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.

I hope you enjoy my four picks of the day stories:

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.

Choose Football. Choose a team. Choose a vocation. Choose a family. Choose a stadium, choose bad catering, no leg room, whingeing glory seekers and cynical die-hards. Choose wing wizardry, midfield dynamos, and twenty a season strikers. Choose fixed interest season ticket repayments. Choose your seat. Choose your friends. Choose over-priced replica kits and matching accessories. Choose a reserve team striker on loan from a range of bigger clubs.

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

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.

Hi, I'm Joe. I'm 26 years old and currently looking for a job related to the field of sports. For now I guess I'll settle for writing for Bleacher Report and my continued fandom of my various teams.

I'm a die-hard fan of Northwestern sports and the Chicago White Sox. I'm a member of N.U.T.S (Northwestern University Tailgating Society) and a White Sox season ticket holder. I seem to have a habit of missing the biggest moments for those teams as I have attended four Northwestern bowl games, excluding the Rose Bowl, and we became season ticket holders a little too late to get playoff tickets for the 2005 White Sox.

I'm also an avid follower of college basketball, as far as I'm concerned March Madness is the greatest event ever created. I also follow the Bulls, though their post-Jorda...

I'm a creative writing major at SUNY Oswego, and as journalism is no longer my thing, my writing may at times stray from typical journalistic style and end up closer to a creative essay.

I'm the featured columnist for Syracuse football here on Bleacher Report.

Sports and writing are my two passions (as well as the only two things I may at times be considered knowledgeable in), and I'm particularly passionate about my hometown Syracuse Orange. The majority of my other rooting interests are derived from my years following the Orange as well. I follow the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA and despite their having no connection to Syracuse that I'm aware of, I also love the Boston Red Sox.

My dream job would be GM of the Seattle SuperSonics. Now my dream is dead. So I will have to get Mark Cuban money, buy a team ( I don't care who) and move them back. Then I could be the Jerry Jones of the NBA. If I can't be the Sonics GM, then how about the Seahawks GM?

Thanks to Bleacher Report I have been lucky enough to have NBA, NFL, Draft and Fantasy articles appear on or linked from FOXSports.com, CBSSports.com, USAToday.com, TNT.tv (NBA on TNT Page), LA Times Fabulous Forum, NYDailyNews.com, MSG.com, Canada.com, and a handful of blogs and websites.

Dave Finocchio is a Founder of Bleacher Report and leads the Content Team.

With his aspirations of realizing a professional ping-pong career nothing more than a distant memory, Dave lives a life of regret and anguish. Some day, he hopes to reopen "Beach, Blanket, Bablyon" at the family business in San Francisco.

If all goes according to plan, Dave will launch extensive radio, billboard, and restroom flier marketing campaigns in Nebraska and Western Iowa to promote the musical. He will leverage his success to raise an army of patrons, and reclaim the Peña Adobe and greater Vacaville in the name of his Spanish ancestors.

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil which means I have been tuning into Football and F1 since I was in my mothers womb. I'm lucky enough to have grown up watching Ayrton Senna and the Brazilian national football squad push the envelope of the sports I enjoy most. It is a special feeling.

Football and F1 asside; I enjoy most other sports very much as well. I have lived in various countries throughout my life and find that sport does a great job of bringing people with big differences together to share common experiences.

I'm looking forward to having detailed and heated (yet diplomatic) discussions on a variety of subjects within various sports with all you educated sports fans on here.

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.

A simple Nascar fan from Cali trying to bring a different writing style, as well as a different perspective to our sport! I am a 25+ year fan, and have written over 750 blogs on NASCAR alone, which most of them can be found at NASCAR.com under the screen name frevr3fan. I love Saturday nights at Irwindale Speedway, which I call my second home. I’ve met alot of drivers there, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, David Gilliland, JJ Yeley, Jason Leffler, Ron Hornaday, Joey Logano just to name a few. I can be very opinionated at times, because of the high energy level that NASCAR brings out in its fans. I always try to write for the sport, without being biased towards any driver or team. Every driver deserves an equal chance, and what gives us fans the right to deny them that opportunity. I also lov...

My name is Adam Flinn. I am 18 years old and I am from Oxfordshire - the heart of British Motorsport. I am studying a journalism course at Southampton Solent University, so this website has been giving me some good practice recently.

I have been following the world of Formula 1 since about 1998-ish. Being only 7 at the time, I supported Michael Schumacher because he won a lot. However, I have stuck with Ferrari for the past eleven years, and support Felipe Massa.

I watch football occasionally as well, and support Northwich Victoria (no, not Norwich), and despite being relegated into conference north, are no longer the most useless team in the country. The vics will be back!

I also occasionally play golf, snooker, darts, anything that requires very little effort.

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.
