About

Still trying to combine medieval politics and swordplay with baseball fanaticism. Die-hard Yankees fan and occasionally delusional. Graduated Syracuse University in 2008, with a degree in history, and attempting to finish an MA in medieval history at Fordham University.

If you can figure out how this relates to baseball, please let me know.

Also love Devils hockey, Syracuse basketball and I grit through Nets basketball and Jets football.

Anglophile, bibliophile and, like Phil Rizzuto, terrified of thunderstorms

Am the only person in the world who has a five-piece sword collection resting comfortably against a cardboard-cutout of Martin Brodeur.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Mariano Rivera, Martin Brodeur, Vladimir Guerrerro, Joe Mauer, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Braun, Shane Victorino, Zach Parise, Patrik Elias, Devin Harris

    Hey Rebecca,

    Mark Buerhle's superhuman performance on Thursday brought back great memories for me of the last American League pitcher prior to pitch a perfect game. On July 18th, 1999, I watched my favorite player David Cone add his name to a hallowed list. Only nine years old, it was a mesmerizing moment much like my first time at Disney World. And in this article, I relived it!
