After six years of tertiary education and numerous part-time positions within sport and recreation, Daniel secured an ideal full time role within local government in November 2010.

Away from work, Daniel has 18 years of cricket experience under his belt and has coached and served on committees at numerous clubs. He also plays baseball in winter and is again a member of the club committee.

Sport and recreation is an obvious interest for Daniel and his articles reflect that, especially his knowledge of cricket and football.

The owner, manager and editor in chief of Pen & Paper Sports, Daniel hopes to see the site grow from strength to strength in the future.

The New York Yankees have suffered a double-blow today (AEST), afterboth losing to the lowly Seattle Mariners as well as losing star slugger, Alex Rodriguez for at least a month due to a broken hand.

Rodriguez suffered the blow when he was hit by an 88 mph changeup from Felix Hernandez in the eighth inning.

Although the Yankees have yet to announce how long A-Rod will be out of action for, it is safe to say we won't see him until last-August or early-September.

Teammates Ichiro Suzuki and Derek Jeter were also hit with pitches.

Do you see this blow hurting the Yankees chances of reaching the playoffs?
