I am a sports fan and it’s is the beginning of a new season.  Baseball is all over my television and there were riots over college hockey in my hometown overnight.  Since it’s Fan Friday, I will share my favorite sports and teams with you and also a few sports you won’t find me watching.
Sports you won’t see me watching:
Boxing or fighting of any kind (exclude Rocky please because that’s a movie)
Soccer
Golf
Nascar or any driving sport

Sports I like watching sometimes:
Basketball – I do sometimes feel like the Kardashians have taken over this sport, but I love the last 2 minutes of any basketball game.
Tennis – I like watching Tennis, but I don’t really have any favorites.  I just enjoy watching the faces they make when hitting that ball and then trying to copy them when I hit a tennis ball.

All events of the Olympics – Except that I only like watching them during the Olympics (unless it’s snowboarding, I like that all the time.)
Here is my list of my favorite sports and my favorite teams:
Hockey – I have written about hockey a few times before including reasons I love hockey.  It’s the sport I grew up with in the cold tundra of Minnesota.  I didn’t really understand the love of college football, because we only had a D1 hockey team (go Bulldogs.)  Hockey during the Olympics this year was my favorite thing to watch.  My NHL team of choice is the New York Rangers.
Football – I didn’t grow up in a football family, so this love bloomed once I started dating Justin.  I have now learned the heartbreak of being a Minnesota Vikings fan and I love every minute of it.
Baseball – And this is my favorite.  I love everything about Baseball, but mostly, I love afternoon games when the sun is shining, the beer is flowing, my team is winning and I’m eating funnel cakes (or something else amazingly bad for me.)  I will always be a Minnesota Twins fan, but I also cheer for the Boston Red Sox since that is my husband’s team and we celebrated our engagement at Fenway Park (plus it’s our favorite ball park in the country.)
This baseball season has me more excited than most.  Now that we live on the East Coast, we will be crossing so many new stadiums off our list.  We are heading to Yankee Stadium at the end of the April and I can’t wait.
We have been to 8 out of 30 stadiums so far.
Those are my sports, my teams and the things that get me excited.  In other athletic news, I ran with my husband last night and he pushed me during the last 1/4 of a mile so I sang Eye of the Tiger loudly to try and embarrass him.  Mission failed.  I just got really winded and learned that he can quickly leave me in the dust.  Happy Friday all.
Tell me what your favorite sport is and what team you cheer for.  You can also check out my guest post today on one of my favorite blogs, Life According to Steph.
