Miguel Andujar, Domingo German power RailRiders past Durham Bulls

<p><em>Mark Payton, a seventh-round draft pick by the New York Yankees out of the University of Texas in 2014, is in his first full season with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. </em><em>In 75 games heading into Saturday night&#8217;s game against the Durham Bulls, the 25-year-old outfielder was batting .265 with five home runs, 12 doubles, 30 runs scored and 21 RBI.</em></p><p>1. Chicago-style deep-dish pizza only. I refuse to try New York-style pizza.</p><p>2. I grew up playing hockey and played in a USA vs. World all-star game.</p><p>3. I&#8217;m a huge Chicago Blackhawks&#8217; fan.</p><p>4. I bought a pair of boots and learned to two-step while going to school at Texas.</p><p>5. I tried playing basketball growing up and could never shoot. I also never played a game of football in my life.</p><p>6. I love watching comedy movies. Nothing&#8217;s better than something or somebody making you laugh.</p><p>7. When I was 10 years old I threw my helmet after making an out and my parents made me clean the house with my helmet on my head.</p><p>8. I enjoy grilling in the offseason when the weather is cold and snowy.</p><p>9. I love listening to live country music and going to concerts.</p><p>10. I grew up always wanting to be a physical therapist &#8212; until I spent too much time doing therapy on my knee after surgery. Also, I don&#8217;t think I could have sat through school for another few years.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em> &#8212; Written for timesleader.com</em></p><style>
