QUOTE : " The greatest feeling I get playing baseball right now is knowing that I can go out every fifth day and be a warrior for the Lord . I can go out behind the mound and crouch down and say my prayer and then be a aggresive , warrior-like pitcher, glorifying Hin in that sense. I'm sure a lot of people beleive in the Lord , but they're not committed to Him. Whether they're committed to Jesus Christ or not , it gonna be important to them before they die to make that decision . We're talking about eternal life...We're talking forever . "
