‧ Who had the biggest impact on your career?
             "My brother Kirk. He was always better than me. He is a year and
              a half older. We were also playing together. We'd play catch,
              we'd hit. He was always faster and stronger. He gave me an early
              incentive to work hard and make myself better."
