Interview: MLB Fan Cave Hopeful, and Mets Fan, Travis Miller

Mets fan, Travis Miller, was kind enough to talk with us about his bid to join the MLB Fan Cave in 2012. The 26-year-old New York native, who now calls Chicago home, is among 50 finalists vying for a spot in the Fan Cave.

If you have not yet seen Miller's audition, here ya go:

Tell us a little about yourself.

I’ve been covering the Cubs and White Sox as a freelancer for the Associated Press for two years. Before that, I wrote on a freelance basis in upstate New York where I grew up. I covered a variety of high school sports for the Poughkeepsie Journal, where I started as an intern. That led to covering Marist College football and men’s and women’s basketball for the AP.

There was not a direct bridge from New York to Chicago, I actually moved to the midwest without a job and sold shoes for four months before scoring the gig covering Major League Baseball. It was a surreal day when I received that phone call.

What is your favorite memory as a Mets fan?

Three Mets Fans Among The Top 50 Finalists For MLB Fan Cave

MLB recently released the audition tapes for the top 50 finalists for the 2012 MLB Fan Cave. Of those 50 finalists, three have listed the Mets as their favorite team.

After watching all three of the audition tapes, I've decided that only one of them was not completely embarrassing.

First up is Travis Miller of Chicago, IL. Miller's video was the most entertaining of the three.



Next up is Max Nelson from Toms River, NJ.
