I transitioned from being a high school first baseman to a college pitcher
because my sorry hiney couldn't take that 90 feet from home plate to first
base after a slow roller to the infield without being thrown out as I passed
the opposing dugout. Ptichers ain't gotta BE fast, just gotta THROW fast.
Or throw junk that weaves its way from the mound to the plate via goosey
routes. Tha's me.

I shunned all marathon talk because I was a sprinter at heart - albeit a
very, very slow sprinter.
