Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix recently sat down with MLB.com for an exclusive interview to discuss everything from his vision for the organization to his favorite TV shows (“Breaking Bad,” “The Wire” and “Better Call Saul”). Part 1 | Part 2

Here is the conclusion of the three-part series, in which we learn more about the man behind the glasses.

MLB.com: What’s a fun fact about you?
Bendix: I went to the same high school as Jason and Travis Kelce. That’s my go-to.

MLB.com: Did you ever cross paths with them?
Bendix: I lived down the street from them in my first house, like one block over. [Jason and I] walked to school together I want to say in like first grade.

MLB.com: Did you ever want to be a baseball player, and then there was a point when you were like, ‘You know, it's not going to…’?
Bendix: I played every sport. I was always reasonably OK at every sport. I was never good enough to harbor any kind of ambitions of playing even in college, except for tennis. I considered trying to play tennis in college, but [I] ended up picking [a school] based on other things instead.

MLB.com: What’s your favorite memory? It doesn’t have to be baseball.
Bendix: You're going to roll your eyes, but it's true. I remember on the first date with my wife, [Lauren], I was sitting in a restaurant called Iberian Rooster in St. Pete, and I was there before she was. So I remember her walking in the door. We had met online and texted back and forth and set up drinks. [It was] the first time I had seen or met her in person.

MLB.com: Where’s your favorite place you’ve been?
Bendix: My favorite city in the world is London. I lived there for a year in college, my junior year, and then I've been back once with Lauren, maybe four years ago. I just love experiencing new places.

MLB.com: Did you have a football team that you supported?
Bendix: Charlton Athletic. They were in the Premier League for a while, but they got relegated the year I was a supporter. I went to, I want to say, six or seven matches. They were in [Southeast] London. They were like outskirts of London. "The Valley," it was called, because all of their stadiums have names that are cool. I swear I saw two goals over six or seven matches. I think they [earned a draw] once, and there was like a 10-year-old or 12-year-old in the seats behind me in his British accent yelling, "You guys are going to get relegated!" He was a supporter. But now, it's a cliché, but I truly like the storylines. I don't really care who wins. I generally root for whoever is the underdog, but I just really enjoy the storylines.

MLB.com: If you could be one person dead or alive for a day, who would it be?
Bendix: I'd love to know what it's like to be LeBron James, probably because I have so much respect for him because [of] the Cleveland thing, the crazy physicality and athleticism, combined with the way that he appears to think and the person that he is. Like, all those things in one. My high school basketball team -- I wasn't on it, I watched and tallied stats -- played in a tournament where his team was playing, too, so I knew LeBron before he was big.
