Warm-Up Tosses

This is my first entry, so I guess I should explain who I am a little bit.

I'm not much, by today's standards. I'm a kid who happens to have a laptop, a passion, and lots of free time.

I used to tell people how I feel about baseball, but nobody took me seriously, so I kind of keep to myself now. They shrugged it off as a phase. You know how it is. I figure people who are reading blogs on MLB.com are going to feel the same about baseball that I do.

So here I am.

My team is the Kansas City Royals, and honestly, when the word "pride" comes up, they're generally who/what I think of. Heck, I don't even refer to my house as "home" anymore. If that's where I'm going, I never say "I'm going home." I say, "I'm going to my house." Now, when I'm off to Kauffman Stadium, that's when I'll start talking about home.

My favorite player is Mark Teahen. I know the numbers aren't much to look at, but he is a leader, he's active in the community, and he hustles. He's not some guy with dollar signs in his eyes. He understands what a privilege it is to be on that field every night, and he doesn't mind being on a small-market team that has recently, uh, sucked.

After that is Alex Rodriguez. Yeah, you can like some guys for the right reasons, but you've also got to have a favorite based on stats.

There's my little rant for the day. Many more to come!!

Go Royals!
