I was born in San Antonio, TX, and I've been a baseball fan since before I was old enough to stay up late to watch games. When I was a toddler, my mom and I would sit together at home and watch baseball games in the afternoon. What team was always on in the afternoons? The Cubs, on WGN. Naturally, the Cubs became my favorite team.
I attended my first Cubs game in Houston when I was too young to remember anything about it, other than the painfully long drive back home and something about a pitcher throwing the ball away on a sacrifice bunt in extra innings.
Since then, I've been to only a handful more games because of how far away the nearest MLB team is. Of the 8 or 10 major league ballgames I've been to, most have been in Houston - either in the Astrodome or Minute Maid Park - though I have been once each to Arlington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wrigley (after my high school graduation... thanks Mom!).
My two most memorable Cubs games include the 9/25/1998 game, in which Sammy Sosa hit his 66th home run of the year about 100 feet over my head in the Astrodome to take the lead in the home run chase for about 45 minutes over twice-homering Mark McGwire; and the 9/23/2001 game, in which Sammy Sosa hit 3 home runs at then-Enron Field (2 of them clearing the railroad tracks), yet the Cubs still found a way to lose that game (7-6, on a 315-foot left-field-foul-pole-scraping home run by Moises Alou).
Now I attend Lehigh University, where I'm a mechanical engineer and an outfielder on the baseball team. I'm a big proponent of intangibles in baseball - doing the little things, playing smart baseball, and maintaining a positive attitude.

One last thing: GO SPURS GO!
