WITH JIM MOORE 1/17/02

You wanted the best and you got the best.  Here's 20 Questions and 1 threesome with Jimmy Moore.



1.  Let's kick things off with a good story from our youth.  Once when you got angry in the O'Neil's yard you took 2 baseball bats and began swinging them around trying to hit anyone and everyone.  Soon after, Big Mike O sticks his head out of the house and yells "JIMMY" and you ran home.  Fill us in with your comments on this.

Honestly, Matt, this might be a funny story if I remembered it.  I was probably 5 years old and I am sorry to disappoint you but your consistent dialog about the incident is the only reason that I haven't forgotten about it.  I'm sure that I was pissed off.

2.  When were you first introduced to the team and what did you think?

My first impression of the team...  the first thing that I noticed was that everyone was just like Casey and Matt, except Carl.
  
3.  How's the action in
Arizona?  In fact tell us your plans in Arizona and what you're currently up to.

Right now I am enrolled at ASU and the "scenery" is greater than I expected.  People look differently and act differently too.  The weather is perfect every day, and there is no humidity.  There are mountains a mile away from my resort community apartment in North Scottsdale (it's like Birmingham meets Beverly Hills) and palm trees next to cacti.  This truly is a place you have to see to believe. I am moving to within walking distance of campus and Mill Ave, which is like Royal Oak crossed with a metropolitan version of Ann Arbor.  Come Jan 4, 2002, I will be doing laboratory research and I am very excited about it. 

4.  On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being a torn ligament and 10 being a motorhead,
rate the following ball players:

Cecil Fielder=
if he wasn't so fat, I'd say 7
Chet Lemon=
chet who?
Jimmy Moore=
1
Mark McGwire=
7 --> but should that be for Home runs
or stikeouts?

Jimmy Hendrix=
I have a poster of him smashing an ax
and setting it on fire


5.  Word around the dugout is that you, Backseat Rhythms original guitar player, is turning in his axe and calling it a day.  The rumors end here.  Tell us if you're really leaving the music industry?

My brother actually has been pressuring my to play guitar for him... So I may stick with it.  I don't find it as interesting as I used to when I first started.

6.  You were the rookie of the year and also won the most improved player award in the fall of 2000.  You also captured the 11th man award that summer.  If you could have one other award, what would it be and why?

Pornstar of the year.

7.  Finish these sentences:

The best thing about our website is
I only look at it when I'm at Casey's.
Once when no one was watching I
smashed a pumpkin in my grumpy old neighbor's yard.
The real deal with my mustang is
I am looking for a buyer.
I earned the nickname "airwolf" because
I knew exactly what it was when matt played it on the way to Meijor.
I bring homework to WWF pay per view events because
I don't care.
If I had one wish I would wish for
... I already have it.

8.  Tell us one good story from when you worked at the Stables bar and grill or any other place that you and shenanigans were involved.

There were these two ladies in their late twenties. One pretended to be a nurse, the other a cop.

9.  Oh yeah, this is a baseball website...so...what past baseball experience do you have if any?

none

10.  Has Jimmy Moore ever:

Been fully engulfed in fire=
only in a dream
Really ate Tex-Mex before a game=

Outbenched Carl=

Ate out all the sushi at the Asian Buffet=
yes
Played organized baseball outside Casey's yard=
peatage
Been caught with his pants down=
by who?
Taken creatine or other body building suppliments=
once and not again

11.  If you were stuck in an elevator and could have 2 teammates with you,
who would they be and why ?

Mr. Kelly and Phillip because the chances are that one of them would bum me a smoke.

12.  Your profile picture is quite humorous.  Comment on that and why you also chose number 0.

In every picture I look differently, I can't help it.  I chose the number zero because it personified my abilities on the field.

13.  Who is your favorite former Peatage player? (Ex: Lorne, Kyle, Scott,
Jeff,
Gary, Ritz, Jimmy "airwolf" Moore, Craig, Mark (Scott Krimm's brother
in law))

Of course, Craig... who else is that funny?

14.  What do you remember about the following years:

hear:

18.  If you could be Carl for a day, what would you do with yourself and to
others?

I'd be a manwhore and extort money from strange women

19.  You were just moments away from living with Anthony J. Ciatti.  Are you glad you avoided such a catastrophy or would you have liked to see what would have came from that environment?

Had that happened, I might have stayed in Michigan.

20.  Did you enjoy your 20 questions Jimmy Moore? (Also use this space
to say anything you want or plug your stuff/website/merchandise)

"I'm not a moron, I'm a Moore."


Well there you have it.  Jimmy was a good sport.  This is all in good fun anyway.  Thanks for the interview Jimmy!
