About Sam »

My name is Sam Tastad, and I graduated Sioux Falls Christian High School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Next year, I will be attending the University of Sioux Falls. I enjoy writing about sports, and reading about sports. I also enjoy participating in fantasy leagues. I really love sports, but I have a greater love for my Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ.

Twin's community:
It is not too late to make a difference!
You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

Hey Sam,

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!
