When did it all begin? When dad taught you how to throw, catch, or hold the bat correctly? Pickup games at a nearby park or gym? Or maybe when you started following one team and then another (in another sport)? How about your 1st trip to a pro stadium? Well, you marveled when your heroes did things you could only dream of doing. But you tried! I'll bet your closet has a jersey with his name and number on the back. Do you secretly replay that moment again and again on YouTube? Why? Why not! You still get joy out of it; there's a huge visceral difference between winning and losing.
So, find your teams, locate those years your players played and all those games you still want to remember. Stirring those memories will stir your heart. Grab your seat, sit back, and enjoy the journey!

It’s been a joy researching the history of America’s greatest sports. Who knew that Baseball was once known as Round Ball…or it took a sitting President to help rescue football…or James Naismith’s 1st basketball game in a tiny gym was 9 men on 9, only 1 hoop, two-handed dribble, and the final score was 1-0? My e-books will give you the scores, but also add context, statistics, and memories that made each season unforgettable.
Names (known and unknown) are many, as are the number of teams, and the odd rules. How good are you at remembering the scores? Well, test your knowledge, check your memory, and during your journey – see why your loyalties remain deep and protected.
Each sport tells a story – from their erratic beginnings to now. My start began in 1993; yours just started! While you’re at it, bring a friend or two.
