Happy to be retired, Mussina doesn’t miss playing

記者: Moose你會不會想念在大聯盟的生活?

Moose: 不會。我喜歡不用再拎著行李箱漂泊半年的生活。
       雖然從球場退休了，我比以前更忙。我的孩子還小，有更多的責任在身。

Moose迷: 哭哭 Q Q


Mike Mussina went out on his terms and he hasn’t looked back.

The 270-game winner sat down in the press conference room at Yankee Stadium
for about 20 minutes on Thursday with reporters, brought in to make the
ceremonial first toss of the season for his former team, and – even as he
enters his third season of retirement – Mussina doesn’t hesitate to call it
like he sees it.

Mussina was asked if, on any level, he misses the day-to-day life of playing
Major League Baseball. It would have been easy for Mussina to simply answer,
sure, and I think everyone would have accepted that.

But Mussina offered an answer that provides a better window into what it’s
like behind the scenes as a big league player, and it was interesting to hear
from that perspective, spoken so truthfully. Asked if he wishes, in any way,
that he would have kept going after his 20-win season in 2008, Mussina
replied:

“I’ve got to be honest – no, I don’t miss it. I know what these guys have
been doing for the last couple of months in Florida, I know what they were
doing for the couple of months before they went to Florida in preparation for
all this. Today is the first day of a six-month-plus haul that takes you all
over the country at all kinds of hours – flights, buses, hotels, rain
delays, bad food, whatever you can think of.

“I know what it’s about. To not have to get up and do laundry the first day
of a homestand so I can be ready for the last day when I have to pack, to not
have to live out of my suitcase half of the six months, you can just slow the
pace down. It’s really a welcome change after, shoot, counting going to
college, 20 years of doing it the other way. Eventually you just tell
yourself it’s time to do something different. I’m really enjoying doing
something different.

“Everybody says this and you don’t know how it’s possible – how can you
be busier when you’re retired? I’m busier than when I played. There’s so
many things that have to get done in a day. I still have kids that are 12 and
under, and there’s a lot to do, a lot to take care of. A lot of
responsibility and a lot of coaching. It’s great. I don’t have one day
where I don’t lay down when the day is over and take the deepest sigh, ‘OK,
I made it through another day, let’s go get some rest and do it again
tomorrow.’ It’s great.”
