But I'll tell you this: When I lose my athleticism, it's time to go.
I take pride in the fact that I am 38 and I'm still playing, and not just cashing a check. I'm playing and I'm still athletic and I can run around and do the things I like to do. And hopefully I'll turn 40 and still be doing it. That's a hell of an achievement as far as I'm concerned.
It's nice to have a situation where you can make it fun.
It's possible, but I'm not going to rule anything out. But if that ends up being my last play, it wouldn't be bad.
My arm feels great. I can make all the throws. I've never done anything different, and I still feel like I can play like I always have.
That's the way I like it because there's no time to have nerves about it. You just run out and do it.
The day I retire is the day I'll feel old. I'm not there yet.
