Shaun's Bio

A 20-something year old who enjoys everything sports (especially the numbers part) as a way to be distracted from what might otherwise might be a mundane Monday-Friday 9-5 life. If you like what you read, feel free to give me a buzz at shauncopsey@comcast.net

Most Memorable Game Attended

Cal Ripken's consecutive games streak
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth, not only can he pitch, but he can call his own shots, plus he was from down the street
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas - Joe Montana was awesome but Unitas is a football icon in Baltimore.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan - There will never be another Michael Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky - is this even a question?
Pele or Maradona?

Pele - It's got to be Pele with the acrobatic shots, who is Maradona anyways?
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras - I guess I'm old school with the tennis
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger - People watch Golf just to see this guy play.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt - Earnhardt had a reputation, he lived and... died by it...

Schumacher - the other name doesn't even ring a bell for me...
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Hey Shaun—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Orioles page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

2001 Seattle Mariners 157 692 127 242 34 8 8 69 316 30 53 56 14 .381 .457 .350

See this line? That was Ichiro's MVP season. The 69 in the middle is his RBI total. Pedoria is the 80s maybe 90s by now.

More recently Jimmy Rollins won the NL MVP last season with under 100 RBI

2007 Philadelphia Phillies 162 716 139 212 38 20 30 94 380 49 85 41 6 .344 .531 .296

So you don't need 100 RBI to win MVP. Pedroia is having an amazing season and is contention for the award.

Man, you do your homework on these Monday/Thursday matchups! I should take you up on some of your suggestions in my battle for eighth place! Like Chad said, you've found a good niche and a way to provide consistent contributions to B/R.

In a move that I didn't see coming, the MBC has decreed "3-for-5" to be the preferred style from henceforth. We'll get it added to the style guide ASAP. Thanks pointing that one out Shaun.
