I joined Fansided in November of 2011 as a staff writer and then editor of Tomahawk Take. After getting into college at UNC at had to take a break from Fansided because of time but I am excited to be apart of it all again, with ATL All Day. I don't ever write with sarcasm because that would be ridiculous. I am a big Frank Wren fan and now that Martin Prado is gone I can admit he was indeed my favorite. I am currently attending the great University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, studying Journalism and writing about all kinds of light blue sports teams including and especially @DiamondHeels baseball. If you want to contact me you can follow me on twitter @CarlosCollazo__
