Joe Walsh
My plan was to retire off my baseball card collection by my early 30s. Hundreds of Kevin Maas, Phil Plantier and Brien Taylor rookie cards later, I did the next best thing. I joined the World Wide Leader. Just as my Twitter bio (@JoeWalshESPN) says, I manage the ESPN Fan Central team (@ESPN_FanCentral) most of the time, and am a Red Sox, Raiders and Celtics fan all of the time. When I’m not delivering fan service or debating why Alan Trammell, Jack Morris and Tim Raines should be in the Hall of Fame (trust me, they should), I can be found watching a game, at the ESPN gym or back in Colorado hiking with my dog.
