NEW CHRON BASEBALL BEAT WRITER Bernardo Fallas introduces himself on the former beat writer’s blog.

As I take on this challenge, I realize I have some pretty big shoes to fill.
Cheerleading is required of sports writers at America’s Worst Big City Daily, and Fallas leaves little doubt that he’ll be up to the task. And the new beat gets rid of that pesky problem of his cheering on the team that employs his sister.
