About

Christopher Benvie was born in the "City of Champions" Brockton, Massachusetts. As a lifelong baseball fan, his exposure to the greatest game came at a young age and a love affair was born.

I started my career on the Bleacher Report in December 2011 as a Featured Columnist for the Boston Red Sox. In an effort to balance out the fine baseball coverage the site has to offer, I decided to cover the Los Angeles Dodgers starting in April 2012 until my promotion to MLB Featured Columnist in July of 2012.

As of August 2012, I am also a contributing writer for WEEI.com.

    Hey Christopher—I didn't actually touch the headline of the article. So if it was changed, I'm not the one who did it. :)

    I am not referring to a specific player, just saying that we shouldn't make pariahs out of the players. But hold who is really responsible for the steroid era, Bud Selig.
