Jay Floyd’s grandfather drove the Phillies’ bus for regional road trips during the 1960’s. Since those days, baseball was in the family and Jay continues on as a coach to teenage players, in Lawrence Township NJ, as a minor league writer and as a weekly radio analyst during the baseball season. This blog, PhoulBallz.com, served as a launching pad for Jay to start writing about the great sport of baseball and the site’s affiliation with the Millennium Radio group’s Shore Sports Network allowed Jay to cover local minor league clubs, like the Lakewood BlueClaws, from the inside.
In the autumn of 2010 Jay began writing in a freelance capacity and joined PhilliesNation.com as a minor league contributor.
During his time covering baseball, Jay has interviewed various players, coaches and team personnel from the minor leagues to the Majors, including All-star Ryan Howard, Brett Myers, Carlos Ruiz, Mark Parent, Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez, Chuck LaMar, Ruben Amaro Jr. and Baseball Hall of Famer Andre Dawson.
