Shorthandedby2's Bio

I have enjoyed writing a few articles. I have learned a lot in the short time I have been here. Not on writing better, but about sports, especially baseball. I graduated from Penn State, I am a fan of the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. Fantasy football has broadened my range of teams I follow depending on what players I have.
I respect and appreciate great athletic performances whether they are my favorite athletes or not.

Also, I have enjoyed reading other writers that are not "pro" Pittsburgh. After all it is the "Passion" of competition that is the real sport. Different teams and individuals battling for victory while we watch for the "not yet determined" outcome. And that is why they play the games.

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

The SEC West is extremely crowded. I've posted the first two in a series of three articles on a revised look at the front runners.

I tried to be objective and left my 'colored' glasses in the case, please take a look if you've got a minute and let me know how I did!

I hope you 'like' it!

Hi SH
Should the Baseball Hall of Fame concern itself with off-the-field antics? I say no, what is your opinion?
