I never did have a team that I watched in my younger days.

I would have to say that because I've lived in so many cities, by no means do I feel it's fair to call myself a 'fan' of any particular teams.

I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets, so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y.

As a kid, baseball was always my passion.

Baseball is a game of tradition. It lives, in large measure, on its past.
