About Frankie »

I am an Iona College Alum and currently looking into going after a Masters in either journalism or public communications and media.

I have been raised as a Yankee fan since I was a little kid, but I truly fell in love with them when they produced what was, in my opinion, the greatest team to ever take the field: the 1998 team. I was 10 years old when the Yanks swept the Padres in the World Series. Since then, I have followed their every move, along with moves throughout the rest of Major League Baseball.

In addition, I hold a great interest in the National Football League, as well.

Don't be shy, and as always, feedback is appreciated.

Hey Frank, sorry about that, I only made a few and I may have made a mistake saving them, as it is the first slideshow I've edited. Great job though man, I re-read the piece and it looks great, and I'm looking forward to your future top-5's (As long as some Red Sox are involved!) -Pete
