Ben Chatterton

Ben Chatterton is not actually a hardcore sports guy. He doesn't know any stats, and doesn't watch the draft. He was forced by playground thugs to choose between the A's and the Giants (A's) in one place, and Tarheels, Devils, and Wolfpack (Devils) in another. What he does know is people, and is absolutely galvanized by sports fandom as an important facet of society. He thinks politics is interesting, too, and it can learn a lot from sports. In sports, if you suck, you get traded. Imagine if we could trade underperforming congressmen with, say, Bulgaria. Just think about it.

(Ben is a Phoenix resident, and as such is a fan of the Suns and the Cardinals. No one can take his A's from him, though.)
