Favorite Actual Major League Team: White Sox

In your opinion...who has the best real life ballpark? Only been to a
few but Fenway was pretty fun.

Greatest Sports Memory: The Huskers shellacking the Gators in the '96
Fiesta Bowl. In person would have to be my Evangel Crusaders
National Championship run in basketball during my senior year of
college.

Hobbies: reading, softball, helping with the youth group at church

Although, for recent movies I'd have to strongly suggest The Boy in

Favorite Beverage: Vault Red Blitz

Favorite Band/Singer/or Song? Right now, I really like Disciple,
Thousand Foot Crutch and Pillar.

Maine. I'd love to go to New Zealand someday.

son, Turner, who will be two in August. He keeps the wife and I very
busy.

Toughest Division in Habla: AL East

Most Overrated Habla Team: I'd say the Rangers, but everyone knows
there not very good right now.

Most Underrated Habla Team: I'll be surprised if KL doesn't win a
title before Joss and Grimes retire.

Easiest Owner to Work a Trade With: Hard to remember who I've traded
with the most, but Luke and Nick are probably at the top of that list.

If you weren't managing your current team, what's a team you would
like to manage: I bet I could do something with that Braves roster.

What you like most about Habla: The interest shown by the GMs and the
general friendliness.

Player you are dying to see/or make a comeback in Habla: His final
years and breakup with the club were disappointing, but Frank Thomas
was the reason I became a White Sox fan.

What team would you like to meet up with in the World Series? Rangers

Favorite player on your roster? Sam Crawford is my favorite of the
prospects, but I was quite pleased with the leadership Salty assumed
with a strong finish to his rookie season following the trading of
Shane Block.

Favorite player not on your roster? Ken Brubaker

Wow...hmmm....um.....Pete Rose?

What team would you like to meet up with in the World Series? Any,
that would mean my rebuilding process has finally worked :)

Favorite player on your roster? That's a tough one. Probably Brian
McCann. He's going to be a stud in this league ( I hope ).
