About

Matt Musico is an MLB writer who has covered baseball for over a decade. He's followed the sport his entire life and played throughout his school years, even receiving an invite to participate in an independent league tryout. He's put countless words on the page about the New York Mets and home runs in general, which he's parlayed into his own website, MLB Daily Dingers, that covers the history of home runs, both past and present. Throughout his writing career, Matt has contributed to Bleacher Report, Yahoo Sports, numberFire.com, and a number of other online publications. A member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA), Matt lives, eats, and breathes baseball, even receiving bachelor's and master's degrees in Sport Management. When he's not watching games, he's poring through MLB newsletters, digging deep into the sport's bottomless historical archives, and hoping the Mets finally end a title drought that stretches back to 1986.
