These days it is pretty hard to know much about your favorite players beyond their stat line. With that in mind, every so often I will feature a piece titled the ‘Pen Profile. This gives you, the reader, a chance to get to know your favorite Whitecaps players. Due to the fact that I am a non-threatening media personality, and there isn’t much else to talk about in the bullpen, you will get more information than out of a standard newspaper article. With that I give you the inaugural interview, one of the more colorful personalities on the team, our closer, Noah Krol.

Noah is from Nickerson, a small town in Kansas.
AH: Who was your idol growing up?
NK: I don’t know, I know you’re supposed to say your parents, but everyone says that.
AH: Who inspires you now?
NK: The movie Hoosiers
AH: Not a person?
NK: No the movie does it.
AH: What is your favorite food?
NK: Hot dogs. I’m not sure how many I could eat but I might try sometime.
AH: Being the closer, what do you think about during the game?
NK: It’s just another day
AH: What kind of car do you drive?
NK: A 1992 dirt brown Ford “Exploder”
AH: That’s up there with my 1998 Honda black hole.
AH: What’s your favorite bullpen activity?
NK: Arguing with Rudy [Darrow].

Well that’s all for now, hopefully this has given you a taste of what life is like around the team and look for further ‘Pen Profiles to come.
