Case Study Blog

In thinking of what type of writing I would ever pursue if I would want to make it a career, I felt the choice would be easy. As you could possibly guess, I am a giant fan of sports. Growing up, I played football, basketball, and most importantly, baseball. I mean, my first baby picture was taken with a cubs outfit on. As I grew older, my knowledge of baseball has expanded exponentially throughout the years. With playing experience through college, I can relate to major league players that someone who may not have played could not. Also, being involved in coaching junior high baseball expanded my knowledge in writing about baseball as well. Being able to relate to major league managers, though on a small scale, would also influence my writing by having knowledge on the managing aspect as well as being a player. My style of writing would be most beneficial in a sports magazine. I think with the insights I could offer because of my knowledge of playing and managing, my writing could be refreshing in the opinionated Sports Illustrated. Being able to write with the players and managers in mind rather than bashing them, in most cases, could create more friendly relationship between players/managers and writers.
