Mike Spadaro

My name is Mike Spadaro. I am from Milford, Connecticut. I played both Baseball and Football for Jonathan Law High School. Milford is a decently sized town of 62,000 people. In high school, I participated in many school sponsored events, such as the fashion show and sports. I am an only child and I live with both of my parents. I consider one of my bestfriends, Paige, to be the older sister I never had. I am a huge New York Yankees and New York Giants fan. Milford is only an hour and 20 minutes away from New York City if you travel by train. My dog Piccolina, which translates into "Little girl" in Italian, is my 5th dog I've owned. I come from a huge Italian family. My mom is slovak and I joke with her by saying I'm not her child. I am huge practical joker. My dad and I can joke with each other about anything because that is the relationship we share. We both love to sit and watch football all day every Sunday. My nickname from back home was the "Sparrow". The name was given to me by a fellow teammate who commented on how I looked like the bird, the Sparrow. I've played baseball since I was 5 years old. I had never played football up until I was a sophomore in High school. I was a kicker and a punter. I was given #79. That number stuck with me through my entire football career. I am currently focusing on playing baseball here at Nichols. I am a Criminal Justice Major. I've always had a passion to become a Police Officer or a Firefighter. The emergency response field is the career I would like to delve into. I was one of a few baseball players from my high school to have hit more than 10 homeruns throughout my 4 years at Jonathan Law.

I am interested in the College Baseball Blog. I am a huge College Baseball and College Football fan. I feel that College athletics have more meaning for the athletes. They are playing to become the #1 team and possibly win the National Championship. They aren't playing for money, but for prestige. I like following college sports because one day I will see these future stars playing in the big show.
