Big League Stew’s in-house Q&A expert, David Brown, has landed my dream interviewee for his latest segment of Answer Man –  Mr. NQA himself, Shane Victorino.

Do yourself a favor and hurry over there to read the whole thing.  It’s lengthy, but it’s jam packed with entertaining nuggets.  Believe it or not, Phillies hopeful Marcus Giles almost stole the show from our fast-talking Hawaiian centerfielder.  He even dropped a fucking Stripes reference!  Here’s a preview:

David Brown: How long would it take to swim from Waikiki Beach to Penn’s Landing?

Shane Victorino: I don’t think I’d make it.

DB: If the NL East were settled by a surfing contest instead of baseball, could you carry the Phillies?

SV: Oh, no questions asked. [Ed Note: BINGO!] I don’t know how to surf; I’ll figure it out, though.

DB: You don’t surf?

SV: I got some ocean behind me but surfing, nah, I don’t surf.

DB: How come you’ve never been on a board?

SV: Because I play my sports on land.

Marcus Giles: I surf and rarely wear underwear.

DB: (Nice “Stripes” reference) Is that a fact, Jack? But you’re not from Hawaii.

MG: I’m from San Diego!

SV: (Simultaneously) He’s from San Diego. Next closest thing to surfing in Hawaii.

Here’s *my* favorite part:

DB: When are you going to run into a fence face-first like Aaron Rowand?

SV: When? Opening day, if I have to.

I fucking love this guy.
