Mets Blogger Introduction – Jeff Gross

Hi Everybody, my name is Jeff Gross and I will be covering the Mets during this 2009 baseball season. As some of you may know, I am also the site founder, and I would first like to make a statement about this site as a whole.

I just wanted to use this space to give my complete appreciation to the other authors on this site, and fans of baseball in general. It’s the fans that make the game. The conversations, debates, camaraderie, and the overall emotions that go into being a fan of a sport truly make it something incredible to be a part of. This is the exact purpose of the website here at MajorLeagueBlogging.com – It’s a place for fans to interact and be a part of a community that is chocked full of other enthusiastic and knowledgeable fans. So I encourage everyone to enjoy the site, comment, interact, and get involved!

Seriously, baseball is one of my biggest passions, and in the past few years I have really started to get completely engulfed in the world of Major League Baseball. In essence, that is why I started this blog. There really was no place for me to vent, brag, or otherwise get my thoughts out about the sport. I also figured there were others like me who wanted to do the same. This site was born on the foundation of true fans who have nothing but appreciation and love for the sport as a whole.

Ok, so a little about me: I am 24 years old and I live on Long Island. As you might have guessed I am a lifetime Mets fan, as is my mother and father. We do have a split household though, my brother and sister…both Yankees fans! My fiance WAS too but she is in the process of being converted.

For me watching the Mets has always been an awesome experience. We all know they have their ups and downs like all teams, but in the end they have brought me far more happiness than sadness. I know, I know, it has been tough the last few years for us Mets fans, but I am very confident that this year will be better overall.

We have a revamped bullpen, a new stadium, and I feel an overall better team. So just to let you all know, I will be posting a player by player rundown over the next few weeks. I plan on breaking down each position the best I can, and give some insights on some of the players and their potential impact on the team this season. I will also try to keep you Mets fans out there up to date with all of the up to date news and stories surrounding the Mets and their training camp.

Oh yeah, and there is also a chance that we may have some guest bloggers of some notoriety chiming in every so often about the New York Mets…more on this later.
