PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — In Philadelphia, most sports fans have been that for as long as they can remember. We start them young here and may be no better time to be a fan.
The innocence of childhood, coupled with the romanticism of sports heroes makes for a time of extreme wonder when rooting for your favorite teams and players. They are like real-life superheroes.
There is no greater evidence of this than the way we all felt when we made the briefest little bit of contact with these heroes. The feeling of getting an autograph from your favorite athlete or having the chance to speak to them for even just a moment can create a memory that sticks with you for an eternity.
