Shashwat's Bio

I am a 22-year old college senior from Southington, CT! I currently attend Loyola Chicago and live in The Windy City. Sports are a major passion of mine, from playing to watching and even participating in fantasy leagues. I am a die hard baseball fan, but also love watching other sports. Even a 6 hour cricket match can be fun if the right teams are playing!

I'm a huge fan of the New York Yankees, New York Giants, UConn Huskies (NCAAB), and Michigan Wolverines (NCAAF). I also support the Indian cricket team on their quest for world domination!

Most Memorable Game Attended

Yankees vs. Angels on 8/3/2008. Yankees came back to beat LAA with 6 in the bottom of the 8th inning and won 14-9! (Binghamton Mets vs. New Britain Rock Cats is in the top 5... Harold Reynolds and Mets' GM Omar Minaya sat directly behind me!)

Ruth or Mays?

Willie Mays... played against better players and still became a legend.
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana. He and Jerry Rice were the best QB/WR combo in NFL history!

The Great One... without question!
Pele or Maradona?

Pele's name is synonymous with soccer (futball) greatness around the world!
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras is from the USA so he gets the edge!

No problem on the edit Shashwat. That's cool you saw Griffey play, and in his MVP season, no less! The guy was a true superstar.

Hey Shashwat enjoyed your articles. I see you are a yankees fan and I am on the hunt for a gameday program from the Angels series this year in August. Same one you noted as your favorite game above. I saw your article about the fans outside the stadium trying to collect all the tickets and didnt know if maybe you knew where I could land a game program for this series. Thanks Zeb

Yep, I remember your dominance. My first three years in high school we lost to you guys. But now, we've won two in a row. I appreciate your handling my unprovoked dig at Southington with class. I know some people on this site would probably flip shit about something like that. Anyway, nice to meet someone on here who is from CT. Nutmeg Staters gotta stick together.

A Duke fan and a Mets fan, we have our differences, but I'm glad to see we can defeat the odds and coexist! See you around!

Don't expect this friedrich character to make any sense... did you ever read any of his garbage when he was going by the name of "eddie g"? Doesn't look like you and I would agree on too many things, but I think we can agree on friedrich/eddie. What an asshole.
