My name is Katherina, Im 16 from Florida. I first began to watch baseball with my father and grandmother who are diehard fans but I myself never really felt much for the game until I moved, After the move watching baseball became a way for me to deal with it. Now I love everything about the game.
I love to romanticize the game. I love the stability. I love Spring Training, Opening day, the World Series. No other professional sport is as great as baseball!
Once I finish high school I plan to major in Journalism and become a sports writer so this is a good chance for me to work on my writing skills, As well as discover if this is really where my passion is.
I am looking forward to the start of the 2003 season!!
