Casey Blake: I don't mind hitting cleanup, and I don't feel any more pressure hitting there. Pitchers might pitch me differently, but that is going to help me be a better hitter.
Base_Ball: Is it true you learned to ride a unicycle in just a couple hours?
CB: I was 10 years old. It was more than a couple of hours, it was more like half a day.
bazookajoe: How old were you when you started playing?
CB: I had older brothers so it was when I was coordinated enough to catch and throw.
Base_Ball_2: What's the best way to pick off a runner on third?
CB: Watch the runners lead and make sure he has a big enough lead to get him. That is both a pickoff from the pitcher and catcher.
Base_Ball_2: Any third base tips for a beginner?
CB: Use one hand when practicing ground balls.
