Admittedly, I haven’t been as engrossed with the New York Knicks’ pre season as much as I usually am at this time of year. How could I be with New York’s other lovable losers in orange and blue blazing their way to the Word Series?
The truth is that before I fell in love with the game of basketball and the Knicks, I was born into a New York Mets family.
My childhood room was full of Mets regalia, but I followed the team in the way a kid today follows the Avengers: sure, I wore Mets clothes and watched an inning or two every so often, but I was too young to understand all the intricacies of the game.
