Favorite Moment: "I remember the team having a tag team wrestling tournament in the outfield when we showed up for picture day at the Cubs [minor league] stadium in Des Moines, Iowa for the World Series. All the other teams seemed pretty serious and we were cutting up all the time.
I also remember us getting hot at the right time. We did not even finish first in our conference during the regular season, but we won our last 17 games."
