When I was fifteen, my baseball coach condemned me to a stands-bound life. "Graham, you're a pretty good fielder," he said. "But unfortunately it's easier to teach kids how to field than it is to show them how to hit." Stung by this unceremonious end to my baseball career, I trained my crosshairs on his breed. Over time, I have come to realize that he isn't unique, American sports are full of coaches just like him....
Recently, I have written weekly Yankee columns for the Bronx News Network blog, articles for the Norwood News, a Bronx newspaper, as well as Sumter, SC's newspaper, The Item. I am currently a Master's candidate at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.

Some seriously awesome shots in there man – I particularly like the one of the guy climbing the post.
That awkwardly positioned hat, those over-sized shades – that dude has Staten Island written all over him.
The section of the crowd I was in had more than its fair share of Staten Islanders. They were loud, they were proud — I got used to it.

Staten Islanders: keeping Brooklyn and Queens baseball fans loyal to the Mets since 1962.
In response to another comment. See in context »I always thought Staten Island was primarily Mets territory, no?
In response to another comment. See in context »Nice photo set, thanks for sharing it. Those parades can be pretty intense. I remember at the Giants’ parade, following the Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, that about twenty people in the crowd started rocking an ambulance that was parked on Barclay Street. Good times.
Thanks!
Yeah, I think the Giants parade was a little rowdier. It was longer since they won and certainly more surprising.
