Favorite place to play in CVL and why? Cold Spring - it is kept up well, and has lots of history and pride. The grandstand is an awesome backdrop.

Worst place to play in CVL and why? Pearl Lake - probably because of the lack of an outfield fence, the small dugouts and we never play very well there.

Favorite baseball player to watch growing up - Don Mattingly

Why I play amateur baseball - For the love of the game, competition, and to be with a great bunch of guys.

Most entertaining umpire in Central MN and why? Definitely Ceril Spanier, who will make a call whether he sees it or not. He may even stop in between innings and have a beer with you.

Favorite Quote - Stright from the mouth of Rodney the umpire - "You're out... and if you wern't - you shoulda benn!!"

Best hitter in the CVL - Joby McCann (Express not included)

Best pitcher in the CVL - Bruce Geislinger, Watkins (Express not included)

Kimball business that I frequent the most - Main Street Pub

Lumber of choice - Anything that will give me a hit.

Like/Dislikes about the wood bat coming back - As a pitcher and a purist, wood bats are great for the game. Defense and pitching are now a key.

Night or day games - Day games

Baseball superstition - When I pitch, I never step on the foul lines as I walk on/off the field.

Hobbies - Golf, watching movies, and coaching.

Biggest baseball influence in my life - My Babe Ruth coach Dave Burnitz - was a former Major League Scout. Taught us to think, practice, and play like a first-class team all the time.
