Getting to Know the Bulls -- #27 Kyle Pitman
July 21, 2006 --
1) What is your all-time favorite baseball brawl? Tigers vs. White Sox in 2000. Weaver hits Carlos Lee, Jim Parque hits Dean Palmer. 11 players ejected, Keith Foulke needs 5 stitches to close a cut on his face from a punch. Also, that fight in Japan League where the pitcher smokes the hitter and then runs away into the outfield with 9 guys chasing him is a pretty good one too.

3) Who has the hottest girlfriend on the team? Willitts
4) What age did you start playing ball? 4
5) What is your favorite computer game? PS2 is where it’s at, MVP NCAA 06 and NHL 06.
6) What's your best memory in a Burlington Bulls uniform? Only played 21 games with the team so far (19 this season, 2 last season in a tournament), but I’d have to say just taking the field with these guys every game. I’ve never played ball with a better group of guys.
7) Do they know? I don't even know, so how could they know?
8) Who is most likely to be the first guy at the ballpark? The last? Cam’s the first one there, Conlon and Howden alternate with being the last, depending on whether or not their is a 7-11 close to the park.
9) What is the best aspect of your game? Contact Hitting and Getting on Base.
10) What aspect of your game are you working on? Adjusting to a new position defensively and hitting the ball to the opposite field.
11) What is your biggest baseball achievement? Winning 6 consecutive Toronto Regional Championships with Martingrove Rep and 5 consecutive Toronto High School Championships.
12) When was your first homerun? August 1996 against a team from New Jersey in the Can-Am Tournament
13) Which teammate do you spend the most time with outside of baseball? Conlon and Leyland
14) Where did you play your Minor Baseball? Martingrove Rep until Midget, then Etobicoke Rangers
15) Who is your favorite Major League player? Vernon Wells and Roy Halladay
16) What is your favorite Major League Team? Toronto Blue Jays
17) Who is your favorite Bulls’ player? Leyland, because it’s pretty much a guaranteed win when he takes the hill, and Guy, because even when I make a mistake he still makes the play.
18) What do you think of OSSBA and How could the league be improved? OSSBA is a great league. We could use more games against our rival teams and more expansion.
19) Which OSSBA team do you look most forward to playing? Richmond Hill and Durham because they are the class of the west and you always want to beat the best.
20) What is your favorite tournament memory? Peterborough, where Atkinson got doused by a Diet Coke and Wendy’s fries from the balcony, shotgunned like 15 beers, got kicked into the bushes while he was peeing, talked to a crazy homeless guy for an hour, and Crawford had to retrieve his sandals from the roof of the hotel.
21) What is the best defensive play you've ever seen the Bulls make? Guy laying out to catch a line drive in extra innings against Brooklin, saving 2 runs and the game for us.
22) How many times have you been ejected and why? A few times, mostly when I was younger. The worst one was drawing a line in the dirt on the first pitch that was outside, being warned not to do it again, and then after being rung up, drawing another line. I got the ejection and a one game suspension, then got 3 more for showering the umpire with dirt and telling him to meet me in the parking lot.
23) Would you rather : (A) have a team curfew at tournaments? (B) compete in naked pushup
contests? (C) have to towel Conlon off after a pitching performance? By far the curfew. I don’t need naked pushup photos surfacing on a baseball team website, and I don’t even want to touch Conlon after he’s been pitching.
24)What’s your favorite thing to do on the bench? (A) eat Lord's seeds (B) Drink Lord's water (C)
Play the bunt game (D) Do Skoal (E) hear E-Con stories (F) make up absurd slogans like "Baseball Baseball"? A and E. I never have to buy seeds and Econ has a funny story for everything.

Getting to Know the Bulls -- #19 Brad Johnston
July 27, 2006 --
1) What is your all-time favorite baseball brawl? Pedro vs. Zimmerman
2) Where were you when the Jays won the World Series in ‘92? At my folks place… I remember questioning why they were bringing in Timlin to face Nixon… Guess I should have trusted Cito… it all worked out.
3) Who has the hottest girlfriend on the team? Langford
4) What age did you start playing ball? I’m pretty sure I was 8
5) What is your favorite computer game? Not my thing but if the bunt game was on the computer that would get the nod. I’d probably own Masters there too!
6) What's your best memory in a Burlington Bulls uniform? The comeback against Bloor in the first round last year… those were good games that eventually got overshadowed by the rest of the playoffs, but we were almost knocked out real early
7) Do they know? I doubt it
8) Who is most likely to be the first guy at the ballpark? The last? McKnight – First guy there and last one leaving
9) What is the best aspect of your game? I think I call a pretty good game, let pitchers use all their pitches and work with what they are throwing well that day
10) What aspect of your game are you working on? Trying to see the ball better at the plate, being a smart hitter and having good at bats. OBP too.
11) What is your biggest baseball achievement? For me its either the tournament winning streak back in the Oakville days or an incredible grade 12 and OAC year with the High School ball team. It’s tough not to be good with Blasko, McKnight, Albrecht, Howden, Sheriff and myself, not to mention some kids a year younger that could rip the tits off any pitcher they saw. This bulls team is really something too the attitude and approach to the game is unreal. An awesome group to play with!
12) When was your first homerun? Neyagawa I was 15… the second one was better because it was off McKnight a week later… He was pissed!
13) Which teammate do you spend the most time with outside of baseball? McKnight or Langford
14) Where did you play your Minor Baseball? Oakville Little League for most of it
15) Who is your favorite Major League player? All time gotta go with Pat Borders – right now Posada or Vernon Wells
16) What is your favorite Major League Team? Jays
17) Who is your favorite Bulls’ player? Blasko – The only guy I know that can pull off hockey hair on the ball diamond
18) What do you think of OSSBA and How could the league be improved? I like the OSSBA a lot. Most teams are really serious and the level of play shows that. I’d like to see us move to wood bats
19) Which OSSBA team do you look most forward to playing? Durham – I don’t think I’ve ever had to be more mentally prepared to think my way through an opposing lineup then I was with those guys, top to bottom they can hurt you. They're a great opponent!
20) What is your favorite tournament memory? Don’t have a Bulls tournament yet… looking forward to Ottawa though. Overall I gotta say hitting that bomb in Cawthra in the semi’s a few years ago.
21) What is the best defensive play you've ever seen the Bulls make? Guy and Blasko but everyone will say that… I love watching Howden catch routine fly balls, he’s just such a natural
22) How many times have you been ejected and why? Only once Mississauga tournament in 2000 I had gotten my teeth knocked out in an unrelated non baseball incident about a week earlier, there was one out and the bases loaded I was on 3rd and a ground ball hit to the shortstop I had to run, knowing I was dead at the plate, the throw brought the Brantford catcher up the line a bit and he had to tag me. I brought my hands up to protect my face that had recently been smashed in. The ump thought I was trying to run the catcher and gassed me for it!
23) Would you rather : (A) have a team curfew at tournaments? (B) compete in naked pushup contests? (C) have to towel Conlon off after a pitching performance? I pick a team curfew… b/c theres no way we could ever enforce that
24) What’s your favorite thing to do on the bench? (A) eat Lord's seeds (B) Drink Lord's water (C) Play the bunt game (D) Do Skoal (E) hear E-Con stories (F) make up absurd slogans like "Baseball Baseball"? Bunt game all the way- I’m hooked on it, although honourable mention goes to the “baseball baseball” thing.
