My name's Joel. I'm a 17 year old high school student who lives in Michigan. My nickname is Zoom Zoom (after Tigers P Joel Zumaya). I was born in Peoria, IL and have been a Cardinals fan for as long as I can remember. There's no atmosphere like Busch Stadium, and there's no heaven like Baseball Heaven. My dad is also a Cardinals fan, and it's been passed down to me.

In addition to being a Cardinals fan, I also like the St. Louis Rams, Michigan Wolverines and Missouri Tigers (football).

I have a mild case of cerebral palsy on my left side (with limitations being a slight limp and little use of my left arm), so I can't really play contact sports. I tried playing baseball, but I was never really any good. I've played golf for 11 years now and have loved it since Day One. I've currently got a 7 handicap and usually shoot between 76 and 83 for 18 holes.

I hope to have a career as a sports journalist. I've always had the dream of being one, ever since I was a little kid. I've always wanted to go to the University of Missouri in Columbia because of their great journalism school.

a fan of

St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball Team

St. Louis Rams National Football League Team

Michigan Wolverines NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Tiger Woods, Payne Stewart Golfer(s)

NCAAF - Missouri Tigers Other Team(s)

Jeff Gordon NASCAR Driver(s)
