Stop me if you've heard this one before: Adam is a lifelong baseball fan! Some of his earliest memories involve seeing his beloved Cardinals at Busch Stadium, igniting a passion that lives to this day. Adam majored in sport management at Rice and received his MBA from Vanderbilt, though it is complete coincidence that these schools have strong baseball programs. He was an intern with the Astros in Fall 2005, when Houston made its World Series appearance, though he secretly still rooted for the Cardinals to beat the Astros in the NLCS that year.
