Favorite Quote - By Chuck Carr, former major league player. I think he was playing for the Marlins when he was sent down to the minor leagues the day after disobeying the coach's take sign on a 2 and 0 count. When Carr was asked how he felt about being sent down to the minor leagues because of his actions, he said, " That ain't Chuckie's game,... Chuckie hacks on 2 and 0."
Best hitter in CVL? Too many to just pick one. Best pitcher in the CVL? Bruce, Stan, and Joe with a good arm.
Kimball business that I frequent the most - Kuechle Underground Inc.
Lumber of choice - Verdict is still out. Hopefully this year I'll settle in on one. If I had to choose now I would say I like the composite bat the best.
Likes / Dislikes about the wood bat coming back? I like it as I believe it is how baseball should be played... but I dislike the way my average and other stats have suffered.

Biggest baseball influence in my life - All my teammates and coaches along the way. You can learn a lot from a good coach, but it's all the little things you pick up from various players, coaches, friends, and even watching games that you can use to try to get an edge.
