About Rudolph »

Sports have been a part of my life since I ran cross country in third grade. I played baseball, football, soccer, street hockey, basketball whatever. I'm not saying I was an all-star athlete but I had fun and learned to use my talent for writing to feed my sports addiction. My first love is baseball but during a 2004 trek through Europe I witnessed Euro Cup 04'. I had played soccer in grade school and high school but never had I enjoyed it so much. Finally I started to understand "The Beautiful Game" It's not about the score or the action. It's about grace, skill and millimeters.

Hey Rudolph, I just posted a new piece on the Ramirez-Beckett deal from three years ago. I think you will find it interesting.

Thanks for the attaboy on one of my Dolphins pieces this week. Just FYI, the Herald cut me loose a month ago. Looks like B/R will be my outlet while I figure out what the marketplace holds.
