TWIF: What is your favorite baseball team and who is your favorite baseball player of all time?
DG: Nats fan now, especially like all the Ryans, but favorite players growing up were guys (watch me date myself) such as Fred Lynn, Dwight Evans, Jim Rice, Mike Greenwell, and others who played outfield for the Red Sox when the Fenway bleachers were filled with 1000 Goodwill Huntings

TWIF: What is your favorite thing about Wiffleball?
DG: Yelling obscenties at the commissioner when there's a jet flying overhead.

TWIF: Have you ever done anything under the bleachers you're not proud of?
DG: I was desperate for some gatorade, it was hot, you promised you wouldn't tell.

TWIF: Who is the player in the league you'd most like to see get hit by a car while chasing a foul ball?
DG: Not going to say as we head into division play.

TWIF: Diving catch, or homer off the pole?
DG: Catch, looks more impressive on the video.

TWIF: You were a fairly consistent player on the two-time world champion Canvassers teams. However, out on your own, away from the shadows of Chris, Stephen and Tony, you have become a stronger player, potentially even and All-Star. How has your motivation and play changed from your perspective now that you are more responsible for the fate of your team?
DG: I beat out a lot of crappy grounders last year knowing Stephen would knock me in if I could get to first. This year, I've got a girl hitting behind me.
