OK, so I'm a baseball geek.

As the title says, I'm a baseball geek. The new MLB Network started on New Year's Day, and I can't get enough. Even though I've seen the same show about perfect games four times now, and sat through the Don Larsen perfect game twice late at night, I keep going back. All baseball all the time! It's a baller's dream come true. I can't wait until the season starts, when they have cameras in every stadium! If my wife is reading this she is shaking her head right now and mentally calling me what I am...a baseball geek. I'm not apologizing for it. In fact I revel in it, relish it, and am proud that I've passed it on in varying degrees to both of my sons. I'm not saying she's not a baseball fan, and knowledgeble as well, just she's a fan not a FAN(atic) who will search out the box scores first thing in the morning, and go to sleep watching the replays on TV at night. Or wears a baseball logo tie or watch (thanks for the gifts, hon). In fact, among my favorite movies, what else: Major League, Field of Dreams and The Natural. And Caddyshack, but come on, what guy doesn't love Caddyshack ("It's in the hole!").
