Jimmy's Bio

As a sports writer and broadcaster doing everything from junior high sports all the way up to Division I and Division 3 NCAA tourney's, I'm a lifetime MLB fan and a HUGE baseball card collector, even had my own shop in 90's but saw the strike close me down:(. Now days I'm still a HUGE baseball card collector and a hardy Cub's fan, don't want to say "Die-Hard" , and I love MLB period, I've played fantsay baseball now for 13 years and own my own ten team, head-to-head , keeper league, having won my last FIVE World Series title's. I also play 15-20 Yahoo leagues as well, H-2-H only, one perk as a sports broadcaster/writer I can get press passes to just about any game in the tri-sate area taking some of my owners along for the games, you haven't been to a game until you've done it as a sportscaster with a press pass. We got to Wrigley, Busch and Cinn. Did I say I love MLB the best? With the exception of my high school and college broadcasts, its MLB only in my crib. I work on my fantsay team's and leagues 365.

Hey Jimmy,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

Hey Jimmy,

I think the best part of sports is the passion involved, so I wrote an opinionated piece on why I think a perfect athlete is capable of crying, both win or lose. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. If you’re too busy, no worries.

Hey Jimmy,

I had an awful day today, so I took it out on MLB. Here's my first humor piece on "the worst case scenarios for all 30 teams." If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

Jimmy, your writing is an embarrassment to yourself and to everyone that knows you. You need to do some serious introspection and make a decision to either improve your writing beyond a retarded fifth grader's level or find a new gig.

Hey Jimmy,

Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.
