Aw, c’mon guys, I don’t want to talk about this, especially with you.  All you care about is ruining my career……I’m not answering that question……Let’s talk about Ponds instead.

Ponds are great.  I use them as part of my off-season training.  A pool or pond will work, but a pond is good for me.  I like to drag some bleachers in front of the pond and hit balls over them and into the water.  It helps me practice hitting balls out of AT&T Park and into McCovey Cove.  Some days I invite the press to sit in the bleachers and then work on my line drives.  So, kids, if you want to hit home runs like me, start practicing in front of a pond, it will help motivate you to swing for the fences.  If you don’t have a pond, just strap a bulldozer bucket to your chest and do some wind sprints to dig one out, this will help keep you legs in shape as well.  That’s what I do when I am traveling and there are no ponds around.  If you can find a pond near a farm, you also get the reward of going for a nice cool-down swim after your workout, and the chemical run-off from the farms will help keep your body from losing muscle mass. 

But I am tired now and my family is tired.  You guys keep asking me about ponds and you finally broke me…..you win….that’s how I feel about ponds.  Now go find someone else to bother, I’m not answering anymore pond questions.
