Brian JohnsonBrian Johnson

A Minnesota/Jersey mutt, you could say Brian Johnson honed his writing skills at the University of Minnesota, but his primary focus in the early 00's was to get to the Dome early, sit front-row CF general admission, and converse with Torii Hunter in-between home run robbery. Having suffered in DC for over five years, he has gladly traded the traffic and high cost of living for the cold winters. There's always another baseball season in Minnesota though, and he can ride his bike to Target Field on a dedicated path. Life is good.
