TIGERS

I am a huge fan of sports and I follow all of the major sports. I am especially a huge MLB baseball fan and I have many opinions and thoughts about many parts of the league throughout the season. I played 3 varsity sports in high school (soccer, basketball, and baseball), and I am currently on a college basketball team at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. I am an accounting major at college, but I enjoy writing about sports and putting my opinions on current events occurring in sports. I am a large Detroit Tigers and Detroit Lions fan since I am from the great state of Michigan. Since I am going to college in Ohio, I hear all sorts of stuff about Ohio State and I receive much grief since I am from Michigan. I live for sports and would love to tell you my opinions and thoughts about them.

I am 25 years old and currently reside in Grand Rapids, MI, although I will be moving to Houston, TX at the end of August 2011. I enjoy watching and reading about all sports, especially on the yahoo sports website, and am now looking forward to expressing in my own words about such topics. I enjoy watching Detroit Tigers baseball everyday and I am a huge fan of UFC. I look forward to writing for yahoo and the experience it will give me to become a better writer.

Shelly grew up in Northern Michigan listening to the sounds of Ernie Harwell as he updated Tigers radio fans about the 6-4-3 double play that her boys Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker just turned. Born a Tigers fan, she quickly dropped baseball in her semi-rebellious youth to follow other, more socially acceptable mischief. After graduating from Michigan State University in 2003 with a BA in English, She moved down to the Greater Detroit area and quickly rediscovered her childhood love of baseball. A member of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, she frequently feels the need to spread her opinions around to as many people as she can find to listen (as her friends are sick of hearing her talk baseball). When she is not spending her paycheck at the CoPa in downtown Detroit, she is at home watching the game with her very vocal cat, Pumpkin, who is accepting of her owners obsession and often opts to join her in baseball viewing. Shelly also has a strange obsession with ballpark hotdogs and her opinions can easily be bought with a bag of peanuts and a cold beer (or two). Her work can also be seen at www.seamheads.com.

My name is Jason Williamson. I played baseball all my life, and I love everything about the game. There is nothing like being apart of something that keeps in you in-shape, and the level of competition you face. I grew up in Georgia, but I have been a lifelong Red Sox fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching players like Mike Greenwell, Dwight Evans, Oil Can Boyd, John Candeleria, Dave Henderson and many others. I love the tradition that the Sox bring to Boston. The rivalry with the Yankees, the 80 year curse, and of course following the great Teddy Ballgame. The same goes for the Auburn Tigers. I grew up following them and loving the passion that those teams had. Auburn is a beautiufl campus and has great tradition surronding the university.

Hello my name is Ryan. I was born in Dallas, TX as the oldest of three children. My upbringing included many difficulties ranging from the death of a baby brother to having a chronically ill mother. I have had to endure alot of hardship as well in the form of several major surgeries on my legs resulting from sports injuries. I am an avid sports fan but also athlete myself. I grew up playing baseball, basketball, and soccer competitively and currently play minor league baseball in the Detroit Tigers organization. However, my interest is far ranging. I am currently pursuing my masters in clinical counseling, as well as my CFP to become a certified financial planner. I have grown to enjoy topics that I do not know very much about and diving in head first so that I develop understanding and knowledge in other areas. I grab hold of what is true and dive deep. I am currently married and enjoying it thoroughly!

I've been around sports since the third grade, riding the bus with the "big kids" to Detroit Red Wings and Tigers games. Probably my best moment was not earning all-city honors in golf, nor coaching a youth football team to an undefeated season. It was actually scoring a goal in a pick up hockey game at the old Olympia Stadium in Detroit. Most of my writing centers around University of Michigan sports. I joined the sports staff at the student-run Michigan Daily in 1969'"once taking a taxi-cab from Duluth, MN to Houghton, MI with six young ladies headed for the Winter Carnival at Michigan Tech. The following year I began phoning in Michigan hockey covers to the Ann Arbor News while on the road. I also spent time with the Michigan Athletic Department, serving on the Advisory Committee for Recreation, Intramurals and Club Sports. Other than journalism, I also worked in advertising and printing before my retirement in 2009. Today, I spend some of my spare time coaching golf for the First Tee organization, a group affiliated with the World Golf Foundation and Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, FL.
