About Lewie »

Lewie Pollis is a brilliant, witty, and exceptionally handsome high school senior from outside of Cleveland, Ohio.

An Indians fan since before he can remember, Lewie adopted the Red Sox as his second-favorite team in 2003 because it was an effective outlet through which to channel his hatred for the Yankees.

He got his first subscription to Baseball Weekly when he was four. As early as his T-ball days, Lewie would sit in the dugout and mentally calculate his teammates' batting averages while he waited to bat. While he no longer plays the actual sport in an organized league, he is an incredible fantasy baseball player. Someday Lewie will be GM of a major league team--unless he becomes President.

In addition to reading and writing about baseball, Lewie spends his time reading Watchmen and is on the Editorial Board of Green Pages, the United States Green Party's official publication.

If you want him to read a baseball article, feel free to post it and he'll check it out when he gets a chance. However, Lewie cares very little for other sports and will not read posts about them.

My favorite Bleacher Report article that I've written:

Wow—above and beyond sir. Opening with the Republic was outstanding. Way to give an admittedly trivial subject a bit of a deeper context. I'll remember that...

Nice work, John. I'm not so sure about the contracts' length, though. I think it would be extremely foolish to give Bay five years or Holliday...

I figured that's what you were going for, but it's technically incorrect so I had to make the changes or I wouldn't be doing my job.

I agree that wins are a bad standard to measure pitchers by, much like save percentage is a better gauge of goalies in hockey than their W's.

Everyone has dreams of playing a professional sport. Sirr Parker did in football. But it was impossible for him to do that from where he grew up. But he made it, and he's truly remarkable. It's a story I'd love to share with you:

I'd love your feedback on this and I hope you can check it out. Thank you, and have a great day!

Hey Lewie,

The Channels on the front page (Must Reads, Guilty Pleasures and Best Lists) are Admin only tags. Please let B/R decide what goes in those channels.

We are trying to make those channels an honor and a privilege to make it into. All other tags are up for grabs, but please let us decide what goes in these three tags.

Thanks,

Jeff

Yo man,

Don't usually do this without solicitation, but—given your passionate and intelligent defense of Carpenter on my last article—I'm interested to see what you think about it from this angle.
