I am a freelance baseball writer living in Corvallis, Oregon.  In truth, for the past 30 years I have been a computer professional by day, but this site is devoted to the rest of my life.  I spent my childhood in Connecticut, my college years in New York and several years in Rhode Island and Massachusetts before moving to Oregon in 1993.  I am now happily joined by Jane, Maya, Drew, Cassius and Ivy in the idyllic Pacific Northwest.

In 2012 the University of Nebraska Press published Pitching, Defense and Three-Run Homers, a book on the 1970 Baltimore Orioles that I co-edited.  In 2010, UNP published my biography of Joe Cronin, which you can read more about by clicking on the book above.  The other images are for two books I co-wrote in the past, and a more extensive list of articles I have published.

Ongoing projects include:

• A book on the Red Sox of the 1950s, which I co-edited with Bill Nowlin, is due in early 2012.
• A book on the 1975 Cincinnati Reds, which I am editing, is in progress.
• A book with Dan Levitt, my co-author on Paths To Glory, on a subject we are still working out.

Notable milestones:

• Founder and director of the Baseball Biography Project, which aims to research, write, edit, and publish a biographical article on tens of thousands of baseball players and personages.  See our web site.
• Past president of Northwest Chapter of SABR (2003-2004).
  
• Received (with Dan Levitt) the 2004 Sporting News-SABR Baseball Research Award for the book Paths to Glory.
• Received  2010 McFarland-SABR Baseball Research Award for "A Tale of Two Umpires," published in Baseball Research Journal 38.
• Finalist for the 2011 Seymour Medal for Joe Cronin: A Life in Baseball.
• Received the 2008 Bob Davids Award, given to SABR for meritorious service and research.
