    Introducing another baseball nerd

    How did you find CS?

    Searching for information about Mormons in Baseball and other sports

    How did you choose your moniker?

    I wanted to promote my site: Mormon Baseball (mormonbaseball.com)

    What do you do (other than read CS)?

    Publish books.

    How many time zones have you lived in?

    3

    What are your sports loyalties?

    New York Yankees
    New York Redbulls
    Real Salt Lake
    FCPorto
    Flamengo (Rio de Janeiro)
    and I follow Mormons in various sports


    Are you looking forward to wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?

    I dunno. I may just ignore it.


    What's your standing in the church? (this was originally meant as a joke but it stuck)

    I'm an active, Liahona Mormon. Currently teaching seminary.

    Why are you so creepy? How long have you been lurking?

    Ask my wife. I've really only lurked occasionally -- perhaps an hour or so total.

    Do you expect anyone to respond to this thread?

    no.

      Welcome baseball nerd. A quick suggestion: that would make an excellent board name.

      Quick but important question: who is your 2012 AL MVP?
      "Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

        One of these days I have to really study sabremetrics...

          Cabrera seemed like the right pick to me, esp. given how well the Tigers did.

            You are absolutely right. Welcome to CS.

                  Or maybe you can brag about watching Trout hit a 2 run homer in the same thread where you argue that RBIs are a worthless stat.

                      You will probably be really jealous of me because I know Eric Sogard's wife and in-laws personally. I also have a bat signed by Dale Murphy. Basically all the Mormons I know.

                      Welcome.

                        Summer after my mission my YA ward went to Mormon Night at Dodger Stadium. Cory Snyder was on the team at the time and he addressed the crowd briefly. I never met him but we did sit near some people that seemed to know him.

                          Also, my sister-in-law made out with McKay Christensen.

                              He's a great guy. He was in my ward and used to let my little brother come over and hit in the batting cage he had in his backyard.
