I was a sportswriter in Southern California for more than 13 years. I started covering high schools and later moved to covering the Angels as well as Cal State Fullerton for a small, now-defunct paper in Anaheim. I covered Major League Baseball, primarily the Angels but also the Los Angeles Dodgers, for more than 10 years and am a lifetime member of the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America). I also covered the Los Angeles Lakers, USC and UCLA for a number of years.
