Nick grew up as a White Sox fan in exile, raised by a die hard South Sider in Connecticut. Being a White Sox fan in that time and place gave Nick a huge chip on his shoulder about underappreciated players (particularly Frank Thomas) and teams. Nick is entering his last year of law school in Manhattan, and occasionally performs stand up comedy when he's not working or following baseball. You can follow Nick on Twitter at @n_schaef
