I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough. ↗

I wanted to become a champ - I was surrounded by champs in my family and in my neighborhood - and because of this stupid accident, I lost my opportunity. ↗

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people. ↗

I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph. ↗

I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right. ↗

I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing. ↗

My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid. ↗

We talked about many issues, like welfare, is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government, how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch, we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said, 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.' ↗

I registered Democrat because my parents did. They were, we were. There was no thinking behind it. ↗

I went to law school. And I became a prosecutor. I took on a specialty that very few choose to pursue. I prosecuted child abuse and child homicide cases. Cases that were truly gut-wrenching. But standing up for those kids, being their voice for justice was the honor of a lifetime. ↗
