    Background

    ImpactBB: Was just asking because I have never seen a bio on you or your staff. Yes, I would be impressed if you told me you were an MLB allstar or played in the World Series!!! But keep in mind I'm easily impressed. Thanks!

    For what it's worth, I think Andy/Impact made a great move by keeping his focus on Carolina players rather than expanding his territory. The workouts, impact-sponsored teams and tournaments should really benefit Carolina prospects and will allow him to find more players that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

    My hat's off to Andy Partin and to anyone who plays a role in helping NC players with talent and desire to play at the next level accomplish that goal!
    The efforts and support of promoters like Coach Partin using many avenues to help these kids see their dream come true should only be applauded! Thanks to anyone who in anyway big or small...an endeavor like Mr. Partin or a call or word to a college coach on behalf of a player from someone who is well-respected in the baseball community.... helps players see it on to the next level. They all come into play!

    Wow... I couldn't believe how long it has been since our last interview. We will be doing another one very soon. I expect it to be very informative and entertaining

    It's fun to read this interview. This was Andy's first on TBR back in 2004

    :handbang::handbang::handbang: probably, but this interview answers a lot of questions people ask? Like how he got started and his background. This particular year Andy grossed $18,000. He sure isn't in it strictly for the money.

    It was nice to see Kyle Shelton, who never played for Andy, and Jeremy Synan's dad chime in.

    Again, I want it to be known that I don't think Andy is in it for the wrong reasons. I've said it repeatedly that as Coach of the Dirtbags he should be concerned with getting his own players looked at, and if he does that, he's to be commended for it. I just hate when people pretend that the IMPACT tournaments give all teams an equal chance to be seen and that the IMPACT website isn't biased at all. That's all.
