Dan 's Bio
I'm a north suburban (Chicago) Deerfield native. Lifelong Cubs fan, whose first favorite player was Ivan DeJesus.
Wore #11 every year I ever played baseball because of him.
Wrote free-lance, on and off, for the Daily Herald for seven years, before getting my first full-time gig at a little paper in northern Wisconsin. Was a literal one-man sports department.
Now am working at a slightly larger paper in southern, central Florida, where at least I have a couple of correspondents.

The Short List facts and information about Dan Hoehne
Favorite Athletes
Of all time? Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams. Currently? I'm souring on D-Lee, liking A-Ram and loving Geo.
Favorite Sports Teams
Cubs, Bulls, Bears and now that I'm in Florida and they're so compelling, the Rays
All Time Sports Moment
Personally, either scoring four touchdowns ina game in eighth grade, or having five hits in a game in high school.
Most Memorable Game Attended
Either the second game of the '84 playoffs, the last game the Cubs won that year, the official second night game at Wrigley or the night Jordan broke his foot in his second season.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Dimaggio's hitting streak, and nobody will hit .400 again.
Ruth or Mays?
This is tough, because Mays was THE true five-tool player, but Babe was both the greatest slugger and was a top pitcher. But I'll go Mays.
Unitas or Montana?
Unitas, played in such a tougher era, and modernized the QB position.
Jordan or Russell?
Jordan. Another close one, with all Russell's rings, and how they could both impose their will on a game. But Jordan could do more and won in a more competitive era.
Gretzky or Orr?
I lean toward the tougher era, with Bobby, but Wayne was so dominant, he get's the nod.
Pele or Maradona?
Pele all the way.
Federer or Sampras?
Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?
Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?
Petty
Schumacher or Senna?
Not even sure who they are, but I'll go for Senna, for no particular reason.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
I'm a midwesterner, so of course Big 10
