CG: What is your favorite professional sports team? And who is your favorite professional athlete?
AM: "The Los Angeles Dodgers. I've got a few (Dodgers) favorites, I've got a Matt Kemp (outfielder), I've got a Manny Ramirez (outfielder) and I've got a Casey Blake (third baseman). They just come as one, one package."

AM: "Making it to the regional with Cal Poly this last season for the first time."

CG: Who is your greatest influence in baseball?
AM: "My dad and my mom because they played catch with me when I was younger and got me started in the sport. Also, my little league and high school coach Kevin Gross. He was a big leaguer, just a real knowledgeable guy and made me love the game."
