About Dave »

I'm a CMU student who absolutely loves sports, especially baseball, hockey and football. I'll watch any MLB or NHL game that is on, and usually have a couple guys on each team that I like to see. You will mostly see me write about the MLB but I am also quite knowledgeable about the NHL.

For the summer I will be between Mt. Pleasant and home in Jackson where I don't have a computer, so my writing will be more sporadic than I would like.

Hey Dave,

Kevin Youkilis set a terrible example for children and was wrong in charging a rookie pitcher.
