Kyle FranzoniKyle Franzoni

Kyle Franzoni has the unfortunate distinction of having his very first baseball memory be that of Mookie Wilson's slow grounder going through the legs of Bill Buckner. Since then, it has been an up and down love affair with the game, which naturally lead to putting his thoughts to digital paper and trying his hand at writing about the game he loves. A native of Vermont, where he lives with his wife and twin sons, Kyle is editor of Jays Journal and runs a side project called The Baseball Big Brother Project. He has also published work at Yahoo and Sporting News, in addition to various other sites.
