Baseball Wasn't Easy For Me.

I Had Too Much Respect For The Game To Leave It Behind Or To Make It My Second Or Third Sport In College

I Learned A Lot In The Minor Leagues, Spending Six Years There. I Honed My Skills, As Far As Coaching Goes. I Was Able To Work With The Players In A Lot Of Facets Of The Game.

My Mom Was At Every Single Game I Played As A Kid, Rain Or Shine

There's Not Too Many Guys That Spend Their Whole Career With One Team And I Think It's Very Fortunate And A Blessing For Me

I Was Taught Coming Up In The Phillies Organization To Be Seen And Not Heard By People Like Pete Rose, My Hero Growing Up, And Players Like Mike Schmidt And Steve Carlton And Manny Trillo.
