A lifelong amateur baseball junkie, I enjoy the banter amongst similar people. I am an amateur baseball umpire working high school, American Legion, Senior Babe Ruth and Stan Musial games in the Greater Boston and Metro-West areas. I am married with a 17 year old son (left-handed pitcher) living in Millis, MA. I follow the minor league talent more than the major league team and have been very impressed with the Sox drafts since Theo came on board. Looking forward to seeing Pedroia and Murphy help out the big club in 2007 and can't wait for the power arms to make their way to the Back Bay.
