I wanted to be the first female general manager in the Majors, but a degree in Athletic Administration and an internship with the Elias Sports Bureau didn’t bear fruit. So, I toil by day as a data analyst for the City of New York, crunching large data sets and using SPSS and Excel. I was the first “fan” to start a blog over at MLB.COM in 2005, and my “Diamonds are for Humor” was voted “Best Comedic Blog” that year. More recently, I contributed quirky stories and analysis to the “Humbug Journal” blog at Baseball Toaster, had an essay included in the “Lasting Yankee Stadium Memories” anthology, and offered game recaps and offbeat statistical analysis at the “Bronx Banter” site.

Hi there,
My name is Chris Rukan. I work in the sports department at the Washington Post and help contribute to our Baseball Insider blog.
Your Scrabble All-Star team was really fun, and I’d like to do a post on it, if it’s cool with you. Obviously we’d credit you and provide a prominent link to your blog.
I’m also interested in possibly including an edited version — possibly starting lineup and starting pitcher — in our dead tree edition, on our weekly Sunday baseball page. Still trying to figure out space issues there, but if you’re ok with that again we’d give credit and include the URL of your blog.
Thanks for your time!
Chris

P.S. Sorry for the random comment. Poked around looking for an e-mail address and couldn’t find one.
