Best Part Of Playing Amateur Baseball: families at the ballpark, unique ballparks in the area, hanging out with guys who love the game - America's Game

Greatest Baseball Game of All-Time: Any game over the last 25 years that qualified us to go "The Show"

Favorite Bob Fink Moment: clutch hits and home runs this man has had in his career, but the best may still be yet to come - to be in the same lineup with his son, Alex - maybe every dad's dream?!?

Thoughts on Ryan Sturm Getting A Real Job: you may not all know, but he had two real jobs, that baseball job, and he also helps me coach the 7th grade girls basketball team as they try to qualify for the state tourney.

Favorite Ballpark To Play At: The short drive over the bridge - Riverside Park

Should A Pitcher Ever Be Allowed To Catch A Pop-Up? Only if they are a quality pitcher

Parting Thoughts: Has anyone seen Riverside Park in 2010? New sod, tar, and signs - WOW! Thanks to MB for all his behind-the-scenes work! I never dreamt I'd coach Fink's son!
