I Love Going Out And

I Am My Own Person. What I'm Doing, I'm Happy With It. I'm Doing What I Want To.

I Was A Pitcher, Shortstop And Outfielder, And The Yankees Tried To Sign Me Out Of High School As A First-round Draft Pick In 1981. I Turned Them Down To Go To College.

I Taught Myself How To Pole Vault In One Day. The Next Day I Entered A Meet To Pole Vault And Won It All For The State Of Alabama.

I Struck Out With Two Men On Base. I Was So Angry, So Frustrated, I Turned And Without Even Thinking About It, Snapped My Bat Over My Thigh. The Bat Split Right In Half. Afterward, Reporters Asked Me If It Was The First Time I'd Ever Broken A Bat Over My Thigh. "i Broke An Aluminum Bat Over My Knee In College," I Said. (i Was Just Kidding).

My Workout Was Running Down Fly Balls, Stealing A Base, Or Running For My Life On The Football Field.
