Yeah, it doesn't make sense, my fave sport is so.....ftball lol
Kidding, yes, i'm a huge soccer fan, but i really like american sports specially NFL(i'm a Ravens fan), and in a lower scale MLB.
I started to watch the MLB on the 2001 WS between DiamondBacks and Yankees; believe, at that time i was rooting for YK lol bc was the only team i knew.
Then on 2004 watching the Post-Season that year, and hearing all that stories about how the RedSoxs was 85 years w/o winning a championship, the Bambino Curse, that amazing comeback against Yankees, the bloody Sox lol
Well, all this things made me sympathize with the team, and now i root for them. But i don't watch all games, know all stats and so, i'm more likely a casual fan.
Most of my friends thinks baseball too boring lol but i really like the game, the moments of tension and so... and yesterday, wooow, that last inn was amazing. Now just 1 game for WS =)
