My Sports Autobiography

First of all, I would like to say that sports have always been an important part of my life. As soon as I was born i was wrapped up in a Cleveland Browns blanket. As soon as I was able to throw a ball with my father, I was playing pitch and catch. I have been involved in baseball since I was about 7 and fell in love with the game. Mixed in through the years was football and basketball, but baseball was usually a year round thing, always keeping me busy. I played 4 years of baseball and basketball in high school and a couple years of football. I came to Tiffin University to play baseball and played for three years at second base until my recent retirement (and I wont be coming back like Brett Favre either don't worry).

Growing up, cheering for sports was also a big part. I have always been a Cleveland fan whether it be the Indians, the Cavaliers, or the Browns. Ohio State Buckeye sports have also consumed a lot of my television watching in my life. Nothing is better than sitting around a t.v. with a big group of people and cheering for the Bucks. Sports have always been close to me and will continue to do so, even if the Browns or Indians do finish at the bottom consistently every year. In the future, I would love to have a sports marketing job with a major league club (whether it be the MLB, NBA, or NFL) because sports have always been a passion of mine. I feel like it would be a job that I could go to everyday, doing what I love.
