Best Part Of Playing Amateur Baseball: Being able to play with coaches that I look up to

Thoughts on Brandon Wilhelmi's Return to the Tigers: Before this year, I haven't seen Brandon play, but have heard and read great things. I am excited to be able to play with him.

Should both the AL and NL use the DH with interleague play all year long? Personally, I believe both leagues should be the same. Either they should both have a DH, or both bat their pitchers.

Will Davis give Nocky an at-bat this year? I hope so!

Who will be the first person to miss a sign? probably me

Favorite Baseball Announcer: Harry Doyle (Bob Uecker's character in the Major League movies)

What should happen if a softball shows up in the dugout? Give it to Marty...he'll take care of it!

Parting Thoughts: Let's play ball!
