Abbey Mastracco's San Diego Padres Fan Profile

I guess you could say I'm like any athlete, starting at the bottom trying to work my way up to the Big Leagues.

I'm a full-time college student and part-time freelancer. I grew up in sports media, starting work for my dad's golf radio show when I was 15. Last summer I worked for the PGA Tour as a writer for PGATOUR.com. I currently cover the nationally-ranked Long Beach State Dirtbags and other Divison I college baseball teams and contribute to several different golf and college baseball websites.

I grew up in Nor Cal but discovered the beach after high school so I moved down south and never looked back. Although I love my San Diego teams, my loyalties still lie in Sacramento with the Kings, and in the Bay Area with the A's and Giants.
