Dan Graziano

An avid baseball fan but a mediocre player, Dan Graziano
didn't play
sports in college -- he wrote about them instead. Since it
took up all
of his time there anyway, he didn't have a lot of other
options than to
make a career of it. Within two years of graduation he was a
full-time
baseball writer -- a job that has taken him all over this
country and
all over the world. Still, no matter how many times he had
deep-dish
pizza in Chicago, coffee in Seattle, or clam chowder in
Boston, there
was never a place like New York. It was when he moved to New
York that
his career took off, that he really felt at home, and where
he started
his family, finally and thankfully putting all of the lunacy
of the
single-guy life behind him. A life on the road, working nights,
weekends, and holidays, somehow ended up leading to a very
happy,
nicely peaceful home life. He's now gone suburban and moved
to New
Jersey, where he lives with his wife and son, and is not
ever haunted
by relationship ghosts.
