If the three seniors play an important role on this young team, it's one of a lighthearted nature for left fielder John Gardiner, center fielder Travis Garcia and right fielder Mike Andersen. Ask Gardiner what his role is and here's what happens. I'm the talker on the team. I try to get us fired up, but Travis, he doesn't say a word all game. The only time Travis talks is when he calls me off on a fly ball.
Center fielder is supposed to be the one who hustles.
Oh let Gardiner or Andersen get it. By this time an assistant coach notices and calls the outfielders the Three Stooges. They don't mind. It just leads to another round of ribbing. Garcia has come over to try and unnerve Gardiner as he responds to a question about why the team is so close.
