Let’s get this out of the way upfront — this article isn’t going to be about the Cardinals, at least not really. I’m more of a peripheral writer here than anything else at this point, coasting on the efforts of people like Aaron, Tyler, Heather, Josey, and John, but even for me, this article is not going to be very Cardinals-heavy. I do hope it will be interesting, though, and hey, I get to pick the topics here. Today, I want to write about how I got into writing about baseball in the first place, and the lessons I’ve learned as a result.
