Having grown up in Austin, Texas, I’ll say that being a sports fan here is pretty odd. In all sports, I just naturally gravitated to whichever team was nearest me – for this reason, I am both a Dallas Stars and a San Antonio Spurs supporter. In this fandom, which also includes an avid love of the Houston Astros, I’ve seen highs and lows. Mostly lows.
Nevertheless, I know what it’s like to be on top. The Spurs have won five National Basketball Association championships since my berth, and the Astros are the most recent World Series winners.
