I CHOSE DIVISION II; ALBIE SANGUILIANO

Name: Albie Sanguiliano            

School: Felician College

Major: Business Administration

Sport: Baseball

Hometown: Flemington, NJ

Why did you choose to attend Felician College? I chose Felician College because I was given a scholarship to play baseball, which was something I always wanted to do after graduating high school. Also, Felician is close enough to home so I can go home whenever I want.

Similarly, why did you choose to play athletics at the Division II level? I was always told that if I wanted to play college baseball, go somewhere where you will be a starter right away. This way you can get four years of playing time, and get the most out of the experience. I was fortunate enough to be given this chance by Coach Langan.

What is your favorite aspect of life at Felician? My favorite aspect of life at school is being able to hang out with my friends on the team, and do something other than baseball.

What are your plans after you graduate? After I graduate I plan to find a job where I will be able to save up enough money to go back to school and get a degree in professional golf management.

Hobbies: Baseball, Golf, Video Games, Music

If you could invite three people to dinner, who would they be and why?

* Tiger Woods, because he dominates his sport unlike any other athlete does in their respected sport. He is also a very good role model on and off the golf course, which is rare in professional sports nowadays.

* Will Ferrell, because I think all of his movies are hysterical and I think he would be interesting to meet.

* Kenny Chesney, because I'm a big country music fan and he's my favorite country music artist to listen to.

If you could be someone for a day, famous or not, who would you be and why?

Tiger Woods because of his work ethic, and the way he is able to deal with pressure and remain focused.

If you had free tickets to any sporting event in the world, where would you go and why?

The Super Bowl, if the Dallas Cowboys were playing in it.

If you could be the President for a day, what would you do?

I would hire Dave Schoer as my financial advisor in hopes of fixing the economy.

Who is your Role Model and why? Both of my parents are my role models. They are extremely hard working and support my brother and me in whatever we do. They've been the biggest inspiration to me in life, and I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunities they've brought my way through their hard work.

Most Exciting Sports Memory: Sitting in the fourth row behind home plate at Yankee Stadium when Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th home-run against the Kansas City Royals.
