I grew up in Southern California with a dad that loved Notre Dame football and the Yankees. So, originally, I started liking them so that we would have something to talk about. Now, he's gone, but the teams remain and I love them with all the fervor that he once did.

I played DIII baseball for the University of Redlands for four years. I played baseball my entire life, so I know a little bit about the game. I don't know as much about football, but I am a sports nut, so I can't analyze a game, but I can have opinions...especially about the Irish.

I've also played fantasy baseball and football since I was 12 years old, so I have some knowledge on those subjects as well.

I hope you like the way I write and that you enjoy my articles.
