travis's Bio

I am 23 years old and a recent graduate of the University of Nevada Las Vegas where is studied print and broadcast journalism. Since i was 16 years old i have had a great interest in sports journalism and would love nothing more than to have a long career in the field.

I spent the first 18 years of my life living in Orange County then came out to Las Vegas for school. I was raised to love all Southern California sports with the Exception of USC. Lakers, Angels, Ducks, Chargers, UCLA and sparing support for the Dodgers.

With each big name that is leaked to steroid use, America's most hated player is slowly becoming its most trusted. The biggest names in baseball are falling subject to steroid use.

Just glad to be of assistance, and I'll have to take your suggestion under advisement (though he had Mark Holton (Chubby) to carry a lot of the load...)

Have a great day!
