kane's Bio

I will be 20 years old only july 24th I am a Cubs fan in Cardinals country. I like to cook bbq spending a majority of the summer in the shade, in a lawnchair, by my smoker, listening to Pat and Ron call the Cubs game. At a crossroads of what I want to do, in terms of a career, between cooking and sports writing.

I haven't pimped an article in awhile, but the silence is deafening, so here I go again.

I think that the Strasburg negotiations warrant a look at something that MLB should have adopted a long time ago. I'd like to know if you agree.

This one is very personal to me. It is about a wonderful children's stoy and grassroots movement benefitting kids who play for the love of the game.

I encourage you to take the time to check it out.

My latest article is about the evolution of a quiet kid from Spokane to a man on a mission in the Cubs minor league system. I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did writing it.

For my 400th article, I decided to tackle a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to read it and comment. I think it's something very important for us to recognize, particularly in light of today's Civil Rights game.

Thanks, Bob
