Patrick's Bio

I'm Pat, I'm 20 years old and I attend the University of Tennesse in Knoxville. I'm majoring in sports journalism. I love Vols football and basketball, but my favorite sport is baseball. I'm a huge New York Mets fan, and have been since I was old enough to follow baseball.

I'm also the Vice President of the club baseball team at Tennessee. I will become the President starting in Fall 2009. I am a pitcher and also play some third base.

I have recently started my own blog called Mets Hot Corner. You can find it at www.metshotcorner.blogspot.com.

It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James made his only appearance of the season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks tonight. Take a look.
