Rays of Hope: Will a Name Change Really Help Tampa Bay?
March 12, 2008

964 reads

I am a University of Florida alumni, and I am proud to say I was privileged enough to be attending the school when we won two basketball championships and two football championships. Go Gators! I am a south Florida girl, and my favorite professional teams are the Florida Marlins and the Miami Dolphins. Even though I am mainly a fan of the previously mentioned teams, I am always interested in what other Florida teams are doing. My favorite sport is baseball. There's nothing better than going to baseball games during the summer. I'm also a sucker for a great sports rivalry.

All-Time Sports Moment

For me, the 1997 and 2003 Marlins' World Series wins and the three championships the Gators won in 2006 and 2007 (and the crazy celebrations afterward).
Most Memorable Game Attended

Probably when I went to see the Marlins play the Braves and paid for three tickets using mostly pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. The game went for 14 or 15 innings. We had no money and my brother and his friend were asking fans for their leftover food. The Marlins ended up winning, so it was all worth it. Definitely memorable, for really strange reasons, but memorable nonetheless. Oh, and also, when the Gators beat the Seminoles in 2007. It was my first UF/FSU football game and it rocked.

Thanks for the edits. I changed a couple paragraphs back, but left most of them the same way. :)

I'm glad you're able to do something you have pride in. Be sure and stick with this. I work in Media Sales, but part of me wishes I had stuck with Sports Journalism!
