Adam Hopps is a long-suffering San Diego Padres fan. Since the Hell’s Bells went silent, he has been striving to be involved in baseball activities other than sighing loudly at The Friars. This has involved making Washington Nationals his second team after watching them regularly in Washington, DC, reading extensively on pre-modern baseball, and absorbing SABR Negro Leagues research whenever possible. As a part-time editor and copyeditor, he has contributed to books on sculpture, solar eclipses, and several literary journals. He currently lives in close proximity to Ted Williams Parkway and the Tony Gwynn Freeway in San Diego County.
