I currently reside in Scottsdale, AZ with my wife and daughter and have grown to love the Dbacks with each passing season since I moved here in '03. I grew up in Vermont and have played baseball for as long as I can remember and will talk, analyze, and reminisce about our national past time all day long. Please feel free to comment on my articles and discuss the state of the team...and as always: the Dude abides.
