Projecting Greatness: Dauss, Lolich...Verlander
10/13/2009
A 27-year-old aspiring sports writer, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English/Creative Writing from Michigan State University in 2006.
As an Editorial Assistant for a book publishing company in Detroit, I worked almost three years. In-between jobs, I am currently looking for sports writing work around the country.
Baseball and travel have always been my two greatest passions, and someday I hope to combine the two in my professional life. At an early age, I developed a love for the game. My child-like obsession has only increased, as my old age has not stifled my interest in the game.
I attend 50+ Detroit Tigers games each season and enjoy hitting the road to see the Tigs play in other cities. To date, I've been to 16 MLB parks; it is my goal to see all 30 within ten years.
My sports interests do not stop at baseball. I'm heavily interested in NCAA basketball, NCAA football, NHL, NFL, & NBA. I enjoy tracking MLB Minor League player development also.
This year, I've decided to publish all my work on Bleacherreport.com after writing for several sports websites in the past. I would accept any sports position, but long to write for a professional sports franchise.
I co-author "Detroit Tigers Dissector" with Rudy Dominick, a weekly article covering our home team.
For a semester, I attended university in London, England. I've visited Sweden, Norway, and Ireland on weekend jaunts, and have seen more than ten other countries. With no exceptions, I rank Interlaken, Switzerland, the most breathtaking, life-changing locale on earth.
Did I mention that Hall of Fame outfielder, Goose Goslin (registered the series-winning hit in the 1935 World Series for Detroit), is my grandmother's cousin?
I can be reached at Lawre167@gmail.com.
Here's how we all voted. Thanks so much for the help. Enjoy.

Hi Johnny....
Sorry for the late notice, but I need a guest tomorrow to talk some Tigers on the BTR show I co-host called "The Knee Jerks." It's a phone-in deal.
We go live at 11 pm ET Monday nights. The show's URL is www.blogtalkradio.com/thekneejerks.
If you're interested, get back to me and I'll give you more details. We'd have you on from 11:00-11:45-ish.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Johnny
I think MLB needs to revamp their structure and their schedule. What do you think?

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.
He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.
I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.
