I live in Connecticut, the Mason-Dixon Line in the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. My first game at Fenway Park was June 25,1978 when, as an 8-year old, I was instantly hooked by Fenway and the Sox as they beat the Orioles 4-1. Ever since, I've been a diehard and have visited Fenway over 70 times. I know my baseball and am never short of opinions so I started a web show to get my thoughts out there. Whether it's the Sox, Yanks or the sport in general I'll always give it to you straight. I'm also an avid Dallas Cowboys and New York Rangers fan!
