I am an avid sports fan. My Saturdays in the fall are fully entrenched in college football. I am a huge Michigan Wolverines football fan even thought I didn’t go there nor grow there. I also have season tickets to the Northwestern Wildcats football. I didn’t go there either, but living in Chicago it’s a chance to see Big 10 football without traveling too far. In the spring and summer, my time is focused on baseball, specifically the Chicago White Sox. I have season tickets and probably see about 10-20 games a year in person.

I also am trying to visit as many major league ballparks as possible. I have visited 16 as of 2008 (you can see them all below). 6 of them no longer exist as of 2009.
