Liam Baron - Pitcher - # 16

Linn-Benton Community College

Casey Grogan: What has your experience been like with the Knights thus far?
Liam Baron:- "It's been great fun, being on a winning ball club is always great fun. We had that big long streak going, and that was a lot of fun trying to keep that going. It's a really cool bunch of guys, who get along really well and go out everyday and get it done."

CG: What is the most memorable ballpark that you have played in? Why?
LB: "I would probably say here (Goss Stadium) because we are playing on Oregon State's field, where they won back-to-back national championships and we won here last year. That was memorable as a summer team winning the championship and coming back trying to do it again this summer."

CG: What is your favorite professional sports team? And who is your favorite professional athlete?
LB: "Our Australian National Baseball Team. They are a bunch of guys who work everyday and don't exactly play baseball for a career. (Australian rules footballer) Chris Judd (of the Carlton Football Club) that guy is an absolute athlete."

CG: What is your favorite thing about Albany?
LB: "With it being a small town I got to know a lot of people. I knew a lot of people at the college and made a good group of friends in the area."

CG: What has been the most memorable moment of your baseball career?
LB: "Winning the under-18 national championships by going undefeated."

CG: Who is your greatest influence in baseball?
LB: "In recent times, the late Ron Boyer. The last two years he really helped me out while I've been over here for college. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of months ago, but he has definitely been my greatest influence."
