Hey:

I wrote up some tips and guidelines for AGM beat writers. Please read them over when you get a minute.

This message is going to all "beat writers", not just you, so if you already read the page I'm pointing out, cool. Thanks!

I am a science teacher who loves baseball. More likely, I am a baseball fan who became a science teacher because I couldn’t hit or throw a baseball.

My teaching career began in 1962, and I have been involved with the New York City Education system in various capacities. I received my doctorate in science education from NYU in 1968. I have done research on science teaching, and enjoy writing.

Casey Stengel was responsible for my first baseball “degree,” and in 1998, Joe Torre and Don Zimmer saw to it that I received an advanced “degree.” For that, I cannot thank them enough. Almost all my free time is spent watching, reading, or thinking about baseball.

I enjoy sports-related, news, and science websites.
