What inspired Quincy Carter to pursue sports?
Talk to us a little bit about baseball, what that meant for you and what it was like, man, just to get drafted professional sports out of high school.
Yeah, that was a pretty cool experience. You know, first it all started with me at Gresham Park and playing, you know, alongside the likes of the Travis Strouds of the world and some other great players, you know, that I played along with. And so that's where my, you know, competitive baseball started at. In your mind, what was the first thing you were buying? Well, the first thing I was buying was a Mercedes. But then Sharon Carter Embry was buying something else.
What is 18, 17-year-old Quincy, the first time you report to the Cubs, man? Like, walk us through when you realize, oh, this is what grown people do.
Yeah, well, it was probably my first morning at practice. And it's rookie ball.
Before baseball, you give a verbal to Georgia Tech and then baseball is over and you don't go to Georgia Tech. How did that come through?
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 ballgames.

Hey, it's all you, man. Quincy, this is when I'm honored. You know, I told you when we met face to face, like how much I've always looked up to you, how much, you know, like even my family. Right. Like we're a Georgia football family and had an uncle trying Jackson to play at Georgia. So we bleed red and black, bro. And I'm going to say this, you know, I always tell David Pollak, he's my favorite Georgia Bulldog defensive player of all times. And it's you and Garrison Hurst, my top two on offense, man.

So I'd love to talk about just your journey of young Quincy, right?
Getting into high school, because that's a story that most people don't know. So I'd love for you to share that moment, brother.
Yeah, you know, man, born in Chicago. For a lot of people that don't know, I was actually born in Bloomington and went to Chicago right out of the hospital. And then me and my mom moved down here to Atlanta, Decatur area, about, you know, when I was about three or four years old. But yeah, Mick, man, life was, to me, it was humbling, you know, coming down here from Chicago. As a kid, I thought I had everything I wanted. You know what I mean? We didn't grow up in the nicest of neighborhoods. My mom don't like to tell me exactly exactly. My neighborhood, so honor mom on that. But it was humbling. Grew up at the Recreation Park. Nick, I was a kid that got dropped off at Gresham Park, did all my homework there. And that's where my competitive nature started, you know?
