Pro Baseball Detroit
Pro Baseball Detroit is a blog that was created by Detroit Tigers play-by-play man, Mario Impemba. In April of 2018, A.J. began to contribute to the blog, focusing on the history of the Detroit Tigers. 

There is no greater marriage than when passions meet, and thus is the case with Pro Baseball Detroit. A.J.'s penchant for history and belief that baseball is the greatest game in the world makes his contributions to Pro Baseball Detroit an awesome project for A.J. to work on. 

Some of his works to this point include The 1968 Tigers -- Healing a Broken City and Homers Against Hitler; Hank Greenberg's Triumph.

Society for American Baseball Research
A.J. has always loved the game of baseball. In 2015, he joined the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and wrote for their Games Project​.

The article that he contributed for the SABR Games Project was on one of his favorite baseball players of all-time, Derek Jeter. He was privileged to write Jeter's final game in Yankee Stadium -- a monumental game for one of the more iconic players of A.J.'s generation. 

The script for Jeter's game could not have been written any better, and A.J. considers himself lucky to have had the opportunity to capture it for SABR
