Extra Innings with Ryan Williams

April 18, 2002

1.Who is/was your favorite player? Did you pattern your game after his?
My favorite player has to be Jason Giambi, for the simple fact that he is a stud.

2.Why did you choose Oklahoma to continue your baseball and academic career?
I chose Oklahoma because I had fun on my visit, and the people and the coaches were just very nice and very friendly.

3.If you could go to dinner with anyone (dead or alive), who would it be?
If I could go to dinner with anyone dead or alive, it would have to be Chris Farley because he was a young and talented comedian who passed away.

4.What is your most embarrassing moment? Why?
My most embarrassing moment was giving up a bloop hit to Chris Jakubauskas, because I own him.

5.What are your goals for this season, both as a team and personally?
I would like to become the closer, and help the team to win the Big XII title.

6.Who was your favorite Major League team growing up?
I always liked the Chicago Cubs because they were always on television and Harry Carry was the man.

7.For you, what is "must-see TV?"
I enjoy the reality shows. There's a new Survivor series starting up soon, so I'll be watching that. Real World, Road Rules, Temptation Island, all of those are fun to watch.

9. What is your favorite non-baseball professional sports team?
The Dallas Mavericks! Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Michael Finley... those guys are really fun to watch. I remember when the Mavs were really bad, so it's good to see them winning now.

10. Why do you wear the jersey number you do?
Somehow, I got No. 38, but my favorite number is 27. I guess it's just what I've worn and I've done alright in it, so I won't change.

11. If there was a movie made about your life, what would it be called and who would play you?
The movie would be called "Who Knows What God Plans" and I'd have to find an actor taller than most of the guys I see out there.
