Are you wondering, “Who the heck is the guy behind this thing?” Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore because it’s me, Matt Musico. I’ve loved baseball my whole life, which has included a strong emphasis on the New York Mets (I know, it was a rough childhood most of the time). 

After my playing days were done in 2009, I did a little coaching. Once that was done, I shifted gears toward being a sports writer in 2011, and the rest is history. I’ve covered all aspects of Major League Baseball for more than a decade and have generated more than 3 million page views in the process. Some of my bylines include FanBuzz, Elite Sports NY, FanSided, Sportscasting, Heavy and FanDuel. I’m also a member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA) and a two-time self-published author. One book is home-run focused (with more to come) and the other is about how to launch a sportswriting career. 

Working in sports has always been a goal of mine. I graduated from Sacred Heart University in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management before receiving my master’s degree in Sport Management from American Public University in 2011.

Looking back at meaningful games and moments in baseball history is something I enjoy. Starting MLB Daily Dingers has been incredibly fun. Initially, I had no idea if anyone thought it’d be cool (outside of me, of course). I soon realized that watching past home run clips can evoke incredible nostalgia for some people. That’s probably been the best part of this project, and I’m hoping it continues on the blog. My goal is to start a community of people who love talking and reminiscing about home runs.
