About Ben »

My name is Ben, I'm a 20 year old rising sophomore at Saint Louis University. I am an avid Cardinals, Colts, and Tim Duncan fan. Yeah, that's right: Tim Duncan, the least entertaining, but still one of the best players in the league. You can contact me at bweixlmann@stlsportscenter.com

I just recently was named a Senior Writer, within one month of joining B/R, so I feel honored for that.

I was quoted in ESPN (6/23/2008)

I have also opened a blog at CardinalTwist.com check me out!

Pick of the Day Award (8/8/08)

Proud to have my work on http://www.sportsline.com/mlb (9/3/2008), under Related Links, "Top FAs", linked right next to JJ Stankevitz.

I have a column called Ben's Ballers at Hoops4life.com. I hope you like the articles! Comments/Posts are appreciated and encouraged!

Hi Ben

I've been writing articles about the MLB 9s, where fans vote for their all-time franchise lineup based on the single greatest offensive season by players at each position.

I've already posted the D'backs, Braves, Orioles, Red Sox, and Cubs. The White Sox report will be up tomorrow and the Reds' piece will be online Sunday.

If you have a chance I'd love your feedback. They have already started a little debate which is awesome.

Here's a link to a holding page. All of the links so far are at the bottom.

Ben,

St. Louis needed offensive firepower so they pulled the trigger on Matt Holliday. It was needed, but here's a need that I think should have been addressed first. Take a look if you get the chance.

Hey Ben,

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the survey:

The deadline for the survey is Sunday August 2.

I look forward to reading your opinions!

Thanks!
