I'm on an exercise bike, bored, so here are some things about my baseball career that come to mind...... — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I went into almost every start the last few years thinking... How the hell am I gonna get these guys out — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 There's was atleast 3-4 times I thought the team plane was gonna crash. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I would count out the days about a month in advance to see if I was gonna pitch in Coors field. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 One of my favorite moment ever was hitting a homer off Chris carpenter. I took my time running the bases. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I gave up 11 runs in Toronto and got the win one time. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I had to take Imodium most days I pitched to plug myself up. 💩 — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 My only superstition was to make sure I had 2 glasses of wine the night before I pitched. This ties in with the Imodium, — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I gave up so many homers cause I didn't wanna walk people. That and cause I threw 85 mph meatballs sometimes. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 Why the hell did Bj Upton hit so many homers off me..... This probably ties into the last tweet as well. I did much better facing Melvin — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 I only hit like 5-7 people on purpose. — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 My threat to retire didn't quite work last offseason — dan haren (@ithrow88) January 4, 2016 Sometimes when the count was 3-1, I would just throw it down the middle and hope for the best.

He earned three All-Star selections, finished in the top seven in Cy Young voting twice and won 153 games. Haren clearly saved his best contribution for last, though, as Monday's self-assessment on Twitter was absolutely awesome.
