Mike was our Cooperstown guest performer. He played with our team in 2011, was on the other 12AA in 2012, but joined us for Cooperstown. The highlights below are provided by him. Note that he tends to exaggerate.
2012 season high point: Hit 17 HR in one game despite coming to the plate 3 times. Throws his change-up 118 MPH. And that's when he's kneeling. The one time he hit a batter the ball went all the way through the guy's body.
2012 season low point: Was walked 4 times in a game, ending his hitting streak at 7028 games.
Weird habit worth mentioning: Insight is limited, he only played with us at Cooperstown. Despite many terrible questions being asked during the year, Mike quickly took the standard for bad questions to a new level. Example from the first night: Mike: "I have a question". Adam: "Well, I'm explaining substitution rules, and it's late. This had better be a good question. And based on last year, my hopes are low". Mike: (points to cases of water) "Are those for us?" Adam: (hangs heads, sighs): "Mike, that question is so bad I don't even know what to say". You get the picture.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Hard to say, great kid. But he does like to hug. And Uncle Lou does not seem like the hugging type, in his mind, hugging leads to sex changes. A thank you hug from Wallace might be the beginning to the perfect storm.
