I am a St. Louis Cardinals fan, and although the route which I took in becoming one was a bit circuitous, I live and breathe Cardinals' baseball now.

I was born and raised in California, and still hold a rather unhealthy attachment to the Golden State. Growing up, I was an San Francisco Giants fan, mostly because their A-ball affiliate was the closest baseball team around. Incidentally, after a little digging on the wiki page, the Fresno Giants/Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernandino--they've apparently changed their name since I've left, and that new second name is horrid--used to be an affiliate of the Cardinals.

I've bounced around quite a lot during my lifetime, and my moves have taken me through Atlanta and Europe. I've settled down in St. Louis, and have now lived here for 10 years. I latched on to the Cardinals, as I hadn't really had a team during my torrid movement around the globe, and have stuck with them ever since. It's been a fun ride, and I can't wait to see what the next decades have in store.
