Baseball is just a game to some but a life consuming endeavor for John Czech. John grew up a lifelong Tigers fan. First becoming a fan in 2003 when his beloved Tigers lost 119 games. Since then, he realized that he didn't quite have the bat speed to hit a fastball and couldn't stop chasing curveballs in the dirt. So writing about the game he loves is the next best thing.
