Neil Becker

For my entire life I've been a die-hard Toronto Blue Jays fan. My favorite player was former Blue Jays fist baseman John Olerud and my current favorite is Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk. I was born and grew up in Toronto. Following high school I earned a B.A. in Communications from University of Windsor followed by a two year Print Journalism degree from Humber College. Besides baseball I also love hockey and UFC. My favorite hockey teams are the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers. I am really hoping to see the Leafs win a Stanley Cup in my lifetime. Another big interest of mine is taking care of my two-year old dog Buddy. I love to take him to the park where he enjoys chasing sticks and running after tennis balls. He is without question my best friend. My ideal evening would be either watching a hockey or baseball game on television followed afterwards by a comedy movie.
