Mike Cattaruzza

Hello my name is Mike Cattaruzza and I am from North Branford, Connecticut.  It is a small town on the shoreline in Connecticut about 20-25 minutes outside of New Haven.  I graduated from North Branford High School and I am now a Freshman here at Nichols College.  Here at Nichols I am a Sport Management major with the future goal of working for the New York Yankees.  Throughout my life, I have been around sports.  From the age of four, I was playing baseball and from the age of five I was playing basketball.  After my Senior year of high school, I gave up basketball and plan to play baseball here at school.
In high school, my Senior season for basketball was very hard to go through.  Our coach got fired a week before the season and we ended up going 2-18.  I believe that if we didn't have to go through such a sudden coaching change and change of play style then we would have been able to at least make the state tournament.  Baseball on the other hand was a very good time.  We went 16-4 in the regular season to earn the number one seed in the league tournament and the number three seed in the state tournament.  We ended up getting beat in the league championship which was a low point in the season.  One of my favorite moments of the season came in the first round of the state tournament where I got the game winning hit in the bottom of the sixth inning to put us ahead for good at 2-1.  Unfortunately, two games later we were eliminated in the quarterfinals 3-1.
I am a huge New York Yankees, New York Giants, and New York Knicks fan.  I try to get down to as many games as I can each year but sometimes it can be tough with my busy sports schedule.  I now cannot wait for the next two weeks to go by and for the Giants to take on the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.  It should be a very good game.
In this course, I hope to gain a better knowledge of computers and the different software that can be used on them.  This will really help me out in the long run when I finally go into my career.
Since I am a huge New York Giants fan, the blog I chose is about the Giants.  Obviously at this point in the season, the blog is starting to blow up with Super Bowl talk.  The blog talks about the previous games and about the key players on the team.  The blog is called Ultimate NYG-A New York Giants Blog.
