With so much going on in the world of sports today, it easy to forget why we love it so much and why we will be fans forever.

When we were kids life was simple, we played all day and when our parents called us in for the night a  "five more minutes o.k! We love sport because it reminds us what if means to be alive to care about something with innocence and beauty.

For me my music that I play is like the baseball I used to play on the streets of Chicago, life was perfect I felt good just to be in that moment of perfect harmony. Today so much is made of money made and how many endorsements can I get, just to name a few. With drugs and cheating no longer creeping into our sports its easy to forget that the games are for us the people that grew playing the sport of our choice not because of money but because it was right!

I will never forget when my brothers and I would play baseball we all had our favorite player and while we played our hearts out with our friends we were baseball we were the game. So don't forget the next time you  hear that’s sports are ruined by money and such when it was time to pick up teams, all we did was flip a bat and choose up sides! That’s sports at it finest and most wonderful moment.
