Brett Moore 

Brett Moore found baseball at 7 years old, and he fell head-over-heels in love with the subject. While he never had a talent for playing, his incredible gift for recall allowed him to absorb everything he could read, listen to, or watch about the sport. In his 20s, he acted on stage in small productions in Orange County, wrote about baseball and fantasy baseball for Bleacher Report, and frequently called games for San Diego State University KCR college radio from 2011–2015. In 2015, he and his crew were selected as finalists for the IBS Golden Mic Award for best baseball broadcast (and won for their hockey broadcasting). 

In 2018, Moore’s wonderful wife and fellow baseball fan, Erin, helped him create a new game utilizing his encyclopedic baseball knowledge. He showed it to Greg and Jenn Crafts, who immediately told him the game would be a hit with audiences, and Batter Up! was born. Brought to audiences for the first time in 2019 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the show won immediate praise from audiences and critics alike. The show was nominated for several awards, including Top World Premiere, Top Cabaret and Variety, and Trope Buster awards. The COVID-19 pandemic put a kibosh on taking the show to new audiences, but in 2024 Moore brought his talents back to the stage, taking home the Hollywood Fringe award for Best Cabaret and Variety and the TheTVolution.com award for Best Solo Show (Male). 

Now, Moore is an active blogger, is working on a book about overlooked Hall of Fame cases, and has started a podcast highlighting fans’ unique connections to baseball through their favorite teams and Hall of Famers. His latest passion project is Negro League research, following in the talented and dogged footsteps of hundreds of passionate researchers before him. He’s also a part-time game show contestant, with an appearance on Jeopardy! in 2021 and The 1% Club in 2024 (he’s gunning for Wheel of Fortune next!).
