Interview

[grizzlyb11]

Im sorry if this is in the wrong place. Im new.

My teacher used to play baseball professionally in the Minnesota Twins system. He never made it to the MLB but he played minor league ball. I was wondering if you guys would like to see me do an interview with him about his baseball career. I thought it'd be pretty cool.

This seems like the appropriate place since it has to do with sports I'd think. Have you already done the interview or you just want opinions on if you should?


BTW welcome to SCF!!

First welcome to the site!

Second an interview with him where he talks about what it was like in the minors sounds like it would be cool and informative. What years did he play minor league ball?

[grizzlyb11]

Thank you both! and I was wondering what the ideas were from the forum members. and i dont know the exact years, i will have to ask.

Questions and if i should do the interview

[mberger718]

I'd be interested to know:
1. How they traveled from city to city and what the hotels etc. were like.
2. If he played with or against anybody who made the major leagues and if so, what players?
3. Who was the toughest pitchers he ever faced (if he was a batter) or who the toughest batter he faced was (if he was a pitcher).
4. If he ever had a minor league baseball card.
5. All of the teams he played for.
6. Details on the best game of his career.

Thanks,
Mike

Questions and if i should do the interview

Yes I think you should do the interview if it doesn't trouble the guy. I'd like to know these questions:

Who was the most famous person he played against or with?
Did he see anybody using PEDs? (he doesn't have to name names)
When and why did he know it was time to give up the dream and quit?
Was he ever heckled by a fan or what was the worst experience he ever had deal with a fan?
What was the nicest stadium he played in and what one was the worst?

[grizzlyb11]

I will ask him, as he was out sick yesterday and hes awfully busy. So i will ask him tomorrow afternoon. Thanks guys. I thought of the idea, thought the forum would love to know.

I will also try to take a picture of a card if he had one made of him.
