"10 Questions with..." is back and in this segment, we interview one of B.I.A.'s rookies from last season, Hinal Patel. We learn about his nickname, his contribution to the team and his feelings towards being the first Indian player for the organization.
BIA: What was your favorite B.I.A. moment during your rookie season?
HP: Just being able to play and be a part of B.I.A.
BIA: What was your worst B.I.A. moment?
HP: Losing those two key games last season against Brews on First. I feel if we had just one extra play it could have changed the outcome of the game easily, which made those losses hurt more. I'm ready to get back out there this 2011 Spring I season and show the rest of the league what B.I.A. can do!
HP: Newly-wed Scott Limon (I kid!) Machala. His love of the game truly inspires me to play.
BIA: What do you feel that you bring to B.I.A. personally?
HP: Speed on the base-paths and fielding. Oh yeah, and a little bit of humor, too.
BIA: Why "Brownie" on the back of your jersey?HP: Some friends of mine called me that growing up. It was funny and unique and just stuck through the years.
BIA: How does it feel to be the first Indian player to play for B.I.A.?
HP: Awesome. I feel honored. Look for the left-fielder hollering random things in an indian accent during games this Spring!
BIA: What is the first thing that you are thinking about when you are up to kick? HP: Just go out there, relax, have fun, and get on base.
BIA: What would be your theme song and why?
HP: "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. Its probably one of my most favorite songs of all time.
BIA: What is the first thing that goes through your mind when going after a popfly?
HP: Secure the catch and try not to let any runners on-base advance. Kickball is tricky, since its tough to contain runners out from the outfield
BIA: What would you be doing right now if you never played kickball?
HP: Wishing I played kickball.
