About

Ian Casselberry just can't stop writing about baseball. He's contributed to Yahoo Sports' Big League Stew and covered the Detroit Tigers for MLive.com and SB Nation.

Blogging since 2004, his work has led to features on ESPN.com, USA Today Sports Weekly and Maple Street Press' Detroit Tigers Annual. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped him meet Charlize Theron.

A native of Ann Arbor, MI, he denied his Wolverines roots and studied creative writing at the University of Iowa, where his apartment was very clean.

You can find him on Twitter at @iancass. He can also be reached via e-mail at icasselberry@bleacherreport.com.

    My dad said Mays was the best he ever saw. That's good enough for me.

    As a Pistons fan, I grudgingly pick Jordan.

    If neither of these guys made up that lemonade/iced tea drink, I'm not interested.

    Senna had that great documentary made about him.

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

    I live in ACC country, but they won't get the Big Ten (B1G!) out of my blood.

    Great coverage of the Tigers. I see you're in Asheville, and I'll be down for a Tourists game from Michigan in May. Maybe see you at the game!
