Best Maverick you've played with: I'm not going with best player
on
this one, there are too many candidates. I am going to choose Rob
Wheeler for this, because he is always up for Mavericks socials, has a

(cap/shirt/pants) Dark green/dark green/white

Yes, as long as he is willing to
pitch, catch, play infield, outfield, and bat......or recruit a full team
of colour blind people

want at the plate? Castor!

the early 90s
Worst moment in sport: being relegated to the Jewson Screwfix
league...or wherever the hell we are
now ;)
Who are going to win the six divisions in the Major Leagues in 2005:
no idea
...and the World Series: Sox again
If you were commissioner of baseball, what one change would you
make: let catchers decide if
they want to wear their masks when warming up the pitcher

particular thing, but baseball has given me
