Reflecting on his own parenting experience, the 70-year-old sports legend confessed, “As a parent, I don’t remember having brought up our kids or being involved as much because I was hardly home. I do remember important things, but the day-to-day details were missed. Now I notice every little change. Almost every day, there’s something new.”
