In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.
Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.
I was raised to understand and know the difference between right and wrong.
The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.
