My favorite sport is baseball. Baseball been very, very good to me! It's the one sport I play(ed) half decently and I love attending major and minor league games. Here in Philly, we have our perennial heartbreakers, the Philadelphia Phillies and across the river, in a very beautiful park beneath the Bejamin Franklin Bridge in Camden, NJ, we have the Riversharks.
I like watching football, too, but mostly only up through the playoffs. Once the regular games are over, NFL Football begins taking itself too seriously. This season has been an exception for me, though, with the Philadelphia Eagles playing better than ever and almost in sight of the Super Bowl. But this city has been down this path for four years now, each time ending in bitter disappointment. But once again, our hearts are hoping...
