Alyssa heeft ook een interview gehad met "Sports news", natuurlijk ging dit interview een groot deel over Baseball. Maar ze hebben ook over andere dingen gepraat. Check it out:
Alyssa Milano is an actress, Dodgers season-ticket holder and playoff correspondent for TBS' Hot Corner on MLB.com.
SN: This Hot Corner gig seems right up your alley.
MILANO: I'm very excited. My whole philosophy is going into this as the fan with the ultimate access, to sort of be the voice of the baseball fan and have fun with it.
SN: If Alyssa Milano were the commissioner for one week, what would she do?
MILANO: Good question. I think the first thing I would do would be to apologize for the steroid era. Nobody's actually come forward and said, "We're sorry this happened, and we're going to protect the integrity of the sport and ensure that it doesn't happen again in the future."
SN: How about if she were the Dodgers' general manager?
MILANO: I would have probably made the decision to go with the youth movement at the beginning of the season. And I probably would have traded for a power batter in the offseason. It's been a while since we've had a slugger, and that definitely was needed this year.
SN: What position would you play?
MILANO: I think I would be a shortstop because I'm fast on my feet and I have a good arm. But not too good. I could never be in the outfield. I would need like four cutoff guys if I were an outfielder.
SN: There are a couple of guys like that in the majors now, aren't there?
MILANO: Yep, there are. And some of them are on the Dodgers.
SN: Alright, now my editor is making me ask this, so here goes: In baseball right now, who's the boss?
MILANO: Who's the boss in baseball right now? Probably A-Rod.
SN: You make any predictions on the World Series yet?
MILANO: The great thing about baseball is you never know what's going to happen, so I never really make predictions, but the Rockies do kind of remind me of the Marlins in 2003.
SN: Tell me a bit about your blog.
MILANO: It's a great outlet for me creatively. I sort of look at it as when I have spare time, which is fleeting, it's a way to get things down and have some sort of creative process. I usually try to get something down by Thursday or Friday and then just not look at it for a day, then on Sunday sort of review it and make revisions and submit it Sunday night to be posted.
SN: Your clothing line has really taken off, hasn't it?
MILANO: Being a Dodger season-ticket holder for the past four years, I had a really hard time finding clothes that fit my body and showed the colors that supported the team. I figured obviously there was a market out there for it because clearly, I wasn't the only chick wishing something would fill that void.
SN: Tell me the first thing that pops into your mind with these people. First, Vin Scully.
MILANO: Comfort
SN: Roberto Clemente
MILANO: Compassion
SN: Tony Danza
MILANO: Youth
SN: Russell Martin
MILANO: Fire
Alyssa Milano on ...
... baseball
"Like any good relationship, baseball taught me about myself and the world. As a teenager, I'd go to games whenever my schedule allowed. If I couldn't physically be there, I listened on the radio. Vin Scully's voice is as soothing to me as my own father's."
... Dodgers manager Grady Little
"With his constant shifting, he got a divided clubhouse with a 'may the best man win' attitude. I have heard many times that Grady is a players manager. If this is true, then how did he let this clubhouse fiasco get so far as to have players slam their teammates in the press? And, by the way, Jeff Kent: People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
... Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente
"He is my favorite all-time baseball player, not only for his baseball talent but also because he understood the importance of community spirit and giving back. He was one of the first athletes to use his name and voice to influence good in the world and create awareness through his compassion."
... Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's record
"I sat with my dad and watched a game that I could care less about, while a man I have no compassion for broke a record in the sport I love, and I truly felt nothing. No tears of joy. No goose bumps. Not even anger. Nothing. At least it's over."
