About Ryan »

Born on the North Side (Rogers Park) of Chicago to a South Side father and North Side mother. Dad won out when it came to sports. I was raised in the western suburb of Elmhurst where I reside to this day. I graduated from Loyola University in Chicago in 2008. My whole life, I have been a die-hard White Sox fan. I have lived and breathed with the success and failures of the Sox. The love affair with the Cubs and fans sickens me. How can people in Nebraska, with no ties to Chicago be Cubs fans? 2005 was one of the greatest years of my life, and not just because the Sox won the WS. I'm writing for the BR because I love baseball in its simplest form and how people can look at the the same player, focus on different stats, and come to different conclusions.
