About

Illya Harrell is a retired grocery store bag boy.

He wishes that he had never quit little league baseball because he is confident that he would have been the next Billy Jo Robidoux.

When not obsessing over what might have been, Illya enjoys watching baseball, thinking about baseball, reading baseball articles and books, writing baseball articles, playing fantasy league baseball, and replaying the 1986 baseball season on an obscure baseball board game.

Other hobbies include college football and drinking bubbly water.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Riggo, Renee Montgomery, Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Junior, Eric Davis, Mario Soto, Rickey Henderson, Sean Casey, Atanasio Perez, Pennington & Leftwich & Moss, Skip Henderson, Barry Larkin, Art Monk, Patrick Patterson

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Reds, The Non-Daniel Snyder Owned Washington Redskins, and The Thundering Herd of Marshall University

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bryan Price, Joe Gibbs, Bobby Pruett, Rick Huckabay,Rick Sweet

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    That Russian dude beating the U.S. men's team by shooting a length-of-the-courter in the '72 or '68 Olympics.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    RFK Stadium with the bleachers literally bouncing up and down while watching Art Monk catch the pass that briefly gave him the all-time reception record. Some guy named Rice eventually ended up with more caught balls than Monk.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Throwing three no-hitters in a row seems impossible at the major league level. So I am going with Johnny Vander Meer's back-to-back no-no's. Someone may tie it someday. But to break that record would be super human.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    I'd rather hang with Willie.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Joe.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Bill Russell -- NO DOUBT! Jordan would annoy the daylights out of me.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    The Gret One

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Madonna. I can look past the fact that she dated A-Rod.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federera (cool hats)

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger is possibly the least interesting human being on the planet. So I would much rather hang with Jack.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Lori Petty was awesome in 'Tank Girl'.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher, I've never heard of the other jockey.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    SEC (Baseball & Football), Big East (Basketball)

    Cool, man. I'm glad to hear you liked my work. Two guidelines I've always used on semicolons: 1) On both sides of the semicolon, are there sentences/clauses that could work independently?; 2) Is the subject matter of those two clauses related?

    In my experience, the most clear examples of semicolon use allow you to change the order of the two clauses without losing the original meaning.

    Anyway, keep writing. You're good.

    Hello.

    I see your still doing your thing. Cool. I am not sure if you remember me?

    Joseph Jove.

    I remember what a big admirerer of Prez Wilson you are... or were.

    How is Wilson's legacy working out for you... Or us?

    The Federal Reserve?

    Just saying.

    Be well!

    Hey, where'd you get the photo you used in your article Cincinnati Reds: Besides Joey Votto, Who Do These Guys Think They Are? Have looked around to try to get a copy, but I can't seem to find one. As I sit here typing this, Janish and Gomes just pulled off a textbook suicide squeeze. Wow! Let me know where I might get a copy of that photo. Thanks, Bill
