As a kid, I played softball for quite a few years but once I got into high school I dropped sports all together. It wasn't until much later that I got into professional sports. In 2000, I started watching the Patriots so that I could talk to more men. I had no idea how to play the game or who the players were or what the penalties were but I figure you have to start somewhere. Then, in 2004, if I wanted to be able to talk to anyone at the office, I had to know about the Red Sox. So that was the first year I started watching baseball. And it was the first time the team won the World Series in 86 years!! You're Welcome!! Since then, I've changed offices but I haven't changed teams... over the years, I fell in love with baseball (and sports) all over again.
