Born in Mississippi but raised in southern Indiana. I'm a midwestern at heart. My father was born and raised in Ohio and passed down his love for baseball, Pete Rose, and the Reds to me. I believe my mother was a Braves fan, as a youth I would have been beaten up to follow Dale Murphy. I at least got to see the Reds win a World Series in '90 and shock the world.. Little did I know that I may never see that again. I'm 28 years old, I'm married with 3 kids. Besides my wife and kids, baseball is my second true love in life. I love this game, "I'd have played for food money". Nothing in this world brings me more joy than to play pitch and catch with my sons.
Hi Matt
A few days ago Buck Showalter of ESPN revealed his plan for realigning MLB. I analyze it and critique it. I would very much like your opinion.
Thanks
