Credit: SBS/Netflix 럭비는 한국에서 100년 넘게 이어져 왔으며, 대한럭비협회(KRU)는 2024년에 럭비 도입 100주년을 기념했다. 그러나 긴 역사에도 불구하고 대중적 인기는 크게 확산되지 못했다. 다만 소규모지만 열정적인 팬층과 선수들이 럭비 정신을 지켜왔다. 최근 대한럭비협회는 국내에서 럭비의 인지도를 높이기 위해 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 소셜 미디어에서의 적극적인 활동, 그리고 대중문화와의 접점을 넓히는 시도도 그 일환이다. 그중 가장 …
Maples Szn Has Started
Alright, after waiting 84 years for Dillon Maples's spring training debut, he finally pitched against the Texas Rangers today. For those who are new to me/my fandom, I am a Maples stan.

Brock Peterson’s Journey From T-Ball to Triple-A
This is the first professional piece I wrote for publication while I was an intern with the Rochester Red Wings during the 2011 season.
