Mike Ballard Quotations

Last year we had a little bit of growing pains early on. This year with the whole team chemistry guys have really come together a lot earlier than last year. We are firing on all cylinders right now.

You know, it's not too different. Last year, I pitched in some Friday games. Friday, Saturday, Sunday -- it doesn't matter. All you have to do is just go out there and pitch.

We feel this is a great success. We had overwhelming support from the business community and from our own members. This will definitely become a TBAN tradition.

The wings are really good, Beer's cold and good prices.

This is the best networking event of the year for anyone looking for investors or to invest in start-up companies. Companies that attended last year met some great contacts and fostered relationships that resulted in millions of dollars in funding.

The Vegas Venture Forum is a perfect opportunity for an affluent individual looking to provide capital for business start-ups.

In this game you really can't look past anyone and take them lightly. Otherwise it can sneak up and bite you. We can't look past this weekend and ahead next weekend to Georgia Tech. We really just have to take it one game at a time and just look forward to coming out Friday with a lot of enthusiasm and be ready to play.

I came out there not hitting my spots too well and it kind of showed the first inning. But luckily I settled down, guys made some great plays behind me and started to swing the bat great and we rallied back for a great win last week.
