You grow as an individual into a better man, a better son ..just better for your community overall. I seek to instill this within our players and future club members.

Q:What is or was your favorite player in BB? Any reason why?

A:I would have to say Darryl Strawberry ..I would always try to emulate his batting style and just his love for the game.
