Joey Paciorek Profiled

The PC has this profile of Timber Rattlers infielder Joey Paciorek.

Q: Milwaukee Bucks guard Luke Ridnour also grew up in Blaine, Wash. Know him?

A: I met him. His dad was actually my PE teacher in high school. Yeah, they've got his whole shrine at the high school. Real big deal. He's really the first pro athlete to come out of there.

Q: Word is, had baseball not worked out, you were interested in becoming a firefighter. True?

A: Yeah, there was just some interest and it's a real respectable job. I couldn't do a desk job. Just kind of caught my eye. I was going to go to (college) and do a fire science course and play baseball.
