I was born and raised in South Windsor, CT, where the Red Sox were (and still are) king in my family’s household. Currently living in Brighton, MA, working my dream job in the Red Sox Productions department. Writing is my passion, especially when it comes to sports.

Oliver Nissi
I live in Watertown, MA. I go to school at Dean College full-time, studying sport management. I love baseball since the moment my dad took me to Fenway Park when I was a kid. I fell in love with the game. From the beauty of the ballpark, to witnessing fans run on the field, to almost catching foul balls. My first vivid memory of watching Red Sox baseball was from the 2003 ALCS when Pedro went toe-to-toe with Don Zimmer. I was lucky enough to have fallen asleep when Boone hit the walk-off homer off Wakefield. And then the next season was when I really became a die hard Sox fan. When Damon lit it up in game 7. And to see them sweep St. Louis. I also have a personal blog:
