I'm a freshman at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in either history or philosophy on a Pre-Law track and minoring in The Business of Sports. I'm a huge Houston sports fan in general but my first team was the Astros when my dad started taking me to games at a very young age. All-time favorite Astro is definitely Craig Biggio and 2005 was the best year of my life.
