Justin Hunter
Justin was dealt a debilitating blow at a young age when he was introduced to the San Diego Padres. He has grown to love (read: obsess over) the sport of baseball as a whole, but has never been able to shake the painful and self-deprecating title of Padres fan.
Justin holds a BS in Business Administration, works as a claims adjuster by day, and loves writing. He is married to a wonderful woman who has learned to love the Padres and his incessant baseball-related stories. He has an one year old son who will either hate baseball or be the greatest player who ever lived. Definitely one of those two.
