| Before I came to know Jesus Christ, baseball was everything to me. From the time I was a child and on into my early years as a major league ball player, my time, energy and satisfaction in life centered on baseball. My performance on the field determined how I felt about myself. Although I had heard about Jesus Christ, I had no place for him in my life. |

| In 1994 while traveling on an airplane, I was listening to a group of my teammates talk about eternity and life after death. A couple of them talked about their assurance of going to heaven when they died because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Their confidence made an impact on me and I realized that I was uncertain of my own eternal destiny. As the plan descended for landing, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
While baseball is still very important to me and I work very hard at it, my relationship with Christ and the beautiful family God has blessed me with take a higher priority. In fact, putting Christ first in my life has made me a better man, husband, father and baseball player.
