Ari's Bio

(The guitarist all the way on the right is me)
From New York City, I am a huge fan of the Yankees and a loyal but frustrated fan of the Manhattan College Jaspers. Baseball and college basketball are my favorite sports to watch and will be the main subjects of my writing. Other than sports, music is a passion of mine. My band's myspace page was updated in June with three fresh recordings, which can be heard at www.myspace.com/thesunnysideup .

Finally a high school senior, I will become very busy very soon, but I hope to continue participating in the Bleacher Report community as long as I can find the time to.

I am the community leader for the MAAC here on Bleacher Report, so if you want to join or write something, feel free to contact me.

The Short List What Ari thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Robinson Cano, Alfonso Soriano, Joba Chamberlain, Derek Jeter, Carl Crawford, Jason Thompson, Leon Washington
Favorite Sports Teams

New York Yankees, Manhattan College Jaspers
Most Memorable Game Attended

Manhattan 78 Iona 74 -- final game of the season (both teams were tied for first -- winner took MAAC regular season title) -- most hard fought, exciting game I have ever attended
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cy Young's 511 victories -- that is saying that some pitcher will need to average 25 wins per season for 20 seasons
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

MAAC, anyone?

If you come up, I'd avoid January til mid-February. That's usually when the weather is the worst, the snow tapers off around mid-Feb when the lake freezes over.

Come February 27th for Villanova-Syracuse, College Gameday will be in town.

I wouldn't be too worried. NJIT is better but they are still terrible.

BTW, did you ever end up looking into Syracuse?

Is that even a question? I've been counting down the hours. My new ring tone is CBS's Road to the Final college basketball theme song. It can't get here fast enough.

Ari,

I thought you might like this piece. It’s a personal look back at the Florida Marlins incredibly shocking upset of the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series.

Hey man. I kind of just read about each of the top places. I think many people know of these places and what an atmosphere they provide. So, I just kinda worked them into a countdown. Do you enjoy them?

Also, I like the MAAC previews you just put up. I'll drop a comment on them when I get a chance man.

Hi Ari,

I noticed you enjoyed Bob's interview with Ernie Banks the other day. I thought you might also enjoy the interview I did with him a few years back.
