Steve Contursi
A fan of the Yankees for more than a half-century, the sport of baseball and writing about it is my passion.
Formerly a staff writer for Empire Writes Back, Call To The Pen, and Yanks Go Yard, this opportunity with Elite Sports NY is what I have been looking for.
I also have my own website titled Reflections On New York Baseball.
My day job is teaching inmates at a New York State prison. Happily married with five grandchildren. Living in Catskill, New York.
