Samantha's Bio

PT Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Most of them end up Cleveland Sports fans.

Proud to be among the tormented. Go Tribe! Go Browns!

Samantha Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Samantha Bunten

Favorite Athletes

Omar Vizquel (best defensive shortstop ever), Shoeless Joe Jackson (maybe the best hitter ever), Brett Favre (the toughest guy in the world), Gerald "The Ice Cube" McNeil, Grady Sizemore (a fire in the snow) , Kenny Lofton, Aaron Boone, Manny Ramirez (the best pure hitter in baseball today, the most beautiful swing in baseball ever), Paul Molitor (who wrote me the letter that changed everything), and Derek Jeter because he's Batman.

Favorite Sports Teams

Indians, Browns

All Time Sports Moment

1997 World Series, Marlins vs. Indians Game 7: Yes, I know we lost. Roger Kahn said it best in Boys of Summer: "You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."

Most Memorable Game Attended

Browns v 49ers, 1993, scene of the infamous Tord Faurus debacle (see my humor bowl article); Indians-Yankees, ALDS game 5, 1997, when The Tribe hit back to back to back HRs to win the series; and those games with significance that only my dad will fully appreciate: Barnes and his heckler, the dead spot game against Seattle, "Pagel!", Jo-ey! (torn between wondering if we were going to die and marveling at our personal impact on the game), the game after the unfortunate scissors accident, and games which may or may not have involved seat vulturing, stealing vestigial hardware from the lower reserve section, and crank calling Red Sox pitchers.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Consecutive Complete Games Thrown: Jack Lynch, 198, or Number of Doves Hit With a Pitch: Randy Johnson, 1.

Ruth or Mays?

Mays is the better player, but Ruth is the better story

Unitas or Montana?

Marino

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 10. Go PSU!

    Actually, you got the short version haha. The longer version can be found on my profile, and it's got a pic of Dice K and Okajima to go with it. I was working on it at school and the internet was being dumb so it got posted twice—and one was shortened haha. Thanks for the feedback and for readin though :)

    Hey Samantha,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Samantha!

    Awesome, this is all grassroots stuff so anything you do to spread the word makes a real difference. Yeah, we launched the initial site about 2 weeks ago to start generating a little bit of buzz...the response has been amazing so far and hopefully we will have the full site up sometime in the near future...I'm also hoping the fans choose baseball...We will definitely be looking into those leagues.

    Thanks for supporting project franchise...anything you could do to help spread the word would be great. Also, we would like our fans to suggest teams they would like us to approach about acquiring...so keep an eye out and let us know if you have a club in mind.
