I grew up in small town Missouri growing up on a farm and rooting for the Cardinals. Now, I am an attorney in Chicago, surrounded by Cubs fans. I like to do musical theater when I'm not watching ball games or arguing in court. I hope to bring a legal perspective and understanding to seemingly ordinary baseball happenings. I am also interested in the behavioral/psychological aspect of baseball and I hope to write about that as well.
