About

Hey all, I'm Syl. I'm a freshman at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University who wants to turn his love of sports and storytelling into a career. I am huge baseball and college football fan who is hopelessly devoted to the New York Mets (I tell myself it's because they owe me a World Series after 2007-08).

What I love most about sports is their impact on people and society beyond the field of play--their ability to unite and divide, elate and enrage, and the thousands of stories, rivalries, and traditions passed down from generation to genreation.
