Twenty-something, lover of baseball, travel, and traveling for baseball. I don't care about stats that don't appear on a scoreboard, and I listen to my gut for opinions and memories for justification.

A firm believer that when things get complicated, take a few steps back, take a deep breath, and look forth at the simplicity and beauty that is the Great American Game. Love it for what it is, and prepare to take all that it gives us, good or bad.

Allegiance to the National League. Dedicated fan of the Atlanta Braves, supporter of the Washington Nationals, disliker of the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. I don't care about the Florida Marlins unless they scrounge wins on the Braves or blissfully ruin the nights of the Mets or Phillies.

a fan of

Virginia Tech Hokies NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

North Carolina Tar Heels NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team
