Explanation of nickname: I've always preferred staying up late, plus I work nights, so under the pressure of coming up with a nickname during my initial practice/tryout, this won out.
Occupation: Sports Web Producer, Author
Favorite MLB team(s): Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Browns
Favorite historical player(s): Favorites growing up: Brooks Robinson, Ken Singleton. Others: Ty Cobb, George Sisler, Ken Williams, Al Simmons, Pete Reiser, Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson.
How became involved with vintage base ball: My brother played for the vintage 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings team. When I moved to Milwaukee in 2006, he recommended seeing if they had any vintage teams. Unfortunately, I was curtailed after stricken with transverse myelitis in April '06. However, while I am not fully recovered, I was able to rehab myself back to where I could play and found the Cream Citys in '07 and then joined the Grays in '08.
