I will say WHEN it does happen all this heartache will make it that much more enjoyable.

I have been a sports fan since 1964, when I attended my first sporting event, a baseball game at Shea Stadium between the Mets and Pirates. My dad was from New York and I grew up in Virginia Beach. Anyway to make a long story short(er), My dad was a diehard football and baseball Giants fan. he hated the Knicks but loved the Celtics because of players like Cousy and the coach Auerbach. I idolized my dad so i took his teams as my own as many young children do.

Over the years I began to like Hockey but really didn't get into it until the 90's and have always liked the Red Wings, though i am by no means a diehard hockey fan, mostly just casual.

The Seattle connection? i have lived in the Pacific NW since 1976, 32 years. After awhile the home teams grow on you. So I am a Mariner/Seahawks/Sonics fan. However when the home teams suck (Mariners and Sonics) I tend to lose interest, but I never do with my original three: G-Men/Giants (SF) and Celts!!

Baseball is and will always be my first love in sports. That is why this year is some what painful....but I do have the joy of the G-Men and Celts to help me through this loooong season..oh yeah and OOTP9 which is now less than 2 hours away!!

How about this for my new name: Giants and Celtics Champions fan?? Nice ring you think??
M & G Fan,

I'm 53, moved to the NW since 1988 after living my entire life to that point in Southern California as a Dodgers fan (starting in 1963 at the age of 8 after my Dad took my brother and me to Dodger stadium). Of course, I hated the Giants. 'Twas easy to do after Marichal clubbed Roseboro with the bat (although I admit there was an unequal provocation when Roseboro just missed Marichal's ear with a throw back to the mound).

I moved from the Portland area to the Seattle area in 1995, a great year to become a Mariners fan.

Your signature quotes one of my favorite books!

I assume you are happy that one of the necessary steps to restoring the Mariners fortunes was finally taken on Monday?

It was way past time to get rid of Bavasi, 2 or more years ago!! Now if they can just get the owners to fire Armstrong and Lincoln and get some real leaders at the top!! I think we need a new manager as well. I don't dislike McLaren, just think we need a more seasoned leader like Pinella. I really miss him

Either wait for a post announcing it's been uploaded OR if you can't access the forum that too would be a sign it's been uploaded.

Yes! I have loved it since I was a teenager. Of course, it's surrounded by books that are all as worthy, but it's always had a special place for me. I've taught it before in adult classes.
