Hi, my name is Chris and I am a huge New York Yankees fan. I have decided to start a blog for many different reasons. For starters, I am a very passionate Yankee fan. I really think being a fan is a 12 month endeavor. The offseason is just as important as the season is. Out of all my family and friends, I am the biggest Yankee fan I know. When I am not working, my daily activities consist of scanning the Internet for various Yankees articles and checking out updated blogs. By no means am I a journalist, writer, or expert. In fact, I actually do not enjoy reading and writing. I do however enjoy reading and talking about the Yankees with other fans and non fans alike. Since I do consider myself somewhat of an intelligent fan of baseball and would like to communicate with all fans around the world, I have decided to create my own medium. I am just a fan like you, just want to talk a little baseball every once in a while. Also, originally from NJ (20 minutes from NYC) and now living in NC (to work in baseball), I need to keep myself sane since I do not live in the Tri-State area anymore. I really think this could be fun and really looking forward to the challenges and hopefully to the many comments and questions that get thrown my way.
I would like to share some things about myself so that everyone gets to know me. My favorite teams are the Yankees, NY Giants (congrats…Had a dream they repeated in 2009), and the NY Rangers. I really despise basketball and don’t think it is that entertaining. Although, Lebron James is the savior of basketball in my eyes. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t watch it at all. The guy is just an athletic freak of nature. My favorite current baseball player is David Wright ( yeah I know, I will get into that later). My favorite Yankee is Hideki Matsui. My favorite player of all time is Luis Sojo!!! And I think the best ballplayer is Ty Cobb. The worst moment in my life is when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. The greatest moment in my life would be A. Boone’s walkoff HR against the RSox in 2003. Also, I love to play fantasy sports, mainly baseball, football, and hockey. I graduated from York College of Pennylvania in 2005 with degree in Sport Management. My older brother just got engaged, so congrats to him!
