Soo I just stumbled upon this interview with Grady from April 18, 2006.. It was on CBS sports website.. I don't recall ever coming across this interview & I though a couple of his responses were quite funny & pretty adorable.. Enjoy LADIES!

Childhood Heroes: "I always looked up to my dad (Grady). But I guess I never had like a hero where I idolized guys."

Nicknames: "Not really. Anything with G, like G, G-Size. Most people just call me Grady. G-something or anything you want to come up with."

Hobbies/Interests: "When I'm not playing ball I like to relax, I like to hang out with friends, video games, watch movies. I like going to the beach, the water."

Favorite Movies: "Tough question. I don't know. I don't really have a favorite."

Favorite TV Show: "Probably That '70s Show."

Musical Tastes: "The Doors."

First Job: "Baseball."

First Car: "Chevy Blazer. (Color?) Black."

Early Baseball Memory: "The first professional game I ever played (in Bradenton's Gulf Coast League) was 18 innings, and about 5 ½ hours was probably my first memory: A long day [laughs]."

Favorite Meal: "Can't go wrong with steaks, always nice."

Favorite Breakfast Cereal: "Hmmm ... you're catching me off-guard with all these. I love cereal too ... probably Raisin Bran I eat the most. Probably Raisin Bran Crunch."

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: "Cherry Garcia."

Pre-Game Feeling: "Just relax. Just be focused. Try to clear my head. Make sure I'm prepared to get into the game and go from there. Get ready to go out there."

Greatest Sports Moment: "Major League debut -- right now. Yeah, that's probably it. At the moment."

Most Painful Moment: "Any time striking out to end the game is a painful moment. But I don't know, I haven't had too many. I don't look at failure or painful moments as devastating times in my career. You can always bounce back the next day."

Favorite Uniforms: "The basic -- maybe the Padres."

Favorite Ballparks: "I like playing in San Diego a lot. I like playing in Baltimore too. Seattle. Chicago ... maybe Yankee Stadium."

Funny Baseball Memory: "Lots of funny stuff. Nothing I can really say."

Embarrassing Baseball Memory: "I think running off the field a couple of times when there's less than two outs. So that's really embarrassing. I had my zipper down at the plate and the catcher told me that. That was a pretty funny moment (against Detroit)."

Favorite Athletes To Watch: "Bo Jackson -- my favorite athlete. Michael Vick is pretty exciting. (NBA) Ginobli is exciting to watch. Steve Nash. There's so many basketball players. Those are probably my two favorites. (MLB?) Khalil Greene is exciting to watch in the infield. Hitting-wise -- Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz. Pretty impressive hitters. I like watching them hit. (Tennis?) You can't go wrong with Sharapova, can you? Kournikova. Those two. I don't mind watching them. As far as guys, I don't know. I don't watch that much tennis. It seems like all those guys are pretty talented -- Federer, Roddick. (Boxing?) Mayweather. The first time I ever saw him fight, he was exciting. Dominating, pretty quick and powerful."

Closest Baseball Friends: "I'm pretty close with everybody on the team. But on other teams, I'm pretty close with Jason Bay of the Pirates."

Funniest Players: "Ben Broussard. Pronk. (Who's that?) Hafner. I'd say the one who makes me laugh the most on this team is Pronk."

Toughest Competitors: "Everybody's out there battling. There's tons of guys out there that battle."

Favorite Vacation Spot: "Sydney, Australia."

People Qualities Most Admired: "Honesty is a quality. Honesty and ... honesty is the one coming to mind."

So sweet that Grady's hero was his dad, that's who every boys should & i'm sure Grady Sr. is sooo proud. He loves steaks too, his response was pretty funny.. Just can't go wrong with them! Love how Grady tells the interviewer that he's catching him off guard. Come on why do you gotta bother the guy & ask him his favorite foods?! Grady I love cherry garcia, it is pretty amazing. He is pretty honest too at least he admits to having the zipper down. Wish I were the one to tell him it was down, though.. LOL! & Grady one more thing, you can take me to Australia anytime you'd like, I'll make sure I'm free!..

P.S. Seems like honesty is pretty important to G-Size.. I'm a pretty honest chick myself so I'm good to go! LOL
