"Baseball became part of my life in 1969, a perfect time to become a baseball fan. It was the first year the leagues split into divisions, so my baseball life encompasses that entire era. And of course, it was the year of miracle Mets. In college, I discovered both Strat-O-Matic and Bill James, both helped me think anew about the game. Through the Abstracts, I started scoring games for Project Scoresheet and STATS, Inc. The latter led me to joining STATS in 1990 as their liason to ESPN, where I served for 10 years as the chief researcher for Baseball Tonight. In 2001, I hosted Baseball Tonight Online for ESPN. When that was not renewed, I joined the blogging revolution and started Baseball Musings. I now blog full time and love every minute of it."
