Inside Look at Bekan: Russ Hamm Part II

Continuing on with our Inside Look at Bekan column, and Part I, which you can see here at our Bekan site, here is Part II of our interview with agent Russ Hamm.

Me: "Alright to fill everyone in, on the Bekan site we've already gone through your time here, some prior jobs and some of your hobbies. Now we're going to move on to some more fun stuff. Real quick, give me your dream job."
RH: "You mean this isn't the dream? (Laughing) No, but really, I'd love to be the General Manager for the Chicago Cubs."
Me: "Ah, you and I both. I like some of the moves Jim Hendry's made, but others are just head scratchers. You think you'd do better?"
RH: "Most definitely. I don't care how important money was, you just don't get rid of team leaders like Mark Derosa and Kerry Wood. I can't fathom why that was even done. And now you see what happens."
Me: "I completely agree. This team has no leadership. It's the clear cut problem of this year's team. Well, that and nearly our entire team forgetting how to hit. I know you're a Cubs fan, but what's your favorite sports team?"
RH: "Wow! Tough question. It either has to be between the Cubs and IU basketball. But I can't say I'm too proud of either right now."
Me: "Favorite baseball player?"
RH: "I've gotta say Yaz. Carl Yastrzemski. He was one of a kind."
Me: "Alright, I can't wait to get out to Vegas. What's the best you've ever done out there?"
RH: "Ah, not too long ago I made around $3,000 playing Blackjack and Craps. That was a great time. Those were the days."
Me: "That's a nice penny right there. Maybe I'll win something like that."
Me: "Complete change of pace here, but what is your favorite movie?"
RH: "Without a doubt, The Usual Suspects. You never see that ending coming, man."
Me: "Great call. What about a favorite band?"
RH: "Hmm, not a huge music guy. I like whatever's playing. But, I really did like Hootie & the Blowfish when they were still making music."
Me: "Favorite beverage?"
RH: "Anything light. Busch Light, Miller Light, etc."
Me: "Alright, we're winding down a bit now. What's your dream vacation, or visit somewhere?
RH: "It's gotta be a Cubs World Series game at Wrigley Field. That would just be unbelievable."
Me: "Oh yeah, they'd have to win it, though."
Me: "Ok, last question. It's my favorite. What's your favorite place to get a pizza?"
RH: "Oooh, I've gotta go with Pascale's in St. John. They make a great pie. So does Rosati's. And don't sleep on Rock 'n Roll Outpost. All of their food is just great."
Me: "Thanks for your time Russ. It's been fun. The readers are gonna love it."
RH: "Thank you, B. Enjoy it everyone."
