Mike has pastored churches in rural Missouri and been happily married, both, for over 30 years. The only thing that has sustained his attention longer is a love for the game of baseball. He cultivated his passion for the game early on as a Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves fan. A move to the Kansas City area after college transformed him into a Royals supporter which has survived the last two decades of futility. He has been playing fantasy baseball since the days when Darren Daulton was a first round pick. Writing about America's pasttime and its players provides him another means of relishing the enjoyment of this great game.
