Mariano Rivera's composure, Chase Utley's hustle, Landon Donovan's finesse, Allen Iverson's heart, Zach Parise's agility, Cliff Lee's mastery, Derek Jeter's leadership, Shawn Johnson's precision, J.A. Happ's resilience, Peyton Manning's humility, DeMarcus Ware's ferocity, Babe Ruth's legacy... this is why I love sports.

I'm a fan of most sports. I can appreciate all sports. But when it comes down to it, I'm a baseball purist at heart. I was raised on baseball and softball fields and love the game itself more than any one team. I'm from the 'burbs of Philly, live in New York City and can tell you right now that my sports allegiances won't make sense to you. I'm okay with that. Read, enjoy, don't enjoy, comment, don't comment... it's all good times.
