Best Part Of Playing Amateur Baseball: There is nothing better than being around a bunch of guys that love the game. Some other things that make amateur fun are Nocky throwing BP (hope to face you again this year), Loomis and Vogel flying around the bases, St. Stephen, going to games with the legend Brent Haz coaching 1st/stealing bases, and Davis quotes.

Thoughts on Brandon Wilhelmi's Return to the Tigers: I have never gotten the chance to play with Brandon, but he, along with Sturmy, was one of the guys I grew up watching and wanting to be like. He is the ultimate gamer and competitor. I cannot wait to get the chance to play with him this year. Glad he is back on our side!

Should both the AL and NL use the DH with interleague play all year long? yes

Will Davis give Nocky an at-bat this year? I would like to see Nocky and Davis both get some AB's this year. Nocky is tough to keep out of the lineup because he gives teams such matchup problems being a switch hitter. Davis and Nocky back to back in a lineup would be scary.

Who will be the first person to miss a sign? It's tough to say. Will it be a player missing a sign or will Davis give multiple signs such as bunt and hit and run in one sequence to confuse us? We will have to wait and see.

Favorite Baseball Announcer: Bert Blyleven

What should happen if a softball shows up in the dugout? use it in bp and hit some bombs

Parting Thoughts: Should be a fun year and I can't wait to get started. This needs to be the year we make a run, get back into the state tournament and do some damage when we get there. Compete every game!
