Nah, Eb... I am a hopeless homer... I remember my dad takin' mw ro old Griffith Stadium to see the Washington Senators as a kid and I was a big Jimmy Piersall fan 'cause he was outrageous... People would bring rubber chickens to the games and sit in the $2 seats in center field and torment poor ol' Jimmy until he'd be tryin' to climb the fence to get to them....
When the Senators were stolen the first time by Minnesota they had Harmon Killebrew who was my idol and I remember crying uncontrolably when I heard that the Senators and Harmon Killibrew where moving outta town... Then we got a second Senators team and it wasn't here but a few years before it got stolen and became the Texas Rangers... By then I was older and I took it alot better...
But, really, I am a homer when it comes to sports teams... I like Maryland, the Bullets, the Mystics, the Nationals, the Redskins, and D.C. United...
I reckon this goes back to my teens when I played everything, including soccer, in organized leagues... Decent wide reciever but a purdy good 3rd baseman and I met a lotta professional D.C. players who back then came some of our games and would talk with us and sign autographs, etc... Nevermind... I'm a hopeless homer...
