Hey folks, I am new here. I previously posted on Redsoxnation.net , but only for a little while. Hope to join you guys for the ride!!! SOX IN 5!!!!!
I know it isn't huge, but I wanted to write this down. I am 17 years old, a Senior in HS. I have always been a huge sports fan, hit off of a pitch from the mound at age 2. I always loved baseball and always will. When I was growing up, in my far younger days in Alabama, I used to watch the Cubs play during the daytime. I never really got attached to them, I more or less liked them for Harry Caray. I enjoyed them through the years, although no one in my family were Cubs fans. My dad is a Red Sox fanatic. His father was a Navy brat and he grew up in Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire. He always used to talk about 86' and Buckner. He even owned a baseball card shop in Alabama and called in Fenway Cards.
In 2004 I was able to experience his excitement when the Sox won it all. Over time, I guess I grew out of being a Cubs "fan". This summer, I went to my first Sox game, albeit in Baltimore, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Now, having been to a game and followed the team more closely than ever, I can truly say I am a die hard Sox fan. The feeling I got watching them win, and every single time we scored(score) a run made me feel amazing.
I just wanted to let you guys know this. Useless, but I would hate to be called a bandwagon fan. I may not have been born in Boston, and may not have been raised up North. Nonetheless, I know where I come from now......
GO SOX!!!!
