My family has been big on baseball for years, although I didn't even care till 2003/2004. My father and grandfather would watch every game, and my dad would usually call him after every game. When my grandfather passed away, somehow it worked out that I began to fill the void for my dad. I actually started becoming a huuuge sports fan after living with three gay guys in 2007, and after watching them dress up like women, watch Project Runway, and... well, no one here wants to hear the rest of those details, but the point is I needed an outlet to express some kind of masculinity.
