baseball fan

这个假期，只有偶尔的棒球新闻给我一些安慰。

I live in Chicago. I'm not a Cubs fan. I'm not a White Sox fan. I moved here from Boston. I ran through the streets of Red Sox Nation when they clinched the AL from the Yankees in '04. I'm not a Red Sox fan. I grew up in Detroit. I've watched the Tigers come back from many decades of disappointment. I'm not a Tigers fan. My grandpa played baseball all of his life. He lives in Minnesota and still waves his "Homer Hanky." I'm not a Twins fan.

I'm a baseball fan.

October is my favorite month every year. This is when I see hearts broken and dreams come true. Being a fan of no team in particular allows me to see the game for what it is. It's incredible.

I wish more people would view it that way. It doesn't matter where you grew up, where you live or who your team is, if you love the game, you respect its consequences and you welcome its promises. If your team becomes a religion, you miss the point.

Love the game and it will love you back.
