All About Matt
My favorite player to watch play baseball today is:  Mariano Rivera
I try to emulate:  Greg Maddux when I pitch because even if his stuff is off, he still knows how to pitch to win
How did you get started in baseball? Playing T-ball
My favorite baseball memory:  The Area Code Games in 2004 (The Area Code Games are one of the highest regarded high school showcases in the country. The games take place in California in August every year.)
