Interestingly enough I was never a baseball fan as a child, even though i played from the time I was very young and had a father who loved the Phillies.
It wasn't until the world brought me to the biggest Mets fan alive that my palate for the sport grew.
It used to be that whenever i was dragged, very much unwillingly, into Veterans Stadium it would be a battle to keep myself occupied.
I tried lots of things like running up and down the steps, dangerous if you were ever at the Vet, doing laps around the stadium and of course checking in every so often with Dad..."Can we leave now? Nobody has scored!"
Ever since this Mets fan infiltrated my life...I see baseball as something else.
Now, I go into Citizens Bank Park excited and eager to see the Phils dominate the opposing team.
I do laps around the stadium, but often unwillingly and only if absolutely necessary.
And best of all I get to watch and enjoy a sport that is so much a part of his life.
Baseball is quickly becoming my second favorite sport to watch, second only to college basketball which is hands down the best thing to be a part of.
Tonight as I watch the Phils battle the Mets in the bottom of the 10th inning tied 2-2, I feel excited and proud to be a Philadelphia Phillies fan.

Take your post and substitute baseball with ice hockey, the mets with the red wings, and phillies with the flyers and I agree 100%.
