My distinguished baseball career ended with only one home run, I swear it's true and I own the baseball to prove it. Unfortunately, it was at the age of 12. But even before then, I grew a distinct passion for all sports, particularly the hometown Pittsburgh (and college) teams. But perhaps most unfortunately, my obsessive-compulsive complex remains with the Pirates. I was the Assistant Sports Editor of the Pitt News in 2008-2009.
