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!

  2. If you have a chance, I wrote an article about steroids is baseball, and I'd love so see what you think!

    Thanks!

  3. 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.

  4. Please read my article about A-Rod's perfect brand new name.

    I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a comment.

    Thanks.

  5. 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

  6. We agree on agreeing to disagree...so I think we've agreed twice...haha. Good luck to NY this year...should be a great 3 team race...and that's just in the AL East!

  7. Correction -- I'm a wicked pissa haaahd Boston guy. :)

    Cheers!
    Matt

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. Jeez...bulletin boards...I guess I should really find out what's on this site. Seriously, just joking around with 'ya. Thanks for responding!

  12. Let's pass this around! I did.

    It's solid piece of Q&A work...you have to wonder what people think, you know?

  13. I'm with LJ, I loved ur play piece. Good work.

  14. Great 'Exciting Play' piece! I like those kind of fun Q&A articles.
