Griffin's Bio

My name's Griffin, I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I live in Seattle, and to be honest, don't have any intention of ever leaving for an extended period of time.
Sports are a huge part of my life, both indirectly and directly. I would like nothing more than to 1 day be a professional sports writer.
I played baseball for 10 years until recently, and I play varsity tennis for my high school. I'm a die hard Mariners fan, and have been since I was old enough to be, even through the miserable times of 2004-2006, and of course 2008. Liking our chances this year though.
I'm also a Seahawks fan, but I really don't have the football expertise necessary to write about them, or even to talk about them in detail. Baseball is my sport, and really always has been.
I won't bore you with all the details of my life, so I'll just suffice to say that I hope you like my articles!

Or check out my Mariners blog at http://sodomojo.com

Also, I support saber metrics, and generally try to incorporate them into most of my articles. I strongly suggest checking out http://www.fangraphs.com if you're unfamiliar with them.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Hi Griffin! Check this out, thanks.

The pennant races might seem tight in the AL Central, but the Tigers clearly have the leverage.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!
