Honestly I'm a baseball fan first, Red Sox fan second. I love the story quality of games, especially dramatic games. And I always followed the Sox as well as opportunity allowed. But I'm good with any team, any day (except for the Yankees of course!)

I learned to love the Sox back in the early 90's when they had some good teams but all we could get out where I grew up is over-air broadcasts, and there was a hill in the way of the tower that carried the Sox games. So I listened to the Sox on the radio, and when I wanted to watch baseball on TV, there was a signal from New Brunswick that would carry Expos games.

Yes, that's right, I was at one point in my life a hybrid Sox/Expos fan. It was in the days of good Expos players like Dennis Martinez, Andres Galarraga and Tim Raines, so I guess there was some justification. I always thought the uniforms were a bit strange of course, but this was the late 80's and early 90's, so theirs wasn't the only odd uniform out there.

I'm over it now, but, it about killed me when they left Montreal. There's a small, vindictive part of me that is glad the Nationals suck.
