Strickland, who went to college at Nebraska, was selected by the Marlins in the 31st round of the 1992 free-agent draft.
Strickland was asked whether he was kicking himself for leaving baseball now that the Marlins are in the World Series, thinking that he might possibly have had the opportunity to be there also.
Strickland, who says he watches baseball more now during the playoffs than during the regular season, was asked why he turned to basketball.
