Hitting Leadoff

Welcome to Double Play! You have somehow come across our blog, so here's the scoop. Co-author Gio and I are big fans of baseball, particularly of the New York variety (Mets and Yankees, respectively). This year, we decided to start this site as part of getting ourselves excited for the upcoming season. We will cover a variety of topics such as sabermetric analyses, player/team stories, or conventional rants on how so-and-so player is just downright awful for a fantasy baseball team (Yeah, I'm looking at you AJ). Oh, and the occasional hilarious headline on how K-Rod beat up another in-law. Anger management much?

Needless to say, we do not plan on focusing exclusively on the Yanks or Mets; there's too many other ballplayers out there to berate and/or praise. As a heads-up, our entries may not always be squeaky clean, but hey, it's a free country. I will also apologize in advance for any jokes that fall flat on my face, I'm new to this "humor" thing. Hopefully it's funnier than this...


or this...



aaaand definitely this.



Okay, the visitor count has probably gone negative at this point (If you don't know who the above pitcher is, it's just better not to ask).

So whether you are a hopeless Mets fan, a rider on the Yankees bandwagon, or just an overall fan of the sport, we hope our blog can contribute in some way to your love of the game. Thanks for reading!
