About

I'm Mike Zacchio (the one on the right) and I am a 24-year-old sports writer for The Journal News/LoHud.com in White Plains, N.Y. I graduated with my bachelors degree in journalism from SUNY Purchase College and I have been writing since high school and announcing even before then. After watching the 1996 World Series I knew baseball had to be in my future. My dream profession is to one day cover the New York Yankees in any form; preferably as a play-by-play announcer (I'm looking at you Kay...).
