Nick's Bio

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

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!"
Unitas or Montana?

Elisha Manning.
Federer or Sampras?

I hate Tennis.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

And I hate Golf.
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.
