About Ben »

I am a huge sports fan who spends most of his focus on Chicago Cubs baseball and Duke Blue Devils basketball. I like to provide the reader with quality information that they would find useful. I like to write Game Recaps, Opinion, and Breaking News articles. I get extremely busy when the MLB Trade Deadline rolls around, as I provide a daily round-up of rumors around the league.

    Ben Calloway commented on Halladay and Granderson Perfect Fits as Chicago Cubs—Neither Likely to Be One

    Highest payroll in the league? No. The Cubs don't have the highest payroll in the NL, and are far behind the Yankees in the AL.
