About Joel »

My name is Joel and I am 20 years old. I'm currently in college and I am an aspiring sports writer. I work for my local paper covering high school sports, but I have not gotten to do anything in the way of opinion articles so hopefully this website can be an outlet for my many sports opinions. Also, I am a die-hard Cubs fan as hard as it is on me.

Pass this on to any Sox fan you know. Jacoby Ellsbury is a bright spot on the Red Sox' roster. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/290160-scouting-report-jacoby-ellsbury?just_published=1

Hi Joel

Should the Baseball Hall of Fame concern itself with off-the-field antics? I say no, what is your opinion?

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.
