10 Questions With Tim Corbin

With the start of the 2004 Vanderbilt Baseball season less than a week away, the coaches and players can’t wait to get the season going. Each weekday leading up to first pitch, VUCommodores.com will sit down with the three Commodore seniors and the four coaches in a segment we call — 10 Questions With.

VUCommodores.com: What is the best baseball movie of all-time?
Tim Corbin: “When It Was A Game” and “Only The Ball was White”.

VU: What web site do you check first everyday?
TC: sportspages.com

VU: What CD is in your player right now?

VU: Who on the team talks the best chatter?
TC: Stephen Shao and Ryan Rote… they are hysterical and very clever.

TC: I call my good friend Sidd Finch and we play burnout at 35 feet.

VU: Tell us some interesting fact about you.
TC: I am boring and a simpleton… there is nothing remotely interesting about me whatsoever.
