The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer. Football has come to an end and I am just about growing sick of basketball, although I can't help but admit I have been enjoying the Linsanity craze.
Anyway, baseball season.
The problem is as much as I love the sport I can't say I have an MLB team I am rooting for. I grew up a Yankees fan but recently renounced my fandom to the team last season because I just can't bring myself to cheer for a team with Alex Rodriguez. I don't like him.
Despite growing up cheering for Jeter, Rivera, Posada and later on Granderson, Swisher and Cano...I found myself cringing when I saw A-Rod due anything of productiveness and in fact rooting against him. I told my friends I was done with the Yankees so long as A-Rod was on the team.
But where does that leave me? How can I truly enjoy an MLB season with no hopes or aspirations for any of the teams? Yet, it'd be too hypocritical of me to realize my error and return to rooting for the team I spent my whole life rooting for. Why let the jerseys in my closet go to waste?
I'm not sure where this all leaves me for the 2012 season. All of this being said, I am still ecstatic for the upcoming season simply because I love the game.
Go Mets?
