Player Interviews

Hey MoonDog fans, I'm back and soon enough we'll be on a winning streak! Our friends stay busy playing ball but I managed to wrangle (like the Cowboy Monkey, Whiplash!) a few up to BARKinterview!

It turns out that they've never been interviewed by a dog before, and although none of them said it was their favorite experience of the summer, I know it was. Troy Larson (Minnesota) said his favorite baseball memory came earlier this year with the University of Minnesota when "we made it to regionals by winning the Big 10 conference and the Big 10 tournament." Sounds like a great time!

Danny Miller (Minnesota State) said that his favorite MoonDogs BARKmemory was "When Tim Griffin (Pulaski Mariners) threw his no-hitter." The near unanimous answer when asked who is the funniest MoonDog was Chase Joiner (Memphis).

Another unanimous answer? When asked what their favorite pet's name was, all the players said - MUTTNIK!! Maybe the weBARKirdest or funniest thing any MoonDog does. . . Jim Stokes (Elon) listens to Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers on his iPod!

Tonight at 5:30 we'll resume our suspended game with the Brainerd Lakes Area Lunkers, and after a 20 minute break between games to get the fieBARKld ready, we'll start a second game which will be seven innings. Be sure to stick around after the game as Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey will be herding sheep while riding a dog! - Could you spend $6 any better than that?

After the game the guys will head to Willmar to play two games before returning home on July 9th for the MoonDogs Team Poster presented by Northstar Aviation. The first 750 fans will receive a free MoonDogs team poster! Starting the 9th the MoonDogs will have nine home games in 10 days, for all the information on the games and your favorite MoonDogs check out our web page at: www.mankatomoondogs.com

We'll see you at The Frank!
