1978, I was moved to nights, and the Orioles happened to be on the West Coast and I picked them up on the ole AM band and I was hooked.
I grew up a Senators fan and was avoided baseball after my team left DC.
So why was I a Senators fan? For some reason, my dad wasn't from here, become a Senators fan, and thats what I became. our neighborhood was probably 30-70 split, senators vs Orioles, and at the time, probably 70-30 split, Redskins vs Colts.
