About

Even though I've been a fan of pretty much any sport as long as I can remember, I'm an especially close follower of Minnesota sports. Target Field becomes a second home in the summer as I make every attempt to see the Twins in person whenever possible.

A graduate of the University of Minnesota, I will forever be an avid Golden Gopher fan, even though it can at times bring more frustration than joy.

    Chris Kluwe is my straight up hero. The public letter he wrote to Deadspin as a response to that douche who told him he's not allowed to speak—was just amazing. I'm always harassing him on Twitter.

    Hey there Mark! Thanks so much for being my fan—I was so excited about the whole thing that it made me an instant fan of *yours*. Anyway, I see that Sidney Crosby is among your favorite athletes…which means I love you. Thank you for not being irrationally hateful of my inappropriately young imaginary boyfriend.

    About funny names - no, we didn't give you one but we did call you 'Mookie' when you were a little guy
    And, I'd say the the Twins best signing in history was Kirby Puckett

    Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

    Thanks

    Mark...I like your articles that you write, but one omisson I found in a recent one titled "9 worse weather games": the omssion is the Toronto Bluejays 1977 Home Opener - the first game of the franchise. It was so snow riden that it was hard to even see the outfield. This to me looks like it should have made your list. Check out the link: http://archives.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/clips/3862/

    If you have any comments or feedback, by all means email me at ronwhitlock@gmail.com. Thanks again and keep writting great articles!!
