About

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.

Short List

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    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.
