A recent graduate of Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, Max Edelsack holds a degree in sports communication and psychology and was active as a campus sports radio announcer. Max Edelsack has a strong interest in sports media and authored an in-depth paper looking at the inravio.com program Glory Days, a pioneering web-based television show.  As he describes it, the program presented a new concept of what sports coverage could be, with “the fan as both consumer and content provider.” This reflects the show’s roots as a two-hour Sunday program two lifelong sports fans decided to broadcast each week. It evolved gradually from “two guys chatting” to a one-hour show that packs in horse racing tips, fantasy football results, musical features, and film reviews.  In addition, Glory Days ultimately moved toward inviting guests, the first one being Rocky Klever, a former tight end with the New York Jets. With an increase in audience and visibility, the “Glory Days” team was a...

Max Edelsack’s favorite baseball team is the New York Mets . During last off-season, former catcher Mike Piazza joined Tom Sever as the only two players in history to represent the Mets franchise in Cooperstown. This year the organization will not be included in the 2017 Hall of Fame inductee class. The Mets missed the 2017 Hall of Fame class completely as the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted in only three players: Ivan Rodriguez, Tim Raines, and Jeff Bagwell. Among Mets players considered for induction but not earning enough votes were Billy Wagner (10.2 percent), Gary Sheffield (13.3 percent), and Jeff Kent (16.7 percent). Melvin Mora and Mike Cameron were also considered but received no votes. Billy Wagner is a favorite among the Writers’ Associ...
