About Michael »

My name is Michael North and I am graduating from the University of Miami in May 2008. I love all sports except hockey and I played baseball for Penn State during my sophomore year in college. I live in Miami so my favorite teams are the Miami Heat, Dolphins, Hurricanes and the San Francisco Giants (my family originated in Northern California). Writing about sports seems incredibly cool and it is definitely something that I would love to do for a living.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Barry Bonds, Robb Nen, John Smoltz, Orel Hershiser, Will Clark, Pedro Martinez, Jim Thome, Ken Griffey Jr, Brett Favre, Jason Taylor, Chad Johnson, Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson, Alonzo Mourning, Michael Jordan
Favorite Sports Teams

San Francisco Giants, Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes
All Time Sports Moment

Each of Lance Armstrong's victories, Brazil world cup victories, Hurricane football national championship, Miami Heat championship
Most Memorable Game Attended

Barry Bonds becoming the first ever 400HR-400SB player ever, Andres Galarraga hitting a 530 foot homer, Hurricanes over FSU wide left in the Orange Bowl, Penn State vs. Ohio State football in Beaver Stadium in 2005,
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points and just about any other record he has, Nolan Ryan's strikeout record, Cy Young's all time wins record, Tiger Wood's eventual tournament and major records
Ruth or Mays?

Mays because he lost the chance to hit more homers when he served in the Army and when he played in the Polo Grounds and Candlestick; two of the worst home run ballparks for righthanders. Plus his all-around abilities put him over the top.
Unitas or Montana?

Has to be Montana and his 4 Superbowls over Unitas' one.
Pele or Maradona?

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, so Pele without a doubt!
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

SEC because of the football
