Meet the Cast Monday #3: Baby Cousin

If you've read the blog for a while, you've read before about Baby Cousin. Baby Cousin is the son of Cousin Kevin (for those of you who may be keeping a family tree). He solidified his place as star athlete of the family when he was drafted out of high school by the San Francisco Giants. Lucky for us, he is in the off season right now and had time to answer a few questions.


Introducing Baby Cousin......

Describe a normal day of playing minor league baseball:
A normal game day when pitching includes grabbing lunch (Subway) at 12:30, show up at the stadium by 2, throw on your batting practice jersey and shorts, head out to the field and go through team stretch and play a little catch, then head back up to the clubhouse to grab some pre-game food, rest, and get your head right, for a 7:15 start usually be back on the field at 6:30 to stretch again and get your arm ready for the game, at 7 start getting ready throwing to the catcher in the bullpen, National anthem on the field and Gametime!!

What has been the coolest baseball-related experience you've had?
Having the opportunity to visit the childrens hospital in Los Angeles. I was there for the Aflac All-American game and one of our afternoon schedules included a visit with the kids downtown L.A. It was the most eye opening event i've ever had. One of those memories i'll always hold on to. {Seriously, how sweet is this kid??}

If you weren't playing professional ball, what would you want to do?
Well at this age I'd be in college still, but other than that spend my fall/winter slaving at a certain company called BigLittle Fudge! {You might remember BigLittle--that is Cousin Kevin's fudge company that was featured as my December giveaway}

What's your favorite food?
Midge and David's chile relleno casserole, mmmm or David's ribsteak with queso and Lemonade Pie for dessert.

What's the fastest your pitch has been clocked at?
96 or 97 not too sure
Have you ever had your heart broken?
Fortunately, have not. {My guess is that Baby Cousin is the heartbreaker!}

What's one (or more) item(s) on your bucket list?
Top of the list is skydiving, Going to have to sneak it past Kevin as he has informed me it better be after he's dead. {We should talk about this....I may be interested in joining you...over Cousin Kevin's dead body, of course.}
