About Adam »

I'm an 18 year old high school senior from Michigan. I attend Central Michigan University and major in Journalism. I am currently trying out for their division one baseball team and was just hired as a sports writer by the university's award-winning newspaper, the CM-Life.

Other sports I follow pretty regularly are hockey and college football. I think the NFL is slow-paced and monotonous compared with the college youth and energy. Same with basketball. I never watch the NBA, unless there's some thug throwing a fist in someone's face. Golf is alright if I want to fall asleep watching something.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Brett Favre, Nicklas Lidstrom, Tim Lincecum, Mark Grace, Greg Maddux
Favorite Sports Teams

Chicago Cubs
All Time Sports Moment

Boston Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Phillies, August 22nd, 2006. It was the first time I'd been to Wrigley Field. I always tell people that being a big Cubs fan and going to Wrigley is like a through-and-through Christian going to the birthplace of Jesus, just on a slightly smaller scale.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Career homerun record.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth because he is the face of baseball, period.
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas because he is our connection between old-time and current football.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, he played with so much heart.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. Nobody in hockey was or is more fun to watch.
Pele or Maradona?

Wish I knew who these guys are.
Federer or Sampras?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger!
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt, RIP.
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 10 (regional identity, I AM from Michigan after all), but the SEC is the strongest. The SEC turns up strong teams in every sport.

Hey everybody!

I've been keeping up a site of my own, just learning how to create and manage different internet tricks.
The site is www.wrigleyivy.blogspot.com
I TRY to update it everyday, so please don't turn into Hulk if I'm a day or two behind. Senior year of high school is very busy, especially with baseball coming alive.
And feel free to leave me an email!

Thanks!

Stay classy,
Adam
