How did you get involved with the Bucks?<\/strong>\r\nI was called in as a replacement player during the \r\nbeginning of the second half of the season. \r\nDuring the summer of 2011,I was asked back, \r\nand played the entire summer season of 2012.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. What was your most memorable moment playing for the Bucks?<\/strong>\r\nI have many great memories of playing for the Bucks. The Bucks gave me the opportunity to play with players \r\nfrom all over the country and against some of the toughest competition college baseball had to offer. \r\nThe Bucks gave me the opportunity to be teammates again with my little league and \r\nhigh school teammate, Kyle Kramp. I met people while playing for the Bucks that I still keep in touch with today. \r\nWe all have a special bond with each other because we spent nearly every hour together for 75 days \r\nduring the summer. But, the best moments that I will always remember are the times in the bullpen. \r\nYou never knew what you were going to encounter when sitting in the bullpen. \r\nBeing right next to the fans was always a great experience, whether they were heckling you or cheering you on.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who were the people who influenced you the most and why?\r\n<\/strong>My family was always a big influence to me. They always pushed me to try my best at whatever I was doing. \r\nThis was something that paid off for me later in life,  that is why I ultimately was able to graduate \r\nand play baseball for Purdue University.\r\n \r\n<strong>4. If you could change one thing about baseball, what would it be?<\/strong>\r\nIf I could change one thing about baseball, I would make a way for people who do &quot;the little things&quot; to receive \r\nmore credit. Everyone admires the guy who throws 90 mph and strikes out 10 batters a game, \r\nbut doesn&#039;t give credit to the 80 mph lefty who comes in with the bases loaded and gets double plays. \r\nThe guys who can always get a bunt down, or make that play defensively, or go first to third on a single, \r\ndeserve more credit than they get. Baseball is becoming a game of the glamorous 3 run home run and \r\nI would change that. \r\n\r\n<strong>5. Who was a player you admired growing up?<\/strong>\r\nI admired players like David Eckstein growing up. Growing up, I was an undersized middle infielder with\r\n no speed or power. I loved that David Eckstein was a World Series MVP for the St. Louis Cardinals because\r\n he was all of those things. He was a &quot;blue collar&quot; player who wasn&#039;t afraid to get dirty.\r\nAs a pitcher, I admired Greg Maddux. I loved that he didn&#039;t over power anyone, but he out smarted every one. \r\nHe had the upmost confidence that he could get anyone out at anytime<\/span>.\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week with Monday Musings we talked to former Buck, Brett Andrzejewski.
