Apparently, Owens feels his 2 sisters are better than him in their respective sports:
"Oh, my goodness, my sisters were way better. Way better," Owens
laughed. "They were the big thing in Miami. They were definitely the
pitchers in the family."
Owens on his "new" role as a pitcher:
"When I first showed up to Pirates camp, the pitching coach told me to
get on the mound and throw bullpen, I said, 'What am I
supposed to do? How am I suppose to stand on this thing?' I had no
idea. He said, 'What?' I said, 'I've never pitched before.' He was
like, 'Oh, my gosh.'
"I just felt at times, confused. I didn't know if that was what I really wanted. Was this lifestyle what I really wanted?"
I hear these stories and always wonder how a catcher or any position player couldn't have realized they had a ML caliber throwing arm. Regardless, if what Owens says of his sisters is true maybe the Mets should consider scouting them!
