Writer bio

I am a 25-year-old aspiring baseball writer. I grew up to stories of Willie Mays, the Miracle Mets and the Bronx Zoo from my father. Although my playing days never amounted to much, baseball has always remained my passion. I moved to Boston from the midwest and have come to both enjoy and loathe the hype and hysteria of living in the heart of Red Sox Nation. The Twins are my team, a result of being born and raised in Iowa and attending college in Minnesota. Although I'd consider myself a baseball fan first and foremost and a Twins fan second. If you're ever in the mood to talk baseball, or any sport for that matter, you can drop me a line or leave a comment on my blog.

I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, aka, Titletown, USA. People not from Green Bay have no idea what it's like to live and die with a team like Green Bay does with the Packers. It really is unlike any other situation in all of sports.

I moved to Milwaukee in January 2005. I have been a Milwaukee Brewers season ticket holder since.

In 2007, I started writing for a small baseball site that has since ceased to exist. I moved on to MVN in July 2007. I started to get quite a good following over there. I now write for Sportsbubbler.com which is a fan site for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I was also convinced by a few writers here that I should give Bleacher Report a try as well.

Like most of you, I'm a huge sports nut. My favorite teams don't need to be playing for me...

I am a 25-year-old journalist and Mets fan living in Brooklyn, having moved from England in June 2009.

I am obsessed with baseball, basketball, New York sports and statistics.

I am excited to report that I am no longer set for another season of sleepless nights in front of the computer watching internet streams of sports games happening 2,500 miles away from me when I have to be at work a mere few hours after they conclude.

This summer I married my beautiful fiancee Lisa, and now I have the daunting task of trying to move all of our belongings into our new apartment.

I studied for my BA (hons) in journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in England and at SUNY Plattsburgh in upstate New York.

For the last three years I worked as a journalist at a weekly newspape...

I am a journalism student at Loyola University Chicago. I am a junior, and have been a Cubs fan since 1997. I'm engaged, to an incredible woman named Maria, which should probably have been the first thing I wrote but which I'm sure is less important to all of you than to me.

I envision myself as both a writer and a baseball analyst, and am committed to writing only articles that are well-researched and thought-provoking. I'm trying to be objective and to treat issues regarding my Cubbies with cool restraint, but you'll find that at heart, I'm a pretty unabashed homer.

Lewie Pollis is a brilliant, witty, and exceptionally handsome high school senior from outside of Cleveland, Ohio.

An Indians fan since before he can remember, Lewie adopted the Red Sox as his second-favorite team in 2003 because it was an effective outlet through which to channel his hatred for the Yankees.

He got his first subscription to Baseball Weekly when he was four. As early as his T-ball days, Lewie would sit in the dugout and mentally calculate his teammates' batting averages while he waited to bat. While he no longer plays the actual sport in an organized league, he is an incredible fantasy baseball player. Someday Lewie will be GM of a major league team--unless he becomes President.

In addition to reading and writing about baseball, Lewie spends his time reading Wat...

I live in West Virginia and love to talk baseball. I am always ready to express my views and will not back down from a debate about sports. I was Old School before it became trendy. My favorite teams are the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Redskins. I love baseball, football, college basketball, boxing, UFC.

If you want, leave a post and I will read your article and offer a comment.

I am an independent investment professional who likes sabermetrics (baseball science) because of its similarity to analyzing stocks: download numbers onto an Excel spreadsheet and try to "mine" the data.

In the investment field, I am the author of "A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing," (Wiley, 2004) and predicted the 2008 stock market crash.

In late August, 1951, I went home to watch Flash Gordon on New York's channel 11, but I was disappointed. There was a baseball game on channel 11. I started to watch, and that was it. I became a Yankees' fan.

We have many roles in our lives, but we are told that we are individuals and that our baseball team is not us. To each her own. Few things besides family ever came before the Yankees. One can agree or disagree, but one cannot deny I had the right to that choice.

I received my doctorate from NYU in science education in 1968. I remember during one of my final conferences with my advisor, the Yankees beat the Angels 1-0 on a Frank Fernandez home run.

I taught at various levels, ranging from graduate school to junior high school for 39 years. I always enjoyed writi...

Dan is a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with an A.B. in political science. He is currently an intern with Baseball Prospectus and is endlessly interested by the ongoing debate about the utility of Quality Starts as a metric. He hopes to begin a position in Player Evaluation and Development this winter, bringing his Sabermetric perspective and vast analytical toolbox to the major leagues.

Failing that, Dan has a chance to pursue journalism further, having accepted an offer of admission at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. The jury is still out on whether he'll attempt to cover politics or sports.

