In the process of research and writing my book, due out next spring, I stumbled on the following, super-long interview I did with Keith Hernandez back in 2008. It may have been conducted seven years ago, but it's still just as insightful. Check it out...
Matthew Cerrone: What kind of advice would you give to a player coming up, having to adjust to a different physical game, more advanced pitchers, dealing with the media, and so on?
Keith Hernandez: I think the biggest adjustment is coming out of high school or college and learning to play everyday, because it's your first years in organized ball.
