Joel's Bio

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.

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.

Between the Mets, Red Sox, and Billy Wagner, there is something for everybody ... but not if they keep letting demands get in the way. Please check out my column if you have a chance. Thanks!

Hey Joel,

Ellis Burks... Jim Edmonds... Luis Gonalez? These three deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?!?! Yes, if Jim Rice does.

Many people might not actually know about pole-vaulting queen, Yelena Isinbayeva, but she has been one of the most dominant athletes the world has seen in recent times. She finally lost at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin recently, which was a complete shock. Here's a recap on that -

I will be extremely obliged if u can give it a read.

Thanks :)
