About Cliff »

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.
