| JJ Stoppard believes in the Church of Baseball, Ernie Harwell and the Detroit Tigers — a solid foundation, don’t you think? A graduate of Wayne State University, JJ grew up in the Midwest (mainly the metro Detroit area) and is a fan of all Detroit sports teams … yes, even the Lions. |
 |
Graham Houston - Reds |
| In the midst of the Reds’ first playoff run in 15 years, Graham left Cincinnati for Colorado — a safe, 1,000-mile vantage point from which to watch the Reds get no-hit by Roy Halladay. Ten months later, and still riding the hope of last year’s team, Graham has found the life of a transplanted Reds fan quite difficult. Games start at five now, not seven. Afternoon games start at the unheard of 10 am. But schedule adjustments are made, sleeping schedules altered. Despite the perpetual frustrations and constantly faltering confidence, the Reds will always be Graham’s team, no matter what time zone he’s in. |

Currently living in Colorado, Wyatt is a partial season ticket holder to the Colorado Rockies and is extremely hopeful to see the Giambino managing the Rockies in 2013.

While you may not see the 6’2 lefty pitching on your TV any time soon, you may see his name at the top of some riveting Chicago Cubs news…and let’s be honest, some pretty ridiculous news too (we’re looking at YOU Zambrano). He does not believe in the “wait till next year” mantra, he lives it…and that’s dedication, holmes. |

From the Red Wings to the Lions (unfortunate sometimes) and the Tigers to the Pistons, I love them all. I spent time growing up playing baseball everyday throughout the summer until I started coaching Little League teams in high school. It is easily my favorite sport and the Detroit Tigers are my favorite team. |
 |
Matthew Hamilton – Cardinals |
| I’m 18 years old, currently living in Virginia and a Cardinals fan, thanks to my family (my mom is a St. Louis native.) I always liked baseball but didn’t get really passionate about it until August 2009 when I finally went to my first game at the new Busch Stadium (and my first major league game in four years). Since then, I have become a full-out baseball fanatic! I am currently in college studying Physical Education. |

Rob Harris – Cubs |
| I was born in Cardinals country, but came over the Cubs at a very young age. Jack Brickhouse was the grandfather that I never had, and I would run home after school to catch the end of the Cubs game on Channel 9. I’ve lived in Chicago my entire adult life, and I’ll never leave until the Cubs win the World Series. After that, perhaps I’ll think about it. I love writing about baseball, and I hope you’ll enjoy my posts in this space. |
