I wonder....
Who the very first person was who thought “I'm going to cut out a big “D” and a picket fence and spell defense at the next game.
Who decided “You know what? I've been sitting for a while , I'm going to get up and stretch after the top of the seventh inning” and how it caught on.
How “Boo” became a negative term to shout at opposing teams. Were the first people to shout “Boo” at their opponents trying to scare them?
Who made up chanting “let's go _____ clap, clap, clapclap clap” and had the guts to shout it out loud hoping somebody would join in. And would it have caught on as well if it were clap, clapidy clap clap instead?
Who the first fan was that just couldn't contain themselves after a huge win and decided to rush the field. Did they act alone, or did they talk a few friends into doing it too, just in case it didn't go so well?
Who was that man, I'd like to shake his hand 'cause he made me fall in love with sports.

Hall of Fame...
To earn a spot in Kristen's Hall of Fame is an honor that many athletes aspire to, yet few earn. This Hall of Fame is exclusive and reserved for only the Best of the best.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the first inductee....
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is inducted as the Best Receiver in the NFL.
I have just one word to describe Larry Fitzgerald, Magical. He can catch anything thrown within a mile. And can run once he has the ball and doesn't go down easy. I LOVE the Cardinals, but I don't think they would have made it to the Super Bowl without him.
Background:
Larry played his college ball at a school that was not ASU. OK, for those of you who care about schools other than ASU, he played at the University of Pittsburgh. Larry was the 3rd pick of the first round of the 2004 NFL draft.
Stats:
In 2008 Larry had 96 receptions, 1431 yards, and 12 touchdowns.
Bragging Rights:
Larry Fitzgerald set the single post season record with 546 receiving yards, 30 receptions, and 7 touchdown receptions. In 2009, Larry won the ESPY for “Best NFL Player”.
First-team All-America 2003
Fred Biletnikoff Award '03
Paul Warfield Trophy '03
Walter Camp Award '03
3 time Pro Bowl selection '05, '07, and '08
First-team All-Pro selection '08
Pro Bowl MVP '08
NFC Championship 2008 NFL season
and of course Kristen's Hall of Fame 2009.
Congratulations Larry!
