When I get married, it’ll be no secret.

I’ve been on a calendar, but I’ve never been on time.

I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
