I never had much of a choice in my sports team rooting interests; photos exist of me at Bank One Ballpark as a 4 week old infant in a D-Backs onesie, so I guess that makes me as close to a fan since birth as you can get. My parents surrounded me with all things Arizona sports, all the time, so I naturally learned to love our hometown teams. I also learned to hate certain teams, specifically the Yankees. I can recall being an 8 year old and wondering what I would do if the Yankees drafted me (making it to the majors was a forgone conclusion at the time).
