About Danny »

On May 16, 2009, I took a walk on to a stage and was given a green degree case (still waiting for the actual piece of paper in the mail, by the way) that signified the end of a five-year journey. I can now say I am a graduate of Humboldt State University. I was a member of the HSU men's soccer team for two seasons while manning the pipes for the Jacks (even though I never officially got in a game).

I am one of the community leaders for two great sections: San Francisco Giants and Serie A.

I am a baseball purist and root for my beloved San Francisco Giants every day of the year, no matter how they are doing in the standings. You challenge that? Check my wardrobe.

I do pray to Saint Lincecum every fifth day.

We like to establish our dominance with a fastball. We pitch inside when we have to.

I'm also a huge fan of the most-storied club in Italian football history, Juventus FC. My admiration of the Turin giants can be pointed to one man—the world's best goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon. Don't know him? Google him and prepare to be amazed.

"We are Juventus and must live up to this name." -- Ciro Ferrara

I have had numerous Juventus articles featured on foxsoccer.com dating back to December 2008. Thank you Bleacher Report.

And now, as we leave you, a moment of pure wisdom:
