Most influential person in my baseball life: “Besides my coaches and teammates, my father (Frankie Sam) has been a great influence for me. He has worked hard with me ever since I was a young boy. He has taught me about hard work, technique and good practice skills. We spend a lot of time working out, practicing and talking baseball together.”

Good genes: TJ’s father (Frankie Sam) always enjoyed competitive sports, played cricket and sports with his friends in St. Vincent. When he came to Canada he participated in Tae Kwon Do from 1982-1987.

What they are saying: “In batting practice, he pulls everything ... and with power. but in the game -- the games I have seen -- he usually goes the other way. And I’ve seen him clear the fence in right. His arm is plays at third. “ _ Pro scout.

“The question I have … is does he have anough power to play third base?” _ American League scout.

“In some ways he is similaar to Daniel Pinero (Toronnto, Ont.( in the Tigers system …. lots of base hits, not lots of power.” _ Scouting director.
