About Numan »

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,

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
