Sam Maxwell
Sam is, first and foremost, a storyteller. An aspiring screenwriter, he has written two full-length feature films. He fell in love with baseball when he was 13 and has not looked back since. He has a fascination with the history of the game, especially the long history of National League Baseball in New York. A very confident gentleman, Sam is, however, uncomfortable writing biographical information about himself and speaking in the third person.
