Merritt RohlfingMerritt Rohlfing

Merritt is a never-say-die Indians fan who's only ever been to Cleveland twice, one of them was game 5 of the 2007 ALCS, the other the last season of Municipal Stadium. Due to a wonderful indoctrination job by his godfather, few things matter more to Merritt than the Indians. He also writes about the Miami Heat for Fanified.com (yes, he's a Heat fan) and regularly writes and podcasts over at the Rohlfing Report. As a graduate of Knox college and with a resume full of media and journalism gigs, Merritt is totally legitimate and you should listen to every word he has to say as if it's gospel. You can follow him on Twitter @merrittrohlfing. Expect sandwich thoughts.
