ABOUT ME 

- I've seen a baseball game at 7 different Major League Baseball Parks. (Oakland Coliseum, AT&T Park, Angel Stadium, Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City, Wrigley Field in Chicago, Old Milwaukee County Stadium, old Tiger Stadium)

- I like to collect/wear baseball hats - I have 16 of the 30 MLB teams. There are about 5 I won't buy though.

- I made the All-Star team in Little League as a pitcher in 1993 - I pitched a 1,2,3 inning, walked twice, and stole home.

- In 1994, I had to get stomach surgery for a rare condition for someone my age - had my gall bladder and appendix removed. Didn't know my appendix was being removed til after I woke up! Haha.

- My favorite actor has been Jim Carrey ever since I saw him in The Mask

- I have one older sister who you probably wouldn't be able to tell is my sister by looking at us.

- I like the smell of brand new tennis balls

- I'm an avid baseball autograph collector - some of my best ones include Nolan Ryan, Rickey Henderson, and others....

- The last girlfriend I had was in 2009. Apply here.

- I own a Blu Ray/VHS combo player - which seems to be rare now as it was only one of its kind. Look how much it goes for now. 

 - The first concert I went to was featuring the bands America and the Beach Boys at the Shoreline Amphitheater. My dad took me.

I've gotten to shake hands with some popular baseball players - to me, they count as celebrities - this year, I got to say hi to All-Star Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers and take a photo with him. That's me on the right with my eyes closed, haha.
