My name’s Dave Meisel. I’m a student at Hamilton College in upstate New York. I’m an aspiring sports journalist; I hope to follow in the footsteps of my father, who once was a beat writer for the New York Daily News. Right now, I plan on majoring in Communications in college and then attending graduate school for journalism. I’m also in the process of getting a radio show here at Hamilton on WHCL 88.7, and a role in the school newspaper, The Spectator.

And I am as diehard at Mets fan as I know. I’m opinionated and I like expressing my opinions, and I like to think about the Mets, and baseball, on a very analytical and critical level. I have developed an immense passion for baseball since I really caught on to the Mets in 2004, as a teenager. I can safely say I can count the number of games I missed in 2009 on one hand.

In addition to the Mets, I love baseball in general. It is a beautiful game. It takes more finesse than any other sport, but is physically demanding unlike any other. I feel that having played in high school (and potentially in college) I’ve gained some great insight into all aspects of the game. In this blog, in addition to day-to-day Mets talk and ideas, I’ll discuss certain aspects of the game, various things I notice in any and all baseball games, and anything that might cross my mind.

If you like what I have to say, you can also check out my articles on Bleacherreport.com, and my posts on Disgruntledmetsfan.com.

I hope you enjoy reading!
