About the Webmaster

First of all, you're probably wondering why the hell a website for A.J. Pierzynski, the most hated man in baseball (that's debateable because I'm really not all that big on Derek Jeter)? Well, he was nice to me. Even though my friend Tina says that just because someone's nice to you you don't have to like them, let alone make a website for them, I like A.J. enough as a person and a player to go right ahead and do that. I like that he just kinda says and does his own thing - there's something to be said for honesty and not hiding behind a fake persona. And, he has the skills to back up his actions. I just wish he hadn't hit that HR off Billy Koch October 6th...

Anyway... on to me:

Name: Katie
Location: Denver, CO
Vitals: Taller than David Eckstein
Occupation: I'm an occupational therapist, I just finished up my Masters in sports management at the University of San Francisco & someday I might even use it for something; apparently I'm something of a web designer too.
Really?: Uh, yeah... www.MarkEllisFanPage.com, >, Bobby Kielty Fan Page, and Nick-Swisher.com. Oh yeah, there's also my master's thesis at CBAforFans.com and a friend and I have this website: Dedicated to Baseball.
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!: Minnesota...Minnesota...yeaaaaahhhhh GOPHERS! Yeah, I'm from Minnesota originally. Grew up there a big Twins fan. Gary Gaetti was my favorite. I even went to game 2 of the 1991 World Series. I worked fan relations for the Twins when I was in college. I still cheer for them all the time, unless they're playing the A's. Oh, and I love Gopher Hockey.
Favorite athletes? (besides A.J.): Shawn Estes, Mark Ellis, Brady Anderson, Barry Zito, Eric Byrnes, Jeremy Fikac, Nick Swisher, Tim Hudson, Jason Isringhausen, Nick Swisher, Huston Street, Bobby Kielty, Matt Morris, Doug Mientkiewicz, Eric Hinske, Mark PRIOR, David Eckstein, Mike Sweeney, Kerry Wood, Lance Berkman (not on steroids, just fat), Robert Smith, Jamie Langenbrunner, Jon Ritchie, Doug Jolley, Jeremy Shockey, Chris Hovan, Chris Weinke.
Can't stand? - NYY, SF giants, Red Sux, packers, Sac Kings, Brett Farve, Bret Boone, Jason Varitek, Jose Mesa, Derek Lowe-class, Garret Anderson, Todd Hollandsworth, and any number of other things depending on the day.
Family: Brother, Craig, Mom, mom's dog Camry (black lab), Dad, stepmom, 2 stepsiblings, (Andy and Mikala) and 2 cats (Klondike & Cuddles)(blah). I live with my soon-to-be-husband, Scott, and we're contemplating a pet at some point, too.
Shouldn't you be doing something else?: If the A's are out of town I should be napping... otherwise, no, I'm just fine, thanks.

Anything else you're dying to know? E-mail me!

I © the A's. They're my favorite. But A.J. and the Twins aren't all that far behind.
