"When I was 10, I saw a couple of big league games, and I said, 'I want to do this the rest of my life,'" says Jason. "They had a plan, my parents. I appreciate that they did everything they could to get me in front of all the right people. But my dad said, 'Without you saying you wanted it, it wouldn't have happened.' Every year he asked, 'Do you still want to play baseball?' By my senior year I looked at him like he was stupid. And he said, 'All right. I will never ask you again.'" - Sportswriter Tom Verducci in Sports Illustrated (04/19/2010, Legend Before His Time)
