About Jonathan »

Born less than 2 miles from Anaheim Stadium I grew up a life long Angels fan, in the shadow cast by Vin Scully's voice on my father's car radio. My father was dismissive of the upstart Halos prefering the pedigree of winning with class that epitomized the O'Malley owned Dodger franchise. Fortunately for me his fuel frugality overrode his Dodger preference and he took our family to many Angels games eventually purchasing season tickets in the mid 80's. I married in 2002 and my wife, caught up in the fall frenzy, has become an ardent fan of our hometown team.

I'm back to baseball. It's about the playoffs. Here, I analyze what the ALDS and NLDS would look like if the playoffs started today. It's my first baseball article in weeks, so give it a look. Thanks as always.

Jonathan,

The third slideshow in my series on the best at each position for each MLB team is finished and this one is on second basemen. I'd love to hear what you think of my selections if you get a chance.
