Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.
I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. "I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college," I said. (I was just kidding).
So, baseball is probably more physical of the two mentally.
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.
I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.
Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.
In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.
