Ryan: Why are you playing baseball?
Ryan Wrobleski: I'm playing baseball because 1) I love it, 2) it makes me feel young not working an ordinary job and I think the last part is I think God gave me a good ability to play baseball. I'm using his abilities to the best I can.
Ryan: What made you play baseball?
Ryan Wrobleski: I would say my dad. He played baseball in college. It was kind of always in our family just to play baseball, and I personally liked football more. As you can see I'm not the biggest person, so baseball worked out a little bit better for me.
Ryan: Who is your favorite Disney princess?
Ryan Wrobleski: Oh my, I don't know a lot of them. I think the one that comes to mind when I was growing up is Snow White. Is that a Disney princess? Yes, Snow White.
Ryan: What is the better mascot, Sammy or Rusty?
Ryan Wrobleski: I love the pelicans around here, so I'm going to go with Sammy. He's a seagull I think, so I'm going with Sammy.
Ryan: What's the best stadium besides the Hooks?
Ryan Wrobleski: I will say the best one that I've been to so far is Frisco. That's also where I live in the offseason, so I'm a little biased. I think Frisco has the best stadium so far.
Ryan: Does your family come to watch you play baseball games?
Ryan Wrobleski: They do. My mom and dad have came to a couple. My mom has only seen me play a couple of times because she works a lot. One of the times she came last year I actually got thrown out of the game, so that wasn't good. They come down a lot. My brothers will come down sometimes, but mostly my mom and dad.
Ryan Wrobleski: What's your favorite thing about the Hooks?
Ryan: To be here.
Ryan Wrobleski: Good answer. I'm happy to be here too.
