My first trip to Anaheim Stadium came when I was 6 years old. It was an afternoon game where the Angels hosted the Texas Rangers. Nolan Ryan was pitching. My dad thought it would be fun since his last name is the same as my first. It was corny, but hey that’s my dad for you. Little did he know the impact he made taking me to that game. He introduced me to my favorite sport, my favorite baseball team and what would eventually become my career. See, I knew I was never going to play professional sports, but I wanted to be as close to the game as possible. Fast forward decades later here I am, angelswin.com’s newest writer with an opportunity to cover Major League Baseball on a daily basis. My career has taken me all over, first getting my bachelor’s degree in journalism from Sacramento State and stops soon after in Ridgecrest, California, Ellensburg, Washington and Helena, Montana covering all sorts of high school, college, minor and major league sports. My first opportunity to cover Major League Baseball came in 2018 reporting on the Seattle Mariners. It was brief but I was in heaven. Let me cover a baseball game over a Super Bowl any day. Most would say no, but not me. Now back in Southern California and running my own high school sports website, socoprepsports.com, I have an opportunity to write about baseball again. Thank you Chuck Richter for this opportunity. I take this profession very seriously, and my principles are simple and old-fashioned. Good journalism is good business. I will make it a point to create content that will encompass game coverage, analyses, the hot stove, features and even some opinion. My fandom will not get in the way and will compose each piece in a professional, accurate manner. I look forward to interacting with all of you on the message boards and hope my articles will shine brightly under the halo. Follow me on Twitter at @rskuhn
