About Eric »

I am a senior at Mizzou from St. Louis. I'm a big Cardinals, Blues, Jacksonville Jaguars, and NASCAR fan, and a Mizzou superfan. I am one of the guys you see painted up at Mizzou games. Some of you may even recognize me. This fall will be my last semester at Mizzou, as I will be graduating in December.

Despite my major, I enjoy writing, and I like to think I've gotten fairly good at it. Who knows, maybe I'll make a career out of it.

Sporting Events for my teams I've Attended:

St. Louis Cardinals: lost count but more than 20
Missouri Football: 32 (all in my 3 years at Mizzou)
Mizzou Basketball: just under 60 (all in my 3 years at Mizzou)
Jacksonville Jaguars: 2 (both in St. Louis)
St. Louis Blues around 10
NASCAR: 30 (Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Trucks)

Hey Eric,

People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

It is not too late to make a difference!
You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

Hey Eric,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Eric,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.
