Background

I was the girl that said, “Oh I don't like sports”. I didn't grow up watching sports, didn't play sports in school, never really gave it two thoughts. Then I fell in love. I fell in love with a die hard sports fan, who came from a sports background whose siblings all played sports. Tim will watch any sport, it doesn't matter which, he'll watch it, but he certainly has his favorites. Tim is a hard core, tried and true, foul-weather Chicago Cubs fan. The Cubs can bring him so much joy, but with that comes heartache. I wanted to see what this was all about. It took a few years, but I decided to learn about baseball so I could give it a go. As a gift, I received Baseball Field Guide: An in-depth illustrated guide to the complete rules of baseball. As I started to watch Cubs games and learn more about the rules, I got really into, I fell in love again, this time with the Chicago Cubs.
My journey doesn't stop here. As I often tell Tim, he created a monster. I hope you join me on my journey as I share my love of sports and my teams. I hope to branch out and learn about more sports, I'm pretty limited now. I also want to learn the sports I love in more depth, know all the rules and be able to talk eloquently about them and argue well.
