Marco is 5 years old and is home-schooled, entering kindergarten this year. The most recent baseball team he played for was for Wish Farms, and their team name was “The Blue Dragons.” 

What’s your favorite thing about baseball?

I like my coaches… this past season was Mr. Ryan Howard. I like my bat. 

Do you like hitting or fielding more, and why?

Well, hitting because I get to score runs. 

If you’re not playing sports, what do you like to do for fun? 

I like to play on our water slide and swimming. Fishing with daddy cause I like to eat fish. 

After playing sports, what’s your favorite thing to eat?

Mac and cheese, avocado, and apples 

If you could have a  walk-up song, what would it be? 

G.T.O by Ronny and the Daytonas 

If you could make your own baseball team, what would the name be?

The Rays 

If you could make your own baseball team, what color would the jerseys be?

Dark blue

Would you rather play baseball games in the morning or at night?

At night 

What’s a sport that you haven’t played yet that you want to try and why?

I would like to try golf because I’ve done Top Golf and it’s a lot of fun. 

What do you want to be when you grow up, and why?

Mowing grass and trimming trees cause I just like to do that.
