A clip from the Wally Backman RV Interview. In this clip, Wally explains that Peanuts OF Chris Demons and 2B Steve Garrabrants remind him of himself.

"My style was to play the game hard, play it to win everyday. I knew that I had to give 100% or I wasn't gonna be on the field. I've tried to instill that to my players [to say] that, "this is the way it's gotta be." - Wally Backman
