“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.”

“Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.”

“If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.”

“I listen to a lot of different stuff, from Mozart to Johnny Dowd to Monster Magnet. I don't listen to music while I'm writing a draft, but I do listen to it when I'm revising.”

“I'm a wide-open book. I talk to guys coming out in the draft every year. I'm a wide-open book. I'll give you my experiences. And I'll tell you what I went through. But I would never project on another player that you should do this or you should do that.”

“Really, what you should tell a novelist is, 'Keep going until you finish the draft. Don't show it to anyone.'”
