James's Bio

My sports playing background is largely based in baseball, but as a fan my passions lie in both college football and major league baseball. Being from Texas, my knowledge lies in the Big XII for college football, and for baseball I know all about the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. While I do have my regional biases, I can converse intelligently about teams all over the country, and also about almost all sports.
