About Brian »

Hello Everyone who cares to look at my Bio -

There is not much to say of great importance here that pertains to anything I may write. I have worked in the past with several professional sports organizations, including Major League Baseball, an NFL team, a MiLB team and a MLS team. I am an avid sports fan and my favorite teams are: the tradition child of the 80s/90s Cowboys, the Florida Marlins, the New Jersey Devils, and the New Jersey Nets. I do not know much about the NHL and NBA to write anything substantial on them, so you probably won't see them getting a mention in my articles unless I'm truly irate or inspired by something. I have never written before, but did attempt to write for my college paper and was assigned a field hockey game - I never went to a meeting again.

I hope you enjoy anything I write but would never so much ask that you enjoy everything I write - it won't all be good, if any of it is good at all. Most of my stuff will be satirical or at least laced with sarcasm so please understand that. Thanks for stopping by, leave some encouragement, comments or threats in the comments!

Hey Brian,

This is the follow up of the piece I wrote yesterday - AL yesterday, NL today. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

Hey Brian

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Brian-

I'm the MLB Community Coordinator at Bleacher Report and I'm very excited to have you writing about the Marlins. The Marlins are unfortunately one of our weakest MLB communities, so its great to see someone writing about them. Let me know if you ever have any questions or anything like that. I look forward to more of you.
