Ian's Bio

I've enjoyed the many highs and lows of being a Blue Jays fan for 15+ years. To this day, I still reminisce about that chilly night in October when Joe Carter made my childhood dreams come true.

When I'm not catching the game on TV or the radio, I'm blogging about it at http://www.bluejayhunter.com .

After taking a few months off while I got settled at my new college, I am happy to be writing for B/R again. Here is my first in a series on the Top MLB players at each position of the 2000's...this one is catchers, take a look when you get a chance.

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

Hey Ian,

The 2B Silver Slugger is Aaron Hill's to lose, but will he get snubbed? Why he (and others) are better than Dustin Pedroia...

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.

I enjoyed my conversation with you about Girardi yesterday, Ian.

I figured you would like my take on who will win the World Series this year. Hint, it's not the Yankees, and let's hope I am right.
