Dan's Bio

A graduate of scenic Curry College in Milton Massachusetts, Dan Pieroni is a passionate New England sports fan. He truly lives and dies with the success of his favorite teams. Want Proof? When he was a kid he threw a table lamp across he's bedroom because the Red Sox had just lost a playoff series to the Indians.

Although he's mellowed out considerably, sports, particularly baseball, remains one of his true passions. His honest and sometimes brutal assessments of issues in sports are sure to develop a loyal fan base here on Bleacher Report.

After almost three years at Blogger, Dan has decided to leave his personal blog because he wants a wider audience and he believes that someone may be so impressed with his writing that they'd be willing to pay him for it, not that he's holding his breath.

His life's ambitions are to visit every ballpark in the major leagues and eat at every "Popeye's Chicken" in the United States, clearly he doesn't get out much.

Dan lives with his nagging but loving parents and a younger brother that barely tolerates him in northern Rhode Island. He is eager to share his opinions with the rest of the Bleacher Report community and encourages you to comment on his work.

To see Dan's work on Blogger, including his popular "Tuesday Morning Running Back" column that will move to Bleacher Report this fall, visit sportstawk.blogspot.com

Dan Pieroni commented on Tuesday Morning Running Back Week 5: I Pity The Raiders

The Short List What Dan thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Josh Beckett, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Larry Bird, Cam Neely.
Favorite Sports Teams

Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, Phillies, Dodgers, Falcons, Cubs.
Favorite Coaches

Jim Valvano, Terry Francona, Joe Torre, Bill Parcells, Joe Paterno, and many others
All Time Sports Moment

The Red Sox finally winning the World Series in 2004 after 86 years of heartache.
Most Memorable Game Attended

The 18 inning game between the Tigers and Red Sox in 2001.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth was the better power hitter, but Mays was a better all around player.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana, four titles in an era of great quarterbacks and tight competition says a lot.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan transcended the game and made it more individualized, thus he had a greater impact on the game.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele was the biggest and most well known soccer player in the world. Outside of Argentina, few people know anything about Maradona.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I'm an east coast guy, so Big East it is.

Hey I would appreciate some input on my article: The Five Worst Sports Announcers in NY

Hey Dan,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

Just wanted to say I found your recent "race" piece interesting. I have a few comments on race issues in the NHL, but don't have time to chat right now... perhaps I'll get back to you. Anyway, good for you on sticking your neck out; you didn't really say anything inflammatory, but it's a delicate subject nonetheless.

Take care!
