Evan's Bio

Born in San Francisco, raised in Richmond, going to school at Cal.

I am a Giants fan. Put simply, I know a lot about them, and like what I know. I also follow the Niners, with a bit less passion, but still follow them. After that, the other Bay Area sports trickle in. The Warriors need to have a change in ownership. Raiders? Al Davis has to go. Has anyone seen the Al Davis dartboard as ESPN Zone? It sums everything up. The Sharks are great! Keep it up, and thanks for introducing me to hockey. And finally, I love Cal football. I was at the Triple OT USC win, and I will be at another before I depart.

I'm a Political Science major here at Berkeley, and have aspirations of law school and sports journalism. I wrote for the Daily Californian last spring, covering Men's Gymnastics.

Here's a link to my Daily Cal page. Read about it! Let me know what 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.

Nah, but I was a Sig at Stanford from 98-01.

I still remember some of that stuff b/c I was consul from 99-00 so I had to memorize tons of it for i-week. Although I know "practicing" members take that secrecy seriously so I won't divulge any of it here ;-)

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.
