Born in San Francisco on May 7, 1979. I enjoy reading, watching tv, gardening, and going to movies. 6'0", 255 lbs. Explosive bat, (formerly) speedy. Bats: R. Throws: Badly.
Baseball history: Turned a double play at age 7. Best amateur game: I went 5-9 with 3 1bs, a 2b, and 3b (and 2 ks). Injured my knee (practicing, ironically) the day before my semi-pro tryout in 2003.
Was at Game 20 in 2002. Caught a ball from J. Dye in his first game back in 02. Was at Game 2, 2002 ALDS, Game 5, 2003 ALDS, Game 3, 2006 ALCS, and Game 5, 2012 ALDS. Got to bat at AT&T park (5 pitches, struck out) in 2007. Saw part of the AAA All-Star game in San Francisco. Attempted to see the 2010 Home Run Derby in Anaheim (got stuck on the grapevine for 2+ hours). Went to Matsui's walkoff game earlier this year. Planning to attend All- Star Game in Minneapolis in 2014. Planning to go see Frank Thomas' induction into Cooperstown.
Favorite baseball players: A's: Henderson (both), Stewart, McGwire, Canseco, Tejada, Chavez, Swisher, Thomas, Bradley, Dye, Long, Stairs, Kennedy, Piazza, Cust, Bradford, M.Sweeney, Hudsonmulderzito, Willingham, Cespedes
Favorite obscure and semi-obscure A's players: Mabry (Mr. Clutch), Lilly, the late C. Lidle, Bowie and McMillon.
Favorite non-A's players: Griffey Jr., Sosa, Bonds, Galarraga, Sheffield, Thome, Al.Belle, the Fielders, Pujols, R.Howard, J.Morgan, M.Vaughn, Ripken, Gwynn
