Bio: Having grown up in Toronto during the mid-1980s and early '90s I'm amazed at the look on the faces of people in the early 20s when I tell them there was a time when the Maple Leafs played second fiddle to the Blue Jays on the T.O. sporting scene.

And for my friends and me growing up on the not-so-mean streets of East Toronto back in the day baseball was a dawn-to-dusk summer activity--as I suspect it was and still is in so many other parts of the country.

Baseball has always been and always will be the best game to talk and read about, which I guess makes it perfectly suited to a blog, wouldn't you agree?
