About

I love baseball and just picked up an interest in writing again. The Oakland Athletics' green and gold pump through my veins. I will always be an Athletic's fan, but I admit the Giants have grown on me. If there is anything you think I missed or something you want me to talk about, please don't be afraid to send me an email at shebnumi@gmail.com. I will do my best to answer all requests.

    Hey Numan,

    During the offseason I've been writing articles on the best baseball players of all time, based around the MLB 9s concept that MLB.com had fans voting on throughout the season.

    I thought you'd be interested in the Oakland A's piece.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Ash

    Hey Numan,

    I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
