Hi everyone. Just discovered and joined this group today. I can sense the excitement in the air as spring training revs up.
Anyway, I'd like to share a story with you. Being Massachusetts residents, my family and I have naturally become fans of the Red Sox. When Johnny Damon moved to the Yankees, my son (then 9 years old) was quite upset to see his hero leave town.
"Why did Johnny Damon go with the Yankees, Dad?"
"Well, the Yankees offered him more money than the Red Sox were paying, so Johnny decided to take the offer and went to play for the Yankees."
My son sniffed a little, stuck his chin out, folded his arms across his chest and retorted, "You mean - the New York BANKees."
My son's first lesson in sports loyalty. He became furiously supportive of the players who stayed with the Red Sox that year!
Have a great day, all.
