Big baseball fan here and particularly Red Sox, but honestly, all pro sports is lost on me now. I don't seek it out at all.

I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan, and have seen them play in the old Tiger stadium many, many times and Comerica Park once.

This is my 2nd time living in the Houston Metropolitan Area and my 10th year overall. I've been rooting for Houston since soon after arriving the first time..

I'm pretty excited as Detroit is coming to Houston this spring before it gets stupid hot, and I bought some nice seats. Yes, I know Minute Maid has a retractable dome, but I've been there in July for an afternoon game when the people who decide open/closed bastards had the dome open, and I spent $40 on water.

Growing up in the mid-west I was diehard Cardinals fan.
Listened to every game on a transistor radio even sneaking it in at school for day games.
Somewhere around the BB strike in the nineties made me lose interest.
I don't dislike it but not consumed with it like I am with Golf.
Money and Politics ruin everything.

Spent a many of a night with a transistor radio under my pillow listening to night baseball games when I was supposed to be asleep.
