Self Gloss: Only two words can describe my softball skillz: "UTILITY & MAN" I suppose I can play any position on the field. Although my pitching is questionable and Im not necessarily an ideal 1B (don't throw too high!). I would prefer to play INF cause I don't have to run so much, especially at 2B, but I do enjoy playing the OF as long as the other team doesnt hit the ball to me. As far as the hitting goes nobody will ever confuse me with a big power hitter, but I just try and hit above .600 and be on base for the top of the lineup and score lots of runs. When needed I can sack up and hit a fly ball deep enough for a Sac Fly. Every HR I have ever hit (all 3 of them) has been a line drive over the drawn in RF or a line drive that the LF lets go over his head, but hey, who's counting? I guess my best asset is my speed, but that doesnt mean much if I cant get on or if I cant steal bases. I do have the oft-talked about, not often seen, "intangibles". I am a winner. Jeff Brown and I have led our softball to the last 2 IFC and IM championships at UCLA (currently ranked # IMs in the nation by SI). So we are obviously the best IM team in the nation by that (arguably faulty) logic. You can all shake our hands at the next game for that huge feat. Other special skills: Am a "good guy" (as dubbed by Romero himself), and can keep a spotless scorebook but I refuse to give people hits on errors (sorry).

Personal Notes: Farias is a throw back to the old school days. A gritty hard nosed player willing to get his jersey dirty for the win. He's a gutty player with a boat lload of potential. He currently is attending UCLA graduate school in the Engineering department. He wants to design freeways and toilets one day. One of his downsides is the fact this man owns no car. Dammit. He is a NoCal native, and is a die-hard 49ers and Athletics fan. He enjoys the bowling. He once knew a man from Nantucket. Lastly, he hopes one day to be reunited on the field with his good friend W. He does not own any Jim Barr "Hey Lady, Sup?" gear.

Madden Cruiser Highlights:Pinch ran for Dan Romero in loser's bracket finals of ASA' gloves tournament. Scored a run. Also kept a spotless scorebook.
