Interviewing the Champ: Gary of the Expos

I am starting a new tradition where we will interview the GM of the Habla Champion after he wins the World Series. I think it will be a fun way to get to know some GM's better. We start with Gary of the Expos, who as one of the longest tenured owners just won his first ring. Congratulation again, Gary. Here is the interview.


1. How does it feel to have won the Habla world Series?

It feels great. It was a loug haul which makes it that much sweeter.

2. Did your team surprise you this year?

Not really. We had a great year last year and this is a veteran group. They really wanted it after last years 1st round exit.

3. What is the one move you made that help you become an elite team in this league?

Drafting P Takashi Saito. We needed a closer and he's been great.

4. What is the secret to winning a Habla World Series?

I think you are asking the wrong guy. After all the failures I've had I guess the odds eventually went in my favor.

5. Is there anything you would like the league to know about you as a person?

I'm old school. I'm responsible for my actions. It use to bug me as I was refered to as a "nice guy" but now I'm pleased to hear it. When I was young I use to wish I could gain weight and now that I'm middled aged I'm about twice the man I used to be. Careful what you wish for. LOL

Great season Gary, couldn't have happened to a "nicer guy." Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyways, good season, and hopefully you'll be the only team that ever sweeps me in the playoffs.
