BIO

  • Hi. I'm Mark Snyders. I was born in Toronto, ONT, home of the Hockey Hall of Fame. I grew up in Springfield, MA, home of the Basketball Hall of Fame. And some day, God willing, I hope to die in Cooperstown, NY, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'd like to get beaned by a Phil Niekro knuckleball at one of those Hall of Fame fantasy camps.
  • Up until a couple of years ago I worked in advertising. I was a writer. Now I work at home. I'm a Dad. I traded spending my days with adults who behaved like children to raising my children to some day behave like adults. With both jobs you deal with a lot of shit.

FAST FACT: Mickey & Minnie

I'm off with the family to Disneyland tomorrow. I thought I'd share this tidbit before I left.

On May 1, 1951, in a game between the Yankees and the White Sox, Mickey Mantle hit his first career home run. Minnie Minoso hit his second.

It wasn't all good news that day. The Yankees won 8-3.
