I was always an MMO fan. I'm playing 'World of Warcraft' in the clubhouse, and J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp saw me playing. They came over and got interested, and they wound up creating accounts.
I'm a Republican. I'm a former Red Sox. I have a nasty habit of talking - a lot - about anything anyone asks me and totally unconcerned about giving you my opinion. You will never question where I stand - right or wrong, agree or disagree - on anything.
Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.
There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.
I had the perfect job for a gamer. From February to October, I'd get up at 7 in the morning with nothing to do but play games until I had to be at the park around 1 or 2 o'clock. When I got back after the game, I played until 3 or 4 in the morning.
In my 20 years of baseball, I've been misquoted three or four times, and for someone who talks as much as I do, that's incredible.
