Blog Recommendation

I discovered a new blog site and I wanted to share it with everyone. I hardly ever do this…but this one I do recommend. I have a baseball blog site and there I met a young lady who is 18 years old and wants to be a Baseball Writer. That is not the most common goal of a teenager and she introduced herself and her blog to me a few weeks back. Sophia is a fantastic writer. Baseball needs more female writers and she IS a really good one.

I realize not many of you are baseball fans but if you know any…please send them her way. I only post on my baseball site every now and then but she handles her site professionally. I just post on mine when something happens.

Her site is: https://sophiakd4.wordpress.com/ and her name is Sophia.

Sophia is mentioned in this article at the bottom…not by name but the author talked to her. You can click the link at the bottom for the full article.

Anything else you’d like to share?

“A few months ago, a young woman and her job coach reached out to me and a handful of other writers who cover the Phillies, including Allie Foster, Alex Coffey, and Todd Zolecki. This young woman writes her own Phillies’ blog with the goal of someday covering the Phillies for a major publication.

I had the privilege of chatting with her for about an hour about writing. She faces neurologic challenges, but she’s a determined young lady and I’m honored to be able to help someone on their writing journey. The opportunity to meet and help people like her would not be possible if not for Ethan giving me the chance to write for TGP.

I love researching players and the history of this franchise, and it’s incredible to work alongside and learn from the incredibly intelligent and welcoming staff at TGP, but by far the best part is the opportunity to interact with so many more fans of Philadelphia baseball.“

  1. Subscribed! Following her passion – good on her. (Doubt I’m in ‘in the know’ enough to add much comment / feedback, but as a fan of the sport and reader of baseball books, then this will be an added knowledge base for me. Cheers.

    1. Thanks…she is a good writer.
      When I was a kid I had two goals… One of them was to be the third baseman for the Dodgers or to be in a rock band as big as the Beatles…well…I failed on both counts!

  3. I’m afraid I’m hardly into sports and know next to nothing about it. I’ve tried to like baseball twice, having been to two games. I find it, how should I put it, a bit tedious. To me it feels like it seemingly takes forever for a team to score. I guess if I see I game I’d like a bit more action like basketball, ice hockey or tennis. Growing up in Germany, of course, I also had to watch soccer. I ended up following the German professional league (Bundesliga) for a few years.

    As somebody who enjoys writing a lot, especially if it’s about music, I love the fact this young lady combines her passion for writing with her interest in baseball.

    1. Christian if you come across anyone that likes baseball… let them know…she is a good writer. Baseball needs younger writers and fans like this.

  4. it’s definitely great to see a baseball writer who’s obviously interested and knowledgeable and is that young, female too. Sarah Langs is the only female baseball writer I can think of really. Hope Sophia succeeds!
