Born and raised in the south metro of Minnesota, Matt has been a Twins fan since day 1. He's a big fan of the Wild and Vikings, as any true Minnesotan should be, but the Twins will always be his favorite team. Matt is an avid baseball card collector, fantasy baseball aficionado, and firmly believes in the 6-4-3 double play as the most poetic sequence in all of sports.
