In this series, my goal is to tell the interesting stories of Ravens fans. Maybe you were born and raised in Maryland and have been a lifelong fan. Perhaps you moved to the Maryland and became a fan. Perhaps you followed a player for the college game to the Ravens. Perhaps you came to be a Ravens fan in a completely different way. Do you have unique Ravens game-day traditions that you would like to share?
For this first edition, I will share my unique story of how I became a Ravens fan. I grew up in the state of Iowa until age 12.
