Matt's Bio

Hey Im Matt i love to be called M.Foote or just Foote. Or even Footes. Some guys call me Otter. Long story about poems. Im 14. I became an Eagle Scout at the age of 12, and am currently one of the youngest EVER to obtain this glorious award. I have tasted a Habenero Pepper(very very hot). I pulled a muscle in my arm while taking Algebra test. I pretty much do whatever is possible. I just go with the flow, yet am a hardworker.

I'd love to be a sports writer or a proffesional baseball player or just a job were i get to work in or around Baseball. If that didn't work out i would also like to be a Senator.

I don't have a twitter. Don't see why I have to.

I have met Ken Reitz a former golden glove winner and All Star for the St.Louis Cardinals while at my Junior High School's Career Fair. I carried out a conversation on why the Cardinals were the best team in baseball. This is why I missed out on going to the paramedics booth and ruled that out as a career choice(I really didn't want to be one). Pretty good day that was.

During 2007 Spring Training(thanks mom and dad) I had the privlage to go down to see a few games. I was So Taguchis biggest fan! I had his Rookie Card signed after a half hour wait. Then I had my jersey floating over the edge of the railing and some TV cameras focused on it and I belive I was on TV! Haha anyway So signed it. Happiest day of my life.

On the same day as above some great Cardinals walked by in front of us. Lou Brock signed a few then just touched stuff(I don't know why). Then after a few more players(Chris Narveson. got his. Chris Carpenter. almost got his. to name a few.) Bob Gibson walked by and he signed my hat. I was so giddy! It was like geez I got Gibson, Brock touched it. Were is Musial to cap it of? Of course he was at home in St.Louis most likely.

Once again on the same day I got to go to some "exclusive" autograph party. Anthony Reyes, Aaron Miles, John Rodriguez, and Tony Larussa were there. Got all their autographs as well. All on a baseball. And Reyes on his baseball card. I just had a lucky day then didn't I?

I became an editor on 07/05/09 at 11:50 PM (Central time) to fill the void when I have nothing to write about.

Greatest question ever: " Has a Cardinal ever sold his sole to the Devil to become a Pope?"

The Cardinals did great this postseason. I don't think Holliday will want to come back after that play in the outfield.

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.

Check out this article. It's not mine but it rules anyway. It provides evidence that exposes the NY Yankees for the human garbage that they are.

Hey. As a fellow Cardinals fan, I'd love if you could take a look at my newest article! Be sure to vote in the poll.
I saw your article "2009=2006" and have come up with my own! Not too shabby if I say so myself.

With Danny Granger having his best season last year, can he live up to expectations coming into the 2009-10 season with his beloved Indiana Pacers?

Looking for a good laugh?

NY Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain is a ridiculous, clown pig who people laugh at!

Now sit back, relax, and mock this miserable lump of human pork as you watch my slideshow:

Hey Matt,

Thought you'd be interested in my latest article. It's similar to the one about the Pirates that you seemed to like.

Hi Matt
A few days ago Buck Showalter of ESPN revealed his plan for realigning MLB. I analyze it and critique it. I would very much like your opinion.
Thanks
