Born and raised in San Diego, I have been a Padres fan since the team began in 1969. I have also been a season ticket holder for the better part of the last 20 years. I started writing blog posts as a fan more than 10 years ago but am very happy to now be part of the Gaslamp Ball team covering the San Diego Padres. I have a particular interest in the minor league system and will spend part of my time here covering prospects and the minor leagues.
