About

Travis has been writing about baseball since 2002. He started the Boy of Summer blog in August of that year and has had his work featured on Baseball Outsider, 360thePitch, All-Baseball, and MVN. Travis also once was interviewed for a local TV station, got a snarky one-line letter to Sports Illustrated published, interviewed Jim Palmer (sort of), met Lou Piniella in a Nordstrom in Paramus, NJ, and didn't shake Ron Guidry's hand. That was a lie. Also, he's probably taller than you.

    Travis,

    I thought you might like this piece. It’s a personal look back at the Florida Marlins incredibly shocking upset of the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series.

    Hey Travis,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Travis!
