Don's Blogs:   Minnesota Twins,   Cincinnati Reds,   MLB Playoffs 2010

Don grew up on the West Side of Cincinnati during the days of the Big Red Machine. He is a purist and student of the game, which of course means that he holds the designated hitter (as well as the wave) in great disdain. He lives in western Wisconsin; married with two sons (and a son-in-law), two daughters (and a daughter-in-law) and granddaughter Madison. Don loves his fantasy keeper league and writes for his blog, Roto-Addicts, in addition to covering the Reds and Minnesota Twins for GUFS.
