Becoming a Major League ballplayer for Dwight and me, that was the dream.
Dwight is Dwight Gooden. Most people know him for winning the Cy Young Award. To me, though, heโs family, an uncle, but at four years older, really a brother. I can still remember those games of catch with Dwight in the backyard: him rearing back, and me somehow getting my mitt up to stop one of his fireballs. Often the two of us would sit with Grandpa (Dwightโs dad), and heโd tell us how hard it would be to make our dream come true, how just playing our best wouldnโt be enough.
Heโd talk about โinside power.โ
At the time, I didnโt really understand what Grandpa was driving at. But I do now. After twenty years in the โbigsโ and seven Major League teams, I understand. When I landed with my first team, Milwaukee, I thought being a ballplayer was about hitting home runs. Iโve always been good at that. It took me longer to learn that โthe gameโ as itโs played at the Major League level with millions on the line and the cameras always turned in your direction asks far more of you.
If youโre a go-along guy, it can be great. Iโve just found that too often โgoing alongโ gets in the way of being a man. I love this game. Love the feel of the bat in my hand, the grass under my feet, the shouts of encouragement as I step into the box. I draw strength from the fans and play my heart out for them.
I just wish those who control the game had more respect for the guys doing the playing.
What I want to do in this book is show you what itโs been like taking this strange, wonderful, sometimes immensely frustrating life journey. โMalcontentโ . . . โgreedyโ . . . โselfishโ Iโve had plenty of adjectives lobbed my way, and believe me, theyโve stung. There are a lot of stories to tell from a life lived on and off the field: some sweet, others horrific. Everything from soaking up Little League glory to nearly being shot to death, from learning the startling truth of how I came by my last name to playing with and for characters like A-Rod, Jeter, Lasorda, Leyland, and Torre. And, yeah, Iโll finally set the record straight about a guy named Steinbrenner and a guy named Bonds.
Itโs a story Grandpa would want me to tell. Itโs a story I need to tell.
