Robbie

Hi, I'm Robbie and I am a 15 year old boy who lives in the United States of America. Simply put, I’m a baseball enthusiast. I am a diehard New York Yankees fan, a third generation one in fact, and my grandfather was named after a player on the New York Giants baseball team that has since moved to San Francisco, California. As a diehard Yankees fan, I go to several games each season, and whenever I can’t go to a game, I try to always watch the game on TV or listen to the game on the radio. Baseball is certainly not my entire life, but it’s certainly a huge part of it. In December 2009, I started my own amateur baseball blog with one of my friends. I write analysis on Yankee news and MLB news in general in addition to other baseball subjects. Blogging has been a lot of fun and has made my devotion to baseball grow even more (if that’s possible). My blog, known as 11 or Nothing, now exists in three places: fannation.com, the si.com (sportsillustrated.com) blogging site, blogspot.com, the Google blogging site, and most recently mlblogs.com (majorleagueblogs.com), the mlb.com (majorleaguebaseball.com) blogging site. As an amateur blogger, I can’t get any real sort of accolades, but every time one of my posts gets enough views, I feel a sense of accomplishment. My most popular post ever, a post that consisted of all the information I could find on all 50 players drafted by the Yankees in the 2010 Major League Baseball draft, has amassed over 2000 views. That post was the only post of its kind on the entire internet, and accordingly, whenever I make a unique post or have a profound idea, I get a lot of views (and/or comments). I try my best to give everyone who reads my blog something to think about. Also, when possible, I make my posts have a meaningful message for each of our lives. Yes, writing these blog posts has made a positive impact on me as a person, and hopefully made an impact on at least some of my readers as well.

It’s pretty easy to see where my life is heading. I want to make an impact in the world of baseball, either working for a team (in the baseball operations department rather than public relations or anything else) or at sports media group such as ESPN. This summer, I will be interning at MLB Network, Major League Baseball’s television station. It will be a stepping stone for the rest of my life.
