Why I love sports: Our love letter to the games that have molded us

We are all Bill Murray right now. And we're living the same day over and over in the sportsworld. Unfortunately for us, this Groundhog Day is the day after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. There are no games.

The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has upended life around the world. With the games on hold, we decided to reflect on why we love sports in the first place. We started our series of personal essays about what sports mean to each of us on March 22.

Throughout the coming weeks, the sports staff of The Oklahoman — as well as readers, local sports and civic leaders — will open a vein and write their heart out.
