I was a fan by default in my little league years, but I wasn't really into baseball then. In middle school I couldn't give a damn. Then in 10th grade, 2004, I fell hard for a Yankees fan. Naturally I started getting interested. Got swept up in the excitement of the 2004 playoffs (I still hated the Yankees, of course) and then 2005 happened and I jumped on the bandwagon. That was a painful season to jump on but I couldn't quit.
