About Brett »

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 and works in Berkeley, CA, and often is spotted typing his articles for this site at work.

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.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Mike Piazza, Brett Butler, Russell Martin, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Todd Zeile, Antonio Cromartie, Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Todd Heap, Paul Kariya, 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, so I see both sides.
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?

I'll give Tiger the nod--the 11 straight Tour wins seals it by a hair.
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.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

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

Hey Brett,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.
