About

I am a 20-something who has enjoyed playing and watching sports all my life. As a Pennsylvania native and Penn State graduate, I am a die-hard Nittany Lions fan, and try to keep up with all things Penn State sports-related. I am also a fan of all things Pittsburgh, even our awesome Pirates. I also play in a baseball league in DC. Yes, it is a hardball league, and we use wood. I consider myself to be what some refer to as a "bar stool pundit." I enjoy spending hours debating all things from football to soccer with anyone who will engage. I bring a lot of first-hand experience, having played 11 years of football and over 20 years of baseball.

    Nothing like a trip to spring training to get you excited about the baseball season, not to mention cure some writer's block. If you get a chance, give this a read, if not, no worries.
