Welcome to BoSoxInjection.com, meet our talented staff!

Derek Stykalo, Senior Editor

Growing up I had hockey on the brain for most of my life.  In 2003 that all changed and to this day I don’t know what it was, but my love affair with the Boston Red Sox began and what a ride it’s been.  I still consider myself new to Red Sox Nation and to help make up the lost years I’ve completely immersed myself in the history of the ballclub and all that comes with it.

My lovely wife is also a diehard Red Sox fan, which makes our marriage a lot easier, but also, makes her understand my love to follow them and write about them.  Aside from my wedding day, the 2004 and ’07 World Series victories are some of my most memorable days.

During the summer months when the Red Sox aren’t playing I can be found on the golf course, but still find myself thinking about the latest Sox game.

I welcome all comments on any post so please don’t hold back, I’ve got thick skin…..after all I am a Red Sox fan!

Feel free to email me directly with any questions, comments or concerns.

Earl Nash – Staff Writer

Baseball is my life: writing, coaching, announcing, umpiring, reading. I am a registered member of the Red Sox Nation and enmeshed in the team on a daily level, on the internet, on the phone, and at the hardware store. In 1963 I was a Sports reporter at the Syracuse Herald-Journal; covered Syracuse University sports, HS football and basketball; reporter at the N.Y. Journal-American (1964-65), wrote for HOCKEY MAGAZINE.

I took early retirement  [1968-2000, SFSU, English Prof.] to spend more time with the love of my life…BASEBALL ! At SFSU, I was a the baseball play-by-play announcer for the games that were broadcast on Viacom cable.

Since retiring and moving to Maine in 2000, I have coached, managed, umpired, run fantasy baseball teams, and posted often in websites and blogs. Currently I am the Pitching Coach at the local HS and I umpire at the lower age levels. [55 years of umpiring and counting!] My wife, Rebecca, and I live on a small farm (5 acres) and are moving toward maximum sustainability.  I teach her about baseball; she teaches me about everything else.

 Stephanie VanSlyke – Staff Writer

I am Irish. I always feel like this explains my love for the Red Sox. In Texas it doesn’t seem to explain anything.
I am no prolific writer but I will tell you this, everything I know about true love, I learned from the Red Sox. I learned what its like to believe in something and it break your heart, nay, not even acknowledge that you loved it so much in the first place. I learned that in life sometimes you strike out, and sometimes you take a chance and steal home. I learned devotion and loyalty and not giving up because there are a few bad stretches. I also learned that I was not alone in this love affair.

All Boston fans are like me. Boston fans are the best of the best. We are the ones that you bring up certain names and we are pounding tables and tearing up like a bunch of overgrown first graders. But this, is true love. So while I live in Texas, and my eyes may never gaze on Fenway Park (oh man they better at some point!) I am a Red Sox fan.
