About

I'm a Featured Columnist for Major League Baseball, and have served as one since the 2010 season. I served as NFL Draft columnist for the AFC North in April 2011, and in May 2011 I covered the Horse Racing Triple Crown races.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Too many to list, though Bob Feller resides at the top.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    I'm a lifelong Cleveland fan whether I like it or not. Browns, Cavs, Indians.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Mike Hargrove, Lou Boudreau, Phil Jackson, Vince Lombardi, Casey Stengel (even if he was a Yankee), and Mike Fratello

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    I was in the stands for Kobe's 25,000th point, as well as two inside-the-park home runs.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak. We'll be lucky if someone hits 50 again. Close second is Walter Johnson's 110 shutouts for obvious reasons.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays was amazing, but can't go against the man who redefined baseball. Ruth.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Big Ten

    Dan,
    Perusing your "100 Greatest Hitters" list, I wanted to let you know that in regards to Stan Musial, he had 475 during his 22 year playing career. Though a fine career number, I wouldn't call it close to 600 home runs.

    Hey Dan
    I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.

    Cespedes and the Giants. ( more than likely he will end up in Miami.) One should not assume that he will come with a high price tag. He has no major league experience therefore his first contract will not be prohibitive. The Giants as you noted are a perfect fit for this player but they are a very conservative risk averse team. It is too bad for the fans because the Giants have a strong latin following with Tito Fuentes broadcasting games in Spanish and the long great history of Latin players; Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal to name a few. Pablo Sandoval is an all star and he is the same age as Yoenis, California is a great place to play baseball and at ATT the Giants have a strong Latin following. As you said, a good fit.

    i think dan tylicki is way off when it comes to the jaguars making a bad pick and getting tyson alualu. Gene smith is doing things the right way by not following the media way of doing things and getting guys that will play as a team and be good football players for years to come. Although i do like jimmy smith i trust Gene Smith much more than you.

    If Pettis looked BAD you must've watched with your eyes closed....The OFFENSIVE COORDINATION is what LOOKED BAD.....Join the HATER Nation but I'll keep your POST so I can get back to you. Like When some Smart NFL team that DOESN'T need the MEDIA to tell them who is GOOD, nor where the Prospects are RATED, picks Pettis and He MAKES You and Everyone else (like the Colleges that passed on Him) Eat Their WORDs......Food for Thought-----No One Liked AARON Rogers Out of High School. Now He's the Superbowl MVP.........Do you guys have to give your Paychecks back when you Rate / Rank Players So WRONG....Just A Few More POINTS!!!!!!!
