From birth, it was always about baseball in my house.
My love of the game and the O's grew to obsession because of the 83 post season. Despite being a few months shy of my 6th birthday, I hung on every pitch.
My dad taped every game of the 83 playoffs and I watched them over and over again. I listened to the WFBR highlight tape till I wore it out. The 89 Why Not? video is in my VCR right now.
Words can't express the pride, excitement and emotion as I prepare to attend my first post season game since the 97 ALDS clincher.
