Joel Gillespie of the local online magazine, Smile Politely sat down with me Saturday and interviewed me for what can be best described as a “get-to-know-your-local-blogger” profile. The end product, Zealous about Illini baseball turned out really well in my opinion.
It was a fun chat. Joel as it turns out was a baseball fan himself. An Iowa product, he roots for the Twins. I tried to goad him into talking trash about the White Sox but to his credit, he would have none of it.
It also seems that he follows the Illinois baseball team. It won’t be long before they start playing at Illinois Field so I’ll have to invite him out for a home game sometime.
thanks for the great article, Joel!
