After graduating from Purdue, O'Donnell entered the publishing industry and now works as a copy editor for a nonprofit. When not watching, reading about, or writing about baseball, he's most likely over-analyzing music or current TV shows. He has a soft spot in his heart for both the beaches of Alabama and the mountains of Colorado. You may not know it to look at him, but he can run really, really fast.
