About

"Whatever I talk about, it always comes back to baseball."--Connie Mack
I live in NY and work as a copywriter for an ad agency.
I spend too much time thinking of fantasy team names, too little time reading injury reports.
I don't understand people who keep score at baseball games.
I'm officially tired of the "Yankees buy their team" argument.
"I like people more than principles."-Oscar Wilde
I just cannot get into tennis, golf, or anything that is limited to running around a track.
I don't mind the NFL overtime rules, I think hockey is wildly underrated, and I hate the expression "step up to the plate."
I don't believe in wearing baseball hats with football logos on them because football players wear helmets.

    The Yankees have put together an unbelievable streak of magical wins, but is Yankee Stadium and its short right field porch New York’s “magic wand?” Can sitting back and waiting for a solo HR really translate to October success?

    Thanks in advance! I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Take care.

    The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

    Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.

    Yankee fans rooting for the Red Sox? Has hell frozen over, or is there a rational thought process at the root of it all. Read why it is ok for you to root for Boston on select occasions without feeling like Benedict Arnold.

    There has always been a connection between religion and sports, and Major League Baseball has certainly not been the exception to the rule.

    Check out the All-Catholic lineup…the best Catholic names (by position) in MLB history.

    Thanks as always!

    A-Rod’s 2009 salary is $33 million. What is the best team (9 hitter lineup with DH, 5 SPs, 1 RP, and a CL) you could create using only his salary as a budget, and no more than 5 players allowed to be making less than $1 million? You would be surprised…
