As much as I enjoy football (both college and pro), I tend to identify my fandom in terms of baseball.
The baseball season is only a week old--about 4% of the way through--and I am a happy fan.
The Mariners are in first place. After seven games, that's roughly the equivalent of your football team having the lead ten minutes into the second half of the first game of the season. It means damn little right now, but for a team that was expected to do absolutely nothing, damn little is better than expected.
Tuesday is the M's home-opener, and the home-field return of Ken Griffey, Jr. The man was traded ten years ago, and I am sure his first at-bat will elicit an incredibly joyful response. I have my tivo set to record, since I will be in class, at the time, but I wish I could be there.
A friend of mine who works at local sports radio station asked if I would be interested in stopping by the studio on occasion to talk baseball. He said that I tend to know more about what's going on in baseball, Mariners in particular, than people who get paid to know such things.
Of course, I agreed. I have no idea how well I will perform in a public forum, however small said forum may be. Whenever this comes about, I will let people know.
