Hello everyone, my name is Matt Paige and this is my blog. Before we get to the fun stuff that I will write about in this blog, I just wanted to introduce myself to you. I am currently a student at Cal State Long Beach in Long Beach, California and I am going into my third year at Long Beach State. I am a History major and I work at Long Beach State’s radio station, 22 West Radio, as a volunteer in the sports radio section of the station. I also co-host their weekly sports radio show, Beachcenter.
Some things that I do outside of school (when I’m not being swamped with assignments and papers from college classes) is I am an assistant coach on a Little League baseball team, I do the field prep at the Little League field (raking, dragging, chalking, etc.), and I am an umpire at the field. As you can tell I am a big baseball guy. I grew up around baseball since I was a baby. My dad coached teams since even before I was born. I played up until I was 13 and then I decided to switch to golf because I thought that it would be easier to hit a ball that was sitting still than a ball that is coming in high and tight (spoiler alert, it is not easier). I played golf in High School (I was a four year varsity letterman, not to brag or anything), and I still love playing golf to this day. Another one of my hobbies is I love going fishing and camping up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, especially in Mammoth Lakes.
That’s enough about me for now. Now I get to talk about what you’re really here for. My blog, The Sports Paige (nice name, right?), will be about whatever I want to talk about. It’s mainly going to be about sports, with some history lessons and current events sprinkled in. I will also write about random, funny things that I see in the news. If you have any stories that I should write about or questions for me you can always leave comments in the comments section or you can email me at thesportspaigeblog@gmail.com. I am very excited to get this blog started, and hopefully have it grow and expand into a podcast or YouTube channel sometime down the road. I can’t wait to start on this journey and I hope you enjoy reading the blog!
