About

Born in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Parents placed baseball before all things on God's green Earth. Mom's grew up a NY Giants fan, Pops grew up a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. When both teams betrayed their fans (thanks Omally) my parents became Yankees fans; yes I know, the Roman Empire. Better to be loved by an empire than betrayed by a bum. I root for the Yankees come hell or high water...period.

    Hey Jared!
    Thanks for the read and comment, man! I appreciate it. It's very seldom that I'll step out of my NASCAR writing zone and venture into the "big four sports." I look forward to writing more articles up!

    Take care!
