I believe the saying goes, "It was love at first sight." I guess for me it's, "It was love at first pitch."
A die-hard, Boston-brewed fan and player of baseball, it was my first love since I can remember, having my granddad throwing me a Whiffle ball as I stood in my front yard, wielding my mighty and slender yellow Whiffle ball bat. Braving through the frigid winters and the slushy falls and springs did not deter me from playing and watching the game I still love today.
Along the way, I have come to also be a loyal Patriots fan. There's so much fun to be watched when all the teams are at least an annual playoff representative.
