He began his college baseball career at Longview Community College before transferring as a third baseman to Central Missouri. He converted to pitching at Central Missouri but, after one year, could not afford to attend the school and transferred back to Longview. After attending a tryout camp, he accepted an offer to play at Emporia State. In the summer of 1989, he signed with the Kansas City Royals and began a professional baseball career.[1]
