Off Topic and Off His Rocker...

[AZ JazzyJ]

Granted, this has absolutely nothing to do with pins and it is a blatant attempt at self-promotion but I thought I would let you know what is going on in my life. As many of you know, I have a casual interest in baseball and specifically the Arizona Diamondbacks. You may also know that the Diamondbacks have made the baseball play-offs and are playing the St. Louis Cardinals in the first round. Last week, I received an email from the Fox network and I was asked if I would be willing to write a daily column about Diamondbacks baseball from a fan's point of view for FoxSports.com. It sounded kind of interesting so I told them I could probably give them a hand. Yesterday, my first article was published and can be found on the STL-ARI page under the name Diamondbacks Fan: Baseball Playoffs Are Cool . It has been kind of interesting as I have never really written anything before and I just wanted to share it with you guys.

Jeff that sounds like so much fun to be part of Fox. I also keep up with baseball
when I do not trade pins or spend time with my family. My fav. team is the Braves.

Congrats TTFN Susan

Casual????? Methinks the Babylonian Boy Toy is also a Master of the Understatement.

Congrats on the column, Jeff!

Wow Jeff!! Way cool!!!

So (and you already know that I know very little about baseball), is there a chance that the D-Backs could play the Yankees in the World Series?

You go, boy!!! What an honor...your reputation as a storyteller and writer must have preceeded you. Congratulations from Red Sox territory...sniff,sniff,sniff...........

Congrats Jeff!!! That's awesome, to be able to write about something you have such a passion for! And since the Phillies blew it, I'll be routin' for your team (as long as they don't play the Yankees).

Jeff,
Are you sure your serious wife Trina didn't write that. I read it and kept looking for the jokes. I didn't expect any snide remarks, but at least one joke.
I really didn't know there was a serious side to Jeff. I guess he doesn't fool around when it comes to his Diamondbacks.
Congratulations on the new venture, very good article. Peggie

That's great! I tried your link, but it wanted me to download a macromedia thing and my webtv can't download.

How do I buy your patriotic landyard? I sent a couple of e-mails and one pm and posted a couple of times on the pin forum.

[goofymom/pop]

Way too cool. But Jeff you know what....I thought you were a writer. I had no clue you didnt write for a living. Awesome and congratulations....

By the way....ahhhhhummmmm....I sure hope the Diamondbacks are playing the Indians in the World Series...and if so you can stay at our house when you fly to Cleveland for the game....and I promise not to razz you too much about the Indians winning....lol. Lets both keep our fingers crossed.
