Expectations Aside: A Week of Grapefruit League Baseball

For the past 11 years, I have traditionally fled to the safe havens of Arizona or Florida for a weekend of baseball and good times.  This year, through Ball State University, I have the incredible opportunity of spending the entire week down in the heat of the Grapefruit League to cover a variety of stories about the players, the teams, and whatever we can fit in.  I will be traveling southward with my 15 colleagues on March 3rd for what hopes to be a week full of hard work and great times.

Although I am one of the few non-News majors, my role on the team involves working with all groups on the statistical front.  As an Actuarial Science/Mathematical Economics double major, I have been deemed “numbers guy”.  Over the next few weeks, I will be updating the blog with the latest happens, interesting statistical research for our stories, and pretty much anything I feel like writing about.  Until next time…
