This week with Monday Musings we talked to former Buck, Brett Andrzejewski. He was a right handed side arm relief pitcher, 
who graduated from Purdue University in 2013 with a degree in History.  Here are 5 interesting facts about him.

1. How did you get involved with the Bucks?
I was called in as a replacement player during the 
beginning of the second half of the season. 
During the summer of 2011,I was asked back, 
and played the entire summer season of 2012.

2. What was your most memorable moment playing for the Bucks?
I have many great memories of playing for the Bucks. The Bucks gave me the opportunity to play with players 
from all over the country and against some of the toughest competition college baseball had to offer. 
The Bucks gave me the opportunity to be teammates again with my little league and 
high school teammate, Kyle Kramp. I met people while playing for the Bucks that I still keep in touch with today. 
We all have a special bond with each other because we spent nearly every hour together for 75 days 
during the summer. But, the best moments that I will always remember are the times in the bullpen. 
You never knew what you were going to encounter when sitting in the bullpen. 
Being right next to the fans was always a great experience, whether they were heckling you or cheering you on.

3. Who were the people who influenced you the most and why?
My family was always a big influence to me. They always pushed me to try my best at whatever I was doing. 
This was something that paid off for me later in life,  that is why I ultimately was able to graduate 
and play baseball for Purdue University.
 
4. If you could change one thing about baseball, what would it be?
If I could change one thing about baseball, I would make a way for people who do "the little things" to receive 
more credit. Everyone admires the guy who throws 90 mph and strikes out 10 batters a game, 
but doesn't give credit to the 80 mph lefty who comes in with the bases loaded and gets double plays. 
The guys who can always get a bunt down, or make that play defensively, or go first to third on a single, 
deserve more credit than they get. Baseball is becoming a game of the glamorous 3 run home run and 
I would change that. 

5. Who was a player you admired growing up?
I admired players like David Eckstein growing up. Growing up, I was an undersized middle infielder with
 no speed or power. I loved that David Eckstein was a World Series MVP for the St. Louis Cardinals because
 he was all of those things. He was a "blue collar" player who wasn't afraid to get dirty.
As a pitcher, I admired Greg Maddux. I loved that he didn't over power anyone, but he out smarted every one. 
He had the upmost confidence that he could get anyone out at anytime.
