About Greg »

Whats up everyone, I'm a lifelong Yankee fan who was born in the Bronx and raised within ten miles of the stadium. I am a Featured Columnist for the Yankees here at Bleacher Report. I am into economics and statistics, so I will definitely be writing some stat-heavy articles for you.

You can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/GregFertel

I provide plenty of other updates over at my blog, Pending Pinstripes: http://mvn.com/pendingpinstripes.
