My dad and I don’t agree on many things when it comes to sports fandom. My dad is a diehard Dodgers fan while I have always been a Red Sox fan. It goes beyond baseball, as we each share different sides of the Celtics/Lakers rivalry and the Patriots/Jets rivalry. At least we both share our fanhood of the Boston Bruins.
However, despite our differences in fan allegiance, I wouldn't be the sports fan I am today without my dad. I learned about reading everything I could in preparation for a new season from him. I learned how to obsessively pour over box scores to pull out interesting information from him.
