder to myself that this could be my last couple of starts or the last one.

I ponder to myself, ... this could be my last couple of starts, or the last one. It was a real hard decision for me to continue to play because I felt I had touched just about every aspect of this game that I could. I never want to look back. I want to make sure that I put all my energy, all of my efforts into this game.

As a starter, if I were to look at this lineup here, ... you're always going to have one or two guys. But when you get three or four ... you're going to have to be coming in with it.

That is one job I don't want, just sitting out there all alone in the bullpen chewing gum and looking around. That is not a lot of fun. I'm just real happy that we are moving on.

When I look back at the tapes, your first everything, your first All-Star Game, your first playoff experience, it just seems like it went by really fast.

Going to Omaha for the College World Series - the people there are tremendous - huge crowds and a lot of excitement. I still remember those days - you make a lot of friends that you never forget when you win a championship like that.
