Sports Teams

My whole life--at least as long as I can remember--I have been a Green Bay Packers fan. It's easy to understand why; I grew up in Wisconsin where seemingly everyone is a Packers fan. I thought upon moving to Florida that my affection for the Green and Gold might waiver. It hasn't. I still cried when we they won Superbowl XLV. I felt like it was a personal victory. What does seem a bit foreign to me is my more recent fan affiliation to the Saint Louis Cardinals. First off, I have never been a fan of baseball. Second, I am not from the arched city. However, my boyfriend was born in Saint Louis, and a great portion of his family still lives there. Last year, we stayed up late to watch the awe-inspiring games of the World Series. Their performance in Game 6 was extraordinary. I couldn't believe the pride I felt in the Cardinals when they won the championship. I had all these feelings for a team that wasn't even mine. This year, the Cardinals have had a strong showing in the post-season as well. I am excited to watch Game 5 of the National League Championship Series tonight. If they win, they will be heading to the World Series for the second consecutive year. How exciting is that?! Also, go Packers and beat the Saint Louis Rams on Sunday!
