I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field – to enhance their physical appearance.
I guarantee you that’s what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.
I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.
