I'm a fan, although not as much as I once was probably. Was born and
raised in New England, so am a lifelong Red Sox fan. I also follow (and
attend some games) here where I live now (Pensacola, FL) our AA-Level
team, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (affiliated with the MLB Miami Marlins).
... I was wondering why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
