Quincy Carter | The Legacy of Quincy Carter: Football, Faith, and Community Impact

Well, the first thing I was buying was a Mercedes. But then Sharon Carter Embry was buying something else. Not that she was taking my money, but I wasn't about to spend all this money on a Mercedes. So I think we settled. What did I get? Eddie Bauer. Yeah, I'll never forget. I got the Eddie Bauer edition. You know, Eddie Bauer started making clothes, I think, also. So I had the jacket.

What was that, a Ford, I think? Heck. The Explorer. Yeah, the Explorer. There it is. The Explorer. And I got the Eddie Bauer edition. Yeah, heck yeah. But in my mind, like you were, I thought I was getting ready to get a Mercedes, but that wasn't happening. And my mom wanted me to be smart. Smart for her, for disciplining me.

Yeah, well, it was probably my first morning at practice, and it's rookie ball. So rookie ball is, you know, you think you're getting ready to come to the park and have a little batting practice and then play a game. But rookie ball work started at 730, you know, to about 11. And so that's fielding, that's outfield drills, that's base running, shoot, you name it.

I mean, well, fielding situations as far as having men on base, you know, hitting the ball in the gap where you're throwing the ball. Batting practice for an hour, you're hitting live pitching in the cage. And then you go have lunch, probably about 10.30 maybe, 10.30, 11. And then you're out on the field, you know, playing a game at 12 o'clock.

Okay. All right. Now, I got to tell the whole story, too, now. Yep. And that whole story was... You got a bag. Well, no. No. I'm still not going to tell on nobody. But the whole story is, though, Mick, Georgia was getting ready to be on probation or was already on probation. And I just didn't feel comfortable in possibly going to college and not being able to play in bowl games.
