Got a minute? Grant Balfour

By MARC TOPKIN
Published August 5, 2007

What do you miss most about your native Australia?

Family, and the beaches.

Your perfect meal?

Usually Thai food, let's say chicken.

Your go-to karaoke song?

It'd be something from AC/DC, probably off TNT (the Australian band's second album) or Back in Black.

First car?

A Holden Calais, it's like a Chevy Lumina maybe.

Dream date?

Let me think, what's her name ... she's dated (Derek) Jeter a few times ... Jessica Biel. And see what you can do about getting her a copy of this so she'll know.
