About

Toronto based. Been a Jays fan since 1977, an Expos fan before that. Grew up on the NBC Game of the Week; Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek, Joe Garagiola. Baseball is one game that still bears some resemblance to the game I grew up with. I hate sabermetricians telling me that Tony Perez and Andre Dawson weren't that good. Or that anybody can drive in 120 RBI and it's just a "counting" stat. If it makes me "old school" then I wear the badge proudly.
