About Sam »

Born in the great state of California, raised in the cold state of Connecticut. I have seen how no matter where you are in the country, sports is always there to help you get by.

There are not too many things I love more. It is a great thing for people to be so close emotionally to something that they don't have any control over. It's good for the soul.

I decided to start writing for the bleacher report, because I have so many sports conversations through out most of my days. I wanted to expand out and have other people tell me their opinions.

If you want to contact me, you can email me at almassiansam@ccsu.edu

Hey Sam,

Today I give my insight and thoughts on the American League. I award several teams and players with several different accolades. I looked at the exciting season so far in the American League and I tried to be as fair as possible. Feedback, comments, and opinions are appreciated

Sam,

Not sure if you're a college baseball fan, but here’s my latest piece about the College World Series.

The student-athletes play with youthfulness and excitement and it’s sad that college baseball doesn’t get very much recognition.

If you get the chance let me know what you think.
