I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

Growing up, I actually wanted to be a professional baseball player instead of a radio DJ. Believe it or not.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player.

I always wanted to be a major-league baseball player.

I was a professional baseball player from the time I was drafted out of high school in 1981 until the time I retired in 2003.
