If you’re running around with a negative attitude all the time, you’re going to feel down; you’re going to have negative results.
People come up to me and say somebody in their family has cancer, and we appreciate what you do, and we appreciate your fight, and don’t give up, we love your attitude.

I’m a kid from the small Illinois town of Batavia, who grew up on the Chicago Cubs and made sports his life’s work, although there’s never been a day where it actually seemed like work.
I look forward to continuing my work on the sidelines for Turner Sports.
As a young boy, I had the usual hobbies – sports, baseball cards, model airplanes and trains. But I always had a distinct fascination with trains.
I was a big sports fan, and I had been closely monitoring Hank Aaron’s home run totals since I was a kid playing on the sandlot adjacent to the Foundry and Machine Company in Batavia, Illinois.

I think my demise has been prematurely reported. That’s what I think. I think I’m going take this and make medical history, and I really believe that.
Hope is not just… out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
I always see the glass half full. I see the beauty in others, and I see the hope for tomorrow. If we don’t have hope and faith, we have nothing.
