Kristen is a baseball junkie. She's got an MA in Teaching and plenty of masters-level journalism courses from Michigan State University on her transcript. When she's not watching, listening to, or attending a game, she is busy watching her own kids play fastpitch and baseball. She also loves to read anything and everything she can about the history of the game and the players who made it what it is today. She and her son are working on seeing a game in every MLB stadium.
