Dexter Jones's Pittsburgh Penguins Extended Profile
Who am I?
Dexter grew up in New York City and moved to nearby Hillside, NJ during grade school. By the 5th grade, he was already an exceptionally knowledgeable Yankees fan as a result of having an extensive baseball card collection and a near-photographic memory.
Over the years, he extended his knowledge of and allegiance to other New York area sports, specifically Patrick Ewing's Knicks, Lawrence Taylor's Giants, and Mark Messier's Rangers. With the retirement of those iconic players, Dexter has become more of a non-partisan fan of the four major North American leagues.
Since moving to Tampa in 2004, he's become a strong supporter of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Pittsburgh Penguins in recent years. Both of those teams have used the draft to go from worst to first, but neither has won a championship...yet.
