About John »

I have been a rabid fan of the Red Sox for as long as I can remember--even in those dark days before 2004 and sold-out games every single day. I grew up in a baseball home outside of Boston and thus grew up living and breathing sports.

I am a recent graduate of Quinnipiac University, earning a bachelors degree Broadcast Journalism. I have always like writing and sometime during high school I decided to combine this passion with my love for sports. Baseball is my area of greatest expertise, but I hold more-than-passing interests in football, hockey and college basketball.

Beyond the Stadium

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Willie Mays, Pedro Martinez, Paul Pierce, Larry Bird, Lebron James

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Oakland Athletics, Boston Celtics

  • Favorite Coaches

  • All Time Sports Moment

    This one has to be the Red Sox overtaking the Yankees in game 7 of the ALCS after trailing 3 games to zero. The ensuing World Series was a boring afterthought compared to that.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The most memorable game I attended was a Red Sox game back in the Garciaparra era. He returned from an injury the day of the game and proceeded to drive in runs off of a double and a homer over the monster.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    The most unbreakable reacord is either DiMaggio's hit streak or Cy Youngs 511 wins.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    I must go with Mays because of the excitement he brought to the field every game. He is perhaps one of the most complete five-tool athletes to ever play the game...his last three seasons don't count.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    I suppose Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Im a Celtics fan, take a guess

  • Gretzky or Orr?

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Who? Ya I know one is a national hero, the other had the Goal of the Century, but I'm an American...futbol just doesnt cut it for me.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    No true loyalties here.

As the Red Sox 2009 campaign is starting to bring back horrific flashbacks of the 2006 season, I look at the Red Sox problems and how to fix them.
