About Dena »

Before I even knew the definition of a hero, Rocky Balboa was mine. The Italian Stallion's boxing skill and unbelievable determination hooked me, and I began a lifelong love affair with sports. For 10 years gymnastics was my soul mate followed by flings with tennis, marathon running and cycling. Making the University of Georgia my college home only strengthened my feelings for SEC football and basketball. And living in Augusta brought me to the Masters tournament and into the world of golf. Combine my passion for athletics with an equally potent passion for writing, and clearly I'd want to involved in this site too.

Dena,

I thought you might like this piece. It’s a personal look back at the Florida Marlins incredibly shocking upset of the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series.
