In a world filled with hate, prejudice, and protest, I find that I too am filled with hate, prejudice, and protest.

I can honestly say it took two full years for me to get over the fact that I was no longer a baseball player.

I don’t know why I run so fast. I just run.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
