About

Brett Moore is a graduate of Sonoma State University in California, with degrees in History and Archaeology. He was introduced to baseball before he can remember, and has been a faithful Dodger fan since 1991 (he was 7). Raised in Los Angeles, Brett now resides, attends grad school, and works in San Diego, CA.

Previous writings have been published in his high school newspaper and yearbook, as well as The Signal, the local paper in his hometown Newhall, CA. Brett once dreamed of broadcasting either alongside or following Vin Scully into the booth for his beloved Dodgers, but abandoned that goal when he realized being the follow-up act to Vin might be the hardest act to pull off on God's green earth. He also attended Arizona State for its broadcasting program before finding his calling digging holes for really old shiny stuff. In his abbreviated career there, he became an avid ASU Sun Devil fan, and has been quoted as saying that he chose SSU due to their lack of a football program: this way no other college allegiances would conflict with watching his Sun Devils play.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Mike Piazza, Brett Butler, Andre Ethier, Russell Martin, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Todd Zeile, Antonio Cromartie, Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Todd Heap, Paul Kariya, Teemu Selanne, Bobby Ryan, Kobe Bryant... I think that's it.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona State Sun Devils, Arizona Cardinals, Anaheim (MIGHTY) Ducks

  • Favorite Coaches

    Tommy Lasorda. I need no other coach.

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Gibson's 1988 Game One homer. How do you not love the ultimate underdog moment? It was "Rudy" and The Natural" all in one. And Vin Scully's immortal call only makes it that much more special.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Before: Ramon Martinez' no-hitter against the Florida Marlins, Dodger Stadium, July 14th, 1995. Second game I ever went to. Now: Opening Day 2009. Hudson's cycle and an 11-1 beatdown of the Giants. Yes, please!

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Either Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak or Cobb's .367 lifetime batting average.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Faster, a better fielder, and a better guy. Ruth does have the "great pitcher" thing going for him, however.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Ooooh... tough. But I'm gonna have to go with Montana. Can't back it up--just personal preference.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Are you kidding?

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    God, there's another tough one. But I grew up with Gretzky in LA, so it's hard not to take The Great One. Wayne wins.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    I have no idea who the latter is.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I'll keep taking Federer. I could argue Federer faced stiffer competition from Nadal than Sampras did for much of his career, but that'd be an insult to Andre Agassi.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    nicklaus. TIger's old news and sees to have lost a lot of his stride after knee surgery. Nicklaus was still among the best well into his time on the Senior Tour.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty. I hated Earnhardt (though I respect his legacy and his record).

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Don't know enough Indy Car to call it.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    I loves me my Pac-10.

    Hey Brett,

    I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
