Al has been an Indians fan since birth, and has followed prospects since his dad took him to see Jim Thome and Reggie Jefferson play for the Canton-Akron Indians. He grew up in Aurora Ohio, and walked on the football and baseball team at Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA where he was one of the top Division II scout team tight ends in the country and a solid bullpen catcher with an advanced approach. Al currently makes his home in Fairfax, VA where he gets to see the Aeros and K-Tribe several times a year. In addition to loving the Indians, he is a die-hard Browns, Buckeyes and Cavs fan, and makes several trips home to Ohio to tailgate and drink Christmas Ale.
