About Me

My name is Andrew Vazzano, and I will be a senior at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. I am the sole author of The 'Ropolitans.

About The Blog

I've been a Mets fan my whole life, but didn't start really following until my teenage years. I enjoyed baseball, but definitely couldn't tell you the 25-man roster. My friend still tells the story of how I fell asleep during the 2000 World Series.

During high school, my interest began to grow and I started to watch as many games as possible. From there, I realized how much I enjoyed baseball. As my interest grew, so did my want to express them and share it with the world (hence, this blog).

I started this site in July of 2006 with no intention of it going anywhere. It has since grown into something I did not expect, but I couldn't be happier with where it has gone, the doors it helped open and the people I've met.

About Me

I'm studying journalism at QU, with a minor in sports studies.

I've interned at FOX News in the summer of '08 and am also the Mets content editor for BaseballDigest.com.

My dream is to eventually work for a newspaper or a professional sports team, as I love the sport, love to write and love to connect with fellow fans.

Where are all the 2007 posts?

The ‘Ropolitans used to be hosted by another blogging client.  When I moved to the one I use now, I was in the middle of carrying everything over from 2006 and 2007.

I only got part of the way through before the old site disappeared forever.

What luck.

So 2007’s posts have been lost to the black hole of the Internet, likely never to be heard from again.