"no longer riding on the merry-go-round...I just had to let it go."
- John Lennon

I admit I used to play the game where I was focused on moving up the ladder at B/R, trying my best to be the top writer and all that. But now I no longer pimp my articles, or look for websites to artificially increase readership, and I'm satisified writing what I want and not some nonsence just to attract reads.

Yep, I spent about a year ranked #1 in MLB and the Cubs, and was ranked as high as #2 overall on the site at one time. These days, I am happy simply contributing to the site and allowing others to take the mantle.

I think I am still the Chicago Cubs community leader, and I know I am a featured columnist for the Cubs and Bears. I have written more than 500 articles, though I ca...

To the left is a picture of me near the top of Mt. Lemmon -- the only location of snow in Tucson, Arizona.

Currently in high school, I run cross-country and track (one-mile and two-mile). I have a deep love for all Minnesota sports, but I have a deeper love for my Creator, Jesus Christ. I believe that I am saved by grace, through faith in Christ alone. I hope to bring you entertaining and relevant articles while I rant on whichever Minnesota sport happens to be struggling.

I recently came closer to Mexico when I moved to Tucson, Arizona, but moved farther away from my Minnesota sports.

No, I don't limit my interests to Minnesota sports. I love all sports, but I tend to gravitate towards baseball. I will try to find peace with Arizona fans and maybe pick up a team or three.

Scott Eisenlohr

I am a former writer for The Press of Atlantic City and covered high school sports, some college and a couple of pro boxing events during my 23-year career. In my career, I have covered high school and college playoff games, working next to guys like Bob Brookover and Mark Narduci, both of the Philadelphia Inquirer. I switched careers and now cook for a living. I am a four-for-four Philly guy and like the Phillies first, Eagles second, Flyers, then Sixers. The order can change depending on how the seasons run. Now that the Phillies have won a second World Series, the rest of the team are on the clock. It is probably why there is more pressure on the Eagles than ever before. I can be reached at Eisenhicks@aol.com.

I'm a 24-year-old graduate of Cal State University, Fullerton. I graduated with my B.A. in Communications and am dying to get into the journalism industry. Writing is an art form to me, and making a career by lending my voice to either the entertainment or sports industries would be a dream.

I'm a SoCal boy and baseball is my game. I've been an Angels fan for as long as I can remember, but I also follow the rest of the major sports as well. I've even come to appreciate the purity of college football, though the popularity of other college sports remains a mystery.

I could not imagine a better place for an aspiring journalist to be than here at B/R. They say if you do what you love, it'll never feel like work to you, and that is exactly how I feel here. I could not ask for more ou...

As the passion became a career quest, I realized I lost some innocence and spark to my writing. With that being decided upon, my mission has reverted back. I no longer write as a career goal, simply for the love of writing and the love of the sport. Simply a husband, a Dad and a passionate Sox fan who loves to write. I like it better like this.

At the end of the game, the kings and the pawns go in the same box. However, if I have the choice, I'd prefer to be a king.

Red Sox fan since May, 1967, when I attended my first game against the Minnesota Twins. Camped out at Fenway Park on seventeen occasions for tickets... the longest such adventure was in October, 1986, when I camped parkside for 5 1/2 days for World Series tickets (got tickets to all three games!). I started blogging about my beloved Red Sox in 2002... started my website (www.sox1fan.com) in the summer of 2004. Just recently, sox1fan.com enjoyed it's 10 millionth hit. I was invited to be one of the 'regular guys' in the Boston edition of last year's "Baseball As America" exhibit.

I am an Iona College Alum and currently looking into going after a Masters in either journalism or public communications and media.

I have been raised as a Yankee fan since I was a little kid, but I truly fell in love with them when they produced what was, in my opinion, the greatest team to ever take the field: the 1998 team. I was 10 years old when the Yanks swept the Padres in the World Series. Since then, I have followed their every move, along with moves throughout the rest of Major League Baseball.

In addition, I hold a great interest in the National Football League, as well.

My history with sports dates back to about the mid 90s; going to games at Tiger Stadium in its last days of operation, cheering on Grant Hill when he played for the Pistons, watching the great Red Wing teams that transformed Detroit into Hockeytown, USA. Detroit is a great sports town; I've seen a lot of special things and cheered on some great athletes like Steve Yzerman, Chauncey Billups, and Magglio Ordonez among many others.

Along with movies and music, sports is one of my greatest passions. I root for the Tigers, Pistons, and Wings to this day, but have become more of an objective thinker as I've gotten older.

I'll try my best to find interesting topics to discuss.
