Welcome Aboard! If you’ve made it this far, then for better or for worse you have found your way to Conor’s Baseball Blog!  The purpose of this blog is to share some of my ideas – most concerning baseball, some not – with all of you.

Quick background on me: My name is Conor and simply put, I love baseball. I played high school ball at The Peddie School in Hightstown, NJ, college ball at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, and I’ve played with a lot of travel, showcase, and summer ball teams in-between.

Babson is a top business school and there I concentrated in both finance & accounting. I graduated on May 18th, and 2 days later on May 20th I walked into the offices at First Energy Park in Lakewood, NJ as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed intern with the Lakewood BlueClaws, the single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Now that the BlueClaws 2013 season is complete, I find myself as an unemployed 22 year old college grad that lives at home with his parents. My typical day consists of heading to the gym to work out, refreshing my twitter feed 200-300 times, and wondering what my mom is going to make for dinner – not necessarily in that order. I digress.

Regardless of who I am or what I’ve done, what’s important is that I have been involved in baseball from a variety of perspectives. A player, a coach, a front office employee, a fan, a student writing research papers on the Negro Leagues & Baseball’s Influence on America during WWII, and currently a wicked good looking guy seeking employment in an MLB front office in scouting/player development or similar role. From these perspectives I will bring you insight & knowledge like you have never seen before. That may seem optimistic but I am optimistic, so let’s do this!

Enough about me…let’s talk baseball!
