I have a question for everybody...

Say that you had a chance… I dunno, you won a contest or something… you had a chance to face a major league pitcher for one at-bat in an exhibition setting. Is there anyone you’d like to face less than Marmol?

Hell, I played baseball at a decently high level, and I would run screaming away from the batter’s box before he released his first pitch.

Seems to be no love lost between the entire team and the Blue Angel.
