About Me


I'm a baseball writer for MLB.com. This Spring I covered the Pirates, and now I do the visiting teams that come in to pay the Devil Rays...seriously, does life get any better than that?? I'm originally from Michigan (Saginaw what?) and a die-hard Detroit Tigers and MSU basketball fan.
So what do you want to know? Hmmmm let's see... :)
If you saw me on the streets you'd probably holla, I'm not gonna lie. But if you cut the macho act and actually tried to get to know me, you'd find I'm one of the funniest, most caring people you'll ever meet. Give me 10 minutes and you'll be laughing and shaking your head and saying, "That could only happen to Dawn," like everybody else does.
I like to play rough. I will OWN you on the basketball court, or in the batting cage. I know how to (correctly) use all 12 utensils they put on the table when I eat somewhere better than Applebee's. I bleed Green. I once drove 26 hours to watch three innings of a baseball game (Tigers-Twins. I enjoy singing (loudly) in (terrible) Spanish. I look hot in a skirt and even better in a hoodie. My burps will put anyone to shame. I like to play barefoot in the summer rain. I have a Facebook group dedicated to my breasts.
I routinely make bad decisions and enjoy them. My eyes are two different colors. I think thunderstorms are about the most erotic thing ever. Pixar movies make me cry. I speak in faux French, such as j'love, or j'stressed. I'm the Queen of non-sequitors. I like to take apart cars and get dirty. Brian McKnight's voice makes my panties wet.
I love everyone automatically at first, but I look out for my people...so don't step on any toes. I enjoy inventing new recipes. I start (accidental) fires. I talk to my cat like she's human. I'm eternally happy. I love sports more than anything except God and my family. Bad grammar makes my eyes bleed. I've been stung by a bee...on my breast. I have a tongue ring and know how to use it to my advantage.
I don't bring the drama and hate if it shows up. I'm a freak. I read more books than anyone on the planet. I used to draw stick people without bodies, and arms and legs coming out of their heads. I say things like "itty bitty." I have A.D.D. and think it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I know God has a wonderful sense of humor.
Given the opportunity, I would kick Joel Zumaya's ass at Guitar Hero. I can name every Tiger on the 1984 roster. Bob Probert was the only reason I ever watched hockey. I have a brother, 2 sisters and a wife, but I am straight and an only child. I wish my wisdom teeth would grow back because I had so much fun during the first surgery.
Homeless people make me cry. I hold the world record for fastest text messaging. I name my pets after famous baseball players (Kaline, Cobb, Darrell) and good alcohol (Jack, Patron, Johnny Walker). When I'm bored, I read the encyclopedia. I was, at one time, a jazz and classical concert pianist. I still think farts are funny. I'm focused, driven and completely irrational. I hate feet.
What else could you possibly want to know?

My Interests

Baseball runs my shit. I spend about 16 hours a day watching it, talking it, writing it, and working with those who play it, so if you can't hit the ball out, you probably shouldn't even step up to the plate.

I'd like to meet:

Those who don't like baseball need not apply. I like to get dirty and have fun, so anyone that is spontaneous and crazy, or likes to play in the mud is fine by me. Bonus points if you like tricked-out trucks and muscle cars, or are black with blue or green eyes, lol.

Music:

There's gold in the hills of California.
But, my son, there's God in the alleys of Detroit.

Movies:

Anything with baseball in it (For Love of the Game, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, 61*, Major League, Eight Men Out, Tiger Town, etc.) or sexy cars (Gone in 60 Seconds, xXx, Fast and the Furious) I also enjoy pointless funny movies (Anchorman, Office Space, Friday, Zoolander, Wedding Crashers) and action flicks (Boondock Saints, Scarface, Casino). Shawshank Redemption is a the top of my,

Television:

CSI: Las Vegas, Sopranos, Weeds, The Wire, Boondocks, Pink Slips, baseball Tonight, SportsCenter. I'm also just getting over my HGTV addiction, not because I didn't like it, but because I ran out of rooms in the house to decorate! :)

Books:

As I said before, I read everything. At the top of my list is Les Miserables, with The Count of Monte Cristo coming in a close second. I also enjoy anything by Hunter S. Thompson with an emphasis on The Rum Diary. Jimmy Buffet writes some surprisingly good stuff as well (A Salty Piece of Land). Freakonomics was amazing, and I like stuff like John Patterson or Stephen King when I don't want to have to think too hard about anything.

Heroes:

My mom and dad.
