I'm tired of people questioning me because of my age. If you looked at my numbers and watched me throw and covered my birthdate, would age be an issue?

When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it's fun.

Chemo days make me tired, though it's hard to say that's because of the chemo when you have kids who have inherited their dad's usual energy level.

I've watched my peers get better with age and hoped that would happen with me.

That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.

People who say they're not nervous - I would be kind of curious to see how successful you are at what you do and how long you've done it. And what is success in your eyes? Have you separated yourself from everyone else in that craft? Or have you settled amongst the pack?
