About

Hello all,
My name is Wayne Baker and I love writing about sports. I grew up in town called Yellow Springs, the home of comedian Dave Chappelle and the great hippie college Antioch. The town is a haven for artists and you tend to find your voice quickly there. I always loved writing and getting the scoop. I used to imitate Howard Cosell and my junior high classmates loved asking me who would win the big game.
