my father is a yankees fan and a ny giants fan. he took me to see the giants play and even got some players to sign a banner when i was really little, like 8 years old. i was hooked from that moment on.
however i became a Mets fan despite being born in the Bronx and my father being one. my earliest memory was watching them play in 84, with Mookie and Wally, Doc, Straw and the rest of the nutcases who tore up New York City. I was actually more fortunate then, when the Yankees were perennial losers and the Mets were somewhat successful for that breif period. they should have won more but the team was too volitile. i was, and still am, a die hard fan. i watched a ton of games. i could still remember hojo hitting a bot of the ninth homer to win sometime in 88. the most amazing game i was lucky enough to attend was robin ventura's 16th inning grand slam to beat the braves in the 1999 NLCS. i was there with my father and we were in total shock. when they lost the next night, i actually shed a tear.
i was once a knicks fan, but after ewing left, i kind of lost interest. ive been following the nets since but i think the knicks are worth watching again since marbury joined.
im also a raiders fan, i started watching them when bo jackson was playing. i went to see them play in oakland last year and hung out with those lunatics in the black hole. it was amazing. im a giants fan first and foremost but the raiders are my AFC team, so long as they arent playing the giants, ill root for them.
i'm a die hard mets fan, no team comes before them in any sport.
