This topic isn't my own.  The other night on the radio I heard a guy pose a question to the listeners.  The question went like this:  What's your favorite sport (to watch), and what caused you to like that sport so much?

I thought that was good "food for thought", and I decided to write a weblog article about that.

For me, my favorite sport is baseball.  I think that I can trace my love of baseball back to the Saturday afternoon games on NBC when I was a kid.  I loved listening to Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola's call of the (mainly Dodger) games.  Even though I am a big fan of the Twins now, my first favorite team was the Dodgers.

Every Saturday I hoped that I would have a chance to see either Fernando Valenzuela or Orel Herscheiser pitch.  (I also was excited to see Rick Sutcliffe (Cubs) or Ron Darling (Mets) start games too.)  I was always entertained by the play-by-play and color commentary offered by those two wonderful announcers.

I don't think that weekend baseball has the appeal now that it once used to, but I am happy that I was introduced to baseball when I was.
