About Chris »

Grew up in small town Ohio and found my way to California. I love sports especially football. To me there is nothing better than Thanksgiving dinner and football. ( I always find myself rooting for the Lions for some reason, probably because of my love for Barry Sanders.)

I also love photography it's what I enjoy doing in my spare time. I am very opinionated when it comes down to a football conversation but I rarely make a bad argument. (But let's be honest, everyone has a bad day every once in a while.) I also love to spend time with my girlfriend at the beach and helping her with her Law school homework.

Most Memorable Game Attended

I've been too so many games and the one that comes to my mind first is this Indians game that I went to when I was about 18. They played the Angels and they had this rookie that nobody ever heard of some guy named Jim Edmonds so me and my buddy razzed all game long finally he said "I got something for ya." Next inning he hit a homerun and then again in the follwing inning. Obviously I was done running my mouth to him for the rest of the game. Albert Belle ended up winning that game in the bottom of the 8 or 9th with a 3 run blast to the picninc tables in the Jake.
