Chris answered four questions for us.

Summer Ball--Who was your favorite baseball player when you were younger?
Chris Edmondson--Ken Griffey Jr. I always liked him because he was a very classy player and was a lefty hitter like me.

SB--What were some of the best things about playing for the Swamp Bats?
CE--The other players I met from around the country. I still talk to some as much as I can from this year and the past year.

SB--In your opinion, who was the toughest pitcher you had to face this past summer?
CE--Mitchell Beacom from Holyoke and UCLA. He is a 6'8" side-arm lefty, and I just couldn't seem to figure him out.
