And so it Begins...

Its official, Toby is a Red Sox fan. I attempted to convince him that we live in St. Louis and if he wanted to, he could be a Cardinals fan. Without any provocation on my part, he willing chose his first team to support. He actually began to cry when I told him he didn't have to be a Sox fan and I figured, why pick this battle? So, low and behold, here he is, eagerly awaiting his first Red Sox game. Now, as you can see, the joy and splendor of the eternal hope of Spring Training brings a smile to his face, as he is yet to see a 5 game lead crumble amongst the pressure of a weekend series in New York in September... which we all know will lead to his first tears as a Red Sox fan. That will be a right of passage that every Sox fan must endure and there are some things as a dad that I just won't be able to protect him from... With that, we all know things could be worse, it could be a Cubs logo on his chest...
