It all started with a spark. I was just a young girl when I watched my very first Yankees game—wide-eyed, curious, and completely unaware that I was about to fall in love with something that would shape the rest of my life. The moment Alex Rodriguez stepped onto the field, something clicked. The way he played, his presence, the energy he brought to the game—it drew me in instantly. From that day on, I was hooked. A die-hard Yankee fan, through and through.
But it wasn’t just A-Rod that brought me into the world of pinstripes. It was my late uncle, too. He was the one who truly nurtured that love. We watched every game together, season after season. He’d talk me through every play, every inning, every heartbreak and celebration. I carry those memories with me every single day, and I’ll always continue to honor him through this passion we shared
Now, at 22, I’m proud to say I turned that childhood love into something real: Bronx Bomber Babe—my blog, my passion project, and a space where I get to share my love for the Yankees with fans like me. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from The College of New Jersey, and I knew I didn’t want to wait for a perfect opportunity to chase my dreams—I wanted to build something of my own.
I’ve followed this team day by day, season after season. Wins, losses, heartbreaks, miracles—I’ve lived and breathed it all. And what I’ve come to realize is that Yankees baseball isn’t just a sport. It’s a story. And stories are meant to be told.
Before I started blogging, I spent 12 years on the field myself, playing softball. I was a pitcher, third baseman, and shortstop—with a little time behind the plate as a catcher, too. That time on the diamond shaped so much of who I am. I was lucky to be surrounded by incredible coaches and players who pushed me, taught me, and believed in me. That guidance instilled in me not just a love for the game, but an appreciation for the discipline and creativity behind it.
Today, I freelance in journalism and sports photography. Whether I’m capturing the action through my lens or telling the story through my words, I feel most at home when I’m around the game. Every photo, every article, every interview—it all brings me closer to the dream I hold close to my heart: one day working for the MLB Communications Department. I want to help tell the stories that make baseball what it is—timeless, emotional, and deeply human.
Over time, I’ve developed a handful of Yankees favorites—players who’ve shaped my love for the team in different ways. A-Rod will always be the one who started it all for me. His energy was magnetic. Brett Gardner showed me what grit and loyalty look like. Gleyber Torres has this spark and joy that reminds me why baseball is fun. Anthony Volpe gives me hope for the future—he’s young, hungry, and already making his mark. And then there’s JC Escarra—his story is one I deeply connect with. His path hasn’t been easy, and yet, here he is, proving every day that heart and hard work matter just as much as talent. As a storyteller, I’m drawn to guys like that.
That’s what Bronx Bomber Babe is really about. It’s not just stats and scores (though trust me, I keep track of those too). It’s about the heart of the game. It’s about celebrating the players, the fans, the moments that stick with you long after the final out. I created this blog to be a space where Yankees fans—especially young women like me—can connect, share stories, and feel seen.
I want to make space for people to write, to learn about the Yankees’ past and present, and to grow creatively through sports journalism and fan culture. Whether it’s a spotlight blog, a game recap, or an interview with a player, my goal is to make baseball feel personal again. Because it is. For so many of us.
So, here I am—just a girl from New Jersey, a lifelong Yankees fan with a soft spot for shortstops and walk-off home runs, doing what I love every single day. Writing, cheering, dreaming. And hoping that somewhere out there, another little girl is watching her first Yankees game, eyes wide, heart full—just like I did.
Thankyou for joining me on this journey , lets keep growing and connecting!
LETS GO YANKEES!
