It was great to see the crowd yesterday at Camden yards be full of fans who actually were there to see the team. The excitement over Matt Wieters' arrival was great to see in a town that had become basically lethargic when it comes to it's baseball team.
It's is amazing how the people of a city can have such faith in one person to change the fate of the organization. It's even more amazing because he is such a young man and assuredly he will struggle at some point. For now however, it must be a great feeling to know that so many people want to see you succeed. Hopefully he won't put too much pressure on himself to carry the team by himself, especially during this upcoming season.

Me and my teams
After careful consideration I have decided to add a sports blog to my repetoire to complement my existing Hip-Hop Blog. The best way to start out is to lay the foundation by talking about the sports and teams I follow.
Let me say now some things will probably be weird to some people. I'm black, under 30, not from the South and I enjoy baseball, Football, and Nascar first and foremost. Then there is college basketball and lastly NBA Playoff basketball. I will occasionally watch some college football because some relatives now play at that level but not much. The number one team of all high schools is of course, The Knights of Baltimore City College High School.
In baseball I am a hometown fan of the Baltimore Orioles. and of course the biggest, baddest football team in America, The Baltimore Ravens.
I don't have many Nascar drivers that stand out more than any others because I like to see variety in competitiveness. I can say I am not a fan of the Hendrick Motorsports team and I tend to favor Ford drivers like David Ragan, but more on that later.
In the NBA, I am more a fan pf players than I am of teams, of course being from Baltimore I follow Carmelo Anthony closely, but for some reason not Rudy Gay. Kobe is the best player today although Lebron is very close and Dwayne Wade can carry his team just like either of those guys.
Thats the start of this blog so I hope you can stick around for more!
