Now I know I have quite a few Texas readers/subscribers, but I'm not sure of how many other states and countries are represented. Also, I am not sure of how highly you may view your area sports teams... but at our house, we BLEED Jesus and the Texas Rangers!
Since Nate and I are both native Texans and lived in North Texas (me)/East Texas (him) for the majority of our lives, we have been bred into the Texas Rangers fandom. We both remember attending games as children and that devotion hasn't withered into our adult-age.
If the game is on TV, we are either watching it live or recording it to
watch later. I am not a big "sports aficionado", but Nate has been an
excellent instructor, teaching me the ins and outs of the game. I have
always known the gist, but to know plays and positions... I feel pretty
professional!
My parents live about 10 minutes away from the Ballpark in Arlington (it is now called "Globelife Park", but throwback Rangers fans will ALWAYS know it as the Ballpark), so any time we go to visit my family and the Rangers are in town, we make a point to attend the game. So much fun! Baseball really is America's Pastime and I love the history, class, and nostalgia that goes along with a good ol' baseball game. Plus the food... you MUST indulge in ballpark food when attending a game! My go-to's are always a bag of cotton candy and some garlic Parmesan fries. Delish!
So what about you? Are you as devoted to your hometown team as we are? Where do you live, and what team(s) do you support? We also BIG HEART the Dallas Cowboys (football), and of course we support the Dallas Mavericks (basketball) and Dallas Stars (hockey), but we don't avidly watch those two sports as much as we watch baseball and football. Oh, to be Texan :)
i never want to watch sports on tv but I do like going to sport events. we've been to a few cubs games and it's so fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes yes!! Go Rangers. You already know that we are huge fans as well. And it will always be the Ballpark to us. I can’t call it Globelife…I just can’t. What do you think about Josh Hamilton being back?
