I did enjoy football, but the injury factor for me, you know, I had so many issues. I don't know how long my career would've been.

I'm glad that I just played baseball, because I'm sure I had a much longer baseball career than I would've had a football career. I did miss football, but I didn't miss some of the injuries from football.

I have a love for Shea Stadium and its fans. I had so much fun with the fans. Yeah, they booed me. I was like, 'I know, I know.'

I wanted to go to college and play football.

I've been blessed to have a long career.

I had in mind a long career.
