About

I'm a 23 year old, life long Seattle Mariners fan. I graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a B.S. in Exercise Science with a concentration in Sports Psychology. Right now I'm working as a personal training while I continue my post education for a Masters in Psychology (Sports concentration). I love reading, writing, watching, playing baseball. It's just so interesting and fun that I get goosebumps every time I play catch after the snow thaws in the spring time. I look forward to making some contributions to this site and working on my writing skills.

    Mariners haven't won the World Series yet, but watching Josh Beckett beat up the Yankees in the 2003 World Series is up there.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    August 1997 Mariners @ Twins. It was my first MLB game and it was one of the last with Griffey, A-Rod, Edgar, and Buhner all in the same line up. Moyer pitched that day and Buhner got hurt running into a wall, but not before hitting a HR. It was awesome.

    Thought I would give The Relay for Life one more push before our big event Saturday. This one is a more in-depth look into the story of Dave Dravecky. Also posted a link for the Josiah Herring Funeral Fund!

    Hey Jordan,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

    Hey,

    In 1996, The Yankees had a magical season that would end with a World Championship. In this article, I take a look at the first time I thought the season could be special, a game vs. the Seattle Mariners on May 14th, 1996 at Yankee Stadium, Dwight Gooden on the mound, the rest is history. Please take a look and comment as well. Thanks in advance

    Hey Jordan,

    Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Jordan,

    The Mariners have had an interesting start to 2009 to say the least, I've broken down the lineup and graded the hitters. Would love to hear what you think of it, thanks!
