About Nick »

I'm currently a senior in college and will be graduating this upcoming January. The New York Mets are my passion, but I'm also a diehard fan of the NY Giants, Islanders, and Knicks. I really enjoy writing, whether it be articles on my favorite teams, or science fiction novels. I'm also a practicioner of goju-ryu karate.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    New York Mets, New York Giants, New York Islanders and New York Knicks

  • All Time Sports Moment

    I went to a Mets game in 2008 when the Mets took on the Mariners. I went to a M's vs Mets game several years ago with my dad. It was a double header and the mets got blown out bad in both games. They alose lost a laugher to the Mariners in the game I went to this year, but it was my all-time favorite moment in Shea Stadium because we were able to move down to the very first row and a linedrive got hit right at me, but I missed it!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Other great Shea moments include the playoff game against the dodgers in 06 when 2 dodgers were tagged out at the plate. I was at that game and never heard shea stadium get that loud before.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    I once hit into a double play with the bases loaded and flung my helmet in disgust. Little did I know my girlfriend was about 10 feet away. The helmet came within an inch of nailing her in the head, as it sailed over the a fence and smashed into a the door of my team's catcher's car, who immediately charged me from the dugout, and across the field screaming "THATS MY CAR!"

  • Ruth or Mays?

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Elisha Manning.

  • Jordan or Russell?

  • Gretzky or Orr?

  • Pele or Maradona?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I hate Tennis.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    And I hate Golf.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    I don't "believe" in college sports. I only watch professionals. I just can't get into college football and basketball for some reason. Maybe it's cause I'm a little jealous that I'm not on the field, or just the fact that I find it boring.
