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

I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.

I wanted to be a professional 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.

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

You see a hockey player, you'd never know he's a professional athlete. But you put the skates on him, and he becomes a beast.
