The honor of being my first interview, but not first posted, is my good friend Joe Miglioretto or “Mig” as we affectionately call him. Mig is the Video Coordinator for the San Francisco Giants in Salem/Keizer. Norm: Mig, first of all thanks for allowing me to ask you a few questions. Please tell us a little more…
Norm: I had the chance to ask Bobby Haney a few questions. Bobby was a 22nd round draft pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2010 out of the University of South Carolina.
