Årets Nyförvärv Del 7

Del 7 i Årets Nyförvärv, där vi får träffa Max!

Kan du berätta lite om dej själv? Vart kommer du ifrån och hur länge har du spelat baseball?


My name is Max Meijer, I'm nearly 32 years old. I'm Dutch/American, living in Sweden for almost 2 years now. I've come to Sweden as a love refugee. After a 6 year long distance relationship i decided to move up and live together with my Swedish girlfriend whom, I'm happy to say, is now my wife.

Vad fick dej att börja spela baseball?


Being born in the States, my brother started playing little league baseball and i just wanted to do what he did. (It was end of the 80's, and we live close to Oakland, that explains my fandom for the A's). So been playing all my life basically, played 11 years with Domstad Dodgers in Utrecht during my university year and first working life. The team was great fun, a real group of friends and we did some special things. Last two years i played w Uppsala as i moved up there first. Now my wife and i moved to Solna so I'm happy to join Sumpan, as I'm keen to keep playing!

Vad har du för position, och vad har du för personliga mål med säsongen?


I consider myself a second baseman, but i love playing short stop as well. My goal for this year is getting to know the team, have fun, and contribute where i can.

Vad tycker du om laget som Heat har än så länge i år? Vad har du för förväntningar på laget?


My first, and limited, impressions are very positive. A great group of guys, with lots of young talent that form the heart of the club going forward. As i have no idea on the competition, cant really say what the expectations are. Most important though is that the team plays to its capabilities and keeps on improving. Then for sure a title will come some day.

Har du något mer du vill säga till våra fans?


Not much, i just hope we can have some great days at the field together! Go Sumpan!
