Hello Geoff

My name is Nathan Smith and I am a huge fan of Australian baseball

Over the past few years I have developed my blog
OzMLBplayers.com
and I write there occasionally about interesting developments and news in Australian baseball

I was hoping you might be able to help me out with arranging a short interview with Brett

Given that the 2013 World Baseball Classic is coming up, I got to looking at Australia's previous campaigns
Brett's performance at the 2009 tournament is simply "jaw dropping"
and I'd love to write a blog post telling some of the story from his perspective

I'd also be interested to hear his thoughts on how the team will fare this time round

I understand that, like everyone, Brett probably has a lot on and not a lot of spare time
But if he is willing and able to spend half an hour or so having a chat over the phone this week,
I think his experiences from the 2009 WBC would be a very interesting story to tell

Thanks for taking the time to read my email, and I hope to hear back from you soon

Warm regards ... Nathan

Hi Geoff

I ended up having a quick chat with Brett, and he helped me out with some great answers to my questions

I am now working up a little story
Would you be happy for me to use some of the images from your website, and also include some links to it ??
It really is a 'treasure trove' of some great info ... are you ok with that ??

Thanks ... Nathan
