My last name is not the same as the guy from The Sopranos. But I do love trains. Also, I'm a staff writer at Sports Illustrated. www.emmabaccellieri.com
A great dumb yearly goal is visiting every Edgar Allan Poe house museum. (Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, NYC.) It’s fun and then you get to brag about doing something that no one in any room you walk into has done, unless you ever walk into a room of Edgar Allan Poe scholars

Checking in as yet another person who became obsessed with Lonesome Dove after thinking no way I would ever care that much about a 900-page cowboy novel 🫡 Sucker! I was so wrong!!! This was perhaps the most enjoyable reading experience of my adult life and I am so grateful I finally picked it up
Lonesome Dove and a Dr Pepper
two great tastes that taste great together

Just got out of the new Knives Out and proud to say I immediately clocked the MLB footage as from either 2025 or late 2024 because you could see the Motorola patch on a Cubs jersey

For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com

Especially cool to see this for players like Meggie Meidlinger, who has been grinding and playing for *so long* for a chance like this
