Foster played in 39 games in the 2009 season that fell a hair short of the college world series. Teddy batted .321 with 25 RBI’s and 7 home runs. Our friends at Gator Sports Nation had the chance to do some Q & A recently:
GSN: What were your fondest memories at UF?
TF: The bond I had with all the guys, all the different guys I became close with, I still talk to a lot of the older guys. Anytime we beat Miami or FSU was always a good memory haha, the walk off hit this year against Bethune will always stay with me.GSN: Did anybody ever give you any nicknames while at UF?
TF: Some of the fans call me wheels because I was 4-4 at stolen bases last year and 3-4 this year.
GSN: What was the point behind your intro/walk up song?
TF: I didn’t think I was going to play much last year, so I picked a song I thought would be funny if I actually got up to bat a lot, and sure enough I played a lot last year so i just kept it for this year. I actually changed it the last series of the year (Kentucky) and I got booed my first at bat, haha. I was shocked when I came up my 2nd at bat with the new walk out song I got booed again I hit a HR my first at bat with the new song.
GSN: How did it feel reaching the super regionals this year?
TF: Obviously that was a great accomplishment, not having done that since my freshman year, but we still feel like we let a golden opportunity go. we got outplayed, no doubt about it.
GSN: What do you plan on doing now since you graduated from UF?
TF: I enrolled in grad school this past spring and i’ll finish that up next summer and then look to get into baseball somehow, either working for a MLB club or coaching or something.
GSN: Who was the most influential person in your life?
TF: Gotta be my parents, they supported me in baseball and paid for travel/AAU ball, made it easy for me to be successful.
