I’ve never been much in to sports myself. My father had his favorites but he was never a real fan. I didn’t have lots of friends in the beginning that were big sports fans either. Then again, I also grew up a bit in Ohio where there really weren’t any teams to be proud of. I eventually found my calling with European Football and a lovely little team called Blackpool F.C.
Unfortunately that is a story for another day. I’m writing this post because I wanted to point out another story, from a friend, that shows what its like to find your team when you are young and the joys of learning and loving that team. More than anything it reminded me of a few Cincinnati Reds games that I was dragged too where my father tried to show that he enjoyed sports.

There’s no grand major prize, its a video game, a baseball video game at that. Still, it’s a great story which needs some voting love!
