Blogger: Sliding Into Home
My name is Greg Cohen, and this is my blog. I'm not a professional writer. I'm just a die-hard Yankee fan, so please forgive me for the occasional typo or grammar mistake. I created this blog because I like to talk about baseball, specifically, the Yankees. I was five when my dad took me to my first baseball game at Yankee Stadium. We had seats in the Loge Boxes on the first base line, and the Yanks won. It was a great day, and Yankee Stadium is still my favorite place on earth. I hope you enjoy the blog.
