I live in Roy, Utah and love baseball. Without a professional team in the state, I latched onto the Diamondbacks the year they expanded in 1998. I loved watching them play in the 2001 World Series and can't wait to see them play in the Fall Classic again. I am excited to cover all things baseball for Call to the Pen.
