Travis's Bio

I love the em-dash. Here's one to get you started: —

I would eat sports for breakfast if I actually needed to be awake early. Alas, I am a sportswriter. I write and I blog.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Hey Travis,
It's been awhile. How you doing? I actually had a question for you. What's the deal with David Devezin? I know there's some issue but I can't remember what.

Hey, this is a article that I'm particularly proud of, and I think you will enjoy it. It looks at some of the strangest injuries to ever occur in baseball history, there certainly are some strange ones.

As always any feedback/support would be appreciate, and would like to get this article around BR, so if you could tell a friend who might tell a friend. Then that would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
