I have been a freelance writer for a few years now. Somehow in the hustle of trying to make rent each month, it never occurred to me that I should write about my favorite thing in the world, baseball. And specifically, my beloved Philadelphia Phillies. This blog will be largely Phillies-centric, though I may occasionally have a few things to say about baseball at large or the other sports teams I follow closely (mostly the Sixers and Temple football and basketball). I write from the perspective of a fan and don’t even remotely consider myself a journalist. I love statistical analysis and I have started to get into some of the new-school stats more and more, but my favorite thing about baseball is the intangible. The way you know a player is good because you watch him everyday, even though there is no quantifiable way to explain it. I think of baseball as part of a larger meta narrative and I write about the Phillies because, in a way, they are the story of my life.
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and I now live in Manhattan. When I am not writing or watching the Phillies, I coach junior high basketball and varsity baseball at a school in the city. If you’d like to read some of my other work, you can do so here.
I love your site. Keep it up !
