My friends couldn’t believe it. “You’re quitting?!” And I said, “Hey you guys, you’re still my friends, I love you, but get another outfielder.” I had to take that time I was spending on softball and invest it elsewhere. I didn’t have to completely change my whole life, I just needed to redirect ten hours a week. I could have taken it from family time or work time, but wherever I took it from, it was going to have to come from somewhere. That was the price.
