Business Administration student at Carnegie Mellon University. I have been an avid baseball fan since the beginning of high school, and my dream is to become a member of the Front Office of a Major League Baseball organization (currently working on finding Internships for that with some connections I have right now). In the past I have written for a couple of baseball blogs as the head writer, with those blogs being "Bloggin Buccos" and "The Future GM", and I have also been offered to write for a few small outlets, but I didn't have the time to meet their requirements. Also, I'm not great with the formatting for a blog, and the website my not look that great at first, but I will work all that out in due time.
Bloggin Buccos was a blog that focused solely on the Pittsburgh Pirates. That is what I plan on doing with the "Sunday Pinstripes" blog. I really wanted to build Bloggin Buccos this year, but as I'm sure it's the same at other universities, CMU doesn't really give me much free time. This has prevented me from writing every day, or even every other day, about topics that I find interesting in regards to the Pirates. This has caused me to stop writing about baseball for a few months, but I have never stopped studying the game. Recently, I had the idea to write one or two big feature posts over the course of each week, and use those to make a weekly Pirates blog, with the articles coming out on Sundays. I decided to make a new blog for this instead of using Bloggin Buccos, and with that, Sunday Pinstripes was born.
The name "Sunday Pinstripes" comes from the days when I was younger and the Pirates would wear pinstripes for their day games on Sundays at PNC Park. My friends and I loved that, and I know we miss those jerseys, even though they were worn by some pretty bad teams. Since the articles for this blog will be posted every Sunday, I thought it would be a fitting name.
That's the background for this new blog. It should be easier to keep this blog running, as I only have to write one or two entries per week, and I can cover bigger topics that will be interesting to a larger group of people. That being said, if you would like me to write about a certain topic or answer a big question, don't hesitate to email me at mikemaw45@gmail.com, as I think it's great to write about what is concerning Pirates fans. Thanks for reading this, and I hope you all enjoy the new Pittsburgh Pirates weekly blog, Sunday Pinstripes!
