The Word 'potential' Used To

When I Was Younger And Inexperienced, I Was A Very Animated Pitcher. I Pitched With A Lot Of Adrenaline. I Was My Own Worst Enemy When Things Weren't Gong Well.

Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Wayne Gretzky, A Pitcher Just Before A Game, I Would Imagine They All Have Nervous Energy. But As You Perform, The Nervous Energy Dissipates And You Start To Relax And You Start To Do What You Do Best.

It's Hard To Mix With A Crowd When You're Walking Down The Hallway And Everybody Else Is A Foot Shorter. I Remember Hanging Out With My Friends, Like At The Mall, And Thinking People Were Staring At Me And Talking About Me. It Made Me Turn Inside Myself. I Became More Shy And Quiet.

Greg Maddux Is Probably The Best Pitcher In All Of Baseball Along With Roger Clemens. He's Much More Intelligent Than I Am Because He Doesn't Have A 95 Or 98 Mph Fastball. I Would Tell Any Pitcher Who Wants To Be Successful To Watch Him, Because He's The True Definition Of A Pitcher.

Any Time I've Taken The Mound, It's Always Been The Old Samson-and-goliath Story Written About Me.
